Of perfect liberty.
1t has never been borne on an
oppressive mission, nor ever lower.
ed in disgrace.
1t was conceived through the
wedlock of States; born in the ira
vail of war; nourished in the cradle
of liberty; and, gathering strength
through the years ola century or
more, has reached the splendid
stature of its prime that measures
favorably with any figure in the
group Of nations.
There is perhaps, no inanimate
object on the face Of the globe,
with more expressive life, than the
flag of our country. 1t seems
eloquent in an universal language
all may understand. When It
spreads it's folds of red, white and
blue, ripping in sunlight, it be-
tokens victory, dignity, joy, power
and command; when it droops, It
symbols compassion and sorrow;
and, draped over the casket Of its
protector and defender, it means
regard and history-a becoming
shroud for the soldier dead.
The defence of the flag was the
soldiers mission Of the Civil War;
the preservation Of it is the mis-
sion of every American Citizen
living under it.
The flag is the signal Of protec-
ton, whether against foreign OF
domestic foe, the invader or law
breaker, the revolutionist or an
archist; it is a sign the nation has
set up, proclaiming freedom to all,
protection and humanity.
The robe Of justice:
1t invites the oppressed to rally
beneath it's fold; it warns against
trespass within it's sacred precincts.
1t lie a beautiful flag.
Let everyone elevated by its
protection, stand before it impress.

embrace, as they would fold an
idol child they thought they had

After ten years Of earnest en-.
deavor, the several States have
enacted laws providing for the dis
play of the flag over the school
houses of all districts where pat
riotism reigns. Under it, Million
of children, who will govern thu
country in the next decade or two
are being educated to be loyal cit
liens.
The country saved by valor ant
sacrifice is made more secure, yea

Then fellow citizens let US hoist thu

is MERCY DUE?

Secretary Hitchcock is severely crit
icized for expressing delight at the
of Oregon's congressional
delegation for land frauds.
Senator Mitchell and Congressman
Williamson and their accomplices have
had fair and impartial trials in the
state in which they have been chosen
TO these high positions. They have
had access to the best talent. legal
advice and counsel and all the ma
cbinery of the courts in their defense.
With all this at their command, the
facts have proved them to be guilty
In view of this. is mercy due them In
even the slightest degree? Should they
not receive the full sentence and pay
the full penalty. just as any other man
convicted of a crime?
Men In their positions and of theiI
standing have less grounds for the ex
tension of mercy than a common, ig
Grant criminal. They have intelli

MARVELLOUS SAGHALIEN

Saghalien covers an area of over
5000 square miles.
\ popularity of the island is its
mountainous aspect. the elevations eX-
tending to the very sea. The western
coast presents the appearance of a
steep wall.
In the central part snow occasional
ly falls seven feet deep.
Almost the entire country is covered
with forests.
AIexandrovsk or Dui. Rykovki, are
tho principal settlements.
Gerrit de Bries. the Dutch naViga-
tor. first told Europe about Saghalien.
Russia and Japan had joint posses
sion of Saghalien down to 1875. when
in return for the Kurile archipelago
Japan ceded all her rights.
Russia colonized Saghalien to make
it a penal settlement
In Russia it is known as the Island
of Despair" Convicts term it the
Island of Sea Girt Misery
! The Japanese call the island Kaba-
futo.
The reason Japan went after sag
halien hotfoot was because they had
discovered that the island contained
wealth.
Its coal supply is enormous, and the
quality of the fuel much better thar
any found in Japan. one mountain
chain has layers of coal so thick that

RECLAMATION IN INK.

d. c. Henry head of the reclama-
ton service in Oregon and Washing

headquarters from Pendleton. the CEN
ter of the arid belt to Portland, the
center of the rain belt and $50 miles
from the center of the arid belt, ap-
pears in the Oregonian with an inter
view in which great promises are given
for the reclamation of a tract of land
in northern Umatilla county
But there is always a string to re-
eIamation projects.
This project in northern Umatilla
county has been lying vacant until
quite recently, when the activity OF
private ditch companies has stimulated
settlement, and now after the land Is
nearly all in private hands Mr.. Henny
finds it is suitable for a government
project. But
Private parties must surrender their
rights. reduce their holdings, come
into the government project on the
government terms. and do dozen
other things, all of which will retard
the Umatilla project, even if 1t Is seri'
ously considered. just as these provis'
ions are delaying the Malheur project
Oregon has contributed S4,OOO,OO'
10 the reclamation fund; over SlOO''
600 has been spent in making prelim
mary surveys and maintaining larg'
office force in the reclamation service
in the state; the state contains severa
million acres suitable for reclama
ton purposes and all logical conclu
sions drive the people to believe tina
something is due the state from tn
reclamation service.
So far only paper reclamation pro
iects have been undertaken, with an
promise of success. Paper reclama
tion projects vie with paper railroad

The camera has been the undoing
of more than one man. Senator Hey
burn of Idaho, is the last victim of
the little tell-tale. In his passionate
plea for the cancellation of Idaho for
est reserves. he declared before the
president and other public officials
that poor settlers were struggling on
their farms in the Idaho reserves, try
ing to make living and support large
families; that they had spent thous-
ands of dollars in improvements and
that the destruction Of their efforts
would surely follow the establishment
Of the reserves ON the lines intended.
All this time government agents had
been developing photographs of the
homes built by Senator Heyburn's
settlers" They consisted of shacks
costing from SO to SIS each, utterly
abandoned. unfit for homes and had
never been inhabited. Suddenly, the
senator's argument fell ON deaf ears
and his oratory cooled. The camera
was his undoing.
