They are under salary while per forming their work, but the priceless discoveries they make, the high re sults they achieve in science, are ail the property of the people. Other scientists sacredly guard their discoveries, and sell them at enormous prices; other professional men are selfish and mercenary in all their ex periments. But the services of these men belong to the people—the find ings of their brains become the com mon property of the United States government. now only one full train and a piece of train runs, it will stand ull the abuse. The East Oregonian exists and prospers by the patronage of an appreciative public and its alm is to serve that public. It believes Uma tilla county Is entitled to tlie bes| possible train service and II has the support of every business man In Pendleton and every farmer ami Inis Iness outside of Pendleton In its con tentions for better ami more certain train service between the busy f irm ing communities of the east end of the county and the county seat. Of i nurse. Editor Wood, of the Weston Leader, does not need a better train service just now. He will either stay at Weston or ride to Pendleton in a farm wagon until he replenishes the fortune he squandered In St. Iaruls. and it don’t matter to him whether the trains run at all or not. for the next few months. As to Editor Boy J, of the Press, who always rides on an annual pass, in a Pullman, he really doesn’t know the woes of the common herd, whose fate assign them to the "mixed local” train— whose arrival in Pendleton depends on the swiftness of the crew in switching out all the stations, plat forms and side tracks along the line.
