Gov. Montague appeared at Bedford
on last Monday, the first appearance

reception. Bedford is one ofhis strong

Senator Martin, Judges Mann and
Williams were at Houston during the
day of Monday and AT South Boston
at night. Judge Williams said he
was running for Office because she
wanted the place" That's honest to
the last degree. Senator Martin met

Elements IN Oregon located on
what is now the forbidding sage
brush and sand desert of the hills
northwest of Pendleton.
With sufficient water to reclaim
hat section of Umatilla county, It
will produce everything grown In the
temperate and semi-tropic climate.
Small farms, highly cultivated. well
improved interlaced with excellent
country roads, with one broad high
way leading from the county seat into
he heart of the settlement, will go
to make up the future paradise OF
Umatilla county.
There is inspiration and fascina-
ton in this subject OF reclamation.
Just wave fthe hand of the magi-
clans of irrigation, and 10! the verdi
ant field springs up In the heart of
the desert. Idle wastes take on the
living colors of life and promise, and
homes are founded where once the
wilderness was forbidding and awe
inspiring.
Think of the poultry. hogs, dairy
COWS, bees, blooded horses and sheep
that can and will be supported upon
the small farms in that new settle
ment. Think of the school houses
that will be necessary, the elegant
homes that will be built. the boule-
wards, level highways, shaded lanes
and Incompatible gardens and or
chards that will surely follow the
reclamation of the western portion of
Umatilla county. 1t is an inspiring
picture and 1t is a picture that will
be witnessed by the present genera
ton now living here. because water
works a swift evolution In the desert.
And after having dreamed this
dream and outlined these beauteous
etchings upon the canvas of the fu-
ture. is not the resident of Umatilla
county and of Pendleton inspirited
with greater hope and stimulated
with quickened pulse beats?

THE BLOODLESS SENATE.

Engaged in it's selfish and secret
1srruptions. the bloodless United
States senate will not take time to
honor the memory of Senator John
n. MITCHELL although he served with
mat body for almost a quarter of a
eentury and was one of the most ac-
tive and aggressive members during
IN of his long career.
But because misfortune came to
Ihe old man at the last, and a cloud
shadowed his official life, this aristo-
cratic, Pharisaical coterie of blood
sess politicians and plutocrats, refuses
To honor his memory, and will take
notice of his death, which is nation
N sorrow, in only a coldly perfunctory
mAnner.
Mitchell was a saint compared to
dozens of rascals now serving in the
Omitted States senate. He died a poor
man, although he had opportunities
for making money in all kinds of
alegitlmate ways which were thrust
upon him. Others who now scorn to
Nnke official notice of his death are
: rich beyond computation, through the
Enost fragrant, bloodless and corrupt
methods of legal robbery, which they,
rs officials and servants Of the peo-
pIe have planned with skillful dis
honesty and duplicity.
Living Mitchell was the peer of any
Of them. He was a power which they
respected and an equal to whom they
paid their fawning courtesies; but
dead. he is officially snubbed by the
cyclists, many OF whom are un-
worthy to tie his shoe lace.
There is nothing human in the
United States senate. 1t is drifting
farther and farther away from the
common people and the practices of
common life. Before the masses
know It they will be supporting one
OF the most reserved and autocratic
body Of millionaire favorites ever to
esngregate in the councils of any ma
Esn-
Money and social forms are its rul-
sng deitIes IT refuses to bend from
Ets coldly selfish demeanor to observe
even one Of the commonest decencies
in life. Mitchell does not require
the official recognition of the senate
n complete his life. But it is
snizfortune that some Of those who
sanction this discourtesy to a dead
statesman are not stripped naked be-
fore the people and made to know
That their own lives are not spotless
Az measured by the eternal standards
Il human behavior.

LET US FORGET.

Once reigned o'er happy realms of

MORALS IN PANAMA.

The San Francisco Argonaut min
giles a world of truth in the following
bitter sarcasm on American morals.
Speaking of morals In Panama the
Argonaut says:
Morals in Panama"-start not,
gentle reader; the foregoing phrase
is not a jake. 1t is. on the contrary.
an episcopal phrase. uttered in all
serious by Methodist bishop talking
to serious assemblage of Methodist
preachers.
Bishop Nealy. in his address, re-
ferred to the newspaper reports that
women are being imported into the
Panama canal zone for immoral pur-
poses" Concerning this, the bishop
said: II doubt this report 1t seems
hardly likely, and until President
Roosevelt investigates. as I feel sure
he ought to do, and as l feel quite
sure he will do. let us assume the re-
port is false"
We would like to join the good
bishop in his belief that this report is
false, but we very much doubt its
falsity. That this matter should be
passed up to the president is not pc
culiar, as everything nowadays is
passed up to him, from race suicide
to football.
But strenuous as our president is
earnest as he is for work, fond as he
is of fighting, we do not believe that
he will enter on fight which in
wolves crushing out the oldest calling
in the world.
If the bishop will bethink himself
he will remember what happened tc
Jacob when he saw a strange woman
seated by the roadside. This hap
pened 1000 years ago. 1t has beer
happening ever since. 1t happens
now in the moral United States. II
will happen in the canal zone. Oul
fortnight president may introduce
law and order there, but even for hin
it will be an impossible task to sup.

CoLoRADo.s HEART OF GOLD.

A pleasing incident in the strenu-

was the presentation. yesterday, OF
Colorado's peace medal to President
Roosevelt This medal was given by
the men. women and children Of Col

and admiration for the man whose
work brought about peace between
Russia and Japan. The contributions
we're in small amounts and. therefore,
represented. to an unusual degree, the

President Roosevelt expressed him

Love and History.

Love and History.
Roses shed their petals
Countless Junes ago.
And those dead Decembers,
Brought their snow
Weary eyes were covered
With their patient lids
BY the yet unbuilded
Pyramids.
Life and Death like sweethearts.
Wandering hand in hand,
Then, as now, stole over
Sea and land.
Lovers kissed and parted.
Eyes We're moist and blue,
In the Midian meadows
Moses knew.
Cheeks were wet with weeping,
Brows were hot with fire,
Ere the hand of Homer
Swept the Tyre.
And this masque of midnight,
And the moons white face,
Look on Nile and Jordan,
Thebes and Thrace.

Don't Borrow Your Neighbor's Paper.

A certain man who was too econom-
zeal to subscribe for his home paper
sent his little boy to borrow the copy
taken by his neighbor. In his haste
the boy ran over n "a. 90 stand of bees
and in ten minutes looked like n
warty summer squash. His cries
reached his father, who ran to his
assistance, and failing to notice n
barb wire fence ran into it. breaking
it down, cutting handful of flesh
from his anatomy and running $500
pair of pants. The old cow took adj
vantage of the gap in the fence and
got into the corntield and killed her
self eating green corn. Hearing the
racket, the wife ran. upsetting four
gallon churn of rich cream into has
ket of kittens, drowning the whole
flock. In her hurry she dropped and
broke a $25. 90 set of false teeth. The
baby, left alone, crawled through the
spilled cream and into the parlor
running a $50. 90 carpet. During this
excitement the oldest girl ran away
with the hired man, the dog broke up
eleven setting hens, and the calf got
ont and chewed the tails of of four
fine shirts.
