AREN'T YOU REALLY ASHAMED?

For three weeks the farmers have
been screwing their necks skyward
and bewailing the dry weather; they
have predicted all kinds of disaster
to Umatilla county. all because there
has been no rain for three weeks, al
though none of them can remember
complete failure of crops in old
Umatila.
In due time and with unerring GER
tainty, the rain has come and Umatilla
has redeemed herself, as usual. Aren't
you really ashamed of the insinua-
tions that have passed your lips?
Aren't you feeling rather guilty to
have accused such an unfailng friend
of faithlessness when all past rec
ords cried out against your screed?
Remember, once for all, that Una
tilla county never fails. Although,
in the doleful foreboding of many,
two crops are lost every season-one
by freezing in winter and one by
drought in summer, yet she always
rolls up the usual 25 bushels per acre
for the entire wheat area of the coun-
ty. Crop failures" in Umatilla
county have placed over 100000
in bank deposits in the county, be-
side furnishing money for a million
dollars in land transfers every year.

GRAND PRIZES ARE FOR SALE

The charges made against the St.
Louis exposition management, by a
legislative committee from Utah, to
the effect that awards of merit from
the exposition have been sold and
offered for sale, for advertising pur-
poses, is a startling arraignment of
the fair commissioners.
Where money is the sole object of
expositions, it is not surprising, and
the East Oregonian sincerely hopes
that the Lewis and Clark fair is to be
the last of the great public exposi-
tions.
The charges made by Utah will dis
gust every thinking man in the United
States with the mercenary herd of
vampires that must be in control of
the awards of the st. Louis exposi-
ton. That bogus awards are offered
for sale is doubly rotten; first, be-
cause it is disgraceful and humilit-
| ing to the nation to have it said that
public Endorsement has been given tc
such a gang of consummate thieves.
1t is really not surprising, how
ever, when other money making
schemes of the corporations are taker
into account. The fair corporations
are true specimens of other American
trusts. They begin with nothing
build up a great enterprise at public
expense. and come out of the dea
rich. after practicing publicly al
known confidence and flim-flan
games upon the public.

If you have not subscribed to stock
in the county fair association yet, you
have not done your duty. Umatilla
and Morrow counties, two of the best
agricultural and stock counties in the
state, should support the best agri-
cultural fair in the state, outside OF
the state fair. 1t is a wonder this
matter has been delayed so long If
you can encourage the committee in
charge of the orga uization by sub
scribing, do so at once. 1t is for the
benefit of the county at large and
should not be allowed to stop short OF
complete organization. Subscribe to-
day. The stock may be all taken to-
morrow.

The headquarters of the Women
of Woodcraft will not come to Pen
dleton without a combined effort on
the part of all. With combined ef-
fort it is possible to bring the head
quarters here. So far but few bust
ness men or their wives have applied
for membership in the order. If this
class of people is not interested in
bringing this institution to the city
it is useless for others who cannot
possibly benefit by it, to spend their
time urging the matter 1t is simply
up to the actual business men tc
take a personal interest in this mat
ter, in spite of all obstacles. 1t means
$4,000 more per year to be circu'
lated in Pendleton. If this is no in
ducement to timber up, then nothint

PRINTING ONLY ONE SIDE.


With its usual measure of selfish
ness and narrowness, the Oregonian
in giving an alleged exposition of
public sentiment on the proposed ref
erendum vote on the appropriation
bill gives but its own side of the con-
troversy.
The voice of the opposition is not
heard in its columns, although it al
leges that it is giving review of
the public sentiment of the entire
state on the question.
When the Oregonian could have
done the state a good turn, by taking
a decided stand against useless ap-
propriauons during the Legislative
it dared not open its mouth for fear
of jeopardizing the CRAFTS of Port
land; now that Portland cannot be in
jured by any action of the people, il
urges the referendum, especially OF
the normal school appropriations.
In order to put the referendum in
bad repute. the Oregonian is willing
to 20 to any length. Its especial task
just now is 10 print only one side o.
public sentiment in order to bias th'
people and make enemies for the nor
mails the referendum and any othel
friend of the common people which i
is possible to reach by its selfish pol
lev.

during a political campaign, I
caught cold after being oveheated
which irritated my throat and l
was finally compelled to stop, as l
could not speak aloud. In my ex-

use Chamberlain's Cough Rene
dy. I took two doses that after
noon and could not believe my

Census Petroleum Report Just Out For Publication

from the various oil producing
| States had most inadequate idea
| of the task set before them. In
attempting to explain the dis:
crepancy between the number OF
wage earners engaged in the oil
industry in 1889 and 1902, it IS
stated that the decrease Of nearly
5000 is caused by the difference
| in the methods of computing the
average number at the two CEN
suses. But if there were 22,366
engaged in the OIL industry at
the close of 1899, the number was
at least doubled by 1902.
In the table relating to wage
earners one person connected with
the oil industry is reported to
have received less than SO cents,
one between SO and rs cents,
while four were working for less
than 81 a day. Seventy-four re-
ceived less than $1.25, 81 less
than $3.50, SO less than $1.75,
1918 less than So, 1903 less than
1925 and 10.046 less than $3.50 a
day. Those earning an average
of So a day were reported as
numbering 242; those earning
1926, $50; $3.50, 277; 1915, 80;
81, SO; 1926, 25; and those above
1926, 2S9. These figures make
an imposing looking table, but
the absurdity of the classification
is self-evident.
Under table 3 is presented the
statistics of the incorporated oil
companies for the year 1902. In
this table the amount of capital
stock issued and funded debt out
standing for all the oil companies
in the United States is reported
at $330,905, $50, and the number
of shares of common and PREFER
ed stock authorized is given as
$3.50, 456, 514. Of this number,
213.116,629 shares were issued Of
a par value of 1924, 1S6,603. On
this amount of capital the share
1870, in the way of dividends.
It will be noted that the divi-
dends are over 100000 more
than the total earnings Of the in
dustry shown in the first table.
The greatest amount of stock
was issued in the State Of Cali
fornia, the par value being $685.
043, 1872, upon which $1,190,O12 in
dividends was paid. Texas was
next with a par value of $685.
ia, upon which $655.216 was
paid in dividends. Ohio was third,
with a capitalization Of $37 $780,
100, Oh which the dividends paid
amounted to $4,715,322. In Penn.
sylvania the par value of stocks
was reported at $27,O75, 100, on
which dividends amounting to
$945,372 were paid. The West
Virginia companies were capital
lied at $29,7O6,200, and the divi-
dends paid amounted to $9SO,846.
In addition to the above regu-
larly incorporated companies it is
estimated that 1900 or more COM
panies were formed for purely
speculative purposes, with a pa
per capitalization of over $780,
100000. A large amount of stock
has been issued by such compan-
les operating. in Texas, Califor-
MIA, Colorado, Louisiana, Ken
lucky and Kansas.
Mr.. Oliphant has done the best
possible with the data at hand
and produced a very commenda-
BILE pamphlet. 1t is to be hoped
that when the Census depart
ment again concludes to collect
the facts in connection with the
petroleum developments in this
country, it will have a fund at it's
command sufficient to secure a re-
liable and complete summary Of
all the statistics connected with
this great industry.-Oil City

II n6 T6pOTIS VI tliO OSh'eS
|partment on Petroleum and Nat
ural Gas n 1902, by F. H. Oil
plant of Oil City, have just been
issued from the Government
printing office. These contain the
only census statistics on the pc
troleum industry since 1889. Mr..
Oliphant has done his work well,
but the data collected is open to
criticism, and must be very far
from complete. As far as the
statistics on production are con-
cerned the Census department
had the figures of the Geological
Survey as a basis, and they may
be regarded as a pretty nearly
correct, but the average oil man
will take numerous exceptions to
some of the other compilations
in this report. AS means OF
comparison, the work performs
an excellent purpose and shows
in a clear and excellent manner
the wonderful progress that has
been made in the petroleum in
dus during the past four decades.
In 1860. the total valuation OF
the petroleum produced in the
| United States was less than So
100000: in 1870, the valuation
was $19,3O4.224; lin 1880, $24,-
600 63S; in 1889, $685. 1868, $40, and
in 1902, $71,397, 739. The num-
Der of barrels produced in 1889
was 35,163,513, and in 1902, &c.
275, 1902. The gain in quantity
during the II years under review
was 1889 per cent, and in value,
1913 per cent.
At the close of 1902 it is esti-
mated that there were 1851
wells in operation, and that there
J were 29,522 individuals and firms
engaged in the business of pro
ducing oil. At the close Of 1889
the number Of wells thus reported
was 35,163. The number of sal
aried officials connected with the
business was reported at 3O33
! for 1902. and the number of wage
earners at 1852. These figures
are for the entire producing re-
gions from Pennsylvania to Cali
| fornia. and show that out Of a to-
tai population of 100000 only
I5O.1O7. or less than one-tenth of
I1cG were engaged in the prOduc-
ton of oil in tie United States
during the year under review.
While the number of salaried Of
fcials increased from 173 in 1889
to 1898 in 1902, the average num-
Der of wage earncrs is shown to
have declined during the same
period from 22,366 to 1852.
In the comparative summary
an attempt is made to estimate
the expenses attending the devel-
opment of oil, and the following
statistics are presented for the
year 1902: Sal - paid, $685.
1853: wages paiu, 1922, 1861,
contract work on wells, 1885,
631; cost of supplies and mater
ials, $17,7S1,512: operating ex-
penses, $15,S11,726. This repre-
sents a total of $26.77S,99S, while
the value of all the oil produced
in the United States for the
same year was ST., 1897, 739, leav-
ing the actual net profits for the
operators, $S,61S,741. Divided
among 1882 producers this
would give each one less than
5000 as the result of his years
work. Such results are an abb
surdity on their very face. In the
list of operating expenses must be
included the earnings of a large
number of producers who operate
their own wells, which might add
materially to the above figures.
1t must be evident, however, that
the statistics as whole are in
complete, and that the men who
