THE most marvellous photograph
ever made, showing 500 different
views of President Roosevelt
assembled in one big picture,
forms the double-page feature of
the June Woman's Home Com
panlon. These hundreds of

every state and territory in the
Union, show our strenuous presi-
dent in all periods of his public

1t was the seventeenth Of June
And great was the convention
The vote was coming pretty soon,
And thrilling was the tension.

And some there were went daft
When a U. S. marshal showed his head
Out in the seething mass and said:
Count 90 for raft!'
The Cannon men turned pale as ghosts,
And the Hughes men gasped for
breath
The men for Fairbanks chung to posts
AS colorless as death,
"Askansas !" the clerk exclaimed,
And the hall shook fore and aft
When a spry postmaster, white Of hair,
Hoped to the main deck of his chair
And cried. Eighteen for Taft!"
The Fairbanks men exuded groans
And the Cannon men shed tears
And the Hughes men uttered none but
means
That once had uttered cheers

And the whole convention laughed
When q rsyenpe collector rose
And whistled shriliy through his nose,
Count 20 more for Taft"

one can imagine the difficulties
which confront a traveller in Tibet
when he thinks of the immensity of
the country. exceeding 100000 square

for the most part, these people sup

Lhassa are said to contain the stored

DON'T NEED A JUTE MILL.

If the farmers OF oregon will unite
and stay united for mutual benefits,
there will be no need of a state jute
mill at the Oregon penitentiary to
make cheaper sacks.
The union of the farmers and their
determination to stand together
through "thick and thin" will break
up any trust in>the country. But the
farmers must stand together. The
success of their movement for cheap
er sacks depends upon the persist
ence with which they stick to their
organization and observe its laws.
II the farmers can break up the
sack trust by organizing and asking
for bids that is a cheap and satisfac-
tory solution of the high sack prices,
1t beats a jute mill all to pieces. 1t
requires no legislation, no expendi-
ture of state funds in a costly plant.
no heavy expense of maintenance,
nothing but a plain agreement to
stick together. That is an inexpen-
sive remedy for the wheat sack ex-
tortion and the farmers should keep
their organization foremost in their
minds.
The sheepmen have won by organ
ization. The farmers can do the
same.
The sheepmen are enjoying cheaper
sacks, cheaper salt, cheaper trans
portation rates. higher prices and
better returns from their industry,
and unity is the key to the highly
successful issue of their efforts.
The competitive bid system will
bust" any trust in the world If per-
sisted in from year to year. 1t beats
jute mill, for cheap sacks.

RED LIPS \ FAD.

The Parisians are so determined to
have cherry lips that they redden
their lips and make no secret of it.
They use vegetable preparations that
are not poisonous.
For some who object to artif cial
reddening there are other ways of
making the lips red. When one is
out calling or shopping it is only
necessary to touch them with the
teeth to make them red. Do not bite
the lips. but merely press them
against the teeth, or the lips can be
moistened and firmly pressed togeth-
er. This will make them glow pret-
tiy.
Actresses apply to the lips at n ght
q lotion of glycerine and rose water
half and half, and then paint them
with a little soft brush until they are
soft and red. In the morning the
lips are rosy looking.-Ex.

WE DON'T APPRECIATE.

The people of eastern Oregon do
not appreciate what the erection of
the SS,500,0O0 packing plant at Port
land means for this section Of the
state. Neither do they appreciate
what the completion of the s1.100,-
coo government irrigation project in
Umatilla county means for the state.
The Portland packing plant will
convert eastern oregon into the feed
ing grounds for the orient and Alas
ka. 1t will place feeding pens on
every irrigated farm in the inland
empire and will load Umatilla coun-
ty products for every port in the
world
The Umati,la irrigation project will
give homes to from 10000 to 10000
people in time and will convert that
sagebrush waste into productive
garden spot, yielding immense stores
OF all kinds Of crops.
The packing plant in Portland will
supplement the settlement OF the ir.
rgatiou project by giving the farm
ors on that project new markets for
their products, by making it possible
TO feed and market all kinds of live
stock at excellent prices and by max
ing their land more valuable by rea-
son OF these wider possibilities, these
new avenues Of trade and industry.
With these two new possibilities
ahead Of eastern Oregon: with the
Portland packing plant and the Una
G!la irrigation project alone, as in
cucements for settlement, this coun-
Is and eastern oregon should re-
ce;ve thousands Of new settlers this
year
We don't appreciate what these
mean to the state.

CEMETERY AND PARK.

There are two vexing problems for
the new city council and the people
to wrestle with during the next two
years-the improvement of Olney
cemetery and the conversion OF the
old cemetery north Of the river into
a public park.
Both questions have been before
the public for many years and now
that the more vital street improve
ments and other equally important
matters have been satisfactorily set
tied, let the council get at the bot
tom Of these matters and begin their
solution.
The old cemetery is more of an
eyesore now than ever, because Of
the continued improvement of the
north side of the river. 1t stands out
more ghastly and repulsive than ever,
when compared to the excellent pro-
gress beng made in that delightful
residence district. There is a genu-
inc and insistent demand that some
thing be done with 1t. A public park
is the best and most satisfactory So
luton 1t seems.
And the very desolation OF Olney
cemetery in its present condition,
cries out to the prosperous city of
Pendleton for improvement.

all three of them do not they ought
to.
They are constituted guardians of
the law. If it is not their business to
apply the law, whose is it? 1t is not
the business of the merchant in his
counting-room, nor of the mechanic
in his shop. The tradesmen cannot
leave his business to hunt up evidence
of infraction of the law. Our system
contemplates no such nonsense.
District attorneys and sheriffs are
paid by the public, and if 1t is not to
promote the sovereignty of the law,
what is it for? If that is not their
duty, laws should 6e passed to make
II their duty. If citizens must see
that the law is applied, what is the
need OF officers?
