INJUSTICE TO THE WEST.

While the government of the
Unfned States is founded upon the
Wisest and most practical plan known
10 man at the time of its organiza-
tOn the passing years develop many
injustices to certain sections and in
terests.
This week Congressman Ellis has
been over the Interior of oregon max
ing an effort to visit every one of the
16 big counties in his congressional
district before leaving for Washing
tor to attend the session of congress.
His district comprises about $1,000
square miles and is one of the largest
districts represented in congress.
It has required thousands of miles
of travel for him to cover this vast
territory and even after visiting every
county which he hopes to do before
leaving for washington, he will have
seen but a small proportion of the
people and will have necessarily over
looked many important local mat
teds which need attention in con-
gress.
And yet Rhode Island, with an
area of but 1850 square miles
less than any one of the 16 counties
In the eastern oregon district with
its total of $1,000 square miles, has
two congressman. It has more voice
in congress than all of eastern Ore
gun. II is devoted to its own local
interests which are entirely foreign
To those Of eastern Oregon, except in
a general way, and its two congress-
men are almost entirely ignorant Of,
or at least disinterested in the press
ing needs Of this section of the coun-
try.
No wonder the west has been re-
tarded in its logical development. No
wonder western senators and con-
gressmen have talked without avail,
for years about western needs. No
wonder western people have been
denied that condition of civilization
which is justly theirs under free
government and a union of states for
mutual protection and development.

The
General Demand

of the Well-Informed Of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant
and efficient liquid laxative remedy Of
known value; laxative which physi.-
clans could sanction for family use
because its component parts are
known to them to be wholesome and
truly beneficial in effect, acceptable
to the system and gentle, yet prompt,
in action.
In supplying that demand with its
excellent combination of Syrup of
Figs and Elixir Of Senna, the Cali.
fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies on the merits
of the laxative for its remarkable
success.
That is one Of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is
given the preference by the Well
Informed. To get its beneficial effects
always buy the genuine-manufac
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,
only, and for sale by all leading
druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle

The encouragement which a sue
ccssful cooperative enterprise in
spires is especially noticeable in the
experience of three California towns,
Tulare, Manteca and Upton. In
each Of these towns a Rochdale Co
operative store was organized and
Tulare followed with a creamery a
cooperative meat company and a
Farmers Cooperative Insurance
company Manteca now has
Roachdale meat company and a CO.

cooperative enterprises promises to
be widely duplicated in a large num-

NEGLECTED INDUSTRIES.

At the recent district fair in this
city 1t was made known to the public
that absolutely no farmers any
where in the south part of Umatilla
county are raising apples for COM
merc.a! purposes, although specimens
Of the finest apples ever seen in the
city were contained in the Pilot Rock
exhibit which was gathered from the
Birch creek district.
At the district fair at The Dalles
this week, 1t was learned that but few
il any, large vineyards were in culti-
vation in that section, although the
grape exhibit rivals the California
grape in color, flavor, size and rich
ness.
Why are these industries neglected
in such favorable districts? If 10
apple trees will produce world-beat-
ing fruit on Birch creek, why will not
10000 trees do the same thing? Why
is not apple growing a leading and
highly profitable industry there?
If grapes rivaling the California
product can be grown about The
Dalles, why are there not thousands
of acres in productive vineyards in
that vicinity?
Surely the price of apples and
grapes in the markets justifies the
investment in these industries and the
markets have a perpetually untitled
nav. The favored spots are few and
it seems that those which are favored
by nature. those in which nature has
planted the requisite soil forces, sur
rounded with a merciful climate,
should be producing to the utmost
limit.
The non-productive country is so
great that it will overtax the produc-
tive countries to supply the demand.
Let us plant the -Tutuilla foothills
in apple orchards. Let us make vine
yards in our favored spots. Why
should we wait for a new generation
or a foreign population to reap the
luxuriant promises of our own coun-
try?

THE COLUMBIA RIVER SPIRIT.

II anybody thinks the opening Of
the Columbia river to navigation from
the mouth to the farthest limit. is
dead or dying issue, he should read
the accounts Of the enthusiastic meet
ing at The Dalles on October 8, and
get the Columbia river spirit.
After 40 years Of work and agita-
tion and self-sacrifice and abuse, DR..
N. G. Blalock Of walla walla was
there, fresh and vigorous, overflow
ing with open river enthusiasm, ready
10 continue the fight until the great
highway is filled with boats.
There is such a thing as the Colum-
bia river spirit Nothing short Of
such a spirit could inspire men to la
Dor thus long for what at many times
has seemed TO be a forlorn hope.
The reports Of the Open River
Transportation company, showing
the work done, the money received
and the results accomplished in the
construction Of the portage road and
the installation Of boats, was receiv-
ed with greater enthusiasm than was
possible two or three or four years
ago.
Every delegate testified that inter-
est is increasing in every section Of
the northwest. that legislatures and
commercial clubs, and cities and
counties and individuals are enthus-
ed with the open river spirit and that
1t is the common issue from one end
Of the great river TO the other.
Although the work is 40 years old,
yesterday seemed a new beginning.

Nor care for wind, or tide, or sea;
! rave no more 'gainst time or fate,
For lol my own shall come to me.
stay my haste, l make delays.
For what avails this eager pace?
| stand amid the ternal ways,
And what is mine shall know by face.
Asleep, awake, by night or day,
The friends l seek are seeking me;
No wind can drive my bark stray,
Nor change the tide of destiny.
What matter If l stand alone:
wait with joy the coming years;
My heart shall reap where it has
sown,
And garner up its fruit % tears.
The waters know their own. and draw
The brook that springs in yonder
height;
So flows the good with equal law
Unto the soul Of pure delight.
The floweret nodding IN the wind
Is ready plighted to the bee;
And, maiden, why that look unkind
For 10! thy lover seeketh thee.
The stars come nightly TO the sky;
The tidal wave unto the sea;
Nor time, nor space, nor deep. nor
high,
Can keep my own away from me.

Men took hold with more willingness
and vim, the subject was handled
without gloves. II was grasped and
dissected ably and vigorously and the
result OF the meeting at The Dalles
will have greater weight In opening
the great rivers than any former eff
fort.
The East Oregonian is glad to note
that Umatilla county stands well to-
ward the head OF the list OF contrib
utors to the open river fund, the sum
sent in cash from this county being
$21OO, while Nez Peree county Idaho
headed the list with but $500. Aside
from Umatillas donation, the tax
payers OF this county, as in other Ore
gon counties, have borne their share
OF the legislative appropriation for
the portage.

PRICES AND PROFITS.

The La Grande Observer in COM
pairing the prices of land under the
Umatilla irrigation project with
those in Grand Ronde valley, seeks
TO divert attention from the excellent
promise for homeseekers on the UNA
tilla project.
1t says that while land under the
Umatilla project will cost the settler
perhaps s65 per acre, with perpet-
ual water right, yet land in Grand
Ronde valley can be purchased for
$50 to $45 per acre. But the OBJ
server does not compare profits from
these two sections.
The land under the Umatilla pro-
ject is worth from 5000 to $500 per
acre the moment water is turned upon
it, on account Of the fact that it car
ries a perpetual, inalienable water
right, is situated at an altitude of but
400 feet, on the main line of railroad
and on the Columbia river, in a cli-
amet having more days of sunshine
every year than Los Angeles enjoys,
The profits from the irrigated land
will run all the way from $500 to
$1,000 per acre per year, according
to the care and culture, while the
Grand Ronde valley land will do well
to yield $3.50 to $3.50 per year, at the
most The comparison will not "hold
water"

CAN'T INTERFERE
YET IN CENTRAL
AMERICAN WAR

Washington, March 29.-The mo-
ment has not yet arrived when Amer
lea and Mexico can intervene to stop
the spread of war in Central Amer
lea. This was the decision arrived
at the state department yesterday.
The secretary also had the benefit
of advices received by diplomatic rep
resentatives of the Central American
states from their own governments.
The absence of definite information
from the seat of trouble is embarras-
sing to the Oldcials who are DESTROYS
of bringing about peace. 1t is feared
that the troops of the Bonilla govern
ment in Honduras and the conse-
quent installation of a provisional
government in accord with that of
Nicaragua will result in a combined
attack by them upon other Central
American republics. Apprehension
of such movement was greatly
alarmed all the other states and 1t
is said that Central America after
an unusually long term of peace is
now being rapidly turned into an
armed camp in readiness to repel
attack from any quarter. 1t is said
there is no disposition on the part OF
this government to act the part OF
policemen toward those sister re-
rublics, but it would welcome any
proper opportunity to restore peace.
