SIRE WAY TO IXJURE A TOffX.
The writer was over to Pendletou.
yesterday. Now Pendleton Is one of
the good old substantial towns of Or
egon. Everything about the place ap
pears permanent and It Is well Im
proved. Yet Pendleton Is suffering
tMant . i-.v"','- f -"j i . i. - '-v ,
, t
She is suffering at the hands of
' her own people -men who have mon
ey In rested in property In that city.
Too many residents of Peu.letoi op
enly admit that the town is quiet
not what she once was when all the
John Day 'country drove there for sup
plies. No doubt that is true, but every
city Is open to changes of trade con
ditions caused by construction of
new railroads.
La Grande does not get the Wal
lowa trade as she did at one time.
But La Grande Is not pining her
life away. Our people upon finding
that the wagon trains from Wallowa
were a thing of the past, bet about
tat once to get something else. Now
it is a matter of tradition to hear of
the wagon train that used to load up
here for ' Joseph. Pendleton should
follow La Grande's example and get
something started to replace any
- trade that may have been lost by
reason of any readjustment of trans
portation facilities .and above every
thing else they should never admit
that their town is quiet
Nothing succeeds like success in
town building. A good front and a
pleasant smile helps wonderfully and
Pendleton shold try It
MAI THEY BE TOItX UP. OFTEN.
At present La Grande's streets are
torn up in auch a way that traffic
finds it hard, but we sincerely hope
that these same streets be torn np
often. We hope when the bitulethlc
pavement is laid and everything be
comes normal that only a short time
will elapse until that pavement will
have to be torn up in the citer of
the streets to permit the laying of
street car tracks, also that gas mains
will be laid in the' business district
which will cause another readjust
ment of the paving and streets.
And ; so on down the line. One
thing will all for another. La Grande,
tinder the present city admlnistra
tlon, has started on the highway of
progress. She Is stepping from the
lively town Into the bustling city a
step that is vitally essential.

Pittsburg's Famous District Attorney
Self Made Man.
Long ago the good work of District
tftnmn William A. Hlakeley of Pitta-
fcurg sT every indication that he
was destined tor bign pouuew uouor.
t,i. and those who have fol
lowed his career,are joot wrprtoeM
the progress be Is making. 'His suc
cessful battles against organized mu
nicipal corruption In that city hare
len the talk of the country, the graft
upheavals there being due In a large
measure to his efforts,
j Mr. Blakeley is a self made man. A
native of Franklin. Fa., where he was

born In 1SCG. be was taken to Pitts
burg by bis parents when a few
months old and has resided there ever
since. , After graduating from the TJnl

nalism and during his spare time stud
ied law. beine admitted to the bar In
1893. In his private practice he achiev
ed many notable successes and was
appointed assistant district attorney
and later city solicitor, becoming the
active trial attorney , for the city In
practically all of its litigation.
It was in 1908 that Mr. Blakeley De-
came district attorney of Pittsburg,
and he had been in office Just ten days j
when the first cloudburst came In the i
graft precipitation. . Since then he has J
never let up a moment In combating
for the cltv's Eood the powerful pout-
leal organizations and money Influences j
and has made a record in this direc-;
tlon gained by few men in his position
Now Comes the Bathtub Trust
And now our ourses are to get a
dent in another place, for It is stated
that a $100,000,000 combination is be
ing formed which, if perfected, will
doubtless be caueu
the "bathtub
trust" Already it
has ordered a rise
in the price of its
products from 20
to 30 per cent,
which will mean
something like a
$25,000,000 annual
tax upon the peo
ple of the United
States. Involved In
the deal are six
teen companies
that manufacture
thi latest TtiUBT not only bathtubs,
but almost even? other kind oi sani
tary enameled devices. For tbe "reason
that their products have tome to be on
absolutely uecessary equipment of a
modern home the rise of prices, if en
forced, will affect every householder
and rent payer who lives according to
the hfiitth standards of today.
