BREAK LAND MONOPOLY.

Two intensely interesting land in
vestigations are now under way in
the west. One is the effort of the
government to recover 10000, 900
acres given in grants to the Union
Pacific in Wyoming, Colorado, Ne
braska and other states, and the other
is the effort of the government to
force the Southern Pacific to sell its
100000 acres in Oregon to settlers at
the price fixed in the grant, $3.50 per
acre.
The people are praying for the sue
cess of both movements.
The government is now, at this late
day, realizing the folly of the past,
which prompted congress to give away
such priceless empires of the public
domain.
1t must have been apparent to con-
gress at the time these grants were
made, that within an incredible short
time, the land given away would be
worth incalculable sums to the people.
Other like tendencies were forecasted.
Congress anticipated other develop
ments. Congress recognized the fu-
ture values of land when 1t purchased
Louisiana, Alaska, and when it took
Oregon by discovery and Texas by
conquest. Was it not possible to fore
see the value of the immense grants
made to these railroads in the very
heart of the country?
There will always be a lingering
suspicion in the minds of many that
the land grants were honeycombed
with corruption, that in the inception
of these grants was born the lant
frauds of the nation, the one monster
parent of all frauds.
Partial retribution can be made
to the present generation by restoring
these lands to the people. The wrong
will never be righted, but it will have
been palliated somewhat by the restor
alton of the remaining ragged edges o
the vast land grants to the homeless
hordes of the nation.

TIME FOR A CORN CROP.

1t is almost time for another corn
crop in Umatilla county. A real good
crop has not been raised in the county
for four years. One season the coun-
ty produced $4,000 bushels of good
corn-just as good as any grown in
North Dakota.
Just what the real objection to rails
ing corn in Umatilla county is, has not
been satisfactorily explained by any
one yet. The corn grows we'll. 1t ma
lures early. 1t fills well. 1t yields fair
ly WELL It sells well. 1t is good feed.
1t helps the land. 1t kills out the
weeds through the cultivation 1t re-
ceives. 1t makes a crop and gives a
return where land is ordinarily sum-
mer fallowed.
Julius Hudemann, the prosperous
farmer of Myrick, raises good corn
on his barley land. Last year he rais-
ed 81 sacks of barley on land which
produced 25 bushels of corn per acre
the year before. Others who did not
raise corn, raised no more barley than
this and many of them who did not
raise corn did not get as much barley.

WILL UMATILLA LISTEN?

The electric car line age is knocking
at the door of Umatilla county. The
promising field in the rich irrigated
sections of the county offer exception
al advantages for such lines and wher-
ever the opportunity offers, capital
will be found to put the dream into
execution.
Pendleton holds the key to the situ-
alton in Umatilla county it seems. By
securing the right of way from Pen
dleton to Holdman for an extension of
the Open River Transportation line
which is now surveyed to Holdman,
she would secure the extension of that
line and thus establish direct commu-
nication between this city and Her
miston, Holdman, Cold Springs, the
Columbia river and all the rich Sec
ton which will be tributary to the
government irrigation project.
The plan is already half executed

Holdman has been surveyed and the
right of way practically secured. Will

has ever come this way is knocking
at the doors of Pendleton.
Surely Pendleton can build the lint

Too many of us are at war with
imaginary enemies, too many of us
waste strength IN suffering imaginary
wrongs. Enough real things in life to
keep the average man or woman busy
for lifetime. Let the imaginary
troubles take care of themselves. Let
the bridges of life be crossed when we
reach them and not months and years
in advance. If the strength wasted
in Imaginary conflicts were devoted to
enjoying the real blessings, the real
pleasures of life, the age limit would
be extended beyond the three score

THE EXPOSITION HUMBUG.

People who have revered James
town, Va, for its historic associations
and who have looked forward with
pleasure to the jamestown exposition,
will regret to learn that the exposi-
ton is not at jamestown, but 35 miles
distant on Palm Beach, an isolated
summer resort on Hampton Roads.
other people who love Alaska and
who have been delighted with a real
Alaskan exposition, are equally as
sadly disappointed to know that the
promised Alaskan exposition to be
held in 1909 will not be held in Alas
ka at all, but nthe suburbs of Seattle
and is strictly a Seattle enterprise.
And so the exposition industry has
degenerated into a purely advertising
and business affair, with a remote and
far-fetched historic event to build up
on.
Hereafter the government of the
United States should really stay out
of the exposition business. If COM
munities desire to hold advertising ex-
positions, they should do so upon their
own resources. But there should be
a bona fide and substantial national
foundation in fact, before congress
should appropriate any more large
sums for expositions.

delphia, the Louisiana Purchase expo
sition at st. Louis, and the Lewis and

1t is wrong impression, it seems,

TRAINlNe FoR TAE NEeRo.

The Washington Herald Of recent
date contains an enlightening inter
view with Charles Heron, manufac
turer of Chattanooga, Tenn, and a
large employer of. negro labor, on
the industrial deficiencies of the lat
ter race, and the most feasible rem
edy.
While conceding that the race, as a
whole, is afflicted with growing per.
centage Of shiftless individuals. Mr..
Heron speaks optimistically, as fol.
lows:
THE proportion of industrious
negroes to the total number is nearly
as large as among the white people.
What the negro race needs is more
discipline and training to do the ac-
tual work that is to be done. They
should receive manual training in the
schools. Many are acquiring proper.
ty and are an asset in the industrial
South, but the younger generation
needs training, and should have it,
no matter how much il COSTS"
Mr.. Herrons views gather import.
ance from the fact that he has been
brought into close contact with the
negro laborer and is intimately ac-
quainted with his shortcomings.
What he SAYS with reference to the
ACCESSIBILITY Of manual training is in
exact accord with the attitude often
reiterated by The Constitution.
Had the wellmeaning but misguid.
ed philanthropists of the North spent
one-tenth of the money they have in.
vested in colleges and universities
for the few promising specimens of
the cultured negro" on the manual
training of the great mass of the race,
the South would not today, perhaps,
be facing so serious shortage in labor.
The negro himself, moreover, would
be vastly the gamer, He would be
equipped for the practical occupa-
tions for which he is eminently fitted.
The tendency Of the higher edu-
cation ON the other hand, has been
to turn out a few thousand dissatis-
fed negro teachers and preachers and |
men, for whom there is
little room in the South and to leave
neglected the great bulk of the eleven
millions Of the race upon the welfare
Of which the present si1 the future
Of this strangely isolated people must
depend
It is not yet too late for the would
be friends of the negro to so revise
heir policies as to do justice to the
