There is hope ahead for Pendleton. There has always been, but just now the prospects seem brighter than they have been for many months. If the Washington & Oregon traction com pany succeeds in carrying out the work it has in view this city will soon be out of the valley of depres sion and pessimism and will be rolling swiftly along the highway of prosper ity and progress. Last night the representatives of j the traction company explained to lo-i cal people their plans regarding this city. The company has a power site capable of developing elht thousand horse power. They want to develop that power and sell the electricity they will generate. Pendleton affords them a desirable market. So they want to establish a traction system with this city as their base and also supply this city with electricity for power and lighting purposes. Though the original backers of the "Washington & Oregon company are Walla Walla men yet the company wants lo come here and their reasons for this are plausible. Walla Walla has been unfriendly to them. Then they will not have enough power to Justify trying to serve both Walla Walla and Pendleton. So they would rather come here and leave Walla Walla to the Northwestern gas & elec tric company. After they go Into bus iness here they will quite naturally want this city to grow and prosper and they will work to that end. They promise to establish a park at the outset and ultimately to run electric lines out in various directions from this city. In asking some financial backing from the people of this city the trac tion people are plainly within their rights. Their enterprise will mean everything to Pendleton and local people may well afford to assist In financing it. As a matter of fact lo cal realty owners and capitalists would not be going amiss If they fi nanced the enterprise entirely or at least took a controlling Interest! How. ever the company poses as willing to put up most of the money and like wise willing to make their plans con form to the wishes of the people of this city. If when put to the test the Wash ington & Oregon company shows Itself as cordial towards Pendleton as Its representatives aver then there should be no hesitancy. The people of Pen dleton should get behind the enter prise and assist with their Influence and their money In making It a suc cess. TOE GREAT ELIXIR. The glowing predictions of future growth and development for Pendle ton and Umatilla county In the event a traction system Is established with Pendleton a the base may well be taken at full value. The experience of other section that have been blessed with electric roads show con rlnclngly the benefits resulting from uch lines. Walla Walla11 and the Walla Walla valley offer evidence up- on this subject nnd so do the sections of the Willamette valley where trac tion lines have been established. For the close development of any country and for the up building of any city to anything like xmetropoll tan proportions electricity is an In (lespensible element. A city must have traction linos and it must have power for lighting and manufactur ing purposes. Without ample elec tricity nnd traction facilities no city can row beyond rural proportions. The growth of Pendleton has been blocked temporarily by the" lack of facilities that have been enjoyed by Walla Walla and some other small cities of the northwest. Otherwise this place would now be a city of 15, 000 or 20,000 people. In a geographical sense Pendleton is one of the most favored cities of the west. It has natural advantages far superior to those of Walla Walla. This is a railroad center while Walla Walla is but a branch line town and can never be anything more. Then Pendleton has a far larger tributary country than has, the Gar ren City. Pendleton Is not only the commercial center of Umatilla county but of eastern Orcson. To the south and to the west there are great regi ons awaiting development. In the ir rigated sections of the west end set tlement Is already underway and the future will reveal a population of which few people now dream. Give Pendleton proper traction fa cilities and this city will be forever the commercial hub of this mighty "l-re. uive u tne requisite electri cal power and this city will become the best manufacturing town of the north west. With proper power and proper traction facilities Pendleton will be to eastern Oregon what Spokane is to Washington. Electricity Is the breath of life to any community. It Is the great elixir that transforms as by magic barren wastes into fertile fields and shambling towns into bustling cities. Pendleton needs some of this golden elixir right now. CYCLONES ANI TOltXADOES That was a small cyclone at Adam." yesterday, it was not a tornado. There i.t a quite common misunderstanding regarding the nature of cyclones and tornadoes. A cyclone is nothing more or less than a heavy wind. But the average man believes cyclones to he "twisters-" such as sweep through Kansas and Nebraska taking every thing before them. On the contrary the rapidly whirling, progressing storms are tornadoes. The north west is not afflicted with tornadoes, thank God. Pendleton can i!l afford to lose such men as W. J. Furnish. But fotnc day this city will be large enough and uf- ficiontiy attractive as a residence town that people will not move away, rcople will then come here from Port land to reside after having retired from the bustle and strife of active life. In western Oregon the rains have resulted in heavy floods and much damage is being inflicted. Though the rainfall in this section has like wise been heavy eastern Oregon has been free from losses from floods this season. THE ENGLISH IX AFKICA. The Engl'sh rule in Africa has been of incalculable benefit to Africans themselves, and indeed this is true of the rule of most European nations. Mistakes have been made, of course, but they have proceeded at least as often from an unwise effort to ac complish too much in the way of beneficence, as from a desire to ex ploit the natives. Each of the civilized nations that has taken possession of any part of Africa has had Its own peculiar good ejualities and Its own peculiar defects. Some of them have done too much In supervising and ordering the lives of the natives, and in interfering with their practices and customs. The Eng lish error, like our own under sim ilar conditions, has, if anything, been in the other direction. The effort has been to avoid wherever possible all Interference with tribal customs, even when of an immoral and repul sive character, and to do no more than what is obviously necessary, such as Insistence upon keeping the peace, and preventing the spread of cattle disease. Excellent reasons can be advanced In favor of this policy, and It must always be remembered that a fussy and Ill-considered benevolence !s more sure to awaken resentment than cruelty Itself; while the natives are apt to resent deeply even things that are obviously for their ultimate welfare. Tet I cannot help thinking that with caution and wisdom It would be possible to proceed some what farther than hag yet been the case In the direction of pushing up ward some at least of the East Afri can tribes; nnd this though I recog nize fully that many of these tribes are of a low and brutalized type. Hav ing said this much In the way of crit icism, I wish to add my tribute of un stinted admiration for the disinter ested and efflc'ent work being dohe, alike in the Interest of the white man and the black, by the government of- f!r'als whom I mot in East Africa They are men In whom their country has every reason to feel a Just pride. From "African Game Trails" by Theodore Roosevelt In December (Christmas) Scribner. THE OAK OF CAKAIMKf, Many great men have come out ef old Warwickshire. Shakespeare is most famous of these, yet one who was even greater than he lived and wrought a mighty work a thousand years and more before the poet was born. . But the Stratford man was ever a curious dolver In old forgotten facts, wh'ch hi overlaid with Innu merable, fancies, and you may road n his books a fanciful storv of Cynibeline. or Cunobvi:n, real king of ancient Britain, and true father to Caradoc. Caradoc Is tho hero of Warwickshire. Although Master Shakespeare seems not to have heard him. It Is ever the world's loss that he did not, for his deft fingers would have woven a marvellous, beautiful web from the strange tangled threads that have fallen into my clumsy hands. Yet here they lie, on this clear Christmas morning in Warwick shire, and though you" find my handi work labored, you may know it is n labor of love. King Caradoc came out with his train and his troop of Druldlcal pr ests to rebuild the stronghold of Warwick on a beautiful dawning of May. Warwick had been founded bv 'the radiant Cymbellne," his father. a the truly radiant year when CUri.st was born; but It had been over thrown by the Romans in the strug gle about the tribute-money, describ- d by Siiakospeare himself. Cymbe- lme, from some strange whim of hap piness, had closed that warfare with the memorable words: Although the victor, we submit to Caesar, And to the Roman empire, promising To pay our wonted tribute. . . Laud we the gods; And let our crooked smokes climb to their nostrils From our bless'd altars. Publish we this peace To all our subjects. Set we forward. Let riair.in and a British cnslsn wr.vc Friendly together. So through Lud's town march: And In the temple of great Jupiter Our peace we'll ratify; seal It with feasts. Set on there? From "How Christmas Came into England" by James A. B. Scheier in December (Christmas) Scribner A lTtEXCH "nOlXETTT:." Do you know what a roulette is? In general, it means a gypsy caravan, but Its scope has become enlarged and sometimes It means a whole traveling theatrical company Some of the best comedians in the whole world have been evolved from the roulette. That was Perinot's beginning. His roulette consistel of three long rovered wagons. The rear wagon contain-1!! such rude ai.J trifling stage accessories as Perinot's plays demand ed. But Perinot. like Thespis in his cart, did nt require much scenery. In his last wagon rode the Poiilon broth ers very good actors, both of them, and handy men besides. Henri was tall and croao, while Oustave was so small, beardless, and pretty, that he could do women'3 parts extremely well. In. the next waenn rode, with the bedding and trunks, that excellent woman. Madame Toutant. with her husband and her son, Auguste. Mad ame Toutant was stout and larire walsted. but a capable actress. The audiences laughed nt her when she waddled on the stage, but before long her comic antics made them forget her stout figure and double chin, and they saw only her fine eyes and heard only her rich voice. Toutant himself was a dull respectable man, and Au guste the son was as near nothing as could he well imagined. He was beautiful beyond expression, perfect ly obedient to Madame Toutant as in deed was Toutant himself, and his beauty was an excellent foil to the fascinating ugliness of Perinot. In the first wagon rode In state Perinot, the proprietor of t'le whole outfit. With him rode Columbine. She had another name, 'hut It was generally forgotten by everybody in cluding herself. Columbine was pick ed up on the roadside one summer morning when she was sixteen years old. She was in rags and her toes were peeping through her shoes, and she was weeping vociferously as she watched a regiment marching away to the next town.
