The public is becoming nauseated w ith the case of the New York bank er who brought su it for divorce again st his w ife, claim ing that an oth er man is the father of her baby boy.

There, too, a child is to be found. Before h is attem pt to besmirch his' w ife in order to secure his freedom he w as a man of com m anding posi tion in the financial world. Now he is no longer at the head of his bunk, is looked upon with suspicion by the public, and Is said to be contem plat ing a residence abroad.

E. Leonard has secured leases on ap proxim ately 2200 acres of land ly in g between Echo and Herm iston and east and north of S tanfield. Mr. Leonard's idea is to drill for oil, be liev in g he has a good chance to se cure the product in paying q u an ti ties. He is not sellin g stock he is Belling som ething better, he is sellin g an interest in h is leases. The sm allest interest for sale is worth 1100, pay able in four equal in stallm en ts If de sired. He w ishes to dispose of *30,- 000 worth of his leases w hich he estim ates are worth *100,000. W hen the *30,000 has been raised drilling operations w ill commence. Mr. Leonard has secured an experienced oil well driller who w ill take an In terest with him in the leases, and the *30,000 w ill only be spent for d rill ing operations. The driller already ow ns an outjjt, and th is item alone would cost more to equip and in stall than the am ount asked for d rilling operations, so Mr. Leonard’s propo sition looks doubly good. Every one who Invests in the leas es, should do so w ith the in ten t of helping further developm ent of this section, and should not look for a I fortune out of the investm ent. They a should take a good gam blers chanct that he Is spending w isely a hundred 3 dollars to know w hether or not th en Is oil in the country. W hen this i: settled, we can either go on in the even tenor of our w ays, or be rough ly aroused w ith thousands of peoph R. A .

In the former case, (if there a a is no oil) we w ill at least have It a ¡BIBIIiaiBIBVaBIBaBBIIIflaflflBBfliaaiBBBBtl out of our system s and w on’t _ bi bothered any more. In the latlei case, (if oil is discovered) we w on’t be able to accomodate the rush ol settlers and investors who w ill flock here by the thousands. What wii happen to us, if oil Is discovered, wi can ’t begin to im agine. We only know what has happened to othei sections where the wonderful fluid leaked through the ground, and wi know the same w ill happen here when the new s is spread all over the world that oil has been discovered near Herm iston. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ a H E R A L D W e all have our lim itations, but few of us realize when we have reach ed them. The average American is a pecular individual. An obstacle may seem m ountain high to him, but he has an inherent objection to acknow l- td g ln g that It Is insurm ountable. The apparently Impossible only w hets his determ ination to conquer. Perhaps II Is just as w ell that lim i tation s do not bother us. We are not afflicted w ith doubts and uncer ta in ties and vacillation that retard the progress of some countries. We acrompll.ih our task» w hile many peo ples are debating Ihelr possibility. It is an American trait, and a good one. WORTH A TRIAL W hen the even in g meal is over and you indulge In your hour or tw o o f reflection, la your business upper most in your mind? It shouldn't be. It but adds to the general m ent a l fatigue w hich already 'w eigh ts you down. Poesibly you haTe a home, a law n, a back yard, and a garden. T hink ing and planning for their im prove ment w ll| afford your tired brain the change and relaxation it re quires. T hat hour of reflection each day w ill produce wonderful resu lts If employed in the proper manner, whereas continued concentration up on Affairs of business w ill blunt your intellect and weaken your powers of perception. Grass w ill not grow w ithout w ater to nurse it along, and neither w ill the brain continue to function with out the rest that is necessary to re plenish its exhausted vitality. There are shadows in the lives of all people, but the sunshine of a sm ile w ill break through the dark est of them all. COUNTRY NEWSPAPER COMMUNITY ASSET Prom the Christian Science Monitor The office of the country new spa per iB unlike any other Institution in the length and breadth of the land, and the editor of the country new s paper, speaking generally, iB equally peculiar. His sanctum , u n in vitin g and u nat tractive, seem s to draw w ith in its door, at som etim e during the year, »n one errand or another, the town merchant, the school teacher, the ■linister, the farmer, and nearly eve- y visitor to the town who desires to iiscuss affairs of projects in which the public may be interested. Circum stances, in w hich tradition nay have played an im portant part, items popularly to have invested the ditor w ith the lig h t to speak author- tatively and conclusive concerning natters w hich may concern him far .ess deeply than those who consult aim may suppose. Of course, th is constant associa tion w ith the public in w hich he can lot, if he would, avoid gain in g an ntim ate in sigh t into com m unity af- airs, makes it possible for the ed i tor to appraise individual and public tuestions from a stan p oin t impos- .ible to another in the comm unity. In his years of quiet listen in g he 'has heard much, and in the store house of his memory, perhaps as he listen s today to Someone's view s or conclusions on some recurring prob lem in local affairs, he reconstructs, . ilen lly, from the m aterials of the past a m ental picture affording him a clear perspective in w hich to view the naw situ ation . T his picture is not made up from details gleaned from the yellow flies of the w eekly stowed aw ay In closets and under the stairw ay. If It were, any lnqusitive Investigator w ith time and patience, could gain the know l edge for him self. But the editor has not printed in the pages of h is paper all he has learned. The pages may serve os an Index, a reminder of dates and sequenees, but they do not tell the story fu lly, as the editor knows it. * 1 ' Many of the visitors who drop in, year after year, or occasionally to “see the editor,” know s som ething of th is hidden storehouse. They re member possibly when he th ou gh t fully w ith h eld from h is colum ns some fact w hich would have been of no b enefit to the public, and would have caused som eone a heart ache, or worse. And they know that this kindness was unsolicited, and possible unexpected from one -o gru ff and plain spoken as the ed i tor. Is it strange that he has many friends? The code of eth ics w hich he seem s to have prescribed for him self, and h is name is legion, has apparently designated as "privileged com m uni cation ” much that a careless public supposes is retailed in the form of news. W hen som etim es, wonder is expressed because enough new s is found to ’’f ill” a paper, the fact Is perhaps overlooked that Viore news ts left out than Is used. The autobiography of an editor, like that of a diplom at, would be In terestin g largely because it would set down for the first time, some of those th in gs concern in g which the public has supposed the w hole story has been told. But the world w ill probably have to w ait, and perhaps unrewarded, for such an autobiography to ' be w ritten. Editors seldom reform, the code is rarely m odified in the slig h test degree. The sanctum door is open, and alw ays there are those who come eith er to renew old ac q uaintance or to form a new one. I»ay by day. or week by week the printed pages go out. adding chap ter after chapter to the record which the world reads, maybe w ith no In dication th at there are chapters w hich no one w ill ever read. T hat, perhaps. Is why the editor has so m any w ho come to "see" him. H erb ert Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, aaya: •'I have no information that leads me to believe there will be any reduction of coal rates this season.” Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah, aaya: "I have taken up the question with the Interstate Commerce Commission and they informed me that they do not anticipate any reductidh in coal rates in the immediate future.” E. Morris, Chairm an of the Central Freight Ass’n,*ays: “ Under existing conditions, no general reduction in the freight rates can be justified or made effective. ” I The above statements from men who know should dispel the expectation that the present level of freight rates on coal will be lowered this season. Any fu rth -, er delay in buying on this account, therefore, can mean nothing but trouble. The coal mines cannot produce and the railroad cannot transport a year’s coal requirements in four or five montns. What is sought by coal operators, railroads and dealers, and what is for public welfare is a normal demand and movement ot coal—Not a delay till winter and then an overwhelming, rush.
