Was last heard of at Seward, Alaska, just after arrival; since then nothing has been heard from him. am getting very feeble and old; indeed, my life is simply wasting away from sorrow and anxiety.

THE VICTIM.

Twenty years ago, when the editor
of the East Oregonian was a boy,
riding the range of eastern oregon
and working on the Union county
farm, he knew a fairly well educated
man, steam engineer, genial, intel
ligent fellow who always earned good
wages and wore good clothes.
His only fault was his thirst for
whiskey.
He had every opportunity. Eastern
Oregon offered rich returns to every
intelligent young man in those days.
He worked steadily. He drew good
wages. His services were in demand.
There were opportunities beckoning
to him everywhere. He couldn't run
away from them. Had he been half
way successful he might have owned
now, more wheat land than he could
handle.
Today he walked into the office of
the East Oregonian, to say "hello,"
after 20 years. He was blear-eyed.
His clothes were in tatters. He was
dirty, unkempt, drunken, thick
tongued, maudlin. He looked so
years older. He had simply thrown
away and wasted and burned up 20
golden years in the prime of his life.
He wanted to borrow 25 cents with
which to buy more whiskey.
That is what whiskey does. 1t
writes its own record on its victims.
Its earmarks are all over them. You
can see its handiwork in unmistakable
bas-relief upon the slaves it creates.
This poor fellow is victim of its
ravages and should be an example to
the boys who chance to read this little
story.

FREEDOM.

C. E. S. Wood, in a most brillian.
article in Louis Posts Public, Of Chi
cago, demands absolute freedom for
the individual, and by inference, If
not by open declaration, declaims
against the local option law of Oregon
and the prohibition law in general
because 1t curtails the boasted free
dom" of the individual.
Every man has a right to the ut
most freedom, to certain limit, but
Individual freedom ends when the
rights of the community, of society,
of the collection of individuals, be-
gin. No man has a right to make a
public nuisance of himself. No man
should have a degree of freedom for
himself, which becomes oppressive to
his neighbor.
If every man were constituted like
C. E. s. Wood, that is, If every man
had brain and stamina and courage
enough to sensibly govern his appe-
tites and his conduct, then absolute
freedom would be possible and there
would be no need of restraining laws,
but
The world is made up of curious
and seething horde Of individual enti-
ties, fully half of which are irrespon-
sible, if unrestrained, and therefore,
society has a right to regulate the
conduct of the irresponsible classes,
in sheer self-protection.
1t is society's duty to SO restrain
these classes. Freedom is as danger
Gus in the hands of an irresponsible
man, as is a loaded gun in the hands
of fool.

WHY SOME FARMS PLAY OUT.

Forty years ago money was made
on farms that nowadays are not pay
ing expenses, and that are running
further and further behind year after
year, says the Farmers Friend The
explanation is that the farms have
been cropped regularly and exhaus-
lively; that is, cropped and not fer
tilized sufficiently.
A western paper figures out the ex-
haustion of farm land. Counting the
market value of commercial fertiliz-
ers ut the figures now prevailing, the
production of certain staple farms
would take out of the soil as follows:
Eighty acres in meadow, from
which' one ton of hay per acre was
removed each year for 40 years, $4OS
per year, or for 40 years, $16,320.
Eighty acres in potatoes, 1875
bushels per acre, 1851 per year; 40
years, S22,440
Eighty acres in wheat, 90 bushels
per acre, 500 pounds of straw; $455
per year, 40 years, $1S,1SS.
Eighty acres in corn, 80 bushels per
acre, s454 per year; $40 years, 49,
144.
If these four crops were grown in
rotation the annual yearly loss would
be $469.5O; 40 years, $1S,7S0.
Eighty acres devoted to making
beef, $3.50 per year; 40 years. sS,-
OLA.
Eighty acres devoted to cows where
the milk was sold from the farm,
$1S0.62 per year; 40 years s5224.
Eighty acres devoted to cows where
only the butter product was sold from
the farm, S1.16 per year; 40 years,
$46.40.
Forty years ago many of the farms
made butter, which removed only an
insignificant amount of fertility. They
began to ship away milk, and the fer
tility went with the milk. They
grew other crops, which carried off
large amounts of fertility.
In the 40 years from so acres po,
tatoes took s22,44O worth of soil fer
tility: possibly the farmer replaced
$4,000 worth in the form of fertilizers.
Probably the farmer thinks he has
saved the S20,44O, but his land has
been ruined.

MAKING SEATTLE GROW.

The movement by the Commercial
club to secure free factory sites for
small manufacturers who will locate
in Seattle is one that should be heart
lily endorsed by the people and put
through to successful termination.
Some of the smaller sound cities
have been laying special stress upon
their free factory sites for the past
year or two and through this means
have been enabled to secure a num-
mer of small factories.
Notably is this so in the city of
Everett, already known as the city
Of smokestacks, and which has Sc
cured the location of half q dozen
factories of considerable importance
in the last year.
Property for factory sites in Sc
attic is very high and il something
can be done by which free sites can
be afforded or long time leases given
at merely nominal rental it will do
much to increase Seattle's tin pail
brigade.-Seattle News.

REMEMBER THIS NEXT WINTER

Camphorated vaselne rubbed well
into the feet is remedy for chill
blains. Warm baths in strong alum
water or in water softened with bo-
rax are of value.
These should be followed by Wig
orous exercise of the foot, moving the
toes, twisting the ankles as far as
possible to the right and left and
giving the feet an up and down and
sidewise motion.
The whole effort must be to restore
and promote healthful circulation
through the feet.
For extreme Inflammation use an
ointment made of these ingredients:
Powdered gals ...........1 ounce
Resin ointment ...........3 ounces
Beat the powder into the ointment
till perfectly mixed. Rub the affect
ed parts and wrap the feet in BAN
dages.

apple orchards, or to raise hogs.
These little things, which are high
" profitable for the man of small
means, are beneath the notice of the
wheat king.
But to these small things Umatilla
county looks for immense returns in
future, Large sections of the county
are adapted to these minor industrial
lines and when the right class of peo-
pie strikes Umatilla county, it will be
developed, properly.
Charles Shumann, who lives up in
the very neck of the fartherest end of
Mckay creek canyon, has eight acres
of level land in the creek bottom, and
he is going to plant five acres of it to
apples. He is sensible and far seeing
in doing this, 1t will be but few
years until he will have a productive
and profitable orchard.
Up on the bench land, high above
his creek bottom farm, Mr.. Hanna
has raised apples this year which
would do justice to Hood River or
Medford. THESE places are near the
very tip top of the Blue mountains
at an elevation of over 5000 feet. and
are indications of the fertility of the
mountain soil. We already have a
living illustration of the productive
ness OF the mountain soil and the
mildness of mountain climate, in the
rich Weston mountain district, which
is the garden spot of Umatilla county.
In a few years, Umatilla county. like
Switzerland, Germany and France,
will be producing something profita-
BILE upon every. mountain terrace,
wherever sufficient soil to sprout
fruit tree, a grape vine or a small
garden plot, can be found.
There are larger profits in small
things than in the large, in proportion
to the money invested. The man with
$500 invested in two acres of fruit
land gets larger returns on his money
than the man with $50, 900 invested in
wheat land.
