Application for entrance a 2nd class matter made on July 5, 1907 at the poatofflce at Atbena, Oregon Under an Actot Congress of March 8, 1879 Subscription Rata, t pir year, in advanct 12.00 Single copies In wrappers, 6c, ATHENA. ORE.. MARCH 20 1908 Tbe last legislature of Oregon paused a law reauiriuB the secretaiy of state to send oat printed copies of the initi ative measure before the people to every voter in the state, thus Riving tbe state printer work wbicb justly belongs to tbe newspapers of tbe state. Before tbe legislature passed tbis unreason able measure, says tbe East Oregonian, ' tbe newspapers of tbe state printed tbe initiative and referendum mea snres and tbns tbe measures reached tbe voters in an attractive and read able form. Tbe cost to tbe state was insignifJoaut, compared to tbe ser vice rendered oy tbe newspapers. With over 200 paprs in tbe state of Oregon, every voter in tbe state could be easily reached through tbis medi um, but that the state printer's enor moos income might be farther increas ed, tbe legislature decided that the newspapers of tbe state are no good anyway, and so they were deprived of tbis little mite of state advertising, Tbe work of printing and distributing 100,000 copies of the initiative moos ures before tbe people tbis year will cost tbe taxpayers tbree times as much as though tbe same work was perform ed by the newspapers and tbe publicity through the papers wonld have been lnuoh greater than uuder the present system. Ve think tbe country merchant has tho right idea about bis farmer cus tomers. He knows that be dupeauds upon them for trade and that tbey de pond upon him for goods and a mar ket. Tbis is mutual and tbe feeling between tbe two classes should bo one of friendship and good will. It is mutual dependence, xit mere are those who delight to stir up enmity be tween tbe farmer and country mer chant. Tbey do it from ulterior mo- . . Uvea, but tbe farmer doesn't know it. We "know of no remedy save to get as close to the agriculturist as you can. Talk with him, show him you are in terested in his suooess, and make bim see the true relationship between him self and you. Oregon Tradesman. Tbe awful tragedy, at the Colling wood school near Cleveland, Ohio, which cost tbe lives of 200 school ooiidren, should be a warniog to sobool boards throughout tbe entire country. Every sobool building should be provided with means of esoape in case of fire, and school boards should require teachers to have tbeir pupils practioe fire drills regularly each week Many a life could be saved by such aotiou. Another outrageous attack on tbe vested interests. . In Detroit tbe name of a millionaire merchant bas been scratched from tbe society list, while that of a woman who once was a clerk hi his shop remains. If tbis thing continues transfusion of penurious members of old families to the veins of clammy mushroom millionaires will become a more popular operation than appendicitis. - Dr. Ma bie, editor of the : Outlook suggests that instead of f'ld God We Trust" being inscribed on American coins the motto should be, "With God We Deal." In that case there would have to be a material change in tbe methods of some of Our dealers. The Eighth District Congressional convention in Ohio, oalled to name a oandidate to succeed Congressman Cole, adjourned witbout having made nomination, having taken 1011 ballots. Tbey surely need tbe primary law in Ohio. Tbe drop in the prices of lumber from 13.00 to 110.00 a thousand, ao cording to tbe grades, will help tbe builder this season. There are no re grets along tbis line on tbe consumer's part. All efforts to break up tbe diamond monopoly will be futile until the pretly girls band together and solemnly swear tbey 11 lusist on some other gem iu tbe engagement ring. Harriman has contributed 130,000 to the anti-rat crusade in San Fran cisco. If he's as cood a rat catcher as he is a Fish catcher the rodents might as well give up. The pi eviction is made that tbis ill be a $900,000,000 congress. There's nothing cheap about it, that's sure, except some of tbe members. About tbe time Roosevelt welcomed tbe Mothers' congress he could have bad anything on earth, if women could only vote. Although it is tbe fashion to belittle some of the meu who have filled tbe office ot President, it is well to re member what Congressman John Sharp Williams said iu Vioksburg the other day, nt a reoeption in honor of Presi dent Roosevelt. . Tbe Deuiooratio kad- er remarked that "you oanuot, iu tbe 1.5 . . . nistory oi any country, auoieut or 'uioduru, find a succession of twenty- 11 vo kings, emperors, or even prime miuisters, that equals iu intelligence, culture, courage or character of tho twenty-five Presidents of tbis great republic from Washington to Roose velt." Harry Orohard just bad to plead guilty or else return the publishers' oheok for his Autobiography and Con fessions. If these Kentucky night riders con tinue tbeir operations there will be a dearth of both day and nigbt smokers. No Use to Die.

WHAT FASHION SAYS. m L 1 i A .. t a a a. ino state university snouni be a souroo of pride to every citizen of Oregon. The idea that it is maintain ed to benefit tharioh as against tbe poor is absurd in tbe extreme. Tbe State University is tbe only hope of tbe young mnu of limited moans who de sires a oolloge eduoatiou. It is designed to benefit the poor aud not tbe riob. About twenty per ceut of tbe studeuts I are working for their board. They are gettiug a college education where it would be absolutely impossible if the state did not provide ednoation free. In the oboioe ot color for the spring of 1008, Fashion seoms less ca pacious and more utilitarian than for many a long time," says Grace Mar garet Gould in ber fashion talk in tbe March number of tbe Woman's Home Compauion. "It was blue last fall. and it's to be blue again this spring blue, however, in many fascinating shades, such as oauard blue, which is duck blue, a very lovely, delicate shade. Copenhagen blue continues iu fashionable favor, and navy blue aud royal blue for everydaywear are looked upon as reliable, cood stvle colors. Next to the blues comes the browns. A beaver shade of brown is very fashionable, and eo are tbe russets and a citron shade. Chamois color will be used more than ever, and tbe bread aud biscuit tints. Tau is a good color to choose for a gown from tbe fashion standpoint, and cream is also tbe mode. A few shades of green will be worn, and a few grays on the mole order." In London tbe Oregon Yellow New town Pippin apple takes front rauk in tbe fruit sales. These apples are in tetter demand, tbe price is tbree times as high as tbe Eastern growu product and over twice as high as apples grown any where else in tbe world. Oregon apples are being shipped to Vladivo stok, Russia aud are bringing iu this foreign market 7.50 per box. Tbe new Amerioan flag wit 0 the forty -sixth star representing Okla homa, will soon be out Orders have been ironed that tbe forty-six stars be arranged in six rows. The first, third, fourth and sixth will cousist of eight stars and tbe second and fifth of seven stats.

THe Emerson Alfalfa J Renovator or Harrow The machine shows for itself what it will do to weedv or turf-bound meadows, and when put into the alfalfa field- that has been seeded two years or longer, the effect is marvelous. The teeth of the harrow not only destroy the weeds, but split up the alfalfa stools, thoroughly loosening the soil for a depth of three to six inches. The result is a decided increase in yield from the very start.
