There has been some talk lately,
of times becoming tighter, but there
is aosolutly no room for that talk.
Wheat and cotton are soaring IN
price, and the trade between this
country ind Germany and France
alone. has increased fro m $3.50, 900,
900 to 500, 100000. The prosperity
we are now enjoying will probably
last for ten or fifteen years without
a check. We are producing enorm-
ous crops and our mines are yielding
large outputs of gold and silver and
other valuable minerals, all of
which find a ready market. With
these facts to support our prosperity
and famine in other lands, it looks
as thongh our volume of business
would make new record this year.

MORTUARY TABLES OUTLINED.

Some strange stories come from a
Winsted, Conn, newspaper correspon-
dent. one of these sent recently to
the New York World follows: "Wil-
liam C. Phelps, who died last week
in his Tooth year. outlived the mortu-
ary tables of a Connecticut life insur-
ance company in which he carried a
$500 policy. In March, 1S49, Mr..
Phelps took out a policy. payable to
his heirs at death, anticipating his
birthday in September by using the
age at which he would then have at
tanned.
At the anniversary last month OF
the issue of the policy the company
informed Mr.. Phelps that he had
reached the age at which all the
tables used in calculating premiums
ended, and it was ready to pay the
face of the policy, with the last years
dividend. The proper papers were ex'
ecuted and the company paid the
money to him, remarking that it wa!
the first experience of the kind in it!

WELCOME OMAHA.

One hundred business men of
Omaha, Neb., will visit Pendleton for
an hour, tomorrow.
An hour is a short time in which to
become acquainted, but lifelong
friendships may be rooted in that
brief time and Pendleton welcomes
Omaha to her gates, even though it
be but to say "good morning" and
good byel"
Pendleton needs what Omaha pro-
duces and Omaha needs Pendleton
products and SO an interchange, or
m increased interchange, may be ben
eficial.
While Omaha is sending goods, by
Wholesale, to Pendleton merchants
che might also send her surplus pop
ulation to Umatilla county to become
permanent settlers here. A word Of
direction and advice from the Omaha
Commercial club, which will be rep
resented in the excursion tomorrow
would be sufficient to send hundreds
Of good citizens from Nebraska to Or.

After the Omaha excursionists visi
Pendleton and Umatilla county, lie
us hope they can cheerfully give tina

THE VOICES OF THE PRAIRIE.

"a Kansas girl is spending her va
cation out in California and she is
homesick. The poem which she sent
home is as follows:)
Surfeited here with beauty, and the
sensuous sweet perfume
Borne in from a thousand gardens
and orchards of orange bloom
Awed by the silent mountains, and
stunned by the breakers roar
The restless ocean pounding and tug
ging away at the shore
lie on the warm sand beach and hear
above the cry of the sea,
The voice of the prairie, calling,
Calling me.
Sweeter to me than the salt sea spray,
the fragrance of summer rains;
Nearer my heart than the mighty hills
are the wind-swept Kansas
plains.
Dearer the sight of a shy wild rose
by the roadside's dusty way,
Than all the splendor of poppy-fields,
ablaze in the sun of May.
Gay as the bold poinsettia is, and the
burden of the pepper trees,
The sunflower, tawny and gold and
brown, is richer to me than
these
And rising ever above the song of the
hoarse insistent sea,
The voice of the prairie, calling,
Calling me.

alien land,
Yours is the name 1 have idly traced

The name that, sprung from a scorn.

"JIM" MILLER, BROTHER
OF JOAQUIN

One of the quaintest characters of
the northwest is James Miller, brother
of Joaquin Miller, the poet, says the
Yakima Republic. The present home
of the pioneer is Sunnyside, although
he has moved so frequently from one
place to another that II would be i'm
possible to refer to any place as his
permanent residence. James Miller
has reached the age of II, and the
conclusion that 1t is about time for
him to be settling down in life and
making a fortune. 1t is compliment
he pays to this country that after
wandering about the states he should
choose this place in which to settle.
At the recent Sunnyside barbecue,
the aged pioneer claimed much atten-
tion from the visitors. Told that he
was a brother to the famous Joaquin
Miller, several people questioned him
regarding his illustrious brother.
Eyes, Joaquin Miller is my brother"
he admitted with drawing reluctance,
"at least 1 have all the heresay' evil
dence to prove it. My mother said
we were brothers, and as long as she
did, it isn't for me to deny the rela-
tionship."
From which 1t may be taken that
between James and Joaquin the an
tipathy has become chronic with old
age.
"Joaquin's name amt Joaquin any
more than mine is. He was christen-
ed Cincinnatus, Cincinnatus Heine
Miller. He got his nickname while In
California. At that time there was q
desperado by the name of Joaquin
terrorizing the country and some fel'
lows at a shooting gallery called m,
brother Joaquin after the outlaw
probably because he didn't look bi
the part. The name stuck, however
and was adopted by him.
"It was in 1852 that our famil!
started from it's home in Indiana fol
the west. I can't remember the nam'
of the town we lived in, but the stat'
I know was Indiana. At that TIM
10 was about IA and was two year
older.

THE PRODIGAL.

Last night the boy came back to me
again,
The laughing boy, all credulous of
good.
Long lost far wandered in the ways Of
men,
He came and reused me with an
olden mood.
He came the lover and enthusiast,
Shook off my years and with en-
iightened eyes
Smiled at the shadow that the world
had cast
And looked at life with all the old
surprise,
And I, the slave of patience took him
in,
Gave him my heart and bade him
welcome home,
Thrilled with his dreams Of all / yet
may win
Allured again in golden paths to
roam,
And now I know life has no greater
JOY
Than, having lived, to be once more
boy.
Peter Macarthur.

in 80 miles. This means that power
equal to uncounted Niagaras is run
ming to waste in this state; power that
can be made to work for man by the
expenditure of a very moderate
amount of capital and knowledge.
And when this is fully done, when
1t is half done, there will be great
change in the present distribution of
population. There are just two things
that bring men together in dense
masses. one is the converging lines
of commerce and the other is the near
neighborhood of power.
For a hundred years this power has
been coal. But the coal fields are di-
minishing, and long before they are
exhausted the cost will rise to a fig
ure that will make competition with
water-generated electricity impossible.
When that time comes the center of
population will gravitate as naturally
toward the mountains as in the past
it has turned toward the coal fields.
Already this clean, smokeless, noise
less force has made tremendous in
roads on the domain of its dirty, but
efficient rival. A project is now being
carried out in italy whereby a rail-
road from Milan to Genoa, running
almost in an air line, and going
through the mountains rather than
over them, is to be run with the
power derived from the SHOWS Of the
Alps; the "white COAL" as some has
called it, of Italy. We have many Alps
in Colorado, and when their white
coal is put to use we shall not need to
worry over the diminishing supply of
anthracite.

NEED HOSPITAL COMMITTEES.

Every one of the 25 secret societies
of the city of Pendleton should have
a standing hospital committee" to
whom the Sisters of st. Francis
should send notice upon the arrival at
the hospital of any one belonging to
any of the orders represented.
Nobody who does not keep in close
touch with st. Anthonys hospital
knows how many people most of
them strangers, pass through this in
stitution during the year.
Many of these people, large ma
jority of them, in fact, belong to one
or more of the leading orders, which
are we'll represented in this city.
While all of the orders have regu-
lar relief committees, whose duty it
is to seek out needy and ailing men,
bers and offer such help and COM
fort as is needed, yet there is an urg-
ent need for regular hospital COM
mittees in each order whose duty it
shall be to see that every member of
each order coming to the hospital
in this city is visited and ministered to
in every way to make his stay in the
city a time to be remembered with
pleasure.
In this way the orders of Pendleton
could bind strangers to them by their
kindness and fraternity and make it a
pleasure, rather than a gloomy task,
to come to the hospital in this city for
treatment.
The Sisters of st. Francis would be
glad to phone to members of such
committees were they furnished with
the names, and would cooperate with
the orders in ascertaining to what
orders all new arrivals at the hospita
belong.
1t would not only be a valuable
movement for the hospital, but Pen
dleton orders should be glad tc
practice this kind of charity. Hos
pitals are forbidding enough at best
and everything possible should bt
done to surround them with pleasan
memories and inviting aspects.

There never was so much railroad
construction talk in the northwest as
at present. Every community has its
projected railroad line and is either
making surveys or securing right of
way. 1t will not be long until the
northwest will be as thickly studded
with railroad lines as the New Eng
land coast. The country is just now
awakening to the Importance and
significance of this far west as the
granary and clearing house of the Pa
cific coast.

<. CONSUMPTION ~ It's Cause and Suggested Means of Recovery

Consumption is not always an. in- herited disease, and large percent age of cases may be attributed to the following causes:
 First, imperfect digestion. Second, imperfect nutrition as a result of the first. Third, the accumulation of mor- bid product in the lungs as the re- suit of imperfect nutrition, and this in turn breaks down the function of res- piration and consumption Is an estab- lished disease.
 The first step toward cure is to restore the function of nutrition, and to this end nothing in the world ex- cells Vinol.
 It is for this reason we want every person in Montgomery, Ala, to know about our delicious cod liver prepara- tion. Vinol. which is far supeaior to old-fashioned cod liver oil and emul- sions because 1t is made by a scisn~ tific, attractive and concentrating pro- cess from fresh cods' livers, combin- ing with peptonate of iron all the medicinal healing, body building ele- ments of cod liver oil, but no oil.
 In pulmonary disease, it nourishes the body, increases vigor, checks the cough and often mitigates the disease. As a strength creator for old people. delicate children. weak. run down per sons, and after sickness, Vinol is un- excelled.
 We ask Montgomery people to try Vinol on our offer to return their money if it does not give satisfaction. E. G. Fowler. Druggist, Montgomery, Ala.

COMPLAINS OF SERVICE.

Railroad.
 Florence. Dec, S-(Speciall-At the quarterly meeting of the Young Mems Commercial Club much dissatisfaction was expressed at the failure of the Southern Railway to put into effect promises made to the mayor and the club at the time of the removal of the Florence branch of the Southern last fall.
 When the change was first contem- plated, there was strong opposition here, which was finally overcome by the promise on the part of the com. pany that tickets would be sold to and from Florence and that electric cars leased from the Sheffield company would meet all trains on the main line at Tuscumbia, making this city access ible to the travelling public at all hours of the night.
 The branch line was discontinued but the Southern has failed to make good it's promises. The connections have never been made and st all stations passengers are refused tickets to Florence, Tuscumbia and Sheffield be- ing the nearest point for which tickets are on sale.
 In addition to this the Northern Ala bama train which formerly arrived in Florence shortly after noon now stops at Sheffield and make that point it's terminal instead of Florence.
 This condition has caused general dissatisfaction among the citizens of Florence and the Commercial Club is strongly backed by public sentiment In the petition it has forwarded to the Alabama Railroad Commission, asking that the Southern be required to sell tickets to Florence; that connections be made with all trains on the main line and that the Northern Alabama noon train be required to make Flor ence its terminal as formerly.

Public BuiIding Assured.

news that the contract for the erection of the Federal building here has been let and the contracted for the comple- tion of the same has been limited to May l. 1909. This assures the fact that the work upon the building will be started at an early date and that it must necessarily be pushed forward as rapidly as possible until it is complet- ed.
 While the citizens are pleased with the fact that the building will soon be started they are also disappointed that the building to be erected is to be a two-story one instead of three. The original plans called for a three-story structure. but to come within the amount of the appropriation the plans had to be modified and a two-story building is the result.

production has been fairly good. The commercial coal companies appear to have all the business on hand they can care for. and the railroads are still urging . prompt supply of cars with which to handle the product. There has been no reduction in quotations as yet for coal Unless there are numer- ous cancellations of orders, and that does not seem probable. the mines will be kepto busy for some time to come and possibly all through the winter. There arc no doubts but that by spring the demand for coal and everything else in the industrial district will have improved X so that statement that good times are looked for through the winter in the coal fields is saying much.
 Coke is still dull, with no immediate prospects of picking up. This trade de- bends on the pig iron market alto- gether.
