machines at elections, in boroughs, on she

The railroad tax that is to come to the
schools of the State from she Perkins bill,
probably will not be available next year on
account of litigation against the law by the
railroads. But increased valuation by the
County Boards of Taxation last year has

ty's share from tina source will be 81, 1867
in excess of last year-or about 81 per

A PLEA FOR THE ELK.

A movement will be started in the
Elks' lodge to discontinue the use of
elks' teeth as an emblem and badge
of that order.
Because of the rapid growth of the
order the demand for elks' teeth en-
blems has become extremely active
and hundreds of elk are slaughtered
every year to supply this demand.
1t is believed that the order will
discourage the use of real elks' teeth
as emblems when the inhumanity and
cruelty of the custom is made plain
The order would not countenance the
ruthless slaughter of one of the
noblest wild animals of the world Il
the truth of the matter was presented
in proper light.
In parts of Wyoming where immense
herds of elk are yet to be found
dozens of pot hunters" are arrested
every winter for killing elk for theii
teeth, leaving the carcasses of the
beautiful animals untouched.
1t is hoped that the order awakens
to the cruelty of this practice ani
that after the Philadelphia meeting
of the grand lodge in July, the use
of the tooth of the elk will be discon-
tinued.
The metal elk's head is just as
symbolical and does not mean the
slaughter of hundreds of innocent and
helpless animals in their winter re-
treats.
Let the Elks remember the beau
tiful teachings of their odrer and stoI
this form. of cruelty carried on in the
name of Elkdom.

CHAIRMAN MUST CO."

1t remained for President Theodore
Roosevelt TO whose campaign fund it
is said the railroad and insurance cor
porations contributed literally to sap
the worlds greatest railroad magnate
and monopolist in the face, and say,
get out"
Will the nation ever again enjoy
the services of such an absolutely
fearless and independent president as
Roosevelt has proven to be?
With the coils of the railroad octu-
pus wound about congress and Wall
street in a smothering and relentless
grasp, the president dares to rebuff
that octopus. He had the fearlessness
to point the finger of accusation at
Hartman and his forces, to say to
the public that Hartman is a law
breaker and that he must go!
1t required nerve to do that. Harri-
man is no small factor In the politi-
cal and financial world. His power
is appalling and no one understan ir
it better than Roosevelt, but the pres
ident did not hesitate to speak plain
ly.
1t is really refreshing to witness
such nerve in the presidential chair.

SOME HISTORY OF FORESTRY.

The forestry service recently found
an unexpected defender in Senator De-
pew. The agricultural appropriation
bill was worrying along its much beset
path with the forestry provision still
the object of assault, when Mr.. De-
pew came to the rescue. He began
by saying that he was an advocate
Of the Appalachian reserve proposition.
This is the direct opposition of the
western idea," he said. "The eastern
senators are here asking to have done
exactly what the western senators are
protesting against If the argument
of the western senators is correct,
however, the entire system is wrong.
1.-THE forestry reserve idea began in
Switzerland 1000 years ago. Five
hundred years, ago the Swiss had a
thorough scientific service, and except
for that Switzerland today would be
depopulated.
$50 1t is in Germany. There a
scientific system of forestry has been
in existence for hundreds of years.
All the old European countries have
learned this lesson. Italy long ago
found herself losing her soil and being
robbed of the productiveness of what
was left through the denudation of her
forests. Poor as Italy is today, high
as her taxes are, higher than any Eur
opean country, she is spending $12,-
100000 to reforest her hills.
France began this service under
Louis XIV. In the last few years she
has spent $1S,O00,O00 for reforesting
and is now engaged on scheme in
volving the expenditure of $24,00O,-
| 900 more. 1t has cost Italy $40 an
acre to reforest her mountains. France
is spending $34 an acre for the same
purpose. But we are now securing
the forest reserves without costing the
| people anything. The forests of Ger
many now yield the government 50
an acre, those of Switzerland yield IS
an acre. If this service is continued
we shall soon have our own forest self
sustaining. Why shouldn't the gov
ernment derive an income from these
forests, when the purpose is the pres
ervation of water supply?"

EVERYDAY BLINDNESS.

We seek for beauty on the height afar;
But on earth it glimmers all the
while;
'Tis in the garden where the roses
are;
'Tis in the glory of mothers smile.
We seek for wisdom in each solemn
book;
But aye beyond the musty page 1t
'Tis in the script of violets by the
brook;
'Tis in the laughter of the baby's
eyes.
We seek for God in every distant
place;
But 10, beside us he forever stands;
We meet him guised as sunlight face
to face:
We touch him when we take a
brothers hands.

MooNsHINE STILLS OF GEORGIA.

The moonshine stills of Georgia
see them in my dreams,
The bright bead dancing on the corn
There in the pale moonbeams.
Where the raccoon haunts the hollow
And shrill the night owl screams.
The moohshine stills of Georgia,
Where the rocks rise grim around;
Where the rattler springs his rattle
And the possum's lair is found;
Each cheerful still-it fills the bill''
And covers well the ground"
The moonshine still of Georgia,
Hid by the mountain wall;
see the brown jug on the stump
The corncob cork, and all;
And l glide there like a shadow,
At low, keen Whistles call,
oh, the moonshine stills of Georgia.
Though far away l roam,
Sweet scents of peace and honey
Come DER the hills Of home!
And the rattlesnake and screech owl,
They call me-and l come'

APPLE PROFITS LARGE.

The returns from the sale of Rogue
River apples in the London markets
show that the 1906 crop in that part
of Oregon yielded about $1,000 per
acre for the winter apple orchards.
In the Weston mountain and Basket
mountain districts in Umatilla county
and all around Weston and Athena Is
just as valuable apple orchard land as
that of Rogue River valley
There is no reason why Spitzen-
bergs, Newtowns and other highly
priced varieties of winter apples should
not be grown just as profitably in
Umatilla county as in either Hood
River or Rogue River valleys.
The soil is identical, the climate is
equally favorable, the rainfall is suf-
ficient, the country is free from frost,
and can be kept free from pests and
there is absolutely no reason why
thousands Of acres in the heavier
soils OF Umatilla county should not
be producing profits from winter ap-
pies to the amount of from 800 to
$1,000 per acre.
1t is only a matter of having the
nerve to try 1t.

FRATERNAL GRAFT VETOED.

The Salem Journay pays Governor
Chamberlain a deserved compliment
for nipping in the bud a measure
providing for the appointment by the
state of fraternal insurance inspec-
tor, to be paid by the state for the
benefit of the orders:
One of the wicked political acts of
the democratic governor was vetoing
the law creating the office of inspector
of fraternal orders.
What a perpetual junket and chin
music festival that officer would have
had
Besides, he would have been on per
diem and mileage by the state.
But that would have been minor
matter To be met at trans by dele
cations of brothers and sisters, taken
to best hotels meeting at night, BAN
quet, etc., would be worth more than
the salary.
How the governor, belonging to as
many orders as he does, could cruelty,
oold-heartedly turn down so just a
measure is a mystery of political per-
versity.
Wasn't he afraid to lose the frater-
nal order vote?
Didn't he know there was a man al
Salem waiting to be appointed?
That individual had unselfishly lob
bied the bill through the legislature.
He helped create the office by pull
ing the fraternal strings that are sup
posed to reach every true brothers
heart.
Then came the cruel, unfeeling de
scent of the governors AK.
Then the cold-footed republican sen
ate sustained the veto.
1t is enough to discourage public
spirited, enterprising men, and th'
would-be state inspector of fraterna
orders was plunged into the depths
Of gloom from which he never re
covered until the Salem locksmitf
sawed him out of the city Jail.

the most serious consideration of the
west. Denuded mountains in the west
are far more threatening than those
of the east because the western noun
tains are more precipitous and with
no timber to hold the gathering water
in check, every mountain stream may
become a raging river.
For every tree removed from the
mountains of the west another should
be planted. This much is due to the
generations which must follow us,
We must not strip the mountains and
ave them hot only barron of tim
Der, but absolutely menacing, because
of their inability to hold the floods in
check.
The losses suffered in the vicinity
OF Pittsburg during the past week
would have reforested almost the en-
tire denuded area from which the
floods descended.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-03-18

The new charter of Pendleton
should provide that no franchise shall
ever be given away to any firm, cor
poration or individual again. What
ever is valuable to others must be even
more valuable to the city, because the
city possesses the right to utilize and
enjoy to the fullest extent for all time
the public blessings which make cor
porations rich in a few wears.

FORESTS GONE, FLOODS COME.

Disastrous floods whicn swept the
region around Pittsburg, Pa, last
week, causing from s10,000,000 to
s2o,000,000 damages to mills, mines
farms and village settlements, were
caused primarily by the total ds,''uc-
ton of the forests on the surrounding
hills and low mountain ridges It Is
claimed by government experts who
have investigated.
Formerly the hills were covered
with timber, which served to hold in
check and dissipate the gathering
water, while now, with nothing to i'm
pede its flow, the water falling in
those denuded hills rushes into the
gulches, multiplies its force as It pro.
ceeds, and finally becomes a torrent.
This is a lesson for Oregon to pom.

EVER y SONG SOMEWHERE.

There is ever a song somewhere, my
dear,
There is ever q something that
sings alway;
There's the song of the lark when
the skies are clear,
And the song of the thrush when
the skies are gray;
The sunshine showers across the
grain,
And the bluebird trills in the Or
chard tree;
And in and out, when the caves drip
rain,
The swallows are twittering cease
lessly.
There is ever a song somewhere. my
dear,
Be the skies above US dark or fair;
There is ever a song that our hearts
may hear
There is ever song somewhere, my
There is ever song somewhere!
There is ever a song somewhere, my
dear.
In the midnight black or the mid
day blue;
The robin pipes when the sun /:
here,
And the cricket chirrups the whole
night through:
The buds may slow and the frui
may grow.
And the autumn leaves drop crisI
ana sern;
But whether thr snn or tho rain Of
the snow,
There is ever n song somewhere
my dear.

HOW ARIZONA WAS NAMED.

There was a battle of names for our
territory, and Arizuma, Arizona,
Gadsonia and Pimeria contended with
Arizona. Personally" says a writ
er in the Arizona Magazine, IT wish
the choice might have fallen upon
Pimeria, with its rich human and
historical associations, but Charles D.
Poston decided upon Arizona, taking
the name from the Arizonac noun
tons, near the great Planchas de
Platte, it being considered suitable
that .he state which was to he built
on silver should bear a name taken
from the most wonderful silver re-
gion in the world."-Coconino Sun.
