Though we see the darkness
gathering,
And the daylight disappear.

In the garden of content.

WELCOME .MR. 1LVRRI.MAN.
Mr. Harriman, the railroad -magnate,
Is coming to Oregon. The press
dispatches announce he Is coming
like a caged criminal, inaccessible to
the public, secluded. Isolated, hidden
away In the recesses of a private train,
not to be een or heard or Interview
ed.
But let him come. He Is welcome,
and he isn't welcome: we like him,
and we don't like him; he Is both a
benefactor and curse to Oregon; he
has done some of the worst and oest
things for the state; he has made It
forge ahead and has smothered out
its Industrial life; he has blessed and
blighted Oregon; he has planted In
dustrial seed and he has kept entire
counties in desolation; with one hand
he has been a charitable empire
builder, with the other a miserly
blood-sucker; one of tils Janus faces
looks out on the green fields which
his industry has created, the other
looks on desolate wastes which his
financial tyranny and selfishness, have
created and perpetuated; he is a par
adox, a contradiction, a delusion.
We expect something from him In
one breath and we expect nothing
from him the next moment; we have
his promise in words and his refusal
In actions; we listen in rapture to his
flattering phrases and we hate him
for the very emptiness of his phrases;
he Is the biggest and the smallest man
In the financial world today; he is
the broadest and the narrowest, the
shallowest and the deepest character
before the public.
We are glad he Is coming and again
we don't-care; it will mean something
for the state and yet we know It will
mean absolutely nothing; we will look
ahead to his coming with pride and
hate ourselves for It, after his sump
tuous train has passed and he has
pulled down his window blind and
forgotten us.
ARE WE FORGETTING?
A few years ago, before the govern,
ment had taken hold of the subject
of Irrigation In the west, enthusiasm
for the National Irrigation association
and its great work, was at high tldft
In western states. Such Is not the
case now. The association is strug
gling along with but slight support or
co-operation from many of the lead
ing Irrigation states.
It was the work of the National Ir
rigation association which brought
forth the reclamation department,
which sowed the seed of government
irrigation, which gave birth to the
great project no under way In the
west.
Are we forgetting our benefactor
so soon? Now that the work of the
association has accomplished so much
for u, are we to forsake the organi
sation, let it languish when there la
much for It to do in the future?
Other state need it and must have
lta invigorating Influence to start the
reclamation of their lands.
The lth annual convention of the
association wiU be, held at Albuquer-
jue. N, M., in the heart of the arid
belt, September 21 to October I, and
every western county and state should
be represented.
The work of the association has not
been completed. The reclamation of
the west Is not yet achievod, practical
and modern Irrigation laws aro rftcd
ed In states and nation, and the great
timber, range ami water resources of
the country i"i" he protected from
corporate greed.
(So there is yet work to do. Let u
t'.ppolnt delegates and take part !
the work of this organization until
there Is not an acre of desert land re
maining in the west!
THE LITERARY SEWERS.
Every week announces the arrival
of a new sensation In the disgraceful
fiction produced by the writers of to-
.lay. "Three Weeks" has had Its dis
gusting fame nmong a certain class of
people who feed on literary garbage
and now "Five Days" and "Julie's
Diary" are here.
It Is said that both of these latter
alleged novels exceed In vulgarly and
depraved suggestions "Three Weeks"
and of course they have a "run"
through the book stores If booksellers
can be found who will peddle them
to the public.
It Is strange that with all the whole,
some fields of fiction to choose from,
a certain class of writers and a cer
tain class of readers choose to feed
on the literary sewage, the garbage
dumps, the filth heaps of literature.
Sometimes It seems necessary to
have a literary censor for the United
States, to Insure a more rigid regula
tion of the output of filthy stuff
which Is Intended to deprave the
minds and characters of all who
come Into touch with it.
In reviewing a number of these un
wholesome novels, Goodwin's Weekly
of Salt Lake City, says:
If up to date you liave failed to
read Elinor Glyn's "Three Weeks,"
you may as well save time, trouble
and several thrills. Besides two new
books 'that are Just off the press In
'the east, "Three Weeks" takes Its
place with "Black Beauty" and stan
dard nursery publications. "Five
Days" and "Julie's Diary" are the two
new brain feeders.
The majority of the chapters In
both are what the stars In "Three
Weeks" indicate. Town Talk declares
"Julie's Diary" ought to be called
"The Happy Harlot," so rapturously
and determinedly does Julie set about
to accomplish her own seduction.
Both books are about the end of the
limit.
MOCKERY OF POLITICS.
Taft a member of the Shovelers'
union, and Bryan a member of the
Typographical union are the latest
freaks in dignified politics.
This is what a good manager would
call "polite vaudeville."- It is dis
gusting and yet many good people
tolerate It and declare they enjoy it
It seems unreasonable to believe
that sensible, fearless men such as
Taft and Bryan must be, would not
revolt at these frivolous tricks to cap
ture the labor vote. It seems that
both would continue to stand Just
where they stood before their nomi.
nations, and would not stoop nbr
truckle for the help of those whom
they never associate with nor recog
nize except in campaigns.
To the sensible laborer the acts of
Taft and Bryan In Joining or permit
ting themselves to be "Joined" to
these unions should be repulsive. And
as for the feelings of Taft and Bryan
In contemplating such miserable
fawning, it seems that language would
be inadequate to express them.
Pendleton will welcome an electric
line from any direction, east, west,
north or south, and there should, be
no discrimination or favoritism In the
matter of franchises. Any legitimate
company which promises to "make
good" should be welcomed and en
couraged. Pendleton needs this par
ticular sort of development to com
plete her public facilities and every
thing possible should be done-to con
nect this city with the distant por
tions of the county by electric line.
Pendleton does not care who builds
them or operates them, Juat so they
are operated.
A well organized forestry depart
ment and fire fighting force In the
Canadian Rockies might have pre
vented the terrible loss of life and
property by fire in the Fernle district
Such calamities seem so wholly un
necessary, If only governments would
exercise ordinary foresight and com
mon sense. Perhaps two or three
fire-fighters on duty would have stop
ped the terrible conflagration, before
It gained headway.

I N RUM EM HER ED M AINE.
To every American who enters the
harbor of Havana, whether It be for
the first time or the twentieth, there
comes a moment when a silence takes
hold of htm as he stares and stares
across the greasy waters. It Is when
his searching eyes encounter the dis
torted mass of wreckage, with the
w heeling birds above it, that, marks
the Maine. Ills mind flushes back
when the whole United States shoo';
with, the explosion which destroyed
her.
Remember the Maine!"
That was the cry to which a war
was waged. Ami the watcher at the
steamer's rail finds himself repeat
ing it. Its sharp, clear syllables beat
out the roar of twin guns In u turret,
the meaesured lap of the drum, the
step of advancing men. Then In an
instant his thoughts suing to his own
day and hour, and as he gazes before
li i in the words that ten years ago
were a nation's call to'nrms are now
the whispering of waters in the cran
nies of a wreck.
Ten years Is a short time in which
to forget so much; but Just so long
has the shattered Maine, lain in the
harbor of Havana, forgotten. We
were bidden so eagerly, so Insistently,
to remember, and now, her Inflam
matory task accomplished, we have
left her to herself and to the 63
men who are berthed with her In
the clutch of the harbor mud.
Why has the government not rais
ed the wreck of the Maine? That Is
the question the watcher asks him
self, and the question is as old as
the admonition to remember. If
there be an answer, the government
has "never made It, and nothing has
yet served to compel an answer.

A Few KKciien Hints.
To test coffee A teaspoonful of
ground coffee placed In a cup of
cold water will not If pure discolor
the water In the least; but If chic
ory Is present, the water will take on
a brownish hue.
To test cocoa The usual adulter
ant of cocoa Is starch. If a cupful of
boiling water Is poured over a tea
spoonful of cocoat the sediment that
remains after cooling should be pow
dery, not sticky, not cohesive. But
If the cocoa Is adulterated, the sedi
ment Is a cohesive, glutinous mass.
A piece of linen dipped In such a sed
iment will when Ironed be as stiff as
a board.
To test sugar .-Pure sugar will dis
solve In water. Any Indissoluble sub
stance, therefore, must be an adul
teration. Sugar can also be tested by
fire. Pure sugar burns quite away.
An ash that absolutely resists the
flames Is some Impurity that the re
finers have left in.
To test butter Pure butter, set out
In the summer sunshine, will not melt
under a temperature of 95 degrees,
and then the liquid it becomes Is
sweet and wholesome. Adulterated
butter melts at 88 degrees Into a
liquid with a repulsive odor. New
Orleans Times-Democrat .
It Was Good.
The following story Is told of Jay
Gould: Tears ago Jay Gould went to
Holland. He went to meet the di
rectors of a certain railroad In Amer
ica. y They met him by appointment.
He nsked them If they cared to sell
their railroad In America. They said
yes, they would sell It for $14,000,000.
Mr. Gouldr quietly pulled a check
book from his pocket, filled a check
for that amount and signed It, and
passing It over said, "I am a little
busy. Will you kindly fix the trans
fers and forward them o New
York?" and went out of the room.
The old Dutchmen sat paralyzed.
They could not. realize for the time
being that the railroad was sold and
they had the money. They at once
telegraphed to the Bank of England
aking If the'eheck of Mr. Jay Gould
for 114, 000,000 would be honored.
The answer was flashed back that It
would, and, for a very much larger
amount provided they could get It.
Dutchmen were hurt. They thought
that at least a week should have
been consumed In preliminaries and
final adjustments.

"The Friend of Farmers and Stockmen" ,
A SONG OF YOUTH.
I met- Touth in a garden wild,
With roses tangled In her hair,
"Kiss me," she said, "for I am
fair."
But laughingly I went my way.
And heeded not the words she said;
What was her smile to me that day,
Her mischievous sweet mouth so
red?
I went my way with dreaming eyes,
Oh, light of heart I was, yet shy,
But not too old and not too wise,
To miss the rainbows In the sky.
I went my way with dancing feet,
For I was slow to learn the truth,
That fame, and love, and song are
sweet.
But not more thrilling sweet than
youth.
Olive Constance.
GlIDE POSTS TO PEACE.
To be glad of life because It gives
you the chance to love and. to work
and to play and to look up at the
stars; to be satisfied with your posses
sions, but not contented with your.
self until you have made the best of
them; to despise nothing In the world
except falsehood and meanness, and
to fear .nothing except cowardice; to
be governed by your admirations
rather than by your disgusts; to covet
nothing that I your neighbor's except
his kindness of heart and gentleness
of manners; to think seldom of. your
enemies, often of your friends, and
every day of Christ; and to spend as
much time as you can, with body and
with spirit In God's out-of-doors;
these are little guide-posts on the
footpath to peace. Henry Van Dyke.
It Is a significant fact that parrots
never learn to swear until after they
