Joy is a duty; so with golden

The Hebrew Rabbis taught in
days of yore;
And happy hearts heard in their
speech
Almost the highest wisdom man

But one bright peak still rises
far above!
And there the master stands
whose name Js love,
Saying to those whom heavy
tasks employ,
Life is divine when duty is a
Joy.

HOPE FOR THE EXTENSION",
According to the declaration of Col.
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."

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

rium In his private residence that

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.

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.

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
