CHAMP CLARK SHOWS 'EM.

Congressman Champ Clark of Mis-
souri, has sent this letter to a Wash
ington newspaper:
an your issue OF Sunday, October
20, you have picture Of S. G. Brink
ley of Magnetic City. n. c., whose
beard reaches to the floor when he
stands erect, and is called a record
beard.
81 desire to state that the article is
misleading. AS compared with some
of my constituents this man has mere
ly goatee. have two valued friends
both living In the same township in
Pike county, Missouri, whose boards
put those of Mr.. Brinkley and the
Prophet Aaron to shame.
"Mr. Valentine Tapley of Spencer
burg. Mo-, has a beard that measures
IL feet inches in length. Judge
Elijah Gates of the village of Curry
vile, has a beard az feet long
Missouri, in boards, as in other
good things, leads the world"

CORN 200 WAYS.

1.-TWO hundred distinct dishes may
be made from corn, all palatable. and
all for a few cents EACH" said John
w Sharman, of Cincinnati. Mr..
Sharman has extensive cornfields out
west. The average person doesn't
know corn, to great extent. will take
the place of meat. II has fully the
food value of meat and is not heat
ing, and Is. of course, much cheaper.
For few cents one may always
have a plentiful supply, and 1t should
be kept in every we'll appointed
household. 1t would be no trouble
at all to furnish a daily bill of fare
Of corn alone for several months. The
simplest things. OF course, is the pone
or dodger that the Indians baked on
the rocks-simply a little corn meal
mixed with salt. They parched the
corn first and then ground 1t into
me al They mixed It with the salt
from the ticks and called 1t jour
ney cake, for they would halt to make
It while on a journey. From this we
have the corruption Johnny cake
The Indians had a more elaborate
dish. something like the pannhaus.
It was a porridge in which they mix
ed bits Of fish or game and berries,
and the nearest thing we have to it
is Philadelphia scrapple, made from
beef livers and the delicate flakes Of
meat from pigs heads"

PRODUCTIVE USIATTLLA.

1t is conservatively estimated that
the wealth produced in Umatilla
county during the year 1907 will
amount to fully $500 for each man.
woman and child in the county.
AS the population is estimated now
at about $4,000, this would mean that
the total wealth produced this year
amounts to s11,OOO,OOO.
This seems to be an enormous sum
for county having an area of about
3Os6 square miles, sparsely settled in
many parts, only partially developed
in other parts and lacking transpor-
tation facilities in still other parts.
But a glance at the record bears
out the statement. The 5000, 900
bushel wheat crop, alone, is worth
S4,2OO.OOO, when valued at 20 cents
per bushel. The flour product of the
county amounts to about $2,500, 900,
and the sheep and wool output adds
another S2,0OO,OOO, to say nothing Of
barley, oats, hay, cattle, horses, fruit,
hogs, cord wood. lumber manufac-
lures and lesser products which go to
swell the enormous total.
When the county is fully developed,
when irrigation reclaims its wastes,
and railroads are built into its i'm
mense timber belts, the output of
wealth will be easily doubled, as will
also the population. within a few
years.
The western one-third of the coun-
ty from Barnhart west, is capable Of
supporting a population Of at least
$4,000 people. The irrigated belt can
be cut up into small tracts and will, in
time, be a solid village settlement.
When that time comes and every
small parcel Of irrigated land is pro-
ducing to its utmost capacity, the
total wealth production Of the county
will exceed $500 per capita, by long
odds.
In it's present undeveloped stage,
Umatilla county has made a marvel
GUS record in rolling up $500 for
every man, woman and child in the
county in one year.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-11-27

The Hermiston Independent, a new
addition to the newspaper family Of
Umatilla county, is bright, newsy
paper devoted to the upbuilding Of
Hermiston and the west end Of Una
tilla county. Harry R. Burke, a
young man of excellent ability and
considerable experience, is editor Of
the paper and the Independent starts
out with a good patronage and brim
full of live news. The East Oregonian
hopes that the Hermiston Independ-
ent is not to be the official organ of
either the least side" or the west
side" in Hermiston, but that 1t will
be a representative of the entire town
and every legitimate interest in the
town of Hermiston and western UNA
tilla county. The tone Of the paper
leads one to believe that 1t will rise
above the local divisions in Hermis-
ton and that 1t will stand for the good
Of its town and county, first, last and
ever. Here's the glad hand.

the skin OF the angry bull, are more
worrying more dreaded by the animal
than the cleaning sword OF the mata-
dor.
1t is the little stingIng arrows
which cause the bull to lose his
nerve and plunge wildly about the
arena, an easy victim to the artistic
thrust OF the bull fighter.
And 1t is much the same in life,
The most horrible form of death is
the worry death. the death caused
by fear and direful anticipations and
overestimated troubles.
The little singing thrusts worry
the keen pangs of imagined trouble
sink deep into the vitality of life and
soon undermine It and it tumbles
down as house with the foundation
eaten away by worms.
The self-control OF the sane man
or woman should be stronger than
any germ OF worry which may enter
the life. The mind should rise SUI
preme above these insignificant BAN
derillas of trouble. Serene and sane
and self-possessed, the mind should
tower above worry like a very Mt. |
Hood Of white purity and matchless
beauty.
The worry death is a terrible death.
1t kills quickly and surely II you al
low the germs to increase and eat
away your vitality. You become an
easy victim to the really dangerous
things which you often meet in life,
II your strength has been dissipated |
in worrying over small things. You
are like the bull rendered helpless |
and exhausted by plunging wildly |
here and there in response to the little
jabs while exposing himself needless
ly to the sword of the matador.

'sTHE JOYS OF BOARDING" :"

A characteristic cartoon in Tues
days Portland Oregonlan shows what
will happen when people foolishly be-
gin to withdraw their savings and de-
posits from banks to hoard them at
home for safe keeping.
The money will not only be spent
little by little, as the temptation is
ever close at hand, but the fact that
people are boarding money at home
will invite the burglar, hold-up and
thug to begin operations and a reign
Of crime will follow such a policy
Every dollar should be left in the
banks where it is now on deposit. 1t
is safe there and is always available
as a part of the circulating medium
Of the country. Hoard 1t up at home
and take it out of circulation and
hard times will certainly follow, in
spite of the prosperity.
Under the present social system
money is necessary in conducting
business and in carrying on the in
dustries of the country and the banks
are the principal source of supply, so
II you drain the banks and hoard up
millions of deposits at home, where
it will be taken out Of the channels
Of business, the money stringency will
not only continue, but will actually
become disastrous.
The people can add to or relieve the
present stringency by wise and prac-
teal conduct. They can make 1t op-
pressive, locally, by Withdrawing
funds from banks already weakened
by paying out heavily to carry on
the industries OF the country, or they
can give strength and stability to
those banks by standing loyalty by
them, by leaving their money in cir
culation and by courageously oppos-
ing any attempt to undermine the
resources of any legitimate institu-
ton.

THE WINE OF YOUTH.

There, when the corn was swapping,
And apples sizzed and steamed,
With Grandad slyly mapping,
My sweetest dreams were dreamed
The winter wind, snow-laden,
Coaxed up the roaring flames,
And there a rosy maiden
Sat by and played me games;
There Love, who heard the cllnklng
or glasses, came and saw
Two happy lovers drinking
Sweet cider through n straw.
snug g-sheltered from the weather,
At Boreas we laughed,
And auenched our thirst together
In that cool amber draught.
That drink of Grandad's making.
Pressed in the mill hard by.
Set no light head to aching,
Turned no bright speech awry.
Stilted are the clicking glasses,
Long vanished is your smile,
oh roslest OF lasses:
But still l dream. and while
My gray mustache I'm dipping
In wine without a flaw.
see your red lips slipping
Sweet cider through straw.

FEAR KILLS EFFICIENCY.

Some people are always suffering
from some peculiar phase OF fear.
They are apprehensive that some
great misfortune is coming to them,
that they are going to lose their
money or their position; or they are
afraid OF accident. or that some fatal
disease is developing in them. If
their children are away they see them
in all sorts Of catastrophes-rallroad
wrecks, burning cars, or shipwrecks.
They are always picturing the worst.
You never can tell what will hap
pen," they say. "and 1t is better to
prepare for the worst"
The man who lives under this ter
rible shadow Of impending danger,
with this dread that something is go
ing to happen to his business, his
family, or himself, is in no condition
to ward off the evil before which he

ENCOURAGING GRAFT.

The San Francisco Star, in COM
menting on the suggestion of the East
Oregonian that water power and elec-
trio energy should be stored and re-
tained in the possession of the whole
people, and not monopolized by pri-
vate corporations, says that the loose
and flimsy laws by which corpora
tions are now able to monopolize such
public utilities, invite graft and dis
honesty It is just like laying a juicy
bone in the path Of a hungry dog, ex-
pectlng him to pass by and leave it
untouched.
The Star says that men with greedy
instincts are encouraged In gathering
up the peoples wealth for private
use; the laws are so constructed that
they invite plunder; the worst in
stincts in men are cultivated, tempted
and developed, until the greed and
arrogance Of the Rockefellers, Harri-
mans, Rogers, Goulds and Wander
bilts result.
It is true that the people are to
blame for much Of the dishonesty
and oppression practiced by the
criminal combinations. The power is
in the peoples hands, II they will but
exercise their own minds and quit lis
tening to the sirens Of selflshness who
lure them into voting against their
own interests. But independence Is
slowly dawning.
