ALASKAN MTRAGES.

The most wonderful mirages ever
beheld by mortal eyes are those that
are seen in the twilight winter days
in Northern Alaska. The remarkable
ghastly pictures of things, both inn
aginary and real are mirrored on the
surface of the waste plains instead of
upon the clouds or in the atmosphere.
Mimic lakes and water courses firing
ed with vegetation are to be seen pic
tured as real as life on the surface
of the snow, while grassy mounds,
stumps. trees logs, etc, which have
an actual existence some place on the
earths surface, are outlined against
mountains of snow in all kinds OF
fantastic shapes.
Some Of these objects are distorted
and magnified into the shapes OF
huge. ungainly animals and reptiles
Of enormous proportions. The fogs
and mists are driven across these
wastes by the winds, and as the OBJ
jects referred to loom up in the flying
vapors they appear like living crea-
lures and seem to be actually moving
rapidly across the plain.
At other times they appear high ir
the air, but this is a characteristic o1
the northern mirages that are seer
near the sea shore. When the vapor'
and mists are driven out to sea the i'm
ages mirrored in them appear to bt
lunging through the waters at ter
rifle rate of speed, dashing the spray
high in the air, while huge breakers
roll over them and onward toward thu
mountainous islands beyond ant
against which they all appear to b'
, dashing.
Monstrous serpents. apparently sew
eral hundred feet long. sometime
with riders on their backs, men oi
horseback 30 to 80 feet in height, an
imals and birds of all kinds Of hor
rlble shapes and colors seem to b.

WORSHIP.
: none are old.
British Weekly.

When you think of the suffering ones
who lie
Night after night on their beds OF
pain.
Do YOU not thank God, as you hurry
by,
For the virile strength of your
hand and brain?
No matter for creed and no matter for
name
Tho you never say mass nor never
pray.
If you think your thanks-it is all
the same,
You worship God in His own dear
When YOU think of the poor, blind,
eyes that grope.
Strangers to earth and its visions OF
light
Thirsting for beauty, bereft CT hope.
All. aren't you thankful to God for
sight?
And thinking of these in their awful
need.
II you drink of the beauties that
deck your way,
And lovingly all of His marvels heed
You worship more truly than those
who pray

WHEN WE GROW OLD.

The tnllest lilies droop at eventide,
The sweetest roses fall from off the

We had our dreams, those rosy dreams
of youth!
They faded, and twas WELL This
after-prime
Hath brought us fuller hopes: and yet,
fCrsooth,
We drop a tear now in this later
time
To think we're old.
We smile at those poor fancies of the
a saddened smile; almost akin to
pain;
Those high desires, those purposes so
vast,
All, our poor hearts! They cannot

We're growing old,
Old? Well. the heavens are old; this
earth is, too;
Old wine is best, maturest fruit
most sweet;
Much have we lost, more gained, al

We tread life's way with most un-
certain feet.
We're growing old!
We move along. and scatter as we

Soft graces, tender hopes on every

At last, with gray-streaked hair ant
hollow face.

Where none are old.

No DANGER FOR STOCKMEN.

The beef trust is now making an eff
fort to ally the stockmen of the coun-
try with them, in order to check the
investigations of the rotten packing
houses. The packers try to scare the
stockmen by saying that the investi-
cation will stop the slaughter Of live
stock.
This is a bold and wilful falsehood
The world needs the livestock supply,
but it wants it in an edible condition.
When the investigation causes the
present packing house magnates to
go out of business independent houses
will spring up instantly, for the world
can not wait for its beefsteak, its pork
chops, its sausages and its canned
stuff. The demand is now up to the
limit of the supply. and the only effect
the investigation will have will be to
insure the public clean food.
The stockmen need not fear that
the investigation will injure the stock
markets This is a false alarm sent
out by the guilty and constituencies
packers to intimidate the producer
and cause him to protest to the pres
ident against the investigation.
Let every self-respecting stockman
write the president personal letter
commenting his action and urging
him to go to the bottom of the rotten
conditions.
The packers are endeavoring to use
the innocent stockman as a catspaU
to hold the president in check. The
president is not susceptible to such q
ruse. He has studied the situation
from the bottom to top and perhaps
knows as much about the markets o.
the world as the criminal packers.
The East Oregonian urges Umatillf
county stockmen to write persona
letters to the president commencing
his fearless and beneficial work in th'
interest Of humanity.
Let the law take care Of the pack
ers. They are guilty or they woulc
not squeal so loudly.

ative element. the eastern branch of
the democracy and all the other aris-
tocratic and wealthy factions,
branches. elements and coteries of the
democratic party, are now rushing to
William Jennings Bryan, as the only
logical candidate for the democratic
nomination in 1908.
Has the shaking up really touched
the boilers? Has the modern spirit
really penetrated their shells? Do
they really think this or are they SIM
ply talking shop, in order to preserve
their respectability and keep their
skirts clear of the corruption which
they have fostered and made possible
in the government, by aligning with
the enemy in the past>
Bryan is and has been one of the
strongest, broadest, most progressive
thinkers and politicians of the age
and would have been president now
had his party not been jealous of his
progress. He has lived in advance OF
a large element of the democracy, just
as Roosevelt is a century in advance
of large portion of his party.
After Roosevelt, Bryan is the mos
appropriate man for the presidency
Let Roosevelt go the limit. He is il

said in regard to the canal and its
construction:

CREMATION OF THE DEAD.

The East Oregonian believes that
the time is coming when cemeteries
as now maintained will be unknown.
Cremation is such a cleanly, health
full and simple means of disposing of
the dead. that H-seems that the logi-
cal development of a sanitary science
will demand that cremation be the
only means of disposition in time.
Think of the amount of land now
used in cemeteries, while thousands of
people are in need of homes. Think
of the diseases buried just under the
surface to be nurtured and resurrect-
ed as perpetual menaces to health
Fully half the epidemios which now
ravage the country may be traced tc
cemeteries.
1t is argued that cremation is so ex-
pensive that only the rich can afford
it, This is no barrier. The time is
coming when the state, the city ol
county government will provide ere
nation at cost for every individual
No trust will be allowed to stand be

"ENIBAL,IED BEEF SCANDAL.
What General Miles Said After the
Spanish War and the "Nhitewash."

W nat ttiltrdl Mics Sdlu AItcf tnc
Spanish War and the "Whitewash."
The first statement made by Gen
eral Miles that the beef supplied to
the soldiers in Cuba and Porto Rico
in the Spanish-American war was un-
fit for food was before the Dodge in
vestigation commission In Washing
ton December 81. 1898, in which he
characterized the refrigerator beef
sent to Porto Rico as being "embalm-
ed beef" In the Investigations which
followed this expression became fa-
nous
General Miles gave an interview in
Cincinnati December 22, 1898, In
which he said that the beef sent to
Cuba was equally as bad as that sup
piled in Porto Rico. Asked about the
use of chemicals for preserving the
beef. he said:
81 believe that the action Of these
chemicals was largely responsible for
the sickness in the army. have med
ical authority for this statement and
I believe 1t Is true"
The court of inquiry, which made Its
report May s. 1899, found that Cen
eral Miles was right when he said the
canned beef was unsuitable for food
but that "the charge that the refrig.
| orator beef was chemically treated
was unfounded." IT was found thai
''the commanding general had mo-
sufficient justification for alleging
that the refrigerator beef was EN-
balmed." 1t was also found that "th'
packers were not at fault" and tina
the meat supplied to the army wal
/ the same as was sold to the genera
| trade.
The current Investigations In tn,
Chicago packing houses prove that th'
charges of General Miles in 1898 wer'
very mild, and that the true cause o
so much sickness among troops a
Tampa, Chickamauga and in Cubs
and Porto Rico, was the poisoned
beef furnished the army.
