1t is cruelty hinted that the death
blow to be struck the portage road
bill this winter is to come from East
ern Oregon. II is openly declared
that an effort will be made to repeal
the bill, notwithstanding the fact that
the right of way is purchased and the
contract let. 1t is hardly believable
that such covert perfidy as this is pos
sible. 1t is beyond comprehension
that man representing this section
of the state-the only section to be
directly benefited by the portage road,
could have the brazen rascality to sell
out his country to the railroads or
other interests working against the
portage road. How would such man
be received by his outraged constit-
uency. on his return from Salem? on
what grounds could an Eastern Ore
gon citizen justify such treachery? 1t
is hoped that the suggestion is a
wicked, unfounded rumor.

1t WOULD be poor business policy to
discharge the street commissioner
now, at the very time when street
work is needed and when skillful and
constant attention is necessary to
keep the streets and sidewalks from
becoming badly run down for spring.
It is not always economy to tempor-
.arily cut down expenses.

In today's East Oregonian is a
brief note announcing the sale of
$1,000 worth of wheat. or only a part
of one years crop by one man in Ad-
ans county Washington. There is
an enchanting story in such a trans
action, and yet it is so common to
Eastern Oregon that it will be passed
by unnoticed. Nowhere else in the
world have such fortunes been made
in such brief periods as in this Won
derful empire included in circle 100
miles in diameter with Pendleton as
the center. In Umatilla. walla walla
and Adams counties are men now
worth from $4,000 to $4,000 each,
in farming lands, crops and money.
who 10 years ago were either strug-
Cling poor renters or poorer farm
hands. The story seems unbelievable
to one not familiar with the facts, yet
it is true. Nowhere else in the world
does opportunity offer such entranc-
ing returns for labor, grit. persistence
and horse sense, as in the Inland EN-
pire. Individual instances of quick
fortunes from wheat raising would
read like fairy tales, yet they can be
told by the dozens in Umatilla county.

The state experimental farm at
Union is all right. 1t is useful state
institution. The East Oregonian in
,dorses the spirit and ideal that
prompted its establishment. Agri-,
cultural science and experiment are
necessary. The state should promote
them and foster them and teach them.
But then. there's limit. The state
farm at Union does not possibly need
100000 from the coming Legislature.
1t comprises $40 acres of the best
land in Oregon. almost every foot of
which is in cultivation. A $1,000 barn
has just been constructed on the farm.
About 500 tons of hay is harvested
annually, besides an enormous amount
of other profitable crops. Now let
the farm produce something. Under
proper management it should yield a
handsome income to the state. Let
it make good. Give to Eastern Ore
gon schools the amount asked for the
farm. The Weston Normal is strug-
Cling state institution, meeting the ed
ucational demands of over half the
area of the state. Put it on its feet.
Place 1t beyond the starvation stage.
