These goods are Intended for the civilian population." I The foregoing is from a let ter sent July 3 to the share holders of the National Wool Warehouse & Storage Co., of Chicago. The information is interesting in view of the ef forts standpat newspapers make to show that under the new tariff foreign products flood this country in such man ner as to ruin our industries from stem to stern. t While the woolbuyers, aided by reactionary newspapers, were depressing the raw wool market with the free trade ar gument this country was actu ally selling clothing for civili an use to English mercantile houses and taking war orders galore. The woolgrowers of Oregon were betrayed by the very forces that claim to serve them with especial zeal. For politi cal reasons the facts about the wool market were distorted by certain papers and the sheep men were led to believe they were "ruined by the tariff" when in reality the conditions for selling wool were the most favorable that have ever ob tained in modern times. Woolgrowers will do well to shun those who shout about the destruction of the wool in dustry by the new tariff. For several seasons those calamity howlers have been the worst enemies the sheepmen have had to face. THE TRUTH IS BEST tm HE letter from Mr. Shum UL way today shows the awakening of the modern farmer to the fact that when he lies about his heavy yield when he does not have one he is playing straight into the hands of the buying interests. It is a fact that regularly the pre-harvest estimates about crop conditions have been ex aggerated. The government reports will indicate a 900,' 000,000 bushel yield for the country when the grain that gets into sack will amount to about 700,000,000 bushels This is partly the fault of the farmer, partly the newspapers and no doubt the buying inter esta have something to do with the matter. The best way is to tell the truth. That is what the East Oregonian has endeavored to do regarding the damage this year. The Portland papers have not had the truth. The stories have indicated bumper crops when there is no chance for a bumper crop. The dam age inflicted has been the most severe in many years if not in history. We will still get a crop and there is no necessity for weeping, but there is noth ing to be gained by overesti mating the situation and de pressing the price just when the new market is about to open. INSPIRED AT FOURSCORE C5f ROM a New York publish- 1 mg house comes the story of an unsolicited manu script life of Nathan Hale which, on investigation, proved to be the work of a woman eighty-one years of age, totally blind and partly deaf. This venerable author was as cheery a person as one could desire to meet, and she set about the suggested revision of her book with the spirit and energy of a beginner at letters. In a way, this is an instance without literary or artistic par allel, comments a New York paper. Milton, it is true, wrote po etry in his blindness. Beet haven composed music which he could not hear for himself. But in this later case we have one who, with the afflictions of .these two combined upon her, defies both her ills and her great burden of years. Under discouragements which would deaden a lesser soul and might cause a stronger body to perish, she lives intensely and finds her joy in fine activities of the mind. "Her glowing portrait of Hale," say the old lady's pub lishers, 'is nothing less than an inspiration." So we have Age in the twentieth century gath ering its vision of Youth in the eighteenth century and pre senting it in a word-picture fit for the illumination of history. There is more than the work of a gifted biographer here. There is a message and there J is an example for many who ' I accept the paralysis of despair i either under burdens of per-! sonal affliction or at a purely i fanciful age dead-line of use ful endeavor. The city councilmen and mayor are absolutely right about their speeding instruc-J tions. It is not at all necessary for autoists, young or old, men or women, to rush through the streets at lightning speed and run over somebody once or twice a week. Speeding should be stopped no matter by whom it is done. If a few speeders would be heavily fin ed or put in jail there would be fewer victims in the hospital and the cemetery. ---e - The Chautauqua will thrive best if its local organization is big enough to include all ele ments of the community. It will not do well as a one man affair j or if managed by any particu- j lar group, ah tne people are asked to patronize the meet ings; they should have part in the management. e)eaa v e . , .. ii me council can secure that block by the Catholic church at a fair price it should be purchased; the time will come wnen people, young ana old will praise them fof their foresight. The Round-up occurs this year Sept. 23, 24 and 25. Keep the dates in mind. FROM THE PEOPLE WANTS THE TIUTH TOLD. Milton. .Oregon, July 8, 1915. As a farmer, I wish to thank you for the articles In your paper In re gard to the prospects for harvest. I believe you have stated the truth about the damage done our crops, and I believe It la the first time I have ever seen the truth stated In a news paper of Oregon about Oregon crops In adverse circumstances. The fault la not with our newspa pers but with the farmer himself. Kach of us desires to be thought a better farmer, a better manager than our neighbors. Even when our grain Is in the sack, and the yield per acre Is reduced to a mathematical certain ty, we will not tell the truth about It. and our report Is taken by the news papers and the government. Every year a fictitious surplus is created In government reports, which materially reduces the price of our gain, the profit of which Is reaped later by the speculator. Yours respectfully. A. R.

Julv 9 "1 want my girl back my wife wants j cer gin oaca. come wnat may, we want our girl back. What she may have dons ,or be doing, mutters not we want our girl back." In this brief statement E. J. Conrad pours out all the anxious love ot par ent for offspring that mortal mas possesses, and if Nellie Conrad reads these lines, she will hurry to her father and mother who wait with open arms, blind to any deeds of In discretion that may have been com mitted by her. But It Is not so cer tain that Nellie can come back even thoueh she would. As time goes on and the Summervllle girl does not ap pear, and no trace is found of her since her mysterious disappearance Friday night, there la new and more conclusive evidence that foul play may have been her fate. Necessarily, there is much that cannot be publish ed but strange things have happened In La Grande since the girl left, and the distracted father, who sleeps not, neither does he rest while the search goes on, Is convinced that the com monly accepted theory Is wrong. Foul play Is still his theory. Last night the futher and brother , had a clew given them by the officers on the strength of a report started) Inst evening. As doy was dawning. In the east this' morning, father, brother and Deputy Sherirf Williamson went to a certain point within the city's limits, confidently expecting to find the missing girl the clew was a false one. Another sting was added to the week of sorrow and anxiety the Con rad family Is suffering.

Tears Fml Peace- Plea. SAN FRANCISCO, July 7. Madam La Comtesse Dumas, from Paris, broke Into a fit of tears In a peace talk to the Internalonal Conference of Women Workers to Promote Per manent Peace. She was forced to take her seat In her grief. "All that I hold dear Is In the trenches fighting for France." began Comtesse Dumas. Her voice broke as she added, "and some I loved are dead." She sobbed audibly and hanker- chiefs fluttered among the spectators. Comtesse Dumas' husband, a grand son of Alexandre Dumas, is a French officer at the front.
