HE HERMISTON HERALD, HERMISTON, HERMISTON THE OREGON." HERALD Published every Friday at Hermiston, Umatilla County, Oregon, in the heart of Eastern Oregon's great irrigated alfalla fields, by the Herald Publishing Company. LAST Warning! Entered as second-class matter, December ». 1906, at the postoffice at Hermiston, Oregon Nothing is difficult; it in only we who are indolent.—Hayden Or wish you had next Winter Maybe you don't notice it as much as a stranger would, but the weeds that are growing up along the side- walks on Main street and on other streets in our otherwise good looking city, are a sight to behold. The stranger takes one good look, and remarks, “For the love of Mike, are these people going to seed?" We are going to have a good lock- ing city, and it’s your duty as good citizens to see that Main street looks clean and respectable. Nothing makes a better impression on a stranger when he first comes into a city, than to see good clean streets. Streets that are clear of weeds. When one sees a lot of weeds grow- ing promiscuously, it makes one think that the people are shiftless and of the “don’t care” variety. We all know that the citizens of Hermiston do not belong to that variety, but the stranger does not know this. The only way we can | make him understand is to show him. Consequently, the weeds should come down. . Now all together, get a hoe, shovel and rake, and make a fine big bon fire of these pests before Field Day.

Following is the article: After 30 years, the scenes along the levee are beginning to resemble when the Mississippi river was a great artery of I passenger and freight commerce. Regular steam ship service between Cincinnai and New Orleans, via Memphis, will be started next month. Drastic freight rate increases have forced a return to the river. Proposed freight advance means $1.25 additional cost. This ad vance liable to come before September. LEARNING FROM THE LOWLY Telephone or Call The wiser men are, the more hum bly will they submit to learn from others; they do not disdain the sim plicity of those who teach them; they are willing to lower themselves to the level of husbandmen, of poor women, of children. Many things are known to the simple and un learned which escape the notice of the wise . . . Let no man therefore boast of his wisdom, or look down upon the lowly, who have knowledge of many secret things which God has not shown to those renowned for wisdom.—Roger Bacon.

Irrigation Man Obtained RIVER TRANSPORTATION Tum-Á-Lum Lumber The following article was clipped from the Portland News, and has a great deal of food for thought to our own country. The Columbia river is navigable from the coast to Lew iston, Idaho. In the early days there used to be a warehouse in Umatilla which was a distributing point for all of Eastern Oregon. The new freight rates will surely bring back river transportation and a distrib uting point will be located at Uma tilla, where all freight consigned to points east of Umatilla will be trans ported to that point on the river and on train from there to Its destina tion.
