WHEN THE FARMER PROSPERS

When the farmer prospers he di-
vides up with everybody else, to a
certain extent.
The first man to benefit by the high
price and excellent yield Of wheat this
year was the laboring man, who, see
ing the great prosperity ahead for the
farmer, demanded an increase Of
about so per cent in wages before
touching the harvest.
This demand the farmer conceded
before cutting straw of his crop.
Next the warehouse combination
advances the prices of storage so per
cent and the farmer will pay it, Of
course, when he takes pay for his
crop from the warehouse company.
And then, seeing the yield increas-
ing and the land advancing in value,
the assessor raises the assessment on
wheat land and so the farmer divides
up his profits until there is not such
a fortune left from the 45-bushel
yield and the 75-cent-per-bushe
price.

LOOKING TO UMATILLA.

The East Oregonian is in receipt Of
letters from different parts of the east,
inquiring for small tracts of garden
and fruit land in the vicinity of a
town or city, where the family may
live in the country and the man work
in town.
This is the class of small farmers
which will convert parts of Umatilla
county into one continuous village
and make electric lines, rural mail
routes, rural telephones and other
public conveniences absolutely neces-
sary.
Invariably this paper answers these
inquiries with the invitation to
Come" OF course we can locate
them. OF course places can be found.
Freewater, Milton, Hermiston, Una
tilla and Echo, all invite just such
settlers. Soon the government irri-
CATION project will be ready for set
tiers and then the real era of small
farm development will have begun in
CmatiIla county.
Already this era is at hand and on
the Furnish tract and others in the
west and north part of the county
small farmers are locating with their
families in the once uninviting des-
ert. OF course there are places for
these farmer-tradesmen. Just such
people will bring to Umatilla county
its best period of progress.
We need people who will grow
Lambert cherries on two and three
acres for the Boston market. We
need men who will ship Strawberries
out before May to Butte, Minneap-
oils and other northern markets. The
climate is here. The soil and water
are here and all that is lacking is the
man to begin the work.
The East Oregonian is not alarmed
at the concentration of the whea
land of Umatilla county into a few
hands. There is a vital progress
hidden away in the irrigated section:
of the county which will overshadow
this concentration, and render its evil
effects toothless and clawless in the
growth Of the county.

THE TOILERS.

All day l hear the hum and jar
Where traffic clogs the street,
All day where busy thousands are
And greedy rivals meet,
l struggle with the poor and proud
And with the great and small,
And with a high hope am endowed
The great hope shared by all.
How many of the toilers who
Must daily try their best
Where each is striving to outdo
And rise above the rest
Would risk the dangers or would care
What heights might be attained
If no more children came to share
The prizes that were gained?
How many of the ones who take
Their places day by day
Would struggle onward for the sake
or what their masters pay
II in their hearts love had no place
And for themselves alone
They had TO go the weary pace
~ v~rwr7
Above the ceaseless roar. above
The cries of weak and strong,
l hear a thrilling song of love,
A glad, courageous song!
cease to see the care displayed
BY those who crush and crowd,
And know that love and hope have
made
The city great and proud.

BIG ROW OVER 3 CENTMEs.

A wealthy Frenchman recently
bought ticket at a Paris railway ter
minus. but missed the train he in
tended to take. While waiting for the
next one, which left two hours later,
he studied the compacy's tariff to
pass away the time. He then found
that he had been charged IA francs.
AZ centimes. whereas the proper fare
was only IA francs AZ centimes.
He asked for his money back
at the office. but without result
An interview with the stationmaster
was also unsuccessful. He afterward
wrote a number of letters to the COM
pany, but received no answer He
then commenced an action to recover
the 8 centimes. He won the action
in the lower court, but the company
took It to the appeal court, afterward
the Cour de Cessation. Both courts
dismissed the appeal and the company
was ordered to pay the plaintiff the
8 centimes. The cost to the company
amounted to $3.50 francs, or $3.50

COMPENSATION.

In handful of tales from the street
which appeared in a Portland paper
some time ago, was the story of
brickmason who, seeing a wealthy
merchant and his wife starting for a
drive in an elegant carriage. bitterly
complained of the lot of the poor, and
envied the luxuries of the rich.
Happening to hear a part of the
complaint of the brickmason, the mer-
chant turned to him and laying his
hand upon his shoulder said:
81 have heard your complaint about
your lot. You should be happy and
contented man. I see you have your
three little children with you, alive,
well, healthy and growing up into
merry boyhood and girlhood. Do you
know that we would give up all we
have, money, stocks. houses, lands
everything worldly, if We could but
call back a little daughter we buried
years ago?"
So there are compensating phases in
all conditions.
Perfection has not yet been reached
in any station.

tice,) rather than send an opponent
of the president from his own party
to oppose and battle him in his re-
form measures now but half execut-
ed?
Governor Chamberlain is not now a
candidate for the senate and may
never be. He has served the people
twice as governor of Oregon and has
enjoyed to the fullest their confidence
and esteem. He does not need the
senatorship to complete his excellent
political career.
But is he not a more logical can
didate for the people of oregon. who,
like Judge Lowell, have the interest
of the state at heart to support, than
Fulton, who has opposed the presi-
dent on many of the most vital issues
involved in congress?
This is a new day. a new deal,
new age. Progress and independence
are making rapid strides and people
are ready to accept the services of
every honest, clean, active citizen who
can advance the interests of the state,
regardless of what the politicians call
him.
Some of the most trusted lieuten-
ants in Roosevelt's administration,
some of the men, who like Heney,
have made the Roosevelt administra-
tion the most successful and benefic-
ial in the history of modern times, are
called democrats. But their abilities
and not their political designation,
count.
Roosevelt is a type of the indepen-
dent Oregon voter, who, like Judge
Lowell, has twice voted for a demo-
cratic governor because of his pecul-
lar fitness and qualification for the
office. Politics count for but little
where he needs a man for a special
service requiring ability, fearlessness
and zeal. He does not pause to exam
inc the party ear-marks of the man,
if the essential qualifications are ap-
parent.
The people of Oregon have exhibit
ed this same splendid and enlightened
quality of independence many times
III the past and II is safe to say that
it will not desert them in the senatori-
al election next year, If George E.
Chamberlain chooses to be a candi-

BUTTER WITHOUT CHURNING.

A clever easterner has patented
process for making butter without
churning. An absorbent material like
Turkish toweling is placed in the bot
tom of shallow pans and covered with
sheets of heavy white blotting paper.
Sweet cream is poured upon these
paper separators, and after three or
four hours all the watery constituents
Of the cream are absorbed, leaving a
layer of fresh butter about a quarter
Of an inch thick on the surface of the
paper. This may be used fresh or
worked over like churned butter and
salted to taste. This butter lacks
keeping quality, owing to the pres
ehce Of casein, but for immediate
use is not excelled in pureness and
sweetness.

REACHED THE LIMIT.

A Providence girl, who has been
married about six months, had we'd
ding cards a short time ago from an
old school friend who had given her
a wedding present, which, of course,
demanded one in return.
Among her wedding presents the
Providence girl had duplicates in the
shape of two silver card trays, and in
spirit of economy she decided to give
one of these to her friend. 1t was
marked with her own initials, but 1t
would be only a matter of a few
minutes to have them removed and
the proper monogram cut. She took
it to the jeweler and explained what
was to be done. He picked up the
tray, looked at it closely and smiled.
Madam" he said, at will be i'm
possible. I have already changed the
initials on this same tray five times,
and it has worn so thin that 1 can
not do 1t again without cutting
through the bottom. m."-Providence

Here Is a frank confession for the
Pendleton Morning Tribune to make.
In Its issue of July "a the Tribune
says: "In the Morning Tribune you
get all the news, and ~ hours later
than through any other medium
and in the morning, when the first
thing you want is news" This is Just
what the evening papers have always
said-that you get the same news 12
hours late in the morning papers, 70
hours after the evening papers have
given it. And still there is a field for
the morning papers-12 hours in the

SENATOR CHAMBERLAIN.

Judge Stephen A. Lowell of this
city writes a communication to the
Portland Oregonian in which he
frankly admits. that he voted for
Governor Chamberlain because he
thought the interests of the state de-
manded that act upon his part as a re-
publican.
Thousands of other conscientious
republicans did the same thing, not
only once, but twice in Oregon and
the same men, doubtless, who had the
interest of the state at heart in former
campaigns will support Chamberlain
for United States senator should he
run next year.
For does not the interests of the
state demand men in accord with
President Roosevelt and his policies
Of reform, now more than ever be-
fore? Is this a time to send Fulton
back to rebuke the president and
multiply the opposition to him in Or
sgon?
Should not republicans. like Judge
Lowell, have the interest of the
state" and nation at heart and elect
George e. Chamberlain to the United
States senate, (although a democrat
