SORROWS OF THE CHAPERON :


IF being a successful chaperon
consists in having good time, then

lar young married woman. "If. on

ABANDONING SPAIN.

Consul General B. II. laidgely, in
report from barcelona, says that one
rather startling feature has been the
increased emigration from Galicia to
South America. particularly to Argen-
tina, of which he furnishes the fol-
lowing detils.
In one instance a whole village
composed of some 1000 men, women
and children, finding it Impossible to
earn their living, emigrated to Para
quay, their transportation having been
paid by the government of that coun-
try.
There has always been more or less
emigration from Spain to the Philip
pine islands, Cuba and Porto Rico,
and during 1906 this was but slightly
increased.
South America seems to be the
Mecca of the Spanish emigrant. and
this fact was accentuated during
1906. The German and English
steamship lines are conducting a Wig
orous campaign in their effort to
stimulate emigration and have invad-
ed nearly every corner of Spain with
their agents and their literature.
The North German Lloyd and Ham
will be used to operate thetramway,
active in the northern and northwest
ern provinces, while Spanish and Ital-
ian companies are handling business
from the southern ports.

UNKNOWN WONDERS.

For years we have advertised and
gloated over the Natural bridge" of
Virginia as one of the wonders of the
world. People have made pilgrim
ages for thousands of miles to look
upon this insignificant freak of ma
ture and have surveyed it with some-
thing akin to ave.
When, 10, here in Utah are three
natural bridges, all greater in natural
characteristics, all larger, all more
glorious in their settings than the Vir-
ginia bridge.
And so it is with other features of
the United States.
People have gone into ecstacies over
the Adirondacks, the Catskills, the AL
legheny mountains, the little trickling
hot springs of West Virginia and Indi-
ana and Kentucky, while in Idaho,
Oregon and Washington are far more
wonderful mineral springs, if devel-
oped and improved by the addition
of fine buildings and costly equip
ment.
Here in the west, hidden away in
Umatilla county, are mountain scenes
surprising anything in the AdirOn-
dacks and yet nothing is said of these
western wonders. In the Canadian
Rockies are mountain peaks as su-
perb as those of Switzerland, but the
trip to Canada is commonplace, while
the trip to Switzerland is romantic
That makes the trip to Switzerland
attractive.
The East Oregonian believes that
the time is not far distant when these
natural wonders of the west which
are now unknown will be the rally
ing places for hundreds of thousands
OF tourists every year. 1t only lacks
advertising to make the west the
summer resort from the entire United
States.
Such attractions as Wallowa lake,
Minam river, Eagle Cap peak, Olive
lakes, Powder river lakes, Bingham
Springs, Lehman Springs, the John
Day canyon, Upper Mckay creek and
other beautiful spots in eastern Ore
gon will some day attract thousands
of tourists, for these places have gen.
uine merit and beauty and offer un-
rivaled advantages as summer resorts
and recreation camps.
Some of the best things in the west
are yet practically unknown to the
east.

NATURES WAY.

If thou didst slip meath the encircl-
ing wave.
And found sure death in coral
groves below,
Dost think the sea Ger thy unresting
head
Would check one moment of its ebb
or flow?
If thou dldst lie meath the entombing
earth,
Drawn down there by allotted sands
had run,
Dost think one flower unspringing
from the clay
Would pause and droop, refuse to
meet the sun?
If thou were dead and didst en-
shrouded lie,
Wept by one heart that hung by
thee forlorn.
Dost think at cold or hunger's claim
ing call
This heart would stay beside thy
grave to mourn?
How small a thing thou art in Ma
ture's plan
To her proved useless, out! all
careless tossed.
Nor would she let one flower OF
heart-string break
In grief for thee-who hadst
whole world lost

A HOME IN THE HEART.

Oh, ask not home in the mansions
of pride,
Where marble shines out in the pill
lars and walls;
Though the roof be of gold, 1t Is
brilliantly cold,
And joy may not he found in its
torch-light halls.
But seek for a bosom all honest and
true,
Where love, once awakened. will
never depart;
Turn, turn to that breast like the
dove to its nest,
And you'll find there's no home like
a home in the heart.
oh, link but one spirit that's warm
ly sincere,
That will heighten your pleasure
and solace your care;
Find soul you may trust as the kind
and the just,
And be sure the wide world holds no
treasure so rare.
Then the frowns of misfortune may
shadow our lot,
The cheek-bearing tear drops OF
sorrow may start,
But star never dim shines a halo
for him
Who can turn for repose to a home
in the heart.
