Illinois Central was pushed up two

Missouri Pacific turned heavy on realiz-

strength in New Jersey Central on re-

striking evidence OF the confirmed dull

When the wheat market started the

the consideration of more rain In the

the Powder river mountains, Just east
OF the Grand Rondo river, In Wallowa

A few years ago. about fifty families
{ of West Virginia mountaineers. tired Of
struggling for n livelihood on the pow
erty-strlcken hills of their native state,
began to look about for place where
they could better their condition. By
some means their attention was direct
ed to eastern Oregon. and. rising like
Hook of migratory birds, they flew west
and settled down on these fertile hills.
The head OF each family took up 1GO
acres OF land, under the homestead law,
and ut once began 10 clear away the

We're the settlers with their new loca-

Land, and the settlement is known BY
that name over all that part of the

Clearing away and dIsposlng of the
heavy timber was no easy task. Great
trees, many OF them more than 100 feet
high. and from two to three feet in d.
ameter. were cut down, sawed into
lengths that could be moved rolled to-
gether and burned, Just to get rid of
them. 1t seemed like wanton destruc-
ton to burn these magnificent trees:
but there was no other way, and the
monarchs OF the forest had to CO. The
newcomers cut logs and built for them

FAkfrs and Suckers.

I
| There are only two great classes in tho
world | say,
Fakirs and suckers.
The suckers do the labor and the fakirs
draw the pay;
The suckers do the voting and the
fakirs hold the sway.
The suckers raise the crops, but the fax
irs fix the price;
The fakirs hold the market and get the
biggest slice.
The fakirs take the harvest, the suckers
hold the bag;
The fakirs dress III blpadcloth. the such.
ers chew the rag.
The suckers feed the cows and the fak-
irs get the milk;
Le suckers feed the silk worms and the
fakirs get the silk.
The suckers build the mansions the
fakirs occupy;
The suckers are the bakers, but tho
fakirs eat The pie.
The suckers make the fabrics, but the
fakirs own the mills;
The fakirs have the pleasures while the
suckers foot the bills.
The fakirs have the feasts, while the
suckers get the crusts;
The sucker pays the prices, while the
fakir runs the trusts.
= ne suckers are the workers,
The fakirs are the shirkers,
The fakirs are the wealth takers.
And this is why | say
There are on earth today
Just the classes
And the masses.
And the masses are the prey.
Just the ones who do the toll
And the ones who get the spoil,
And the spoilers do the toilers in thu
same old way.
