UMATILLA, LAND
OF OPPORTUNITY
(By Harold Warner.)

Nowhere in this great golden west
is there state like Oregon, nor a
county more fruitful than Umatilla,
in opportunities for ambitious and en-
terprising young men.
1t is here that we measure our ma
tural resources, our crops and areas,
in numbers so large as to be almost
incomprehendable. The magnitude,
richness and vastness of it all is not
always apparent to the far easterner,
who calls a 10 acre patch a farm" 3"
and 20 bushels of wheat to the acre
good crop"
To say that l per cent of the wheat
of the entire United States is raised
annually in this county would cause
many to question your veracity, but
one glance at these large and beauti-
full fields of waving grain is in itself
enough to satisfy the most skeptical
that this is the garden spot of the
world for the cultivation of that ce-
real. No country equals this in fer
tility of soil, and in quantity and quail
ity of grain it is superior to all.
While it is true that wheat is
King" the fruit industry, although
still in its infancy, promises to add
to the glory of the county as has the
cultivation of cereals. The develop
ment of orchard land Is being partic-
ularly encouraged both by the gov
errment and private corporations,
who are spending annually large sums
of money in irrlgating and otherwise
preparing this land for horticultural
pursuits. There are now 10000 acres
of land under irrigation, over $4,000
acres of which are especially adapted
to the cultivation Of fruit.
But agriculture and horticulture
are by no means the only fields of in
dustry; the raising of cattle and sheep
is no small enterprise. The annual
wool clip exceeds 100000 pounds.
The many extensive tracts of land
suitable for grazing tend to encour-
age and promote the industry.
1t must not be thought that the

growing villages demand and need
the assistance Of the artisan and me-
chanic, the carpenter and manufac-
turer, the doctor and lawyer, and 9TH
er toilers and workers, who in their
particular field of endeavor, are so es-
sential to the development and pro-
gress Of a new city and country.
The young apprentice, college grad
uate or capitalist, who is desirous
and ambitious to make a name for
himself or become a factor in COM
munity, had best look no farther,
but start now and grow with a thriv-
ing country. The spheres of activ-
ity are wide and varied, the field for

Oct. 4.-The Oregon State High
School Debating league will begin its
third year this fall with brighter pros
poets Of success than at any previous
time in its history. Prof. e. e. De-

gang of counterfeiters in Philadel-
phia. He worked on the case three
weeks before he made his raid, single
handed He located the house in the
suburbs of Philadelphia where the
gang of three men were coming spu-
rious money One night when he saw
the trio leave for midnight luncheon
Sloan crept into the house and climbed
to the attic, where he remained with
out a morsel to eat or a wink of sleep
for 36 hours. He had in this time
bored a hole through the plaster cell
ing and watched the workings of the
counterfeiters below. At the oppor-
tune moment Sloan jumped up, drop
ped through the ceiling and with two
revolvers in his hands fell into the
room below in the midst Of the three
men at work, covered them before
the trio had recovered from surprise
he had them handcuffed, and won
renown and special commendation
from Chief John Wilkie, who never
forgets.
Three years ago President Theodore
Roosevelt called for an aide. Chief
Wilkie had "just the man." Sloan was
sent for and given the difficult task
of watching Roosevelt. This was hard
work. for Roosevelt was not an easy
man to watch. He did not like to be
under the constant guard of a secret
service man. He just fanted an aide
but it mattered little to plain James
Sloan what President Roosevelt liked
or disliked. Sloan had been assigned
to the job of watching Roosevelt and
that's what Sloan did. He arose with
the birds in the morning, tramped,
ran, swan brooks, rode down the Vir-
ginia roads within close range all the
time of the president, whether it was
4 o'clock in the morning or 10 o'clock
at night. Sloan, in other words,
made good"
He was so conscientious about his
work and so unassuming in accom-
plishing his task that Roosevelt and
Sloan became fast friends. When
President Roosevelt left office he
turned Sloan over to President Taft.
Sloan hasn't missed a day with the
president so far, at Washington. at
Beverly, Mass, or on the trip, and If
nothing happens Sloan will be with
Taft till 1912, at least
Next to Chief Wilkie, Sloan is the
highest salaried man in the secret ser
vice.-Spokane Spokesman Review.

"Who is that nice-looking man sit
ting in the front seat of President
Taft's carr" was only one of the
queries made by Spokane people as
President Taft's automobile passed
along the streets in the parade yes
terday.
This man, who caused no little Won
derment on the part of those who did
not know that a secret service man
always attends the president of the
United States, was none other than
plain James Sloan, formerly of Phila-
delphia, but now of Washington, D. c.
Sloan is a handsome chap, with
stole face, smooth shaven, always
ready for the drawing room, the thea
ter, the reviewing stand, or wherever
It may be that the president is called.
Sloan is always on hand. You simply
can't lose him. You saw him in the
parade yesterday morning, you saw
him in the reviewing stand, sitting al
most in arms reach of President Taft,
off whom he did not once take his
eyes, except to observe the crowd in
front Of the reviewing stand, closely
guarded and hemmed in by the regu-
lar army men.
Sits High Above Chauffeur.
Sloan was particularly conspicuous
in the parade as he sat high above
the chauffeur in President .Taft's car
Mr.. Sloan's piercing eyes told his
business. He is the righthand man Of
the president, appointed to this posi-
ton by Chief John Wilke, head Of the
United States secret secrive. And
Sloan has made good"
AS Sloan sat there, like the trained
army man, straight, with clear eye,
his right hand grasped a newly pat
ented seyen-shooter, the trigger OF
which was ready to be pulled at a
seconds notice should occasion re-
ouire. outside Of President Taft he was
the most important parsonage in the
parade-as the man who guards the
president.

has been made within a few years.

brought to the test many time with
in the last five years, and not once
has been found wanting. The conf
dence which President Taft puts in
his righthand man is proof that Sloan
carries his position with an air Of
dignity Sloan hates notoriety-
newspaper publicity - despises the
idea Of being photographed whenever
he turns around, but since he is de-
tailed to watch the greatest man in
the United States today he must abide
by the decision Of public acclaim, due

James Sloan was detailed to run down

TAFT GLADDENS
HEARTS OF CHILDREN

To the surprise of his military
guard, the escort, police and secret
service men who were guarding the
presidents person Thursday after
noon while he was coming from the
exposition in his automobile, Presi-
dent Taft ordered a halt when eight
small boys lined up by the roadside,
hats in hand. Few of the members
of the guard or escort had noticed
the diminuitive line and no attention
had been paid to them. But the
watchful eye of the president was
drawn to the row Of eager, upturned
faces
The lads had been playing football
in Washington park, keeping an eye
out for the official automobile. One
of them caught sight of it in the dis
tance, and at once the group of boys
stood in line, right in the pathway,
as they had been taught to do in the
flag drill at the public schools. At
the moment the president and his
party approached, they removed their
hats, gave the flag salute by placing
their hats against their left breasts,
and in unison exclaimed:
How do you do, President Taft?"
There was a rattle of musketry and
a wave of surprise ran through the
official escort, when Mr. Taft without
further ceremony, sprang lightly
from the automobile, walked over to
the line of enthusiastic young Ameri-
cans, and, with words of kindly
greeting, warmly shook each pudgy
little hand, and passed on, leaving
a bunch of blushing, trembling hap
piness in the ranks of the juvenile

Feeding Cattle Scarce.

Good quality feeding cattle are
as scarce among marketings at
all points at this time as they
were a few months ago. Those
who have well-bred young steers
evidently feel that they are worth
more at home, with a record corn
crop in course of growth, than
markets, says Drovers' Journal.
Feeder cattle buyers are con-
fronted with a situation which
possibly many had not anticipa-
ted. Those who did not stock
their pasturers with the relative
ly cheap steers available few
months ago, and who now come
to market looking for good quail
ity kinds, find that such grades
can only be bought by competing
with killers and paying killers
prices. 4 short time ago both
corn and feeding cattle were con
sidered too high in price. Afew
weeks hence the feeders may
not stop to consider corn values,
but may face amuch higher cost
fof feeding steers.

Eradicatins Sheep Scab.

The meeting of sheep breeders
at the fair grounds was the most
largely attended convention of
the week. The vital question
before the meeting was to devise
ways and means for eradicating
the scabbies from the sheep of
the State and of securing an ear
ly removal of the government
quarantine which now rests over
us.
There was some disposition
among some of the attendants Of
the meeting to air their views
about details at more length than
was profitable. Gov. Wilson cad
dressed the meeting, and while
modestly disclaiming any knowl-
edge of the sheep industry, he
pledged himself to cooperate
with breeders in an effort to
have the quarantine removed.
Addresses were also made by
w. T. Chiffon, Secretary of the
Sheep Breeders Association, Mr..
Mckee, Vice-President, ]. w.
Newman, Secretary Of the State
Fair, Senator Froman, DR.. Nc
Cormick and others.
At the conclusion of the dis
cussion a resolution was unani-
mously passed urging all sheep
men to dip their sheep and ap-
pointing a committee to draft a
bill to be presented to the next
Legislature which would make
our State laws conform to the
requirements of the National
government on the subject. We
will publish this resolution in full
next week. F. H. Journal.
