appearance in our county of Hon.

candidate for the same place
in opposition to Mr.. Mays. Mr.
Griggs was a candidate for the
place two years ago in the three
cornered race between Mays,
Keboe and Griggs in which Mays
was the victor. During the cam.
paign Of that year Mr.. Griggs
visited our county and by his
genial personality won many
friends who still think highly
of him. He spent S vera
days last week in the county
visiting several parts of it. O

the race will be between Mays
and Griggs, it not being proba-

SPEED THE DAY.

In commenting upon the warm well
come the farmers of southern Ore
gon are giving the o. A C.-Southern
Pacific demonstration train the Ore
gonian has the following;
Fifteen hundred people at Gen.
trail Point and $500 at Medford to
greet the Southern Pacific demonstra-
ton train, is an example of the in
terest shown in these attempts on the
part of the railroad company to i'm
prove the conditions for the farmers.
The enthusiasm with which these
trains are received in the Willamette
valley is in strange contrast to the
naughty Indifference shown them by
the wheat barons in eastern Oregon,
who, having grown wealthy with a
minimum Of. effort in their farming
methods, are content to continue such
methods, regardless of the advantages
which are shown by the experts in
charge who accompany these demon
stration trains. The Willamette VAL
ley was once a wheat country, and at
that time its lands were no more val
liable than those of eastern Oregon
are today. Now, the valley farms are
worth so much money that it is un-
profitable to grow even dollar wheat
on them"
That there is much truth in this
charge must be admitted. Though
the demonstration train party was cor
daily received when it was here last
year, the big wheat farmers were no.
ticeable by their absence On the
part of these big ranchers there is a
disposition to treat with scorn the
suggestion that anything but wheat
may be raised on the rolling plains Of
this county.
That this spirit is detrimental to
the progress of the county the East
Oregonian has declared many times.
That crops other than wheat may be
raised with success and that it is not
necessary for a Umatilla county farm
er to own a section of land in order
to prosper, this paper firmly belleveA
Some day this contention will be
proven. 1t is merely question as to
whether the present generation of
farmers will take up the more ad-
vanced methods or whether the change
must be brougt about by the process
Of evolution. For one, the East Ore
gonian would like to see the process
hastened. Eastern Oregon is a coun-
try where the people do things with
out waiting for the hour glass to run
its course. When nature does not suit
they change the face Of nature. The
farmers Of the county. if they keep
pace with the rest Of their neighbors,
will try out these new methods OF
farming. They will not wait for their
grand children to take them up as did
the Willamette valley farmers.

WHO MUST NOT DRINK.

1t Is important to point out that
there are certain classes to whom al
cohol ought to be a forbidden thing:
All young and growing people-Dr.
Clouston, the Scotch alienist. con-
denim alcohol as bad for the growing
brain and attended by many future
risks; all persons with a predispo-
sition to mental and nervous diseases;
all persons who occupy responsible
positions, or in whose hands are the
life, safety, and happiness of others;
all persons who are engaged in very
delicate work, in which memory, at
tention and reasoning power ase
strained; all women who are about to
become mothers.
A moderate and sound judgment
on this matter is that recently offer
ed by DIR. C. w. Saleeby: There are
those who run no risk. because the
drug has no action upon them at all.
There are those who are predestined
to fall. These last include many of
the most valuable members of the
community, the most original, versa
tile, individuallzed, inventive, Great
ive-peope who have points of view,
parents of ideas, potential poets, mu-
sicians, enthusiasts, seers-the salt OF
the eearth, the makers of progress,
the neurotic people. who do the pio-
neer work Of the world" Some men
can be temperate in the use of alco-
hol; others must be total abstainers.

THE POWER OF MIND.

An old Southern darkey had suf-
fered for long time with a compli-
cation of diseases and had been
treated by several doctors of his own
race without success. Finally, on the
suggestion of friends. he called in a
white physician, who began his treat
ment by inserting a chemical ther-
mometer under the patients tongue.
While waiting for the instrument to
register the physician walked to the
window, where the first object That
struck his sight was a runaway horse
attached to a buggy in which were
seated a woman and little girl. Just
as the outfit passed the window, the
buggy overturned and botn occupants
were thrown out. The physicion
rushed out, and forgetting his dusky
patient placed the victims of the ac-
cident in his own carriage and drove
rapidly to his office, where, after re-
pairs lasting for two hours, they

WORK.
(By Thomas Carlvle.l }

(By Thomas Carlyle.)
Blessed is he who has found mis-
work; let him ask no otner blessed
ness. He has a work, a life purpose;
he has found it and will follow it!
How, as a free flowing channel, dug
and torn by nobler forces than the
sour mud-swamp of ones existence,
like an ever deepening river there, it
runs and flows; draining off sour, fes-
tering water gradually from the root
of the remotest grass-blade; making.
instead of pestilential swamp a green.
fruitful meadow. with its clear, flow
ing steam. How blessed for the mea-
dow itself, let the stream and its
value be great or small! Labor is
life; from the inmost heart of the
worker raises his God-glven force
the sacred, celestial life-essence
breathed into him by Almighty Col;
from his inmost heart awakens him
to all nobleness, to all knowledge,
"self-knowledge," and much else, so
soon as work fifty begins.

COME AND HELP.

At this time Umatilla county Is
just entering upon a period Of ad-
vancement such as it has never seen
before. In the west end thousands
Of acres Of arid land are being re-
claimed and settlers are wanted. In
other sections Of the county, notlceably
in the Pilot Rock country, much range
land IS being broken. Up in the east
end Of the county the land is daily
being brought under closer cultiva-
ton, thereby making an increase in
population possible. In the wheat
sections. such as the vicinity Of Pen
dleton. Athena, Weston and Helix, itI
is desired to break the big farms up
into smaller tracts, a Transformation
that is sure to come some day.

MALABON,

Ten years ago today the Second
oregon volunteers charged madly
through line after line of Filipino en-
trenchments around Malabon and
drove the insurgents back and away
from that little city. 1t was a proud
day for Oregon because the boys from
this state under the leadership of the
gallant Colonel Summers, were the
chief heroes of the fight. The regi-
ment had the critical position during
the battle and it did its duty so nobly
that foreign attaches who were with
the army lifted their hats in admira-
tion for the American volunteer.
In view of the part they played in
the engagement the local veterans OF
the Spanish war may well be pardon
ed If they take some pride in its re-
membrance. The people of Oregon
too, are proud of Malabon and of the
way their good regiment acted on that
occasion.

NEEDLESS.

There has been a lot of useless
clamor about hazing IN this state re-
Gently. 1t was brought about by the
misfortune of a Portland boy who
was "bath-tubbed" while he was at
tending the state university. But for
this incident there is no occasion
whatever for criticism of the univer-
sity or of its students. The inst'tu-
ton is as closely disciplined as any
in the country and the students are
as manly young men as are to be
found anywhere.
No one countenances hazing and of
actually brutal treatment of students
there is but little There should be
none. But for students to indulge in
pranks and to inflict petty punish
ment upon their err!ng fellows is as
natural as for small boy to shoot a
firecracker on the fourth of July
Students are human beings, they are
not manikins, By inflicting moder-
ate punishment upon students who
are too fresh or are otherwise obnox-
icus they often do good for the vic
tins themselves.
This is not written in defense on
hazing, but merely to prevent the
public from forming an exaggerated
idea of the practice as it obtains in
the schools of the state

Jueer Bits of History.

Skating, is believed to have been
invented in Northern Europe in pre-
historic times. William Fitz Stephen
speaks of 1t IN London toward the
end of the twelfth century; but it
really did not catch hold until the cav
alters who had been in exile with
Charles II brought it with them from
Holland. On December l, 1862, Pepys
having occasion to cross the park,
first in my life, it being a great frost,
did see people sliding with skates,
which is very pretty are" on Dec
ember Sth he went purposely to see
the sight and again found it Every
pretty" And on the 18th he went
with the Duke of York (James III
into the park. "Where though the
Ice was broken and dangerous, yet
he would go slide upon his skates,
which l did not like, but he slides
very well."-(Chicago News).
