Brokaw secures as much as 5 per cent inter- est on his wealth, he would get $81 .946 income year. With this he readily could secure the services of 100 good. honest, hardworking men, each year 100 men who would toll for him and give him everything they produced. And yet this poor man says he does not even look after his own property leaves such care to his agents while he spends the revenue. It will be better day when such poor men have to do something useful or starve.

1910 for ''You and I aud the Rest of Us. ''


 When we look backward we see that the annual turn of the year has never meant for us a change in char acter, conduct or circumstances. Life, good and bad, and yet through out good. goes its mysterious way unaffected by the calendar and our arbitrary division of time into year beginnings and year endings. New ertheless, with each January first, hopeful mortals that we are, we pie ture year all bright, all good, all happy; year like no other year since the generations of man began,
 Let us wish each other a Happy New Year, a new year not of three hundred and sixty-five days, but of three hundred and sixty-five months or even years. Let us hope| that America. for America is but "you and me and the rest of us," will be. gin to live so wisely and so we'll that to be born in this land will be a great boon and privilege. Let us wish for prosperity-for good crops and good business and freedom from fire and drought and famine. Let US wish for health not only for those who command the services of surgeons and specialists, but for those also who now live in tenements and huts and the dwellings of the poor-not a health which is built up of medicines and tonics, but an open-air, natural health of men leading sane and hap py lives. Let us hope for life-for the ves.of.babies now dying need lessly. for the lives of consumptives and persons rstricken in industry. Let us hope forIwise'politics and wise industrial leadership and wisdom in all our relations. Let us hope for peace peace with foreign nations, peace among the states, peace among the various classes and sec tions of'America, peace among our selves and peace with ourselves. Let us hope for justice-not only the legal justice of the blinded lady with the scales, but a justice tempered with mercy, tolerance and under standing, that cuts deep under ju- dlcial quibbles and gives to each man and woman and child all that he or she needs-and should there fore have-a justice which extends to our thoughts as to, our actions. And lastly, let us hope for charity not the doles to the poor, but sym pathy and fair construction and real help for those who fall below our standards, for all who stumble, for defectives and deilnquents and dependents. for the people sent to this world half-formed or badly formed, and for those who have been crushed in our struggle for existence and our struggle for precedence. 1t would be happy New Year if you and l and the rest of us'' could walk through the streets and see no dis tress, no misery, no corruption.
 All this will not come in 1910, but all will come. Let us wish. therefore, that if the year upon which we are now entering does not bring us Utopia. it will at least Icing us an

AT a recent meeting of the club 1t

pointed to look after this affair,
which was Immediately done. The
committee held a meeting at the
Woodbridge hotel a week ago Fri
day. Several plays were suggested,
as Oak Farm" and several other
dramas, which were not suitable.
THE play the club decided to be
given Is entitled Among the Berk-
shires, or New England Folks" a
rural drama in three acts, by An
thony E. Wills, the same author who
wrote the college Chums."

funds to be raised by the public citi-

ment affair was taken up, but proved

extended south only to the line of the

south about four miles and includes
hundreds of acres of very valuable

is Of the very best grade of Umatilla

The farmers of this vicinity are
verv busy with their spring work and
a number of them are finding it nee
essary to reseed some of their land.
Some of the fall seeding, especially
that which was done very late in the
season was frozen out There are
some several hundred acres in this vi
cinity being reseeded. Flowing sum-
mer fallow land is we'll under way and
the general work Of the season is well
advanced. The wheat in this section
is growing nicely and looks extremely
