ACETYLENE LIGHTS FOR THE
FARM HOME.


experience is confined to one type OF
the acetylene generator. However
in view of my success with the out.
fit and the genuine satisfaction, com
fort and economy that we derive
from it, do not hesitate to recon-
mend it to the readers of The Pro-
gressive Farmer and Gazette
Before going into details, I want
to briefly mention the faults and OBJ
jections to other equipments, as they
presented themselves when we had
the matter under consideration.
First, electricity.-Any but the
best and highest type of electrical
machinery is source of unending
dissatisfaction and expense and the
best equipment for lighting a pri-
vate home would entail prohibi-
tive first cost.
Second, gasoline.-This is proba-
bly, the cheapest and easiest to in
stall; however, I have been unable
to find lamps of low enough candle
power for use in the small rooms of
a farm home. The burners become
easily clogged and require constant
attention of a skilled nature. Most
important of all, they require a torch
saturated with alcohol and from
to minutes in lighting. For
churches and stores and other public
buildings, these objections are, of
course, of no consequence.
Now for the acetylene lights.
There are two types of these gen.
orators, known respectively as car
bide-fed" and "water-fed," In the
"carbide-fed," the calcium carbide is
dropped piece by piece into tank
of water. The only complicated
thing about these machines is the
valve that automatically feeds the
carbide and this is kept in perfect
order by cleaning thoroughly once
every three months.
In the water-fed generators, the
water is sprayed in small amounts
at a time on to heap Of the car
bide, and while / have had no ac-
tual experience with generators of
this type, they appear to me to be
considerably more complicated and
more liable to get out of order. as
the automatic feature is more intri-
cate. They may be more econom-
ical in the consumption of carbide.

cred including pipe and fixtures.

FOR \ SLANDERER.

If he has been correctly quoted in
a statement sent the Oregonian from
La Grande then DR.. Clarence True
Wilson is one of the biggest liars out
side a Jail. This despite his ecclasi-
astical calling. He is quoted as say
ing this about the East Oregonian
"The East Oregonian yesterday con-
tanned an editorial argument for the
home rule bill which was false in
every particular. Nothing but money
could have put it there"
Such a statement as that could have
had its origin only in the corrupt i'm
agination of this peculiar devine.
What support this paper is giving the
home rule bill is upon the merits of
that bill and for the sake of Pendle-
ton. It is not for money or for the
sake of liquor dealers. The East Ore
gonian does not sell its editorial space
and people who know this paper
know it well. Liquor dealers know
| II and so do prohibitionists. Politici-
ans know it, republicans. democrats
and otherwise.
! In accusing this paper as he has
Dr. Wilson has resorted to malicious
slander. He is no credit to the cause
which he advocates.

RETAIN HIM AS SENATOR.

During the eight years he has
served this county in the state CEN
ate Dr. C. ]. Smith has done very eff
fective work for the county One act
OF his that has been of much material
benefit not only to this county but to
Morrow as we'll was the measure es-
tablishing the Third district fair.
The establishment of the district
fair which has been held for five con-
secutive years and with much success
was due to Senator Smith and prac-
t.cally to him alone. Prior to the ses-
sion of 1905 he conceived the plan of
enacting a law establishing the third
district and appropriating money for
the fair premiums. He drafted the
district fair bill and secured its pas
sage. Not only did he get the bill
through the senate but he went into
the house of representatives and
worked with the members of that
body until he secured a majority
there. 1t was good work for this
county and Senator Smith did it well.
Had he not been an influential and
respected member he could not have
succeeded.
However the district fair bill was
but one of many important measures
successfully handled by DR.. Smith in
behalf of this county. Throughout
his two terms in the senate he has
always served his people faithfully
and capably. Never has Umatilla
county had a stronger representative
in the legislature.
BY reason of his experience and his
prestige as an old member DR.. Smith
will be of even greater influence If
reelected. So under the Circumstance
es the people of this county will be
going astray indeed if they do not
keep him in office

wanted the three existing schools
killed and a single normal established
AT Portland or in the close vicinity
OF that city. 1t would have been a
good thing for Portland but bad
thing for eastern oregon and the rest
of the state. Yet Bowerman, though
an eastern Oregon senator, sided with
the oregonian and he put the job
through. Since then he has been
well rewarded The publicity which
he has been given by the Oregonian
during this campaign has been his
chief asset. Bowerman was almost
unknown until the Oregonian took
him up and by exploiting him daily
with news stories and pictures gave
him his present prominence.
1t is the belief of this paper, form
ed after considerable knowledge of
conditions, that Jay Bowerman be-
trayed the Eastern oregon normal and
the educational interests of this state
in order to turn a trick that would
further his personal political am
bitions. The East Oregonian has no
use for Statesmen" Of that calibre,

The first duty of every man is to
register.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-10-14

All will rejoice to know that an
amicable settlement has been reached
OF the trouble arising out of DR.. Goes
obligations at Stanfield and upon the
Furnish-Coe project. That project is
a valuable thing in the development
of Umatilla county and both the men
who developed the project and the
men who have colonized it have rem
dered good service to this part of
eastern oregon. There should be no
quarrel between them.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-10-14
WHY HE OPPOSED THEM.

In his address here last night Jay
Bowerman sought to defend his nor
NAL school record. He put forth the
usual arguments, that the schools
were not doing all the work they
should do and were mixing in poll
tics.
But the. normal schools were doing
good work despite utterances to the
contrary by Bowerman or anyone
else. They were turning out we'll
trained teachers and those teachers
are now holding down the most de-
sIrable positions everywhere. Those
teachers vfndicate the normal schools. 4
If the normal schools were not do
ing all they should have done then the
fault was with the legislature, not
with the schools. The legislature was
always niggardly towards the schools.
Never were the schools given suffici-
ent money with which to carry on
their work. Never did the schools
know how long they would be allowed
TO run How could one expect the
best work from them under such con-
ditions?
II Bowerman wanted the normal
schools to do more thorough work
why did he not favor giving them
money with which to carry on that
work?
II Bowerman wanted the normal
schools taken out of politics why did
he not advocate giving the schools
permanent annual support SO they
would not have to go to the legisla-
ture for appropriations each session !?
If Bowerman now wants the nor
NAL schools to be kept out Of politics
why does he not favor the initiative
measures that have been drafted in
behalf of the various schools? Those
bills, II they pass. will provide perma-
nent support for the schools and will
bill in behalf of the Eastern Oregon
normal is passed by the people then
our school will cease to be foot
ball" for legislators to kick around.
Yet Bowerman is not supporting that
initiative measure.
In the view Of the East Oregonian
Bowerman did not oppose the normal
schools for meritorious reasons. When
he blocked the appropriation for the
schools two years ago he was not
looking to the welfare Of the educa-
tional interests Of oregon. II he was
looking to the welfare Of our educa-
tional system why did he try to kill
the existing normals until better
systen had been devised? Why did
he refuse to allow the normals suf-
ficient money with which to finish
their terms and graduate their senior
classes? Why did he force the East
ern Oregon normal to seek personal
contributions from friends in Pendle-
ton and elsewhere in order to finish
that term? Why did he refuse to
vote money that was Justly and hon.
estly due the instructors IN salaries?
This paper is convinced that Bow
erman's opposition TO the normal
schools was not prompted by worthy
motives. He took the course he did
TO please the Portland oregonian
That paper had long fought the nor
NAL schools in a spirit Of selfishness
and pessimism. The oregoniar

NEXT FLIGHT is
ACROSS NORTH SEA

Paris, June 3.-Count Jacques de
Lesseps, the aviator, who recently
flew across the English channel from
Calais, landing near Dover, today
wired his congratulations to Captain
Charles Stewart Rolls, who yesterday
flew across the channel and back
again on one continuous journey.
"The success of Captain Rolls, :"
said De Lesseps, "leaves nothing IN
the way of channel aviation. The
captain was successful in what I my
self attempted to do, the crossing and
recrossing of the channel in one
fight. He is entitled to every praise
the feat deserves.
"The next attempt will be fight
from England to Germany across the
North Sea- That is something well
worth striving for, and expect to
see it accomplished within year"

On Friday, May 27, every member
of the college community, from the
oldest and most learned pedagogue
to the youngest and most verdant
freshman, worked on the campus
grading ground, moving grass and
cutting down trees, for it was Col
lege Labor Day at the Oregon Agri-
cultural College. Seven hundred
men, including the members of the
faculty, responded to roll call at 8
o'clock this morning and Immediate
ly took up the work of improving
and beautifying the campus, which
continued until O'Clock in the af-
ternoon. Many trees were cut
down, many yards of dirt moved and
much rubbish cleaned away. No
partiality was shown in the division
of labor; professor and students
worked at the same tasks. Toward
the end of the day the campus had
indeed witnessed a very marked
change, and the work which had all
been previously arranged was car
ried out to the letter. In the morn
ing where large and stately frs
stood, where piles of rubbish and
mounds of dirt existed, were a thing
of the past when the day was over,
and the work was SO complete that
the ravages of cyclone could have
not done a better job. The college

GUAN0 CLAIMS
NEAR KLAMATH
KLAMATH CITIZENS STAKE OUT
LOCATION ON ISLAND ON LOW
Err KLAMATH LAKE-SAID TO
BE RICH IN GUANO.
(Klamath Falls Chronicle }

NhldudIu fdllS
That the guano deposits of this
country are thought to be very valu-
able and may develop into one of the
most extensive of our many resources
is shown by the fact that two claims
were staked off in the Lower Klam-
ath Lake Monday for their possible
value as fertilizer.
These claims are right on the Cali
fornia-O Oregon line, some being in
one state and some in the other, and
they were located by w. o. Smith
and Mr.. Hartman of the klamath
Falls Hydraulic Brick and Stone
company.
The floating islands in the lower
lake have long been known in this
country as the haunts of all kinds OF
wild fowl These islands are called
Bird islands from that fact that mil
lions of birds, such as pelicans, cor
morants, cranes, sea gulls and other
kinds of winged creatures, make
them their homes, and especially are
they there by the million during the
breeding season. These birds lay
their eggs and hatch their young in
nests built up of tules along the
shores of these islands and as many
of these birds, especially the pelicans
and cormorants (the latter being
known as shags) remain on the
island for several months, as they do
not fly until they are almost as large
as the old ones. These islands have
become vastly enriched from the car
casses of the dead birds and other
deposits left there by these scaven-
gers which feed their young on flesh.
Mr. Hartman, who claims to ne
well versed in the manufacture CT
fertilizer, states that these islands
are very valuable from the stand
point of guano deposits. He interest
ed w. o. Smith and together they
have staked off claims which take in
the portions of the islands most
frequented by the birds. Mr.. Harri-
man says that from what he saw of
these islands they are destined to
become very productive of results
from the manufacture of fertilizer
and while they are in a government
bird reserve, he says such claims can
be taken and worked for their de-
posits of guano
Just what Messers. Hartman and
Smith will do toward the early hand
ling of the deposits on their claims
is not known, but it is probable that
il they are found sufficiently valu-
able they will make an effort to have
them worked in the near future
Samples of the deposits were brought
to town by the gentlemen yesterday
and these will be sent away for
analysis to ascertain their exact
value.
