A PLAIN SORT OF HUMAN. - I'm only a plain sort of human, Too often in Trouble's con- trol; I never discovered a comet, . Or walked half a mile to the Pole. But I'm walking the way 'Neath the blue sky or gray, And just shakin' hands With the world every day. It's good to be plain, and Just human; , - To tell the Sun "Howdy!" and . know His life-giving light Is your pro- tectlon, If he shines on the green or the snow. 4 Oh, I'm walkln" the way - "Neath the blue sky or gray, With a hearty "Good-mornin'!" To Life every day. Prank L. Stanton in Atlanta Constitution. VERY, VERY PECULIAR. Here is something from the last Issue of the Milton Eagle: "The main reason for the pro posed division of Umatilla county is for the purpose of reduction of tax es and to provide for a more efficient administration of the county's af fairs as well as convenience to tax payers." But if "Orchard"' county "reduces" taxation to the same extent Hood River did it will bring about a re duction upward instead of downward. E. A. Schiffler, "of this city, owns some property In Hood River. The last year that property was in Wasco county he paid $85.50 In taxes. The first year of Hood River county's ex istence his taxes amounted to $138. It was an increase of $52 or of 61.4 per cnt. This increase was but nat ural. Two county governments can not be maintained as cheaply as one. A county with a small assessed valu ation cannot hope to escape with as low taxation as a county with a large assessment. When the divlslonists "estimate" that the creation of "Or chard" county will . reduce taxation they are talking for votes. They are not even sincere with themselves. As for a "iriore efficient administra tion of county affairs" that is a pe culiar argument to come from Milton under the circumstances. At this time most of the county officers are from "Orchard" county. The asses sor, the school superintendent, one commissioner, the sheriff, the clerk and the treasurer are all from that regions. Are they to be Indicted as inefficient? " "Convenience to taxpayers" is also a strange plea to come from a town located but a few miles from the Washington boundary and which would be inconvenient of access for all sections of "Orchard" county save that region Immediately surrounding Milton and Freewater. That Is a strange argument to use against Pen dleton when this city Is In the geo graphical center of Umatilla county and has transportation lines leading Into the city from every direction. But then the whole "Orchard" county scheme is a peculiar one. FOR CAMPAIGN PURPOSES, Dope" that Is being given out by the secessionists up at Milton state that the present population of Uma tilla county Is 83.550, that when "Or chard" county has been created it will have S500 people and Umatilla county will still have 25,000. Ah, but the last federal census gave Umatilla county but 18,000 people. The last state census taken five years ago made the same showing and there art good -reasons for believing the pres--it census will not reveal many more Inhabitants than were In this county at that time. But of course facts as to population are not desired by Oie divlslonists any more than do they want facts relative to the Increased taxation that will result If their plan U carried out. The divlslonists are making their "estimates" for cam paign purposes. Yet they should have some regard for the truth. ROOM FOR TWO Oil MORE. In an optimistic mood the La Grande Observer recently had the following: "A day or so ago the Observer was represented on an O. R. ft N. train. In the coach were a number of strangers and the conversation was centered on Eastern Oregon. Natur ally it drifted to the different towns and the future each has In store. "Pendleton was mentioned and many nice things were said about the civic pride there, the Fplendid spirit of progress noticeable among the bus iness people, for the business men of that town are certainly hustlers; Baker City was mentioned and as usual no one could see what Baker bad to make her the splendid town she is. But finally La Grande came in for her share of the talk. "'There Is a town that should be the best In Oregon, outside of Port land," said a traveling man. "There Is positively more to back La Grande's future growth than any other city In either Oregon or Idaho' possesses outside of the metropolitan centers'." Certainly the Observer Is to be par doned for its feeling of confidence In the future of La Grande. By nature La Grande is fortunately situated and it is destined to grow and prosper. La Grande is fortunate Just now In that It has a newspaper that is try ing to get- the old timers "out of the woods" and enlisted In the campaign for a greater La Grande. But of course even with its splen did backing La Grande can never be come the commercial center Pendle- I ton is destined to be. This city above I all other eastern Oregon towns is blessed with a fine geographical lo I cation. Pendleton is the metropolis jof an empire that is now Just starting upon a period of actual development. 'When this tributary country has been settled up, when -the Umatilla Cen tral has been extended southward to connect with the "east and west" road and when electric lines furnish ' rapid transit service between this city and neighboring points there will be "nothing to It." Pendleton's growth will be as certain as is the law of gravity. . - Yet La Grande will be a good town, too. IT IS FINE NEWS. The announcement that the. 'Boise & Western Is to be built across the state from Ontario to Bend and will be Hill's "east and west" road is one of the best pieces of news eastern Oregon has ever received. Such a road will open up an empire greater in area than that of many states. It is a country that will sustain an en ormous settlement, especially after the proposed irrigation enterprises have been carried out. After this east and west road has been built and after the roads have been construct ed into the Deschutes country the in terior should take on a boom such as has never been witnessed before In the history of the west. .Never before was so large an empire opened to set tlement and development at one time. In the track meet at Athena Sat urday the Milton professor tried to protest the Pendleton high school stars on the ground that they had won races before and might do so again If allowed to participate in the meet. What childish notions dp get into the heads of some of those east end people. Of course after Hill and the Harrl man system have built their east and west' roads they will want connection between those roads and Pendleton. The Umatilla Central would make a good connecting link. The coming campaign will be busy enough without any county division fight. EDWARD'S ROYAL RELATIVES.

(As Tennyson Might Have Sung It) From the Chicago Record-Herald. I swoop around a sudden turn, I make a careless sally. And, feeling not the least concerned, Go zipping through an" alley, ' Past thirty cops I hurry down, I bump o'er ruts and ridges: I scatter havoc through the town And flash across the bridges; I see the red light's warning glow," . But do I heed it? Never! For men may come and men may go. But I'tear on forever. I rattle over stony ways, I crash through traffic's Jumble, And end their troubles and their days Who hesitate or stumble. With many a curve I, somehow, get Around the drays and buses, And no not stop, to feel regret Because some teamster cusses. I hurry, hurry, crouching low; I try to Jump the river; For men may come and men may go ' But I tear on forever. I flash about and in and out, A thousand dangers daring; I hear the mad policeman shout, But have no time for carlng. And here and there I gladly break A speeding streetcar's fender; I never hesitate to take A chance, however slender. , I lay old men and children low, I make the horses quiver, k For men may come and men may go; But I zip on forever. I tear through lawns and grassy plots, I crash through leafy covers, s I crush the sweet forget-me-nots And cripple happy lovers. I slip, I slide, I skid, I glance, I scorn the bumps and hollows, - I sound a toot and take a chance, Too gay to care what follows. The public wants me squelched, I know; .' But do I mind it? Never! For men may come and men may go But I crash on forever. MOTHER-LOVE. Mother-love is mother-love The wide wide world around Mother-love Is mother-love Wherever It Is found; In palace or In cottage The city or the clan Mother-love Is mother-love God's sweetest gift to man. Mother-love Is mother-love The long, long ages through, Though years corrode all other love Still mother-love is new, A bloom that never faileth, A fruit beyond decay, The fresh warm tints of mother-love Are beautiful for aye. Mother-love is mother-love However fortunes go, Mother-love is mother-love Though tides are high or low, Though self-respect may falter. And scorn of life prevail, Yet mother-love Is mother love And naught shall make it fail. Mother-love Is mother love, Most like the love of heaven, Though previous every other love i To erring mortar given: . Strain of immortal music, . Glow of eternal morn, Love of all loves is mother-love Whence all our loves are born. Robert Whltaker, Los Gatos, Cal ifornia. DECEIVERS, EVER. They were arguing about the alleg ed inborn strain of deceltfulness in woman and she retaliated by clt'ng the instances of men deceiving their wives. "I suppose," said he, "that you hold that. a man should never deceive his wife." "Oh, no," she smiled back at him; "I shouldn't go so far as that. How would It be possible for the average man to get a wife if he didn't deceive her?" R. M. Winans, in Llppincltt's. The Rev.

G EVF.UY SPRING IS GREENER. I was walking with the senator to ; catch the early train, The senator with stocks and bonds galore, And for fit commercial phrases I was cudgelling my brain, When quite unexpectedly Said the senator to me: "Somehow this spring seems greener than any spring before." "I see no especial reason, and It was not always so, But I've noticed It a dozen years or more; And I wonder whether others, when the green begins to grow Bright enough to catch the eye, Feel about It as do I: That each new spring Is greener than any spring before." The senator Is hearty, but his crown is growing gray, His years are fifty-three or fifty four, And this may not be the reason, but I rather thing it may, For the contrast with the Bnow On' his head perhaps may show Why the green each spring seems greener than any spring before. Youth, they say. Is hope's own season, but they know not what they mean; Youth's a butterfly that wings the garden o'er, Seeking gaudy flowers that perish, while In .age that glides serene Down life's final snowy slope, Stronger grows Immortal hope, And every spring Is greener than any spring before.
