GRATING THE FARMERS.

The latest gigantic robbery reported
to the government, is the reported
dishonest methods of the elevator
trusts in the big wheat centers of the
country.
1t is said that by systematic use of
false weights. dishonest scales and i'm
proper classification, the farmers of
the country are boldly robbed Of mil
lions Of bushels Of wheat each year
by the trust.
Agents Of the trust in Duluth. Chi
cago, Minneapolis. St. Paul and other
large wheat centers. systematically
place a low classifics ton upon train
load after trainload Of wheat. paying
the farmer a few cents per bushel
less than it is actually worth by rea-
son Of tn. dishonest classification and
then Immediately rate it at a higher
classification for export.
. Thus an entire shipment Of wheat
is rated at second or third-class and
the farmer is paid accordingly. The
classification is dishonest, and the
trust Immediately places this shipment
in the first class and receives a first
class price for II, in the export trade.
This is one Of the boldest and most
far-reaching steals In the history of
the farming industry in this country
and II 1t proves to be ~ extensive and
bold as now reported, will result in
the establishment of independent ele-
vators everywhere and the annihila-
tiou Of the trust.

NOW LET THE DIRT FLY.

The last bit Of red tape in the ap-
preparation Of the money for the
Umatilla government irrigation pro-
ject, has been compiled with, 1t seems.
The secretary Of the interior has ac-
tually put his name TO the order set
ting aside $1,000, 900 for the project,
the reports Of the engineer are in, and
everything is now ready for the con-
tractors
It takes a long time but when IT
comes it will be a great blessing to
Umatilla county. The devious way Of
the government irrigation project
through the mazes and labyrinths of
red tape is slow and painful and un-
certain. but the final outcome COM
pensates for all the tedious and tire
some delay.
Dirt will now soon be flying on the
East Umatllla project Hundreds OF
mon and teams win be employed for
over a year and this 100000 will
practically all go into circulation in
this county.
But the best era viii come when the
water is finally turned into the bitches
and families begin to settle the des'
ert. This means more TO Umatilla

WHEN ONE OF Us WALKS ALONE

We have walked together, my love, my
love,
Through many a weary day,
With only the ghost of sun above
To light us upon the way.
Yet we have been happy. my dear
my dear,
More happy than we have known;
Through a good old world we have
journeyed here
But what when one walks alone?
1 would miss your faith. my love,m
own,
In The day that may sometime be,
Or haply you'd miss the comfort
you've known
In bringing your worries to me.
oh, I am not strong, and l am not
brave,
As all of my life has shown
So | sometimes sigh DER an unmade
grave.
When one of us walks alone.
The day must come. my dear, my
dear.
When one shall the shadows seek,
While the other shall wander lonely
here
In grief that he cannot speak.
Then give me your hand sweetheart,
sweetheart.
In fealty we have known,
And give me your love till at last we
part
And one of US walks alone.

UMATIILA AT BOISE.

Will Umatilla county, the leading
irrigation district i'm Oregon, have an
exhibit at the National Irrigation con-
gress at Boise, next September?
This is to be a NATIONAL CON
GEESS and not little local affair.
People from perhaps four -fifths of the
states and territories will be there to
take part in the congress. Congress
men. senators. government officials,
foreign representatives and public
men in all positions, attend these ma
tional irrigation congresses.
Through the national irrigation
congress they get glimpse of the
sentiment Of the irrigation districts,
and feel the pulse of the irrigation
workers.
BY all means Umatilla county
should be represented at Boise in a
first-class irrigated product exhibit.
She has not been represented at any
former congress. Now that this one
comes to our very doors. it seems
that some effort should be made to
secure IN exhibit.

things, a close relationship between
the large family and the short work

Since September /, when the eight

there has been a remarkable increase

You will be what you will be;
Let failure find its false content
In that poor world environment
But spirit scorns it, and is free.
It masters time, 1t conquers space,

Uncrown and fill a servants place.

The offspring of deathless Soul,

Though walls of granite intervene.

Confronts the dam and precipice,
Yet knows 1t cannot fail or miss;
You will be what you will to be.

WORID'S LARGEST GEM NINE.

The sapphire workings at Yogo
Gulch. Montana, are being gradually
developed into great and permanent
mining industry, says George f.
Kunz in a forthcoming report on pre-
cious stones, published by the United
States geological survey.
Taken as a whole. the Yogo dixie is
perhaps the greatest gem mine in the
world. 1t Is about four miles long on
the surface, and being a true !gneous
dixie. descends to en- indefinite depth.
1t is estimated that the entire content
of workable sapphire bearing rock
would approximate 100000 cubic
yards A mining plant is now being
erected here which will quadruple
the previous output and make Mon-
tana sapphire mining a very import
ant factor in American gem produc-
tion. .r
The stones obtained are not of large
size. They range from "culls," used
for watch jewels and other mechani-
cal purposes, to gems averaging, when
cut, from half carat to two or three
carats and rarely up to five or six.
AS gems they are brilliant. free from
flaws and of good color. ranging from
light shades to the rich, deep blue of
oriental sapphires. The Yogo crystals
have an advantage for mechanical
uses over Fast Indian stones in their
form, which is largely short prsmatic
or rhombohedral with flat basal term
nations and hence they need much
less cutting for such purposes as
watch Jewels. The gems are sent to
Amsterdam for cutting, and yield
from two-fifths to one-half that
weight of finished stones.

STIMULATES BREAD TRADE.

Few people ever stop to think how
great a country this Is, and that we
are increasing our population at the
rate of 100000 wear.
For the sake OF illustration. with
out any pretense at infallibility, let
us assume that the feeling of antipa-
thy towards the packing house pro-
ducts lasts for 4 month, during which
time the people of the United States
consume on an average an extra slice
Of bread per capita per day.
This would be about two pounds of
flour a month. 1t would mean sub
stantially three pounds of wheat to
make II. There are about S4,500, 900
people In our country today. This
would be an extra consumption of
253.00O,O 900 pounds, or about 4,225. 200
bushels. Such an increase would
help the price of wheat somewhat,
and would mean more business for
the millers.
Certainly II the people of the coun-
try are going to get mad at Chicago
and turn against their principal food
product, and II they are going to get
particular about what they eat, they
could not find anything in the world
that will go so far toward taking the
place of meat as the fine white wheat
flour made in establishments so clean
that one could "eat off the floor" and
which the millers of Pendleton manu-
facture in large quantities.

State. By it's constitution and charter
the body can buy, sell and market the
crop, and it intends to better the conoi-

BLOOD CELLS.
:: -; =: $$;**;::::$:::;::|
IN HEALTH.
IN DISEASE.

Man is millionaire many times over in
the possession of blood cells. Woman is
not quite so rich, for scientists have proven
that the normal number of red blood cells
in adult men is FIVE million; in women four
and half million, to the square mllllmeter.
The normal cell is not absolutely round
in health, but, in disease, becomes ex-
tremely irregular in shape. Every one can
be in perfect health and possess the mil
lions Of rich red blood corpuscles if they
only know how to go about it. Dr. R. V.
Pierce, consulting physician to the Inva,
falo, N. Y, advises every man and woman
to prepare for long life by observing ma
lures laws. In the first place, if your
digestion is faulty, and the food you
eat is not taken up by the blood and assirn-
Hated properly, you need tonic and dlges-
tive corrector, something that will increase
the red blood corpuscles; he believes in
going about this in natures own way.
Years ago, in his active practice, he found
that an Alternative extract of certain herbs
and roots, put up without the use of alco-
hol, would put the liver, lungs and heart
into fuller and more complete action: This
medicine he called DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. By assinilating the
food eaten it nourishes the blood, and, in
stead of the ill-shaped corpuscles, the per
sons blood takes on a rich red color and
the corpuscles are more nearly round.
Nervousness is only the cry of the starved
nerves for food, and when the nerves are
fed on rich red blood the person loses
those irritable feelings, sleeps we'll at night
and feels refreshed in the morning.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.
