VERY SINGULAR.

President Taft's message upon
conservation reads like he forsees a
gathering storm and is preparing to
meet it. In his special message he
advocates some conservation legisla-
ton without waiting for the results
0: the Ballinger inquiry. He is in a
hurry now.
This is very well. But all the con-
servation legislation we win get from
the present congress may be put in
one eye. The organization or the
REGULARS" in congress are not serv-
ing the people of the United States;
they are serving special interests.
They will do as their masters say
with reference to conservation legis-
lation With much hullaballoo they
will probably pass a conservation
measure and claim it is an ideal law.
But it will be ideal in the same sense
that the revised tariff law is ideal.
II President Taft is a real conser-
vationist and desires TO carry out the
plans Of his predecessor why does he
quarrel with true conservationists
like Clifford Pinchot Mr. Pinchot is
preeminently the leader Of the con-
servation movement. Yet in prefer
ence to his advice the president seems
70 prefer the advice Of Ballinger, a
former lawyer for coal grabbers and a
man who is accused OF having used
his high position to forward the plans
OF a concern that is out TO gobbie up
the coal fields Of Alaska. The presi-
dent is also fighting the progressive
or "insurgent' element in congress
the very element that stands for ef-
fective conservation legislation. He
stands by the Aldrich-Cannon crowd,
a crowd that never favored anything
that was for the welfare Of the public
as opposed to the welfare Of special
interests.
President Taft is still trying to wear
the Roosevelt clothes. But there are
many, many people who don't like
the way he wears them.

OPPORTUNITY.

There Is theory that Opportunity
is a god that smiles but once upon
every individual This ideal is brill
liantly set forth in the celebrated
poem By John J. Ingalls, and which
starts out Master Of human desti-
nies am l." There is another theory
that opportunities are all about us
and that one has to awaken 10 the
realization Of this fact and then
take advantage Of them.
OF the two theories perhaps the lat
ter is preferable. No one need de-
spair because an opportunity has been
lost. There will be others. Active,
successful men do not mourn over
lost opportunities. They make new
opportunities to suit their needs. Yet
these men know that at times rare
chances may come their way and they
wish to be ready for them. oppor-
tunity is often a riderless horse that
stops for but a moment The proper
man is at hand and ready to mount

BRING THEM OUT.

on the 25th, 2sth and 27th of this
month the first annual poultry show
for Umatilla and Morrow counties
will be held in this city. The show
viii be something of novelty for this
section. In the past Umatilla and
Morrow counties have not been known
as poultry raising counties. But lit
tie small farming has been carried
on. However there is some very high
grade poultry in this vicinity and IN
other sections Of the two counties.
This poultry should all be on exhibi-
ton at the coming fair. If for no
other reason the breeders should put
their fowls on exhibition for pur-
poses Of comparison. If you do not
have the best stock you should find
it out. There is nothing in raising
poor grades Of anything. Successful
poultry raisers want the best breeds
there are. Bring your chickens to the
poultry fair and find out where you
are at"

WORK Is NECESSARY.

No business house grows Of its own
accord. An establishment may have
a good field and a chance to do a sue
cessful business. But without atten-
ton to business and hard, aggressive
work on the part of the management
the business will not expand very
much. The rival houses win grow in
stead.
It is very much the same way with
towns. \ place may have a splendid
geographical location. Pendleton
unquestionabIy has But unless local
people get into the harness and stay
there, unless they watch things and
fight for what is coming to them the
town will not go forward. Other

\ HIGH TRIBUTE.

That was a tribute indeed the ma
.uoual livestock association paid Gif-
T iford Pinchot when assembled in their
annual convention at Denver the
catuemen endorsed the work Of the
former forester. The stockmen de-
ciared Pinchots administration Of the
reserves to have been high minded
. and excellent and they asked for a
continuance Of his policies with ref
e-enee TO forest reserves.
\ few years ago cattlemen and
sheepmen looked with scorn on the
forestry service. They said Plnchot
was an impractical dreamer. But
they have learned differently, many
OF them at least. The forest reserve
Tclicy, which was fathered and made
effective by Pinchot is now univer-
sally commended. The sheepmen are
more antagonistic to Pinchot than
anyone else. This is natural because
the sheepmen play upon one side OF
q game and the forestry people upon
the other. Yet even among the wool
growers there are many strong ad-
mirers Of Clifford Pinchot. Most
sheepmen respect Pinchot as a sin
/ cere and worthy laborer for the gen.
eral welfare though of course they
have resented his activity at times.
No heepman likes to have his range
reduced or be forced TO leave the
range while the grass is good. OF
course not.

Man-a-lin an Ideal Laxative
ON THE SQUARE.

When you come from the east and
land out west.
Where there's room to breathe and
the climates best;
When you come from the prim, staid
east, l say,
With a purpose, half involved. to stay
And you meet a man whole
souled chap
And a hundred more-same kind,
mayhap-
And each says: Shake, new friend
of mine,
Come on right in; the waters fine.
You're from the east, and so were
we;
But we're living now. as you can see;
And you'll be, too, If you stake your
claim
In this mans town. and you don't go
lame,
Just clamp your claws or the top
most roost,
Crow with the rest, and boosr-and
boost.
Just get the spirit; leave the rut.
And wealth is yours-no ifs or but"
say, when you come from the east
out here
To the land Of hope. glad hands and
cheer,
And you meet real men, and women,
too,
Who'd share their last red cent with
you
It's then you smile, throw out your
chest
Oh, what's the use? You know the
rest
You'll stick? You bet, And your lot
you'll share
With the western folk, for they're on
the square.

There was fairly good attendance

demand for such cattle than or any
