In a land that is founded upon the
fruits of civilization and order. it is
disheartening to men who work for
the good of society to see their work
sneered down, ridiculed and belittled
by a large class of seemingly good
citizens who are willing to consort
with any form Of vice or disorder
which promises them dollar in re-
turn. We prate about the sterling
manhood of America, the fearlessness
of American citizens and all that,
while at the same time there are
comparatively few proud Americans
in any community who will place
principle and civic righteousness
above money, and the few who do
this are ostracised, boycotted and ridi-
culed.

BAD BUTTER.

United States Consul Hamm sends
from HUH, England, the sapient
thought that perhaps one reason why
we sell less butter than formerly in
Great Britain is that the butter is not
good,
The British governments annual
analyses show that out of SO samples
of American butter "a contained boric
acid and AZ contained coloring mat
ter, The German, New Zealand Aus
tralian, French and Belgian samples
were even worse. Canada's showing
was slightly better while Denmark
Sweden, Norway and even Russia
made far better test Here is an
instructive contrast:
Boric Coloring
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-08-23

In Denmark the purity of exported
foods has been made u matter of
government supervision; the coloring
matter used in so many of the sam
pies is harmless. The people have
profted by 1t; Denmarks foreign
trade has grown greatly.
Americans at home get no better
butter than we export. Five times
out of six it may contain boric acid
for all we know--when 1t is butter
at all. And congress, in the interest
of a few wealthy adulterators upon
a gigantic scale, refuses to pass q pure
food law.-New York World.

Less interest is taken in the Nation
al Irrigation congress this year than

Whether this lack Of interest is due
to the fact that the object of the as

the government irrigation projects and
the enthusiasts are resting on their
oars. or whether the people have had
a falling off of zeal in the association
as a ditch builder, owing to the enor-
nous amount of red tape that must be
observed by the reclamation depart
ment before reaching results. is not
now to be discerned.

As a hostess Portland is shining

are pulled off at the exposition she
meets them gracefully and with be-
coming genius. So far not a state has
complained Of being sighted or
snubbed; not city nor county that

lust as much attention as though each
was a separate kingdom of itself

are celebrated each day, without a

THE SWELLING TOAD"

The wonder of the genus batrachia
and the greatest natural history oddly
to be found along the Atlantic coast
of the United States is the swelling
toad, semi-aquatic creature known
to naturallsts as bufomachalatus. 1t
is occasionally met with from New
York city to Jacksonville, Fla, but Is
most common along the coasts of Vir-
ginia, Maryland and North Carolina.
When in its natural state the Swell
toad" is about the size of large bull
frog, but looks more like a fish than
1t does like either frog or a toad. 1t
is about six inches in length and has
the curious faculty Of being able to
swell to the size of football, in which
state its legs, tail and head are scarce
ly visible.
Irritation appears to be the chief
factor in causing these curious crea-
lures to inhale air until they swell
almost to bursting. The bellies Of
both the males and females are nearly
pure white and are covered with
spines which give that portion Of their
anatomy the appearance of well
ripeneds jimson burr. Persons who
understand the swell toad" and know
what an irritable little rascal 1t is
catch 1t and rub the splnes on its belly
when it swells up until 1t is utterly
helpless. Another curious point about
