V Do the citizens of Umatilla county think the fight for irrigation ended with the Portland convention? Do they imagine that the oratory and resolutions of that meeting was all that pertain to the subject of irriga ting sage brush land" Is there to be no further effort, no further work? Are we done agitating and enthusing, now that we have read the proceed ings of that great congress of Ore gon business men? Such appears to Te the case. One would Judge from the death-like silence that now reigns in many places that were storm cen ters before the convention, that we Tiave reached the climax or irrigation progress. But a sad awakening will come to the people of this county, ere they are aware. The active agencies at work in Baker, Crook, Grant and Malheur counties, will lay enough practical ir rigation schemes before the govern ment engineers to consume the J900. 000 in the Oregon Irrigation fund. We will be too late with the details of the magnificent plans that exist in the rough in this county. We will come in at the eleventh hour, and find ourselves barred out from the feast that has been spread for the arid counties of this state! Without longer delay, let this coun- President Cohen, of the Commercial Association, is to be commended up on the sound judgment he displayed in selecting the personnel of the so- j licltiug committee for the club build i ing stock. Had he taken the entire ! business community into his council and deferred the matter for weeks. he could not have made a choice that meets all the high requirements or this task in hand so fittuigly and satisfactorily. From every conceiva ble standpoint, the committee is equal to the far-reachiug and important business bearings of this question. The arrangements so far have been most satisfactory and perfect in de. tail. The proposition has now reach ed a stage where delicate and skill ful manipulation Is required. It has business features which cannot be handled by inexperienced men. and In placing the entire welfare of the club building proposition in the hands of R. Alexander. Jesse Failing and C. E. Roosevelt, the Commercial Asso ciation has shown a nice discernment and an appreciation of thorough bus iness ability and social standing to which Pendleton. In one voice, joy-, fully says, "Amen." . The success of the undertaking is now assured. As a continuation of the high character of former private' and public achievements of these i gentlemen, the club building will take its place among Pendleton Instltu-: Hons. Coupled with their wide ac quaintance, the members of this com mittee enjoy an intimate knowledge of the business details of their work A few days ago George Wllklns. an old man. walked Into the office of A. & P. White. In Boston, pulled out a happy-looking money bag and re marked that he wanted to pay a hill to J. V. Hansen. .Mr. Hansen has passed to that vale where it is presumed collectors are barred. He's dead and almost for gotten. Even his estate Is a closed affair. Then It developed that the debt was contracted 30 years ago. There was no record of It on the books, and, any way, it was outlawed. The stranger intimated that there is no statute of limitation connected with conscience, and insisted on paying the principal, $250, and $272.10 interest. Then he departed. mum Common honesty is a common thing. The world Is full of men whose word is as good as their bond. But the Boston case Is more than common honesty. It shows that some men keep their accounts and their consciences side by side and are honest, not because of the world or the law, but because of themselves.
