THE GREATEST COUNTRY.

The East Oregonian has always
prided itself on the fact that the
newspapers of a country are the
greatest and most persistent boosters.
This has been a sort of professional
conceit possessed perhap by every
newspaper.
But that conceit has been knocked
sky-high by the booster meeting and
banquet of last night in this city.
The real estate men can give the
newspapers cards and spades in a
boosting contest and then win the
honors without a struggle.
1t is safe to say that the real estate
men of Umatilla county are closer
together and better acquainted today,
following their meeting, than ever be-
fore in the history of the county.
And the business men of this city
know the sentiment in different parts
OF the county better than ever be-
fore
The booster meeting was simply
heart to heart talk among neighbors
and co-workers for the county's good
and the best of spirit prevailed.
Every section of the county was rep
resented and every one present was
convinced again for the thousandth
time that Umatllla county is the
greatest country on earth.
The eulogistic talks from different
representatives Of outside points were
revelations to many. The resources
of the county were set out in a new
light. Pendleton has a new view Of
the county, a new undertaking of the
resources and capabilities today and
it is safe to say will do far more than
her share to exploit every portion of
the county in che east.
Sunshine surprising that of San
Diego, the boasted sunshine city Of
the new world vineyards surprising
those of Andalusia; peach orchards
greater and more productive than
those of Italy's richest valleys; olive
groves surprising those of the Sein;
dairy farms that will outstrip Hol-
lands boasted possessions and flow
er gardens more gorgeous than those
of Pasadena-all are to be found in
the future Paradise of the inland en-
pire, western Umatilla and northern
UmaUlla county.
If you don't believe this, ask the
real estate men.

CURBSTONE CURIOS.

If ever any poor sinner got his just
deserts, the cdrbstone curios, or
knockers, got theirs at the real estate
mems banquet and meeting last night.
1t was agreed by all present at the
meeting that no legitimate business
man or honorable citizen ever does
aLy knocking, but it was agreed that
a species Of knockers exists in every
community and one Of the bylaws Of
the real estate mems organization is
to search these out and run them
down and hush them up or shame
them out Of the country.
There will be less knocking in fu-
ture than there has been in the past
because every business man will now
have his ears open for these para
sites and will brand them in big let
tors and the parasites know 1t and so
will not carry their hammers expos
ed TO view.
If the good fellowship and excel
lent spirit Of last nights meeting does
nothing more than to silence the
knocker, the meeting will have borne
good fruits. If the curbstone curio
can be eliminated by the splendid
harmony which marked last nights
meeting, that will be sufficient re-
ward.

COURT OF BROKEN HEARTS.

Prompted by the success of the
court of Broken Hearts. so called
which it has been conducting for
some time past, the Educational al
lance has suggested through its legal
aid department, the establishment
by the municipality of domestic re-
latlons court" says a New York item.
In such a court, the alliance thinks
more time could be given to the hear
ing of family troubles than in the
present courts and through the pro-
posed tribunals operations much suf-
fering and misunderstanding might
be averted.
The alliance. through its present
informal and strictly unofficial court,
manages to straighten out scores of

HELP ONE ANOTHER.

The records Of Umatilla county
show that during the last year surety
bends to the amount Of s2S5,30 have
been signed in this county. These
bonds have been distributed among
65 persons and average S2120 per
capita for those interested. This
shows more clearly than any other
argument the faith which men repose
III their brothers and it shows to what
extent men are trusted and esteemed
by their friends.
These surety bonds are only a part
OF the obligations which men impose
upon themselves for their friends.
This does not include thousands of
rutes which have been signed, in
which men freely pledge their honor
ard their property to help their
friends.
After all, it is pretty good world.
With all its selfshness It still has
worlds Of genuine fraternity and fel-
lowship. 1t still possesses genuine
philanthropy and brotherhood, not
withstandlng its chase after the dol
lars.
This record is one Of the most in
spring written in the county during
the year.

One of the follies of the age Is to
believe that money Is necessary to
happiness and enjoyment. But the
falsity Of this sentiment Is shown
every day in the poor men who keen
ly enjoy life and who find in their
families, their books, their work, their
little homes a higher enjoyment than
Is known TO money-mad fanatics who
think great wealth means great hap
piness and enjoyment. 1t is the mind
and soul Of the man that determines
the degree Of enjoyment which he
gets out Of life.

WHAT CAUSES DYSPEPSIA?
And Incidentally Constipation, Coated Tongue, Nervousness, Headache,
 and Other Symptoms.

Did you ever know that the stomach is a churn? That just as soon as you are done eating, the healthy stomach commences to roll the food around, and mixes it thoroughly with the juices of the stomach?
 And did you know. dear reader, that if the stomach is run down or flabby, so that it cannot do the churning, that dyspepsia is the result?
 If the food is not churned. it lays heavily on your stomach, turns sour, and causes all kinds of distressing symptoms, such as headache, coated tongue, constipation, etc.
 And so, as every physician will tell you. the way to cure dyspepsia is to fix the churn. or in other words. build up the stomach so that it will properly mix the food.
 If you have dyspepsia and want to get rid of it before it gets rid of you. go to Larson Drug Go. and get a large box of Mi-o-na tablets. The cost is only 50 cents. and every reader of The Ari- zona Republican is welcome to his or her money back if Mi-o-na does not cure Mf-o-na has cured thousands of the worst and most obstinate cases of indi- gestion. It quickly cures sea or car sickness and vomiting of pregnancy. Mi-o-na is the great stomach tonic, one or two tablets will stop sea or car sickness. vomiting of pregnancy, and will instantly tone up she worn out stomach the morning after the social session.

THE UNABATED ZEAL
 OF DELEGATE SMITH
HE WILL DO HIS UTMOST FOR
 EARLY STATEHOOD.
He Invites the Heartiest Cooperation
 of All, Regardless of Party.


 Hon. Marcus A Smith, in letter to the people of Arizona, assures his constituents that his zeal in behalf of statehood has not been abated, by the result of the late election. He pledges his best efforts in the direction of admission and invites the cooperation of people of all parties.
 MT Smith says:
 'To the People of Arizona:
 Both national conventions in their recent platforms unequivocally prom ised immediate statehood to Arizona, and also to New Mexico I did not in the campaign express or feel a doubt of these promises, no matter whom the people might choose as a delegate in congress. Many people were, however, led to believe by edi- torials and public speeches that the only way to get statehood was to elect a republican to congress, and thus insure the favorable action of the national republican administra- tion in our behalf. l was defeated and my republican opponent was elected. My defeat has not abated in the least my zeal in our struggle for statehood and it is my purpose to do all in my power to press a bill to a successful passage at the coming short session of congress.
 Whatever may happen, I want the people of Arizona to know that throughout the coming session I will use every honorable means to secure the passage of the measure for which I have labored these many years. have had no opportunity to ascertain what effect the election may have had on the democrats in the senate and house of representatives, but believe, and sincerely hope, they will be as unaffected by the result of the election as I am, and will accord that support which they have so long freely given to our fight for Arizona statehood.
 'I am less confident of the repub- lican side of the house and senate, and I take this means of assuring all republicans in Arizona who shall come to Washington this winter to aid in securing republican support of the statehood bill, that I will most cheerfully greet them and work with them tremendously, to the end so much desired. This is no time nor will Washington be the place for any of us to think of politics or parties, but, throwing every other .considera- tion to the winds, work with one ac- cord to the accomplishment of the great purpose before us. I deem it vitally essential that the bill be pass ed at once. Delay is extremely dan gerous.
 The joint state bill is not abso- lutely beyond resurrection in a new congress, controlled by Messrs. Can non, Payne and Dalzell, and the sen ate committee on territories composed of such opponents to statehood as
