And our only faith be fear, Though we see the darkness gathering, And the daylight disappear. Let us drink the cup of nectar, That a kindly fato has sent, While we walk the path of duty In the garden of content. Let us stand not In the shadow, Because the sun must set, 4 Nor linger In the narrow 4 4 Thorn-strewn highway of re- 4 4 gret. 4 4 The red rose of tomorrow 4 4 Is but a bud today, 4 4 And the darkening clouds of 4 4 sorrow, 4 4 Are but here to drift away. 4 4 Arthur G. Lewis. 4 4 4 4444 44 4444444444 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. v .- .. THE MODERN CITY.

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. Harper's Weekly. 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. Tn movlnar don't foriret your cat. COMMON SENSE telllcent Deonle to use Onlf Down composition.

"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 are domesticated. COOL OFF! to turn your kitchen In a breezes all summer long.
