hand labor are largely employed. Ar
gentina, according to consular reports,
employs but few really modern meth
DDS. Few If any regular combined
harvesters are found in all the vast
stretches of that wheat country.
1t remains for this splendid plateau
lying between the Cascades and the
Rocky mountains to introduce new
features in harvest and to bring har-
vesting up to an art,
1t would be impossible to secure la
Dor to harvest Umatilla's immense
crop this season with stationary
threshers and hand labor. 1t would
not be possible to find men enough
to run half the required number of
machines.
But now five men on a combined
harvester do the work formerly done
by 25 with stationary machine.
No more merry threshing times on
the farm, as of yore, when the neigh
Dor women came in and helped cook,
wait on tables and wash dishes! No
more weeks of pastry cooking in
preparation for the long expected
coming of the thresher and no more
the exchange of hands" from farm to
farm, as in the early days of the
wheat sections.
Now each farm conducts its own
harvest. The big mess wagon, long
and wide as a settlers cabin and
equipped with all modern kitchen
conveniences, follows the great ma
chine from field to field and where
the machine stops at sundown, there
is the mess wagon, with supper
steaming hot. As far as the work in
the farm home is concerned now, the
housewife does not know when har-
vest comes or goes.
From sun till sun the great drive
goes on, stopping only long enough
to eat and sleep, until finally the last
proud rank of the wheat legions is
laid low, and over the vast fields lie
the silent heaps of wheat sacks, like
fallen soldiers on a skirmish line.

SHORT CIRCUIT DESTRUCTION.

For the first time since the intro
duction of high power currents for
running heavy trains, the public re-
Gently had a demonstration on the
New York Central viaduct at 129th
street and Park avenue, of what de-
struction is possible when this power
full current of electricity is short cir
cuited. .tS
Those who dared approach within
a block of the fire saw streams OF
molten iron and copper pouring down
into the street like so much water, and
saw the heavy iron pipes, wires and
steel rails melted into a hot white
fluid as If they were made of wax.
Then came the roar of an explo-
sion. Women screamed and men tum-
bled over one another to get out of
the way. On the station platform
some darted down stairways and
others lodged behind piles of trunks
terry in action.
There is no woodwork on the via
duct except the ties. that are imbed
ded in some ballast, but five seconds
after the first report the entire struc-
ture, for block, appeared to be blaz-
ing and a huge cloud Of smoke rolled
| down into the street. Then stream

pavement. At first no one could make
out what it was. group of boys

larger until the street was fairly
| flooded with liquid iron and copper.
| Incessant roar of explosions, together
with the dense smoke and wild shouts,
caused the greatest excitement. For
a time the scene was one of panic.
Horses, with heavy loads, became un-
| manageable, women ran out of the
shops crying Historically.
! For half an hour the destroying
current had its own way, melting the
conduits and wires from 125th street
to 12Sth street, bespattering the pave
ment with a coating of metal. Fire
men dared not turn on a stream, fear
| ing that the water would act as a
| conductor and cause them to be elec-
trocuted. There was nothing to be
done in the way of controlling the
powerful element until the current
could be turned off at the power
house, and that required fully 80
minutes.
When the current was at last turn
ed off the explosions ceased instantly
and the flames disappeared. For a
few minutes the red hot iron gloom
ed, the molten metal quivered in
pools. and then the smoke lifted and
the firemen went to work.
For three blocks the rails were not
melted, they were twisted into all
sorts of shapes. Here and there the
current partly melted the steel
beams of the viaduct and the four
| inch iron tubes that had carried some
of the wires were almost entirely con-
sumed. In the street the asphalt
pavement was melted in places where
the streams of liquid metal had fallen
| upon 1t.

The Pendleton Tribune takes it to
heart seriously because the East Ore
gonian passed few not uncompli-
mentary remarks on Editor Harvey
Scott, of the Portland Oregonian, a
beautiful and lovable old gentleman
of the old school. Uncle Harvey is
amply able to take care of his side
of the question, should he condescend
to notice the remark of the East Ore
gonian, which is not at all likely.
Anyway, much of the awful roar
which the Tribune hears in Uncle
Harvey's heavy editorials on the vital
issues of government, is only the
bass drum thunder Of the stage and
much of the flashing light of oratory
is but the red fire glare of party en-

THE GREAT DRIVE BEGINS.

This week 1t is estimated that the
hum Of the entire battery Of $50 COM
bined harvesters of Umatilla county
will begin. For the past two weeks
the intermittent whirr of the prelimi-
naries has been heard, but the central
battery is now in motion and the cur
rent will not be shut off until the
5000, ,00o-bushel crop is garnered.
Two hundred and fifty machines,
pulled by an average Of 26 horses
each, or a grand total OF $500 head of
work horses 1t is enough horses for
an army. Circling round after round,
about the great white fields of wheat,
this tramping army forms one of the
most picturesque panoramas Of Ore

More miles are Travelled and more
horses are employed in harvest in
Umatilla county than in any other two
or three counties in the state. This
magnificent scene is worth a tour

THE LITTLE ROADS.

The little roads go up and down
Among the valleys and the hills,
They skirt the fields of green and
brown,
They wind beside the singing rills,
And forest trees beside them lean
And reach their boughs to those
across
Aud shake their leaves as though they
mean
A mythical salute to toss.
The little roads-we see them when
We whirl along the ways of steel,
And haunts of peace afar from men
The winding little roads reveal;
We see the elderbrush in bloom,
The wild rose flaming through the
trees
And pungent breaths of wild perfume
Are waited to us on the breeze.
And now and then we see roof
Half hidden in a sea of green
AS though the house would hold aloof
From all things hard of heart and
mean,
~hiiu ANouAie " lhN iiouSV VIC ott
A little road that seems to know
The fellowship of bird and bee
And of the goodly things that grow.
The little roads-for one and all
They have their summons and their
lure.
Their dust wreaths rise and leap and
fall,
Their charm is one that will endure;
At dawn, or noon, or in the dusk,
When crickets sing their twilight
odes
In mingled scents of mint and musk
We know the call of little roads.
The city's streets are broad and bare.
The city's streets are straight and
long
Ho, from the little roads somewhere
Still murmurs an insistent song.
And We would fain go trudging down
AS vagrants having no abodes
Save shadowed places far from town
Along the winding little roads.

NO TERRoRs IN PRISON LIFE.

There has been more progress made
i'll alleviating the conditions of con-
victs in the states of Oregon and
Washington in the past two or three
years, than perhaps in any other state
institutions.
Under the new parole law in force
in both states, convicts may be releas-
ed after reasonably we'll behaved
term in prison, no matter how long
the sentence. Social and literary
clubs, brass bands, debating societies
and other diversions are allowed and
encouraged, and soon 1t will be pleas
anter to live in a state penitentiary
than outside, for the reason that the
state furnishes the food and clothing
and there is no responsibility what
ever, on the prisoner.
1t is questionable whether these at
tempts to make more pleasant the
lives of convicts is best for society.
Prisons are not primarily places of
amusement and pleasure. They are
maintained as penal institutions, and
il all the delights and comforts of life
are to be found there, it is true that
large proportion of convicts will find
some means of living there practically
all of their lives.

HOW IDAHO TAKES THE VERDICT

The Boise Statesman, which is a
representative of the conservative citi-
zenship of Idaho, sums up briefly the
manner in which Idaho receives the
Haywood verdict. 1t says:
The Statesman, in common with the
great mass of the people, regrets that
the trial of William D. Haywood for
the murder of former Governor Frank
Steunenberg resulted as it did.
The verdict came as a great sur
prise, as it had not been supposed
such a conclusion would be reached
even the defense, according to the best
information obtainable, hoping for
nothing more than hung jury.
But the case has been decided by an
Idaho jury under the facts as they
found them and the law as laid down
by the court, and it is the duty of all,
as in all cases fairly and fully submit
ted to our constituted tribunals of JUS
tice. to accept the result in that spirit
of loyalty to our courts which is a
necessary attitude of mind on the part
of citizens of the republic if our rights
are to be protected and peace and or
der and good will are to reign.
The next duty of the state is to pro-
ceed at the proper time to bring the
other accused men to trial to deter
mine whether they are innocent or
guilty under the law.
That has been already determines d
upon, and in due time we shall know
whether Charles H. Meyer and George
A. Pettibone are to be subjected to
punishment or returned to their
homes and friends free of the charge
against them.
The state thus maintains its dignity
and discharges the duty laid upon 1t
to probe all crimes to the bottom in
order that, in so far as 1t can accom-
plish such result, protection of life
and property shall be assured to all
classes of its citizens.

The vicious element in the Western
Federation Of Miners will now be
more defiant than ever, since the
Haywood verdict of acquittal and an
attempt will be made to idolize Hay
wood on the lecture platform. Sensi-
BILE and thoughtful socialists who real
ly believe in social progress will do
well to cut loose from Haywood and
his ilk. The ghost OF the murdered
Steunenberg, an innocent man, would
stand beside him on every lecture
platform.

"I grew weary" he said, "of hear
