main streets of. the city.
eff drunken man should accost a
stranger with anything like such
familiarity he would be arrested at
once, and I do not see why a sober
man should be allowed to do such
things. In st. Joseph, Kansas City
and st. Louis they have stopped the
practice long ago. These business
vultures hurt city worse than any
one can imagine. One man dragged
will tell his whole neighborhood about
how they treat strangers in Topeka"
What this merchant says is all
true, and the practice should be
stopped at once. An ordinance max
ing 1t a misdemeanor for any mer-
chant or clerk to take a person pass
ing his store by the arm and even at
tempt to lead him or her inside would
do the business. Chief Eaton could
place couple OF plain clothes men
in that section Of Kansas avenue and
a couple of arrests and convictions
would break up the practice easily
and effectively in no time. There is
nothing SO disagreeable and disgust
ing as to have the public subjected to
the indignities of these harpies who
like animals in the jungle. The coun-
Gil will undoubtedly give consideration
to such an ordinance and thus win
the appreciation of a very large ma
jority Of the people in this section of
the state.

attendance that the educational and

can be exercised upon her members.
Faithful church-goers are indoctrin-

Many a faithful pastor is wearing

could as well, or better, be performed
by his members, IL the latter rightly
held the idea of working church.
There are many phases to church

The
General Demand

Of the Well-Informed Of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant
and efficient liquid laxative remedy of
known value; a laxative which physl.
clans could sanction for family use
because its component parts are
known to them to be wholesome and
truly beneficial in effect, acceptable
to the system and gentle, yet prompt,
in action.
In supplying that demand with its
excellent combination of Syrup of
Figs and Elixir Of SIENNA, the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies on the merits
Of the laxative for its remarkable
success.
That Is one Of many reasons why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir of Senna is
given the preference by the Well
Informed. To get Its beneficial effects
always buy the genuine-manufac
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,
only, and for sale by all leading
druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

ONE MODEL COUNTY.

There may be model counties IN
more ways than one. There may be
models in financial condition, in pub
lie morals, in progressive methods, in
educational progress and otherwise,
but according to the Oregon Daily
Journal, Benton county combines all
these virtues into one and may be
taken as the multiple model of Ore
gon. a combination of all the virtues,
a composite of everything good and
wholesome and sensible.
The Journal says:
Benton county is out of debt. Aside
from some violations of the local op-
ton law, now suppressed, it is a coun-
ty practically without crime. There
IL but little litigation there. A term
of circuit court sometimes lasts but
a day or two.
The people, however, are not asleep,
but are industrially active and are be-
coming more and more enterprising.
There is richer farming land to be
had at moderate price, much unim-
proved land, timber land and many
streams. The climate is almost per-
Benton" it is a dry county.
Where is there a better residence
county. a better one for American
homes, in the country? If there is a
better one it must be some other Or
egon county-and we doubt If any of
these is more than 'just as good"
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-03-12

all OF the west and of the county
will make a mistake IL they do not
begin early to cultivate this side OF
industrial life.
Orchard and Farm says Of move
ment for the Identification Of the
waste places in southern California:
To beautify the bare, brown hills
of southern California with trees and,
in fact, to turn the fringe of the des-
ert into a paradise, is the worthy aim
of the Monterey Tree-Growing club.
Not only for southern California alone
is the good work being urged, but also
for all other parts of the state in
need of trees for shade and ornament.
The club contemplates building
log clubhouse on its beautiful tract
within the town limits of Monterey,
and the members will engage in an ac-
tive propaganda for the beautifying Of
the barren portions of the state.
H. A. Green has been elected tenn
porary president, and he has issued
little pamphlet giving details of the
work to be done by the club. He has
on hand several hundred Monterey
pine and redwood trees, growing in
tin cans, which will be in good con-
dition for transplanting during the
coming season. These trees will be
offered in exchange for other desira-
BILE kinds held by other tree-growins
clubs. The Monterey club will receive
orders for Monterey pines, to be de-
livered next winter in any quantity
for IS per 100, the money to go to
the school children who are growing
them.
President Greene says that possibly |
he best native California tree for |
street and road planting is the chest
nut oak, our best tanbark tree (quer-
,us densifolia.)

THE CAT IN THE MEAL TUB.

Richard Parson Hobson. congress-
man from Alabama, as the result of
the notoriety he received by sinking
an old hulk in Santiago harbor. IS
going over the country delivering lee
lures in which he declares that war
between the United States and Japan
is inevitable and the bounded duty of
this country, If she would save herself
from destruction, is to appropriate
$50, 900 a year building more bat
tleships. That's the cat in the meal
tub. Get up a war scare to frighten
the people and through them induce
congress to make big appropriations.
It is an old trick and generally works
we'll. AS a matter of fact there is not
the slightest probability of a war with
Japan. That country has no desire or
intention to attack us Mr.. Hobson
could be in much better business. Our
navy is large enough at present for
all purpoe. Instead of more money
to meet wars that will never mater
ialize, it would be much better to de-
vote this $4,000, 900 a year to the
purpose of peace. Let it be devoted
to improving our waterways and ben
efitting agriculture.-Amerlcan Far

ORIGIN OF PEANUTS.

The peanut, which, strictly speak
ing, is not a nut at all, but ground
pea, has not been found in a truly
wild state, and hence its historians
have found 1t difficult to fix upon its
habitat. In Africa during the 18th
century, 1t was extensively cultivated
and formed such an important article
of native food that the slave dealers
loaded their vessels with 1t, using 1t
as food for their cargoes of captives.
While some botanists have attempt
ed to trace its spread from China to
Japan, the weight OF authority seems
to be in favor Of accepting is as
native of Brazil. 1t was largely cult.
vatsd in the warmer portions of the
Old World long before its merits were
recognized in the land of its origin,
assuming it to be native OF the
Western Continent. The yearly pro-
duction of peanuts in this country Is
100000 bushels, which just about
supplies the present demand in the
United States. Three-fourths Of the
American crop is sold through street
vendors.

ON TO PENDLETON.

The news story in the East Oregon
oan today announcing that the Walla
walla Traction company now has a
crew Of surveyors at work on the ex-
tension OF that line from Freewater
toward Weston, confirms the predic-
ltions of this paper that the traction
company will build into this city with
in a reasonably short time.
There is everything for the company
to build here for. Traffic would over
whelm the line within a few months
all the way through Umatilla county
Pendleton IS the logical center of the
inland empire and the company must
come to Pendleton to get in position
tc command the business of this
growing territory,
The values of land will greatly in
crease all the way through Umatilla
county by the coming of this line.
New settlements will spring up, fami-
lies will move out to the abandoned
ranches, schools will be maintained
at unexpected places and Umatilla
county will awaken to the true life
which awaits her.
And the line will not stop at Pen
dleton. Hermiston or Umatilla is the
ultimate goal. After leaving Pendle-
ton the line would enter the rich irri-
gated section which is just coming
into usefulness. From Pendleton
westward, as well as eastward, would
come a most thrilling activity and
new settlements would mark the now
forbidding sagebrush wastes.
And the Industrial developments
which would follow the coming of the
traction line to this city and on to
Umatilla would be but Insignificant
compared to the social benefits to
be enjoyed. It would stimulate So
cial Intercourse; 1t would induce peo-
pie to travel and see and become ac-
ouainted; it would awaken the ex-
cursion spirit It would bring neigh
bors together. towns together and
counties together and would be a So
cial and educational uplift for this en-
tire section OF country
