PRESERVE YOUR CREDIT.

There is probably no asset with
which a young man can start out in
his active business life, aside from a
strong, healthy body, a clear head and
clean heart, that will in the long
run prove of more benefit to him
than the habit he may acquire of
promptly paying the financial obli-
cations which circumstances may
compel him to incur.
1t is fact, perhaps not generally
known, that the business men of most
all towns of any size have books con-
tanning the financial rating of all
people, young or old, who have busi-
ness dealings with them; hence it is
a most sensible and commendable
thing for the young man just starting
out to see that his name is entered in
the proper column, not with the all
round deadheads, but, rather, in that
which is headed, Sure pay for any
amount" 1t is not only profitable for
the young man, but source of salts
faction to the merchant, when he can
place his customer in this class.
A fellows financial rating bears
about the same relation to him as does
his shadow, being a thing that has a
faculty of following him around from
place to place and at times going be-
fore him, and it is a good idea to keep
it in the best repair. He should con-
tract no obligation which he has rea-
son to believe he cannot meet. Hav-
ing contracted a debt, he should see
that it is paid promptly.
Good credit is often better than
money for a young man. He who
possesses it, together with good judg-
ment and good habits, can accomplish
almost anything he desires.

BEGINNING OF SUMMER.

June 1, the beginning of summer.
Summer means much in Umatilla
county. 1t is filled full of vital things.
Perhaps in no other spot on the Pa
cific coast is there such a marvellous
production of crops as here. Today
1t is conservatively estimated that
1000, 900 bushels Of wheat will be har-
vested from the green stretches Of
the Umatilla county wheat belt. This
alone is a crop for an empire.
But think of the additional varied
resources of the county on this first
day of the summer. All her ware
houses are filled with wool which is
worth as much or more this summer
than ever before. All her hills are
covered with sheep, all her irrigated
districts are blossoming and ripening
into fruitage, all her alfalfa fields are
knee deep in verdure.
Really it is worth while to live in
Umatilla county.

while she is making a success of in
tensive farming and high class fruit
growing, she is also upholding and
promoting the best possible standards
ot citizenship and morals. For IS
years she has not permitted a saloon
in her limits, and yet she is making
excellent material progress. She is
paying her bills, adding municipal
conveniences, improving her streets,
roads and public utilities and is build

which will insure her good, perma-

turn instinctively and make three low
bows in the direction of New England.
The belief is all but universal that
nearly all our literature was produced
by little group of authors who lived
around Concord. and gathered lat odd
times to hear Emerson lecture on the
transcendental concept of the Infi-
mite Was.
Longfellow and Lowell, and Haw-
thorne and Thoreau. and especially
Emerson-these ar the names that
every schoolboy has been taught to
regard as burning and shining lights
in the midst of our literary darkness.
Now, we cheerfully admit the
greatness and the importance of these
early masters in the art of words.
Hawthorne, especially, holds our re-
gard as the author of the greatest
American romance, and, even if Lo<-
ell had been destitute of the literary
genius with which, in fact, he was so
richly endowed, we should honor him
forever for the fight he put up
against human slavery.
And yet, we 'unhesitatingly affirm
that American literature would suf-
fer more severely by the loss of the
western authors than even by the loss
of the Concord group.
Nye and Gene Field, and Joaquin
Miller; Edwin Markham and Patience
Stapleton and Bret Harte; Jack Lon
don and Stewart Edward White. and
the noblest of them all, Mark Twain
these make q group which will suf-
fer even in comparison with that of
Concord.
Best of all, the western authors are
distinctively American. Much of Low
ellis and most of Longfellow's work
could have been written as well on
one side of the Atlantic as on the
other. Hawthorne was never English.
but it is only in his Scarlet Letter.
that he is distinctively American. But
Field, and Miller, and White, and
Twain are sons of the soil They are
American in every breath, and, while
the world at large would feel their
loss, it would fall with peculiar hard
ship on America and on the west.
Most of these men turned toward
the sunset lands in their youth, seek
ing health, adventure. gold-any of
the thousand things which have set
the race a-wandering since time be-
gan.
Some of them were born to the
western purple, notably Twain and
London. All of them have known life
in the raw. All of them have seen
and known the sweep and force of
| the primitive passions, the primitive
impulses, unchecked by settled GUS
tom and unhampered by any demand
for prudence. All of them have
breathed in the candor, the kindly hu-
NOR which seems to come of the great
plains and mountains. And the re-
suit has been literature.
We know we are treading on dan
gerous ground, but for ourselves we
put Gene Field above Whittier, and
London above Thoreau, and hold Mark
Twain the greatest figure In our lit
erature. If this be treason, make the
most of It,

To Prevent Smuggling.

The president has issued a procla-
nation creating a reservation 60 feet
in width along the northern border
Of Mexico, including the state of
California and the territories of Ari-
zcna and New Mexico. The purpose
of the reservation is declared in the
presidential proclamation to be the
suppression of smuggling across the
international line. Private entries in
the line Of the projected reservation
and such portions OF it as are needed
for roads, are reserved from the op-
Grafton of the order. Since the aboIi-
tion of the old "zona llbre" or free
zone between Mexico and the United
States 1t has been found difficult to
prevent smuggling across the boun-
dary, hence the proclamation.

Spring and Summer Catarrh.

There is form of catarrh especially
prevalent in spring and summer, called
by DR.. Hartman systemic catarrh.
This form of catarrh especially de-
ranges the stomach, bowels and other
organs of the abdomen. The whole
mucous tract lining the stomach, liver,
bowels and kidneys is in an infiamed
condition, and these organs fail to per-
form thei- proper function.
Systemic catarrh may be or may not
be accompanied by catarrh in other
parts of the body. In some cases there
is hacking cough. 1t may be also as
sociated with catarrh in the head.
But, in typical cases of systemic ca
tarrh all the organs of the abdomen are
in q weakened and sluggish condition.
Dyspepsia and Biiiousness.
Sometimes it is called dyspepsia, at
other times biliousness, or the patient
may be suspected of having kidney dis
ease or appendicitis.
Systemic catarrh presents symptoms
which resembl" closely sreat many

Bryan,s Trophies Stolen

Denver.-Many handsome presents
from royalty and nobility of many
foreign lands, gathered on a globe cir
cling tour, were stolen from the resi-
dence of Mrs. Rube Bryan Leavitt here
recently.
The theft was discovered by neigh
Dor, who heard some one in the house.
The thief managed to escape before an
alarm could be given. The Leavitts
were absent from the city and were APP
prised of this theft upon returning.
The collection. was highly valued by
Mrs. Leavitt, as it was present from
hsr father William Jennings Bryan.
Thu rticles were principally presents
made him by notables of many coun-
t les during his recent tour of the
world.
