1t has been intimated that Repre-

resolution introduced by Mr.. Greasy
OF Columbia county. during the sess-
Ion OF 1905. endorsing the policies
on the rate question of President
Roosevelt. but the indexing Of the

SO bad that It is impossible to verify
the statement. We are assured by
a member of the House at that time,
however. and who was present when
the vote was taken. that only one
Republican voted for the resolution
and his name was not Sheath.
Governor Stuart is not looting the
State Treasury at present, for vari-

eastern people or people Of western

convey the impression that there is

THE TEMPERANCE FIGHT.

Slowly on the outer edges of the
gigantic issue the forces of temper
ance are making headway against the
liquor traffic in the United States AS
the Idaho prohibitionist said to the
East Oregonian yesterday, the decis-
ion of Judge Artman of Indiana to the
effect that all licenses are unconsti-
tutional, is the last and greatest boost
received by the temperance forces.
Last year the money paid out for
States amounted to almost $1,000
100000. Think of that stupendous
sum spent in taking an enemy into
your mouth to steal away your
brain"
Not one cent of this vast sum was
spent for beneficial purpose, but it
was worse than wasted. And the mis-
fortune of the situation is that those
who spend most in this way can least
of all afford to so spend their money.
The fight for temperance and moral
and mental health is one of the great
est movements in the world. It seems
inconsistent to believe that great
free people would so long tolerate the
evils which grow out of this traffic.

from the heart of the desert within

These men were industrial prophets.
Where other men, less observant, saw
nothing but forbidding waste, these
founders and builders of the irrigated
districts of the inland empire, saw
the splendor of future crops under
the surface of the desert.
Their faith has been rewarded.
The rich sandy land has yielded a
thousand fold and has sprung into life

FOR ROOSEVELT"

T. C. Taylor of Pendleton, who is a
close student of economic and politi-
cal questions, says upon his return
from an extended visit in the east

seems to be for Roosevelt" for pres

He says that the substantial

ing classes, which are now enjoying
unprecedented prosperity, excepting,
of course, a few leading agitators, are
for Roosevelt.
In the east, as here, the great mid
die class of people are for Roosevelt,
and from every indication the next
republican national convention will be
stampeded by Roosevelt delegates un.
til the president will be forced to ac-
cept another term.
There is more reason for his cleo
ton now than ever. before. His great
work is not half done. Panama needs
his vigorous direction. The publit

quire a Roosevelt policy for a few

No matter how well qualified a new
president might be, he could not take
up the Roosevelt policy in the niids

Aside from the burning of a dwell
ling house, there is no more heart
rending and pitiable scene than the
destruction of a wheat field by fire.
1t seems such a terrible waste of la
Dor, energy and wealth to see great
field of standing grain moved down
by fire. And always the most pitiable
part of a wheat field fire is the utter
helplessness of everybody concerned.
In nine times out of 10, there is no
way in which to stop a fire until it
burns into immature grain or meets
some other natural obstacle. Every
fire which occurs in the wheat belt
should be an additional incentive to
farmers to carry full insurance.

WHERE WE GET GUM ARABIC.

Gum arabic, which forms one of the
most important minor exports Of
Egypt, is really the sap from a special
kind of tree which grows from three
to five yards in height, whole forests
OF which are found in the Kordofan
province, and also near Gedid, in the
White Nile province. The natives are
free to collect the gum. The season
during which the trees yield their sap
runs from December to May. Prior
to gathering the crop the natives pre-
pare the trees by slightly cutting the
bark in numerous places. The sap
company had charged him up with
large and small Jumps and is after
ward gathered by hand, such gather
ing being done before the rainy season
commences.
