1t is learned from a gentleman who

no necessity for impatuous haste or
the part Of Virginia In taking q posi-
ton or, action In these cases. It is
desired to get the question OF juris-

as soon as possible but nothing would
be gained by making up case for
that court now, inasmuch as 1t could

! Court will not reconvene until that

1T would seem, therefore. that II the

DEATH OF REV. NJ. V. HOWARD.

1t is impossible to estimate the
value of such a life as that which
just passed out in the death of Rev.
M. V. Howard, the pioneer minister of
this county.
For over 40 years this man has
been preaching and uplifting the
world in every possible way within his
power. Always frank and cheerful,
always sustained by an unfaltering
faith, always buoyant and hopeful,
his presence was a benediction and
his encouragement was an inspiration
tc all who came in touch with his
life.
Coming to eastern Oregon in pio-
neer days when modern conveniences
were few and civilization scanty, he
entered into his life work with ener-
gy and zeal and always, wherever he
went, whether into the far interior
among the settlers cabins or in the
towns among the more wealthy and
well-to-do, he carried the same mes
sage of hopefulness and broad char
ity. He was benefactor of the race
whose services are beyond computa-
tion from a purely worldly stand
point.
To the influences of such men who
have been in touch with the rising
generation in oregon and the north
west, is due the sterling citizenship of
this frontier country. In the midst of
the evil influences which always flock
to new settlements and new countries,
the lives of such men as Rev. NJ. v.
Howard always stand as splendid
monuments guiding the way to higher
thinking, better living. purer ideals.

WHO OWNS THE EARTH?

Who owns the earth? Nobody owns
The earth is a production of an
Almighty Power for the use of all
mankind. That being the case, no
one human being has any right to
monopolize the earth or any portion
of it. The humblest being on earth
is as much entitled to use its resour-
ces and cultivate its natural products
as the most wealthy of his fellow in
habitants. These are facts which no
person can possibly deny without
promulgating a baldfaced falsehood.
Every sound-minded human being
must admit that one of Gods child
rem has the same right to the earth
as any other. Then why the innum-
erable claims of individual ownership
of the earth? 1t is hollow mockery,
a gross swindle, and one of the worst
frauds ever known in this queer
world.-John Dankel in San Francis
co Star.

FIELD FOR YOUNG MEN.

George H. Hines, the splendid
pioneer of the oregon Historical So
ciety, has just returned to Portland
from a trip through Coos and Curry
counties and is enthusiastic over
those counties as fields for young
men,"

portunities which are overlooked by

ing land. planting trees, grubbing
stumps, burning log piles and culti-
waiting crops and gardens.
But the young men Of Oregon will
not rush pell nell into tasks of that
kind today. There are easier ways
in which to make a living than the
way in which George H. Hines would
choose were he a young man again,
think the oregon boys of 1907. .a
There are good fields for young men
in every county in Oregon, II the boys
could but see clearly. You know II
IS said that boys do not get proper
balance until they are about 35. Then
they settle down to something steady
and begin framing up a life program.
Here in Umatllla county are excel

of them are making the most Of 1t.
There are more young men in business
In Pendleton than in any oteher town

young men and middle aged men con-
Quoting big farms and big stock

THE SAD FATE OF ST. JOSEPH.

Navigation has been looking up on
the Missouri river lately. Steamboats,
from the Gulf have lately made their
way through its tortuous winding and
over its treacherous shoals as far as
Kansas City. The spirit of a great
revival of river trade is i'm the air, all
along the Missouri. Dreams of ocean
going steamers coming up from the
Gulf by way of the Mississippi, laden
with the wealth of Europe and the
Orient. and carrying back the grain
of the northwest and the manufac-
lures of the middle west. seem to be
nearly changed to realities,
To be sure, through navigation
thus far has been slow and uncertain.
The old river captain still surviving
will have to learn the peculiarities
of the river all over again. Where
there is water they are all right, but
the mud bothers them. Time will
change all that, A new race of river
captains will be developed, if the
boats keep running long enough, and
the great inland seaports of the mid
die west will put to shame the effete
maj Illiilt CllleS VI lne coast,
Meanwhile, pity the fate of the city
of st. Joseph which has been a great
commercial center built on a bluff,
with the broad yellow Missouri laving
its feet. Alas! the Missouri is cut
ting for itself new channel two miles
away from town, with mud flats in
tervening, and unless something can
be done quickly nothing will be left
but the bluff
An appropriation of $1,0O0,O0O has
already been expended in trying TO
stop the departure of the river by a
plan which engineers condemn as fu-
tile st. Joseph will neve. be an in
land seaport unless engineering skill
can prevent the calamity, but will go
down into history as deserted town
with costly railroad bridge leading
across mud flats to nowhere.-Public
Inquirer.
