SATFHDAY Al’Rll. Il I'M'.!. Shamrock Illi» described a» ■ “wonder." It is probable however that more Englishman than Amer icans are doing the wondering. \l e confess ourselves to feeling some- what confident. Somebody started a story that the clever men of the department of agriculture at Wa-hington had pro pagated a grain known aa "corn wheat." which is as big as corn and a» good as wheat, and now the de partment. being overwhelmed with request» for stwd, is busily explain ing that there ia no such thing as corn wheal and that it is not at all likely that such a hybrid could ever be produced —BakerCity I'eni- ocral. ______________ In his Milwaukee speech the President defin'd the policy of the Republican party as one to regulate not destroy trusts, and tnat the existing legislation is all that is practicable at the present time. Control of trusts bv means of the tariff a futile remedy. It pay. any business man to ad vertise. in season and out of season. Keeping everlastingly at it is the secret of many a man’s success, while a half-hearted sluggish neighbor with equally favorable opportunities, falls bv the wayside. “Keek a movin’ " should be the slogan of every businees man, and While the editorial »Cnbe of the in no way ¡is this more important Commoner is following in mind than m maintaining a rapid, and with quill the various mean fire choke-bore system of advertis-1 dering* of Mr. Roosevelt on 'his I ing.—Ex.______________ western trip he may be reminded The man whose occupation, or of certain rear platform sja-eches trade or business is the best in the of his own in the campaign of 1SU6 land, whose town ia the best in the and think. ‘‘Alas, what might have | county, whose state is the beet in been!” the union, whose nation is the best President Roosevelt believes in a stroug American Naw also that in matters international we should present the dignity becoming a great nation. “Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far," was bis trite quotation at Chicago the other night, when referring to our naval policy and the Monroe doctrine. Special agents of the United States Land Office and the Interior I tvpartment have discovered evi* dence of extensive frauds in the disposition of publ'c lands in this state, and steps have been taken towards prosecuting the offenders Several United States Commission ers will be among those prosecuted fur frauds as a result of four months’ investigation by special officers. Dewey’s remarks comparing the American and the German navies to the detriment of the latter, created considerable ill feeling among the Germans, both in Ger many and in this country. Su ce that occurrence, however, ten large Dutch green bay trees have been purchased for the White House ornamentation, and this is believed to have made the score a standoff, says a Washington correspondent. in the world, is a good citizen, let him be a millionaire, a mechanic, a teacher or a day laborer. He will do his trading at home, even , if he does have to pay a little more He will take the home paper, even if it is a little smaller than some of the metropolitan weekly papers Then as a reward he will have the hlghi-et regard of his neighbors , and will be forever prosperous. The press dispatches announcing preparations for a tremendous land ru»h in June next when a million acres in Southern California are to thrown open to entry, indicate that a good many of our people are still looking for homes upon the land Much of this land is desert however and can only be made habitable and productive through irrigation. There ft little question but that the wes'ern lands which the government is preparing to ir rigate under the national irrigation act. will tie taken up by thrifty settlers from the east as fist as the dams can lie built and the water placed upon the lands We never like to say anything to injure a man's business, but this juvenile courting on the streets of our city breeds pneumonia.

What Oregonian tell the story without is needed is for every mother to exaggeration. have a curfew bell of her own, ring it and see that the girls and boys hear it ring —Ex. Many a child has lieen fooled by the story of pot of gold which a tie found just at foot of the rain- ; and has started out to gather riches full of happy dreams. Many a man and woman have ><een de ceived by the tale that there was health to be found out beyond the sunset, and they have started out dreaming of a healthful future, never to be realized. People who have tried change of cli mate in vain for the cure of weak lungs hive Iwen perfectly and permanently cured by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Sl .-iical Discovery. It cures deep-seated coughs, bronchitis, bleeding lungs, ema ciation, and other conditions which, if neglected or unskilfully treated, find a fatal end in consumption. "Last -primt I had a severe attack of pneu monia whi-h left me with a ver. bad cou^h. an 1 also left inv Innes in a very I..V1 condition." writes John M knssell.

Fierce s Gul leu Medical Discovery, which I he li, ve saved my life I cannot express my grati- tilde to you I am able now to do very g'xxl work." Any sulistitute offered as " just as good” as "Golden Medical Discovery” is a shadow of that medicine. There are cures behind every ilaim made for the "Dis-overy," which no "just as good” medicine can show. The People s Common Sense Medical Adviser, a book containing roo8 pages, is given away.

Some ot the Eas’ern papers are expressing alarm and “I told you so»" over the prospects the irriga tion of the western lands by the Government is going to cost more per acre that, was indicated by assessments ami state runts made during the discussion of the irriga tion bill. This is needlei*» fear in view of the fact that the money is all Income buck to the Government. If a certain dam and ditch costs a million dollars anti provides for the irrigation of 1'X).(XX) acre» of land the settlers who take that land ‘ must pay flOan acre to the Gov-j eminent. Neither is there any fear that this money will ever be re mitted by hasty act of Congress. Every western interest would op pose such a measure for under the irrigation law the money when paid back to the Government is to be used over again for building other irrigation work» in other states.
