The Standard Oil company has at last found a United States court which it can handle, It would seem. Tho federal court of appeals of Chicago, which yesterday set aside the verdict of Judge Landis lif the Standard re bating cases, and remitted the $29, 000,000 fine Imposed by Judge Landis upon the oil octopus, has shattered the faith of the people in the sta bility of the courts. Judge Landis is an able Judge. He knows the law as well as any of the Judges in the court of appeals, and he found that the Standard Oil com pany was guilty, guilty as a dog and fined it accordingly. The evidence that the octopus had been rebating was conclusive. The crime was appar ent. The fine was only In keeping with tbe crime. Now comes this "great" court of appeals, one of the highest tribunals In the land, and sets aside the verdict, remits the fine and whitewashes this infernal corporation which Is smoth ering honest Industry to death In every part of the United States by its grossly criminal practices. That the Judicial system of the United States Is a pitiable farce, is more and more apparent every day. Anarchy among the rich and power ful will increase the sentiment of an archy among the common people. When the people we justice thwarted ar.d just verdicts set aside In the cases of billion-dollar corporations, it low ers their respect-for courts and codes and poisons their minds with the de sire for revenge. The court of appeals says that the Standard Oil corporation was not on trial In Judge Landis' court, that he did not have evidence to show that it was. guilty and that the whole trial and fine of the octopus by Landis was a miscarriage of law. The people do not believe this rot. They' believe that Judge Landis Is honest, capable and fearless and that the court of appeals Is a truckling which is ready to prostitute Itself be fore wealth on the slightest techni cally. If It is Impossible to convict a crim inal corporation, then the people will naturally gay that revolution Is the only cure for existing evils. The courts offer no redress and are the tools of the rich. A TIP TO UMATILLA. The East Oregonlan Is anxious to dispel the Umatilla Idea that a tract of land varying In size from 640 to J000 acres is necessary for the sup port of a single family which lives In town and sees the farm but a few times during the year. With this aim In view, this paper publishes from time to time, the re sults of Intensive farming In other sections of the country that our peo ple may know what magnificent re sults are being obtained from small tracts of land elsewhere. John McLennan of New York state, writes the following description of his farm to the Rural New Yorker, and as this same high state of culti vation and Intensive farming may be reached In parts of Umatilla county, tbe article contains a direct tip to thoughtful farmers of this part of the state. Mr. McLennan says: 1 now maintain a herd of 4 J pure bred Holateln cattle and six horn an E acres, and produce not one dollar's worth of feed except a small amount of balanced rations used to feed some of the cows while being officially tested for milk and butter fat. "Next year I propose to Increase my herd to 50 and expect to raise plenty to feed all. The only products sold from the farm are milk, stock and potatoes; of the latter I have usu ally from 300 to 500 bushels to sell, and I have sold 12300 worth of pure bred stock since October 1. 1907. My milk brings me about $100 per month, besides feeding whole milk to every calf born for at least six months. "Of course this system of farming eliminates all pasturage and requires two, and sometimes three crops from the same land each season. The al falfa, of course, produces three crops and we generally manage to get two and sometimes three crops for soiling purposes. "All animals are fed In the stable the year round, with outdoor exercise every day, and all maneur Is drawn and spread upon the land every day, and It may readily be Imagined that the land Is rapidly increasing In fer tility." WHAT THE PEOPLE DID. Twelve laws and constitutional amendments enacted by the people at the election June 1, have been In effect since Tuesday, June 23, when Governor Chamberlain Issued a proc lamation declaring them to be a part of the laws of the state. Taking them In the order that they were promulgated by the secre tary of state, It will be seen that the time for holding the general elections will be on the first Tuesday after the first Monday In November, Instead of the first Monday In June. Consequently the next general elec tion will be held In November of 1910. By reason of this change primary elections for the nomination of state( and county officers will In the future be held In September, the primary law fixing the time for holding the primaries at the 45th day before any general election. By virtue of the same vote of the people the University of Oregon Is safe In its appropriation of $125,000 for 1907 and of the same amount for each year thereafter. It is now possible for all public officials who are not doing their duty under the law and custom to be recalled by the voters who are dis gruntled over their failure to fulfill the oaths taken. Public Interest Is on edge waiting to see which part of the state the recall will strike first. The statute Instructing the mem bers of the legislature to vote for that United States senatorial candi date who receives the highest num ber of votes at the general election is also a law. It will not be binding upon the -members of the legislature elected In June. The corrupt practice act Is now a law and from this time on it Is Ille gal to 'offer a cigar to prospective voters and political supporters. In fact. It is illegal to do anything ex cept silently cast a ballot In the box or at least nearly as close drawn a condition as that. Hereafter campaigns are to be conducted through the secretary of state and state printer so far as ad vertising Is concerned. The state printer Is to make pamphlets putting forth the claims of the various can didates as to why they should be elected. The cost of pamphlets Is to be borne by candidates who are to pay from $50 to $100 a page for their space. The secretary of state will mail" the pamphlets to the registered voters a few days before the primaries and another set shortly before the gen eral election. Grand Juries have come back to the people of the state and the dis trict attorney of any district Is not empowered, to sit as a grand jury from this time cm. All Indictments are now to be returned by Juries and the filing of information on the com plaint of the district attorney Is (I thing of the past. Hood River county is In good working order and is running under the administration of a set of offi cials appointed by the governor not long ago. In the Pendleton Tribune of this morning was a clipping from the London Globe including a verse from the Bible, purporting to contain every letter of the alphabet The East Or- igonlan regrets to fce compelled to question the eyesight, understanding and wisdom of such papers as the Tribune and the Globe, but this verse has been prayerfully studied all day today and the faltering understand ing of the East Oregonlan fails to discover the letter "J" anywhere In the verse. The selection Is taken from the 21st verse, 17th chapter of the Book of Ezra and Is as follows: "And I, even I, Artaxerxes, the king, do make a decree to all the treasur ers which are beyond the river, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scrlbo of the law of God of 'heaven, shall tequlre of you, It shall be done speed ily." The verso does not contain "every letter," and therefore the quo tation and statement are Incorrect. BIGGEST WOOL SALE. The largest sale of wool ever mado In America and the largest transac tion between a grower and purchaser in modern times was the 2,000,000 pound transaction between Charlie Balr, of Billings, Mont., and Sllber man Bros., of Chicago. Mr. Bulr was a delegate to the recent Republican convention, and quickly accepted the sixteen cent offer made by Chicago's big wol house. One million pounds of this wool re presented Bairs own clip, and the other million pounds the wool grown by companies in which Mr. Bulr Is largely Interested. It is a notable sale In every respect It Is said that the Bair clip Is the finest In Montana this year. .To transport this wool will require 100 cars with the average capacity of 20.000 pounds per car. Chicago Is big In all things and Sllberman Bros., have certainly carried off the palm for Chicago's wool market. The payment of $320,000 for a single purchase of wool is no small financial transaction The "Boston Johnlcs," who have scorned the "little provincial Chicago wool market," will please sit up and take notice.

One of them Is a preparatory crop of cow peas, another Is a preparatory crop of sweet clover, and the other Is1 a nurse crop of rape from a seeding of about one pound of rape per acre sown broadcast after the alflafa seed ing. The latter never falls to bring a good stand. The preparatory crops mentioned furnish the perfect Innocu latlon of the soil ort which a practical ly sure seeding of alflafa Is predicted A final condition to success Is a clean perfectly prepared seed bed. Then sow In July or early In August and you may stand still and see the glory of the Lord. American Farmer. A PROPHECY. I see Freedom's established reign; cities and men.

Architectural plans have arrived in Baker City and this evening there will be a meeting of the city council to determine upon details prior to be ginning erection of the library build ing, says the Baker City Herald. It Is understood that Mr. Carnegie has arranged for the money necessary to build the library and as soon as the city Is ready the work will begin. There has been much comment on the new structure and Baker City people take kindly, It Is thought, to the original plans suggested. A firm from Boise secured the contract and they will probably be represented this evening at the council meeting which is called for this single purpose. In every parade a very tall man walks beside a very short one. The Modesty of Women .Naturally makes them shrink from the indelicate questions, the obnoxious ex aminations, and unpleasant local treat ments, which some physicians consider Bssentlal in the treatment of diseases of women. Yet, If help can be had, it Is better to submit to this ordeal than let the disease grow and spread. The trouble is that so often the woman undergoes all the annoyance and shame for nothing.

CONCRETE FOR BOATS. It Is predicted that the use of con crete in boat building will largely take the place of iron and steel Large boats of reinforced concrete have been built already In Italy, and five of these, of 120 tons and more, are In commission In the Italian navy. The first of these boats, a 120-ton barge, was built In 1906, on the plans of Mr. Gabelllnl, an' Italian who has Pendleton's Passenger Time Card Arriving Pendleton O. R. & N.
