circular which was received by the
East Oregonian this morning.

IN. questions asked in circulars and
ptirate letters received by this paper
almost daily and it is evidence of a
growing interest in the state of Ore
eon. and especially in Umatilla coun-
ny.
The Commercial association should
have an excellent advertising circular
~ .r7stantly on hand to send to the
anxious inquirers in the east VINO
write for information concerning the
county. 1t is impossible for pri-
vate individual or firm to answer all

association. which should be well pre-
pared with circulars and Information
which could be sent on short notice
to interested investors and homeseek
,ers. The circular is as follows:

In the list of brigadier generals
there is not much encouragement.
Indeed, il nothing else should incline
Mr.. Roosevelt to keep the peace, a
contemplation of his line generals
ought to. OF the entire 23, two
Funston and Grant-were made gen.
erals outright; seven came from staff
departments, four We're jumped from
captaincies, and only 10 rose through
all the regimental grades from lieu
tenant to colonel. And of the latter
class, no less than eight will retire for
age before the end of 1907.

THE FIGHTING GENERALS.

The New York Evening Post, in
discussing the present list of regular
army major generals, quotes Lord
North as saying, at the outbreak of
the American revolution that he did
not know whether his generals would
frighten the Americans, but that they
certainly frightened him when he
came to consider their qualifications.
The Post continues:
Something of the same feeling must
come over any one who studies the
list of our regular army major gen.
erals as they stand after several years
of what the Sun rightly calls promo
/ tion nv selection as a result of favor
itism and pull" They are Arthur
| Macarthur. Henry C. Corbin, James
F.. Wade. Leonard Wood, John f.
| Weston, Adolphus w. Greedy, and
Frederick D. Grant.
OF these General Macarthur is un'
doubtedly an able soldier who seems
however. to have lost his ambition fol
hard work, but his promotion to the
lientuenant generally, on the retire
ment in that position of General'
Rates and Corbin, is certain. Genera
Wade. who is anxious to retire a
once. Is the only one of the sever
major generals who passed through
every grade of the line and command
ed a regular regiment.
OF the others, Macarthur, Corbin
Wood and Greely, left regimental du
ty as captains, and Weston as a firs

and Wood as medical officer. Grant
total regimental service aggregate
; not over eight months. This include
a brief period with the Fourth caval
ry in 1872, and six weeks as colont
, of the Fourteenth New York volun
teers in 1898. The rest of his regula
army service comprises eight years
, the staff Of General Sheridan prio
to his resignation in 1881, and tn
time he has spent as brigadier generi
since his appointment in 1901.

THE NIGHT Is STILL.

The night is still, the moon looks kind,
The dew hangs jewels on the heath,
An ivy climbs across thy blind,
And throws a light and misty
wreath.
The dew hangs jewels on the heath,
Buds bloom for which the bee has
pined
l haste along, I quicker breathe,
The night is still, the moon looks
kind.
Buds bloom for which the bee has
pined,
The primrose slips its Jealous
sheath
AS up the flower-watched path
wind,
And come thy window ledge be-
meath.
The primrose slips its Jealous sheath
Then open wide the churlish blind
And kiss me through the ivy wreath
The night is still, the moon look
| kind.

CHAMPION HAND-SHAKER.

ident Roosevelt has recently added
that of being the champion hand
shaker of the United States, and prob
ably of the world. At the New Years
reception of 1906 in the White House
the president, in three hours and A
minutes shook hands with 9052 per-
sons, or at the rate of 40. per minute
This surpasses even the high record
he made last year. and, as practice
makes perfect, he will doubtless dc
still better on January l, 19O7.-Les'
lies Weekly.

Superiority of Woman.

A fine Illustration OF what THE
weaker vessel can do was given on
February IA when Miss Genevieve
Harvey was the only member of the
San Mateo Hunting club to show up
at the meet (on account of the storm
not a man appeared). Miss Harvey
took the pack and rode the 12-mile
course, over a score of fences to the
finish in fine form. The rain was
slight drizzle and the lone hunts
woman reported "the most enjoyable
ride of the season." which was not
very flattering to the men members
who remained in out of the wet
San Francisco Star.
