A Gun of BLESSING.

Never lose an opportunity of see
ing anything beautiful Welcome it
in every face, every fair sky, every
fair flower, and thank Him for it who
is the fountain of all loneliness, and
drink it simply and earnestly with all
your eyes; it is a charmed draught, a
cup of blessing.-Charles Kingsley.

The curt old doctor who told q
nervous patient to stop talking and
she would get well was more truthful
than polite. There is no doubt that
constant talking wastes vitality and
wears upon the nervous system. Often
one of the first signs of a nervous
breakdown is unusual loQuacipusness.

SENATE LAND COMMITTEE
Favorable Report Upon the Smoot
Bill Allowing Entry of 800 Acres
of Non.Irrigable Land.


Washington, Feb. 12.-The senate public
lands committee today reported favora-
bly, upon two bills to enlarge the home
stead acreage unit in arid and sem-arid
states. One was the SmOot bill, which
permits entry as homestead of go acres
of nOn-iTrigable lands, and provides for
granting a patent after cultivation dur
ing five years after entry. Residence on
the land is not required. Objection to
this bill originally was made by Senator
Hepburn. who insisted that Idaho should
be excepted from its provisions At to-
days meeting he withdrew his opposition
and Idaho is included with other arid
states in the scope of the measure.
The committee also reported favorably
the Dixon bill, which applies exclusive
ly TO the state of Montana and which
permits the entry of $50 acres as home
stead. forty acres of which may be ir-
rigable land. The Dixon bill requires
residence of five years and proof that
improvements of not less than 81. % per
acre have been made as requisite for
patent.
The committee also reported faVoTably
upon the Hepburn bill to grant the state
of Idaho an additional million acres of
land under the Carey act and the War
rem bill 20 enlarge the Crow Creek ma
newer grounds by exchange of private for
public lands.

FOREST RESERVES SACRED
Stockmen Who Allow Their Cattle to
Trespass Declared Subject
TO Prosecution.
Especial to The Herald.D


Washington. Feb u. Forester Pinchot
announced today that he has been noti-
fled that the circuit court of appeals in
the Ninth circuit has affirmed the de-
cision of Judge Hunt of Montana, sus-
tanning the right of the government to
prosecute for trespassing Stockmen who
Craze livestock dpon government forest
reserves without first securing a permit.
A copy of the decision has not been re-
ceived by Pinchot, but he believes it for
bids stockmen to allow stock to drift on
forest reserves and that reserves need not
be fenced TO prevent such drifting, al
though state laws may make fencing nee
cssary to exempt private lands from tres
pass.
The decision of the court of appeals is
in the case of Thomas Shannon, against
whom an injunction was granted by Judge
Hunt restraining him from allowing his
cattle to drift onto the Little Belt for
the fact that Montana has a fence law,
lands before they can obtain redress from
stockmen whose cattle trespass upon
them. A similar case Is now pending in
Colorado. and it is the opinion of the
forestry bureau officials that the deci-
sion of the court of appeals will be fol-
lowed in this and other cases which may
be brought in this connection.
Representative Cook has requested the
secretary of agriculture to join in a friend
ly suit. with a view to determining if
the imposition of grazing fees in forest
reserves has the sanction of law.

HAMMOND UNDER THE KNIFE
Noted Mining Engineer Operated
Upon for Observation-Disclosures
for Recovery Good.

San Francisco. Feb. l2.-John Hays Ham
mond, the mining engineer. was operated
upon this morning for chronic appendi-
citis in his apartments at the FairmOunt
hotel in this city. Tonight, according to
a statement given out by his secretary.
he is resting easy. and the chance for his
speedy recovery is good.
Mr.. Hammond came to San Francisco
from Santa Barbara three days ago. He
has been spending the winter in the
southern resort with his family. He was
stricken with appendicitis some weeks
ago, and it was thought that he might
be able to recover without an operation.
until a few days ago, when it was de-
cided to bring him to this city and have
the operation performed here.
As soon as he is we'll enough to stand
the trip. Mr.. Hammond will be taken
south again. The operation was in every
way successful. and unless complications
set in there is no danger.

not an enemy of wealth lawfully ac-
cumulated. He welcomed and encour-
aged internal Improvement of course,
cherished prosperity developed by busi-
ness enterprises and the combinations
of capital, but he always exalted i'm the
consideration of every issue the rights
of the Individual. and especially of the
humber members of society who were
least able to protect themselves. There
fore, we may know with certainty that
cannot brook contradiction, that in the
struggle to make all business lawful
to take away from great corporations
the illegal privileges and immunities
that official Investigations have shown
in many instances to prevail, Lincoln
would have made the same good fight
which has endeared Roosevelt to the
same plain people of the country who
upheld the hands of the martyred pres
ident through all the great trials of his
administration"

BAN ON TRADING In COTTON FUTURES

less for their wheat. Last summer spec
uiators and the investment public saw
that cotton was a short cTop and should
sell higher. They went into the market
and put the price up to nearly 13 cents,
or cents higher than now, but as soon
as the heavy offerings of the planters
got on the market during September and
October. the price went down over cents
before the panic. This decline was due
because the speculative support was not
strong enough to carry the load of hedge
sales by the cotton merchants against ac-
tual cotton bought from the planter.
If the southern people who want to
help carry the load had not been prevent
ed on account ofsthe recent laws passed
preventing trading in futures. we should
have received at least so more per bale

SCHOOLS BOOST a TOWN.

The little city of Lebanon, Linn
county wears the porud distinction OF
state championship in high school de-
bate, says the Salem Journal. The
young ladies who won out are Annie
Mccormick, Elsie Dillard and Pear
Aldrich; against Birdie Wise, Car
Thos and Jennie Jeffers Of Astoria.
Sometimes such decisions are ar
rived at in a more or less hap-haz-
zard manner, owing to the systems OF
marking.
But the significance Of small city
like Lebanon winning out over all
the high schools of the state is very
important.
Lebanon has impressed the writer
for some years as having made a
great feature of public school enthu-
siasm.
This is due to the personal enthu-
siasm of few men i'm the communi-
ty like Senator Miller and Postmast-
er Brown and men on the public
school board.
It is a great advertisement for
Lebanon. The city is more noted
for its high school than almost any
other feature.
1t is a good thing for town to
become noted for-its public schools
and educatioal advantages.

INDIAN LEGEND OF THE
GLAND OF WA WA"

The following northwest Indian le'
gend Of the Land of Wa Wa" is from
the Seattle magazine, the Westerner
The early settlers of eastern Ida
no had much trouble in fighting the
mosquitoes. The insects were so nu'
merous that workers in the fields
were compelled to wear gloves to pro-
tect their hands from being bitten
by the pests
Mormon pioneers wore wells over
their faces when milking the cows
because OF the great swarms of mos
quitoes that came from the meadows
after sunset. For many years after
the first homes were erected the peo-
pie had to fight for comfort every
where they tried to locate;
Thy built huge fires and covered
the burning brush with green plants
to make a smoke that would drive
the insects away The houses were
screened with wire and cloth TO keep
mosquitoes from getting inside and
disturbing the rest of the people.
The Indians designated the country
as the land of the Wa-Wa and related
this legend.
Many years ago there lived great
god named Wa-wa. He was larger
than the ordinary man and had a
sharp beak four feet long. When any
of the neighbors crossed his path this
big, lazy creature would stick his
beak into them and emit poison
which soon caused them to die.
He lived in a big stone house and
had the place fortified with high
canyon walls. Being rich, he had
numerous servants that were kept in
bondage. Every living thing feared
the god Wa-wa which was the In
dian word for mosquito. Meetings
were held and plans made to rid the
country of this dangerous foe. But
all efforts were of no avail. He sue
ceeded in overpowering all his enc
mics and driving them rrom his cho-
sen land
Coyote was a shrewd little fellow
who feared nthing. He lived by his
wis anu Sdlucu through lne uay
much flattery. He had two sisters
who were wiser than himself. When
he was in need of advice the sisters
were consulted. They opened COM
munica;ion with the spirits and re-
ceived proper counsel. They told
Coyote to take his stone ak and go to
the house of Wa-wa. The AK was con-
cealed Coyote carried five little
sticks.
When he neared the house of Wa
wa he lighted the sticks and caused
a powerful smoke to fill the place.
Then Wa-wa dropped upon the floor.
Coyote would not kill him. but with
the AK he split open his head and
caused thousands of little Wa-was to
come forth. The power to send out
poison was taken away and Wa-wa
was ever after only a small insect,
now numbered by millions and known
as the mosquito of Snake river val
ley.

CoLoRED BROTHER TIRED.

Several years ago." said Represen-
tative Talbert Of South Carolina. II
attended a colored church down in
my state where a revival meeting was
going on. The preacher was a big fat
negro, who seemed to be wound up
for an all-night discourse His sub
ject was the Prophets. He rambled
on for an hour or more about the
Major Prophets and then he turned
his attention to the minor Prophets.
"'My breddern.' he said, with d
wide sweep of his righ arm, we now
come to Hosea. Let us consider him.
Whar shall we put Hosea?'

aged colored man, rising. I am so
d--tired I'm going home"

PENDLETON. WET AND DRY

Pendleton has always been a good
wet town and as the saloons and
liquor business produced none of her
wealth nor the wealth of Umatilla
county she will be even a better
dry" town.
1t is a fallacy to believe that sa-
looms make a town, or add anything
TO the natural resources of a town or
community People might as well
meet the facts bravely and dispose OF
them at once. The liquor traffic
never added one cent to the resources
Of any town or community in the
world. It simply handles and accu-
mulates the money which others pro-
duce.
So Pendleton will go ahead just the
same. She will be the banking, trad
ing and commercial center of the
same rich territory, she will build her
city hall and federal building, improve
her streets and water system, add to
her school facilities and become the
school center of eastern Oregon in
every sense of the word.
The same Pendleton spirit is here,
the same intelligent business men are
al the helm, the same rich country
surrounds the town, the same pros
T.ects are ahead of Pendleton that
have always been anticipated and
there are even more reasons to boost
and build up Pendleton now than ever
before, because we can truly say to
homeseekers that the moral condi-
tions Of the town and county are be-
yond question.
The pessimists say that We cannot
run the city government and meet the
expenses without the saloons. This
is a direct Insult to the intelligent cit
liens who are directing the city's af-
fairs. They can run a city without
vice and can meet the legitimate ex-
penses without levying on immortality.
The change in the policy Of the
county and city has come to stay and
conditions will quickly adjust them
selves. The East Oregonian has too
much faith in the stability of Pendle-
ton and Of Umatilla county to believe
the pessimistic complaints that are
being made and that will be made
about prohibition. 1t believes that
the actual resources Of this county are
too great and too varied to be effect
ed in any way by the abolition Of a
producing, expense and crime
breeding business.
Umatilla county is just entering her
best era. New land is coming under
cultivation, new homes are being
founded, new settlers are coming and
new sections OF the county are being
developed rapidly. All Of this means
wealth, prosperity, trade and traffic
for Pendleton and it is up to this city
to build good roads into these new
sections to make 1t easy for People
to come to the city and easy to traV-
erse the county.
Within an incredibly short time the
city will forget that 1t ever had a sa-
loon, forget that it ever depended up
or the saloon income to maintain the
city government and Pendleton dry
