Tuttle is capable of doing an occasion
al stunt himself, in the way of popu-

to determine the most popular editor
of Eastern Oregon. has been waged
between Editors Wood of the Weston
Leader, and Boyd of fhe Athena Press,
hut since Saturdays election the Re-
corder editor has knocked the popu-
larity of both into cooked hat. The
two Umatilla men have been appoint
ed delegates to various conventions
but the Recorder editor received one
vote for the nomination of joint senat-
or for Umatilla. Morrow and Union
counties and Boyd and Wood are no
longer in the race. Neither can the
Recorder man be accused of voting for
himself. as he was bear huntinsg on
the day of election. Shut of Joseph,
Galloway of Enterprise and Eckley of
La Grande, have teen stirring about
little for popularity, but are not con-
sidered in the'race any longer. Dennis
of the Observer, was delegate to the
assembly, but since the election has
been receiving but little attention."

The POSTAGE Stamp.

Consider the postage stamp. 1t says
nothing regarding the difficulty of the
task assigned to 1t, but by dint of close
application it usually gets there; also
1t delivers the goods.
Again, If one isn't enough to carry
the thing through, two or more by
working harmoniously together see the
thing to finish.
No matter If the (maiD matter be
weighty, 1t puts a good face (of Wash
ington) on it and goes directly to the
point. 1t gets licked and stamped
upon, and men besmirch its fair fea-
lures and ofttimes give 1t more to
carry than the postaD union allows,
But, in spite of all this, it sticks un-
flinchingly to the matter in hand by
virtue of the fact that 1t knows that it
has good backing.
Its stick-to-it-ivity is worthy of EN-
ulation by you.-Judge's Library.

A good story is told Of two great
Irishmen, the late Archbishop Plunket
and Father Healy, the well known
parish priest of Bray. Making their
way together to Bray railroad station
one morning, the priest urged that
they should hurry, but the prelate's
appeal to his watch convinced him
that they had ample time. They ar
rived to see the train for Dublin dis
appearing. The archbishop's apollo
gles were lavish. He pleaded that he
had always had unbounded faith in
his watch. "My dear Lord Plunket,"
was Father Healys rejoinder, faith
won't do without the good works.

A new market for the lumber and
the salmon of Washington and Ore
gon will be created in the cities of the
Atlantic seaboard by the estat lishment
of line of steamships between Seattle
and San Francisco on the Pacific and
New Orleans and New York on the
Atlantic, transferring at Panama on
the railroad across the Isthmus. When
the new line starts operating its first
ship sailing from Seattle, October 10,
1T will be as cheap to send salmon
from Seattle to New York as it now is
by rail from San Francisco to New
Orleans. The operations of the Calf
ornia and Atlantic Steamship compa-
ny are expected to prove valuable
asset to the Northwest in the market
ing of its extensive resources on the
other side of the continent.

Perhaps the most sound advice which

Perhaps the most sound advice which
has been given to the people of the
Northwest in many years was that
conveyed in the message of James J.
Hill, the "empire builder" read at
the Portland Fair and Livestock ex-
position last month. A keen student
of national economic problems, Mr..
Hill in his paper sounded the cry of
"back to the farm. hut in a more
lcgical and practical manner than it
has been presented ty any one in the
Northwest. He pointed out the falling
off in the production of cattle and
hogs as one direct cause of increased
prices. He showed that the export of
food stuffs in this country has de-
creased by half in the last ten years
aud that it will not be long under
present conditions until the United
States will not be producing enough
food for its own people, not to men,
tion for export. He pointed out that
the raising of livestock was not only
becoming more profitable each year,
and more necessary to the food supply
of the conutry, but by the scientific
use of the fertilizing agents produced,
the raising of good crops is directly
benefited by the raising of livestock.
He expressed the belief that the acre
age now under cultivation in this
county would produce almost twice
what 1t does now if properly farmed,
and pointed to the raising of livestock
as one means toward the desired end.
His advice Is summed up in the words:
"The cattle and hogs and sheep that
are needed for home use and export,
to feed the woIl Id and reduce the prices |
that impair our standard Of living, are
needed equally to diversity our farm
industry and maintain the fertility Of
the soil. Nature makes no mistakes;
and to follow her leading is to walk
toward prosperity and peace.

For the first time since the populist
days of 1896, fusion ticket has been
nominated in the state of Washington,
the ticket in question being that of
five judges for the supreme court,
which will be supported by democrats
and Insurgent republicans against the
ticket named by the regular republic
an convention. The five candida tes
comprise three democrats and two re-
pubiicans, and tho fusion ticket is a
protest against the action of the re-
publican legislature in taking the nom
inaton of judges out of the direct pri-
mary and placing it back in the con-
ventions. The Nom Partisan Judiciary
League first named the ticket, and the
democratic convention close the same
men. The Non-Par tisan league is an
organization of insurgents, headed by
the managers of the Poindexter oam-
paign. With the combined support,
the ticket is expected to beat the nom
inees of the standpat convention.
