forgets the petty annoyances which
are born OF this fear
PENDLEpoN's FUTURE.

In every irrigated belt in the world
It is estimated that the chief city of
each distinct irrigated section should
contain one person in population for
every acre OF irrigated land tributary
to the city.
This is not a fancifhl dream of a
booster, but it is a bona fide esti-
mate which is founded upon funda-
mental economic conditions and can
DC depended upon.
Let us take peep into the future,
then, and try to imagine the Pendle-
ton of five or 10 years hence.
Beginning at the borders of the city
on the west and extending to the
Morrow county line are over $4,000
acres of land which will be brought
under irrigation within the next few
years. The reclamation Of this
amount is now practically assured,
much of the amount being now under
irrigation.
The outlook is too optimistic. Let
us cut the estimate in two and give
Pendleton one person for every two
acres of irrigated land tributary. Let
us say that Pendleton is entitled to
1000 people under the estimates of
cold-blooded statisticians. Let Us give
the doubter every advantage and take
the little end of the stick" That
outlook is superb.
And every foot of this $4,000 acres
is directly tributary to Pendleton. Four
daily passenger trains now bring that
section into close communication with
this city which is the county seat and
chef trading center. Twice. aye, four
times that many electric trains daily
will bind that rich sectional still
closer 10 EtHulelOu NlllllIl ali lilSlSu-
IDLY short time.
Settlement is increasing, crops are
increasing, shipments of farm, or
chard and range products are multi
plying in that tributary territory and
there is no reason why the traffic
will not double every year, after once
results begin to pour in from the ir-
rigated belt.
And all of this settlement and
traffic, while directly helping the
small towns, will also help and build
up Pendleton.
Let us look at the bright side and
build for the bright future. The pos
sibilities here are unsurpassed any
where in the northwest.

DOLLARS IN WHEAT. KERNELS.

If but two grains of corn could have
been added to each ear grown in the
state of Missouri, last year, the sum
OF 100000 would have been placed
in the pockets of Missouri corn grow
ers, according to the estimates Of
Dean H. ]. Waters of the Missouri
Agricultural college.
Dean Waters has made this COM
putation and issued this statement to
prove that scientific farming pays.
Better farming methods will increase
the production Of crops, every time,
and increased production, be 1t ever so
small, means an enormous total in
crease in wealth.
Take the same proposition in Una
tilla county. Suppose that more cul-
tlvation, deeper plowing, less sum-
mer following will actually increase
the production of wheat two bushels
per acre. With 100000 acres of land
in wheat, the total increase in the
county would be 100000 bushels,
which at 60 cents would mean $780,
600 additional for the growers of the
county.
Does any sane, farmer doubt for an
instant that the production of wheat
can be increased by better methods?
When the Missouri experts calculate
upon the basis of corn kernels AMI
find that such an enormous increase
can be enjoyed by improved methods.
is it not reasonable to believe that the
same practical methods will also in
crease wheat production?
1t is to increase the number of ker-
nels to the acre, to make the yield
heavier and better and to preserve the
soil forces that farming demonstration
trains are run, and IL the farmers will
heed the lectures and follow the adj
vice Of the experts, it will doubtless
be money in their pockets, no matter
how many may sneer at book farm
ing"

VOTE mo" ON NUMBER 321.

A vicious little amendment to the
constitution is proposed under No.
$40 and 321 on the official ballot this
year. This amendment seems inno-
cent enough and is couched in espe-
clally patriotic language, but under
its velvet may be felt the sharpened
claw of selfish interests.
This amendment proposes to give
cities. the alleged power to regulate
theaters, clubs, saloons, pool rooms
and other places especially named and
which now are regulated by the Grim
inal law of the state. If the amend
ment passes it will place gambling,
the liquor question and Sunday clos
ing absolutely beyond the power of
sheriffs and district attorneys and will
make cities Independent of counties
and state.
1t is the ruse of selfish interests to
get control Of saloons, bawdy houses,
theaters, pool and gambling rooms
and be immune from punishment un-
der state law. 1t is a nice dodge to
overthrow the local option law and
the criminal code of the state and
voters who favor morality and we'll
regulated towns are urged to vote
NO" on number 321.
Pead the amendment carefully and
see for yourself what 1t is.

A Grave Tragedy.

A peculiar incident occurred at a
grave in Anaconda. Mont, few days
ago. The remains of George Quigley
were being Inferred when two persons
stood at the open grave, a man and
a woman. Both gave evidence OF
grief. but neither apeared in the least
cognlzant Of the presence Of the other.
The man was Lester Quigley Of Battle
Creek, Mich, son Of the deceased,
and the woman was Mrs. Emma Rog-
ers, who claimed to be a daughter
The son refuses to recognize her
claim.

Strange that the rich irrigated
land in the western part of the county
is being bought up largely by out
slders, by strangers, while hundreds
of thousands of dollars of home CAPT.
tai lies idle in the banks waiting for
an investment. Every foot of the 500
per acre land will be worth from 5000
to $1,000 per acre within five years.
It is the history of vineland, Kenne-
wick, Hood River, Wenatchee and
every other rich section Of the north
west. The pioneers pass up these
opportunities and allow strangers to
come in and grow independently rich
from them.

Mr.. @. G. Convers, Pres. Cold Storage Ice and

81 had been troubled with very serions case
of catarrh for number of years. Having tried
many prescriptions by good physicians, found
myself no better.
"On the advice of a friend who had used Peruna
with good results l purchased a bottle. The
results were so good that continued using 1t.

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.


Why anybody should be seriously
alarmed over the prospects Of prohi-
bition is beyond comprehension.
Umatilla county is one Of the richest
il the state Outside Of Multnomah.
this is perhaps the very richest coun-
ty in the state in material resources.
And the county has not yet begun to
develop.
The wheat and alfalfa crops this
year promise to exceed those Of any
former years. The fruit and berry
crop is enormous and the market ex-
cellent. More cattle will be fed and
marketed from the county this year
than ever before because more new
land IS coming in, Portland markets
are better and it pays better to feed.
New people are settling in the irri-
gated sections every day. The trade
OF the merchants Is certain u lhCI CIedSe
as the country settlement increases.
Soon electric lines will criss-cross the
county and why such little matter
as prohibition, even IL It were liable
to come, should alarm anybody is be-
yond comprehension.
The rich and beautiful county OF
Umatilla is immune from a small
scare Of that kind. Her resources
defy it. Her independence laughs at
It. She turns with conscious pride to
the wealth Of her undeveloped lands,
her vast ranges, her idle streams and
