DREAM OF THE ToILER.

Beyond the CRIME ana the factory

What is the voice that forever calls.
And bids me roam from the noisy
town? 4.
I hear the din on the stony pave,
Where the hot winds rove in an end

slopes.
And scented winds from clover
fields,
Where springs new life and stronger
hopes
The sweeter life that nature
yields;
The roar of traffic is in my ears
1t was music once. but grinding
now;
on every side are doubts and fears,
And the god of greed to which men
bow.
I hear the whistle, the changing gong
The teamster's shout and the surging
throng;
A moments pause in the throbbing
strife.
To dream of paths where blossoms
lurk,
Where earth gives fresh, new-spring'
ing life,
And then-to bend again to work

CHARITY FOR THE THIEF?

Charity is one Of the best of the
virtues. Its practice really exalts one.
It is always in order to bestow benign
benediction upon the erring.
But there are cases where even
sweet charity should be denied.
There are instances Of thievery in
which even God should forget the
thief. 50 bold and dastardly have his
crimes been.
It is said that the reason that John
A. Benson and his partner, Perrin,
the California land thieves, got such
light sentences, is that they are old.
A Jail sentence would have been ex-
tremely wearing on their constitutions.
But they have used their rugged
constitutions to rob the United States
government Of millions Of acres of
timber land. They have maintained
elegant offices in San Francisco in
which nothing but fraudulent trans
actions were conducted. They have
made the bribery OF government
clerks, officials and employees bust.

on the weaknesses Of needy men like
vampires. securing forbidden inform

AND NOW THE LUMBER TRUST.

Secretary James r. Garfield of the
interior department, says, after a trip
through the northwest, that the lum-
ber trust will be investigated.
A THOUSAND hammers and saws of
idle carpenters will sound a hearty
Amen to that announcement. This
trust has locked up the tool chests of
more carpenters and rusted the trow-
els Of more stone masons, than any
other evil influence which ever set
tied upon the building movement in
the northwest.
Building has been actually stopped,
except where it was absolutely neces-
sary, by the extortion of the sawmill
combination of the northwest. PEN
dleton is not alone in this stagnation
in the building industry, but every
other town in the northwest has felt
the same benumbing hand at its
throat.
People of the northwest will rejoice
to see this trust throttled by the
Roosevelt administration. They will
cooperate with any movement to de-
stroy its grasp upon the country.

APPLES IN FRANCE.

The Idaho state agricultural associ-
alton is trying to make arrangements
to ship apples direct to France. This
is all right II properly done, but our
apple barrels are too big to suit the
small dealers in the French markets.
What they want Is a little package
something like a bushel crate and
they want the apples packed nicely.
They don't want any wormy ones
and they don't want any bruised ones.
When they open one OF our barrels
and find a dozen apples mashed in
to make room for the head they shrug
their shoulders and make faces.
American apple growers have some
thing to learn before they can posi-
bly, succeed in sending fruit to foreign
markets. We have the goods all right
enough. but we are too thick-headed
to put them up in a pleasing manner.
Another thing that don't suit the
French consumer is our coarse red
apple. Any kind Of pumpkin will
sell in this country provided only
that 1t is red and shaped like an ap-
pie. In France they prefer russets
because usually russets have quality

vocalist sings to a young man who
always sits in the right hand stage

he is greatly embarrassed he leaves

from the balcony.
A young woman has sat in the box
with him every performance but one

THE FALSE PREACHER.

In the Portland oregonian of Sat-
urday, "Frenchy'' Grafton, owner Of
the Milwaukee gambling club build
ing at Milwaukee, consoles himself
that he, himself, is not a gambler,
that he did not conduct the rozzer
games in the club house-no. he only
built the house for the gamblers and
rented it to them at enormous prices.
He is a saint, purist, a winged angel,
an exalted type Of citizenship.
Too many people have an idea that
because they do not actually engage
in vice, that their hands are clean.
They may rent buildings for the most
vile purposes, and yet themselves re-
pose in the bosom of society, white
saints Of purity and cleanliness.
Bosh! Away with such rot The
man who builds and owns den Of
vice, whether for gambling or other
purposes. is as guilty as the miserable
wretches whose lives are stultified.
wasted and festered in them. The
man who rents a den, knowing that
1. Is used for vile purposes, is as vile
as the occupants and no amount OF
sophistry will clean his hands or free
his soul from the stain Of It.

NOT COMPULSORY, HARTMAN.

Mr.. Hartman has surveyed the en-
pire of central Oregon and beheld the
promise of that rich region. He rec
ognizes that all that is lacking to make
that a marvelously active and rich
section of country, is transportation
facilities.
But under the private ownership
of railroads. it is not compulsory on
Mr.. Hartman or any other railroad
builder to construct the one vital line
of road needed to redeem that coun-
try.
When a postoffice was needed there,
the government established it. When
a mail route was required to serve
the people of that far section, the
government ordered it established
There was no juggling, no jockeying,
no maneuvering, no "monkeying."
The postoffice and the mail routes
were established when the need OF
them was made apparent to the gov
ernment.
Does it not stand to reason that
railroads would be built into such re-
mote yet rich sections, without delay,
without jobbery or discrimination,
under government ownership?
Mr.. Hartman does not have to
build. The country may wait.

DEVELOP THE OBJECTIVE MIND

The number of students who are
working at original research is now
comparatively large. Where 20 years
ago a course in science meant almost
invariably a course in a text book
nowadays even high school students
are set at work experimenting. In
ano article in the London Times en-
gineering supplement for July 10
Prof. w. E. Ayrton complains that
very few research students are prop
erly equipped. To make first-class
discovery in science it is necessary,
not so much that one should have
taken this or that course or received
this or that degree, but that he should
have u genuine desire to find out
about some particular thing. Says
Professor Ayrton:
"I only wish that better machinery
were used for discovering men and
women with this hunger for inquiry,
and what I sincerely deprecate is the
wasting of the endowments that exist
for this purpose on those whose only
hunger is for the funds with which
they are supplied.
"The notion that scientific research
can only be undertaken after years OF
preliminary study is disproved by the
inventions of Pacinotti, Gramme, and
Tesla: yet it is still sustained by the
University of London, who require no.

oregon continues to ship live hogs,
bacon and lard from Nebraska and
Iowa. This is excellent for the trans
portation companies, but it is fierce
on the consumers who pay the freight
and the profits Of the dealers. The
southern half of Umatilla county,
where barley and hogs are native to
the soil. should produce enough hogs
to supply eastern Oregon. There are
untold fortunes in that portion Of

LET Us FILL THE PAVILION.

AS the features of the county fair
are developed from day to day it is
plainly evident that it is going to be
the best event of the kind ever held
east Of the Cascade mountains and it
will crowd the state fair to a close
rub for first place in many features.
The fair commissioners are doing
their part to make the fair attractive.
They are securing every feature which
money can buy to add to its interest.
The music which has Just been secur-
ed for the week cannot be surpassed
in the northwest and other attrac-
tions will be in keeping with this.
Now let the people who raise the
agricultural products, in these two
great counties, do their part toward
filling the pavilion full to the top
with displays of their crops. This is
your fair. 1t is designed for the bene-
fit and pleasure of the agricultural
population of the counties. Get your
shoulders to the wheel. Your services
are needed.
There is going to be plenty of room
for everything. There is going to be

They have made plunder a studied,

men employed at high salaries TO rob

wanton crime it is said that they can
