The AuhhhI Migration.
Our grand's! res lived on the "old home
place"
The Spot where they were born!
We well may say it with crimsoned
face
And voice of shame and scorn.
Their life In a Stupid circle ran,
Dull, fogy folk were they;
Hurrah for. the man with the moving
van
Hurrah for the first of May!
How odd to stick to the selfsame view.
Ceiling and floor and wall.
When agents nt ten or half-past tsvo
In automobile will call!
How odd, consecutive years a span,
At one address to stay!
Huzza for th man with the moving
van
Huzza for the first of May!
Midst all the city of house and fiat
Are some we have not seen
They fill those visions o' night, begat
By wanderlust. I ween.
Several of the leading magazines are
printing a- series of articles pertain
ing to the knowledge gleaned from
our public schools by the students.
If this knowledge is not practical,
Is it not pitiful? Neither in the school
room nor at home have girls been
taught to place marriage, wifehood
and motherhood on the same plane
with history or civics, says the Wo
man's Home- Companion, "And if you
do not know what this means then
this incident may help you to under
stand."
Mrs. Hetty Green, worth fifty mil
ions in her own came, and a woman of
many eccentricities, but great shrewd
ness, was waiting in a Brooklyn court
room for a case to be called. Thirty
women seeking freedom from matri
monial tenets were waiting to be
called.
Hetty Green looked them all over,
and then she turned to a reporter.
'Poor things," she said, "poor
things! And if they'd ever been taught
to take care or a home, to love a home,
they wouldn't be here. They didn't
think that marriage meant anything
mot e tlin someone to pay for thc-heap
finery they had paid for themselves
before marriage. They did not know
that happiness In being married lies in
knowing how to make a comfortable
home for themselves and their husbands.
Already real estate has began to
move on the strength of the irrigation
project. Just wait until the bonds are
placed, or rather, until the necessary
amount of acreage Is signed up to
warrant the Issuing of the bonds.
Then the way real estate will be In
demand will be a revelation to many.
The year or two following the coming
of the sugar factory will simply be an
incident.
The question of changing the con
stitution of our state to permit the
state to build and operate railroads
will be one of the live issues of the
next, campaign: but it depends very
much on the policy outlined whether
or not it will prevail.- If these sec
tions of the state that now, do not
have transportation facilities desire
to bond themselves to build railroads,
well and good, but those sections of
the state that have railroads will
hardly vote a tax on themselves to
build roads into territory not tribu
tary. There are precedents that can
be cited1 showing where tills policy
has been successful, and on the other
hand there are states which have
tried it and made dismal failures in
attempting to go into the railroad
business. There is no question but
what th'? growth of this state has
been rrentlv retarded bv not havini?
proper transportation facilities; but
it is posible that before election time
arrives considerable activity in rail
road building will be in evidence.
Next Monday when the Supreme
Court meets In Pendleton the familiar
face of Judge Bean will be missed by
the bar of Eastern Oregon. However,
Judge McBrlde will receive a loyal
welcome as this will be his first offi
cial work as the successor of Judge
Bean.
v
Those In the elgth grade have the
impression that examinations this
year are' to be much more exacting
than is usual in order that as few as
possible may ber promoted info the
high school, owing to the crowded
condition. Whether this Is true or
not. those who fail to pass can take
this view of it.

A number of our people are al
ready planning to visit Wallowa late

opens, and it is expected that several

unimer resorts of the State. ,
