ORE.. MARCH 6 1908 Comparatively few people in the Northwest know that an information bureau devoted exolusively to their in terests is maintained in Log Angeles by Washington and Oregon commercial bodies. This work was undertaken with the central idea of interesting California!! tooristsso that they might return to their Eastern homes by way ot the Paoiflo Northwest, and inci dentally learn of the advantages of this section for summer residence. Literature of the two states is distri buted at a number of the down-town offices, and is eagerly taken by visitors. In the "Beaver State" the Oregon Development League, with its mem bership of seventy-eight commercial bodies, bas co operated most effectively with the Los Angeles Bureau, and organizations of Washington have been equally active. The colonist rates in effect during March and April are con spiouonsly noted iu every publication given out in California or sent out direotly from Northwestern communi ties, and epeoial stress is laid on the 30 fare from the great Middle West to all stations in Washington and Oregon. poultry raising in Morrow county. Up to within the last year or so not enough eggs were produced to supply our looa demand and it was necessary to ship eges from the outside. It is different now. Within the past two weeks Minor & Co. bave shipped out over TOO dozens of eggs, while other firms have been receiving good sized consign ments. Heppner Gazette. POLITICIANS VERSUS PEOPLE. One of the most important move ments evor undertaken by a northern railroad has been inaugurated by R. B. Miller, general freight agent for the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Com--oy. This is a campaign Bgainst the itioe of summer fallowing, now al throughout the Inland Empire, this system half of the wheat i the interior lie idle eaob year, i planned to oorreot this practice and make every aore work every year diversifying crops. Intent on ac complishing this purpose, the trafilo department of the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company will run a special demonstration traiu over its lines in Washington. The Washington Agri cultural College t Pullman is oo op ' eratiog fully in the movement and a number of agricultural experts will make tbe trip and lecture to farmers ou doing away with summer fallowing. Tbe train will start from Pullman, Wash., Maroh 5. The klamath Herald sees prosperity ahoad. It says: It is estimated that tbe candidates in tbe piimary elootiou in Klamath county will spend between 93600 aud $1)000 in their efforts to get tbe nomination. There are already 25 announced candidates aud an average expenditure of $100 is likely a low estimate. It is stated ky those who know that $160 is tbe least ouo can figure on who expects to cover the oouuty. Of course there will be some who will not spend this muoh, but if a strict aooount is kept until nftor tbe primaries, there will be mauy candi dates who will find that their expenses have been far iu exoess of this amouut. If tbe time spent should te figured in, the total cost would be more tbau doubled. Few students realize the growing douiaud ou tbe part of the government for collego trained men in our insular possessions aud iu tbe oaual zone. In all these familiarity with tbe Spanish language is a prerequisite. ' In addi tion, our commercial relations in the South Amerioan Held are becoming in creasingly impoitaut. While German aud Freuch (till remaiu tbe languages of tbe mote advauced soieutiflo text books tbe Spanish is coming to have tbe greatest praotioal value of any for eign languages. Have you registered? Ibis is im portant, not only to your own interests, but also to tbe interests of the county at large. Everyman owes it to himself aud to his ueigbbor to attend to this matter promptly. No man should ue gleot to register and then blame tbe officials for making him trouble when time comes to vote. Tbe officials are merely conforming with tbe require ments of the law while tbe voter is uegleoting to carry out its requirements. Tbe poultry industry is growing lap idly iu tbe vioinity of Heppner. With in the city limits can be fousd dozens of pens of as flue chickens as can be fouud in the Northwest Cliniatio conditions are ceitaiuly favorable for Tbe politicians and would-be bosses know if Statement No 1. is adhered to by the people their power and prestige is gone forever. Hence, tbe frantic efforts to persuade tbe people to iguore Statement No 1. by these intensely in- I terested politicians and bosses. If tbe voter will simply ask "Who are the men wbo are opposing Statement No. 1?" and then search out tbe answer by observation, be will find every euemy to Statement No. 1, without excep tion, a would-be boss and political leader and dictator. It makes no difference whether tbe enemy be great or small whether bis influence ex tends throughout tbe state, county or preoiuct, if you will simmer his ac tivity down to the bottom you will find be is actuated oy selfish impulses. He expects personal gain iu some way with the defeat of Statement No. 1. . . . Our primary law would pledge the legislator to carry out tbe wishes of a majority of tbe people, ratber than tbe wishes of some particular candidate for United States senator. Candidly, do you think that tbe majority of the people should rule, even in the selec tion of United States senator? But, say our Republican friends, a majority of tho people may vote for Governor Chamberlain for United States, and, should a majority of tbe legislature be pledged to tbe people in having subscribed to Statement No. 1, be would be elected by tbe legislature. Well, suppose this event should trans pire? What of it? Would not a wish of tbe majority of the people be carried out? . . . Tbe efforts to discredit Statemeut No. 1 are the last despair ing endeavors of corrupt politicians to regain their lost power. Defeat for these political tricksters and wire pullers at tbe June election means an nihilation. Their success will mean tbe restoration of tbe rotten est politi cal oligaroby that bas ever infested tbe state. Success will make these now dethroned bosses and professional pol iticians more arrogant and dictatorial than ever. They will interpret suocess to mean indorsement of their corrupt methods and govern themselves accord ingly. It will mean tbe driving of decent, honorable men from the public service, to be supplanted by boodlers, bribers and a general reign of corrup tion. If the politicians win out in their assaults on Statement No. 1 tbe efforts of tbe people to regain control of gov ernmental affairs will be a flat failure. The eyes of tbe people of the United States are directed toward the Oregon country. Tbey are watching with in tense interest at tbe "Oregon experi ment." If we are successful in estab lishing this reform in popular govern ment we will have performed a service of lastiug beuefit to tbe Amerioan people. Our success means tbe adop tion of the "Oregon experiment" by other states aud tbe eventual purifica tion of Amerioan politics. Occupying, as we do, the most ad vanced position of all tbe states in the science of popular government, we cannot, must not, allow a gang of dis gruntled, corrupt politicians to defeat our efforts. I he people should ever advauce to higher and better ideals iu popular government, but never take a step backward. Soio News. A POINTED SERMON. Many a young man and woman has lost a due ohauoe to get ahead in tbe world because of some offensive per sonal habit unimportant in itself, but wbicb grated ou the nerves of those with whom tbey came in contact. Such a bad habit to which mauy peo ple are addioted is saying "What?" without the exouse of having defeotive bearing. While suoh "what's" are due oucasioualy to tbe fact that the miud of tbe hearer does not work quioRly euough to grasp tbe meauing of the question asked, the "what" in most instances is the result of a bad habit which grows worse as one grows older. A story told by a business man illus trates this teudouoy. He bos a son, a clever boy, who graduated from the high school last year aud did not desire to go to college, so to teach him busi ness methods and self-reliauoe be was plaoed in a commercial house, tbe bead of wbiob was a friend ot tbe father. The boy worked a mouth, aod at borne expressed himself as perfectly satisfied with bis treatment, his associations and his work. One night, however, he came home aud told bis father that he had been discharged, aud hauded bim a note sigued by the bead of tbe concern, which read: "Dear : I have told James that we do not oare for bis services any longer. Ho is a good, clever and will ing boy, but be bas a well-developed case of 'What.' . When be bas been cured, send bim back to us, because we like bim aud we think he will make good." If you will stop for a tniunte aud consider how may times you say "what" unnecessarily, when you un derstand perfeotly what has been said to you, you must roalize what a great waste of time aud patience this in volves, and bow specially exasperating it is because so unnecseary. If you are tbe father of boys, teach them to be alert and listen to what is said, so they will respond at once. If you are a young can starting out in the world accept this as a fricudly warning; there are plenty of other things that J you also want to guard against, but j one at a time. Granting mat tnis is a trifle, remember that a wise man onoe said that trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle. No Use to Die.
