In vain you climb the hills so Or ride tor many a nay .-s To find some spot where all is well And no one rings a brazon bell Or stops before yourv&oor to yell "Get up without delay!" W'.ere was that wondrous spot to which Mosquitoes never flew, V:.ere engines never paused to switch And motor cars were few; Where revelers of the night ne'er sought To keep the air with music fraught? That sweet retreat by fancy wrought, Xo mortal ever knew. Washington Star. IT IS PROPER WORK. There is no occasion for so much fuss over the work being done at Thorn Hollow. According to critics ol the Thorn Hollow" project the wa tei board has thus far spent approx imately $1500 in development work. They appear to think it is something . awful. But $1500 is not an unreasonable sum to spend in ascertining whether or not the city should take up a cer tain gravity water project. It is esti mated it will cost $200,000 to con struct the Thorn Hollow project. Then assuredly the members of the board should be pardoned for spending $1500 or $2000 in ascertaining whether or .not the scheme is a good one. The board would be more entitled to criti clfm had it failed to make a thorough Investigation. Some interested parties are trying to put forth the impression the water beard is without just reason for trying to fin I an ample supplfr of water at Thorn Hollow. These people pretend to think the Cayuse springs would an swer just as well and would be cheaper. But these very people know well that grave objections are also raised to the Cayuse spring. It is chai-E'-d the Cayuse spring is a seep age sreing. that it fills with overflow vat-r frm the river in flood times and further that the elevation of the spring Is such that should the Cayuse j.rr.jw t be developed the present res ervoir would have to be used and the r'-v.: would be no better than at this time. The la-t ohj'-ction if true is a 8rt- j c,u 'm in'i.-td. As has been previous- T'ri:it ! out by this paper it is of the utmost Importance far Ptnlleton to sf urf a pr.ity wat-r system that v ill provide water for the hill sections rf t1'.' c'.ty. Tb future growth of the t'jv. :i .nun be on th hills and if wa ter is not provided for the hills the advar.fi-rner.t of the city will bo re- ard-1. Ti.t; Ea't Or' gonian Is not advocat ing the adoption 't the Thorn Hollow proj-'.t nor is this paper fighting the Cayuse project But this paper doet uph'dd the wa'r board In trying to find an ample supply at Thorn Hoi- j their alms and a comm-ttee compos U w. The board Is right In carrying ' ' ' t well-known society women and r.n its development work and spending a reasonable sum for that purpose. It would also be proper for the board to spend money for the In vestigation of other scources of sup ply if it sees fit to do so. Now Is the time for investigating. Would critics of the water commis sion have the board go ahead with the building of a gravity water system and then Investigate the supply afterwards. If so then the critics themselves need a caretaker. WHY THEY AKE WRETCHED. Pendleton's streets, sidewalks and cross walks offer fine evidence of the Inefficiency of the councilmanic sys tem of government. We have practlc allv no Improved residence streets. The dirt streets are full of bumps and 'holos. They are seldom If ever grac icJ or rolloJ' thush u iittie wor would do Immense good If done at t! gra fl orid to right time. Aulos may scarcely travel over some of the principal streets and it la an old tlmo joke that the roads 'are better outside of Pendleton than within rendleton virtually has no sidewalk ster.i. Most anything goes. There are S'V.d residence streets with side si, le of the thor- walks on hut one 1. !),".; o'JSi-.i'are. Only a few blocks here and l!sol,I,t'r 'n various parts of the city have oot:i parKeu. .Many o; ine cross v.aiks are worn out and useless. ... . . i's nns suuauoii cxisi : Is rendleton too poor to, make theso commonplace improvements? No. Pendleton Is not a poverty stricken rity. It is one of the most prosperous l itics in the northwest. A local bank now, has greater deposits than ever In history and its deposits are greater U an those of any bank In Walla Wal la or any other small city in the northwest. I Pendleton's poor streets and walks j may be charged mainly to the system Ot lack of system under which work has been managed The councilmen J , are elected anv old wav and thev serve without pay." The chairman of the ' f 'street committee is named from am 4 c :ig the number. Just now the chair- v.ain is a second-hand dealer. Xext time he may be a lodging house keep, er, but it is not likely he will be a man who has had any experience at ..lgineering or construction work. He I will give such attention to the work 'as he sees fit. It is a "thank you" job :'!iyway. Is it any wonder Pendleton streets and walks are in bad corr idition? Is it any wonder money has I been spent at times without getting j I'p.der the commission form of gov ernment there would be but three el ective officials and they would be paid. Each would be chosen with a j view to conducting a certain line of work and of meeting the responsi bility of his department. Adopt the commission plan in Pendleton and this city will become in line for street and sidewalk betterments rs well as for a more efficient and economical man agement of affairs in general. WHERE IT COMES FROM. There arc some people who are crit- ici-ir!g the water board from the best of motives. But it is plain the bulk of the opposition is inspired by the Eyers milling company and the Pacific Light and Power company two con cerns that have selfish interests at stake. The milling company is afraid Its power supply will be affected and evidently it is out to block proceed ings by fair means or foul. The el ectric trust is now drawing down about $3500 per annum for pumping city water and it would like to con tinue that rakeoff. Ho long as it con tinues to get its monew for pumping the water the electric trust does not care whether Pendleton people use pood water or bad. People should be cautious about giving heed to critics of the water board. Some of the criticism -is hon est criticism, but three fourths of it comes from sources that . may be questioned from eurces opposed to a gravity water system of any sort. LEGLESS, WALKS 300 MILES. Fairbanks, Alaska. Monte G. A. Trrlll. sixty-eight years old, former ly of White Plains, X. Y., walked into the city on two wooden logs after having- traveled three hundred m leg from Chitina.

For the Thing That Is Just Beyond Seeing And the Thing that Comes After the End! Harper's. BLISS FROM THE PROVERB. There's an old codger In Boston who effects to despise a college education. He never had one, he's very success ful, and he doesn't see that a uni versity training could have made him any moru so. Therefore he sneers at some of the younger fellows who have hail more educational advantages. The other day he was calling down a college-bred subordinate. "If that's all your r;ilt-edged education has taught ye," he growled. "by gosh young feller, I'm thankful for my ig norance." "Sir," the young fellow answered, bowing respectfully, "you have much to be thankful for." Boston Trav eler. MRS, McGIlL BROKE DQVr Gives the Real Facts In Regard to Her Case and Tells How She Suffered. Jonesboro, Ark. "I suffered a com plete break down In health, eomo time ago," writes Mrs. A. McGIll, from this place. "I was very weak and could sot do any work. I tried different remedies, but they did me no good. One day, I got a bottle of Cardul. It did me so much good, I was surprised, and took some more. Before I took Cardul, I had headache and backache, and sometimes I would cry for hours. Now I am over all that, and can do all kinds of housework. I think It la the greatest medicine on earth." In the past fifty years, thousands of ladles have written, like Mrs. McOlll, to tell of the benefit received from Cardul. Such testimony, from earnest women, surely indicates the great value of this tonic remedy, for diseases peculiar to women. Are you a sufferer? Test Cardul Is the medicine you need.

I'nder a spreading chestnut tree a stubborn auto stands, And .-nith, an angry man is he, wfth trouble on his hands. He cusses softly to himself and crawls beneath the car, And wonders why it didn't bust be fore he go so far. The carbureter seems to be the cause of all his woe; Iij tightens half a dozen bolts, but still it doesn't go, And then he tries the steering gear, but finds no trouble there Till, wet with perspiration, then, he quests in sheer despair. He squats beside the road to give his brain a chance to cool. And ponders on his training at the correspondence school; .'nd then he starts the job once more, until by chance 'tis seen The cause of all his trouble is he's out of gasoline. Edgar A.

"Always at Your Service" Powder made Cream of Tartar THOUGHT THEY DID IT. Two young Americans touring in Italy, says Success, for the first time stopped off one night at Pisa, where they fell in with a carnival party in a cafe. Going hilariously home one pushed the other against a building and held film there. "Great heavens!" cried the man next to the wall, suddenly glancing up at the structure above him "See what we're doing!" Both roysters fled. They left town on an early morning train, not thinking it safe to stay over and see the famous leaning tower. ALSO EARS.
