ing the town adopt progressive
habits.
When gambling was closed many
old residents declared that the town
would die because a few small cot
tages were vacated and gambling
hall was closed up. Then when
street paving was proposed these
same old fellows were sure that the
limit had been reached and tina,
death was at the door of the town.
But street paving came and business
increased New settlers flocked in,
the resources of the country were
developed and the country hummed
with activity,
One by one the old pioneers who
had made fortunes in the town and
vicinity moved away, predicting ruin,
but new blood rushed in to fill the
vacant places and within two years
after gambling had been closed the
town had increased in population
about 1000 in spite of the fact that
it is located in an old settled coun-
try.
New blood is now running this
Texas town and it is a hummer,
1t has paving. city hail, water sys-
TEN. sewers, good schools and good
roads leading to it from every direc-
ton and above all is a moral, decent,
high-class town.
When men get on a higher level
and look at the world in a more OPP
timistic light, they wonder how they
could have tolerated the old things
which they have discarded. Build
ing town is just like building a
home. 1t can be pleasant and at
tractive and beautiful or it can be
the opposite, just as its builders de-
eide.

WHEN WILL THE PANIC CEASE?

The Boise Capital News, which Is
published in one Of best cities in the
west, complains that the panic has
not ceased to trouble the country,
and lays the blame at the doors Of
the big banking institutions Of New
York. The Boise paper says:
People are trying to figure out
just when the depression naturally
following the recent panic will cease.
The country has been congratulate
ed because so much gold has been
shipped from Europe-some $780,
O0O,00 Of it. But that gold will have
to be returned to Europe, or nearly
all OF it, again. 1t was brought here
at a wonderful expense during a fl
nancial stress that made 1t essential
to bear the burden. The New York
banks had to have 1t or go to the
wall.
How is that money going to get
back? Where is 1t coming from?
New York got it. but New York
won't pay 1t back. The west and the

NEW MEXICO SHEEP OUTLOOK.

Five million eight hundred thous-
and sheep and lambs were dipped at
the first dipping last year. according
to an approximate estimate made
yesterday at the local offices of the
bureau of animal industry, says the
Albuquerque Morning Journal.
This is a conservative estimate and
brings to light the fact that New
Mexico has over million more sheep
than it has been credited with and
also forecasts the possibility that
New Mexico may, within the next few
years. be the greatest sheep raising
and wool growing state or territory
in the Union. The last few years
have been banner ones for the sheep
men of New Mexico, and If present
indications are not deceptive, yet
greater things may be expected Of
this industry.
A prominent sheepman, well post
ed on local conditions, when asked
yesterday to give an estimate of the
probable wool crop for the coming
year replied: at is hardly possible
to give very close estimate at this
time. as the sheep buyers from other
states and territories have not as yet
commenced to ship out sheep for
winter feeding, but leaving a large
margin for such shipments, in the
spring, New Mexico should have over
100000 sheep with an average Of
five pounds of wool, or over, to each
animal.
This will amount to about 2O,OOO.-
600 pounds of wool, taking into ac-
count the decrease on account OF
shrinkage, etc. on account of con-
ditions in the east, | am little afraid
that prices will be somewhat low this
season, sbut taking into consideration
the fact that the sheepmen have en-
ioyed very prosperous times the past
few years. we have not much cause
for complaint. However the wool
market is to a certain extent, just like
copper or any other staple product
prices are continually fluctuating and
it may be possible that wool will he
away up next spring"

CENSURE SEEMS ILL-TLNIED.

The East oregonlan believes that
the censure directed against the
president and his forest reserve and
range policy by the sheepmen is ex-
tremely ill-timed and unfortunate.
The sheepmen are now enjoying
an extremely high tariff against the
honest sentiment of many leading
statesmen and politicians and
through this high tariff are reaping
extraordinary profits from their bus
iness.
Not satisfied with this, they now
seek to overthrow the forestry sys-
tenn by which the timber is to be
saved for the future and by which
water sources are also to be preserv-
ed for irrigation and stock purposes
simply because restrictions are plac-
ed upon the range.
The sheepmen cannot afford to be
against everything which may not be
strictly in their favor. In country
with multiplicity of interests there
must be some sacrifice on part Of
every individual
The farmers and the irrigationists
need water and timber and these
must be husbanded for the future.
The government must take control
and use drastic measures to preserve
these natural resources Of the coun-
try, as past experience in the range
and timber states has proved tnat
both timber and range land disap-
pear with a startling rapidity where
there is no restriction. The large
corporations have but little interest
in the future of the country and exer-
else but scanty benevolence toward
the masses Of the people when 1t
comes TO making money 1ast'
The administration Of the forestry
and range rules may be unsatisfac-
tory in certain instances. But this
Is not the fault OF the policy These
petty wrongs will be remedied as
the details Of the policy are worked
out
The great central idea OF the for
est reserves, namely the conservation
Of the water sources and timber sup
ply, should be kept foremost in the
mind OF every patriotic citizen. The
little pin pricks of the local admins
tration are as nothing compared to
the importance Of the great scheme,
Itself.

THE PROTEST.

Spake to me out of the Silence three
lone ghosts from the grave
Three that hover near me and mortal
companions crave.
One was a strong mans spirit. taken
away in his prime
Crying a bitter protest that he died
before his time:
Left with his Work unfinished' laid
down his tools at noon;
Quilted his glorious Plans of Life all
too soon. too soon;
Now does he wait and linger close to
earth's dear ways,
Longing to come from the, Spirit-Land
to finish his need of days.
Close to the earth's warm bosom he
presses his ghostly feet;
Close to the tasks that he loved in
Life; close to the old retreat.
Half of his life was lived on Earth
and half in the sloth of Death
All, how the strong mans spirit
pleadeth for mortal breath!
Only to finish the work of his hands
as the daylight dies in the West
Then he could go to the grave con-
tent-go to the grave and rest!
And one was a mothers spirit, a
mother who died unknown
And left in the clasp of her lifeless
arms, babe. alive and alone.
Close, close to the earth she presses
and peers through the opening
dawn,
As year by year, in the morn OF
life, he wanders on and on.
She leans DER his path in pity; she
clings to his hand unseen
And ever and ever she thrusts her.
self her child and the Foe be-
tweenl
All. what were the ways of glory she
might have carved for his feet
Had she but wrought to the end of
her Plan, till the temple was COM
plete!
And this is an infants spirit, that
died on the day it was born;
1t opened its eyes but once on the
light and closed them in early
morn
And o, how it yearns for the paths
of the world, the paths that
cleaned e'er it died
The paths that beckoned Its eager
eyes, that brief space, far and widel
1t yearns for the opening Spring OF
Life, the bloom and the azure
sky
1t longs to taste the sweets of earth,
its dizziest heights to try!
Honor or shame or glory, poverty,
wealth or sin
All, had it finished its promised day,
what-what might its life have been
These three in the dusk beset me, as
I sat in the Silent Land
Their faces pressed to their prison
bars, lone spirits hand in handl

south will have to foot the bill. All
the banks of the country outside of
New York have been boasting about
the large surplus they had.
That looks like the west and south
had plenty of money and that in
dustry would proceed as usual But
1t doesn't work that way, and the
New York bankers have seen to it
that it doesn't,

SHERIFF SHUT OPENS BALL.

The ringing letter from Sheriff E.
NJ. Shut of Morrow county, printed
in the East Oregonian of yesterday,
favoring prohibition for all of Nor
row county, may be said to open the
campaign for prohibition in eastern
Oregon this year.
The Morrow county sheriff who
thus speaks fearlessly upon this i'm
portant topic perhaps represents the
solid sentiment of a large proportion
of the voters Of Morrow county and
the East oregonian is tempted to
predict that after next June that
county will be dry as a buffalo bone
on a South Dakota prairie.
That little quiet country communi-
ties like Lexington and lone should
be disturbed continually by disor-
ders and crimes caused solely by the
liquor traffic has set the people of
that excellent county to thinking Sc
riously and. E. NJ. Shut is spokesman
for a whole lot of voters who have
determined to remedy the matter.

ONLY ONE WAY TO GET RICH.

A little advertising circular of a
western irrigated district is entitled
Fifty Ways to Get Rich" and it
proceeds to name so industries which
may be followed in that particular
spot by which a man may become
rich, as the world calls it.
There is but one way to get rich,
and people may as well get at the
gist of the subject at once: that is to
get contentment.
The mere possession of material
wealth, Of dollars and cents. is not
being rich by any means. Some of
the richest men in the world, from
this standpoint, would give all the
gold they have accumulated, for a
contented and clear mind, hut with
fireplace and little woman whom
they might love and be honestly
loved by in return.
The social system Of the world
makes money absolutely necessary
and society has set up social stand
srd which is measured by dollars
and cents. But the essence of wealth
is not gold. It is contentment, hap
piness and serenity.
Priceless things, these, measured
ia the modern scale. but they con-
tain the key to longevity. to health,
to the very heaven which the soul
Of man Graves.

These are the gifts I ask
OF thee, Spirit serene:
Strength for the daily task,
Courage to face the road
Good cheer to help me bear the
travellers load,
And, for the hours of rest that come
between,
An inward joy in all things heard and
seen.
These are the things | prize
And hold of dearest worth:
Light of the sapphire skies,
Peace of the silent, hills,
Shelter of woods and comfort of the
grass,
Music Of birds. murmur of little rills,
Shadow of clouds that swiftly pass;
And after showers the smell of
flowers
And Of the good brown earth,
And. best of all, along the way,
friendship and mirth.
