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.

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.

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. SHL'MWAT.

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.

circulated such wanton, false and ma

"All that I hold dear Is In the
