Visions of a mlntbed green, and bluer bends the sky, The Sun Is coming to his own, the blizzard's blowing by; The larks will soon be lively, the cattle crop the grass; June, and dreams of juleps the Ice-clink of the grass! (Colonel and captain Friends of days so true, Weary was the winter, But here's a health to you.) The Picnic Lady's coming across the meadows sweet To hear a woodland opera that's mighty hard to beat; And oh, the red June-roses that brighten every scene, And the mlntbeds of old Geor- gia In raiment dewy- green! (Health lo the Springtime Lady! And friends of days so true, You know the mint's rare meanln, . And health to you!) Frank L. Stanton In Atlanta Constiution. IT STILL STANDS. A wire received from the state en gineer's office yesterday by the East Oregonlan shows that the Dr. Andrew C. Smith filing upon the waters of the Umatilla river still stands. Well! Well! Then why are the anonymous patriots who are on the job of the Umatilla Infringement as sociation shouting so strongly against the West Extension? ,Why are they clamoring for the government to abandon the extension and relinquish Its filing upon the water? Should the government abandon the West Extension at this time the settlers on the Upper Umatilla and tributary creeks would not be en titled to one drop of water they are not entitled to now. The water would go to Dr. Andrew C. Smith and to Dr. Coe who is admittedly behind the Smith filing. They have a filing that is a duplicate of the govern ment's filing and it becomes effective if the government withdraws from the field. I In view of this situation it may be seen what choice buncombe the anti extension workers have been handing out to the settlers on the upper river. Working for the Sturgis project, are they? Upholding the sacred rights of the Eirch creek settlers, are they? Their work would do credit to the Italian Machaivelll founder and or iginator of the School of Smooth and Crafty Jobbery. Eefore the antl-extenisionists say another word against the extension they should first have Dr. Andrew C. Smith and Dr. H. W. Coe relinquish their filing upon the waters of the river. Kot long ago Dr. Coe made the assertion that he held the filing to be of little value and wou'.d give It up. Why has he not done so? But even should the Andrew C. Smith filing be relinquished It would not Insure any water for the upper river people. There are probably other filings ahead of filings by local people and there would be nothing to keep some other party from step ping Jn and renewing the filing made by Dr. Coe In the name of Andrew C. Smith. Under the law the water of the river does not necessarily go to the men who want It most and think they need it most. It goes to the first ap plicant no matter whether he be on the upper river or the lower river, whether he be a lawyer, a farmer or a candle stick maker. If a filing is withdrawn the water goes to the next succeeding applicant, no matter who he is. Local waterusers should think and find out what they are doing before they act. They should not allow themselves to be used as catspaws to rake chestnuts out of the fire for other people. A GREAT OVII.IZF.Il. Helix Is getting a rural route that is wanted very badly by the farmers in that section and also by the 'towns people. It Will assuredly be a great convenience to the farmers. Over 100 families will be able to secure their mail at their very doors each day. A farmer will not have to stop work and go many miles to town to obtain his mail. If he breaks a head er during harvest and wants an "ex tra" he can write or call his dealer by 'phone and have the missing part sent out the following day. The housewife too will find the rural route a great convenience. The rural free delivery system is a great civilizer and does much towards making country life enjoy able. WASTED TALENT. In a very tardy letter to Secretary of the Interior Fisher, Mr. G. L. Hurd of Stanfield tries to explain how the organization of which he is sec retary came to usurp the name of the Umatilla River Waterusers' associ ation and use that name to fight the wishes and the welfare of the mem bers of the real waterusers organi zation. With great complacency Mr. Hurd argues to the secretary that he and his friends have a right to use the name Umatilla County Waterusers' association. Even after they are warned they are infringing upon a corporate name. In other waxds he says they have a right to be almost crooked if they want to. Of course Hurd and all the rest of them know better than this. If they don't they are unhonest. They don't know square dealing when they see It. They are wasting their talents in Umatilla county. They should be selling wooden nutmegs to the natives of Zamboosa or insuring southern darkies, for a dollar each, against the dangers of Halley's comet. OF GENERAL BENEFIT. The chief purpose of the poultry show which Is now on at the armory ifl the development of the poultry in dustry in the counties of Umatilla and Morrow. The show brings breeders and would-be breeders together and encourages the idea of improving the poultry stock of the two counties. The gathering enthuses men, women and children to try their hand at poultry raising. Naturally the more people that go into poultry raising the bet ter it is for all concerned. The en eouragemont of the poultry business 's a step towards more Intensive farm ing in eastern Oregon and it is a step towards lowering the cost of living. MAN BUILDS A QUEER CLOCK. A remarkable clock, made by one of the villagers who began life on a farm and Is self-taught, has been placed In the parish church of Woot ten Rivers, near Marlborough. The component parti of the clock are made from scrapped odds and ends found in the village. Estimates were received for a clock as a public memorial of the corona tion, but the cost was found to be too great, and a counter proposal was carried that there should be a public dinner Instead. Mr Spratt, one of the villagers, subsequently offered to make a clock free of charge If some one would help him with the heavier work and the people would find a few hundredweight of Kteel, Iron, brass and lead, as there was plenty of ma terial available in the parish. Although the project was looked upon rather as a 'joke, Mr. Spratt pro ceeded with the work and a hetero genous collection of material was brought to his cottage by the villag ers. The three dials of the clock are made of iron enameled with a white background and black figures and hands. On one is the inscription. "Glory be to God," instead of the unual Roman numbers. The rod of the pendulum, which takes a second to be swung, Is made of wood, and the "bob" of lead, weighing sixty-six pound. Tho frame Is cast In one piece and weighs over one hundred- weigh. This is bolted to brackets let into the wall. Most of the wheels are made of very hard brass, the pin Ions of steel being suitably tempered. The escapement is made on the grav ity principle. The driving weight lifts the pallets a certain distance alternately and these, in returning, give constant im pulse to the pendulum. By this ar rangement the action of wind or snow on the exposed hands is overcome and they cannot it Ms claimed affect the time keeping, which the maKer ex pects to be within two or three sec onds a week, though this remains to be (roved, as he has never seen a clock of this kind of escapement, it being a modification of a sketch in Britten's handbook. SOUR MILK AND LONGIVITY. The dietetic use of sour milk was discovered by Metchnikoff for the fol lowing reasons: According to his theory, the principal agent in senile degeneration is the putrefaction of imperfectly digested food in the intes tines. The products of putrefaction are absorbed by the blood, and result In slow poisoning. This process re quires the presence of a particular group of bacteria. While it is pos sible to some extent to prevent tho entrance into the body of such bac teria, a simpler and more effective plan is to introduce another set of microDes having the power of destroy ing or neutralizing them. Metchni koff proved that the bacilli that pro duces lactic acid, i. e., those that fer ment the milk sugar and riroJ 11 Po annr milk, fulfill this requirement. Since nia theory was published many lab oratory preparations containing m.i tures of the lactic bacillus have been put on tne market. Longevity appears to be the rue in many parts of the world where fer mented milk is a common beverage. Thus it is reported that Bulgarian peasants, living under . conditions which in general are far from hy gienic, frequently attain ages ranging from 100 to 120 years.

Allen Fort, pastor of the Baptist tabernacle in Chattanooga, asked J. B. Capeheart, a railroad con ductor, to take up the collection one day. it was Mr. Capeheart's first experience as a taker of collections In church. He started down the center aisle. There were several children on the first pew and each put in a penny. The people in the next pew also con tributed something each. A big. glub fellow sat alone in the third pew. Capeheart passed him the plate. Th man shook his head and stuck his hands deep in his pocket. Capeheart stopped, put up his hand to Jerk the bell cord and said: "Well, you'll havo to get off." Sat urday Evening Post. A Bright British Boy. , Sir Edward Carson, ex-solicitor gen eral, told a good story against him self at the distribution of prises at the Croydon high senool for boys. The less suitable of the bovs who wished to be accepted as cadets for the navy were weeded out at the be ginunlng by a special method, he ex plaining. "I had a boy who went through the ordeal. I waited outside until it was over. When my son came out I asked him what had been said to him. 'A lot of rot,' he replied. "They asked me if my father was the solic itor general' and when I said that he was they wanted to know why I was not following in his lootsteps. I re plied that perhaps after I had failed at this job I would take it up.' "I knew then that he had passed." London Mail. WHY WEST WAS ELECTED. Governor West of Oregon Is the youngest governor in the United States He is only 37 years old. Need less to remark, his appearance is de cidedly youthful. Addressing an au dience at Buffalo, he said: "There is a great chance for young men in Oregon. That is how I hap pened to be elected. My opponent was so young that the voters were afraid to trust him." Judge. A Philedelphla bride received pres ents amounting to many millions, few of which the donors really earned. The mor candidates against Laf ferty the better he will be suited. SAID SHE WOULD FAINT Mrs. Delia Long Unable to Stand Oo Her Feet More Than a Few Minutes at a Time. Pendergrasa, Ga. Mrs. Delia Long, of this place, in a recent letter, says: "For five or six years, I suffered agon ies with womanly troubles. Often, I couldn't sit up more than a few minutes at a time, and If I stood on ray feet long, I would faint I took Cardul, and It helped me Im mediately. Now, I can do my work all the time, and don't suffer like I did." Take Cardul when you feel 111 In anr way weak, tired, miserable, or under the weather.

SOME SPLENDID SUGGESTIONS. Pendleton, Or., Jan. 27. Editor East Oregonlan: . There must be some great misun derstanding as to facts between these water users and the people of the Umatilla extension project It is a well established fact that the flood water turned on tho land In the spring conserves the water, Instead of wast ing it, and where the drainage flows back to the stream, will surely In crease the flow in the summer, when the water Is needed. There Is water enough going to waste every spring and winter to fill a half dozen such reservoirs as the government propos es to build at the mouth' of Butter creek. Even If this were not true, the waters turned out on the land is not wasted, it will surely return to tho streams when most needed. It Is a mystery to me why the government should object to this. The same thing holds good in the upper Umatilla river. If the Indians would flood the entire reservation with the flood waters in the spring, our mills would never have to shut down every summer for the want of water. This Is no guess work, but an absolute certainty. Then why not quit quarreling and all hands join to gether. The, people of Pendleton, the milling interests, and the Indians join and urge the government to build reservoirs, ditches, etc., for the In dians that cou'.d not be put to a bet ter use. This brings me to another thing, that is of most vital interest to the people of Pendleton. The jjgsvivtty system of water is one of the great est importance to Pendleton. I have given the gravity system a great deal of time andthought, In face, I with others (our present Mayor included) spent a year's time having surveys and estimates of cost of both wood and iron pipe. Never thinking of pumping water until after we found out that we did not have money enough to put in the gravity system. I went to Portland myself to con sult the chief of the Portland water works, and finally induced him to come to Pendleton and look over the notes and estimates of Mr. Zayner, but found the worg could not be done for less. It was then, at his sugges tion that we put in a pumping plant that would do for a few years, not to exceed ten. Mr. Zayner found that by starting from the present site of the reservoir and giving ample fall for the pipe, it would reach the river in eight miles. This would be be lo wany dam or ditches that nnight be built for the Indians, and the wa ter be practictlly pure. To get any thing better we would have to extend the pipe above the Wenaha Springs, which at present is impracticable. To consider the waters of North Fork is simply nonsense to those that know anything about it. I will not suggest something for the Commercial association to consider In connection with the gravity sys tem. Organize a light and power com pany, put in a plant that will furnish power to turn every wheel now used, and furnish cheap power for other industries. There is no reason why Mothers No young weman, la the Joy of coming motherhood, should neglect to prepare her system for the phys ical ordeal she is 1c undergo. The health of both she and her coming child depends largely upon the care she bestows upon herself during the waiting months. Mother's Friend prepares the expectant mother's sys tem for the coming event, and its use makes her comfortable during all the term. It works with and for nature, and by graduf"" expanding all tis sues, muscles involved, and keeping t Vfri od con dition, brings the v..""" ae crisis in splendid physical condu.n. The baby too is more apt to be perfect and strong where the mother has thus prepared herself for nature's supreme function. No better advice could be given a your.g expectant mother than that she use Mother's Friend ; it is a medicine that has proven its value in thousands of cases. Mother's Friend is sold at drug stores. Write for -free book for expect Mother's Irieivd ant mothers which contains much valuable information, and many sug gestions of a helpful nature.

"About four years ago I broke out with sores on my arms like boils. After two months they were all over my body, some coming, and some going sway. In about six months the bolls quit, but my arms, neck and body broke out with an Itching, burning rash. It would bum and itch, and come out in pimples liko grains of wheat. I was In a terrible condition; I could not sleep or rest. Parts of my flesh were raw, and I could scarcely bear my clothes on. I could not lie In bed In any position and rest. In about a year the sores extended down to my feet. Then I suf fered agony with the burning, itching sores. I could hardly walk and for a long time I could not put on socks. "All this time I was trying everything I could hear of, and had the skill of three doctors. They said It was eczema. I got no benefit from all this. I was nearly worn out, and had given up in despair of ever being cured when I was advised by a friend to try Cuticura Remedies. I purchased Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent, and used exactly as directed. I used the Cuticura . Remedies constantly for four months, and nothing else, and was perfectly cured. It is now a year, and I have not bad the least bit since. I am ready to praise the Cuticura Remedies at any time." (Signed) E. L. Cate, Exie, Ky., Nov. 10, 1910.
