Iowa and Missouri till fresh in memory, luscious straw berries will be ripe In Umatilla coun ts' and in other sections of the inland mpire's semi-arid belt by May 1. It seems Incredible, but It is never theless true. While but few berries have been planted in the west end of the county as yet, It is evident from the limited tests made that Hermiston Umatilla, Echo. Posters and all of that section will be able to market new strawberries in Immense quantities by May 1, every year, when once this In dustry i followed scientifically there. The pursuasion of the warm sandy ail. the genial warmth of the early spring sunshine, the mildness of the winters and the absence of frost, all combine to make that section of Uma tilla count the Italy of all Oregon. The waste lands there are beckoning ti intelligent husbandry. Fortunes are sleeping at the roots of the sage rrush. Gold glints in the very sun shine and contentment smiles In the landscape. MR. CAKE'S ADVANCED VIEWS. After listening to the excellent ar guments advanced by H. M. Cake, re rvblican candidate for United States senator, at the court house In this city last night, no man could doubt the Justice and absolute necessity of the popular election of United States sen ators. The political history which Mr. Cake recited, showing the enormous cost of the disgraceful senatorial hold Bps, the wanton and extravagant waste of the people's time and money In Tolved in the hold-ups, should con vince any fair-minded man of the necessity for a change In the method v choosing senators. Mr. Cake has taken a fearless and advanced stand for popular govern ment and the election of senators. He has surrendered, absolutely, every sel fish motive and aim, If such ever ex isted In his mind, upon the subject, and trusts the selection of a senator entirely with the intelligence and courage of the sovereign people. It is advanced ground to occupy In tills tlrru Of strong political organiza tion and active political machines. Plsw men have found the courage to tk- this ground In the face of the party 'rgan!ation of their states Few men have found courage to break way from the party machine, to defy the power by which the machine seeks to name tickets, makf platforms and dictate policies. Few public men have found courage to surrender completely tu the voter, and those few men who have found courage to do these things deserve the highest honor and recog nition. " Mr. Cake believes In electing the people's, choice for the United States seriate He believes In amending the constitution to make that method compulsory. He believes that in order to secure an amendment to the con stitution of the United States chang- Once the Pendleton Tribune was a ical republican paper, worked for the Interests Of the party, advocated re publican principles, represented re publican sentiment in the broadest and most comprehensive way. Rut today and for the past yenr and a half, the Tribune has been a one man paper, a personal organ for T. T. Goer, a narrow, petty defender and apologist for Mr. Geer's record, boost ing in every column of Its editorial page Its otte central figure, T. T. Geer. The Interests of the party in Uma tilla county and eastern Oregon have been neglected, abandoned In the Geer campaign. Republican principles, in sofar as they concern the state and na tion are scarcely ever mentioned In that paper, any more, but It Is Geer, Geer, Geer, morning, noon and night, in news, editorial and other Items. No wonder It Is necessary to give away prizes and engage In a lottery to Induce people to take it. It will require a very, very costly prize to force many republicans to continue taking this one-man sheet. Aside from one or two unimport ant papers in the second congressional district, the Tribune, his own paper, Is the only one supporting Mr. Geer. But he makes up In self-praise and self-adulation in his own paper what hi- lacks Of support In other papers. The republicans of Umatilla county must look elsewhere for the advocacy and defense of republican principles and republican administrations, state ard national. The Tribune has drifted away from the party and Is now sim ply a personal organ with .one aim in view, namely the furtherance of the personal Interests of Its owner regard less of the Interests of the party or any other member of the party. Does It deserve the party's support. In view of these facts? RICHMOND P. HORSON. Representative Richard P. Hobson, the hero of the Merrlmac incident In Santiago harbor during the Spanish American war, will deliver the last lecture of the reason on Pendleton high school's lecture course, next Monday night, April 13. Hobson is typical of the unique American figures which the Spanish American war developed. His exploit at Santiago was typically American, typically heroic, an expression of the vital young soldier-manhood of the new world. Notwithstanding his reputation as a lecturer and as a congressman, (and incidentally as a kisser) Hobson stands before the American people today, chiefly as the hero of the Merrlmac. His oratory will sink Into Insignifi cance when we think of him directing the old hulk of a vessel Into the nar row bottle neck of Santiago's -harbor passage to blow It up and block the passage. Standing upon the platform In an evening dress, his admirers will yet look beyond this figure, to that of a bronzed face soldier plunging Into the salt waves of Santiago harbor with' Spanish bullets whistling about him, splashing the water uncomfortably close and making war's tragedy ex tremely realistic; friends will see only the brave boys, led by Hobson, going Into what seemed a death trap to plant a rotten old vessel crosswise In the harbor and blow her up, taking chances for their own lives by leaping Into the water to swim to safety or go down to death. . Such heroism in war is evidence of a like sturdy citizenship In peace. There are Richmond P. Hobsons doing heroic duty In the common walks of lift-; Hobson only performed a duty. How many are doing this from day to day, from year to year? That Is all there Is to good citizenship: Just do your whole duty, fearlessly. It Is the soldier's creed. THE KING fH os CURES DR.
