The thud of a league-long

And hear the shock of the king

On the wall of the mighty

From Sierra's snows to

Where pine and redwood

I'p at Weston they huve been fig
uring out the total amount of money
the normal school has received from
the state since the Inst'tution was
first established back in 1S1. It has
been found that during the IS years
since the eastern Oregon normal was
established the school has been given
by the state ;i sum in the neighbor
hood of $174,000. This amount cov
ers both buildings and maintenance,
though not the buildings and grounds
donated by the town of Weston.
It is understood that the other nor
null schools have not been even as
fortunate as Weston. During the past
two years Monmouth has boon run-
n'ng entirely on money from private
sources, it is very uouotiui ir tne
grand total of the normal school ap
propriations in the history of Oregon
amount to as much as JoOO.OOO, the
amount that was appropriated for the
Lew is & Clark fair.
This is the extent of the normal
school "graft." In 20 years the nor
mal schools have not used more
money than was voted at one time
for the benefit of Portland. Yet the
I affairs of the normal schools have
) been so misrepresented by their ene-
inies that the average man has got
ten the impression that each normal
j ! as been getting about a half million
from the state every two years.
"Truth is mighty," says an old pro-
xerb. But so Is a persistent libel.
FOREVER AM) A MY.
I little know or care
If the blackbird on the bough
Is filling all the air
With his soft crescendo now;
For she Is gone away,
And when she wont she took
The springtime In her look.
The peachblow on her cheek.
The laughter from the brook.
The blue from out the May
And what she calls a week
Is forever and a day!
It's little thnt I mind
How the blossoms, pink or white.
At every touch of wind
Fall a-trembllng with delight;
For In the leafy lane,
lieiieath the garden boughs.
And through the silent house
One thing alone I seek,
I'ntil she comes again
And what she calls a week
Is firevcr and n day!

THE OPEN ROAD.
There Is a good road leading down,
An old brown road from a good
old town;
Shaded and shadowed by restful
trees.
That softly talk to the fresh young
breeze;
And sometimes when my heart Is sad.
And all the city looks old and gray.
I shall leave the work which drives
one mad.
And take that good road leading
away,
And follow it on through the ri
pening day.
Until my soul comes bad; to me
My soul which is fettered here and
bound
As to Iron wheels by the city's
sound
Ml straight and smooth nnd free.

NEED OF SOIL sriIVEYS.
I From all ovtr the Tinted States
! rmuests are now being made for soil
surveys. The success of past . govern
; mental work along this line has caus-
ed a widespread demand for further
work. I'ow n in th south much In
terest Is being taken in the subject

fact that there is such a th'ng as sci-

proper mood to help "soak" some
thing else. Right now some Portland
people are out with a move to change
the capital from Salem to Portland
and they are appealing to normal
school people to get even with Salem
by voting to change the capital. That
this would be a poor way indeed to
take revenge for the defeat of the nor
mala has been shown before by the
East Oregonian. Portland influences
caused the defeat of the normals.
But the very Idea of using the in!
ative or referendum for purposes of
revenge is in itself vicious. The ini
tiative and referendum were never
intended as clubs to be used for se
curing revenge. The use of them for
such purpose should be sharply dis
couraged. Should it become the cus
tom for dissatisfied people to go out
with an initiative or referendum pe
tition every time something goes
wrong the state will be thrown into
helpless turmoil.
Then there is the danger that the
wrong people will get "soaked." Take
for instance, the movement to re
move the capital. It would be the
height of folly for normal school peo
ple to favor this move in order to take
revenge on Senator Smith of Marion
county. Marion county had but one
senator who opposed the normal
schools, while Multnomah county had
six.
The success of the initiat've and
referendum depends upon coolness
and good Judgment of the people.
They are good things if properly used.
They furnish a wholesome check up
on the legislature. But if the Initia
tive and referendum are to be In
voked indiscriminately and some
time? purely for purposes of revenge
there will be no end to the trouble that
w'li ensue.
WHY NOT WAKE UP?
People who are now eomjng west
ward declare they have heard much
more about the irrigated sections of
Idaho nrid Washington than about
those 'f Oregon. This Is largely be
cause the various irrigation compa
nies having lands to Ke have been
lax in the matt' r of advertising. Few
of the concern in the west end of this
county have ever done any really
vgorous advertising, even in local
papers, though rnu' h free publicity
has b en given thorn by the East Ore
gonian and other papers of the coun
ty. When over 2000 homeseeker
readied this point one day last week
the only real estate advertisements
being run in the local papers were one
for an Alberta land company, one for
a I'.li hland, Wash., company, and one
for the Hatiford, Wah., project. In
cidentally it might be mentioned that
much Pendleton money la being in
vested In all of those places. This Is
soil surveys during the last session of
congress. Upon the same subject the
Atlanta Constitution recently said:
"Few farmers know anything about
the chemistry of the land with which
they are dealing. They know from
experience what one of tyo or three
different crops thrive best upon it,
but generally they are Ignorant of
the particular growth to which It Is
best adapted.
' "When scientific investigation de
velops the fact that land which has
been valued at no more than $5 an
acre is worth, as the result of discov
ery of its peculair adaptability, from
1 100 to J 2000, the importance of this
work cannot be overestimated.
"There are now on file with the
bureau of soils in the national depart
ment of agriculture more than 500
requests for soil surveys, affecting an
area of more than 500,000 square miles
f territory, but with the present
force and appropriation at the bu
reau's d'sposal it would require more
than 10 years to make these investi
gations." Not many months ago the Pendle
ton Commercial association joined in
a request for a soil survey for Uma
tilla county. It is too bad the force
available for this work is not suffi
cient to carry on the work with more
speed.

LOST AMERICAN CULTURE.
A woman journalist at the Calany
Club was praising Mrs. Taft.
"She will form a salon nt the White
House," said the Journalist. "Wash
ington, under her regime, will become
the center of art and letters as well
as the center of politics.
"She deplored during my intsrvlew
the scohn of culture that marks our
ul'ra-smart set. She said it had not
always been so. She cited Harriet
Lane Johnson as a typical society
woman of culture in the past.
"When Mrs. Lane, she said, lived

THE IH)VER OK WATER.
Those who look into the future
with prophetic eyes predict than an
age of water-power Is dawning. They
point wisely towards the great water
power developments already com
pleted or In course of construction all
over the world, from the rivers of
Maine to the canyons of California,
from Alaska to Argentine and from
the Kashmir Valley In India to the
outlet of Victoria Xyanza In Africa.
And they back up their arguments
with 'the, statement that coal will lie
exhausted early In the next century
and that mineral oil and natural gas
will vanish with the coal.
Amid all this prognosticating nnd
arguing arises a host of questions
about this water-power which is to
keep us from freezing In the next
century, to turn the wheels of our in
dustry, to prepare the food and to
run our vehicles.
Every stream of running water
from the trout brook sporting through
the. farm meadows to the largest riv
ers, Is capable of producing more or
less power. A hundred years ago,
when steam power was still In Its in
fancy, water power was quite exten
sively developed In this country but
the steam engine, with cheap wood
m.d coal fuel, quickly reached tha
practical stage and the old "over
shot" and "under-shot" water-wheels
were abandoned. Up to a few years
ago it was not practical to develop
most water power because this jiower
had to utilized on the spot and very
naturally the very best water falls

of miles away from t'.ie se.iports. the

tric transformer changed all this and
made it possible to transmit this en
ergy for hundreds of miles without
serious loss. Selected.

THE TIME-A-l'HONE.
One of t lie many novelties exhibited
at the Chicago Electrical Show was
the time-n-phone. Attached to one
of the posts of a booth was a small de
vice about the size of a watch case
but looking like a small telephone re
ceiver. The receiver was connected
to ,i small green cord of Insulated wire.
When this device was held to the ear
nnd a button pushed the listener
could hear the exact time of day. A
set of musical chimes strike the hour
n set of double gongs give the quarters
and a high-pitched bell tolls off the
minutes. To a man In the dark the
time-a-phone tells the time to a min
ute. It Is planned to use this Invett
i ion In hotels where each room w ill
be prov'ded with one of the Instru
ments connected to a master clock In
the basement. The-- time-a-phone Is
placed under the pillow and any guest
wishing to know the hour has only to
apply the receiver to the ear nnd press
n button. Electrical News.
