Mark this down to the credit of
Umatilla county: The first straw
berry to ripen in the northwest this
year, ripened in Umatllla county; the
first box of homegrown berries mar
keted in Oregon this year, was mar
keted in Umatilla county. And it is
scfe to say that the last crate OF Ore
gon grown berries to be marketed
next fall will come from Weston
mountain, Umatilla county.

legged Increased circulation is mlslead-
ing TO business men.
In this Washington contest several
hundred dollars in cash for which no
subscriptions We're secured, were
turned in the last night by chlvalrous
admirers of the contestants.
The large number of votes announc-
ed, therefore. did not represent an
increased circulation, but simply
meant that the man with the most
money at his disposal bought the pre-
nriums and the public was slightly
deceived, as 1t was lead to believe
that every cent of money turned In
represented increasing circulation.
Thus business men, will look with
many misgivings on the enormous
sum of votes announced in these con-
tests. 1t is simply rivalry between
the hackers of the contestants and the
long purse wins. Circulation is lost
sight of in the vote-selling program.

LET Us PROVE THE THEORIES.

Farmers Of Umatilla county who
have acquired large holdings and
made fortunes in wheat land through
persistent labor and economy, are
naturally opposed TO new tangled
theories" Of farming. They have been
eminently successful in their meth
Cd and what more than success can
any reasonable man desire?
So 1t will be absolutely necessary to
do something more than preach to
these farmers to induce them to
change their methods. The East Or
egonian has preached on diversified
farming methods until It is black In
the face. and there is no appreciable
change in the methods. But It does

The most important fact disclosed Is
that the money and votes received do

These humors get into the
blood through a deranged or inactive
condition of the system. Those
members whose duty it is to collect
and expel the refuse matter Of the
body fail to properly do their work,
and this surplus or waste matter is
left in the system to sour and fer
ment and be absorbed into the
blood. There are also certain
other humorS which get into the
blood from without. The juice or
milk from poisonous plants such
as poison oak, poison ivy, nettle

pores Of the skin and takes root in
the blood. This causes a breaking

GARDENERS USE
POLLUTED WATER
Mayor and Health Officer Find
That Vegetables Are irrigated
From Islais Creek
Immediate Action Will Be Taken
to Abate Usage of the
Sewage Outlet

Drastic action is to be taken by the
board of health in regard to the vege-
table gardens in the vicinity Of the
house of correction. Reports have
been made that the owners OF gardens
which borders on Islais creek, have
been watering their truck with the
water from the creek. which is prac-
tically a sewer. Islais creek not only
receives sewage from the city but from
the neighborhood. There is no sewer
in the districts that border the creek
and all refuse is washed into the creek.
Mayor Taylor and an attache from
the health board paid a visit to several
of the gardens in the vicinity of the
house of correction last Monday and
found the conditions very bad. The
lettuce, water cress and other vege-
tables are sprinkled with the water
from the creek. These vegetables are
sent to the markets in the city.
Mayor Taylor stated yesterday that
the best thing for the people of this
city TO do was to refrain from eating
the vegetables that come from that dis
trict. What action will be taken, ]
cannot say" he said. There are several
legal distractions in the way. Whether
we can compel the garden owners to
stop the use of the contaminated water
1 am not yet prepared to say. The
action should be stopped
The board of health has taken notice
of the complaint of the Academy tract
Improvement club, and in conjunction
with the board of works is investigat-
ing the lack of sewers in this district.
The board of works has completed a
map showing where there are no
sewers in the district, and will prob
ably go into the matter thoroughly at
todays meeting.
A recommendation Will probably be
made TO the board of supervisors that
a sewer to run from Alemany avenue
to the outlet OF Islais creek be con-
structed at once. The Ocean Shore
railroad will probably grant a right
of way
