EZRA NIEEKER.

Sturdy old viking of the plains is
Ezra Meeker Few of his day and
age now remain. He is so years old
and those four score years have been
eventful years. He was born in Ohio
at day when the Dearborn massa-
ere was still fresh in the minds of
people. When but a boy his family
to Indiana, then to Iowa and
later to the northwest. Even now
while his hair is whitened and his
shoulders bent by the weight of years
the spirit of the old days is with him
still. He likes the road and his OK
team and it is his task to go back
over the old trail and see that it is
marked so that it will not become
ohliterated. He wants the world to
remember that in the early days men
did not come westward in standard
coaches. He wants to show that it
took men and women of nerve and
stamina to follow the Old Oregon
Trail. He has a pardonable pride in
the work that was done by the hardy
men Of the olden days. Who is there
that does not wish him well?

POETRY AND \ POET.

The literary editor was absorbed
in precious and uplifting thought
when the horse reporter trotted into
his sacred seclusion, says Llppencott's
magazine.
What would you say" inquired the
horse reporter after the lit. ed. had
been aroused to sublunary affairs. "if
a man sent you verse of poetry
that read like this?" and he lined off
Help us save free conscience from the
paw
OF hireling wolves whose gospel is
their nav.
The lit ed. burst into roars Of
laughter-real horse laughs they were
but the horse reporter stayed on
the track.
That's all right" he said: "but
what do you think of it?"
Did you write it?" hawhawed the
lit. ed. 1T sounds like several Of
yours | have had to decline. BY
Jose! old chap, you ought to stop try
ing to write poetry and stay with the
ponies. Why, it sounds like children
calling for their parents in dire dis
tress."
II didn't write it," the horse re-
porter explained humbly.
We'll, you ought to be glad you
didn't. Who is the guilty wretch?"
The horse reporter smiled pleasant

horse reporter pranced out of the
sacred seclusion snorting with joy.

PROBLEMS or MARRIAGE.

Most young people nowadays who
earn their living contribute at least
something to the support of their par

port, especially if but one parent is

the best way to look after the hap

on them.
The almost universal course adopt

seems the easiest and most natural
solution of the question.
But it would be we'll to weigh the
pros and cons a little to look ahead

MAKE THIS COUNTY KNOWN.

This spring a big colonist rush to
the northwestern states is underway.
Thousands of people are leaving their
homes in the east and middle states
to seek new locations farther west.
But aside from those who are
brought here by a few energetic col
onization concerns in the irrigated
section Umatilla county sees none OF
the newcomers. The greater part of
those coming westward don't know
that Umatilla county exists. They
have never heard of this county be-
cause Umatilla county has not been
advertised. At least it has not been
advertised in a consistent, effective
way
However, if the plan for voting
half mill county tax for publicity pur-
poses is carried there will be a suffi
cient fund available to make amends
for past negligence. It will be pos
sible to maintain a publicity bureau
that will be able to prepare and send
out literature showing the resources
and the possibilities of all sections of
TIE county. This literature can be
placed in the hands of the homeseek-
ers and when they come westward
they will know what Umatilla county
has to offer them.
Now there are some misguided souls
who imagine Umatilla county has
nothing to offer newcomers save the
newly reclaimed land in the west end
country or irrigated tracts in the
east end. This is mistake and big
one. though a natural mistake. True
the irrigated sections offer great op-
portunities to homeseekers. Yet all
about US there are good openings. In
the foothill country and in the country
about Pilot Rock and to the south
ward there is land that will raise
fruit without irrigation or with but
slight irrigation. This land may be
had at remarkably low prices. Such
land has never been doomed and Is
still selling at the old time prices.
There are people Of good judgment
who say they would prefer invest
ments in such land to investments in
irrigated lands.
Why not advertise this county and
bring in come new people and there
by place this entire county in line
with other progressive sections Of the
northwest?

DON'T BORROW TROUBLE.

Never trouble trouble till trouble
troubles you" is a rather trite say
ing. but nevertheless II is a good one.
At least the average human being
would lead a happier life if he OBJ
served this rule more than he does.
One Of the most pathetic things in
the world is the fact that we are not
content with the misfortunes that we
have, but we go out of our way to
borrow trouble, says a popular cur
rent writer.
The sorrow that crushes us is not
the grief Of the present moment, but
the fear Of some possible calamity

that may be waiting for us tomorrow.
We can endure the load that we are
now bearing, but we sink under the
burden that may be laid upon us.
There are rich men who never en-
joy a dollar of their money because
they are harassed by the dread that
something might happen some time
that would render them bankrupt. AL
ways before their eyes is the vision of
breaking banks and failing crops. and
panics and fires and disasters, and
they tremble to think what would be-
come of them if everything they have
earned in years of hard labor were
suddenly swept away.
You say to such man that he
should not work so hard; that he
should take long vacation; that he
should fravell that he should build
himself a beautiful house and have
horses and an automobile and get
some pleasure as a pay for his slav-
cry to business. He shakes his head.
He says he can't afford it, and, al,
though he is ashamed to put the truth
into words, you know that he has
gone out and borrowed trouble about
poverty at compound interest. He
hasn't sense enought to wait to worry
over hard times until they come bat
tering at his door.

HIS AID Is NEEDED.

If reports from Washington are re-
liable the president is to use his in
fiuence towards inducing congress to
vote the $3O,OOO,OOO bond issue for
the reclamation service This is good
news because there are indications
that the presidential influence will be
needed to secure the passage of the
bill. In congress there is some fixed
antipathy to the reclamation policy.
This has existed from the beginning
and is for the most part confined to
eastern members who have no direct
concern in reclamation work. Then
during the past year the controversy
over conservation has so disrupted af-
fairs that there is danger congress
may not pass legislation needed by
the reclamation department If presi-
dent Taft comes to the rescue and
uses the influence of his office towards
securing the bond issue he will be
rendering good service to the west.

SCHOOL LAND WASTE.
(Oregon ,Lournal)


1t is reported by an official inves-
tigating committee of the state of
Washington that the state has been
defrauded out of about $1,000. 900
that should have accrued to its school
fund. The fund amounts to $1,000
600, when it should be $4,000, 600. If
the state school lands had been hon
estly and carefully administered. The
loss occurred partly through care
lessness and Incompetence partly
through fraud and criminal conniv-
ance with land grabbers.
What shameful. dastardly crime
this is-to rob the school children
not only of the present generation
but of all succeeding generations. If
a man is severely punished as a
criminal for robbing his neighbor of
a few dollars should not an official
be far more heavily punished for rob-
bing all the people, including and in
particular the children of the state?

Washington is similar to that of the

schools participated. Each school
formed in line, two abreast, and was

Volunteers Drop The Opener

Now comes FL. 7. Mcdaniel of the Mem
phis News cmitar, repeating tales to the
effect that the management of the base
ball club of Chattanooga is in violation
of the salary limit
Time was when such stories caused no
stir, for everyone violated the old rule,
and everyone knew that everyone else
was doing so. But now things are differ
ent. and the president, the manager and
a director Of each club is compelled to
make affidavit that the club in question is
receiving no more money than 1920, and
that no subterfuse is practiced.
Therefore, McDaniel's publication. which
amounts to a practical charge, is liable
to stir up little hornets nest
He has heard the story that the street
railway company of Chattanooga is put
ting up the coin. He charges that De-
maree was given to the club by the said
company as a present out OF the whole
cloth. He declares one of the owners or
directors has offered cash prizes for play
ers who succeed in leading in the several
departments of the game. He states tha'
players ordered to report to Chattahoo-
ga. were given money to buy tickets, not
by the shortest route possible, but by the
longest /. e.. from New York to Chat

ND to such an extent that hurried eai'

But we do not believe. in view of the
fact that several men of each club are
