OF administering the county govern
mant, in making assessments, collect
ing taxes; every department OF the
county government must be enlarged
and improved to meet increasing set
tlement and all these improvements
cost money.
The county bridges and county
roads must be made permanent. 1t
is folly to rebuild cheap wooden
bridges and repair dirt roads every
yeer at enormous cost. Permanent
bridges and substantial roads must
he made and in order 10 do this. taxes
must be increased. There is no 9TH
er way by which to make improve
ments.
AS long as the affairs of the coun-
ty are administered economically
and only just and equitable bills are
allowed. no one can justly complain.
Every cent invested IN good roads
and bridges is we'll spent. 1t be-
comes a perpetual asset OF the whole
people.
II is a wrong idea of economy to
delay needed public Improvements by
maintaining costly makeshifts or by
curtailing any department of the
county government which is neces-
sary for the accommodation of the
people.
Let US have good roads, bridges
and public buildings and enjoy them
as we go along. The present gener-
alton deserves the best that is to be
had.

PARKER's EMULATION.

There is one man in the United
States who is delighted beyond his
power to control himself at the open
rupture between the president and
F. H. Hartman, and that is Alton B.
Parker, late candidate for president.
The letter of Hartman, accusing
Roosevelt of openly soliciting cam
paign funds in 1904, vindicates Par
ker and proves that his statement
made at the close of the campaign,
that the corporations were contribut-
ng heavily to the Cortelyou cam
paign fund, was absolutely true II
Hartman is to be believed.
The relieve tions made during the
insurance investigation in New York
clinched Parker's statement and Har-
riman's startling letter drives the nail
home with a telling blow.
But that will not change the fact
that the people want Roosevelt to
run for president again, and on top
of the relevation of Hartman,
Roosevelt can beat any living man
for the place if he will run again.

WHERE THE DUKE WAS.

DR.. Stalker, the we'll known Scot
tish preacher, tells a good story of
Sir John Steel, the famous sculptor.
When ne had the duke of yelling
ton sitting for a statute he wanted
to get HIM to look warlike. All his
efforts were in vain, however, for
Wellington seemed, judging by his
face, never to have heard of Water
loo or Talavera. At last Sir John
lost patience somewhat and this
scene followed:
"As' | am going to make the statue
of your grace, can you not tell me
what you were doing before, say. tho
battle of Salamanca? Were you not
galloping about the fields cheering
on your men to deeds of valor oy
woru and actor. ?"
"Bah!" said the duke, in evident
scorn. "If you really want to mode
me as was on the morning of Sala.
mar ca, then do me crawling along Z
ditch on my stomach. with a tele.
scope ip my band"

JAMES j. HILL.

The world knows all about Jim
Hills career as a railroad and en-
pire builder. The story has been re-
peated so many times that the public
is weary OF it. Now that Hill has re-
tired from the management. of the
Great Northern the public will recall
his long and vital career with some
thing akin to renewed interest and
will closely watch the son who sue
ceeds to the gigantic task so long
performed by the Titan father.
But there is a side of Jim Hill
which has received but little atten-
ton from the public and it is one of
the real wonders of his versatile life.
Hills ancestors were all people of
small calibre and small means. He,
alone, arose above the horizon. His
father and mother were plodding Ca
madam Irish people, whose lives were
spent in an obscure way on their lit
tie farm.
None of his uncles, grandparents
nor relations ever attained to any
thing but very mediocre stations in
life. There was no successful
streak" in the entire family as far
back as it is known, according to the
chroniclers of Hills career.
This Irish boy, however, showed
speed as an organizer and manipula-
tor from his very youth. He. was a
master of every situation when but
poor clerk. AS he grew, his grasp
of big concerns became firmer ana
more conspicuous and finally this
one. lone, solitary member of the
Fill family arose like snow clad
pcak above his family. above his
ccuntrymen, above his giant COM
petitors and stands today, a tower
ing, supreme, giant form in the world
| Of railroads.
The wonders of heredity, of en-
vironment, of elf-development are
combined in the unique and fascinat-
ing story of Jim Hills life. By what
mysterious turn of fate was this SOL
itary member of an obscure family
lifted to such heights, such achieve
ment?
And yet, when the history of the
really great men of the world Is
known, majority of them, like jim
Hill, came from the lowly and OBJ
scure cottages of the poor and un
known. Few famous men have ia.
nous sons.

SONG OF THE UMATILLA
RIVER.

For many day. in volatile play,
I raced or loitered along;
Meath my ripple ard foam the fish
had a home; ...
with low leaves 1 murmured a
song.
Down the sloping Garth toward the
source Of my birth,
The great mother of streams, the
sea,
I rushed and I glanced, glided and
Canced,
Only bTeezes and birds more free.
Through ages of years, ere the toll
and the tears
OF the paleface nan / saw,
I meandered down from the Blues
froEded crown,
Knowing naught of labor or law.
Every summer shrank, as the fierce
sun cisrk,
Ind anon I ragged in flood
Eut shrunk or DER banks, nor curses
nor thanks
Voiced aught or of i'll or good.
ious days,
AS l seek great Columbia's tide;
Far round through the sand of the
sagebrush land
They divert my waters wide.
Through a great ditch they take me
to make a lake,
Whence they scatter me DER the
plain,
And wher'er 1 am led, o'er what
seems my death bed,
Spring meadows and orchards and
grain.
From a single stream ten thou
sand, I deem,
am made, and caused slowly to
seep
Through the volcanic dust that l
wake, as l must,
From its million years of sleep.
Every atom I kiss absorbs me in
| bliss,
| Ii has waited an con for me:
But twas not my deathbed, for I rise
instead
In grainfield, and garden and tree.
1 have found a new power. I can
bloom in a flower;
l can blush on an apples cheek:
/ joyfully heed the alfalfa's love-
greed,
And the melon patch stealthily
seek.
Tricklng down from my lake a des-
ert I make
over into fructuous fields,
And orchards and meads, where for
their needs,
Cunning men gather bounteous
yields.
In myraids Of blades and stalks I'm
displayed,
And In LEAKAGE of emerald hue;
Unporceived I RISE and disport meath
the skies,
Than the calling sea more blue.
Slowly. softly, and still, all the plants
thrill,
As the desert land I overspread;
And the Light and the Air are the
spirits fair,
That with me give life to the dead.

twain give birth
To o thousand shiploads of food
And our God the Sun hotly breathes,
"Well done,
Your fruitage Is very good"
Ny old time Of play do I sigh for?
nay
Work Is better thousand fold.
As Gods are these men, and I'm hap
piest when
am mining their millions OF gold.

WHY TAXES ARE HIGHER.

A pioneer while in the city yester-
Gay complained that although the
county is increasing in wealth every
year, yet taxes remain about the
same as they were when he came
here 90 years ago. He said that
many entire sections Of the county
which were idle 30 years ago. are now
rich and populous sections, yielding
excellent returns in crops and adding
much to the taxable property of the
county.
There is a substantial and reason
able answer to this question of the
pioneer and the East Oregonian be-
lioves that he will be satisfied with
It.
1t is this: Every new settlement
which has been added to Umatilla
county demands new roads, new
BRIDGES, new school districts; every

BOOM YOUR TOWN.

Every little country village has
an am bition to become a trade
center and a boom city, with no
special natural features or geo.
graphical advantages. Under such
conditions what's most needed
is some enterprise on the part OF
it's local capitalists. They must
make the first advance in the
uncertain field of development.
They must capitalize small fact
cries and see that they are kept
employed. When the local BUSH
ness is finally developed and
proves to the wrold that they are
successful, then ouoside enter
prise will be sure to step in and
enjoy your prosperity with you.
Just like a fellow who finds a
favorite fishing hole and catches
fish, aud all the other fishermen
who see that he is catching will
drop their hooks right by the side
of the lucky fishermen. The bust.

of protesting against the priot ng

the auditorium of the church was

The protest, it was stated, was
made in the interest of the

protest against the minute and
detailed account given in the
daily papers o. the sensational
and scandalous proceedings of

CRIMINAL
CASE AGAINST
Mr.. HARTMAN
Federal Authorities Not
to Give Him Chance
to Plead Imnu-
nifty.

Edward H. Hartman, president
of the Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific railroads, and head Of the
sO-called Hartman system, may
not, after all. be asked to testify be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission during the current investi-
cation of the affairs of the great
organization Of which he is the
dominating spirit.
But it is not out of consideration
for the feelings Of Mr.. Hartman
that the President, the Department
of Justice, and the commissioners
are considering whether he ought
to be placed on the stand.
The fact is that the Government
is very much in earnest in this
fight on the Hartman roads, and it
believes now that it has enough evf-
dence 10 indict and convict Harri-
man of violating the antitrust laws.
1t doesn't propose, by calling him
in the present investigation, to give
him a chance to secure immunity.
That is all there is to the matter.
Officers Of the Governments Law
Department have grown very wary OF
the immunity bath idea since their ex-
perience with the packers. They sus-
pect strongly that the most friendly
thing they could do to Mr. Hartman IN
the present exigency would be to sum-
mon him and let him tell all about his
financial arrangements, his contracts
between different roads, his arrange
ments with competing lines, etc And
just because that might open the way
to the immunity tank they are about
decided, according to the latest report
that Mr. Hartman shall not be placed
on the stand.
The matter is likely 10 continue un-
settled for some time Mr.. Hartmann
testimony might prove necessary e
make a civil case against his system, for
the dissolution OF the merger. II or
careful examination OF everything thai
the hearings have thus far developed
the legal experts should take this view
then the decision might be to place
Hartman on the State and drop an
idea of criminal proceedings. But al
present il is the desire of people hiSl
in authority that criminal proceedings
shall be brought and pursued with al
possible viSor.

is known today that at least Isl
lives were lost in the crash between
the JOY line steamer Larchmont and
the schooner Harry. Knowlton,
which sunk both vessels in Long Isl

Only nineteen are known TO have
been saved, nine passengers and ten
of the officers and crew, leaving Isl

doubtedly Perished.
The exact death list may never
be known, as the number of deck
passengers may have exceeded the
number estimated, and there is no
record Of their names. Forty-eight
bodies have been recovered.
Several Survivors May Die.
