SLEEPING ARMY OF THE PLAINS

In his address before the pioneers
reunion at Cove, Union county, this
week, Joaquin Miller made the state
ment that although there were no
statistics to bear him out, yet 1t is
his belief that $4,000 men, women
and ch ldren lost their lives on the
plains between 1S40 and the late
sixties.
Fifty thousand sleeping in unknown
graves between Omaha and The
Dalles on the "old Oregon trail" At
first glance it seems incredible and
yet when the record of those terrible
years OF pestilence, Indian warfare,
privation and suffering is consider
ed, the statement is perhaps not ex-
travagant.
Cholera ravaged the country dur
ing that time and carried away entire
companies of immigrants. Indians
slaughtered entire parties at times,
to say nothing of hundreds of individ-
ual members OF parties and the alkali
water and alkali dust of the plains
sent many babe and many a mother
to the grave on the westward trek.
So it is possible that this sleeping
army numbers full $4,000.

UNFURL THE FLAG.

Unfurl the flag let the winds caress
And lift it In ripping lovelinenss
over all the wild west-world we
claim,
BY cross and sword and In Free
dom's name,
From the peaks that CLEAN DER Alas
kan gloom
To the isles of palm and the shores
of bloom
From the sacred rock where the seed
was sown
To the sunset capes where the flower
has blown,
o, the flag Of the Union, toss and
wave!
oer millions of freemen and not a
slave.
Unfurl the flag let it curl and kiss
The zephyr that faints in the sum-
mer's bliss;
1t was born in storm, and it's glory
sprung
Where the bolts of the battle Shrek
ed and sung;
Through smoke and cloud it has won
the right
To float and flaunt when the days
are bright.
We know what souls in its white
stars shine,
And the blood on its crimson spilled
like wine;
We know the strife and the woes and
fears
That hedged it around for hundred
years!
Unfurl the flag! we have followed
That mystical token of stripe and
star, 'enIr
And borne upon many field of
dread
Its streaming splendor of white and
red;
But now from the height of the strug-
Cling years
II bursts like the dawn on a night of
tears
And we gather beneath it with ra-
diant brows,
AS under the beautiful arch that bows
In the shimmering vapors after the
rain
Has smitten the flowers and fields of
grain.

AN IDEAL FOURTH.

In addition to the many prizes
given for the events of the celebra-
ton yesterday, the East Oregonian is
tempted to offer a prize for the man
who has a complaint to make of any
of the features of the celebration.
Il was an ideal day, an ideal crowd,
and ideal conduct all through, and
was an event of which Pendleton may
well feel prodd.
The only regrettable feature of the
celebration was the absence of an ex-
cursion train from the east end of the
county. A large number of people
came in from Weston, Athena, Adams
and other places along the Walla
Walla branch line on the o. R. G. N.
mixed train late in the afternoon, so
anxious were they to attend the cele-
bration.

THE GROWTH OF OREGON.

Development is coming to Oregon
in a thousand unobtrusive and un-
heralded ways. The state is growing
beyond the dream of its most en-
thusiastic promoters. Soon an elec-
trio road will be in operation from
Portland to Salem, a distance of SO
miles and the entire country through
which that line passes will be a con-
tinuous village.
All about Portland and through the
Willamette valley there is a most re-
markable development and gradually
that development is struggling out
into the interior. Electric lines now
proposed, surveyed and in operation
in Umatilla county promise to give
this section of the state a taste of
the progress which is being enjoyed
in the older and more thickly popu-
lated regions.
Water power is being developed,
new manufacturing establishments arc
coming to western Oregon and in
every feature of her varied resources
Oregon is experiencing substantial,
permanent growth. And this growth
Is coming without a boom" 1t is
here to stay.

LIFE'S SECRET.

There's secret in life, little man,
If you knew it most things would
go well,
Then listen as we'll as you can
And l shall endeavor to tell.
It's not where the bird builds her
nest;
That secret yeu know-you're a
boy.
It's not of the game you love best,
But something that brings greater
joy.
It's not where the mine hides its
gold,
Nor is't horse, or carriage, or wheel.
It's not one of those stories you're
told
OF plumed knights with sabres of
steel.
Find pleasure in work." do you hear
These little words filled with glad
truth?
Find pleasure in work." all the
year,
This the secret for manhood and
youth.

GUARANTEED STOMACH REMEDY

let's cure when no other remedy for
stomach troubles is sold in this man

If the stomach is only given a rest
by using a digestive, the muscles soon
become weak, and it is necessary to
continue taking digestive tablet after
every meal. on the other hand, Mi
o-na used before eating, strengthens
the stomach so that you will soon be
well enough to give up the use Of

Mi-o-na costs but soc a box. and

A BRAVE MAN HE.

A little man with side whiskers en-
tered a dentists office one morning.

a courage that belied his looks an
nounced that he wanted an appoint
ment for the afternoon.
"Half-past three" replied the dem
tist.
"All right It's TO have tooth
drawn-a very bad tooth with three
prongs."
I'm that case 1 would advise an

How much will it cost?"
"Ten shillings."
"Then I'll not waste my money on
anesthetics. I'll have the tooth
drawn in the ordinary way"

he added: you are an exception
ally brave man."

selves at home in the Oregon senate
last winter, whetted their knives sharp
for the peoples measures" and laid
| them out, 1t was common knowledge
then that such deeds We're performed,
This knowledge is revived by plan
to enact under the initiative next June
an antitrust bill like the one which
the senate allowed to be slain last
February.
The people of Oregon recently have
found out several local trusts, created
to prey on the public, by secret price
combinations The ice trust, the wood
trust, the coal trust, the furniture
trust, the Franklin trust the lumber
trust, the plumbers trust are known
to the public. And there are others.
Their existance has been felt a long
time, in absence of old-time compe-
tition and in consequent high prices.
Such price combinations are un-
lawful in interstate traffic, because
forbidden by national laws regulat-
ing interstate commerce. Trusts
within state can be regulated only
by the laws of that state. Some states
have such laws. oregon has none.
And because of the obvious need of
statutes covering this subject, it is
proposed that Oregon enact a law
under the initiative next June.
The Oregon Legislature in its last
session could have enacted law for
this purpose. A bill with this end in
view was introduced by Senator Smith
of Umatilla county, on January 49,
was referred to the committee on re-
vision of laws January 81; was report
ed back without recommendation
February Is; was laid on the table
February IS, and there died when
the legislature adjourned. This bill
was pounced upon by lobby of paid
corporation attorneys and slain be-
cause it would have stopped the prac-
tices of large number of extortien-
ate combinations.
Other peoples measures aimed at
the rapacity of trusts and corpora
tions were slain by this same influ-
ence in the senate. \ few of them
were:
Beals' house bill to tax timber on
cruisings supplied to assessors by
owners.
Malarkey's senate bill and Chase's
house bill to compel sale of Coos Bay
wagon road land grant at $3.50 an
acre.
State tax commissioners house bill
to tax finances of public service cor
porations on capitalized net earnings.
Coffey's house bill to repeal fran
chise of Portland Gas company.
Section in Burns house bill to re-
quire food packages branded as to full
weight or measure.
Settlemier's house bill to collect
taxes on idle land grant areas that
have not paid taxes in past six years
Northrup's constitutional amend
ment to limit franchises to 20 years.
State tax commissions constitution
al amendment to tax property in
classes of subjects, so as to impose
special taxes on special kinds of prop
erty.
These are but few of the peoples
bills that met death. The public will
recognize in this obituary the names
of very good measures. Bring on
the initiative.

SKETCH OF SENATOR FORAKER.

Joseph Benson Foraker, United
States Senator from Ohio, was born
July 8, 1846, in Highland county,
Ohio. He entered the union army as
private when 16 years old and
came out at the close of the war as
first lieutenant. After the war he
paid his way through Cornell, and
began the practice of law in Cincin-
natl in 1859. In 1879 he was elected
judge of the superior court of Gin
cinnati, which position he resigned
in 1882. He was the republican
candidate for governor in 1888, but
was defeated; was again nominated
by the republicans for governor in
1885, and was elected. He was re-
elected in 1887. In 1889 he was
nominated for a third term, and de-
feated in one of the most exciting
campaigns In the history of Ohio.
and IN 1903 was reelected.
His most notable performances as
a member of the senate consist of the
Cuban Intervention resolutions, which
brought on the war with Spain; the
resolution prohibiting corporations
from exploiting Cuba after the war,
the statute under which Porto Rico
is governed, and the motion In ex-
ecutive session of the senate by which
the old Clayton Bulwer treaty was
abrogated prior to the United States
acquiring the right to construct and
control the Panama canal. AS a SEN
ator Mr.. Foraker has opposed three
of President Roosevelt's propositions
the original railroad rate bill,
joint statehood for Arizona and New
Mexico and thes ummary discharge OF
the three companies Of the Twenty
fifth infantry, colored.

Samuel Anderson undertook on
July to walk from Palm Springs to
Indio, Calf, distance Of 23 miles.
He was robust and perfectly familiar
with the climate and all other desert
conditions, but was overcome by heat
and died a short time after being
found demented. That day the mer-
curry registered 1873 degrees on the
open desert. He would probably have
made the trip all right with suffi-
cient water,
