Why Colds are Dangerous

Because you have contracted ordinary
colds and recovered from them without
treatment Of any kind, do not for a
moment imagine that colds are not dan
gerous Everyone knows that pneumonia
and chronic catarrh have their origin in
common cold Consumption is not
caused by a cold but the cold prepares
the system for the reception and de-
velopment Of the germs that would not
otherwise have found Judgment. 1t is
the same with an infectious diseases.
Diptheria. scarlet fever. measles and
whooping cough are much more likely
20 be contracted when the child has a
cold You will see from this that more
real danger turks in cold than in any
other Of the common ailments. The
easiest and quickest way to cure cold
is 70 take Chamberlain S Cough Remedy.

this preparation have made il staple

against Nicholas Reiter. who was prose-

skinned milk. This case came to trial
early in September. and Mr. Reiter
filed a special plea, to which the State
demurred. The Court sustained the de-
murrer and held that the sale Of con
densed SKINNED milk is illegal The
law forbids the sale of condensed milk
if any part Of the cream has been re-
moved by the manufactures. The same
law is now in existence in a number Of

have been returned for violation Of the
same law. and the cases will be tried

MARKET FROM UNIATILLA.

In a communication from Alberta,
in the East Qregonlan. Frank Rack,
a former resident Of Umatilla county,
gives Umatilla county people an in
sight into the possibilities Of Canada
as future market for the surplus
products of this county.
He tells of the vast provinces of
western Canada which will produce
wheat, hay and cattle, but which can
never become fruit, vegetable or gar
den lands. Hundreds of thousands Of
people are settling in those provinces
and these settlers must have fruit,
they must have products of the milder
climates and so he invites Hermiston,
Echo, Milton and Freewater and other
irrigated fruit sections of this county
to look to Canada as their future mar
ket.
And Mr.. Rack has given Umatllla
county farmers a hint that is worth
thousands of dollars in dollars and
cents. The Canadian Pacific railroad
is perfecting traffic arrangements
with the o. R. & N. by which it will
he able to reach Portland, by way Of
Umatilla. This will give Hermiston a
Canadian outlet and will place Milton
Pnd Freewater within reach of one of
the lest fruit markets in the world
a market which will never be filled.
Canada can never become a fruit
raising district because Of the lati-
tude, altitude and climate. 1t will al
ways be a fruit buyer All of the re-
gion north of Montana will be an ex-
cellent fruit market and here is an
opportunity for Umatilla county to
place her surplus product at excel.
lent prices.
There is no question about the mar
ket If We only make the land produce
its utmost. Let us begin to get re-
turns. Let us put the irrigated Sec
ton to the test and make it what 1t
should be-the most productive re-
gion in the west.

THE TRIBUNE SNEERs.

An undercurrent of ridicule runs
through the Pendleton Tribune's ac-
count Of the U'Ren meeting in this city
last night, presumably because Mr..
URen represents a political principle
which is distasteful to the Tribune.
Mr.. U'Ren stands for the peoples
rule and has done more perhaps than
any other one man in the state. re-
gardless Of his checkered political ca
roer, to bring about the peoples rule.
When politicians who now ridicule
and belittle Mr.. U'Ren and his princi-
pie are dead, buried and forgotten ex-
cept, perhaps for the corruption they
fastened upon the state, the name Of
w. S. U'Ren will be emblazoned upon
the temple doors of popular govern
ment throughout the United States.
He represents a principle which will
be cherished as long as men have
rich red blood in their veins and a
love Of liberty in their breasts. Com
mon politicians are immeasurably be-
meath him and cannot understand the
self-sacrifice and devotion which ne
exhibits.

Lying all around our path;
Get a trust on wheat and roses,
Give the poor the thorns and chaff;
Let us find our chiefest pleasure

SO the poor shall have scant measure
And two prices have to pay.
Yes, we'll reservoir the rivers,
And we'll levy on the lakes,
And we'll pay a trifling toll tax
On each poor man who partakes;
We will brand this number on him
That he'll carry through his life;
Wen apprentice all his children.
Get a mortgage on his wife.
We will capture cen the wlnd-god
And confine it in a cave;
And then. through our patient process
We the atmosphere will save;
Thus we'll squeeze our little brother
When he tries his lungs to fill
Put meter on his windplpe
And present our little bill.
We will syndicate the starlight,
And monopollze the moon.

A proprietary noon;
For right of way through oceans

Wen charge just what It's worth.

In fact. we'll own the earth.

boys born died in their first year,
whereas only 22 per cent Of the girl
babies succumbed In the same period
DR.. Warner accounted for the pre-
ponderance Of females over males In
England and Wales by the fact that
although more boy babies were born
a much larger proportion OF males
than females had physical defects
From minute examination OF thous-
ands of children DR.. Warner found
that per cent Of the boys had phys
ical defects, as compared with only I
per cent in the girls.
He pointed out that in chiIdren's
medical ward practically all the chill
dren had a physical defect, and among
these chillren with defects the NOR
tality was apt to be higher in the case
of the girls than of the boys. From
this it was deduced that while the fe-
male sex apparently approaches closer
to normality than the male. yet when
abnormalities are found equality IN
the two sexes the lesser vitality of the
girl will cause, her to break down
under any added strain sooner than
the boy.
DR.. Warner said that whereas the
male sex supplied the great majority
of criminals, yet in the number Of
murders committed by lunacy, women
greatly exceeded the men even leaving
out entirely cases of infanticide.
Among incorrIgible criminals who had
been convicted 10 times or more,
women were more than twice ds nu-
merous as men.

THE DUST OF BABYLON.

What wind is this across the roofs

That hardly makes the wires to sing,
or soaring smoke to sway?"
Over the stones Of Babylon floating

The ruined walls of Babylon, all fallen
in decay.
"Oh, have blown Ger Babylon when
royal was her state.
When fifty men in gold and steel kept
watch at every gate,
maids thronged early by and
late
Under the gates of Babylon,
Babylon, Babylon,
The marble gates of Babylon, when
Babylon was great"
Good weary wind, a little while pray
let your course be stayed.
And tell nae of the talk they had, and
what the people said.
The funny folk of Babylon before that
they were dead.
That walked abroad in Babylon,
Babylon, Babylon,
Before the towers of Babylon along
the ground were laid"
"The folk that walked in Babylon
they talked of wind and rain.
OF ladies' looks, of learned books, of
merchants loss and gain,
How such-an-one loved such-a-maid
that loved him not again.
(For maids were fair in Babylon,
Babylon, Babylon),
Also the poor in Babylon of hunger
did complain"
But this is what the people say as on
their way they go,
Under my window in the street, I
heard them down below"

THOUGHTS ON FULTON.

w. S. URen, the enthusiastic advo-
cate of statement No. 1, who address,
ed an audience at the court house in
this city last night, gave his hearers
a few thoughts on Senator Fulton
which may not have occurred to them
before.
You know there is a widespread
belief that Senator Fulton is a victim
OF a sort Of persecution by Francis j.
Heney and there is a tendency to
make martyr of the senator in many
quarters.
Here are a few pertinent questions
asked by U'Ren: After Harvey w.
Scott, Jonathan Bourne and John H.
Mitchell failed to secure the senator
ship in 1903 by the expenditure of all
the way from $4,000 to $4,000 each,
is it possible that Fulton secured the
prize with clean Ands. uncorrupting
and uncorrupted?
When he landed the prize did he not
show himself to be the greatest cor
ruptionist among them, since they
had all tried their skill and offered
their money. as is shown in the Har-
vey Scott-Jonathan Bourne contract?
Does anybody think Fulton won
with clean hands where other men
had offered a cash price for the sem
atorial toga? Did not Senator Fulton
flight the devil with fire" in the con-
test? Did he not outbid his competl-
tors, since the senatorship was for
sale, as it was?
Are not these questions logical and
pertinent in the light Of the facts?
Then if Senator Fulton was the
arch-plotter in that most strenuous
contest, what has he done to redeem
himself with the people? He is op-
posed to statement No. l and the peo-
pies choice for United States senator
and until the people have evidence
to the contrary they will be justified
IL the belief that ne wants the sem
atorial election settled, not by the
people at the polls, but by che boodl-
ers in the legislature.
There is a staunch republican cam
didate for the senatorial toga who be-
ueves in the peoples choice. H. NJ.
Cake is running on that platform and
deserves the peoples support Re-
publlcans who want to take the sem
atorial fight out of the legislature,
should vote for Cake, both in the pri-
rnaries and in the general election,
and they should only vote for legisla-
tors who favor the peoples choice

Weary of love as of hate, Of eddying

OF the waves Of the mind, of the soul

Rising unsought.

It sings It a song wrought out Of

OF the sough of the wind, of the tales
of the waste and the wild.
