Lang-fitt, made at the banquet at Hermiston last evening, the chief question in connection with the pro posed extension of the Umatilla pro ject Is one that must be answered by the people of this section. The ques tion has to do with the price per acre settlers will be able to pay for the lund under the extension. It is a question that must be considered In determining the practicability of the extension. In extemporaneous talks last eve ning many local men told the engi neers, in effect, that they need have no fear upon this score. The land will be worth reclaiming even should the cost of reclamation run as high aa $150 per acre, which it is safe to say it will not do. Such are the natural conditions up on the extension that a, rather high cost t)f reclamation may be borne. The land is admirably located as to markets and it has excellent trans portation facilities. The altitude and climate are such that early fruits and vegetables may be raised and the growing season is long. The soil Is good and the contour of the land la such as to make the cost of levelling comparatively low. Then under the terms of the recla tion act the settlers are allowed ten years In which to make their payments to the government and they do not pay interest. Under this arrangement they have time to get their land to producing long before they are re quired to have it paid for. By the time the final payment is due the land should bo worth ten times as much as the governmental charge for re clamation. If the situation with reference to the extension is as Col. Langfitt Indi cated, then surely the hope for the extension is bright indeed. We may reasonably hope to see the Umatilla project extended so as to Include the 60.009 acres lying west of the river. SELFISH SCHEMES. The Madras Pioneer, of Crook county, regards the various county division schemes now before the peo ple in this wise: "Rob these county division schemes of the ambition of some little town which wants to he a county seat, and the desire of a few men to Increase the vale of their property, or to brighten up their political chances, and what is there left? These mo tives are the source of all this county division turmoil which is disturbing the state from border to border at Oils time. Not in a single Instance does Investigation of . these move ments prove this statement to be un true. "County organization Is a part of our government that most directly affects the welfare of the people, and this paper believes that such Import ant Interests as this ought to be put where every pety schemer In the elate can't monkey with them. The time to put these county division schemes out of the wny for all time Is now, and the way to do this is to vrte against each and every one of them." Certainly there would be no aglta tion for the creation of Orchard county were It not for the selfish am bltlons of a few business men living a; Milton. The people residing in the greater portion of the district ae lected for the proposed new county are against division. Most of the tnwns in the proposed county are fighting division and many of the people living right in the vicinity of Milton do not want the move to carry. WHAT WILL OREGON' DO? Prom all over the country comes continued reports of progressive vic- tories. In Wisconsin Senator La r uiirne, ui igiuai uisui geui, tiua uccn renominated for senator by a four to one vote. He has a lead of 100.000 over his opponent. Thus has the "old guard" of Wisconsin downed Little Bob and the principles for which he stands. In Michigan Senator Burrows, one of the most tried and trusty senators of the Aldrich-Cannon machine, has been turned down by the people. If the Michigan legislature obeys the will of the people as expressed in the primary election Burrows' seat will be filled by a progressive. Even to conservative old New Eng land has the progressive spirit ex ten'ded. New Hampshire republicans have named a progressive candidate for governor. In view of what is going on else' where in the union what may we ex pect of Oregon. This Is naturally a progressive state. Oregon was one of the very first states to break away from the old system of machine rule which always means rule in behalf of special Interests. Now that Ore gon has come out of the damp and stinking hole of political corruption is it to go back? The answer will be given on the 24th day of this month and it is the prediction of the East Oregonlan that when the returns are In from the primary election the news will be sad reading for the re actionaries of this state who are Just now more specifically designated by the term assemblyltes. A WELCOME OFFER. That Is a generous offer that has been made the Commercial club by the manager of the Pacific light and power company. If the commercial body will construct an illuminated sign bearing a slogan exploiting the city the light company will furnish electricity for the sign free of cost. This action on the part of the elec tric company is most welcome and the offer should be accepted with pleasure. The offer of the company ndicates that the present owners are anxious to do their part towards bringing about the further growth and advancement of this city. In the past the electric company has done but little along this line and the change in policy should be appreci ated. Let us have the big booster sign. The cost will not be great and we need it. Towns are built; they do not grow. The men who constitute the rem nants of the old republican machine p this county do not like C. A. Bar rett, candidate for the nomination for joint senator. But the rank and file of the republican voters think well of him. They have elected him twice as representative and the last time he led the legislative ticket despite knif ing on the part of the machine men. All indications are that they will again uphold him. He is the "pro gressive" candidate for Joint senator. By the manner in which they en tertained the army engineers and other guests last evening the men of Hermiston and the loyal ladies of that little city upheld the reputation of Hermiston as a hospitable and courteous town. It is evident that at leant five mem bers of the Balllnger Investigating committee are not In favor of a whitewash." Those Meacham safecrackers used rare Judgment In going to a place where many people had passed their vacations. This county wants the army engi neers to order a further attack upon the west end desert. FISH TRICKS. Fish have many times been taught to perform tricks and it would ap pear as if they had much more In telligence than is attributed to them J. A. Bailey of circus ramc, once had two brook trout In a small aqua- rium In his private residence that would Jump out of the water and take Utterly Wretched Nervous Prostration Long Endured Before Remedy was Found. Miss Minerva Remlnger, Upptr liern. Pa., writes: "For several years I had nervous prostration, and was utterly wretched. I lived on bread and beef tea because my stomach would not re tain anything else. I took many r m edies, but obtained no relief until i took Hood's Sarsaparllla, when I begun to gain at once. Am now cured." Pure, rich blood mnkes good, strong nerves, and this Is why Hood's Santa parilia, which purifies and enriches the blood, cures so many nervous diseases. Get It today In usual liquid form or chocolated tablets called S&rsalAbS. files held -between the forefinger and thumb, and would also ring a little bell when they required fqod. They would also leap over little bars of wood placed about two Inches above the surface of the water. It was a very simple matter to teach the fish these tricks. At first a little tower containing a tfny, sweet- toned silver bell was fastened to the iron work of the aquarium with a piece of string attached to the tongue of the bell extending into the water where the trout were. On tire loose end of the string an insect or other tempting morsel was placed, which the fish would at once seize and, pulling the cord, the bell In the tower would naturally tinkle. . , After this had been repeated sev eral days, the fish were left without food for some little time until they found they could obtain it by pulling the string to which the delicacies had been attached. This they never failed to jjo ever afterward when they were hungry, and as that was nearly all the time, the little bell was constantly tinkling. as the fish were continually pulling the cord and it was quite a pretty and novel sight. ANIMALS THAT WEEP. While the act of laughing may be peculiar to man, the same Is not true of weeping, which, if we are to ac cept the testimony of a French natu rallst, is a manifestation of emotion that Is met in divers animals. It is said that the creatures that weep most easily are the ruminants, with whom the act is so well known that it has given rise to the trivial but accurate expression, "to weep like a calf." All hunters know that the stag weeps, and we are ajso told that the bear sheds tears when It comes to a consciousness of its last hour. The giraffe Is not less sensitive, and re gards with tearful eyes the hunter who has wounded it. This animal al so weeps through downright nostal gia. Dogs also are held to be lachry mose, and the same holds In the case of certain monkeys. Sparrman states the elephant sheds tears when wound ed or when It perceives that It can not escape. Aquatic animals, too, it appears, are able to weep. Thus, many authori ties agree, dolphins at the moment of deth draw deep sighs and shed tears abundantly. A young female seal was observed to weep when teased by a sailor. St. Hilaire and Cuvier re count on the authority of the Malays, that when a young dungong is cap tured the mother is sure to be taken also. The little ones then cry out and shed tears. These tears are col lected with great care by the Malays and are preserved as a charm that Is certain to render a lover's affection lasting. SCIENCE NOTES. . Windsor, Ontario, has decided to purchase electric power from Ni agara. The HO.OOO-volt line to Lon don, Ontario, will be' extended the 108 miles separating Windsor from London. Windsor will sell much of the power it receives to Detroit across the river. Thus the electricity used In Detroit will have been conducted over a distance of 220 miles. Four and one-half miles of the channel at the Pacific entrance to the Panama canal hare been completed, throughout this distance the dredg ing has been carried down to a depth of 45 feet. Chile has contracted with a London firm for a war vessel of 32,000 tons to be armed with the heaviest gun In existence. The cost will be, accord ing to dispatches, $15,000,000.
