\ CREDITABLE ACT.

Now comes the news from Heppner
that the woolgrowers in their state
convention unanimously voted down a
resolution opposing the ratification Of
Governor Chamberlain as senator. It
is much to the credit of the sheep
men that they did so. Though per-
sOnally they would rather see a re-
publican in the senate the woolgrow-
ers are not the kind of men to advise
dishonor in order to further a politi-
cal end. They realize that the leg
islators-elect are in honor bound to
elect Governor Chamberlain senator
They have respected the position of
the statement No. l men and have
refused to offer an insult in the form
o. a request that they break their
pledges.
And it will not make one particle
OF difference to the wool industry of
this state whether Governor Chamber
lain or some republican becomes sem
ator If the tariff is revised at all
control will rest with a bunch of
easterners. They will change the
schedule, if it is changed at all, for
the benefit OF special interests in the
east. They will pay as much atten-
ton to the desires of Oregon sheep
men as a coyote does to a bleating
lamb.

THE WORLD CHILD.

At times am the mother of the
world;
And mine seem all its sorrows, and
its fears.
That rose which in each mother heart
is curled-
tears.
And, waking in the night, lie and
hark
To the lone sobbing and the wild
OF my World-chld. a walllng in the
dark

my arms

A mother calls, what time she can
not go);
"Sleep WELL dear world; Love hides
behind this gloom.
There Is no need for wakefulness
or woe,
The long long night is almost past
past and gone;
The day is near" And yet the world
weeps on.
Again follow it. throughout the day.
With anxious eyes l see it trip and
fall,
And hurt itself in many foolish
way
Childlike. unheedlng warning word
or call,
1 see it grasp. and grasplng, break
the toys
1t cried to own, then. toss them on
the floor
And, breathless, hurry after fancied
joys
That cease to please. when added
to its store.
I see the decorations on its hands,
Made by forbidden tools; but when
it weeps,
l also weep, as one who understands, |
And, having been a child, the
memory keeps.
All, my poor world, however wrong
thy part,
Still is there pity in my mother heart. !

!ey aeknOwledge they would be more

they acknowledge they would be more
profitable.
But this is not the right spirit, 1t
is up to every man to do the very
best he can in the line he has chosen
t, follow. This is especially true OF
farmers because they hold the coun-
try's principal source OF wealth. The
advancement OF this county depends
more than anything else upon the de-
gree OF progressiveness manifested by
the farmers of the county.
Through the Incidence of the farm
ers. and especially OF those who hold
great tracts of land, the development
OF this county is being retarded. Dur
ing the past few years the population
has been cut down in certain portions
&C the county and the life has been
taken out of some of the towns.
The evolution of the smaller wheat
ranches into the big wheat ranches
has been natural. Wheat may be
raised more economically upon a
large scale than on a small scale.
But much of this county is too good
for wheatraising alone. 1t can be
used for better purposes. There
should be alfalfa fields, orchards and
gardens all along the line between
here and Athena. Some day there
will be. When that time comes the
land in that section will be worth 10
times what it brings now. II the far
mers in that region wish 10 hasten
the time when they may sell out for
what would now be considered fabu-
cur prices, let them take up intensi-
lied methods and show what their
is really worth. 1t is busi-

\ PILFERING SQUAD.

Because the executive committee Of
republican club in Portland decid-
ed by a vote of nine to four to work
against the election of Governor
Chamberlain as senator, ii is announc-
ed that the battle" against statement
No. l is on. The slogan will be that
statement No. is "bunko game. "
But it is a sorry crowd that goes
forth to battle. 1t is not composed
of representative republicans Of this
state. Such stalwart forms as those
of Judge Henry E. McGinn and Judge
5. A. Lowell are not in the gang They
would be ashamed to be caught dead
in such an undertaking.
The squad that says It is out to bat
tie statement No. / is composed. in
the main at least, Of disappointed and
discredited machine politicians. And
they are out to loot, not to fight. 1t
is announced that all honorable
means will be used to prevent the
election Of Governor Chamberlain.
But how can he be defeated by hon
orable means. A majority of the leg
islature are under oath to vote for
him. II honor is observed he will be
elected without opposition.
As to statement No. l being bunko
game. there is nothing in the charge.
Nothing could be more complete
than Governor Chamberlain's title to
the senatorship. In free and open
race he defeated Cake last June. He
was elected in spite of the big normal
republican majority How can any
one cry foul after such a contest?
But it is claimed that in the pri-
maries some democrats voted for
Cake for the purpose Of defeating Full
ton. If they did. they not only did
wrong, but they made a mistake from
a partisan standpoint Fulton should
have been easier defeated than Cake.
The latter went into the senatorial
race and he left it with a clean and
creditable record. Fulton was open
TO attack in a thousand places. Fran
cis j. Heney had more to do with the
defeat of Fulton than did the demo-
Gratis. But the main thing that down.
cd Fulton was his own sadly tarnish,
ed record.
There is simply nothing to IT, If
right and justice prevail at Salem
Governor Chamberlain will be made
senator. II he is defeated it win,
through dishonesty and such political
jobbery as this state has never seen
before.
The East Oregonlan still believes
that the legislature will elect Cham
ferlain II believes that little oppo-
sltion will be encountered. When the
legislature meets. if not before, the
pllferers will slink back into camp
ard they will deny that they ever Sc
riously intended doing anything
wrong.

DRAGGING ROADS.
Points Which Must Be Remembered
to Do Good Work.

The following points are to be borne
in mind in dragging road:
Make light drag, which is hauled
over the road at an angle so that a
small amount of earth is pushed to the
center of the road.
Drive the team at walk.
Ride on the drag; do not walk.
Begin at one side of the road, re-
turning on the opposite side.
Drag the road as soon after every
rain as possible, but not when the
mud is in such a condition as to stick
to the drag.
Do not drag a dry road.
Drag whenever possible at all sea.
sons Of the year. If road is dragged
Immediately before cold spell it will
freeze In smooth condition.
The width of travelled way to be
maintained by the drag should be
from 1S to 20 feet; first drag a little
more than the width Of a single wheel
track, then gradually increase until the
desired width is obtained.
Always drag a little earth toward
the center Of the road until It is raised
from ten to twelve inches above the
edge Of the Travelled way.

is necessary to maintain an earth rosd

THE OLD ORCHARD.
Il Can Often Be Made Productive by
Manurinq.

Often the old orchard can be made
again productive by heavily manur.
ing it, both with barnyard manure
and with fertilizers purchased in va
rious forms for potash and phosphor-
US. It must be remembered that the
old trees have, to considerable ex.
tent. lost their power of taking in
food and utilizing it. Therefore, it
should be supplied in the greater
abundance.
One farmer says that he was haul
ing manure through an old orchard
into field beyond when the manure
wagon broke down at the foot of an
old apple tree. He was too disguised
to reload the manure and left it at
the foot Of the tree supposing that it
would finish the tree. But the result
was a rejuvenated tree. The hint
was taken and the rest OF the orchard
was MANFRED the next year, the ap-
plication being very heavy one.
That orchard was reported to be
producing good crops years after
wards. In the putting on OF this
manure much risk was taken of over
doing the matter. The owner did not
dare pillow it in, as the roots of the
old trees were so near the surface
that too many roots would have been
killed.
During the summer a great deal of
extra manure made in the barns and
barn yards is lost through not being
applied to the land shortly after be-
ing made, says the Farmers Review.
This is good source from which to
fertilize the old orchard, if the roots
lie deep enough to permit getting the
manure under the surface of the
ground. When the roots lie near the
surface and top-dressing must be re-
sorted to-, this had better be done in
the winter to save loss of manure.

village Of Vivario, announced by the

They 60 to climbing again, and soon
after descend through the gorge of the
rapid Vecchio, the river foaming far
beneath the road, while rocky hills
and sharp mountains rise on either
side.
They have Knocked at no doors:
they have made no inquiries; they
have only hurried on. But some hour
after the red-tiled houses of Corte
loom up before them and a few min
utes later they jog their tired steeds
up one of the principal streets of the
central inland town of Corsica. the
great Monte Rotondo now looking
down upon them.
Above them are tall elm trees that
catch the rays of the rising sun.
Thanked on each side by white stone,

the hotels Pierracci and Paoli, almost
deserted now, this being the beginning
of the hot summer season. Along the
street are many placards indicating
the approaching election. Every time

CHAPTER XVI,
Along the CycIamen Path.

Both young men are riding light:
Barnes for this speedy dash has left
his rifle and his field glasses behind
him, and they gallop up the pass of
the Force. But the ascent is so steep
they are soon compelled to walk their
horses. A precipice is on one side of
them and the great tanks of Del Orc
are on the other. Both Edwin and
Burton have been silent, thinking of
their wives. The latter now remarks,
pointing to a deep gorge running up
the mountain side: "That, l believe,
leads to La Pintica, the home of the
Bellacoscia, which the gendarmes
never dare to VISIT
But they having reached the summit
of the Col, now speed their horses
sharply down the declivities into the
great forest of Vizzavona, the road
leading them through pines, beeches
and the inevitable chestnut trees.
They have passed no one in the
darkness. In fact, they have not yet
gone far enough to have any hope of
overtaking Marina unless accident has
befallen her vehicle. Besides, her
horses were fresh; theirs, according
to the hostler, had been ridden during
the preceding day.

SIZE,
A Good Wedding innovation.

An innovation in wedding gifts has
been introduced abroad-an excellent
innovation that no doubt soon will ap-
pear here.
In London, if Lady Brown, a guest
at the Smith-Miller wedding, is
friend of Lord Smith instead of his
bride, it is to Lord Smith, not to the
lady, that she sends her present,
which takes the form of set of pearl
studs, gold cigar case or a long
cigarette tube of platinum and amber.
The fashionable intelligence of the
London papers at this season has such
announcements as these: Countess
Jackson's gift to the bridegroom was
wristwatch; Lady Brown gave a
gold smoking set; the Hon. Mrs. Null
doon's remembrance was dozen
razors with mother-o'-pearl backs: the
Warehouses Jones gave a cigar cabi-
net of ebony and silver, and Lady
Wrsght's good taste was manifested
in motoring coat of ponyskin.
