During the past month or six reeks the subject of a traction line to be built by the Washington-Oregon company has been much dis cussed. Nearly all phases of the -question, have been treated by this paper and in consequence people, es pecially the men most interested, should be reasonably well informed regarding the proposition. It Is now purely a question of rais ing the money that is needed. The access of the whole movement hinges upon the ability to secure the , ISO, 000 stock subscription for the company. In order to secure this money hard work will have to be done by the solicitors and the people of the city will have to join hands in a hearty, patriotic effort. If too much pessimism and opposition Is display ed by those who have the money or hold the purse strings the movement cannot succeed. There are some who profess to think a company like the Washington-Oregon company should not ask for any local support. Yet the company has asked for some Pendleton backing and the promoters say they cannot go ahead with their plans unless they secure such assistance. This being the case the question arises, would It not be better for Pendleton to raise the money needed rather than to wait until another company comes forth ready to do the work without local assistance. The East Oregonlan is un hesitatingly in favor of taking advan tage of the present opportunity. Pen dleton will probably wait until dooms day without getting traction facilities unless local property owners offer to help in getting such an Improvement. Had not local people manifested a willingness to help the Pendleton woolen mill that plant would not be ic operation today. Had this city not subscribed a large sum of money many years ago Pendleton would not have secured connections with the Northern Pacific railroad. Gentlemen, how can you refuse to subscribe to the traction fund? TOO n.AP HAZARD. In an interesting article in a cur rent magazine Hugo Munsterberg crit icises students for the haphazard methods they follow In selecting courses and he says the same criti cism applies to the selection of life vocations. "In those colleges where the choice of a course la left to the student. It Is always Interesting to Inquire Into the motives that guide the prefer ence," says Mr. Munsterberg. "Of the hundreds who flock to a course In history, or economics, or chemistry or literature, certainly there are many who know that they have chosen the course that they need and the one that will be most profitable for their In ner development. But ' there are others, and those others are far too many. Some btudents select a course b cause their friends are taking It, others because they have heard that It Is a "soft snap." Sometimes course Is chosen because the lecturer Is well known for his witty remarks, sometimes because the lecture hour conflicts least with the training for athletics, and again because the lecture room Is conveniently located downstairs or because the books medej for the course are small t nough to be carried in the pocket." "On the whole, this situation also pictures the methods by which the American youth chooses his life work. The overwhelming majority must enyr upon a bread-winning life when the graded school has been passed. Here also n large number certainly have an aim and n gonl. and with firm step they enter the chosen path. Hut a discouraging number of boys and girls are drifting here and there from haphazard motives and most nival causes. The hasty advice of an incompetent friend, a chance adver tisement, a superficial liking for some surface features of a vailing without any knowledge of its real duties, a vague, illusory idea as to the groat financial rewards of a line or work, push a boy in this or that- direction." The tendency of the average young man. while in school and after gradu ation is to follow the "line of least resistance." WE MIST EXTEMWIX THEM. Most assuredly ., Pendleton should take steps to properly entertain the teachers who are to be here for the big 'educational meeting In . March. Estimates made at this time are to the effect that there will be 800 or 1000 people here for the Inland Empire convention. To see that this crowd if properly accommodated will take some work. It Is work that must be done thoroughly and systematically. It is work In which the entire city must unite . A dozen committees could not look after such a crowd without the cordial co-operation of other people and especially of hotel iven, lodging house men and families having rooms to let. Then It will be necessary to provide suitable "entertainment features for the convention. In this regard Pen dleton has a reputation to sustain. Last spring the city entertained sever al hundred Pythians and Pythian Sis ters and did so in a very creditable manner. But a short time ago the state woolgrowers association met here and the sheepmen are still talk ing of the hospitality shown them by the citizens of Pendleton. Pendle ton must sustain its record by pro viding fitting entertainment for the army of school teachers that Is to he here soon. MAKE IT A CITY. A villas is a collection of stores and other establishments that exist tc meet the wants of the neighboring farming country. It is not hard to start a village. A village will gener allv start Itself. But for that village to grow into a town and then into a city requires some work on the part of the inhabitants. Cities do not grow without the right sort of nurturing. Pendleton is now just on the edge of citydom. It is a big lively country town with some metropolitan fea tures. We have paved streets and we have some splendid Industries. This i-i not merely a trading point."' But if Pendleton is to become a real city there is another step that must be taken. Traction facilities must be provided and interurban lines built out from the city to different parts o the adjoining territory. With such lines in operation and with the im petus that additional electrical power will give to our manufacturing in dustries Pendleton will be in line to become a real metropolis. Let us make Pendleton a city. If you cannot give any money to the traction fund at least you can be booster. Encourage others to help if you cannot. Do not be a scoffer or a knocker. Such people are the dregs at the bottom of the cup of life. The hard weather is now a thing of the past, yet it is doubtful if the railroad people are satisfied with present, conditions. Tomorrow the big poultry show be gins and unless all signs fail It will be a thorough success. At times like this all personal and factional animosities must be laid upon the shelf. Pendleton will not grow very much unless the people make it grow. srnMARIXE BELLS. The government of Uruguay, In or der to protect navigators from the dangers of the dreaded English Bank, located In the La Plata river, near Montevideo, years ago, placed a light ship thereon which could not be seen in foggy weather. This recently has been remedied by the installation on the light ship of a system of subma rine bells, In connection with the na tionai steamer Cyarvide, which re ceives the signals. The apparatus con sista of a bell submerged In nineteen feet eight Inches of water. It works by compressed air, marking each reef with a certain definite number of strokes. Thus in foggy weather, when the lightship and lighthouse cannot be seen, or when the wind Is so strong as to prevent the voice from being heard,' ships provided with the re ceiving apparatus will receive the slg- nal that they are near, dangerous reefs. In this manner It Is hoped that the annual list of disasters re corded will be materially shortened or disappear entirely. , The ifyarvldo has experimented with the apparatus mentioned. From six miles away the 'officers on that vessel plainly heard the sounds of the bell placed several feet under th water at the English Bank yet Its re ceptor does not equul thut on the steamer Cape Vilano, with which the signals were heard ten miles from the English Rank. i kom xomun itxi-: siekkei.ky. Richmond, Va , Jan. 17. 1910. The East Oregonlan: I spent a part of last week In Norfolk, which city has nearly lived down the Jamestown exposition fiasco. Norfolk Is n great place for conventions:. That of the National Commission Merchants was in session while I was thre and I never saw a more prosperous looking lot of men. I hope the consignors of garden sass and product of Old Pied's heifers, Calif., got separated from no more than a I 'g't'.niate commission. I heard much comment In Norfolk ov er a recent feat of the Virginia Rail road, which road was built by the late H. H. Rogers, and I mention the matter in view of the fact that there is. barring the curves on the Colum bia, a great similarity between the haul from Pendleton to Portland to that of the Rogers road. A single en gine hauled at an average speed of fifteen miles an hour one hundred and twenty gondola coal cars, con taining six thousand six hundred (6600) tons of coal from Victoria. Va., to Sewells. near Norfolk. These cars are returned to the coal fields empty. As the calf who ran around around the barn so fast that he kick ed mud in his own face, said, "that's going some." In pursuance of the dispensary mat ter: Last week I met a friend who has been commonwealth attorney in one of the southwest. Va.. counties, for many years, said county being ag riculture, and hence sparsely settled. He told me that under the dispensary system the profits to the county had advanced from $6000 to $22,000 per annum, and the expense of criminal and pauper charges reduced ninety per cent. Such ratios would not be possible in Pendleton, but unless I find a very satisfactory staW of af- faisr upon my neat opportunity to. in vestigate the liquor question as con troller! under the dispensary system, I shall certainly lift up my voice for its'adoptlon in Oregon. N. B. WORK THE TRI E REFORM KK. That the use of convict labor on the public roads Is not. only profitable to the state but is good for the convicts themselves, has been demonstrated by the results of the last year's work rn the state road No. 78 in the Me- thow valley. In spite of the extra ex pense of hjiilding stockades and em ploying guards to prevent the men from escaping, the work was done' at about one-half of what It would have cost by contract, and was done well and In quick time. The effect upon the convicts them selves was most satisfactory, and that they appreciated the change from prison life to employment in the open air is shown by the fact that there has not been a single attempt at es cape. The health of the men has been excellent and they have been willing and faithful workers. The use of convict labor has prov ed a successful experiment In this state and will do much to aid the guild roads movement. The work dune by the convicts does not bring them into competition with free la bor, whh-h has been one of the prin cipal arguments used against prison labor. t Why,, of Course, IT IS POSSIBLE to slrt'iigtlieii you wean sioinacn 1 I.I .liirfKtion and keen the bowels ,,r.n but you must lake noiams i .
