THE SIX-BTT COMPANIES ;

As soon as the list is available the
East Oregonian will publish the list
of the names of the 'siX-bit," or dis
honest insurance companies which
are offering to settle with San Fran
cisco property owners at rs cents on
the dollar.
These companies should be barred
from doing business in every state
They are not safe nor honest and the
public should know who they are.
They carry millions of dollars in in
surance risks, and demand that the
public pay them the same premium
that is paid to other companies which
are classed as standard companies,
yet when losses occur these CONNER
cial shysters refuse to pay in full, and
are found seeking all manner of ex-
cuses for not meeting their risks.
The East Oregonian will give them
all proper publicity in this city and IT
hopes that all such companies are de-
barred from doing any business in
Oregon. They should not be allowed
to blk the public twice.

THE VALUE OF REST.

The therapeutic value of rest in the
medical management of acute inflam-
matory and infectious processes is
not fully appreciated. Its effect upon
the circulation is significant. The
average daily output of energy by the
heart is 100000 foot pounds; by SIM
pie rest in bed It is possible to save
the heart n daily expenditure of 50,-
OOO foot pounds of energy.
The faster the heart beats the less
time it has for rest--that is, the sum
total of the periods of rest or diastole
is much greater when the pulse, is. say
40 per minute, than when it is 12C
per minute; so that decreasing the
pulse rate saves the heart.
Again, in the recumbent position
this organ is saved the labor of ele-
vating that part of the blood which
goes to parts above its own level
Rest of the voluntary muscles is still
more important. An immense amount
of energy evolved in muscle move
ment is conserved by rest in bed.
Muscle rest also secures rest for
the motor neurons. The larger part
of the nervous system is relieved OF
its work when the muscles are DOR
mant. Decreasing the output of en-
ergy relieves the digestive, assimila-
tive, and eliminative organs of a cor
responding amount of work.-G
Wehrle, in Therapeutic Gazette.

FAST TYPESETTING.

The Salt Lake Herald takes a pard-
enable pride in the fact that 1t has
in its employ the fastest linotype OPP
orator in the world, in c. A. Nichols.
Mr.. Nichols recently undertook to
establish a new worlds record. IT
was thought when he began that he
would be successful in his attempt.
He was. He passed the former high
record by more than 10000 ems and
had a few minutes of his eight hours
left when he quit. 1t is certain that
Mr.. Nichols could have set a higher
mark had he gone the full time limit,
but he set the mark high enough.
The old record, $4,000 ems, as
against 100000 for Mr.. Nichols, stood
for 10 years. His record is likely to
stand for a much longer period. There
were times when his work was faster
than the capacity of the machine he
was operating, and the machines have
always before been faste rthan any
operator. So the Nichols mark will
stand because II is just about as high
as human hands can place it. The
achievement is one of which he has
reason to be proud. He stands at the
fore front Of his calling.

MOVING AN OSTRICH.

When one of the big ostriches Is
moved at the Cincinnati Zoo. it takes
a dozen men to do it, and each one
will tell you afterwards that he thinks
it Is equal to hard days work Not
that the ostrich is a particularly mean
or dangerous creature. but he is a
stubborn one, and always wants to do
what the men do not want. This
strong will power from so small head
is substantiated by strong body and
two awfully powerful legs. He can
kick like a mule. but his kicks are
toward the front and he lands almost
every time he tries.
An ostrich is the biggest coward
YOU ever saw when in a strange place,
and if you give him a chance will
run himself tired. hut this can not be
done when moving these birds at the
zoo. \ big sack is thrown over the
head to blindfold him. and another
one around the body to hold him back.
If the bird takes a notion to run, no
men living could stop him without the
sack around his body. He sticks his
long neck out straight and digging his
toes into the ground pulls like n
team of horses and as he clears the
track with dangerous kicks from the
front. the almost helpless men do the
best they can from the rear.-Mem-
phis News-Scimtar.

THE RECORD Is GOOD.

Every town in the farming COM
munities of the northwest expects to
experience a lull in business between
the seeding and harvest season, when
most of the farmers have moved to
the country, workingmen are all out
of town at work, and when all things
combine to make business light.
Not so with Pendleton this season.
To the contrary, business men de-
clare that the spring and early sum-
mer business this season, up to today,
has been better than usual. The vol
ume of business transacted during the
month of June was exceptionally
heavy and the trade since July 4,
contrary to all expectations has been
extremely active.
Pendleton is founded upon a solid
rock of resources which is not to be
shaken by temporary conditions. Her
wheat farmers and her stockmen are
certain sources of support
All she needs to supplement her
farmers, stockmen and active business
interests is a manufacturing popula-
ton which would draw monthly
salary the year around and make
more school houses necessary.

THE SALARY GRAB"

The Charlotte Observer illustrates a
point with the following story of a
by-gone incident. The older public
will remember the congressional
back salary grab" of the late six
ties and early seventies-the members
of one congress reaching back and
voting themselves additional salary
which they convinced themselves was
due from the preceding session.
Among those voting for this measure
was the late General James Madison
Leach, of North Carolina, then a rep
resentative in congress.
The next year he was a candidate
for reelection, and when he was
laundering away on the stump one
day a man in the audience interrupt
ed him: But what did you do with
your part of the back salary grab p

AID MADAGASCAR BALD HEADS.

horrid thing has happened in
Madagascar. Several millions of peo-
pie are becoming bald, according to
Captain Peter Wilberforce who has
just arrived in New York and sailed
away again with so gross bottles of
hair tonic from the maker of a popu-
lar brand.
The inventor of this hair wash does
not pretend that it will remedy all
badness. There are some cases, as in
wooly-headed or kinky-haired people,
to which it was not intended to apply
But the natives of Madagascar think
it is all right, because Malagasy by
name of Antambahoaka, who was
completely bald, got bottle of this
hair wash from a Cape Town doctor
and grew resplendant hirsute adorn-
ment which was straight and silky.
Before that it had been short and
kinky.
According to Captain Wilberforce,
who denies that he is related to Will
liam Wilberforce of anti-slavery fame,
the trouble in Madagascar Is that
some time ago they had a fever there.
that the patients of the Hovas tribe
(straight-haired) and of the tribe of
Betsmiserakas (kinky-haired) all be-
came bald in the convalescent stages.

PENDLETON'S OPPORTUNITY.

Pendleton has the finest opportuni-
ty and the best natural advantage for
making an elegant city of homes and
driveways of any city in the inland
empire.
She is located on a fine stream
the Umatilla river; has a number of
exceptionally long streets, which
might be converted into excellent
boulevards or driveways with. small
expenditure and has a municipal wa
ter system which affords amply sup
ply for almost any emergency.
Suppose the price of city water was
reduced about 25 per cent so small
home-owners could afford to use the
limit in irrigating lawns and shade
trees; then suppose a movement
should be started to plant trees as
thick as they could stand from St.
Anthony's- hospital to the extreme
west end of Court, Alta and Webb
streets, on both sides of these streets.
When these trees should come to
maturity and should furnish shade for
the entire length of these three streets,
no city in the west could present more
ATTRACTIVE driveways, and no more de-
lightful public improvement could be
made to supplement the paving on
the principal business streets.
Suppose the city should undertake
to furnish the young trees free of
charge. on condition that home
owners should care for them and ir-
rigate them. The expense would be
light and it would convince the people
that the city government exists for
the public good and not FOR the few.
The people would respond to this
movement heartily, it is believed, and
a most beautiful effect would result.
Then, in addition to this, the levee
can be converted into a driveway and
thus public interest in it would be
kept continually at the highest point.
With these improvements the city
would present a delightful appearance
to the stranger and would invite the
capitalist to locate here.
The natural advantages are here
and II only the men who own homes
and business interests in Pendletor
will do their part this can be made
one Of the most beautiful and at.
tractive cities as well as one of the
best business points in the inland
empire.

the case at issue. The old saw to the
effect that it makes difference
whose OK is gored" has peculiar ap-
plication to the beef trust exposures.
Mr.. Armour and his associates never
paused to consider the matter of n
square deal" and fair play" when
they met every morning to decide
how much they would pay for beef
on the hoof. They never thought of
those things when they We're eXacting
rebates from complaisant railroad
managers in order thar they might
crush out competition.
They never gave those things a
thought when they put in syndicate
meat markets by the side of inde-
pendent markets and sold beef below
cost until the small competitors were
bankrupt. When they were doping
their products and endangering the
health of the public In order to in
crease profits they did not care a rap
about a square dear' or fair play"
That was when they thought they had
everything their own way.
Now, when they are paying the pen
atty, their interest in a square dear'
and fair play" suddenly becomes
acute.

THE PERFECT FACE.

In a perfect face every feature
should bear certain proportion to
every other feature. The width of the
face should be equal to five eyes. The
distance between the eyes should be
exactly equal to one eye. Another
important relation is that between the
eyes and the mouth. The width of
the eyes should be equal to two-thirds
that of the mouth. The nose should
be equal in length to the height of the
forehead, of regular shape, and pre-
clsely defined outline.-Medical Talk

The Denver Post prints Kipllng's
magnificent hymn, "rhe Recessional,"
every Fourth of July to help keep
alive the spirit of patriotism
God of our fathers, known of old
Lord of our far-flung battle line
Beneath whose awful hand we hold
Dominion over palm and pine;
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget, lest we forget!
The tumult and the shouting dies
The captains and the kings depart
Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice,
A humble and contrite heart.
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget. lest we forget
Far called, our navies melt away
On dune and headland sinks the
fire.
So, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre!
Judge OF the nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget, lest we forget
If drunk with the sight of power, we
loose
Wild tongues that have not Thee in
awe
Such boasting as the Gentiles use,
Or lesser breeds without the law
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest We forget, lest we forget!
For heather heart that puts trust
In reeking tube and iron shard-
All valiant dust that builds on dust,
And guarding. calls not Thee to
guard,
For frailties boast and foolish word.
They mercy on Thy people Lord!

Sweet Potato Culture at The uni
vePsTty of Pennsylvania.

In the experimental greenhouse of the
Botanical Departments, Of the University Of
Pennsylvania two long shelves have recent
" been erected on which is now growing an
array Of ninety-eight pots, including about
fifty varieties of the sweet potato. These
have been brought from places SO widely
apart as New Jersey, Louisiana, Jamica
Ecquador, the Sandwich Islands and India.
They are being utilized in an extensive in
vestigation at present being made by Mr.. B.
Fl. A. Groth in connection with his thesis
study on The History, Distribution, Yari-
ations and Culture OF the Sweet Potato z
When brought together IN the comparative
manner in which they are now displayed il
is interesting to, note how variable is
this common esculent plant OF New Jerseys
sand fields, alike in the tubers, the long
branches and the leaves; for all variations
may be observed from rich claret red, or
crimson, to bright green, and from leaves
of simple outline to those that are deeply
five or seven lobed. From extensive cultural
experiments already made by Mr.. Groth,
the size, quality and constitution Of the
tubers vary greatly, and it is Mr.. Groth's
hope that he may yet be able to select
special varieties that will be the best strains
alike for the market, for storing, for seed
purposes, for starch and sugar production.
One aim Of the entire investigation has
been to classify and accurately describe all
Of the varieties at present in cultivation,
and to bring these into scientifically
classified system that will be Of use to
future students Of this highly valuable
commercial plant.
