FoUR-LEAF CLOVER.

l know a place where the sun rs like
gold,
And the cherry blooms burst with
snow,
And down underneath is the loveliest
nook,
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.
one leaf is for hope, and one is for
faith,
And one is for love, you know,
And God put another in for luck
If you search, you will find where
they grow.
But you must have hope and you
must have faith,
You must love and be strong-and
So
II you work, If you wait, you will find
the place
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.

PORCUPINES KILL TIMBER.

Private owners of timber lands in
northern Michigan have lately re-
ported that sehious damage has been
caused the hemlock forests in that
section by porcupines, and one one
tract of 500 acres 1t is said that fully
one-half the valuable trees have been
destroyed by the little animals.
1t is well known to woodmen that
porcupines do much damage where
they become numerous, but it is not
often that they occur in large num-
bers. The district in northern Mich
igan where the tree damage is re-
ported is said to be overrun with the
animals of many quilts, which cause
damage both by slipping off the young
buds in the spring and later by strip
ping the trees of their bark.

Umatllla county Is an excellent field
for stove and grocery peddlers, on
account of the inactivity and slow
methods of home dealers. This news
would be heralded through the trade
journals and the county would be
flooded in less than two months with
peddlers and agents, and the mail or
der houses would thank us for the
valuable information.
1t is strange OF think that progress
i've, alert business men, having the in
terests Of the county at heart, and de-
string new settlers to help swell their
business, should organize to put the
newspapers out of business, to de-
stroy their only source of publicity,
to open the door for foreign compe-
tition, and thus finally tear down their
own industries.
This is a matter for the considera-
ton of the grocery and hardware
combines at their next meetings.
Here is another phase of the ques-
ton: The farmers will say: IF these
Interests are combining to quit ad-
vertising, will they not also combine
to raise prices? II so, let us send
to Portland for our groceries and buy
our hardware from non-organized
peddlers."
That will be the final outcome of
these commercial trusts, which are
surely cutting their own throats by
abandoning their best friends and
protectors, the newspapers.

WHAT MAKES OAR SHORTAGE.

Two hundred carloads of wheat
were standing unloaded on the o. R.
& n. tracks in Albina yesterday morn
ing. Some of this came in during the
night, but about half of 1t was car
ried over from the preceding day
without unloading.
Every day that car remains un-
loaded on a sidetrack contributes in
a degree to a car shortage, and it Is
accordingly most important that ship
pers as we'll as railroads should use
every effort to keep the cars moving
and not delay them for warehouse
purposes. Shippers or fruit, hops and
lumber are all clamoring for cars, and
whenever they are used for ware
house purposes they hamper the OPP
erations not only Of the railroads and
grain shippers, but also of the ship
pers in other lines.
The wheat crop to be moved this
season is so enormous that it will re-
quire perfect cooperation between
the shippers and the railroad, and no
''lcst motion" anywhere, to prevent a
blockade.-Portland oregonian.

GOOD PRUNE YEAR.

Everybody is aware that this is a
good prune year, and, while all know
that there is a good profit in the
prune business, few have any knowl-
edge as to the exact returns on this
immense industry of the Salem fruit
district, says the Salem Journal.
In order to give a sample the writ
er picked up from a fruit man the
other day just what his prunes are
producing. He took 55 bushels of
prunes by weight, and after drying
them had 1850 pounds. These he
sold at 5A cents per pound, netting
him $70,S7, or at the rate of $1.29
per bushel for the green fruit.
AS good trees bear from one to
three bushels to the tree, and a fruit
orchard will average 100 trees TO the
acre 1t is easy to figure what the
crop is good for this year. 1t seems
that prunes are yielding heavier
than usual, and that all dryers are
unable to turn off as much fruit as
in ordinary years, owing to the heavy
quality
OF course, labor and every other
element that enters into the making
of prune crop 10 higher this year
than usual, but in the face of all, the
prune growers are going to make
more money than ever before in the
history of the industry here.

THE POLITICIANS ALARM.

The politicians who are now op-
posing Statement No. l and the pop
ular election of United States senators,
on the ground that it might result in
the election of a minority party can
didate to the senate, in an emer-
gency, were also opposed to the ini-
tiative and referendum, on the ground
that a minority party might secure
some of its pet legislation through
these acts, but the overwhelming vote
of republicans of oregon placed
those acts upon the statute books.
The initiative and referendum have
proved to be checks on the avarice
and selfishness of politicians and
schemers and the progressive repub-
llcan voters of the state are proud of
having passed the amendment.
The same politicians who opposed
the initiative and referendum now
claim that the enactment or observ-
ance of Statement No. l will give the
minority party an unequal chance in
elections.
How? Cannot the same over
whelming vote which demands that
the peoples choice for the United
States senate be elected, also vote at
the polls for the republican candi-
date? Has not the republican candi-
date, if worthy, the absolute assur-
ance that the preponderance of the
republican vote of the state will be on
his side?
Why need any worthy republican
candidate fear the observance of
Statement No. /, when the state Is
overwhelmingly republican, and the
peoples choice will logically mean
the choice of the republican party?
There must be something behind
the scenes in this opposition to State
ment No. 1 from leading republicans.
Why should they fear such an obliga-
ton if they have nothing but square
and honest purposes in the election
of United States senator?
Let us not take a backward step,
nor, stand still, but let us go forward.
Let every republican voter demand
that legislative candidates subscribe
to Statement No. /, and then If the
republican candidate for the senate is
worthy, capable and honest, let re-
publicans support him. Will not he
be the peoples choice, as we'll as the
party choice, under normal condi-
tions?
Why need a republican politician
if honest, fear Statement No. l in
state which gave Theodore Roosevelt
$4,000 plurality?

TOAST TO AUTUMN.

Here's a toast to the autumn days,
To the forest with golden crown,
TO the fields in their harvest beauty,
To the orchards laden down,
To the little brown-capped cricketss
There meath the autumn sky,
Whose song will soon be ended
When they hear the pine trees cry.

REWARDS OF THE NEWSPAPERS

Less than a year ago a committee
of local hardwaremen called upon the
East Oregonian and complained that
a foreign company, not residing nor
paying taxes in Umatilla county, was
peddling steel ranges, coal burners
and other lines of stoves to the farm
ers of Umatilla county, and the COM
mittee requested the paper to warn
farmers of these peddlers and urge
them to patronize home merchants
who are helping them support the
county and state government.
The East Oregonian, actuated by
the justice of their plea, and by a
cordial interest in their welfare and
business success, as local concerns, did
roundly roast the peddlers, urged the
farmers to patronize the home hard
ware dealers, who are their own
neighbors and fellow-citizens.
The newspaper article had a good
effect for the local men, for within
a week after the paper was issued
and the farmers had read the plea
for the local merchants, a peddler
came into the East Oregonian office
and complained that we were hurt
ing his business; that the farmers re-
fused to buy, saying that the news
papers were roasting the peddlers'
and that no purchases would be
made from the foreign concern.
Thus the East Oregonian actually
drove the peddlers out of the county
at the time, and saved the money
which they haG expected to secure
from the county for home merchants
This is a part Of the newspaper
duty toward its home city and coun-
ty, and it performed the service cheer
fully, but
The same hardware dealers have
now formed an association, one OF
the objects of which is to quit pat
ronizing the newspapers, to quit ad'
vertising in them, or in any way con-
tributing to their income. This Ii
one Of the rewards of the newspaper
industry.
Less than eight months ago three
local grocers called upon this paper
and asked us to advise UmatillS
county farmers not to purchase gro
ceries from a peddler then taking
extensive orders in the rural districts
but to confine their business to home
merchants, who are helping support
the schools and the city and county
government, and who are permanent
ir the county.
The East Oregonian cheerfully
made a patriotic appeal to the farm
ers to refuse to buy groceries from
peddlers and urged that home mer'
chants be patronlzed. The appeal hat
its good effect ,as the same peddlel
came into the office and started tc
abuse the writer for interfering witt
his legitimate business, and was or
dered from the office.
The same grocers are now in
combination which binds its members
to quit advertising in the newspapers
All patronage has been withdrawn
from the best friend the grocers, as
well as other business men, have In
the community This is another re-
ward Of the newspaper business.
Suppose, now. under the circum-
stances. that the East oregoniar
should advertise to the world that

SAN FRANCISCO CARS RUN.
Heavily Guarded, Two Make Trip of
About Six Miles.

p San Francisco, May 9.-The police
for the first time since the commence
ment of the streetcar strike furnished
actual protection yesterday afternoon
for two of the United Railroads cars
manned by 2l strikebreakers, and as a
result of this protection these cars were
run over six miles Of track without the
firing OF shot.
Four men, one of them a strikebreak-
-er and the other three members of the
Electrical Workers unicn were injured.
There was intermittent hurling of mis-
siles by union crowds at various points
along the route and for two or three
miles mob of at least 1000 men and
boys ran with the cars, yelling, calling
epithets, daring the nonunion men to
get off the cars and fight and cheering
vociferously whenever for one cause or
another the cars were brought temper
arily to stop.
After the return to the carhouse at
the general Offices at Oak and Broderick
streets, Mr.. Mutually stated that cars
will be operated again today. He
thought it best not to divulge the start
ing time or give the route in advance.
A majority Of the strikebreakers who
manned the cars came from Kentucky.
OF the thirty odd persons who were
shot or otherwise wounded in Tuesdays
pitched battles on Turk street, four are
expected to die. This would increase
the number of deaths to five, as James
Walsh died Tuesday night. Many of
the others among the injured have
been removed to their homes.

Butte, May S.-The North Coast
Limited east bound train of the North.
ern Pacific Railroad company was held
up early yesterday morning by two
maeked men near Welch's spur, cid
ing 1S miles east of Butte, and Engi-
neer James Glow shot dead and Fire
man James Sullivan shot through the
arm. Without making an attempt to
blow up the express car, as was evil
IDENTIFY intended, the two robbers jump
ed from the cab and ran down the
mountain side, disappearing in gulch
several hundred yards from the track.
On the tender of the locomotive was
found telescope grip full of giant
powder, intended for use in blowing
up the express car.

aged to elude about Is officers securing
the mountains in the vicinity of the
hold-up. Officers returning from the
spur state that the trail was lost by the
prison dogs on a road leading to Butte,
where the bandits had sprinkled a
quantity of red pepper. The officers
have a number of fresh hounds in re-
serve and the hunt will be resumed.

PREDICTS COAL FAMINE.
Union Pacific Official Says Road Will
Sell No More Coal.

Cheyenne, Wyo., May III look
for greater coal famine next year than
ever before, and the Union Pacific,
which has always taken care of the peo-
pie along its line, will no longer be
able to do 30 on account of the Hepburn
bill," is statement attributed to w.
L. Park, general superintendent of the
Union Pacific railroad, by the Wyom-
ing Tribune today.
"The small Dealers" Mr.. Park is
further reported to have said, ''have
in way depended upon the railroad for
the supply of coal to help them out,
and, unless they store their own coal
during the coming summer, they will
face famine in the winter. Coal con-
sumers along other lines where simi-
lar arrangement has been maintained
by coal-carrying roads will meet the
same emergency. The Union Pacific
will store coal as usual this summer,
but will have none to sell" !"

San Francisco, May Am air of
nervous expectancy hangs over the city
of San Francisco. 1t is such quiet,
suppressed sentiment as bespeaks ap-
preaching conflict. The situation is
serious with gravity born of uncer-
tainty. The United Railroads pro-
poses to resume the operation of it's
lines with non-union men. Two thou
sand union men are en- strike, and,
while neither eide will discuss the pos
sibility of violence, the situation has
been carefully canvassed by the police,
the militia and the officers of the regu-
lar army.
There is settled feeling in the city
that the cars cannot be operated with
out violence of some sort. Wherever
the subject was discussed, the opinion
was expressed that trouble was inevita-
BILE. While still hoping that no out
break will attend the running of the
cars, the authorities have made prepa-
rations for any emergency. General
Funston arrived last night and assumed
command of the department of CalifoI-
mia. The militia armories are being
guarded and the police force has been
given emergency orders.
The situation is complicated by the
telephone strike and the vast industrial
army made idle by the ironworkers'
strike. Among the unions the feeling
prevails that the defeat of the carmen
would be the heaviest blow the unicns
could receive.
Reports are current that, if trouble
attends the attempt of Mr.. Calhoun to
run the cars, he will force the issue up
on the government, either through a
request for receiver or through injunc-
tion proceedings in the Federal court.

ONE DEAD, THIRTEEN HURT.
San Francisco Scene of Bloody Con-

San Francisco Scene of Bloody Con.
flict Over Car Strike.
San Francisco, May 8.-Rioting by
streetcar strikers and their friends and
repeated fusillades Of bullets from
etrikebreakers yesterday marked the
first attempt to run cars on the United
Railroads since the strike began. The
movement of freight car from one
barn was the signal for obstruction OF
the track by mob and for shower OF
missiles aimed at those who operated
the car. After running only half a
block the car was taken back to the
barn.
Having thus made test, the COM
pany at 2:30 p. m. sent string OF
seven passenger cars out of the Turk
and Fillmore street barns, manned by
armed strike breakers. Their appear
ance was the signal for renewed rioting.
Brickbats, paving stones and all man
ner of missiles were hurled at the cars
by pursuing mob of several thousand.
One of the guards on the cars retaliated
with shot, which hit it's mark. The
assault on the cars became more furious
and the guards retaliated with several
fusillades, which caused the death Of
one man, wounded one fatally and IL
less seriously. After running few
blocks the cars were returned to the
barn and the attempt to operate the
lines was abandoned for the day.
Union pickets went among the mob,
imploring them not to throw stones.
They were jeered by union men and
sympathizers. The police with one
exception did not even draw their clubs.
The police did little to check the
lawlessness. They attempted to dis
suade the mob from violence. but only
two of them used force and they did it
80 effectively that they cleared the way
for the cars for the time being. The
police arrested 13 of the strikebreakers
for shooting, but made no arrests
among the mob.
That the many bloody events of yes
terday may be repeated with even more
tragic results was the fear expressed
last night when it was made known
that the United Railways program for
today includes another attempt to re-
sumo the operation of it's system. This
attempt, according to General Manager
Mullalley, will be made some time in
the forenoon. He declined to state at
what hour or to discuss the company's
plans in this respect.

AFTER THE WATCH TRUST.
Its Goods Are Sold Abroad for Less
Than at Home.

Washington, May S.-Charles E.
Keene, Of New York, president of the
Independent Watch Dealers associa-
tion. today conferred with Assistant
District Attorney Purdy concerning an
investigation which the department is
making into the methods of the socalled
"watch trust" Mr.. Keene presented
to Mr.. Purdy, he said, evidence con-
cerning the operations of the alleged
watch trust. He asserted that Ameri.
can made watches could be purchased
in various European countries for much
less than they could be bought in this
country, and that the alleged watch
trust sold watches to foreign dealers at
a much less price than they quoted to
American dealers. He exhibited Amer
lean watches which he had purchased
abroad for less than he could buy them
in this country.
