TWO ANGELS OF PROGRESS.

Water and electricity are the an
gels of Progress which are lowering
close to the west, lifting it out of its
idleness into utility.
Wherever a stream pours down.
ward to the sea these twin forces are
at work Nature has prepared the
way for them. They will reclaim the
soil and span the deserts with bands
of steel, linking the isolated districts
with the commercial centers, and
making it possible for settlers to PEN
citrate into the fartherest remote cor
ner of the once waste places.
Umatilla county feels the presence
of these angels of Progress. The very
air is thrilling with the promise of
development. Could the thin veil
which hides the future be torn aside
for an instant that the present might
see what Il in store in che future, it
would oe a dazzling prospect.
The idle streams converted into in
struments of usefulness. Homes
reared in the desert, car fines carry
ing the products of farm, garden and
.orhcard to the markets. People of
the far corners of the county within
an hours ride OF the county seat and
boat lines speeding down the Colum-
bia from the new areas of cultivated
land in the inland empire. carrying
the products to the markets of the
world.
As this prospect unfolds, Umatills
county will have her large share in it
The irrigated land which was consid
cred worthless three years ago, /:
now producing three and four crop:
of alfalfa. The same desert tract!
oyer which the pioneers rode in dis
gust are now producing peaches
grapes. clover, gardens and crops o
every description.
The program of development is un
folding daily. 1t is opening the gate
of the newer age so gently, so imper
ceptibly that we do not realize 1t, bu
the movement is going OF night an
day.
Capital, energy, foresight, virile ac
tivity will change the map of orego
within an incredibly short time. An
no place in Oregon will be change
more happily than Umatilla count!
where arid land and water are await
ing the day of their wedlock.

UNwELCOME GUESTS

The whales huge body forms "A con-
venient camping ground for innumer-
able smaller animals, and sometimes
they are a source of great annoyance
to their host. The whales try to get
rid of them by rolling In the sand IN
shallow water or rubbing themselves
on reefs, and one of them once made
use of the sharp plate which projects
from a bilge keel for this purpose.
The boat was lying off the coast
of Brazil when a continued tremor,
varied by bumps, was felt. Soon n
huge whale rose slowly out OF the
water alongside the boat and the
tremor ceased. 1t descended and the
tremor was again felt. Then the crew
noticed barnacles and shellflsh coming
to the surface, and the secret was out.
The whale had been using the ves-
sells bilge as a back scratcher.
But the captain did not care for
such neighbors, and before the huge
creature could resume his toilet a
shower Of potatoes and coal fell
around him. He paid no attention to
the missiles until a piece of coal went
into his mouth. Then he turned tail
and steamed away, having first spout
ed flood of sea water over the
steamer.

TAFT AND "rHE SOLID NORTH

Secretary of War w. II. Taft has
been in the south lecturing against
the evils of the "solid SOUTH"
But ii is not recorded that Taft has
shed any tears over the evils of the
solid north"
In order to protect themselves
against negro domination the white
people of the south vote solidly to-
gether, and perhaps will always con-
tinue TO do so as long as the menace
of the negro is present in that sec
ton.
1t is merely matter of self-pro-
lection. 1t is in defense of their civil
liberties and their homes. should the
whites of the south divide on paltry
issues and give the negroes an oppor-
tunity to come into power, the result
would be appalling, Taft knows this,
but he is such a blind partisan that
he makes an ass of himself lecturing
against the policy of the white south
erners to protect their homes and
families.
Why don't Taft attack a real evil
in the solid north? Why don't he go
into Rhode Island and Massachusetts,
where legislators are parcelled out to
the trusts as so many cattle, branded,
tagged, labeled and with price af-
fixed, for use in passing trust laws?
Tom Lawson says the legislature of
Massachusetts, is regularly bought and
sold by the corporations, without a
blush or pang of remorse. The
people are helpless. They elect these
tools and deliver them body and soul
to the trusts which own the state.
Each member of the legislature in
that state, Lawson says, has price
and every lobbyist knows what this
price is, and prepares his Doodle ac-
cordingly. There is no question about
buying the legislature of that good
old republican state-it Is merely a
matter of having the right price ac-
cording to the listed value of the var
| ious members.
Here is a real issue for Mr.. Taft il
he really desires to serve the people
The trust-cursed states of the east
need fearless men who will demand
emancipation for the common people
The south is all right. 1t is develop
/ ing in its own way and is making
rapid strides, but the trust rule Of
the north is really becoming men
ace to free institutions.
Why don't Taft go where his serv
ices are needed?

tion over the democratic party, on the
last day of congress- and in reply Con-
grcssman Gaines. of Tennessee, recit-
ed an old poem entitled, "When De-

rounds of applause and gave the laugh
to Cushman, who started the fun. The
poem is as follows;
When the lion eats grass like an OK
And the fishworm swallows the
whale;
When the terrapin knits wooden socks
And the hare is outrun by the snail;
When serpents walk upright like men,
And doodle bugs travel like frogs;
When the grasshopper feeds on the
hen.
And feathers are found on hogs:
When Thomas cats swim in the air.
And elephants roost upon trees;
When insects i'm summer are rare,
And snuff never makes people
sneeze:
When the fish creeps over dry land
And mules on velocipedes ride:
When foxes lay eggs in the sand,
And women in dress take no pride
When Dutchmen no longer drink beer
And girls get to preaching on time
When the billy goat butts from tht
rear,
And treason no longer is crime;
When the hummingbird brays like al
ass,
And limhurger smells like cologne
When plowshares are made out o
glass.
And hearts of Tenneseeans ar
stone:
| When sense grows in republican
heads
And wool on the hydraulic ram;
Then the democratic party will b
dead,

His dignity will not be ruffled by as
sociation with common land thieves

No fearful prayer for peace denied.

No sense of fallen worth and pride
No feverish search Of Letha's tide
Eut from their lips contentmeni

The hope Of endless better things;
