OREGoN'S CLEAN PAGE.

Thanks to the persistence of Ore
son sheepmen and state officials in
their efforts to eradicate the scab
from oregon herds, this state starts
cut the year 1908 with a clean page,
from the sheepman's standpoint. The
spring dipping has been dispensed
with as there is no apparent need of
it. Her herds are clean once again
after many years.
This clean record is primarily the
work of the oregon sheep commits
sion and federal officials, but this
commission has also been enthuslas-
tically supported by the sheepmen
Without the active and hearty CO.
operation of the sheepmen the work
of the commission would have been
hampered and delayed.
So oregon's sheep may be sent to
market free from the "lnfected" la
bel which they have worn for num-
ber of years. Oregon is one of the
few clean sheep states, thanks to the
progress and business foresight Of her
and officials.

A HARTMAN OPPORTUNITY.

A Wallowa county paper, mention
ing the fact that 5000 hogs have been
sold out of Wallowa valley during the
past four months, added that when
the railroad was completed through
the valley as projected there would
be four times as many hogs raised
there, says the oregon Daily Journal.
And this is all the more probable on
account Of the great packing plants
to be built in Portland.
This one instance illustrates the
need Of the completion of that long
promised and long deferred railroad.
Other products would increase in
volume and value also; population
and taxable property would increase;
the railroad would benefit greatly
not only that region, but Portland
as well. And there can be no doubt
that the road would be very profit
able. Yet Mr. Hartman will neither
build that road nor permit any one
else to build one there.
The establishment of these pack
ing plants here will give a big boom
to the hog raising industry in the
Oregon country. In several of the
counties of eastern Oregon, espe-
clally, farmers are contemplating the
raising OF more hogs.
When grain is very high hogs might
not be profitable but it has been dem
onstrated by some farmers that it
pays, at the price hogs have been
lately, to feed even 75-cent wheat to
hem. And these packing houses will
make an unlimited market for all the
hogs that can be raised.

SONG OF THE PLAINS.

No harp have l for the singing. nor
fingers fashioned for skill.
Nor ever shall words express It, the
song that is in my heart.
A saga, swept from the distance, horl-
IONS beyond the hill,
Singing of life and endurance and
bidding me bear my part.
For this is the song, as 1 sing it it, the
song that love the best,
The steady tramp in the furrow the
grind on the cleaning steel,
An anthem sung to the MONDAY, a
chant of the open west,
Echoing deep, in my spirit, to glad
den and help and heal.
And this is life, as I read it. and life
in its fairest form:
To breathe the wind on the ranges.
the scent of the upturned sod,
To strive and strive and be thankful,
to weather the shine and storm.
Penciling over the prairies the des-
tiny planned by God.
And no reward do 1 ask for, save only
to work and wait
To praise the God Of my father, to
labor beneath His sky,
To dwell alone in His greatness. to
strike and to follow straight
Silent and strong and contented-
the limitless plains and I.

ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA.

The Shakespeare plays never grow
old With every recurring production,
new versions arise, new ideals are
raised, new views of life and love
and sentiment and human destiny are
presented.
The presentation of Antony and
Cleopatra" by Charles B. Hanford at
the oregon theater last night renews
the minds of the students of history
and drama, that world-old story. An
tony casting away the world for the
woman he loved; Cleopatra, loving
yet toying with her conquering lord;
Jealousy, hatred, passion, love and de-
votion, all mingling in Egypts olden
empire; the world cast away, honor
forgotten, empires neglected and lost,
kings spurned and friends torn asun-
der-all for Antonys love for Cleo
patra.
1t is fascinating and glorious story
glorious for the intensity of the love
it portrays; glorious for the human
interest running through its every
line and yelling up from its every
sentiment!
The Shakespeare plays are refresh
ing and uplifting. The vaudeville and
comic opera spirit which is ruling the
modern stage cannot drown the
thunder-voice of the Shakespearean
Jove. Human interest, deep and in
tense and strong fingers about the
Shakespearian characters and the
Shakespearian stories. They will ever
retain their hold upon the thinking
world They will ever hold a fore
most place upon the stage, as long as
human hearts rule and human sem
timents electrify and vitalize the cur
rents of history!

PORTLAND MOVES FORWARD.

ing Of these vital enterprises, at a

A GOOD INHERITANCE.

No boy or girl, can ever come to
be utterly bad who remembers only
love and tenderness and unselfishness
and sweetness as associated with
father and mother in the old-time
home.
Give them manly and womanly ex-
ample, give them training, give them
the inspiration of devoted lives give
them these higher, deeper things. Do
not care so much as to whether you
are accommodating money, so that you
can leave them a fortune I really
believe that the chances are against
that's being a blessing for a boy But
leave them an accumulated fortune
Of memories and Inspirations and ex-
amples and hopes, so that they are
rich in brain and heart and soul and
service.
Then, If you happen to leave them
the fortune besides If they have all
these, the fortune will be shorn Of its
possibilities Of evil, and will become
an instrument of higher and nobler
good.-Minot ]. Savage.

FOR IRRIGATION LAW.

The announcement that Clyde Steen
OF Milton, candidate for representa-
tive from Umatllla county, will work
for an improved irrigation code for
Oregon, If elected to the legislature,
brings to mind the fact that, Oregon
needs better irrigation code and the
East Oregonian would be delighted to
see Umatilla county present that revis-
ed and up to date code in the legisla-
ture.
Irrigation is now one Of the very
foremost industries of the state. The
irrigated crops of last year exceeded
in value the wool clip of the state.
Irrigated products exceeded in value
the gold output Of the state by far,
and yet there Is no systematic, COM
prehensive irrigation or water right
law on the statute books Of the state.
With this industry leading, as It
does many Of the other industries
Of the state, It seems that a set Of
laws for its special benefit should be
formulated. Farmers and irrigators
should know what assurance they
have of owning and using their water
rights; the waste waters should be
utilized and distributed equhably and
no man should be permitted TO use
more than he needs for the production
OF his crops, from any stream Of the
state.
The development Of the state de-
pends largely upon the success Of her

Portland's bank clearings Of the
past week show better than any other
agency the substantial condition Of
Portland commercial life. On Friday
evening the weeks clearings shows
a total of s6,S7S,937, one of the finest
showings made for many months
There is nothing the matter with
Portland, excepting that she needs
a few hundred thousand more people
Just like those who now compose her
population.

irrigation projects and everything pos
sible must be done to safeguard the
water interests Of the state, II the
sheep industry requires commission
and special laws; If the railroad in
dustry needs special legislation and
a high salaried commission. surely the
Irrigation and water right problem
demands an equal amount Of atten-
ton from Oregon.
Let us try to pass a dozen broad,
useful. vital measures for the protec-
ton, development and regulation OF
the great basic industries of the
state. Let us get down to business.

THE FLEETS PERFORMANCES.

The Portland oregonian reviews
the remarkable performance of the
Atlantic fleet in coming to the Pacific
coast, in the following able manner:
The American battleship fleet of
Is vessels arrived in Magdalena bay
yesterday, three days ahead of time,
after covering $4,000 miles of the
siormiest ocean voyage in the world.
The fleet arrived in perfect condi-
ton, ready for action" after one
of the most severe tests ever made by
the ships Of any nation.
This performance will not surprise
the people who have remembered the
16,OOO-mile run OF the Oregon, twice
subjected to the burning heat of the
tropics and the piercing cold of the
far south as she raced through two
oceans in record time, and arrived
ready for action"
The achievement may be surprising,
however. to those who have placed
too much confidence in the criticism
made Of the fleet by the muckrakers
who have been exploiting its alleged
weaknesses and frightening the timid
people into believing that the navy
was no safer than a fleet of old tramp
steamers.
The trip of the Oregon, and the con-
dition in which she arrived on the fir
ing line were without parallel in naval
history; but there were other Amer
lean warships in the same engagement
ir which she participated, so that the
final chapters of the Spanish war offer
some interesting testimony as to the
ability of our ships to deliver the
goods"
If there is anything radically wrong |
with our fleet it was not discovered |
when it was sweeping the Spanish |
from the seas, and it is a certainty |
that it has not deteriorated since |
that time. If the present investigation |
d.scloses any serious shortcomings in |
or operation Of our fleet. |
it will be pleasing to know that it is
still able to make a showing some
what better than that Of any other
nation on earth.
