THE CALL FROM LOTUS LAND.

II is oh. to be far beyond the sea.
Near a temple old and gray;
There to hear the breeze in the whis-
pering trees
At the close Of the peaceful day;
1t is oh. to lie where the soft winds
sigh,
To list to the tales they tell;
There to dream. at will in the even
ing still
And the sound of the temple bell.
evening falls,
Like the lure of a sirens song;
There's a beckoning hand from the
Lotus Land
/, to answer its signal, long;
For / feel the fire of a heart desire
To flee from the toll and strife,
Where none can say must work, not
play,
Nor dream away my life.
1t were good to go and to feel and
know
That the world is good and truey
That it gives a smile which is well
forth while
To faithful, chosen few;
There to gather cheer for the fading
year,
Till with smile serene and fond,
We fall asleep in the forest deep
On the banks of a lotus pond.

ACROSS THE ANDES.

The first transcontinental railroad
of South America Is finished. Africa
alone among the continents remains
unspanned. 1t is 80 years since the
trans-Andean enterprise was uder-
taken, and it stands today as one of
the great engineering feats of the
world. The summit of the road is
10,500 feet above the sea and there
are 20 tunnels in a space of 13 miles
where the main range of the Andes Is
pierced. Not only is Valparaiso
brought closer to Buenos Ayres and
to Europe by two and half days, but
the difficulties and expense of the
old journey by stage across the sum-
nit are entirely eliminated

THE GATE Is NOT CLOSED.

Enemies Of the conservation policy
inaugurated by Roosevelt and Pinchot
delight in misrepresenting the effects
o. conservation upon the west. The
Oregonian published cartoon sever
al days ago which represented Pin
chotism as having closed the west to
settlement and having turned the
colonist tide to Canada. This is as
far from the truth as is hades from
heaven.
The door of the west is not closed
against settlers. Settlers are com
ing to the west more numerously than
ever before and they have much to
come for The irrigation projects,
governmental and private, that have
been developed within the past few
years provide homes for more people
than have gone into western Canada
or ever will. This irrigated land will
sustain a family upon five or ten
acres. OF the Canada wheat land II
takes a section TO make farm OF any
particular value. Then 1t Is false to
represent that the Canadian land
was furnished free by the Canadian
government. The Americans VINO
have gone to Alberta have for the
most part purchased Canadian Pa
cific land and purchased it at high
rrices They could have found raw
wheat land at lower prices Ia the In
terror Of eastern Oregon. They went
70 Canada because the Canadian Pa
cific gave liberal terms as to pay
rnents and because that corporation
maintained a colonization bureau that
knew its business"
The conservation policy OF Roose-
welt and Pinchot looked to the pro.
lection Of the forests, water powers
and coal lands. 1t aimed at stopping
the gobbling up Of the natural re-
sources Of the country by the Guggen-
helms and the Morgans. That policy
never stopped settler from coming
westward Theodore Roosevelt is
the best friend the west ever had for
II was his Influence that caused the
government to take up reclamation
work.
The Oregonian is a dyspeptic and
seldom sees good in anything. Some
OF It's friends who we're In the coal
grabbing business have been blocked
in their operations and the oregonian
howls that conservation is keeping
settlers from the west. The Ore
gonian itself is blocking the settle
ment OF the west. Its cartoon tends
10 discourage those who are telling
fasteners that Uncle Sam has pro-
vided good homes for them on the
Umatilla project and upon otoher pro-
1ects OF the west. That cartoon was
FIND advertising for Canada, though
false as to facts.
II the Oregonian had the true west

Interest rather than by malice and

predatory wealth It would follow a
different course. Instead of pictur-
ing the door Of the west as closed II

TAKE THE OLIVE BRANCH.

The East Oregonian knows of the
bitterness and dissension always en-
gendered by fights such as the one
that will ensue If the county division-
ists insist on putting their proposition
to a vote this fall. This paper has
been through political fights before.
When warm campaigns are on in
Umatilla county the East Oregonian
is generally a participant. When 1t
takes part it wants its side to- win and
fights to that end. If there Is to be
a county division fight this paper
will be in the thick part Of the fray.
But because 1t knows Of the injury
that results from such controversies
the East Oregonian wants to see the
division fight averted. This paper
would rather use its energies this fall
In support of the Eastern Oregon
normal and in behalf of the publicity
movement. 1t would hate to devote
It's batteries to the county division
fight. There is something to be gain
ed from reestablishing the normal
school and from creating publicity
bureau. No good could result from
division fight.
1t is up to the leaders at Milton and
Freewater to choose between peace
and war. They can go on with their
campaign and throw this county into
bitter fight or they can withhold
their proposition and bring peace. May
this latter course appeal to them.

LESSON OF THE ANTS.

In a recent book about ants. Rev.
II. c. McCook gives some surprising
facts about the mountaineering ants
Of the Alleghenies. He has measured
some mounds more than 30 feet in cir
cumference, although rarely more
than three feet in height. But around
these there were many new mounds,
in course Of construction, only few
inches In height. They are found In
groups one Of which, near Holidays
burg, Pennsylvania, contains LOO
mounds within a space of so acres.
Their total population is enormous,
and each group of mounds appears to
constitute community-an Insect
kingdom or empire. In regard to their
numbers, Doctor Forel is quoted as
saying that these ant Kingdoms have
in all probability from zoo, 100000 to
400, 100000 inhabitants, "all forming
single community. and living to-
gether In active and friendly inter-
course" An ant is an exceedingly
small insect. Alone 1t could accom-
plish but little. But organized with
many others, marvellous things are ac-
complished. lesson for the nom
union man: "Go to the ant, thou slug
gard. consider Its ways and be wise"
