BIGGEST WOOL SALE.

The largest sale of wool ever made
In America and the largest transac-
ton between a grower and purchaser
in modern times was the 1000, 900
pound transaction between Charlie
Bair, of Billings, Mont, and Silber-
man Bros, OF Chicago. Mr., Bair was
a delegate to the recent Republican
convention, and quickly accepted the
sixteen cent offer made by Chicago's
big vol house.
One million pounds OF this wool re-
presented BARS own clip, and the
other million pounds the wool grown
by companies in which Mr., Bair Is
largely interested. II is a notable
sale in every respect. 1t is said that
the Bair clip is the finest in Montana
this year.
To transport this wool will require
100 cars with the average capacity of
10000 pounds per car. Chicago is
big in all things and Silberman Bros,
have certainly carried off the palm for

Of $320,OOO for a single purchase of
wool is no small financial transaction

THE OCTOPUS AND THE COURTS.

The standard Oil company has at
last found a United states court which
it can handle, ii would seem. The
federal court of appeals of Chicago,
which yesterday set aside the verdict
Of Judge Lands in the Standard re-
batting cases, and RENTED the S29,-
100000 fine imposed by Judge Landis
upon the oil octopus, has shattered
the faith of the people in the sta
bility OF the courts.
Judge Landis is an able judge. He
knows the law as well as any of the
judges in the court OF appeals, and
he found that the Standard oil COM
pany was guilty, guilty as a dog and
fined it accordingly. The evidence
that the octopus had been rebating
was conclusive. The crime was appar-
ent. The fine was only in keeping with
the crime.
Now comes this great" court Of
appeals, one of the highest tribunals
in the land, and sets aside the verdict,
RENTS the fine and whitewashes this
Internal corporation which is smoth-
ering honest industry to death in
every part of the United states by its
grossly criminal practices.
That the judicial system of the
United States is a pitiable farce, is
more and more apparent every day.
Anarchy among the rich and power
full will increase the sentiment of an
archy among the common people.
When the people see justice thwarted
ard just verdicts set aside in the cases
Of billion-dollar corporations. it low
ers their respect for courts and codes
and poisons their minds with the de-
sire for revenge.
The court of appeals says that the
Standard Oil corporation was not
on trial in Judge lands court, that
he did not have evidence to show that
it was guilty and that the whole trial
and fine of the octopus by lands was
a miscarriage of law.
The people do not believe this rot.
They believe that Judge lands is
honest, capable and fearless and that
the court of appeals is a trucking
which is ready to prostitute itself be-
fore wealth on the slightest techni-
csllty
II It is impossible to convict a GRIM
inal corporation, then the people will
naturally say that revolution is the
only cure for existing evils. The
courts offer no redress and are the

A TIP TO UMATILLA.

The East Oregonian Is anxious to
dispel the Umatilla idea that a tract
OF land varying in size from $40 to
1000 acres is necessary for the sup
port Of single family which lives in
town and sees the farm but few
times during the year.
With this aim in view, this paper
publishes from time to time, the re-
suits Of intensive farming in other
sections Of the country that our peo-
pie may know what magnificent re-
suits are being obtained from small
tracts of land elsewhere.
John McLennan Of New York state,
writes the following description Of
his farm to the Rural New Yorker,
and as this same high state Of culti-
walton and intensive farming may be
reached in parts of Umatilla county,
the article contains direct tip to
thoughtful farmers Of this part of the
state. Mr.. McLennan says:
"T now maintain herd Of 4S pure
bred Holstein cattle and six horses on
Sc acres, and produce not one dollars
worth of feed except a small amount

Next year l propose to increase
my herd to so and expect to raise
plenty to feed all. The only products
sold from the farm are milk, stock
and potatoes; of the latter have usu-
ally from 800 to 500 bushels to sell,
and | have sold S2SOO worth of pure
bred stock since october l, 1907. My
milk brings me about 500 per month,
besides feeding whole milk to every
calf born for at least six months.
"of course this system of farming
eliminates all pasturage and requires
two, and sometimes three crops from
the same land each season. The al
falfa, Of course, produces three crops
and we generally manage to get two

BATTLE-G GROUND.

Evil and Good and Love and Hate
And all the hosts they wrestle for
Forward and back and early and late
They wage their Immemorial war;
With waste and wrath and woe pur-
suing
Like hard masters, greedy OF toll,
Across the ancient battle-ground,
Which is, alas! the human soul.
And sometimes, in a quick despair,
Half-welcoming the alien power
The bright fields darken. dulls the
air,
And the old enemy takes his hour.
But oh. the joy-the Joy Of the time
When Love comes back and brings
the day,
Sweet winds, promise OF grain and
blooms
Where late the storm-scarred
meadows lay.

HOW TO SEED ALFALFA.

There are three sure conditions to
successful stand and crop of alfalfa.
One of them is preparatory crop Of
COW peas, another is preparatory
crop of sweet clover, and the other is
a nurse crop of rape from seeding
of about one pound Of rape per acre
sown broadcast after the alflafa seed
ing. The latter never fails to bring
good stand. The preparatory crops
mentioned furnish the perfect innocu-
lation of the soil on which practical

WHAT THE PEOPLE DID.

Twelve laws and constitutional
amendments enacted by the people
at the election June l, have been in
effect since Tuesday, June %, when
Governor Chamberlain issued a proc
lamation declaring them to be a part
Of the laws of the state.
Taking them in the order that
they were promulgated by the secre-
tary of state, it will be seen that the
time for holding the general elections
will be on the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in November, instead of
the first Monday in June.
Consequently the next general cleo
ton will be held in November of 1910.
By reason of this change primary
elections for the nomination of state
and county officers will in the future
be held in September, the primary
law fixing the time for holding the
primaries at the 45th day before any
general election.
By virtue of the same vote or the
people the University of oregon is
safe in its appropriation of S125,00O
for 1907 and OF the same amount for
each year thereafter.
1t is now possible for all public
officials who are not doing their
duty under the law and custom to
be recalled by the voters who are dis
gruntled over their failure to fulfill
the oaths taken. Public interest is
on edge waiting to see which part Of
the state the recall will strike first.
The statute instructing the men,
bers of the legislature to vote for
that United States senatorial candl-
date who receives the highest num-
ber Of votes at the general election
is also a law. 1t will not be binding
upon the members of the legislature
elected in June.
The corrupt practice act is now a
law and from this time on it is lille
gal to offer a cigar to prospective
voters and political supporters. In
fact, it is illegal to do anything ex-
cept silently cast ballot in the box
or at least nearly as close drawn
condition as that.
Hereafter campaigns are to be
conducted through the secretary of
state and state printer so far as ad-
vertising is concerned. The state
printer is to make pamphlets putting
forth the claims Of the various can
didates as to why they should be
elected. The cost of pamphlets is to
be borne by candidates who are to
pay from $50 to 800 a page for their
space.
The secretary of state will mail the
pamphlets to the registered voters a
few days before the primaries and
another set shortly before the gen.
eral election.
Grand juries have come back to
the people Of the state and the dis
trict attorney Of any district is not
empowered. to sit as grand jury
from this time on. All indictments
are now to be returned by juries and
the filing of information on the COM
plaint Of the district attorney is n
thing of the past.
Hood River county is in good
working order and is running under
the administration of set of Off
cials appointed by the governor not
long ago.

Boston.-An Injunction restraining
Nellie V. Allen from talking to him
was secured by Edward Riley, a we'll
known Boston lawyer.
In asking for the court order Riley
explained that three months ago he
ran his automobile into Miss Allen,
knocking out most of her teeth. He
says he paid her damages and got her
a set of false teeth.
Since then she has been complain
ing that the teeth were not satisfac-
tory and has sought every occasion
to tell him so. For a month or so she
made daily visits to his office. Then
she added visit to his home in the
evening. He stood that, but when dur
ing the last month she made a prac-
tfce of stopping him every time she
saw him on the street, demanding
new set of teeth, he thought it time

FIGHT DUEL WITH CANES.
Students Discard Deadly Weapons and
Adopt Innovation.

LISA, Posen. - Fifteen minutes
slashing with cane was the limit Of
endurance of one of the antagonists
in the newest form Of students duel,
which has just occurred outside this
city, where it has been decided among
the students of the technical high
school to dispense in the future with
the deadly weapons for the decision Of
affairs of honor.
The students met at a chosen spot,
where seconds marked out a ring
The antagonists then stripped to the
waist, each was handed a cane Of
equal length, and they then stepped
into the ring. At the word Of CON-
mand of the director of the combat
they began slashing furiously until
finally, after quarter of an hour, one
of them overstepped the limits Of the
ring. He was thereupon declared to
be the loser, but to the onlookers it
was difficult to decide which of the op-
ponents had suffered most, as their
ribs, arms and backs presented the ap-
pearance Of having been f1ayed.
In the university circles, where
duels with swords have hitherto been
the only recognized custom for stu
dents duels, opinion is greatly exer-
c1sed over the attempted innovation.
