IOA0lN MILLER

Joaquin Miller, the poet Of the Sier-
ras, passed away at his simple noun
tain cabin in the hills back Of Oakland,
California, last week. Joaquin Miller's s
life has been peculiar; for he was a
genius. He was a poet not only Of the
Sierras but Of all the Pacific coast
country. He belongs more to the whole
coast than did Bret Harte, who told OF
the mining days of the Golden Coast,
as Joaquin Miller has told Of the beau
ties of its scenery and the fascinating
characteristics of the life Of the West
How strange to those who have read
Joaquin Miller's poems and have been
thrilled by bis noble thoughts were the
words: "Pity me. Oh, pity me p re-
ported to be his last Was joachim
Miller happy man? At intervals,
yes, but some his poems Of deeper feel
ing would intimate that be lacked that
pure contentment that he would have
liked to have had. The following is
his poem, "Pace lmpIora." " written in
Venice in 1874, and published in a re-
cent issue of the Overland Monthly:
Better it were to sit by the sea,
Loving somebody and satisfied
Better it were to grow babes on the
knee
To anchor you down for all your days
Than wander and wander in all these
ways,
Land forgotten and love denied.
Better sit still where born, | say,
Wed one sweet woman and love her
well,
Laugh with your neighbors. and live in
their way,
Be it never so simple. The humber
your home,
The nobler, indeed. to bear your part,
Love ana be loved with all your heart,
Drink sweet waters and dream in a
spell,
Share your delights and divide your
tears;
Love and be loved in the old east way,
Ere men knew madness and came to
roam
From the West to the East and the [
whole world wide:
When they lived where their fathers
had lived and died
Lived so loved for thousand years. n
Better il were for the world, say [
Better, indeed, for a mans own good h
That he should sit down where he was
born, e
Be it land of sands or of oil and corn, S
Valley of poppies or bleak northland, a
White sea border or great black wood, Y
Dr. bleak white Winter or bland sweet
May. u
Dr. city of smoke or plain of the sun Ii
Than wander the world as | have done,
Breaking the heart into bits of clay,
And leaving it scattered on every hand.
Then in the California hills, where =
ne could look out upon the wonderful I,
int of the Sunset at the Golden Gate,
1ne might think that Joaquin Miller .
had found the contentment that he was 3
looking for. Life is rather hard to j.,
The man who sits in the ,
humble home by the sea envies the ,
wanderer. He would be care free and
roam the four corners of the world,
while the man who has led such a
life longs for just such contentment
as he pictures the former enjoys.

Strange things happen. The women
of Portland declare that unless they
can buy better apples and at prices less
than the consumers Of Liverpool pay
they are going to boycott the Oregon
apples and eat California citrus fruits
We think we have heard of the womer
of California talking about boycottinp
their products because they were unabl,
to get the best at home. The loca
markets should be supplied with bette
fruit at better prices. Purchaser
should be able to get extra fancy frui
on local markets, also.

than did the hen lecture Of Prof Dry
den week before last. Not only we're
the orchsrdists, themselves, present
but their wives and children we're
there. Ihe extension course lectures
Of the Oregon Agricultural experts
were well attended. OF course, they
all dealt 10 q certain extent with sp-
ple culture. But they pointed out the
beneficial results to be obtained from
the kinds Of diversified farming, car
ried Oh in a small way, that will be Of
great benefit to the Orcardist. The
lectures that dealt with truck garden
ing created just as much interest as
did the addresses dealing with apples.
What was the significant feature Of
these gatherings? Il was the prevail
ing feeling. expressed in this interest
in all things around which country life
centers, that shows that Hood River
people are, more than anything else,
home loving. They have passed by
the dangerous period Of speculation,
and without being on the search for
easily gained fortunes are content 10
reap the reasonable returns from the
home commensurate with their efforts
and expended energies. The tendency
is toward solidity and the expression
Of it is a good sign. The community
that stands based on such soIidity.
where its citizens realize the need Of
frugality, where this frugality is prac-
tieed, where no dangers Of the future
are feared, is the community that
makes a conservative growth that is
never thwarted.
And Hood River people have come to
realize the need of raising their own
chickens, their own cows and their own
gardens. The housewife realizes the
need Of making her own bread. MY
man." as the orchard farm hand is
termed by the grower will not be
eliminated. He will still be needed,
but his employer will dig in by his side
and work himself
Prof. Lewis, one Of the members of
the o. A. C. faculty who was here last
week, sounded word Of warning to
he orcharidsts, however. He told
hem not to over do the diversified
'arming venture. There is no excuse
or an orchardist not being able to pro-
'ide his family with the most Of the
necessities of life. lie can have the
est of vegetables. He can produce
is own milk and his own butter and
ggs. But he should not undertake
hese tasks on too large a scale. He
hould still have time to think of ways
} reduce the cost of producing the
pples and the expense Of packing
lem for shipment. His time should
)t be taken up so much with other
ings that he will be unable to spray &
s trees and give them the other nee S
sary care. For the Hood River Q
Newtowns, Ortleys and !
few other varieties are predominant. I
he industry of growing them is going |
continue to grow along progressive

President Sends Telegram to Califor-
MAS Governor and the Legislative
Leaders, Asking If 1t Will BE Ac-
ceptable for Secretary of State to
Confer With Them.

Washington, April 23 Even
though California passes the anti
alien land law aimed directly at the
Japanese, Japan will not attempt
warlike retaliation, was the declara-
ton voiced by Baron Chinda, Japan
ese ambassador today. Chinda de-
clared the better classes in Japan are
trying to quiet the lingo talk by the
lower classes and that war between
the two nations Is out of the question.
The ambassador asserted he had not
seen the president for a week but
expects to pay tomorrow his custo-
mary courtesy call on Secretary Bry-
an. 1t was emphatically denied at
the White House that Japan had voic-
ed war threat.
NJ Okobe, secretary of the Japan
ese embassy, said: I'VE shall wait to
see what the California legislature
does. but 1 feel certain that war will
not result. even should California en-
act measure specifically directed
against the Japanese. I don't know
whether Japan will be inclined to test
the law in the United States court.

pan comes only from the lower class

men BLAMED FOR
THE VICE PROBLEM

Philadelphia. Pa. April 2S.-De-
claring that the problem is more Of
men than of women" and that "the
strongest support for the idea that
prostitution roots in low wages is
found in study of the annual wage
incomes of men rather than statistics
of young girls" the vice commission
appointed nearly a year ago by Mayor
Blankcnburg. in its report made pub
lie urges the enforcement of the pres
ent laws and the enactment of other
legislation to provide for the punish
ment of all those who benefit by COM
mercialiZed vice. The commission,
which is composed of 81 prominent
men and women including clergymen,
physicians. lawyers, heads of refor-
matory institutions and settlement
workers. appends numerous statistics
secured by their investigators to the
report
The report urges the appointment
of a permanent commission to utilize
the information obtained and to make
effective the recommendations Of the
commission. which include the care
and education of children; the estab-
lishment of social service department
stores manufacturing establishments
and other places having a large num-
Der of employees and the strict super
vision of places of amusement. The
report opposes the policy of segrega-
ton.
Public parks. dance halls, moving
picture shows and other amusement
centers are breeding places of vice,
the commission declares.

SAME OLD STORY
OF BAD CHECK MAN

\ man giving the name of Bud
Stubler is the latest alleged bad
check artist to run afoul of the law
here in Pendleton. He was arrested
yesterday morning by Chief of Police
John Kearney after attempting to
pass worthless check for $25 at the
Columbia and Olympia Bars. The
check was made out in his favor and
bore what purported 10 be the sig
nature of n. Z. Lee. He had secured
bona fide check for $3.50 from Mr.
Lee and had evidently tried to copy
the 1atter's handwriting upon anoth-
er check While the chief was search
ing him at the station, he slipped the
check between his outer and under
shirt but the movement was noted
and the check secured. He will be
transferred to the county Jail this aft
ernoon and will be given a hearing
when Justice of the Peace Parkes re-
turns.

uted to a southern California million
aire by forty-three alleged White
slaves who, according to the police
knew him variously as the BLACK
PEARL and the king"

however. that he would institute a
grand Jury probe.
When Mccartney reached this de-
termination. Chief of Police Sebastian

ony complaint against George B.
BiXby, Long Beach banker and cap
italist in connection with the white
slave accusations, stated that he
would go before the grand jury him
self tomorrow and give the names of
forty-three girls alleged to have been
enslaved.

supplied him with information con-
cerning the Jonquil, the pseudo hotel
where Mrs. Josie Rosenberg was al
legged to have pandered to many veal
thy men by introducing them to
young girls.
Many of the alleged victims have
expressed perfect willingness to tell
their story to the Jurors.

CHARGE POLITICS
ARE BEHIND BILL

Washington, April 23.-The declar-
alton that state politics are behind
California's anti-alien land bill. now
pending in the California legislature.
was voiced to President Wilson by
Theodore A. Bell and Congressman
kettner of California today. Tel
grams were produced to back up the
allegations. 1t was suggested to the
president by Bell and Kettner that
the governor and the progressives of
California are trying to force the ad-
ministration to interfere in the same
manner in which Roosevelt was fore
ed to interfere.
