WHEN DEBs WAS MANAGER.

For just one night l was general
manager of a great railroad though
1 never received any salary for the
service l rendered in that capacity.
The strike on the Great Northern.
extending from st. Paul to the coast,
was settled on the evening of May /,
1894. 1t was a complete victory for
the A. r. U.
President James j. Hill and 1 had
shaken hands and declared the hatch
ct buried. He said he was glad 1t was
over and assured me that he had no
Keeling Of resentment. As we stood
chatting in his office he said.
by the way, Debs, you'n have to
be my general manager tonight, for
the men won't go to work except upon
your orders"
/ said: "All right, sir, I'll guaran-
tee that by morning the trains will be
running on schedule time"
He seemed to be nettled and did
not blame him when he said:
How about my wages? l, too. am
an employe of the Great Northern
railway And since everybody gets a
raise, where do l come in ?"
He laughed heartily when ans
wered: "Join the American Railway
Union and we'll see that you get a
square deal."-Terra Haute Saturday

ADVERTISING THE WEST.

In Sunset Magazine for December
are advertisements of over 20 north
west and Pacific coast towns, all Of
them attractive, inviting and to. the
point. Results are sure to follow.
The 10000 copies of this magazine
reach actual homeseekers in the east
who are hungry for information con-
cerning the west.
In the same number of Sunset are
western articles and stories which
carry even a greater significance than
the display advertisement and taken
throughout this magazine will do an
excellent work this winter among
dissatisfied easterners.
Many who read these articles and
advertisements during the winter
will be ready to start west on the
first colonist train next spring and
the beauty of the situation is that
they will find that not half Of the
truth about Oregon has been told in
the articles nor in the advertise
ments. oregon has a thousand re-
sources "up her sleeve" which never
find their way into print

OLD MOTHERS.

love old mothers-mothers with
white hair,
And kindly eyes, and lips grown soft
ly sweet
With murmured blessings over sleep
ing babes.
There is something in their quiet
grace
That speaks the calm of Sabbath af.
ternoons;
A knowledge of their deep, unfaltering
eyes
That far outreaches all philosophy.
Time, with caressing touch, about
them weaves
The silver-threaded fary-shawl OF
age,
While all the echoes of forgotten
songs
Seem Joined to lend a sweetness to
their speech.
Old mothers!-as they pass with slow
timed step,
Their trembling hands cling gently to
to youths strength;
Sweet mothers!-as they pass, one
sees again
Old walks, old roses, and old
loves.

FOUR NEW LAWS.

During the winter. while the
VSters have time to read and think
ERey should investigate several of the
iaitiative measures to be presented
Nsr their consideration at the general
election next June.
Four especially important meas
ures are to be placed upon the bal
R1t next spring and the East Oregon
tzn especially invites the attention of
v5ters to their merits. They are as
follows:
To enact statement No. / into law
Csmpelling the legislature to recog-
win the peoples choice for United
Bztes senator.
To initiate the recall by which a
dishonest or incompetent official may
be recalled by a certain per cent of
She voters for cause at any time after
sEscton.
To prevent corrupt practices in
easctions by limiting election expen-
KS
To initiate the proportional repre-
cxntation act by which every politi-
GsA party may be represented in the
legislature according to its total vote,
6kus giving the dominant party the
same power it now possesses, but al
IN giving minority parties a proper
tionate representation.
These measures can be secured
from W. S. U'Ren of 4he Peoples
RozFer league. Oregon City and every
Rgrson interested in the welfare of
fhe state should read them carefully
This winter, in order to be qualified
- vote intelligently upon them next

THE MAGIC OF A WHITE DRESS

90 mother, how pretty you look!
"How sweet"
where are you going?"
"Guess!" l cried, I'm golng-go-
ing-going to stay right here with
you this afternoon" | ended enthu-
sastically. and | smiled. My little
ruse had succeeded. Just simple
white dress had created the atmos-
phere | wanted.
The children were cross; | was tired
and irritable; yet | wanted to be pa
tient and agreeable. l remembered
when a teacher how the school chill
dren had taken a dislike to a certain
dress | wore; they fancied | was al
ways cross in it. l recollected how
pleased they were over a new gown,
and especially over anything white.
They begged me always to wear
white. Now / was resolved to test
again the power of the white dress,
and to see whether it might not react
upon my tired nerves.
1t was a dull, rainy day, but had
warm fire. l selected a white wa st,
not too thin, and, alas, a little out
of style. Then l found my old pique
skirt, a bit mussed, but clean. 1
wore a dainty blue ribbon at my neck
and bow to match in my hair. A
string of blue beads completed my
costume. Last OF all, a lace-trimmed
handkerchief with a dash of cologne.
The third-reader class used to ad-
mire teachers handkerchief, so
nice an smelly!"
Now was ready for the afternoon,
and felt quite like entertaining three
restless children just recovering from
the measles. At the chorus of "ohs"
and "ahs' and the gentle pats on my
hair, the loving touches of the string
of beads, l felt more than repaid.

The following remarkable statement
was recently made by l.. 7. Cooper.
1t concerns the preparation which has
been so widely discussed throughout
the country during the past year, and
has sold in such enormous quantities
in leading cities:
ut is now a well-known fact that
wherever / have introduced my New
Discovery medicine, hundreds of peo-
pie have brought internal parasites,
or tapeworms, to me. In many cases
these people did not know the nature
OF the parasite, and were consequently
extremely nervous until | explained
the matter to them. In some cities so
many have had this experience that
the public generally became alarmed.
81 take this opportunity Of explain
ing what these creatures are, and what
! have learned about them in the past.
"Tapeworms are much more COM
mon than would be supposed. ven
ture to say that ten per cent Of all
chronic stomach trouble or what is
known as a rundown condition, is
caused by them. An individual may
suffer for years with one Of these great
parasites and not be aware Of 1t.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-12-20
HUMAN RACE AFFLICTED
With QUEER DISEASE.
Cooper Says Internal Parasites Cause Much
Suffering Everywhere

Contrary to general belief, the ap-
petite is not greatly increased--it only
becomes irregular. There is a general
feeling of faintness, however, and a
gnawlng sensation in the pit Of the
stomach.
People afflicted with one Of these
parasites are nervous and depressed.
Their chief sensation is one of Ian
guor, and they tire very easily. Lack
of energy and ambition affect the body,
and the mind becomes dull and slug
glsh. The memory becomes not so
good, and the eyesight is generally
poorer.
"The New Discovery, in freeing stom-
ach and bowels of all impurities, seems
to be fatal to these great worms, and
almost Immediately expels them from
the system. | wish to assure anyone
who has the experience just related
with my preparation, that there is no
cause for alarm in the matter, and
that 1t will as rule mean speedy
restoration to good health"
The Cooper medicines are a boon
to stomach sufferers We sell them.

INDUSTRIAL TENDENCIES.

Two important industrial tenden-
eaes are shown in the assessment
Summary Of Umatilla county which
Was published in the East Oregonian
Severar weeks ago and which has
Jrst been sent to the secretary Of
aEate.
One is that there are less sheep In
the county this year, by at least 22,-
OSa head than last year, and the
ether is that there are about 10000
arres more tillable land this year
than last.
With the range allotment system
In force and with a diminishing pub
Er domain, smaller herds and better
herds are inevitable. More dollars
ihggld be invested in smaller num-
ker. Greater profits are to be Sc
cared from sheep worth from Sc to
- per head than from sheep worth
oRly 81 and IS per head. The ex-
Rense of keeping the more valuable
stock is no greater than that Of keep
Eng those Of lesser value.
The increase in the area Of tillable
BAND in the county, however, is the
eMuse for greater elation. This
Hnezns that more and more families
ne finding homes, that more and
more country dwellings are to be
erected, that more and more country
.ErlsOols are to be supported and taken
altogether is the most wholesome and
wromising movement now visible in
the county.

The wholesale brewers are now
taking a commendable interest in the
liquor business by insisting on sa-
looms being run in an orderly man
ner. The brewers see the writing on
the wall, perhaps more clearly than
any other class. But it might be
pertinent to ask why the brewers
have not shown the same solicitude
for the purity of the liquor business
before prohibition became so popu-
lar? Any boy will more readily re-
pent after he sees the apple tree
limb cut and made ready for imme-
diate use.

pear rapidly enough without lncreas-
ing the size OF homesteads to accel-
lerate the movement. II anything is
done with the homestead law the
Communication clause should be abol-
ished, and residence should be the
only means of acquiring title,
Representative Mondell says his
new homestead bill is necessary in
order to make dry land farming pos
sible in the west. Wyoming has had
the desert land law. the Carey act
and the regular homestead law and
yet but an insignificant amount of
land has been reclaimed under dry
farming.
VIII increasing the size Of the
homestead give new impetus to dry
farming, or does this law simply
mean that big corporations can ac-

al a more rapid rate under a 800
acre law than under a 16O-acre law?
Since the government is spending
millions in reclamation, with large
part Of the total expenditure in Wyo-
ming, why not help the government
save the remainder of the vacant
land, rather than to hurry up its dis
appearance by giving S2O-acre tracts
instead OF 16O-acre tracts.
There is no evidence that Wyom-
ing or any other western state will
be more rapidly developed under a
S2O-acre homestead law. What is
needed is more farmers who farm.
There are too many office farmers
now.
