When You Come to Die.

u man say the other day. Well. don't
you worry. From present indications
the undeitaker is going to have to hus-
tie To get enough fellows together to
handle the box, let alone getting up a
parade or tableau. But the fact Ia you
have shot of your mouth n little pre-.
maturely. You will change your ideas
whole lot by the time the headlight Of
eternity begins to shine In your face.
You viii be asking for the fellows to
come around and see you. and tell you
the news, and you will want those you
have skinned to forgive. You will talk
whole lot about how different things
would be II you could live your life over
When the preacher calls you will be In
a hurry To tell him what mistake you
made In not joining the church and
when he wants to pray for you. you
will jump ut the chance like black
bass after ny. Il Ia easy enough for
ua to talk about how we would go Into
battle and slay the enemy: but when
the enemy stalks up and lecrs In our

Then and Now.

Colonel Roosevelt's recent speech in
Chicago was not his first confession
of faith" Once upon time he made
another confession of faith" and con-
cluded it with the following words:
THE wise custom which limits the
president to two terms regards the sub
stance and not the form, and under no
circumstances will be candidate for
or accept another nomination.
The Colonel's faith seems to have un
dergone a very sudden and radical
change but then of course the people
forced(?) him to make the change.

er matter, and that is. the efforts we
are putting forth to install electric
pumping outfits in the Milton Freewa-
ter territory. There is a great deal
of land in Umatilla county that can
not be irrigated by gravity, but
which can be irrigated by electric
pumping. This spring we have in
stalled many pumping plants which
will result in making fertile a large
area of land that has heretofore been
unproductive. Every acre OF land in
this county that is claimed from poor
and waste lands means Just that much
more for the prosperity Of the COM

Particular, for every dollar that is
brought into this county from the

An Abnormal Rainfall.

Umatilla county has been thorough
ly soaked during the past eighteen
hours by a rain which began about
10 O'Clock last night and has con-
tinued almost without a pause since.
According to Official Weather OBJ
server E. F. Averill, six tenths of an
inch has been precipitated during the
storm which brings the May rainfall
SO far during the month to two inches
or SS 1-3 per cent more than the nor
NAL for the entire month. While it
has been little hard on the baseball
enthusiasts it has been good for the
crops and there is no great amount
of repining.

have to make another Campaign for
money which during the two years
holdup has been sorely needed. The
appropriation bills as passed by the
legislature provided for the erection
of two permanent fireproof buildings,
which were the main items of ex-
pense and which, with money to be
expended upon increased equipment
and maintenance, were to cost five
hundred thousand dollars. Consider
ing that Portland is spending more
than that sum upon one of three high
schools and that high schools costing
close to a hundred Thousand dollars
apiece are being built in many of the
towns of the state, the expenditure of
five hundred thousand dollars at the
state University is not excessive
During the last ten years, which
have witnessed the doubling of the
enrolment of students, the state has
expended but sixty-five thousand dol
lars on buildings at the University.
A fireproof building to house the
large library of the institution and
the irreplacable Condor geological
exhibit, and one to provide additional
recitation rooms which will remove
the necessity of overcrowding base
ment and attic rooms in the older
buildings which were built back in
the seventies and eighties, are sorely
needed.
1.-The high schools of Oregon are
growing wonderfully and in order to
provide educational facilities for the
increasing number of graduates the
Universitys equipment must be i'm
proved and enlarged. and when the
facts are generally known 1t is GER
tainly to be expected that the people
of Umatilla county and of the state
will again endorse higher education
by voting for the erection of addition
al buildings which will meet the new
requirements"

appeared before the federation,
and told of the situation.
When he left the platform, a
resolution absolutely boycotting
the trust newspapers and promis-
ing the cancellation at depart
ment stores advertising was pass
ed unanimously.
And thus 1000 Chicago teach
ers, the intellectuals of the plain
people who must work for their
living, made common cause with
the men in overalls who earn their
bread by the sweat of their brow.
And it didn't seem to worry
them any that John Harding, of
the printers, whom Andy Law
renee had made a member of the
Board of Education, was in the
position he is.
The Chicago teachers now fig
ure they can look after them
selves, and follow their con-
sciences without fear or favor.
The blow is a hard one to the
trust newspapers. Ever since the
lockout, they have been insisting
the trouble was caused and kept
up only by sluggers, and thugs,
and self-seeking labor leaders.
Will the trust newspapers dare
brand the school teachers of Chi
cago as sluggers and thugs?
