struggles not only between the rail
ways, but between numerous water
lines, aud the conditions Of domestic
and foreign markets. This adjust
ment rests upon basis so complicated
that the disturbance of 1t at one point
must almost necessarily create dis
turbance at numerous Others.
'Is it possible, then, for any SIN
gle tribunal sitting in Washington to
decide upon the revision or readjust-
ment of relative rates, with such wis
dom aud comprehension as not to Gre
ate a hundred complaints In their
efforts to remove oneY
. "It has been claimed that rates have
been largely raised during the past
few years by changes Of classification
or by increase in the rates themselves.
While some specific cases of increased
rates alleged to be unjust have been
cited in the testimony now before
Congress, they have not been numer-
ous. The chief support of the claim
has been the slight increase OF less
than I ur.tenths of mill per ton per
mile on the average tonnage OF the
entire country from 1899 to 1903, as
shown in a response by the lnteIt ate
Commerce Commission to resolution
of the Senate, now on record as sen.
ate Document 257. The weakness aud
fallacy Of the arguments there rre
sented have been so thoroughly ex-
posed before the Senate Committee
that need say only a word to en-
phagiZe the iniustice of asking for
large and dangerous increase Of power
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion upon such plea"

MlllIonalre,s Poor Stomach.

The worn-out stomach OF the over-fed
millionaire is often paraded in the pub
lie prints as a horrible example Of the
evils attendant on the possession OF great
wealth, But millionaires are not the
only ones afflicted with bad stomachs.
The proportion is far greater among the
toilers. dyspepsia and indigestion are
rampant among these people, and they
suffer far worse tortures than the mil
lionare unless they avail themselves OF
a standard medicine like Green's Au-
gust Flower, which has been favorite
household remedy for all stomach trou-
bles for over thirty five years August
Flower rouses the torpid liver, thus Gre
ating appetite and insuring perfect di-
Iestion. 1t tones and vitaliges the en-

Oreg0n,s Prnne Crnn.

In 1903 the crop was so large, follow
ing a heavy crop IN 1902, that prices
were affected II over the world. For
example, in 1892 the California crop
amounted to 1877 millions of pounds,
in 1903 it was l65 millions, while in
1904 it fell to l25 millions aud for 1905
1t has assumed the normal yield of
SO millions of pounds, This then is
whatsOregon ran against in the year
1903, and accounts very largely for the
great reduction in Prices received in
that year Since 1909 prices have
been gradually rising until this year,
1905, 1t Is safe to say that the average
price II over the state of Oregon and
Washington has reached from four
and one half to five cents per pound.
When the state of Oregon began to
produce prunes in 1894 and 1896 the
United States was importing IA, 3E2, :

OREGON'S PRISON IS
IN GOOD CONDITION.

Oregon has had a penitentiary since
1851. The first state prison was Iocat-
ed at Portland, and in 1870 1t was re-
moved to Salem,
Since the establishment of the pris-
on there have been about $3.50 Ie-
ceived and receipted for. On Christ
mas day, week ago yesterday, when
the repor er who is writing this artis
Gle visited the institution, there were
406 inmates, 404 OF them serving sen
tences and two condemned men wait
ing death sentence, but both cases
being on appeal to The supreme court.
Uuder new law all death penalties
are executed at the state prison. OF
the 404 prisoners, three were women.
This is not high water mark. There
we're Ala prisoners here October II,
when the United States prisoners we're
transferred. No United ,States priso-
ners are now kept here.
The penitentiary has 283 acres Of
decided land. On account Of the fact
that one tract il too far distant, that
good deal Of II Is occupied hy the
windings of Mill creek, and by ythe
buildings, grounds and brick yard,
less than 200 acres are IN cultivation.
The authorities rent 200 acres In adj.
dition, and practically all the vegeta
bles used here ire raised on this Jess
than 400 acres Of land. Also most Of
the fruit. The present management
has bought some potatoes, but that Is
all. !.
The stove foundry employs now,
about 1870 Of the men. Some 55 have,
been worked on the public roads.
Over 6000 days work has been put
on the Marion county public roads
during the past year--to be exact,
just 6464 days work. Besides this,
good deal of work has been done on
the road between the Institution and
the asylum, and on other nearby
roads, and in putting crushed rock
around the institution While the
improvements we're being made there,
ten to twelve men we're worked at the
state fair grounds.
A great deal Of work has also been
done by the prisoners In helping with
the work of putting new roof on the
shops, a new floor In the shops build
ings, new flume for water power,
inside the walls, and new walks
throughout the grounds. Some sI2,
000 have been expended in these inn
provements, besides the labor of the
prisoners. A large number of the
prisoners are Of course, employed in
tending the stock, milking, cooking,
sweeping, laundry work, making and
mending clothes and shoes, ETC., In
the endless details of caring for the
small army of men always on hand. =

RESIDENTS IN DIST. 3
I'M FAVOR OF CRUSHER

The recent defeat of the plan to
purchase rock erusher in district
No. 3 has brought a number of the
residents of that district to the de-
fense of the action Of the majority
who attended the meeting and voted
against 1t.
1t is claimed by them that the pur-
chase of crusher by district 3, which
could only have use for it about two
months in the year, without some
binding agreement with the other dis
triets in the valley, could very easily
result in this district being saddled
with the entire expense Of the ma
chine. 1t Is thought that If the
crusher should not prove the success
it is expected TO that it would be very
unlikely that the other districts would
vote to pay their share of the expense.
One man in speaking Of the question
cited the instance Of the erusher that
was bought by the county, half of the
money for which was furnished by
Hood River aud from which Hood
River has never received any benefit
whatever.
fContinuing, the gentleman said that
he could say positively that he knew
that a majority of the taxpayers in
district 3 where in favor of having
rock crusher. That he had talked the
matter over with a number of them
and that they we're all in favor of it,
but they thought that 1t was only just
that the rest of the districts and the
town of Hood River should pay their
share Of the expense Of 1t. He said,
too, that some of those who had voted
again it IL we're uninformed as to the
fact that there was plenty of rock In
the district with which to supply a
crusher. Since then they had inVes-
tigated and found that there was
abundant materia' for this purpose
both In Willow Flat and in Dukes
Valley. II. W. Angus also offers to
furnish any Quantity of rock loaded
wagons at his place
j. ii, Shoemaker, who opposed the
project at the meeting, said that he
did 30 simply because he did not
think that this district should assume
any more burdens at present than
were actually necess ry AMI for that
reason he voted against it. He said,
however, that he was in favor OF the
crusher, provided the other districts
and the city could be brought into
line for 1t. He said that the district
had bad roads and had the material
with which to 1x them, If it only had
the machine TO do ii with, and he
hoped to sec a rock crusher at work
in the valley bef ire the end Of the
new year. With this end In Wow he
selecting three representa-
tive men from each district and hold
ing a meeting to discuss the best plan
of securing one Of these much needed
Others who we're asked their opin-
ion on the matter thought that 3
meeting of this kind was step in
the right direction and that more
could be accomplished in this way
than any other. They thought that
such d meeting would give each dis
trict an opportunity to present their
views on the matter and that the best
plan Of procedure could thus be se-
cured.

PAYS TO FIGHT FRUIT
PESTS AT ALL SEASONS

A timely article appears in the East
Oregonian on lighting fruit pests,
The article is inspired by the fact
that many new orchards have been set
out In Umatilla county recently, and
1t urges the growers of that county to
commence to for their trees while
they are still free of insects. This pa
per says:
There is no time Of the year when
1t does not pay to Eight fruit pests.
Ii is with fruit pests as with oonsump-
tion in the human sysfem--a eontin-
uous, tireless warfare must be made
upon 1t. No relaxation of vigilance
must be suffered, for every time you
take your hand from the sword the
enemy gains step on you.
If Umatilla county expects to hold
the high position she now occupies as
fruit producing district and expects
to increase and strengthen her posi-
tion in the markets she must produce
clean, Who'll some, unquestioned fruit
She cannot compete with first class
fruits If she produces second grade
article, She cannot guarantee her
product IL she does not know abso-
lutely that it is pure and untainted.
And II she cannot guarantee it, how
can she expect to gain front place
among fruit producersg
Umatllla county stands ut the head
of the list of eastern Oregon counties
as a fruit producer. Climate, soil,
transportation facilities and every
thing needed is favorable. There is
no reason why her fruit production
should not be doubled, and If II Is
doubled ii must be absolutely clean
If 1t demands what it is actually
worth in the markets Of the world.
Ii is shame to permit the insidi.
Gus fruit pests to Invade the new
young orchards just now turning into
the full flush of maturity, 1t Is a
shame to permit the pests to creep
into the rich irrigated sections now
being opened up.
Within five years the fruit growing
area of the county should, and per.
haps will be trebed. New land is be.
ing brought under cultivation and ev-
cry foot of it in peach, pear, sprune,
apple and cherry land. Let us check
the Iavages of the pests before they
reach the fresh young orchards. Lot
us fight ceaselessly to stamp out the
cruise aud place Umatilla ON the list
as one untainted district from which
come only pure, wholesome fruits.
1t win be the greatest advertisement
ever issued from the county.

Rough may be the mountain road
Leading TO the heights Of mind.

He who aims not to be wise
Thinks unworthy Of his race;

Never mourn the dPys of old
Time will not tombed years restore us,

Hearts that struggle, souls despised,
Work your own high destiny;
All things yield to steadfast will;

Onward at the sound we thrill;

During the Civil War Rock Island
was called into unexpected service At
the very outbreak of hostilities the
island suggested itself as a suitable
place to care for the prisoners Of war,
and extensive barracks were construct
ed, with a hospital, officers quarters
and other necessary buildings. OyeI
10000 confederate prisoners were con-
fined there.
Horace was indeed wise when be
counseled to prepare for war in times
OF peace, but that advice was disre-
garded and when, In 1898, war was
declared with Spain, 1t found us un-
prepared, but the Rock Island Arsenal
promptly responded to the call. The
force of workmen was increased from
500 to nearly 5000, and the necessary
articles were poured out in like pro-
portion. Even then 1t was ia days
before the soldiers could be MADE
ready for action.
Had Spain been In a position to take
advantage of the delay, our victory
might have been less decisive.
1t Is not the object Of the arsenal
to encourage war, but to prepare fOr
1t when 1t becomes inevitable; In tne
words OF Washington ITO be pre-
pared for war Is the most efectuai
means of preserving peace. -Four
