will go down in history as the turn

assured Of honesty and cleanliness in
office. The civil service rules and

Just somebody's secret that somebody
gave
To somebody else on the way;
And somebody else, though she

Told somebody else. And today
That poor little secret, by silence

Is adrift on a turbulent sea,
And the high wind of scandal mas
tossed 1t around
Till a secret it's long ceased to le.
Suppose you were the one who first
passed it along,
It matters not why nor how,
But an innocent name had suffered
the wrong,
Would you be the happier now?

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; laxative which physi.
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
tornia 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 SIENNA is
given the preference by the Well
Informed. To get its beneficial effects
always buy the genulne-manufac-
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,
only, and for sale by all leading
druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

4 NEW ERA Is UPON US.

No matter whether Taft or Bryan
is elected president Of the United
States, a new political era is upon
us. The Roosevelt administration has
brought about an awakening of the
public conscience, a higher view OF
the duties Of citizenship, a clearer
understanding of the responsibilities
of the public official and hereafter
there will be no reign Of fraud and
high handed corruption as in the
past, no matter what party is in or
flee.
Fearless and clean handed, Theo-
dore Roosevelt set about to rid the
departments Of fraud and secret
grating and he had succeeded ad-
mirably. He has not stopped to ask
the political belief, lineage or history
of grafters, but has investigated them
fearlessly and II found guilty has
ousted them from the public service
without ceremony.
Never again will a political party
dare TO permit wholesale frauds In
government departments as in the

THE AMERICAN SHAME.

In John Barrett's commercial re-
view of the Republic of Panama in
his reports of the Bureau of Amerl-
can Republics, it is shown that DUR
ing the past year 1O4 vessels have
touched at Colon, Panama. Eighty
per cent of these were Norwegian
and the remainder English vessels.
Not an American vessel touched
at that port.
The fact is there are so few Amer
lean merchantmen that none of the
seaports Of the world show any num-
Der Of them on their registers. The
carrying trade Of American vessels is
shamefully small and from the ac-
tions Of such men as James j. Hill
and f. II. Hartman, who declare
they will sell their present lines
rather than obey the laws of the
united states tnlS lTdue VIII uNlI-
die to a smaller and smaller amount
each year.
If American shipping must be sub
sidlzed and paid a bonus by the
people, then it seems that the only
way is for American shipping to be
carried in foreign vessels. European
vessels can carry merchandise at a
profit. Why cannot the vessels Of
American companies?

The Farmers Wife

Is very carefl about her churn. She
scalds 1t thoroughly after using, and gives
It a sun bath 20 sweeten It, She knows
that if her ch I'm is sour it will taint the
butter that is iade In it. The stomach is
a churn. In he stomach and digestive
and nutritiye tracts are performed pro-
cesses which are almost exactly like the
churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that Il this stOmach-churn is foul it
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil Of a foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused By it, but the corruption Of
the pure current Of blood and the dissem-
ination Of disease throughout the body.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
1t does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the churn-absofutely
removes every talnting or cOrrupting eic-
ment. In this way it cures blotches,
pimples, eruptiOns, scrofulous swellings,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humors or diseases arising from bad blood.
II you have bitter, nasty, foul taste In
your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath,
are weak and easily tired, feel depressed
and despondent, have frequent headaches,
dizzy attacks, gnawlng or distress in stom-
ach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour
or bitter risings after eating and poor
appetite, these symptoms, or any consider
able number OF them, indicate that you are
suffering from biliOusness, torpid or lazy
liver with the usual accompanying indi-
gestion, or dyspepsia and their attendant
arrangements.
The best agents known to medical SCI
ence for the cure Of the above symptoms
and conditions, as attested by the writings
Of leading teachers and practitioners Of
all the several schools Of medical practice,
have been skillfully and harmonlously
combined in DR.. Plerce's Golden Medical
Discovery. That this Is absolutely true
will be readily proven to your satisfaction
II you will but mail postal card request
to DR.. X. v. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y, for a
free copy OF his booklet OF extracts from
the standard medical authorities, giving
the names Of all the ingredients entering
into his world-famed medicines and show
ing what the most eminent medical men
Of the age say Of them.

ART IN FRUIT GROWING.

Art is not confined to painting pic
lures, composing operas, designing
mansions and palaces. Art is not all
white shirt" work. Art is not a
winged thing, soaring in upper
realms Of thought and ideals.
But art creeps close to the ground.
1t finds its expression in the homll-
est things. 1t gives out its best ef-
forts in working miracles in common
callings. 1t clothes itself in peach
blossoms, the verdure Of alfalfa, the
rich deep green of the growing wheat,
the abounding foliage of archards
and vineyards.
Down in Jackson county near Med
ford pear orchard of 100 acres has
just been sold for $16O,OOO. The
man who planted, cultivated, devel-
oped and sold this orchard was no
less an artist than Rosa Bonheur
Millet. Beethoven or Paderewski.
Taking a small tract of land, not
one-fourth enough to satisfy a Una
tilla county wheat farmer, this artist
clothed it in beauty and productiVe>
ness to such an extent that he In
creased its value a thousand fold.
He made it the envy Of the world.
He called the attention Of the world
to this tract, by selling the highest
priced carload Of pears ever sold in

WHAT Is TO COME?

What is to come we know not; but
we know
That what has been was gdod-was
good to show,
Better to hide, and best of all to hear.
We are the masters of the days that
were.
We have lived, we have loved, we
have suffered-even so.
Shall we not take the ebb who had
the flow?
Life was our friend. Now, if it be
our foe,
Dear-though it spoil and break us
need we care
What is to come?
Let the great winds their worst and
widest blow,
Or the cold weather round us mellow
slow;
We have fulfilled ourselves, and we
can dare,
And we can conquer though we may
not share
In the rich quiet of the afterglow
That is to come.

THE EXILE.

I've laid aside Earth's broken toys
Ambitions, hopes and fears;
The things | could and did not do
And Disappointments tears.
| find my joy in simple things
God left outdoors for me;
The mountains filled with secrets old;
The prairie, like the sea;
The music of the mountain stream;
The quiet of the hills;
The winds that blow across the world;
The touch of Christ that thrills.
And here, high up, close to the stars,
The world seems far away;
| do not dream of 1t by night,
Nor think of 1t by day.
| do not know If this be Age,
Or whether life is spent;
But, by a mighty peace within,
know I've found Content.

Wheat land that was worth but $50
to $40 per acre between Freewater
and Walla Walla before the electric
line was completed, is now worth
from $3.50 to $500 per acre as resi-
dence and orchard tracts. Would not
the same increase in values come to
the land between Pendleton and
Weston and between Weston and
Freewater with an electric line?
Think what this would mean to the
property values Of the county aside
from the matchless conveniences OF
such a line.

OREGON'S BIG CROP.

Although not good soaking rain
has visited the inland empire wheat
belt this year, the grand total of the
wheat crop for the states of Oregon.
Washington and Idaho, is far above
the average for the past 10 years and
the amount of money received for
this years crop will be but $5,O0O,>
600 short of the income from last
years bumper crop.
According to E. w. Wright, the
statistician of the Portland Oregon
ian, the total crop for this year in the
three northwest states will be A.
O5O, 600 bushels while the average for
the past 10 years has been but A.
46S, 900 bushels and last years bump
ei crop only amounted to $4,000 900
bushels.
OF this total crop of 44,O5O,OOO
bushels for 1908, Oregon is credited
with 11,S5O,OOO, Umatilla county
leading all other counties with a
yield of S,75O,OO0. Washington
claims 2I95O,OOO with Whitman
county in the lead with $4,000 BUSH
els and Idaho claims 4,25O,OOO bush,
els.
Mr.. Wright has visited every coun-
ty and has personally inspected crops
and has personally consulted with
farmers and wheatbuyers and ship
pers and his figures are as near cor
rect, perhaps as it is possible to Sc
cure. He is a painstaking and in
dustrlous statisticlan and for a num-
ber of years has estimated the crops
of the northwest honestly and effic-
iently.
One of the features Of his report is
that Umatilla county produces more
wheat than the entire Willamette vail
ley district. While this county is
credited with 3,75O,OOO bushels this
year, the entire Willamette valley dis
trict raised but 2,75O,OOO bushels, or
a million bushels less than this BAN
per county of the state.
