NOSES OF GREAT MEN.

Prominent noses seem to have been
the property of many great men. Ly-
curgus and Solon had noses six in
ches in length, and Ovid was sur
named Naso on account of his large
nose. Scipio Nasica derived his name
from his prominent olfactory organ,
and Alexander the Great and Cardi-
nails Wolsey and Richelieu all had
large noses. On the medals of Cyrus
and ArtaxerXes their noses came
clear out to the rim of the chin.
Washington's was the true aquil-
inc type, indicative of firmness and
patience, as was the nose of Julius
Caesar. Mohammed had singular
nose. 1t was so curved that a writer
has told us that the point of it seemed
continually striving to insert itself
between his lips. The noses of Frank
lin, Shakespeare and DIR. Johnson all
and wide nostrils hetokening strength
and love of thought. The nose of Ma
poleon was exquisitely though firmly
chiseled. He often said, Give me a
man with plenty of nose!"
Frederick the Great had so large
nose that Lavater offered to wager
that blindfolded he could tell It among
10000 by merely taking it between his
thumb and forefinger.

IOWA HAS DONE SOMETHING.

When 1t comes to producing wealth
Iowa is hummer. We talk glibly
about Alaska's gold fields, but where
are they when lined up in comparison
with the inexahustible fertility of
Hawkeye soil?
Iowa produces SSS,S4S,92O bushels
of corn during the present year, ac-
cording to the annual crop report
which Director John R. Sage of the
Iowa crop and weather service pre-
sented to the state agricultural con-
vention. This is an increase of A.
477,0S0 bushels over 1905. The aver
age yield of corn per acre was Al BUSH
els this year, as compared with 37.2
bushels last year. The government
report showed S56,7750U0 bushels
against S05,O0O, 900 bushels last year
and a yield per acre OF 30.5 bushels
Director Sage estimates the total value
Of Iowa farm products on December
this year, at 3O,4s5,421. On De.
cember 1, last year, he estimated the
farm products of the state at $302,-
2S6, an increase of over $2S, ,000,.

TIIE PENDLETON SPIRIT.

The Pendleton spirit is seen smiling
from every store and shop window in
the city this holiday season. Some
of the most beautiful windows and in
teriors to be found in the state are
now seen in this city.
Through it all and over it all smiles
that complacent and cordial spirit of
the Pendleton business man. 1t is a
rugged spirit of good cheer and
friendship. 1t has a hint of the pio-
neer in it's strong features. 1t means
fraternity and mutual progress.
The Pendleton spirit has made OF
this city a unique and excellent busi-
ness point. 1t has brought here pres
tige which is enjoyed by no other city
in the state.
The spirit is contagious. Every
business man in the city has it. They
all look alike. They all do business
on the same broad, open-handed plan
They all look upon life and progress
through the same optimistic glasses
That's what makes Pendleton such
good town. That's the secret of he
growth. That's the secret of he

TAX THE FORTUNES.

There is a tendency everywhere to
tax the idle wealth of the country.
Congress and state legislatures are
directing to laws of this kind. Com
mercial bodies. cities and counties are
making every effort to reach the
wealth that is not expressed in land
buildings and stocks of merchandise
The rich franchises which yield
millions and yet have no visible prop
erty, the concessions of the express
and telegraph companies which re-
turn fabulous incomes on small in
vestments-these forms of property
are being brought into the assessment
lists and will be made to bear their
share Of the burden.
An inheritance tax, an income tax,
tax on franchises, a tax on invisible
property-these subjects are agitating
every portion of the country. Law
makers everywhere are wrestling
with the problem of adequately tax
ing this class of property.
Too long the man with the visible
store of wealth has borne the burden
Let the tax-dodgers now be forced tc
pay up past delinquencies.

THE DESERT.

Silent and stern and lonely
The empty desert lies
Bitterness in its pulseless heart,
Blindness in its eyes!
Hot through its ghastly stretches
Wanders the drifting sand
1t yearns for the flowing river
(Ah, If it could understandD
The fire of a lover is in its soul,
Deep and tragic and strong
And deep in it's breast is stirring
Motherhood's mystic song!
And then from it's mountain fastness
Wanders a wayward stream,
Over the drear waste spreading
Splendor of Springs first dream!
A bride is the burning desert,
Rugged and strong and fair
A bride of the royal river
| Coming her throne to share!
No longer her hands are empty,
No longer her eyes are blind,
Life leaps out from her bosom,
| Valiant and unconfined!
The call of 1t wakes her spirit,
The thrill of it stirs her heart
The desert is filled with living things
The desert has done its part!

STRAIN FOR COMMISSIONER.

If a railroad commission is created
at the coming session of the Oregon
legislature, C. P. Strain, assessor of
Umatilla county, is the only logical
man IN eastern Oregon for a position
on that commission.
He has devoted more time to the
study OF railroad rates, taxation, prop
erty values and cost and earnings of
railroads, than any other citizen of
eastern Oregon.
Fair-r1inded, liberal in his views
experienced in this line Of work and
capable in an extraordinary degree
Mr.. Strain would make a valuable
public servant in this capacity. The
railroads and the public would each
receive a perfectly square deal from
him. He would bring a wealth Of in
formation and knowledge to the COM
mission and eastern Oregon will insis
on his appointment.

ROoSEyELTS SI.ANDERERS.

At the close of his message on
Panama, President Roosevelt devotes
n few hundred words to the slanderers
who have maligned the canal commits
sion, the president, the engineers and
everybody connected with the con-
struction of the canal, from the cook
in the government hotel on the canal,
TO the chief engineer.
The presidents answer to the sian
ders is sharp. singing, unsparing and
eloquent. He expresses the national
contempt for the professional SLAM
derer, for the fellow who is paid big
prices for saying mean things about
men in public office.
There are two ways to criticise a
national movement like the Panama
canal: one is to throw little irritating
darts of fault-finding into it, aggra-
littleness of the attacks; the other is
to enter into gentlemanly discussion
in charge, their plans and execution.
Most of the criticism of the canal
and its management has been of the
first kind: professional fault-find ding,
insinuating and suggestive questions.

OUR BILLIONS OF ANCESTORS.

Has anyone ever stopped to think
how many male and female ancestors
it took to bring US into the world?
First, of course, it was necessary to
have a father and mother, and our
father and mother must have had a
father and mother, and so on back
through 5e generations to the time of
Christ.
A careful calculation of all these
ancestors shows that there must have
been 1925, 5,017, 7,4S9,534,976 births to
bring one of us into the world. And
this is only from the time Of Christ,
and not from the beginning of the
world.
According to one authority, If from
single couple for 5000 years each
husband and wife had married at the
age of q, and there had been nc
deaths, the population of the earth
would be 2,199,915, followed by 14i
ciphers. To hold such a population
it would take several worlds the size
OF ours.

not faultless, to be sure, but the oper-
atives had not exhausted half of tiisir
resources in trying for better condf-
tons. AS long as professional strike
promoters rule the labor unions, so
long will the sympathies of the public
be against the unions. The public
naturally sympathizes with the laborer
in his struggles. But the laborer, as
well as the capitalist, must give the
public square deal.
