Kvt-ry lime tho cluset uf your neigh-
bur is opened a littlo you strain your
neck and afterward strain your tongue
In talking about It. Do you ever stop
to think that tome day a tragedy may
take up its abode in your home? Can't
you get it into your head that some
day the tonguo of slander may cut like
a sharp sword. Misfortune and dis-
grace may have overtaken your neigh-
bor but it does not become you to get
on the. hmisetopa and shout it the the
world. Y" ii will not be called to piy
for nur ansor for any of the sins of
your neighbors You have all yuu can
attend to to pay for your oun mdisere
turns Somo day ono near and dear to
you may fall the prison walls may
open to a sou or the scarlet of eternity
blight n daughter. When a home is in
mourning over a tragedy tho best tiling
you can do is to keep your mouth shut
unless you can say something that will
como as a rift in the clouds The only
auierencc is mat your neighbor was
caught and you up to date have kept
the flash light away Be charitable
for you know not the day nor the hour
when the blight will happen in your
circle. In Beaver county are those
who thoughtlessly porhaps drop a re-
mark that causes heartaches sleepless
nights and sulToring on the part of
their neighbors when in reality all the
authority for the remark is that "they
say so and-so " When people learn
the lesson that unless one can speak
well of another not to speak at all
thero will be more happiness in the
world and fewer divorce cases And
then tho satisfaction that one enjoys
at having performed a kind uct or
spoken a kind word carries with it its
own reward Try it and see how much
brighter tho world will appear to yuu.

Bad Reports from Northwest.
The following letter from J. E Rob- '
erl. formerly of Beaver county to his
neighbor W. F. Smith gives bad .re-
port from the northwest and may
allay the fever of rows of our people
whose minds are wandering in that di-
rection .
Heppner. Ore.. July IR. 103
W F. Smith and Family.
Dear Folk.
I thought I had better write you
while I had more time than money and
may be of interest to you and will be a
rest on my mind. I Just as well tell
yju about this part of the country first.
I am in.the north cent-al part of the
state fifty miles south of the Columbia
river and IPS miles east and a little j
south of Portland in one of .the dryest
counties in the state. The average an-
nual precipitation Is a little less than
9 inches and their is as many Russian
thistles here as there but as it don't
rain much they don't gel very Urge
Now next month is when they get
their hot winds they always come from
the east here and their dust storms
from the west and I have seen three of
them since I have been up here and if
they had a much land in cultivation
as we do they wouldn't have any land
for usually the upland soil is only ft to
IS inches deep and underneath that
lays rock There is large scopes of
country here that water cannot be
found on and some of the wells have
been drilled down 1400 feet and never
struck a drop. There are very few
springs here and vo timber of any kind
until you get back up near the Blue
mountains south of here 15 or 211 miles
then the timber is red fir and white
pine. Thero is some coal twenty miles
east of here and they nsk from $50 00
to 100 00 per Acre for their Alfalfa land
and from 7 00 to HO 00 per acre for
their wheat land nnd can't even raise
maize or kaflir. I'll tell you right now
no one lias to take my word for this it
is hero to show for Itself. If the west
ern pnit ot Uklalioma. ana Ueaver
county in particular would ask just
one-half the price for her land com-
pared with what she raises in crops
why we would be getting $75 00 and
$100 00 per acre and wo don't have to
summer-fallow and wo always get
water in our wells and not very
deep either. Land is cheaper in Bea-
ver county than anywhere west of the
Rockies so far as I have seen. Har-
vest wages range from $3 60 per day
nnd board up to 17 00 per day and har-
vest lasts from 0 to 10 weeks. All
grain has to bo sacked here that is
another 10 cents on the cut; expense
that we don't havo to have there. Farm
machinery is oup-lifth higher toe.
Their average wheat yield is about 12
bushels per acre I will close for this
tune from your (riend
