WHAT UMATILLA OFFERS.

There is a notion prevalent among
the more wealthy class of people in
this county that there is nothing to
offer the homeseeker with small
means in Umatilla county-that un-
less a homeseeker has from $4,000 to
100000 with which to buy large
wheat farm, there is no use to in
vite him to settle here.
The East Oregopian believes this
idea is wholly wrong and that its
prevalence is detrimental to the in
terests of the county.
As a matter of fact, no other local
ity in the west offers as rare oppor-
tunities for small homes as the irri-
gated sections of Echo, Milton, Hud-
son Bay and the western portion of
Umatilla county in new irrigated sec
tions being opened to settlement.
Raw land that can be irrigated can
be bought in many of these localities
for $50 per acre, and within two years
its value will have increased 100 per
cent by the planting of orchards and
alfalfa. This is the history of the
irrigated lands of Umatilla county
Tracts of from 20 to 40 acres will
yield an income greater than the in
come from $50 acres of Iowa corn
land or oklahoma wheat land.
The opportunity for diversified
farming, poultry raising, dairying
fruit raising, hog raising and other
branches of diversified farming i;
more promising in this county, if skill
fully pursued, than in any other Sec
ton of the west, because of the excel
lence of the soil, the abundance OF
water in the irrigated districts ant
the Syrian uniformity of the climate
The Commercial association started
out with well directed idea to issue
la descriptive booklet of Umatilla
county, but the prevalent notion tina
| there is nothing to advertise, nothing
| to offer the small homeseeker, ha!
| delayed that worthy work
While other sections of Oregon ar,
attracting a first-class immigration
by judicious advertising. Umatilli
county is sleeping in her shell, pie
thoric with wealth and content to le
the world wag as it will.

PATRICK GASS.

Patrick Gass, soldier who accom-
panied Lewis and Clark to the Pacific
coast in 1s04-05-06 and wrote and
published an account of his travels in
1907. seven years before Lewis and
Clark's travels were printed, died in
1870. aged 80 years. after having en-
dured untold hardships for about 100
years. the last so years of which as
an habitual drunkard.
His biographer, DR. Cones, says:
Thus ended a life in some respects un-
paralleled. Men have turned their
centenary, but how many have done
so after such sieges of war, whiskey
and women as Gass withstood for
nearly 100 years. 1t may help us to
appreciate the duration of his life, II
we remember that he attained nearly
the average period of human existence
in the eighteenth century, and then
rounded out to the full traditional
three score and ten in the nineteenth

sACAJAWEA's LAST JOURNEY

There is triumph and exultation in
the last journey of Sacajawea, the
Shoshone guide who led Lewis and
Clark across the Rocky mountains 100
years ago this spring.
Yesterday a bronze statue of this
Indian girl, bearing her baby upon
her back, was started from New York
city across the continent to Portland,
to be placed beside the statues of the
explorers in the Lewis and Clark fair
grounds.
AS a splendid recompense for her
toll a century ago, in leading the in
torpid band of explorers into the do
main of the Pacific, this statue in her
memory travelled across the continent
in nearly the same route travelled 100
years ago, by the girl herself, but to-
day the trip is made in four days, a
| transcontinental line of railroad
sweeps through the mountain glades
and follows the trail made by the
moccasined feet of Sacajawea in
1905
Where the explorers made their
camps 100 years ago, the splendid
cities of Dakota, Montana, Idaho and
Oregon now stand.
Where they lodged through the
mountain passes to escape from the
treacherous Blackfeet. the smiling
valleys of the Bitter Root and Clear
water now support thousands of hap
py inhabitants.
The wreath of triumph give to her;
She led the cOnquering captains
west;
She charted first the trails that led
The hosts across yon mountain
crestl
Barefoot, she toiled in forest paths
Where now the course of Empire
speeds-
Can you forget, loved Western land
The glory of her deathless deeds

SEIZED HIS ONLY CHANCE.
Long-Suffering Husband Of Woman's g
Rights Lecturer Rises to
the Occasion.

"Is there a man in all this audi
ence," demanded the female lecturer
on woman's rights, that has ever
done anything to tighten the burden
on his wifes shoulders? What do
you know of woman's work? Is there
a man here" she continued, folding
her arms and looking over the assem-
ly with superb scorn, that has ever
got up in the morning, leaving his
tired, worn out wife to enjoy her
slumbers, gone quietly downstairs,
made the fire, cooked his own break
fast sewed the missing buttons on the
children's clothes, darned the family
stockings, secured the pots and ket-
ties, cleaned and filed the lamps, and
done all this, If necessary, day after
day, uncomplainingly? If there be
such a man in this audience let him
rise up! should really like to see
him."
And in the rear Of the hall, relates
the Novel Magazine, mild looking
man in spectacles. in obedience to the
summons, timidly arose. He was the
husband of the eloquent speaker. 1t
was the first time he had ever had a
chance to assert himself

Origin of Lloyd's.

Two centuries ago man who had q
cargo to send to the Mediterranean con-
triver to get rid Of some Of the risk
by inducing friend to take an inter-
est with him. 1t was necessary to
write out a statement of contract to
which the guarantors subscribed; this
was the first underwriting. These two
men happened to be freluenters of
Lloyd's coffee house in London, which
was a favorite place for the merchants
Of the town to gather to discuss busi-
ness or to gossip. Others Immediately
saw the advantage of the scheme which
their colleagues had devised and on the
next voyage the risk was parceled out
among a larger number of the patrons
of the coffee house. Out of this small
beginning has grown the great Euro
pean maritime agency, still bearing the
name of the humble coffee house pro-
prietor, and which not only writes
risks on vessels, but rates them and
publishes their arrivals at every port
the world over, no matter how small
or how remotely situated.--Mexicau

mot ALUM, BUT AlImoNv"
Woman Reporter Puts It All Over
Smart Young Man Who Tries
to Be Funny.

The new reporter was q woman, and
the first who had appeared in the city
room Of that paper within the memory
of the oldest reporter, relates the New
York Tribune. She was a smart look
ing person of about 30, who wore neat.
severe. well.fitting clothes. mannish
boots and gloves, and walked with a
swing that made one invariably look
up when she passed.
She sat at the next desk to Rice, q
bright. cheeky young fellow from up
state, who had been on the paper for a
year, and so felt a right to consider a
woman's entrance into the Office an
intrusion. Nobody paid much atten-
ton to her for some days. until she
was sent to Rice by the city editor to
get some information.
The other reporters sat round and
watched Rice explaining things to her.
She took 1t in rapidly with an airy
nonchalance which nettled that young
man. When she had assimilated all
the information she thanked him with
profound bow and flashed diamond
solitaire in his face in most impu-
dent way.
Rice accepted her challenge at once
and. touching the ring with his finger,
he straightway raised 1t to, his lips
with show of tasting it, and made the
terse remark:
"Alum!"
mo. young mar" replied the young
woman. sternly. but with twinkle In
her eye: Not alum; alimony!"
From that day the city room ac-
cepted her at par value.

ANTS BORE THROUGH ROCK
Cable Laid in Concrete Trough Suf-
fers from Depredations Of
White Species.

The engineers in charge of tele-
graph line at Hong Kong were sur
prisei recently by the discovery that
about seven miles of their cable,
though II was well protected and laid
underground in a concrete trough,
had been severely damaged. For the
greater part of the length oval holes
had been bored right through the cas-
ing down to the copper wire itself
1t was agreed, says the London Spec
tator, that insects must have been the
author of the mischief though what
kind of insects was not obvious. 1t
might be possible to find one which
enjoys perforating lead. But these in
sects seemed to have drilled the holes,
not in order to make a passage, but by
way of making a meal! They had
taken a dinner of six courses, consist
ing first Of tarred rope, then of lead,
then of twisted rope, then of tape, then
Of hemp fiber, and lastly of india rub
ber. The copper strand had been too
much for them. 7-.
Portions Of the damaged cable were
sent to the Natural History museum
with hope that some opinion might
be given, and the oracle replied that
there could be very little doubt that
the damage was caused by white ants.
Specimens Of their peculiar forms of
appetite and industry are kept in the
museum, which show not only that
they will eat lead, but will also bore
through hard sandstone rock.

How They Break the EGG.

Birds while still in the egg have .
sharp, horny spike attached to the
upper part of the beak, by means of
which they are assisted in breaking
out of the shell. This prominence be-
comes opposed to the shell at various
points in line extending all around
the egg at about one-third of the eggs
length from the large end. It makes a
series of little holes, thus weakening
the shell, and when the chick arrives
at certain stage of strength and de-
velopment it has no difficulty in break
ing out In the common fowl this lit
le weapon drops of day or two after
1t is hatched, but on the pigeon and
birds that are fed by their parents 1t
sometimes remains for two weeks.

Fort Wayne, Ind.-There is soon to
begin in the superior court here the
suit Of James Sutton against the

another line.
This imposed another cost Of SIC
