about his wealth or knowledge of the
work, but gives some pretty good fig
ures.
From flock of 5S chickens he
gets an average of So eggs day, and
sells them for as cents dozen, maxi
ing an income Of 80 a week from that
small investment. or course, It is
only one of the sources of income
from that little Island county farm
But it shows what can be accomplish
ed by practical work and right man
agement.
Another farmer Of Island county
combines daiVying and poultrying, and
makes a financial success of both. He
owns FIVE cows and sells the milk at
creamery or condensary.
The figures for ~ months show
that the herd has returned checks ag-
gregating $522.56 during the year.
This is an average of 104,50 COW
for the year. The expense of caring
for and feeding the dairy herd did not
amount to much, for the time requir-
ed was only little each day, and the
feed was produced on the farm.
That man does not notice the ef-
fects of financial panic or any of
the disturbances in the commercial
world. To him life is not a burden
bearing period of existence. He and
his family enjoy health, wealth and
happiness.
The opportunities for attaining sue
cess from small things are on every
point of the compass. They are not
confined to, any particular county or
section of the state. Wherever man
is willing to go upon the land and
manage it correctly he can gain inde-
pendence.
The dairy and poultry farm consti-
tute one of the many avenues ready
for occupancy. Truck farming and
fruit growing offer similar induce
ments. The climate, soil and market
suggest firm friendship for the work
er who uses his hands and brain in
producing that which the consuming
public demands. A few dollars will
secure a home and stock the farm
with something upon which to begin
getting a steady income.

THE PANIC EXPLAINED.

G.. f. Holderman, superintendent
of the lighting department of the
traction company. has produced a
number of smiles among his ac-
quaintances by showing the follow
ing clipping having a bearing on the
financial situation:
The Bank Cashier-You see, Mr..
Schmidt. it's this way. There Is
plenty of money in the bank, but We,
and the other city banks, have agreed
in order to prevent panic, that we
will pay out only part of the actual
currency demanded by our deposit
ors. Your money is here, all right,
and you can have it jus tas soon as it
is safe to let you have it. In the
meantime we will give you, instead OF
actual cash, clearing house certifi-

pose. This is the third time | nave

BEWARE OF THE WOLF.

A measure which proposes to place
the towns and cities of Oregon at the
mercy Of the liquor interests and the
gamblers has been filed for an initia-
tive vote at the coming election.
This measure provides that all
cities Of the state shall regulate exclu-
sively saloons, gambling, pool selling,
Cheaters. race tracks and other lines
Of business now largely regulated by
state law. The measure takes away
all state authority and makes each
city a sovereign corporation in which
state laws may BE- defied. statutes
,rampled upon and decency scoffed
at.
Petitions asking for the submission
of this measure were circulated in
Pendleton some weeks ago the East
Oregonian mentioning the subject at
the time. over 5000 signatures have
been secured on the petitions which
were filed at Salem yesterday by May
OF Reddy of Medford.
This is a wolf in sleeps clothing
and the people Of Oregon should and
will snow it under SO deep that It
will be perpetual rebuke to its pro-
moters.
Under such a law it would be pos
gtbe for the immoral elements to
congregate in the cities and simply
Ignore all state laws for the suppress
sion Of vice. Cities would be dom .
mated By the liquor interests.
Local option under the state law
would be impossible in towns Gam
bling nov prohibited by state law,
%ould thrive under councils elected
and held in line by saloon votes. Pool
selling now prohibited by state law
would flourish in spite Of the state
and the cities would simply be dig
arches Of indecency, ruled, governed
and dictated TO by the immoral ele-
ments which would make oregon a
roosting place under such a law.
The people must beware Of thi,
aw It is the most vicious attempt

EMANCIPATION FOR MILTON.

Now that the Milton-F -Freewater
fruit district has ample railroad and
warehouse facilities with which to
handle and market, independently its
own enormous fruit crop, the East
Oregonian hopes to see it secure
complete emancipation from the
walla walla commission houses.
For quarter of a century Milton
has furnished Walla Walla with some
of her choicest fruits which have been
marketed under the walla Walla la
bel. In the past that was practically
necessary as Milton was not in posi-
ton to handle her crop to any ad-
vantage.
Now it Is not necessary. Milton and
Freewater have ample facilities and
should build up their own name and
fame abroad instead of contributing
longer to walla walla's borrowed
glory.
Some Of the choicest fruits to be
produced in the northwest are pro-
duced in the Milton -Freewater dis
trict. Hood River, North Yakima,
Wenatchee Medford-none of them
can excel this excellent irrigated sec
ton Of Umatilla county and Milton
and Freewater should enjoy the ad-
vertising which they earned by grow
ing excellent fruit. Commercial
emancipation is long past due for that
district. Let us look for the Milton
label hereafter.

An extra drill tonight at I sharp

Going to church Sunday was a pr.,t-
ty tough change for some of the
heather soldiers and said heather sol.
diers kicked like q two-year-old
mule with q humble bee che wing its
tail off. Kicking did no good. tho,
and as the Memorial sermon was a
peach, they enjoyed themselves much
more than at the common weekday
drills.
The governor has issued orders for
the blue uniforms to be sent in. A
new khaki will soon arrive to take it's
place.
A soldier jumped onto us with all
four feet the other day for saying
stuff about him in this column. OF
course we apologized for it in ashum-
BILE way, and told him we would not
have put it in if we had known
1t would make him mad, etc., ETC.,
in other words we said Jaw, go

ing shipped in at Schneider & Nelson

pos I'd to take that money out OF their
own pants.
The question mostly quarreled over
Tuesday was whether to wear the
blue uniforms on Memorial day or
the khaki. The captain had re-
ceived orders from the governor to
wear the khaki, but a few soldiers
raised a fuss, as they wanted the
blue. They tried to say that the
blue fitted better and gee whiz, they
even limited that it looked better.
Old Cap refused to be stuffed, tho,
and ordered the khaki uniforms to be
worn tomorrow.

pany 3D." S. D N. G., 4th Infantry,

September 9

Circus day with its parade, popcorn
and peanuts and all the giddy. gaudy.
paraphernalia of the occasion will
strike the city September Q. when Bar
mum & Bailey's great show will present
its many offerings.
The parade will start at 10 o'clock
in the morning of the opening day and
performances will be held twice daily at
the grounds at Twelfth and Market
streets. This aggre cation has added
many new novelties since its last ap-
pearance in San Francisco, the most
striking of which is the automobile act,
in which two machines, each managed
by a girl, somersault and pass each
other in midair after plunge down a
steep incline. AS a%thriller 1t is de-
clared to be the best of its kind.
The show has 375 performers all of
them the pick in their respective lines.
Few of the acts have been seen before
in the west. The show will, in every re-
spect, be the same as was presented at
the Madison Square gardens in New
York, where it made a phenomenal hit
this season Apart from the acrobats
and oener skilled performers, the circus
possesses large aggregation of clowns
with brand new set of stunts. The
circus will be in the city five days.

MARRIAGE FOLLOWS
DIVORCE TANGLES
Mrs. Florence Mcdonald Keegan

when Maxwell McNutt, the attorney and
son of DIR. w. F. McNutt, and Mrs.
Florence Mcdonald Keegan of Santa
Rosa, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Mark
L. Mcdonald, were married last night

secrecy surrounding the second venture
of the contracting parties, the many
relatives pleading ignorance. 1t was
finally learned that the marriage was
taking place at the home of Selah
Chamberlin, 1923 Vallejo street a
brother in law of the bride.
Society was startled several years
ago when it became known that Flor
ence Mcdonald and Morris Keegan, both
of Santa Rosa, had been clandestinely
married at the Palace hotel. The mar
riage was consummated after Mrs. Nc
