Poem by Joaquin Miller that yearns for a homeland in sunlit Oregon mountains. The speaker invokes Shasta and Saint Helens, credits the land of the plain and pine, and hopes for a tented retreat among trees, vines, and sunlit vistas.
Two local ministers in Pendleton swapped pulpits last Sunday to better know their communities. The piece argues such exchanges would yield greater trust among merchants, barbers, grocers, and other leaders by revealing their routines, finances, and customers, highlighting a need for cross‑sector openness in 20th century business life.
In a broad call for trust and openness amid commerce, the piece urges preachers and business leaders to mingle more, exchange views and funds, and drop secrecy. It highlights Judge Hartman and Assessor Strain's remarks on county finances, debt reduction, and a four year policy to continue economy. It discusses Eastern Oregon fairs, state fair circuits, and the need for electricity competition. It notes Pendleton’s role, Morrow and Umatilla unity ideas, and Holbrook's control of the Oregon Irrigator with Republican backing.
Frederic Lockley surveys wealth and luxury, citing Mrs. Gould’s jewel trove and 50 rings, then condemns social inequity. He argues government must ensure justice, laments extravagant living while the poor suffer, and proposes limited partnership and cooperative reform as remedies, invoking Bishop Potter and divine guidance.
The county will likely aid the defeat of the party due to absence of a party organ after Holbrook sacrificed democratic principles for land office patronage. He has no claim on irrigators in Uma_tilla County who have stayed aloof from his association.
A poem narrates hungry hearts seeking love and pity amid hardship. It contrasts the outward bravado of some with inward hunger, noting unspoken grief, phantom mockery, and the quiet endurance of those unseen. The concluding line hints at judgment and reward, urging compassion for the afflicted.
United States Consul Warner at Leipzig reports the Trans Siberian loop near Lake Baikal far from finished with 44 miles laid and 115 miles more to build. He notes rail only routes will delay troop and passenger transport, giving distances from the Russo Siberian frontier to Irkutsk 2078 miles and to Vladivostok 4670 miles after completion.
