HEYBURN'S REBUKE.

Last night at the irrigation congress
at Boise City, Senator Hepburn of
Idaho. renewed his bitter fight upon
President Roosevelt and his forest re-
serve policy, and as a reward was
Kissed from the platform by the indig-
nant delegates.
1t has been believed all along that
Hepburn has been fighting the forest
reserves in the interest, of the Weyer-
hauser Lumber company and the
Northern Pacific railroad. He has
contended that he objected to the
formation of reserves because it shut
out actual settlers. on this plea he
has created considerable sentiment in
the east that is antagonistic to the
reserve policy of the administration.
The facts are that there is no ag-
r.cultural land in the forest reserves
as now established. The creation of
the Idaho reserves has not shut out a
dozen settlers.
But it has shut out the Weyerhauser
Lumber company and other timber
land sharks and syndicates. These
spectators have been dealing in Idaho
timber lands and have stripped Idaho
forests from one end of the state to the
other.
II is these interests and not the
actual settler, which have been using
Hepburn as a tool to fight the reserve
policy of President Roosevelt. 1t is
the timber syndicates which desire to
plunder the public domain, which
have actuated Heyburn's bitter fight
People in the west cannot be deceived
by the willy senator, no matter how
plausible his trumped-up plea for the
Settler"
The emphatic sentiment in favor OF
the forest reserve policy of the admin
istration, which was exhibited in the
Kisses for Hepburn last night, will dis
abuse the minds Of fasteners of the
illusion that Hepburn has a just case
He has received a rebuke which will
be heard in the halls of congress next
session.
The time has come to check ram
pant speculation in public lands. Hey
burn cannot perpetuate the saturnalia
Of land grabbing by attacking the hon
est intentions Of the Roosevelt admin.
istration. The people are with Roos-
evelt and against the corporation in
terests represented by Hepburn.

HELP THE FAIR.

The East Oregonian wishes to inn
press upon the people of Umatilla and
Morrow counties that the fair to be
held in this city from September "a to
30, is STRICTLY A PEOPLES AG-
RICULTURAL FAIR AND NOT \
PENDLETON STREET CARNIVAL
THE STATE OF OREGON HAS
APPROPRIATED MONEY FOR
PREMIUMS AND THE FAIR is A
PERPETUAL INSTITUTION. THIS
YEAR is BUT THE BEGINNING.
IT WILL CONTINUE FROM YEAR
TO YEAR AS LONG AS THE PEo-
PIE WILL BRING IN EXHIBITS
AND COMPETE FOR PREMIUMS.
There are thousands of splendid ex-
hibits of agricultural and horticultu.
raj products which should be displayed
from the fields, orchards and gardens
of Morrow and Umatilla countie.
Ample space Is being provided for
these exhibits and the East Oregonian
hopes that the actual producers the
people for whose benefit the fair was
instituted by the state, will bring in
these exhibits and compete for the
liberal premiums provided
Pendleton is doing her full share to
make this fair a success. Her mer-
chants and business men are subscrib-
ing literally to the support of the fair
and every citizen of this city and COM
munity is working diligently to estab-
lish this district agricultural society
upon a permanent basis. that the peo-
pie may have something to look for
ward to, every year.
1t requires hard work and much
money to start fair of this kind, and
as it was not started until late in the
year, there is but little time in which
to make preparations Therefore
everybody must do something. Two OF
three men cannot carry the load and
do the work. There must be cooper
alton, there must be personal interest
taken by farmers and stockmen for
whose direct benefit the fair society
was established.
Come and see what is being done
and then get your shoulder to the
wheel. Your services and cooperation
are needed. Bring in your exhibits
They will be taken care of and yol
will be given credit fer them. Thi.
fair is for you.

REBUILDING PACKINGTOwN.

The Transformation of Packingtown
Chicago's industrial suburb, is nearly
completed, says a Chicago dispatch.
A touch here and there, and Secre-
tary wilson's dream of a city beauti-
full at the stock yards will be realiz-
ed. Never in the annals of Chicago
has there been recorded such a rush
to carry out the letter of the law.
Work has continued at high pressure
since the packers undertook to remod-
ell their plants, and the result is said
to exceed the most sanguine hopes of
government officials.
Day and night shifts have worked
incessantlv at the plumbing, refitting
and rebuilding of the numerous de-
partmerts at the larger plants, and
the demand for men at the yards has
heen so great that downtown buildings
have actually suffered for want of la
Dor.
The drainage of the stock yards-a
big problem with the packers-will
be altered at once to meet the re-
quirements of the law In their desire
to go one better. however, the pack
ers have called upon their engineers
to submit scheme whereby a unified
plan OF sanitation for the whole of
Packingtown might be inaugurated.
The present system. It is pointed out,
covers the rules set down by the de-
partment controlling the industry
under the new law, but the packers
themselves desire to introduce a sort
of model arrangement
one of the rules introduced at the
plants is that of clean uniforms.
Thousands of suits for the men and
slips for the women in three colors
have been supplied.

THE OREGoNIAN's chop DREAM

The Portland Oregonian periodical
ly al'udes to the alleged fact that Or
egon will kill her hop industry by
putting into execution the local op-
tion law. 1t tries to influence senti-
ment by touching the pocket of the
hop farmer.
The facts are that Oregon breweries
do not consume one per cent of the
oregon hop output. London and Liv-
erpool buyers would buy 10 times the
output Of the state if they could get
it.
Oregon might go prohibition from
Snake river down on the east to the
strip of land at Fort Stevens on the
west and from Irrigon on the north to
Goose lake on the south, and it would
not affect in the least the hop mar
ket in the state.
Oregon brewers do not fix hop
prices do not make the demand for
hops. and In no way stimulate the
production of hops in Oregon. If Or
egon and Washington were both pro-
hibition states, every pound of hops
and barley now produced or hereafter
produced would be marketed at top
prices and the demand would continue
to increase as the vacant places on the
globe are settled with bread-eating
animals.

RAILROADS, EAST AND WEST.

Until one visits the east and travels
upon the antiquated railroad equip
ment of some of the eastern roads,
the excellence of the western railroad
service cannot be fully appreciated.
on most of the roads in the east
and central west the trains are infer
ior in quality TO those passing through
Pendleton. Even the boasted fast
trains Of the big eastern railroad sys-
TENS are but little faster, If any, than
the Portland-Chicago trains Of the o.

traing in the central west are made up
Of old coaches without vestibules, with

SELL THEIR FLOUR BELOW COST.
MiIIers at Milwaukee Told Why Bush
ness lie unprofitahIe

Milwaukee, June 22.-S. Thurston
Ballard of Louisville, KY, told the
millers convention yesterday that the
milling business was being rendered
Improbable because a comparatively
great number of nlllers do not know
what it costs them for labor, insurance,
fuel and other necessary expenses,
and actually sell their product in many
cases at loss. He presented figures
showing that the net cost of making
flour in large mill is not under 90
cents barrel, while many millers ac-
cept half that as representing cost. Mr..
Ballard urged the millers to adopt bet
ter accounting methods.
H. 3. Tasker of Loeldon said the Ann
erican millers We're in danger of los
ing their trade in the United Kingdom
thru competition of the British miller.
He divided the blame between the mil
Ter and the transportation lines, the
former for failing to keep up the stand.
ard Of his product and the latter for
taking 100 days to deliver flour in
London when it could be done In forty.

Chicago, June 22.-Cattlc trade was
sand, and did not give much chance
for an active market. The quality was
poor, few steers selling above $5.25.
The COW trade was dull but unchange
as to prices. The market is closing the
week about l0Ml5 cents lower on
steers. Good cows are not much lower,
but grassy stun is off 25m5o cents for
the week. =.
The receipts in four days this week
have been $4,000, against run OF b.
013 a week ago and a majority OF the
statesmen have not taken a very gloomy
view OF the selling situation, feeling
fairly confident that the future demand
for good beef cuts will afford relatively
firm outlet for fat steers. There Is Il
liberal movement OF grassy cattle tow
ard market these days, however, and
such are meeting continued poor favor
from the saughterers. They were
weak sale week ago and lower again
this week, while traders do not favor
the outlook for them in the immediate
future.
Breaking OF the drought IN most sec
tons of the feeding belt, however.
should stimulate owners of the grass
fattening kinds to hold on to them for
a while rather than ship now when
1t would seem buyers main efforts are
directed toward getting them at lower
prices.
There is little complaint from buyers
respecting full coolers at this time,
which silence would indicate fairly
free movement in consumptive chan
nels and return of public confidence in
the virtues of beef as the main meat
food The fact that the big supplies OF
cattle have gone to slaughterers this
week without any very serious break
in prices should not stimulate contin-
ued big marketing in the next week,
as the general situation, on the other
hand would seem to call for a de-
crease in supplies and such would suit
traders rather than an increase.

The market opened with a show Ot

Washington, June 32.-E,very re-
| toward making the dirt fly on the Pa
mama canal as a result of the senate
action in declaring for the lock type,
favored by the president and the house
of representatives.
Cut loose now. and build the canal
The American people want results on

obtained, and / want them. Dig; dig.
Congress and the people are behind us
hours after the completion of the Pan
ANA canal legislation President Roose-
Welt Will issue, in effect. the above
order to Chairman Shonts and Chief
Engineer Stevens.
The president expressed his great
qualification at the action of the Unit
ed States senate in supporting his pan
for the construction OF lock canai.
He has been convinced for several days
that the lock Type ol Naiiai "ooiN y"
adopted by the senate on It's maj vote,
notwithstanding the report OF the ma
joriiy of the interoceanlc canal COM
mittee in favor of sea-leVei water
way A careful canvass OF the senate
was made and he was assured that
there would be safe majority IN IA
vor of the lock type. which he mas al
yocated ever since the report OF tone
, engineers commission was received.
II was pointed out at the white
house that practically the same sena-
! tors who voted against the lock canaA
project also were opposed to the rama
ma treaty and so recorded their votes.
Vote Hold One of Confidence.
The president regards the vote OF the
house ard the senate on the lock type
of canal as a vote of confidence. Or
ders will be issued in a few days TO
push the work as rapidly as possible
and it is announced that before the
summer is far advanced as many men
and as much machinery as probably
can be employed will be engaged in
making the dirt fly on the canal route.
Secretary Taft and Chairman Shonts
of the canal commission were also
greatly pleased at tie o1l,oiiAs Va 49,
struggle in the senate. For the last
two weeks they have been exerting all
of their influence with individual SEN
ators to get them to favor the lock
type of canal.
Promptly upon being advised of the
result of the vote in the senate MI
Shonts called on Secretary Taft at the
war department and began to discuss
the plans Of the commission for the
prosecution of the great work OF the
canal construction. 1t was decided that
the commission as whole should start
for the isthmus at the earliest possible
moment and Chief Engineer stevens
will accompany the members of the
commission.
1t was found that the first steamer
would be the Panama, which will sail
from New York next Thursday, and on
that vessel the commissioners will en-
bark. 1t is the purpose to make a
thorough inspection of the canal work,
| which has reached a point where eX-
| perts must determine the lines on
which it is to be continued, and Mr..
Stevens desires that full approval shall
be had Of his own plan before the work
shall progress further.
