CARCASSONNE.

Fair Carcassonne lies far away:
long have wished to journey there:
In youth l set apart a day,
\ splendid day, when l should fare
At leisure down through Angouleme
And haply tarry at Bardeaux,
Or view Montaubau's walls and dream
With Toulouse day or so,
An then, enraptured, travel on
To pause at last at Carcassonne.
They have advanced the price of meat,
The price of coal is very high;
The vegetables people eat
Get dearer as the years go by;
The stockings which the ladies wear
Cost more and more and always
more;
I've ceased to have a cent to spare.
They're taking what I've saved be-
fore;
Day after day l labor on
And never have seen Carcassonne.
l have to pay an awful price
For Willie's shoes and Daisies
hats;
1t costs us more and more for ice.
The rents keeps going up for flats;
Each suit of clothes l get appears
To cost more than the last one cost.
And back somewhere along the years
A sweet old dream 1 had is lost:
A hope that once was mine is gone
/ never shall see Carcassonne.

TROUBLE IN THE DANCE.

Feelin' mighty certain
I'd have my time an chance,
If l could take old Trouble
An whirl her in the dance.
Swing her fast around
To the fiddle's sound
Oh. she'd be in a hurry then
To leave the joyous ground!
But when the grim old lady
Hears music ringin' loud,
She hunts for pastures shady
An seeks a signing crowd,
She will not lose her frown,
Her grief she will not drown,
One joyous whirl would send her
Forever out o. town!
She cannot stand the racket;
She's got to go the way
Where the hollow winds are singin'
An the growlin' people stay:
Sad, that she to roam
Where drips no honeycomb;
Poor, jaded, ragged traveller
That never had home!

A moving shadow, and the picture

To call some scene to mind.

Bent low, bent lower:-still I did not

q shiftless individual would have
about as much show as would an Es-
kimo in a Brazilian coffee field Lazy
men never take up irrigated farming.
Perhaps the settlers under projects
should complete their payments with
in 10 years. But If they do they
should be allowed TO make graduated
payments. During the first few years,
while the land is producing but little
if anything, the payments should be
nominal. After the land has been
tanned and the orchards, vineyards
and fields are producing crops the
should be made heavier.
The system of requiring the same siz-
ed payment per acre each year for ten
years is not good one. 1t works a
decided hardship on settlers during
the first few years.
In concluding his speech at Spo-
kane the president declared the press
has contained some unfair and un-
founded differences regarding the at
dtude of the administration with res
poets to conservation. But the presi-
dent has taken such course as to
make criticism inevitable and if he
has been unjustly judged he is himself
chiefly at fault.

Irrerntahle Proo,.

AT the request of the gray haired

vigorous objection from the attorney
for Skeary, read his famous hypo-
thetical question.

siding Justice to the Eskimo.
"Gloob woogymik," said the wit

The judges looked at one another
and shook their heads sagely.
But if the conditions were revers-

"Nikvat,' replied the witness.
"Gagglegoop sassymuk doomlyip gin
glenit blookyboop.'
Again the justices looked at one
another. This time they smiled
sagaciously.
You still hold to this theory?" re-
marked the chief justice.
"Sassarip," cried the Eskimo, in
dignantly. "Sassarip. sassarip!

shook hands all around.

President Taft has delivered his
long expected conservation speech and
he said about what people expected
him to say. He declared his admin
istration is pledged to carry out the
pclicies of Roosevelt but that he does
not intend to do anything congress
does not give him authority to do. In
other words he will not do more than
the law requires towards aiding the
conservation movement, though he will
advise congress to enact some conser-
walton legislation.
Now this is not Roosevelt!sm. When
the ex-president saw that the inter-
est of the public was suffering he did
not bubble about his authority to act.
He stopped the mischief and looked
III the law afterwards. Then again
when Roosevelt spoke people were
seldom in doubt as to his meaning. he
was a man of positive ideas and usu-
allv spoke with force and clearness.
He did not uphold both sides of con-
troversy such as the one now on be-
tween Pinchot and Ballinger nor is 1t
on record that he ever submitted his
speeches to anyone for approval.
As to what President. Taft will do
with respect to conservation and irri-
CATION we know as little as we did be-
fore his speech. He renewed his pro-
fession of allegiance to the Roosevelt
policies but plainly showed he may
be weak in carrying them out He
will ask congress to pass a law pro-
viding for the development of water
mowers under such restrictions that
the public will be protected. But II
he asks for this in the same tone he
asked for downward revision Of the
tariff he will not get what the coun-
try fants. The power trust will have
vast influence with congress and will
block effective legislation unless the
president uses his influence vigorously.
Regarding irrigation Taft seems to
feel much as does Secretary Ballinger.
He manifests approval of the reclama-
tion work but shows no enthusiasm.
He had a yelled criticism Of the recla-
nation service for having gone too
FAST and hopes the blunder will not
be repeated. Under the former ad-
ministration it was no blunder to "go
fast" on the other hand government
employees were encouraged to "do
things"
The president does not want to see
an extension Of the payments to the
government for fear such course
would encourage a lack Of thrift and
industry" and hamper the government
in further irrigation work The pres
ident is evidently not familiar with

BUILD THE FACTORY.


The move to form company to
manufacture the Reynolds side hill
) harvester upon a large scale in this
city is one of the most meritorlous
propositions ever undertaken. 1t
should be carried through successfully
and win be if the farmers of the coun-
ty and local monied men but take
hold Of the matter with the proper
spirit.
Practical men declare the Rey-
nolds side hill combine is one of the
best machines made and that it can
be manufactured here and sold in
competition with the machines turn
ell out by the big harvester trust, one
Of the greatest monopolies in the
world. That the machine is a success
cannot be doubted because a half doz-
en- or more of them have been at work
for two seasons in the wheat fields
OF the county.
The greatest problems before the
manufacturers Of the Reynolds ma
chine are how to finance their under
taking and how to successfully cope
with the trust in the legal game. It
is the custom of the big thresher
manufacturers to claim a monopoly
OF everything in the shape of patents
on side hill harvesters. The trust
wants to discourage the manufacture
of harvesters by independent compa-
nies and generally brings injunction
proceedings against new companies,
even though their claims may be
without merit. But the owners of the
Pendleton iron works are sure of their
rights as to the Reynolds thresher
and will not be "bluffed out"
1t should not be difficult to finance
the thresher factory. Umatilla county
annually raises from three to six mil
lion dollars worth of wheat alone.
There are individual farmers in the
county who could finance the plant
and still have money left with which
to purchase an auto for each of his
children If the farmers of the county
are properly approached they will see
that the thresher factory does not fail
for lack of financial backing.
! The East Oregonian would like to
see the Reynolds thresher factory es-
tablished here for the reason that it
would be a valuable industry for the
city and the county. The men who
own the iron works and want to es-
tablish real factory should stay with
their task, now they have undertaken
it and should not quit until they nail
the flag of success to the masthead. To
do this they will have to work hard;
they will have to overcome the knocks
Of pessimistic doubters and the bluffs
and libels Of those who represent the
harvester trust. But they can do all
of this and win out if they will but stay
in the fight to the finish. There were
many who scoffed at the wooden mill
movement and said new mill would
never be built. But it was Duilt; it is
the best mill in the country and is be-
| ing operated successfully.
