Poor Ringridden Illinois and the
Primary.


ST. Louis Republic: At the begin
ming of the third week of the adjourned
session of the Illinois legislature the
bosses and ringsters of the republican
party in that ring-ridden state appear
to be no nearer agreement upon an
honest primary election law than they
have been at any time since the plat
forms of both parties. three years ago.
pledged the legislature to the enact
ment of such law
With the democratic membership
forming a small minority. the two al
legged primary laws passed by the las.
legislature were purposely made defec-
tive in order that the Supreme Court
should have no option but to kill them
In the sittings of the two houses which
begin today the republican majority. Il:
it has a trace of political honesty in
it, will put aside the tricks of the last
Legislature and perfect an honest bill!
which will satisfy the unanimous de-
mand of the people of Illinois,
From the action of the senate and
the house today and tomorrow We
shall probably know whether they
mean to do this or to persevere in try
ing to deceive the people to the end
of the chapted. We ought to know by
the end OF this week whether the re-
publicans mean to give what they have
promised Or whether thew will risk an.

but the bosses who control the repub
lican organization in Illinois are in a
situation which suggests desperate haZ
ards. Restore control of the party t.
the voters and the elaborate machine
the gangsters have builded will end in
smash, while other leaders will direc.
affairs and draw the emoluments of OF

Under such circumstances it seems
too much to hope that aught but dis

WATCH YOUR TONGUE.
II FuITed and Coated, 1t Is Warm
ing OF Trouble to Come.

When 1t is the morning after the
night before, you do not have to look
at your tongue to know that the
stomach is upset, the head is aching
with a dull rythm, and that all the
world looks black and dreary.
1t may have been lobster New
burgh, Welsh rarebit or some other
tasty dish that looked much better
at night than the morning after.
There is no need to look at the
tongue thermometer then for symp-
toms of trouble. You naturally go to
your box of Mi-o-na stomach tablets.
and with one of the little relievers
bring Joy and gladness to the physi-
cal system.
The real time to watch the tongue
is all the time. If It is coated with
a white fur, or possibly with dark
trimmings, even though the stomach
does not tell you by the acute pains
of Indigestion that It needs help, yet
the coating shows that you are get
ting into bad way and there Is need
OF Mi-o-na.
Used at the first symptom of a
coated tongue, distress after eating
headaches, dull and lifeless feeling,
flatulence, or any other Of the early
symptoms of indigestion, Mi-o-na will
strengthen the stomach muscles so
that they will take care Of all the
food that is eaten without the slight
est pain or discomfort. It will in
cease the flow of gastric Juice so
that the food digests as Nature In
tended 1t should, extracting the
nourishment and strength and expell-
ing the waste from the system with
out further aid.
Ml-o-na is so positive, so sure, so
reliable in its curative action upon
the stomach that Tallman & Co., the
local agents, give an absolute guar
antee with every 50-cent box they
sell to refund the money unless the
remedy gives absolute and complete
satisfaction.

The approach of winter is another
reason advanced by city officials for
letting out inspectors and reducing

Comptroller Robert Farley also
visited some Of the city departments
yesterday and notified them that the
departmental appropriations had be-
come exhausted or were near being
exhausted. In the inspection depart
ment the account is overdrawn $2,-
4S6. but the city expects to collect
$4,000 from street car companies in
the next few days to repay the city
where inspectors were engaged in
watching the relaying of car tracks
or the layin of new tracks. In the
city Jail department the Appropriation
is s63 overdrawn. The health de-
partment has but $2635 to finish the
year The judiciary department has
drawn money nearly to the limit.
Under the arrangement adopted
by the council at the end of the last
fiscal year departmental approprla-
tions were made for the six months
ending December 81. These are the
appropriations now running out.

Since oregon has a law similar to
that OF Washington, under which per-
sonal taxes become a lien on real
estate the following item from the
Walla Walla Bulletin concerning the
Washington law, will be Of interest
to readers Of the East Oregonlan. The
Bulletin says
Judge Brents this morning handed
down a decision sustaining the de-
murrer OF the county in the case of
Harvey B. Thompson against Walla
Walla county, which in effect upholds
the constitutionality Of the law pass
ed by the legislature in 1908, which
practically provides that an assess
ment made upon personal property
shall become a lien upon whatever
real estate is owned by the person,
against whom the assessment is made.
Although the law has been In eff
feet about four years and the validity
has always been questioned by abb
stract men and lawyers, 1t has never
before been passed upon by court.
The decision rendered this morning
by Judge Brents, If upheld by the su-
preme court, will affect the titles to
millions of dollars worth of real es-
tate in the state Of Washington.
Harvey B. Thompson is the plain
tiff in the case, in which the county
is made defendant, although II Is un-
derstood that the Dean Mclean ABB
stract company is behind the suit. Mr.
Thompson bought a piece OF ranch
land from the Farmers Saving bank,
which had previously purchased 1t of
Ulysses S. Grant. After the sale had
been made It was discovered that Mr.
Grant owed the county personal tax
of $4.7S which, according to the law
of 1908, became lein upon the per-
sonal property which he owned at
that time and clouded the title until
the tax was paid.
The county treasurer refused to
give a receipt in full on the property
for taxes of 1906 until the personal
tax owed by Mr.. Grant had been paid.
Suit was brought TO compel him to
give the required receipt.
The suit was first filed on March
80, 1906, over a year and half ago.
The county interposed demurrer to
the action and both sides submitted
their cases through briefs.
The plaintiff was represented by At
torneys Cain and Hurspool and the
county was represented by Rupp &
Mcdonald.
Judge Brents today handed down
his decision, which was to sustain the
demurrer of the county and declare
the law constitutional. 1t is probable
that the case will be carried to the
supreme court for a final decision.

Consul ]. E. Rowen Of Port Stan
ley, Falkland Islands, furnishes the
following account of the industrial
progress of that British colony off
the extreme southern coast of Ar
gentina:
Falkland islands industries are linn
tied in number, but possibly in no
other part of the world is capital and
labor better rewarded. Sheep rails
ing and ship repairing are the CEN
trail activities through which invest
ed capital and labor receive due. re-
ward. There are thirty sheep ranch
es on the 5000 square miles Of terri
tory embraced in the Falklands.
According to the latest report Of
the government inspector there are
on the islands 702,696 head Of sheep.
The wool product of 1906, the latest
available report, amounted to 4,324,-
215 pounds. The value Of the wool
was approximately $726,722. Wool
does not represent the full value of
the product of the sheep ranches.
Tallow, pelts, hides, ETC., were ex-
ported to the value of SS2,262.
A sheep ranch of 100000 acres will
employ about 25 men. The shep-
herds receive s24 to $50 per month,
according to experience. The
"navvies" receive about S24 per
month. but the shepherds get free
house rent and fuel and have several
COWS free, and also mutton they con-
sumo.
The number of men employed on
a ranch varies, as there are times
when expert workmen are needed
along certain lines, notably for build
ing, fence making, and horse break
ing. so that at times there are on
ranch an additional force for such
purposes. Expert carpenters, ma
sons. fence builders and horse break
ers in the camp receive IS per day.
Horses a Heavy Item Of Expense.
A heavy item Of expense on a
Falkland sheep ranch is horses. By
reason Of the rough camp where the
horses work a large supply has to be
kept. One hundred head Of horses
working in relays is required on a
ranch Of the area mentioned. The
horses are imported from southern
Chile and the Argentina and have to
be broken after arrival In camp. On
a ranch Of this area about 10000
sheep would find pasture. The sheep
require no other feed than the grass,
but sometimes in winter when the

tiles that he never allowed his servant
to enter his study. He insisted that
this room should remain exactly as he

he forgot to brush his hair. Every

enteen beans from the coffee canister.
These served for his breakfast. When
