Under the new tariff now on final

This is the way in which the new
tariff "injures" the wheatgrowers of
Umatilla county and of the northwest.
It injures them by making a heavy
reduction ln the duty on grain bags
thereby providing the farmers with
cheaper wheat sacks.

those men are logically entitled to
praise. It Is trying to palm off a lie
upon its readers. It would have them
believe the new tariff imposes a great
Injustice on wheatraisers when in
stead the new bill reduces the adva
lorum duty on grain bags from 15 to
10 per cent and strikes out the spe
cific duty entirely, thereby conferring
a decided benefit upon farmers.
If the fact he assisted in reducing
the duty on grain bags places Sena
tor Chamberlain ln a dilemma it Is an
enviable dilemma. The senator Is al
so to be envied for the manner in
which the Oregonlan fights him. When
a newspaper must resort to chicanery
to injure a public man Is unconsci
ously pays that man a great compli
ment which in this day and age
voters should have sense enough to
discern.
Is It a fact that the single woman
has better business ability than the
married woman and is it
Women In true that of all women
Business. the widow is most unre
liable in business?
It would seem to be that such is' the
case in England at least. There is an
official report which gives the follow
ing facts:
Of 390 women traders who failed
in business in London during the last
year, 155 were widows, 151 married
and 81 single. But the average am
ount of liabilities of the three classes
varied greatly. With fewer than
twice as many failures the widows had
more than three times the debts of
the single women. The married wom
en's obligations were two and a half
times that of those who never know
a husband.
On the face of this report the single
woman has the best of the showing
unless It be that a failure with heavy
liabilities Is a badge of success In
which case the widow would excel.
O here's to Umatilla!
Of harvest lands the Queen.
Here's to her flocks and herds.
Her fruit with its rosy sheen.
Here's to the sons of toll!
That garner her golden store.
And make the land of plenty.
That laughs from her open door.
Beyond the line of misty blue
She lies like the promised land
And glvea you a western welcome.
An open western hand.
O. you who fight for fortune
And turn to the setting sun.
Seek fair Umatilla
And find the battle won.
For fortune smiles in her green fields,
And follows her herds and flocks,
She sits In her sunny fruit lands
And wreaths her golden locks.
So here's to Umatilla,
Of harvest lands the Queen.
Here's to her flocks and herds,
Her fruit with its rosy sheen;
Here's to the sons of toil.
That garner her golden store.
Come, enter this land of plenty.
Come In at the open door.

Modern table manners compare fa

Hannah Woolley, author of "The Gen
tlewoman's Companion," the stand
ard seventeenth century book on eti
quette, found it necessary thus to
warn her readers: "Gentlewomen,

Trying to Spoil view of the proxlm
TIic Game. lty of Walla Walla
to Pendleton and the
previous friendly relations between
the towns Is Inexcusable. Walla Walla
lias shown a poor spirit ln this case
and it Is a fair Inference that those in
charge of affairs over there are men
of small calibre or they would have
acted differently,
From a Round-up standpoint the
worst feature about the Walld. Walla
show and other Imitation performanc
es Is that they discredit the game.
None of the numerous shows held
from Winnipeg to Los Angeles have
been up to the standard. They have
all been money making affairs and
usually have sought to take much and
give lltle though a conspicuous excep
tion seems to be shown at Ontario,
Oregon.
If these secondary shows are con
tinued long enough the Inevitable ef
fect will be to "queer" the whole
thing. People will see them and be
ing misled into believing each and
every one la "like the Pendleton
Round-up" they will fail to come to
the Round-up. Th fact the Thurs
day Round-up crowd this year was
small may be charged chiefly to the
fact almost every other town in the
country had been having a frontier
show of Its own.
It may be foolish to bother about
what other places do since we have
