The democratic press has made much of the two BIZ elections for
in New York and Massachusetts, in which there a an
apparent victory for the democrats. We say apparent" for there
were local conditions that governed the result and not the tariff. In
Massachusetts a Republican ran IN a democratic ticket and a Dem
ocrat on the republican ticket. 1t was Plymouths time to have the
congressman but she was euchered out Of it, hence the APPARENT" de-
mocratic victory. In New York the Democrats nominated a perfect
y clean, capable man, while the Republicans put up a renegade and
one of unsavory reputation. So, in both cases, it was moi in mn
sense a question of the tariff, but one of local conditions.

Ancient Map Of the United States

Thru the kindness of c. F. Holck the Sun has been permitted to
inspect a map of the United States, printed in Germany in 1851. 1t
was purchased in Hamburg by Mr.. Hoick's father, who, with his
bride, were coming to America to make their home. They came all
of the way by water, via the Gulf of Mexico and by steamer, up the
Mississippi river, to Davenport la, where they started their life in
new world. The map was found among Mr. Hocks personal effects
and his o was given possession of it.
1t is very interesting to look over this map, which was a fairly ac
curate one, and note that the only line of railroad that Illinois pos
sessed at that time was less than 40 miles in length. and ran from
Chicago to Elgin. Indiana had a railroad of about 100 miles in
length, from indianapolis to Madison The eastern states were bet
ter supplied than the west at that time, trt the states of Kentucky
Virginia, South and North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Missis
Isppi, each had short stretches of road, while Tennessee, Louisiana
Arkansas, Missouri, Florida, Texas, Wisconsin Minnesota and Neb-
raske had, as yet. n railroad facilities.
The state of Nebraska at that time comprised all that is at pre-
sent included within its boundaries, and also both Dakotas. Montana
and Idaho The state of California included Nevada and Arizona,
and there was a territory at that time, occupying a portion of Arizona
and New Mexico, called Santa Fe. When we lay this map down be-
side n of the present day i hard to realize that such stupendu-
GUS changes have taken place in the past sixty years, and also to
think that the young German couple lived to SET these wonderful
improvements take place in the land of their adoption. The trip
over took sixteen weeks. 1t can be made at the present. time in sew
en- days. This, of ITSELF, is a comparison that will, in a measure,
show the wonderful progress the world is making. What changes
the next sixty years will bring about no man dares venture to pro-
phesy.

Canadian field peas or dry land al
falfa will but show the right degree
persistancy some good will result.
AT this time nothing could do east
ern Oregon more good than the de-
yelopment OF a crop that may be
raised alternately with wheat. An
annual crop is better than a biennial
crop. II through suggestions made
by the men upon the demonstration
train the farmers OF eastern Oregon
learn how to raise two crops where
trey now raise but one then the
demonstration party will be entitled
20 praise indeed.
Meanwhile why do not more farm
ers try the raising Of field peas and
dry land alfalfa? If some of the
most successful farmers would devote
even a small acreage to this purpose
Tor several years they might learn
something decidedly to their advantage
and 10 the advantage Of their neigh
Dors.

FULL ENUMERATION WANTED.

Census enumerators have been
named for eastern oregon and with
H. a short time they viii be busy tax
ing the enumeration. In some Sec
lions where population is sparse the
enumerators are to be paid per dieum,
but in " and cities the enumer-
ators will be paid in proportion to the
number Of people they enumerate.
This being the case some enumeration
may be disposed to hasten through
their work and take only those that
are easy to find" Any tendency Of
this sort should be rigidly checked.
A full enumeration should he taken
not only in Pendleton but in all other
sections of eastern Oregon. Many
things will depend upon the showing
of the coming census. Everybody
should aid the enumerators in every
way possible and incidentally see tina
the enumeration take a complete CEN

How valuable It is we can not ex-

theless, Of we apply a fairly ccura
! rule-of-thumb method worked out by
a great English statistician we must
conclude hat there are almost three
million people constantly sick in the
United States-three million people
sick every day of the three hundred
and sixty-five days. We lose an aver
age OF thirteen days a year in illness;
altogether we give up to illness one
thousand million days. Our sick-beds
would reach from Portland, Maine,
far into the Pacific, and would al

Of us are sick without knowing it.

well enough to do our best work or

The statistics regarding sickness
make a startling showing. But it is
safe to say that the percentage of sick
people in America is now less than
formerly. People are learning how
to live.

WHY DON'T MORE TRY 1T?

According to those who we're with
the farming demonstration train this
year they found many evidences to
the effect hat the advice given the
farmers two years ago Is being fol-
lowed. Here and there upon their
trip DR.. Withycombe and his corps
OF professors found a dry iand tract
devoted TO the raising OF Canadian
field peas or to alfalfa. 1t was a
pleasing sight for the professors.
In their lectures two years ago the
agricultural college men advised
farmers TO raise some leguminous
crops such as field peas or dry lane
alfalfa along with wheat. This be-
cause such crops rest the soil and re-
store nitrogen that is taken from the
soil by continual raising Of wheat and
because such crops improve the ply
steal condition Of the soil and make
Il more capable Of retaining mols-
ture.
or course wheat raisers are reluc-
tant about trying to raise leguminous
crops. They have become addicted
10 the wheat raising habit and find
Il hard to break away. This is es-
pecially true while the price Of wheat
IS high.
But the fact that some farmers are
trying out the suggestions made by
the men upon the demonstration train
raises hope. II shows that all u
wheat raisers are not disposed to re-
main entirely satisfied with present
methods. Some OF them want TO bet
ter their conditions and ARE willing
TO try out the suggestions made by
Or. withycombe and his men. Now

THE OLD DUFFER.

Luther Burbank, at a cactus dinner
that he recently gave in Santa Rosa.
said:
"As We all see, the fruit of the cac-
tus is not bad. Some people, though.
would turn from cactus with horror.
Tastes differ. one man. such as my
self, for Instance, finding a single wife
too many. remains unmarried. An
other nan like Cetewayo. finds a
thousand wives scarcely enough.
When Wolseley conquered Cete-
wayo, he took nearly all his wives
away from him. | believe he left the
monarch only a half dozen or there
abouts.
"Cetewayo, day after day. sent pite-
messages to Wolseley, pleading for
the rest of mis- wives. but the English
soldier refused sternly.
when Wolseley came to leave the
country, Cetewayo. in desperation,
sent this message to him:
If you viii not send me n more
wives, will you not, at least, be enough
of a gentleman to exchange the six I
have left for six others?"
