Mephoae Main 1 "Friend, haven't you often worn goggles of blue And in seeing life's sham and its shame Have you felt it was all a big scramble, and you Might just as well get in the 'game' ? That nothing much counts but a big bunch of cash And the man that was good was a 'jay'; And the whole blooming country was going to smash Say, haven't you felt that way? "And haven't you felt it was hardly worth while To try to live up to your best? And haven't you smiled a cyni cal smile "While something 'way down in your breast Would whisper, that life was more precious than gold, And sweeter than fame or display, . And the faith that had slipped took a brand new hold Say, haven't you felt that way? "You have thought that the bat tle of life was but war And its pathway was rough and uphill; And diln't you turn your face to a star And manfully say. 'I WILL.' And weren't you stronger, and didn't you find It bi-tter, and didn't it pay To be patient and brave and cheery and kind Say, haven't you felt that way?" Selected. WE NEED IT SORELY. Anyone who has studied the "geo Tph7 of this section of eastern Ore goai and is familiar with the life of the country can readily appreciate (he Tast importance to Pendleton of having electric lines extending out from this city to the tributary coun try.' The establishment of a traction ajste-m with this place as the base of aperatlons is the one great step that BBBt be taken in order to insure feofleton's supremacy ae the chief ty of this part of the state. A line i seeded connecting the west end of Oae county with Pendleton. A line Is Is needed between Pendleton and Grant county, a line from Pendleton tm Eeppner would be valuable, and a Bae between Weston and Pendleton Is essential in order to insure for this By Its Just share of the , business sVam that region. At this time the Oregon-Washing-aaa company is ready, so Its repre tartatlves claim, to establish the nu cfcvs of such a traction system. Just at present this company's detailed tea is not before our people and it is ae ia order to discuss the same. But a bow seems that the negotiations a-mlch have been on so long will soon to brought to a head and that it will to ap to the people of this city to ac cept the company's offer or reject it. last what stand the local people are eiag to take with reference to this antler the next few days will re veal. It is safe to predict however, that if the company's scheme is as favorable to Pendleton as the traction saaa intimate the offer will be ac cpted. Pendleton has too much at stake to turn down any enterprise Aat promises so much for the ma- advancement of this city and Its Dundlng territory. AS rfVENT OF IMPORTANCE. Did you notice In yesterday's East 'Oregonlan an item to the effect that a. 1150 school house is to be built fta the new school district No. 112, at spon the Umatilla project T It wBI be a two room school house mod ems ia every particular. It will not to Ike tome of the rural school build, a in this county. A year ago there was not much but ge trash and desert where this new of learning la to be located. Now the country In that vicinity Is be. coming dotted everywhere with neat little houses. They nre not home stead Bhacks. They are dwelling hous es, wcatherbonrded and painted. Peo le are living In thorn and It will not bo long until they will have pleasantly surrounded homes. The erection of this modern school house out upon the Umatilla project ! an event of importance and It Is an event of which people may well take note. Some day there will be many school houses in the west end of this county and In that section there will be a school enumeration equal to the present enumeration for the entire county. KDICATEO MKX NEEDED. Just at present there are a score or more of Pendleton students home for 1 he holidays. They come from al most every important school in the northwest. To these various schools these students have been attracted by different considerations. But they are all guiaed oy uie same general purpose a desire to Detter tnemseives and to prepare themselves mentally, morally and physically for their du ties in the world. It is well that they have such desires and are following them out. The world today Is look ing for high class, .well trained men t.i take the lead in the different lines of endeavor. College men are now filling places of responsibility as they have never done before. In the fu ture the percentage of college men In the ranks of the successful will be even greater than at present. This is because college or university training is now open to every one and the strong, ambitious young men and women seldom fall to avail themselves of the opportunities to secure such" training. lil-XP SWKLL THE PARK FTND. One of the best movements now underway in Pendleton is the one which looks to enlarging the public park fund. At this time the sum of $500 is to the, cre'dlt of this fund. It represents the inonpy the city receiv ed for its portion of the new woolen mill site. Last spring this money was placed in the park fund. But the am ount is not sufficient to accomplish much in the way of park improve ments. The fund must be Increased so that by the coming spring or sum mer there will be sufficient money to accomplish something along the line oj' "providing a park system for the city. The ladies mf the library and civic club now have a very practical scheme for raising more money for this fund. "Friday evening Bernard Daly, the famous Irish singer will ap pear in "Sweet Innisfallen." Half the profits of that performance are to go to the park fund. It will be the last performance at the theatre for 1909 and if reports are to be relied upon Bernard Daly will be one oJ,the most pleasing attractions of the season. As a result local people will have an op portunity to see a highly meritorious play and at the same time aid In a very worthy civic movement. Finish the old year by attending "Sweet Innisfallen." It is bad news that the switchmen's strike is far from settlement and that a general strike may result because the trainmen and the railroad offici als have been unable to agree. It is time for some disinterested party, such as the president of the United States, to intercede In an effort to avert further trouble. The public needs some representation while the negotiations are underway between the two conflicting elements. In the government's suit against the Cunningham claimants, who want title to coal worth several millions of dc liars, the United States has been represented by a young attorney who graduated from a night law school in 1907, according to Collier's Weekly. The government has abler lawyers than that when it goes after eastern Oregon ranchers. Zelaya does not approve at all of Secretary Knox's diplomatic policy. It is very easy to understand how Ni caragua's ex-presldent came to hold such sentiments. Idaho people are now "confiscat ing" coal that Is enroute to eastern Oregon. That is an old stunt on the part of Idaho people. If you would like to see the old north side cemetery improred during the coming year be out Friday night and help swell the park fund. An lnterurban traction system and the extension of the Umatilla project. These are the two great things Pen dleton and Umatilla county want dur. Ing 1910. Help build up "Our Town."

I've talked awhile with the engineer The chap who's doln' my old time tricks, Except that he runs on a track that's clear, While I drove the overland coach and six A coach and six across that plain That now flies past In the window pane. This chap has a throttle In his hand, And there's never a ticklish turn to steer; I held the ribbons, understand, And a shot gun always rested near; Xo headlight gleamed on the faint, rough trail When I was the one who carried mall. The engineer sits as warm as toast, As lie perches high on his iron hoss. And many's the time I've looked the ghost When the norther swept the plains across That endless, pitiless, frozen plain That. .whizzes past through the win dow pane. Arthur Chapman in Denver Repub lican. THE NVMRSKVTiIi. Once at least upon a modern time, a Young Man grown, he cal culated, too big for his native town, bethought himself to win a faster way in the Big City near the sea, where mammoth p'les scraped the clouds and in whose canyons of streets life, bristled continuously. . The Young Man saw no ample field for the talent his foolish Irlends said he had In the single business street hut sprawled its miry way from the railroad station to the "dry goods emporium." The lure of the larger populace was in the Young Man's soul. He fondly dreamed of the wealth ho would -qu'ckly amass. Everybody, ho thought, must have money In the Big. City, for were not all the San Francisco date lines in the papers he read followed by stories of multi millionaire merchants, wealthy men and rich women? Among those who wished the Young Man well was another young man who had been so deficient a pu pil in the school in wh'ch the Young Man sliown that' they dubbed him 'Nummy," which, being translated, means numbskull. "If you like, Nummy, I'll send for you and give you a good Job when I get my own business," volunteered the Young Man as he Jauntily fleck ed the ash from his cigarette. Whereupon Nummy, pop-eyed, re plied: "Will you, sure?" Then w th less enthusiasm he went on: "Naw, I guess I'll stay here. It's safer. Twenty years later the Once-Young Man seamed of face, frosted of hair and seedy in clothes drifted back to his native town. Riding with the village hackman from the station, he saw the place had stretched Itself pver the open fields he remembered as a boy.' Many business houses and many pretty homes were new to him. "Whose store is that?" he asked, point'ng to a pretentious and busy es tablishment. "That's Nummy's. You remember Nummy. don't you?" "Nummy? Why, he was a fool in school." 'jYep; he's one of our leading cit izens, now." "And whose great house is that upon the hill yonder?" "That's Nummy-'s, too." A few hours later the Once-Young Man awkwardly greeted Nummy In the liter's office. "And how's business in the Big City?" Nummy asked. "Well, 'tisn't what it might be," responded the Once-Young Man. "That so?" Nummy squinted un derstand'ngly at the Once-Young Man. "How'd you like to come back and work for nte?" "First rate," replied the once- Young Man briskly, "l always u.u like the fresh air of the country, any way. MORAL,: Not all the Golden Eggs are plucked where nests are tnicKes.. Harry T.
