To Fiqht the Bill.

Fifty-seven delegates representing
$4,000 railroad men of Michigan, at a
meeting held in Grand Rapids, decided
to use their influence against the pass
ing OF the two-cent fare bill now be-
fore the Legislature. Figures were intro
duced to prove that in the states
where they have the two-cent rate. the
Sunday excursions were cut out entire.
~ by the roads, the roads were poorer
and they claimed that in these cases
the traffic was larger and the roads
could better stand the rate than in
Michigan, therefore they fear condi-
lions would become bad for the work
ing man.

II never suspected that coffee might
be aggravating my condition | was
downhearted and discouraged, but
prayed daily that / might find some
thing to help me.
Several years ago. while at a
friends house, / drank a cup of Post

anything more delicious.
From that time on / used Postum
instead of coffee, and soon began to
improve in health, so that now | can
walk half dozen blocks or moro with
ease, and do many other things that

My appetite is good, ! sleep well,
and find life worth living. indeed A
lady OF my acquaintance said she did
not like Postum, it was so weak and
tasteless.

tile, and she was forced 10 abandon

GRASS CULTURE; TWO VIEWS.

Mr.. Delfelder, president of the
Wyoming Woolgrowers, says: at
has long been claimed and generally
believed, that sheep are a detriment
to a public stock range, this claim
even going to the length of saying
that a range. sheep pastured, is a
range ruined. q
1T has now been fully demonstrat-
ed. however, that sheep pasturage is
an actual benefit instead of ruina-
ton, the experience of the passing
years proving that the renewed and
more luxuriant grass always follows
range pastured by sheep.
"As a prominent and profitable
instance of this is the fact that in
Carbon county, Wyoming. where big
flocks and close grazing are carried
70 the limit, the sheepmen are find
ing better and more fattening grasses
from year to year on the same range
over which they have been grazing
their flocks ever since sheep were
grazed in Wyoming.
"As a matter of fact, the sheep
flocks closely punched and closely
grazing, stir up the soil and fertilize
it for future and more prolific grass
growth"
And to this beautiful dissertation
on the benefits accruing to the ranges
from the grazing of sheep, the Dem
yer Ranch and Range sharply re-
torts:
THE above might be true as scrip
ture but the Wyoming sheepman
might repeat the assertion until he
grew black in the face and then
Colorado cowman would not believe
him, and would give him to under
stand that the first time his sheep
crossed the dead line, there would be
fresh mutton to feed to the birds"

BIG PROFITS IN cows

Here is a little story from wash
ington county, Oregon, which the
East Oregonian wishes to commend
IN the attention of Umatilla county
farmers. especially those living on
the alfalfa bottoms where green pas
ture is plentiful. The story Is from
the Pacific Homestead and is rs fci-
lows
During IL months from OCTOBER l.
1906 to the same date Of 19oh
Thomas Williams, of Washington
county oregon, sold 1885 POUNDS OF
milk from his herd of IA COWS, five
of which are heifers with their first
calves. and the amount of money ne
received for it was s14s6.46.
He figures that each COW cost MIN
sA5 during that time for feed and
nasture and for the care of each COW
and her milk the expense was S15'
consequently for the entire herd the
cost was sS4O and the interest on
the investment $50, thus leaving MIN
q nrofit of s576.46 on the herd for
the year.
The greatest amount Of milk re-
oeived from the cows in one month
was in May, 12,4s2 pounds, the re-
tnrn being $166.24, but in April ne
got 1924 pounds Of milk which re-
turned him ;1S4. The lowest month
was August, the milk produced then
being 1902 pounds Of milk which re-
was sold for @65.1S. The milk went
to the condenser.

IMMORTALITY.

The eager woGd asks, shall we
meet again? Will you come back 70
me? Shall we live beyond the
grave?
Why, dear heart, there is no 60
ing away, no coming back. We
have always been here; we shall al
ways be here Every atom now in
the world has always been in the
world; every life that is now on the
earth has always been upon the
earth. There is nothing new.
Nature is one vast organization,
working smoothly, harmoniously,
with infinite purpose and highest
aim. There is no taking from nor
adding to; there is no death. no
birth, no destruction, no annihilation.
The living and the dead. so to
speak, are connected, active parts of
the great scheme; every particle in
space is in touch with every other
particle; the kinship is infinite; the
love of one for the other particle
endless and unshakable.
When we come into the fullest
understanding of this scheme. when
He get away from the superstitions
uf the earth, when we put down
fear that is now heavy in the human
breast, when we put away the dark
ened curtains from the human un-
derstanding. and get up on higher
ground, when we look above self and
selfish passions, desires and emo
tions. we shall be able to understand
that Immortality is one Of the first
and greatest principles in the uni
verse.
But the form of that Immortality,
the robes in which many of us have
clothed it will be found to be unreal
and fanciful in the extreme.
But Immortality is everywhere
about US. Nothing is destructible.
There is no more room in space for
any new material, and there is no
space in the universe that is not now
occupied, 50 Immortality is self-evi-
dent. There is an intelligent scheme
of Immortality running through the
universe, proclaiming the endlessness
of all life, the indestructibility Of all
matter
BY the forces Of nature, by the Or
ganization Of the human mind we
will be able to climb up high enough
to understand that immortal plan
some time. The clouds are clearing
away rapidly.

The school journals published in

schools which issue them. A num-

of special mention, among them be-
ing the Ilakawinn, published by
Pendletom high school, the Wireless,
published by the Weston normal,
and the Pioneer, published by Whit
man college. All of these school
journals reflect a high standard of
excellence in the schools They are
true mirrors of the Intellectual ideals

doing a good work in furnishing
practical journalism for the students,
and also in portraying something of
the spirit of the schools which would
otherwise be voiceless.
