JUBAL AND TUBAL CAIN.

Jubal sang of the wrath of Cod
And the curse of thistle and thorn
But Tubal got him a pointed rod
And scrambled the earth for corn.
Old-old as that earthly mold
Young as the sprouting grain
Yearly green is the strife between
Jubal and Tubal Cain
Jubal sang of the new-found sea,
And the soul its waves divide
But Tubal followed a fallen tree
And passed TO the farther side.
Black-black as the hurricane
wrack,
Salt as the under-main-
Bitter and cold is that hate they
hold
Jubal and Tubal Cain!
Jubal sang Of the golden years
When wars and wounds shall cease
But Tubal fashioned the hand-flung
spears
And showed his neighbors peace.
New-new as the Nine Point Two
Older than Lamech's slain
Roaring and loud is the feud
avowed.
Twix' Jubal and Tubal Cain
Jubal sang of the cliffs that bar
And the peaks that none may
crown
And there he builded n town.
High-high as the passes lie.
Low as the culverts drain
Wherever they be they never
agree
Jubal and Tubal CAIN

and Harney counties are the only
counties lying closer to Baker City
than to Pendleton. Union and Wal
Iowa counties are equally distant
from each city.
Then Pendleton is closer to Salem
than is Baker City by 1876 miles, This,
too, is an important consideration,
for by the nature of things there will
be much travel between the branch
asylum and the main institution at the
capital.
From a standpoint of economy to
the state there is simply no COM
parison between the merits of Baker
City and of Pendleton as sites for the
proposed branch asylum. Pendleton
is clearly the logical place for the in
stitution and it would be the height
OF business folly to locate the asylum
at Baker City or at any other point
east Of the Blue mountains.
But aside from its geographical po-
sition, Pendleton has other advan-
tageS. 1t has paved streets and a
thorough sewer system that insures
the health of the city Its climate is
moderate. The city has hotel facili-
ties second only to those of Portland.
1t has II passenger trains in and out
of the city every day. furnishing con-
nections with two transcontinental
lines and with three branch railway
lines.
If a branch asylum is established
for eastern oregon and it is located
according to merit it will be located
in Pendleton.

THE LOGICAL PLACE.

that Is very timely in view Of the

location Of the proposed branch asy-
lum

IT Is BUT JUST.

For the pledge to raise the coun-
ty school levy next year the county
court is deserving of commentator.
Those who have investigated the
subject realize that at present the ex-
pense Of maintaining the schools of
the county is unjustly distributed,
Because the special dctrict levies
have already been made this year the
court considered it best to wait until
next year before raising the county
levy.
When the district levies are voted
next winter, allowance may be made
for an increased county levy and as
a result the district levles may be
lowered. This will relieve the bur
den carried by town property owners
and will shift more Of the load TO the
owners Of farm property. The lat
ter are able to bear 1t and it is but
right that they should do 50.

AS EXPECTED.

1t was to be expected that during
this week some final efforts would be
made towards defeating the election
OF Governor Chamberlain. With
anti-statement men as president of
the senate and speaker of the house
it is only natural that some of the
corruptionists are taking advantage
Of the situation to make a last des-
perate attempt to break the state
ment phalanx
The story is now circulated that the
anti Chamberlain sack is almost
openly displayed in Salem and that
an effort is on foot to force the gov
ernor to resign his present office at
once If chosen senator.
For the man with the sack, if there
really be such a parsonage. and for
any statement man falling before the
glitter of his gold, there should be a
good big ball and chain. Oregon mas
had enough of such business in the
past. Let US have no more Of it.
Nor have statement members any
right to demand that the governor re-
sign his present post before taking
the senatorship. They pledged them
selves to vote for him for senator. 1t
is not for them to demand that he
resign or tie himself up in any man.
ner Their agreement was with the
people of the state and the pledges
they took are irrevocable.
If the statement legislators want to
sustain their good regulations and the
honor of the state let them fulfill
their pledges promptly and without
quibbling.

HIDDEN DANGERS.
Nature Gives Timely Warnings
That No Butler Citizen Can
Afford to Ignore.

DANGER SIGNAL NO. 1 comes
from the kidney secretions. They
will warn you when the kidneys are

a thin, pale and foamy, or thick,
red, illsmelling urine, full of sedi-
ment and irregular of passage.
DANGER SIGNAL NO. 2 comes
from the back. Back pains, dull and
heavy, or sharp and acute, tell you of
sick kidneys and warn you of the ap-
proach of dropsy, diabetes and

talk from the gods Of the machine,
about insurgents who have ''been

torial expressions will serve to show
that the insurgents have public opin-

DRAMATIC DEATH
OF EXPLORERS.
One Member of a German Party
Swan a Mile to Escape But
Was Captured.

Berlin, October. dramatic mar
rative Of the killing of Messrs. Brun-
huber and Schmidt, the leaders of a
German exploring expedition in China
near the Burmese frontier some
months ago, is published by the Al
legemeine Wissenschaftlichen Be-
niche in a letter from Missionary G.
Monbeig, which has been transmitted
through the British consul at Teng-
yueh.
The two scientists had pitched
their tents on the bank of the river
Salwin. Schmidt was asleep and
Brunhuber was writing at a table
when one of their Chinese servants
ran into the tent saying the men
from the neighboring villages were
advancing to attack them.
Brunhuber replied that as he had
done nothing to the villagers there
was no danger, and he gave the SER
wants presents to distribute to the vii
layers. He then resumed writing.
The servant wanted to take gun,
but Brunhuber replied that his mis-
sion was a peaceful one, and that a
weapon was inappropriate. While
he continued to write, some OF the
natives threw back the flap OF the
tent.
Brunhuber rose and as he did so, a
lance struck him in the breast and he
also received several sabre cuts. He
ran out of the tent, jumped into the
river, swan nearly a mile down the
stream, and landed in an exhausted
condition on a sand bank. Schmidt
was killed while he was sleeping.
The natives found Brunhuber the
following morning, stripped him of
his clothing, flung him in the stream,
and disappeared.

GREAT is THE HEN.
Experiments at the X. S. A. c.
Showed Profits of $1.87 a
Hen in Eight Months.

Manhattan, Kansas, Oct. 1.-THE
heavy laying capacity and large profit
in hens is a much debated question.
The poultry department of the agri-
cultural college keeps close tab on
the cost of feeding and the number Of
eggs produced by each hen.
Two pens of pullets were selected
with the idea Of heavy egg produc-
ton. One of these contains White
Leghorns and the other White Ply
mouth Rocks. These two pens were
selected from the young stock raised
in 1903, and no one had the least
knowledge as to the breeding of the
parents, their originality, or their egg
records. Some months ago a state
ment was given out concerning the
egg production Of a White Plymouth
Rock pullet, No. 129. This fowl laid
forty-eight eggs in succession with
out missing a day. This same hen
produced TIA eggs between February
1 and October /, and is still laying.
No. 129 has companion, No. 1856,
which has laid 1871 eggs in the same
length of time, and still keeps it up.
This is at the rate of three-fourths Of
an egg a day, or 30 year. Both Of
these hens are noting and laying al
the same time. In this same pen arr
nine other hens that in the last eigh'
months have put into the egg basket
1889 eggs, or an average Of more
than 1855 eggs each.
The total cost Of feed, with grain a
the prevailing high prices, was $8.8l
or approximately ten cents a mont
for each fowl The eggs brough
$26.56, leaving profit, over the cos
of feed, Of SITS, or sl.6i a hen TO
the eight months.
In the pen Of nineteen White Leg
horns there is not found as high al

They Never Saw Live Hog.

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct.-Inquiry
following a humorous incident shows
that nearly 200 girls in various Kan
sas City high schools have never seen
a live hog.
1t has been related that a high
school girl recently went to the coun-
fry, and seeing a pig run across the
yard, asked what kind Of animal it
was. On receiving the information
that the scampering beast was a pig,
she claimed: why, it has hair.
This led to an inquiry on the sub
ject and canvass of all the high
school girls in Kansas City showed
that some 200 manageable girls Of
the second largest live stock market
city in the world had never seen q
live member Of the pofcine family.

The Dik-Dik.


Freeman Tilden in Van Norden Magazine.
Among the skulls and skins of ami
mails which Mr.. Roosevelt has already
sent to the Smithsonian Institution is
the remains of a dik-dik, shot by the
Colonel himself. There are plenty OF
other animals, impallas, warthogs,
duikars, Glands and hartbeests-and
we care not. But we are surprised
at Colonel Roosevelt for shooting a
dik-dik.
If we had a dik-dik we should
cherish it with all our heart. Moth
ing could indulge us to part with it.
Our first waking minutes would see
us reaching out our hands to see that
our dik-dik was still there. It would
be the companion of our children's
childhood; aye, and did it survive,
the child God Of our children's chill
dren.
Good heavens! suppose this is the
last dik-dik, which is coming home in
a boned condition from the camp Of
mighty Theo! Not impossible. Some
smart Aleck probably punctured, in
spirit of fun, the last dodo--the bird
with the knockout punch. The dode
gone and now the dik-dik! Moth
ing remains but the bim-bim and the
pog-pog.

FARM BURROWS.

in again. Hog raising, like every
thing else, has its ups and downs.
A few hours work with a steady
team and a road scraper will save
dollars worth of manure and leave
the barnyard in dandy shape for the
winter chores.
One of my neighbors proved him
self true philosopher the other
night when he argued in this manner:
ut isn't only the farmer that pays
the tax on mud. The city man who
thinks he is buying eggs is also buy
ing mud. Mud puts its price upon
our bread, our meat and our fuel"
Do you doubt it?
Where there is still plenty of ma
tive burr oak timber growing the
farmers do not know what the fence
post problem is, but the prairie farm
err is not so fortunate.
In homes where the children al
ways like to spend their spare time
elsewhere, the parents should take
day off to think and see if they can
tell why. There is reason"
AS a general rule, I've noticed that
the farmer who runs up the most
bills is generally run down by the
most people.
The more than usual number of
wormy apples this season is re-
hinder that we must spray the trees
thoroughly in the spring in order to
have clean fruit in the fall.
Owing to the high prices of poul-
try it looks as though it will be nec-
essary to put a combination lock with
a shotgun attachment on the hen
house door this fall.
About the first indication we have
of the coming winter is that we must
hunt up the old lantern to help light
us on our way while finishing up the
evening chores.
Automobiles are being used in the
West to carry hunting parties, for
weeks at time. They are fitted up
with sleeping berths and carry the
provisions packed in chests in the
body of the car. The automobile is
rapidly becoming so useful in various
ways that even poor man can't at
ford to be without it.
What proportion Of an egg, by
weight, is composed of shell, and
what is the relative weight of the
yolk and white? In order to save
you the trouble Of weighing one to
find out, | will tell you. The shell
comprises about one-tenth of the
weight Of the egg, the yolk one-third
of the whole weight of the egg and
the white, of course, makes up the
balance.
Fall blowing that IS well done cuts
the labor Of preparing the seed bed
next spring-cuts it squarely in two
in my opinion.
There is one law of nature that
plays havoc with the process. of ami.
NAL and plant breeding, namely the
law of variation. The Illinois expert
ment station planted some Leaning
corn in 1905, the seed of which was
taken from ears exactly ten inches
long. A random sample taken from
the crop harvested consisted of 32i
ears and of this number only thirty
eight ears were ten inches long. Tit
law of variation resulted in the pro
duction Of ears ranging in length
from three to twelve inches.
An authority, who is regarded a
reliable, says that the wool in so
called all-wool suit of mems clothe

Even after ii is manufactured int,

cost from $18 to $23. So someon
