BADLY MIXED UP.

Abraham Brown of Winterton. N. Y, had
very remarkable experience; he says;
Doctors got badly mixed up over me; one
said heart disease; two called it kidney
trouble; the fourth. blood poison, and the
fifth stomach and liver trouble; but none of
them helped me; so my wife advised trying
Electric Bitters. which are restoring me to
perfect health. One bottle did me more
good than all the five doctors prescribed"
Guaranteed to cure blood poison, weakness
and all stomach, liver and kidney complaints.

COMPETITION SUPPRESSED.

The report of the special attorneys

esneral of the United States take ac-
hin TO annul the contract between
No Union Pacific and Rock Island
s1roads for the control of the Chi
ago and Alton railroad, which was
virtually wrecked by the Hartman
indicate. The most startling an
rouncemeht in this report is that
nIlroad competition has been sup
messed in an area equal to one-third
q the United States" and that the
Profits Of the great railroads of the
M West are being used to buy
EOcks and control systems in the
last instead of building more roads
iu the development of the West"
YET after this exposure of the deals
Of Hartman and other railroad mag
nates they are indignant that the
legislatures of the States included in
De area equal to one-third of the

compel railroad corporations to
charge reasonable rates instead of
attracting vast sums from the public
70 buy the stocks of Eastern railroads.
The fact that the Acknowledgement of

protect the public interests shows that
The chief reliance of the plundered
people must be through their own
tRct representatives in their State
legislatures, rather than the procras-
mating action Of Federal officials.

Speaker Cannon was IN Washington
last week and it is said that he had
a long conference with the President,
just before the departure Of the lat
ter for Virginia, over the possibility
of tariff legislation at the next session
of Congress. The prospect is not at
all bright. Speaker Cannon was
averse TO touching the tariff on the
eve of a national election, and in this
he is understood to have the backing
of the leaders In both houses Of
Congress. This probably settles IL,
for in matters of tariff legislation,

a PRESIDENTS VACATION,


The President returned to Wash
ington last week from a short out
ing at Mrs. Rooseveit's lodge at Pine
Knot, Va. He was away from the
city about week, shot a little and
rode a great deal. He is looking
much better from the outing and will
put in the time working till the start
is made for the long outing of the
whole family at oyster Bay, where
they will spend the summer Secre-
tary Loeb has already shipped most
of the office furniture for the tempo
rary executive Office that the Presi-
dent occupies over one of the stores
in Oyster Bay, and the home of the
family at Sycamore Hill will be kept
as free as possible from visitors in the
rather vain hope of giving the Presi.
dent real rest. His way of resting
is rather a joke and amounts to what
would be good days work for most
men. There is about as much bust
ness carried ON in the summer at
oyster Bay as there is at the White
house in the winter, but the Presi.
dent has told some of his friends
laughingly that he intends to be good
this Summer and will merely get off
some reams of literary work as recre-
alton.
1t is understood that this will In
clude some more reviews of Irish folk
lore. This was comparatively recent
line of research by Mr.. Roosevelt. He
is said 70 have been introduced to
it last winter by DIR. Maurice Francis
Egan, the professor of the Catholic
university, who has been offered his
choice between the mission to Den
mark and that to Portugal. DR.. Egan
is himself an Irishman as might be
suspected from his name and is au-
thority on Gaelic literature. He got
the President interested in the sub
iect, which he promptly devouted, and
when Douglas Hyde, the president of
the Gaelic League, was here in the
winter ehe was surprised to find that
the President apparently had no
recreation except studying the Irish
classics Then when the row came
on with Tillman, Chandler and Bailey
over the rate bill, the President decid-
cd that he would divert himself lit
tie and forget what the papers we're
saying about him, He started work
on his magazine article, 'The Irish
sagas," promptly forgot all about
politics outside of Office hours, and by
the time the partisan papers had
gotten through dissecting the rate bill
row, the magazine article was finished
and the President had missed the
bulk of the newspaper criticism.

A GLANCE AT THE INTERIOR.

In the vicinity of Ritter, Grant
comfy, SIS miles south Of Pendleton,
are between $50 and 500 fat hoss
ready to be driven out to this city :.
market.
1t will require about 10 days to
drive them out and it is not safe to
start with them until after a rain to
furnish water and cool off the atmos-
phere. 1t is not more than 10 hours
run for a slow train from Pendleton
to Ritter, but it will require that
many days to bring out the hogs on
foot. Ten times this number of hogs
would be raised in that vicinity II
they could be shipped out by rail.
This season Pendleton cattle buyers
have purchased $500 head of fat cat
tie in the vicinity of Izee, Ritter and
John Day for shipment from this city
and for feeding in Umatilla county.
At least 100 head of team horses
from those localities have been mar
keted in Pendleton this season and
much of the money received for these
products of the interior has either
been sent back in supplies from this
city or is'now on deposit in Pendleton
banks.
For half of the distance from Pen
dleton to Ritter the road runs through
one of the most magnificent belts Of
timber now standing in the northwest,
and in the settlements on the other
side of the mountain in the John Day
country, are orchards bending with
fruit which must go to waste because
of a lack of transportation.
All these rich resources point to the
early extension Of the Pilot Rock
branch of the o. r. & n. into that
country For 100 miles into the In
ptOplc dle waiting lpl s-4~ NOiiA-
ing of this branch and the farther
the road is extended the greater will
be its profits and the more business
will 1t find waiting for its trains.
Southern Umatilla and Grant coun-
tv are not half developed on account
NJ noor transportat tion facilities. 1t
requires long hauls by wagon to
bring out the products and farmers
cannot afford to handle big crops with
this means Of transportation. One
railroad train a week into the John
Day country would more than double
the output Of produce of that section,
After Pilot Rock is reached by the
branch line, let US set the next mark
at Uklah and build toward that point.

SCHOOLS.

Considering that Umatilla county
has about 100 districts of all possible
kinds and conditions and that she has
about $500 school children Of even a
wider diversity Of character and kind,
the uniform success Of her schools,
both city and country, is really won
derful.
There must be cooperation be-
tween stud snts, parents, teachers, Of
flcers and superintendent where there
is such excellent progress under such
diverse conditions.
From the smallest rural district in
the remote corner Of Umatilla county
TO the largest school in the county and
perhaps the largest east Of the Cas-
cade mountains, in Pendleton, there
is a good school spirit.
This was proved, first, by the good
attendance Of teachers at last weeks
institute, and second, by the good at
tendance Of school officers at the d.
rectors meeting last Saturday These
meetings both demonstrated that
Umaulla county loves her schools and
is interested in their progress.
This county is receiving full value

from defects of the ear, nose and

To hearts come back, as children

Forgetful of the truant miles they

Swimming with amber air poured

And cool with the rich damp Of

Let us go home, my dear, let us go

They end the last green lane all
white with foam!
Let US go home, my dear, let us go
