Grow dearer with each added year; Acquaintance into friendship ETOW, And friendship ever brighter r glow. Old friends are best, we lightly saw. But, as they fall upon the way Keep full the ranks with newer friends. Till time the adjective amends. And if old friends still seem the best, The adage should be thus ex pressed: Friends are not best because they're old. But old because the years that rolled The years that try and mar and 4 mend Have rroved them worth the title friend. S. Weir Mitchell in the Cen- tury. A report of the sugar trut prose cution now on in New York throws light on justice as it is seen by one ftderal judge in that city. The cas- is being; tried before Judge Hand and the trust officials are accused of i (straining trade by getting control of sugar plants and putting them out of commission. ' The trust gave a loan of $1,250,000 to Adolph Segal, of the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining Company, and closed the plant. Defending that action the attorney for the trust held that in taking the PennsyU-ania company's piant as security for the loan they took "collateral of a perishable na ture." The following is from the report of the hearing upon this pc int. . "In order to safeguard their col lateral and protect themselves from having the collateral impaired, they specified that the plant was not to be operated," said Mr. Beck, "for to d so, they figured, would have im paired the plant. And I think your honor would agree that the lenders l'.ad a perfect right to order the plant to close, for who would want their collateral made useless or greatly re duced in value?" "I think you are right," said Judge Hand, "and unless Mr. Wise can otherwise convince me, I will instruct the jury to acquit." What a farce. Yet some people wonder at criticism of the courts an 1 can see no reason for the recall of judges. A VXITED CITY. EDO Absolutely Ptare Makes Home Baking Easy No other aid to the housewife is so great, no other agent so useful and certain in making delicious, wholesome foods The only Baking Powder made from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar Ho Atom tlo Lime Phosphates THE REALM FEMININE IT IS THE Tltl'E SOLUTION. Governor West, who has had close and practical experience with great public service corporations and the regulation of such concerns, en courages the people of Pendleton in the move for a municipal electric plant. He believes that ownership is the correct solution of the problem in Pendleton and points out that the successful management of the water system by the people shows they are also capable of managing their own electric business. The advice of the governor is time ly and it is sound. Pendleton has an opportunity to secure a good electric plant. There Is available power suf ficient in extent to generate seven or eight times as much electricity as this city now makes use of. The city has a nine month's option on the proposition and can take it over if it wants to do so. A capable and con servative engineer has passed Judg ment on the project and he finds it to be both feasible and desirable from a community standpoint. The project is within easy reach of the city as it will not take a vast amount of money to develop such power as is now needed. The opportunity that Is now open to thU city will not be open long. If the city does not act soon it will never be able to get a municipal electric supply, because the power trust is fast gathering in all available power sites. The people of Portland sat idly by and allowed their great power sourc es, to be corralled by private corpor ations. Now every bit of available power J.i Jn the hands of one trust and the metropoll of this state is at its mercy. It is a bad situation and the people of Portland have awaken ed to the fact and are looking to Hate regulation as a remedy. But when they pet regulation they will find It has its drawbacks. Pendleton is extremely fortunate In bavins a chance to save Itself by get ting control of power that will meet the needs of the city even should the town grow to be many times its pres ent size. It is a great opportunity and it would be the helghth of ab turdity to pass it up. Get the proposition in proper shape and put It to the people. At times Pendleton has some pet ty quarrels and factional differences as do all other healthy towns. But when a community affair arises like that which was carried out here yes terday the people get together as members of one big family. In th entertainment of the officials yester day and in the ceremonies incident to the corner stone laying there were no partisan or factional lines. Pro gressives and standpatters, republi cans and democrats, pessimists and optimists, newcomers and oldtimers i stood side by side talking with each other and working in unison for the success of the day. It was a com munity affair, the people wanted to fee it done right, and they did. It was a great day for Pendleton, it pleased the visiting officials, it fit tingly celebrated the construction of the great hospital and it also show ed once more that while we spar among ourselves at times we are al so ready at any time to march to gether under a common flag and to work or fight side by side for the good of the town. The English coal mine owners think the proper course for them to take Is to starve the miners into submission. So they are pretty curt in dealing with the men. It is a course that may succeed, but if the miners should get mad as well as hungry it might be well for some bf those owners to be abroad about that time. If the people in Kansas and other suffering middle states only knew the truth about the splendid climate and resource? of Oregon the west bound trains would be loaded with colonists. Meanwhile the time Is quickly pass ing ana tne registration lists are wofully short of names. Go and reg ister now. Don't wait to be sworn in. Taft is popular with the New York political machine, even if he did not make much of a showing in North Dakota. There are signs that Pendleton I going to be at the Elks grand lodga session and the members wont walk either. AXD "HELLO" IS NOW TABOO.

GltEEX STAMS Slowly, but surely, the word "hello" passes from the official literature of telephone talk and sinks into the dis card. ' Telephone companies long have frowned1 upon the expression. Recently the Pere Marquette railroad tabooed it, and now the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad has done the same thing. "Hello" is such a delightfully Im polite and expressive word that its passing to the shades seems a plte, and its speedy revivification, or at least its reincarnation in some form, seems inevitable. It has behind it a history which is lengthy if not par ticularly distinguished, and which en titles it to consideration. Though "hello" was officially recognized by literature only about .thirty-five years ago, It first known form, "hollow," dates back into the middle ages. "Hollow" was used to incite soldiers, hunters and dogs to activity. In the seventeenth century It mas queraded as""hllIo." In the eigh teenth century It became "hullo" and finally "hello." In the course of its adventures it also some times appear ed as "halla halloo, and hollo." Really, it seems a pity to shove aside such an historic, breezy, famil iar, democratic little word as "hello," for the prim, maidenly, colorless ex pression that has succeeded It, "Num ber, please."
