COUNTRY is GROWING.

There are now nearly eight mil
lions more people in Continental
United States than there were six
years ago.
This estimate is based upon figures
compiled by the census bureau in a
special report just issued. According
to its estimates the population of Con-
tinental United States in 1906 was
S3,941,51O, this being an increase over
1900 of 1865.
The population of the United States,
inclusive of Alaska and the insular
possessions, in 1906, was 93,1S2,240.
The growth in population in Cont
mental United States from 1905 to
1906 was 1,367,315.
Computed on the basis of the esti-
mate the density of population of Con-
tinental United States in 1906 was 2S
persons per square mile, as compared
with 26 in 1900.
The five leading cities and their esti-
mated population in 1906 are as fol-
lows New York, 4,113,043; Chicago,
2,O49,1S5; Philadelphia, 1,441,735; st.
Louis, 649,32O, and Boston, 6O2,27S.
The SS cities with an estimated
population Of $4,000 or more in 1906
had total estimated population of
l9,771,167, an increase of 2,766,S63, or
1853 per cent over that reported at the
18th census.

WILL NOT MAKE HIGH TAXES.

The principal objection of a num-
Der of heavy taxpayers to the propos-
ed bond issue for city improvements,
is that it will greatly increase taxes.
Let us see. If all the proposed
amendments asked for by the city
council are adopted, and the bonds
are issued as requested, for refund
ing street and levee warrants, for
sewer extension, for street improve
ments, and for city hall, the total
bonded Indebtedness of the city will
be but s227,OOO, exclusive of the
water bonds, which will be amply
taken care of by the income from the
water department.
The increase in liquor licenses alone,
will amount to $3.50 per annum, or
$3.50 each on 25 saloons, after the
new license ordinance goes into effect
on June 1. This sum will be suffi-
cient to pay interest on s173,OO0 in
bonds at per cent, leaving but $54,-
900 additional to be met with in
creased taxation.
The assessed value of all taxable
property in the city. limits is now
s1,600,OOO on a one-third valuation.
The full cash value of this property
is s4,SOO.OOO. Is it cause for alarm
to build a city hall to cost $4,000,
improve the streets, extend the sewer
system and extend and strengthen the
levee, all of which will lave but s54,-
600 in bonds to be met by the taxa
ton of property valued at almost s5,-
100000?
There can be no objection to add
ing all Of the proposed improvements
asked for by the city council, when
the increase in taxes will be so in
significant. The levee must be re-
paired and extended, the sewer must
be extended, a city hall is needed,
street improvements are needed and
every citizen who spoke last night said
emphatically that the gravity water
system must be secured.
The people are willing to pay for
needed improvements. Nothing of
value can be secured without cost, and
Pendleton cannot afford to hesitate to
add these vital improvements where
the outlay in taxation is so slight.
Let US keep on moving forward. We
have set the pace. Who would turn
back?

DEADLY COMMON PLANTS.

The things that give the most
rleAsure in life frequently can also
cause the greatest pain. Among
flowers, for instance, the beautiful
snowdrop. the hyacinth, jonquil and
narcissus are all poisonous, and to
eat the smallest part of the root of
either of them would produce fatal
results, while the juices of the leaves
will cause violent vomiting.
The berries of the yew tree have
killed many people, and the opium
obtained from poppies has also
claimed its victims. Lady's slipper
and lily of the valley are both dan
gerous. and if the blossoms of crocus
are chewed they will cause vomiting.
Flowers from Dubious roots, however,
seem to be the most dangerous, and
Il might not he out of place to deal
ers in these to label them with a
crossbones and mark them poison

MRS. ELvA BARBER EDWARDS

There are three critical stages in a
woman's life which leave their mark
in her career. The first OF these stages
is womanhood, or the change from a
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils surround each of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through i'll health dates
from one or another of these i'm
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydia
e. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs has
carried thousands of young girls over
the critical period of puberty, has
prepared mothers for childbirth, and
in later years carried them safely
through the change of life more sue
cessfully than any other remedy in
the world. Thousands of testimonials
from grateful persons, two of which
are here published, substantiate this
fact beyond contradiction.

BUILD UP RIVER TRAFFIC.

1t is now almost certain that one
portion of the railroad lobby at
Washington will find itself out of a
job when the next session convenes.
That lobby has long been active in
holding up every proposition looking
t. the improvement of internal water
ways The reason was plain. Not
only would the waterways, intelligent
" managed. handle a good portion Of
the freight which would otherwise be
cerried by rail, but they would, by
their competition, furnish an auto
matte measure of just and profitable
freight rates.
Wherefore, they were fought to the
death; and today the country which
has a river system second only to that
Of South America, carries almost its
entire freight by land.
But there has been notable change
Of temper on the part Of most Of the
railroad magnates. The business Of
the country has outgrown the railway
capacity; and It is manifestly better
for the freight to be carried by river
than not at all. And almost as potent
is the epidemic" as one wrathful
financier put 1t, OF railway legislation.
Ut is certain that the roads will no
longer be permitted TO go their way,
making rates by instinct. There is
going to be some check on extortlon,

ital stock of one million shares. In adj
dition to paying Messrs. Carpenter and
Schnitzius $50. 1000 in gold coin. one-third

The sale was made only after the

property by competent mining engineers
employed for the purpose. Data furn-
ished by the engineers disclosed the fact
that the lode matter is traceable for a
distance of 5000 feet. 1t is 80 feet wide
