SPRINGTIME VISIONS.
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!)

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. The relation

CONDUCTING A COLLECTION.
The Rev. 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

, 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."

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.

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. Cardul Is a strength
building tonic medicine for women.
It has been found to reliere pain and
distress caused by womanly troubles,
and is an excellent medicine to bare on
hand at all times.
Cardul acts on the womanly consti
tution, building up womanly strength,
toning up the nerves, and regulating
the womanly organs.
Its half century of success Is due to
merit It has done good to thousands.
Will you try it? It may he Just what
you need. Ask your druggist about

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

And Burning. Sores Like Boils All
Over Body. Parts of Flesh Raw.
Could Scarcely Bear Clothes On.
Nearly Worn Out When He Tried
Cuticura Remedies and Was Cured.
"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,

we should not have a hundred irri

known fact that there are thousands
of acres of valuable land In the vlcin

the Hermlston project look like thirty
cents, and If put In cultivation would
