WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HELP?

Within less than a month the gates
of the Umatilla- Morrow county dis
trict fair will swing open. The pa
vilion is being enlarged and modified
to give more room for the exhibits
and TO better accommodate the
crowds.
What are you doing. personally, to
help? Are you adding anything to
it? Will it be better because you are
a resident Of the county? Will you
be able TO point to a solitary thing
you have done to make the fair a
success?
These questions are directed to
every individual farmer in the two
great counties. 1t is for the farmers
10 say whether this fair is to live or
die; whether it is to be a successful,

GOOD TIME TO INVEST.

Within the past year Umatilla
county has seen the greatest activity
ir irrigation development ever record
ed in the county in a similar period.
Values have advanced from 25 to 100
per cent on land partially or wholly
under irrigation, while desert land
which was in the raw state a year ago
has advanced 1000 per cent, at least.
The next few years will see even
greater development and advance in
price for the reason that most of the
irrigated land is just now coming in
to state Of productlveness, just now
beginning to yield a return and as
yields increase. values will increase.
and those who want to invest in this
class Of property can find no more
auspicious time than now.
The idle money boarded in the
banks Of the county could be earnine
handsome returns for its owners in
developing the irrigated section.
Strangers come into the county and
with few thousand dollars for in
vestment become wealthy within
few years from the matchless re-
sources Of the county while much Of
the home capital is to timid- to try

MIGHT TEMPT BANKERS.

The Spokane Chronicle discussing
the proposed bank guarantee plan in
cluded in the democratic platform,
says some important things which
should cause both bankers and de-
positors to think seriously before un-
qualifiedly accepting the proposition
which seems to be good business on
first glance.
While a guarantee of bank depos,
itors by the government might have
many excellent features about it,
there is also another side and the
Chronicle brings it out clearly as fol-
lows:
The alleged panacea for all of our
financial ills, the national guarantee
Of bank deposits, will probably not
meet with general favor, for there is
a widespread belief that the sugges-
ted remedy would be worse than the
disease.
The agitation for the guarantee Of
bank deposits has naturally arisen
because of the expose of unsound,
speculative and dishonest banking
methods, made following the failures
during the last panic, but it is a grave
question whether the proposed guar
antee of deposits would result in the
elimination of Objectionable meth
ods.
On the contrary. in the opinion of
some people, it might lead to a fur
ther development of the evils which
it is designed to prevent.
Depositors would seek out the in
stitutions offering the most liberal in
ducements knowing their own money
To- be safe.
This would tempt the banks to take
speculative risks with depositors
money; for in the general scramble
for business they might have to pay
such large interest on deposited funds
that conservative investments would
no longer be profitable.
The more speculative of the banks
would eventually go to the wall, ana
the conservative bankers would have
to dip into their pockets to make good
the losses Of the very rivals who had
cut into their business.
Guarantees Of bank deposits, it is
feared, would virtually put a premium
on speculative dishonesty.

Cupid's net, until the hilarious and
defiant squad, which once set itself
UP as being invulnerable to the wiles
Of women, is but weak and totter,
ing shadow Of its former self.
The few remaining members, strip
ped Of their disdainful air, with the
wings OF a cruel and defiant bachel-
crhood clipped down to the quick 4"
and the gay colors OF the gallant
bunch trailing in the dust of defeat,
are now seeking secmsion in the more
quiet portions Of the city where they
hope to hide their identity.
1t is a bargain counter lot that is
left now. Cupid will have to hustle
to rid himself of these last few rem
nants of the 1O-cent counter. In
fact. he may have to resort to the
auction to finally close out the stock
Of Bachelors on Water street.
No more nights of hilarlty no more
days of matchless luxury, no more
cuisene miracles, no more incompar-
able smokers" no more rush orders
for champagne, no more 25 and 40
cent cigars, no more midnight cabs,
no more gay dinner parties ornaments
ed in rich wit and garnished with the
matchess wisdom of bachelorhood-
no more. alasl
The victory of Cupid has been over
whelming. It would be cruel to pub
lish the names of those remaining. In
mercy they will be allowed to go
their way in peace. And may kind
follow the forlorn hope of
the Bachelors club into oblivion. only

meat axe remain of a once poud es-

THE OLDEST STORY.

My story? Why sure; it's as simple
as true;
No reason at all to keep it from you.
It's as old and as long as the grief
Of mankind;
'Tis short, yes, and sweet as spice
laden wind.
It's the tale that was told when time
was begun,
And it will ever be new while shines
the bright sun.
1t is told in all lands, and in every
tongue,
BY the great and the humble and he
old and the young.
Twas whispered in Eden e'er temp
tation came;
When the judgments pronounced t
will still be the same.
In shadow and sunshine, in grief and
in JOY,
'Tls sweetness itself, and its sweets
never cloy.
'Tis lisped by each leaflet, each flower
that grows,
MS murmured by zephyrs to the
heart OF each rose;
II Is sung by each star in the blue
up above
'Tis the beautiful story: "Pm loved

But they told me that the day he
went into the grotto he was followed
in most solemn procession by all the
red monks of the monestary, and
when all the ceremonies prescribed
in the holy books had been gone
through, the narrow entrance into
the grotto had been closed up again.
We were standing outside it. asked
the head lama whether he could hear
us talk. He replied, "Oh, no, he can
neither hear nor see; he is sunk night
and day in profound meditation"
How do you know that he Is

once in Tibet We passed two young
lamas from Khan, says Sven Hedin
in Harper's Magazine, They did not
walk like ordinary pilgrims but lit
orally measured off the distance with
their own bodies, Lying down full
length on the ground they would join
their hands and read a prayer, then
make a mark on the ground, arise,
join their hands together again over
their heads, and mutterlng a prayer,
take a few steps forward to the
mark, to fall full length once again
ard repeat the entire ceremony all
the way round the mountain
Performed in this manner by
"prostration" the journey took 20
days. The two lamas we saw had
only done about half the distance and
they contemplated doing the whole
journey twice. one of them who was
to return there after having complet-
ed his duty as pilgrim. The other
he was barely 20 years old-was to
pass the remainder of his earthly life
in a dark grotto on the banks of the
Upper Tsangpo.

The Paris Bath Peddler.

There are in Paris many houses
that are bathless, more, perhaps than
in American and English cities. This
is of course, a great inconvenience to
the inhabitants. and an ingenious
Frenchman, realizing this, goes
through the streets with a bath outfit
which he lets on hire to anyone who
cares to pay the small fee of 25 cents
he demands, and, moreover, he sup
plies the necessary hot water.
