A reflective verse laments neglect of the underdog and the losing side as society honors power and fate. The piece contemplates crowds, desire, and the elusive encouragement that rarely comes to those who fail to win.
A critical article denounces Oregon for selling 25 000 acres of state school lands in Umatilla County at 4 25 per acre. It argues the land could fetch higher rents and that graft and mismanagement depleted the public school fund. It calls for an inheritance tax to replenish the treasury and questions accountability over a quarter century.
The United States government will establish an experiment station on the East Timatilla irrigation project. A tract will be set aside for this purpose to study crops suited to semi-tropic and temperate zones. Government experts will assist in instituting experimental crops and irrigation phases, exploring plant life and irrigation evolutions.
A 40 acre tract will serve as a touchstone for the irrigation belt of eastern Oregon. New forage crops and water application methods will be tested to show arid soil potential. Crops will grow under varied conditions to prove viable choices and promote home-building and stable farm life in Umatilla County.
Umatilla county residents returning from Los Angeles report harsh winter conditions there and superior comfort at home. They claim California weather is dismal and pneumonia and rheumatism risks rise, and plan to stay in Pendleton with better homes and luxuries, reducing future California travel.

The Troy Press concurs that without an unrestrained hand on either side oppression and greed threaten justice, urging wise employers and employees to act in mutual welfare for long term prosperity.
A fragmentary poem by Lloyd Roberts appears in Everybody's Magazine for February. It narrates a tale of a captain left in palace grounds among a defeated people, a confrontation at the gate, and a chaste resolve as the blade remains against her honor. The speaker is returned at sunset on a couch of spears with Jaldime at her feet and a shift from laughter to tears. The poem ends with the soul passing beyond the night.
In a cave interview, Juptka Geteh explains Ghargaroo’s ethics where the king owns all wealth and redistributes it via local officers who judge merit. Wealth is a trap, luxury is punished, and the righteous may die on demand. The speaker notes the regime’s extreme poverty and perverse incentives, contrasting with his own country’s values.
Seattle Star argues against claims that government rate laws would cripple railroads and lower wages. It contends railroads should prosper without heavy rents, and that honest rates protect the public from railroad abuses while resisting municipal ownership and gas price hikes.
In Death Valley the most abundant bloom is the cneti, a plant whose dry stalks spring to life with a touch, exhibiting a rapid, striking display of growth. The life of a single cneti embodies themes of death and renewal as it unfolds in arid conditions.
