SOUND JUDGMENT DISPLAYED.
IS THE FIGHT OVER?
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!

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-:

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.

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.

lived, how pleased he would have
