SAVE THE WATER.
Water Is going to bo a precious
liquid in Pendleton before the dry
weather yields to Jupiter l'luvlus,
from present indications.
In view of this fact, it would he
well for the city to make arrange
ments with the Hoss Ice plant and
Cohl Storage people to utilize tho
overflow water lrom the plant for
street sprinkling purposes, anil thus
save the city water for household
use.
The overflow lrom the Ice plant
amounts to about 10.000 gallons per
day and is running to waste in tho
sewers. This water is pure as tho
filtering and purifying processes of
science can make it, and contains no
refuse matter whatever and could be
economically applied to street sprink
ling. Get after it. save it, turn It to use.
There art- streets in town that have
not been sprinkled all summer, and
the dust is, ankle-deep in some of
tliem. Hecauso they are on the hill
side, out of the sprinkling zone is no
good excuse for causing the resi
dents upon these streets to suffer the
intolerable curse of dust all season.
Th property on Thompson, High
ami Tustin streets near the school
bouse pays taxes Into tho treasury
and. Is entitled to the same protection
as other property.
Water may be scarce In the river
and in the municipal well, hut here Is
10,000 gallons of available water go
ing to waste overy day In the week.
This water can be had at small
cost and the streets of tho city need
It. The use of It will save water In
the reservoir for home use and fire
protection and some arrangement
Jhould be made lo save It and utilize
It.
The cost of connecting pipes to tho
overflow pipes from the plant would
bo small, the location Is central and
would he convenient for loading and
it is the most economical water prop
osition over presented to the city.
LEGISLATIVE BUNGLING.
It now dawns upon tho trainers of
the bill by which tho prlco of school
land was to have been raised from
$1.2fi per acre to $2.50, that the j
words school land, wore omitted
from the title of the act, nnd that tho
law as applied to school land Is in
operative. The bill Included school and In
demnity land In Its provisions, hut
through some inexcusable bungling,
the tltlo was worded wrong and tho
law does not ralno the prlco of school
land, us Intended.
Attornoy-Oeneral Crawford has re
dered un opinion on the hill which
discloses its utter weakness and emp
tiness. IIo says tho state hind hoard
cannot enforco tho provisions of the
would-be bill, and thu price of Oro
gou school laud remains at $1.2.1 per
xcro.
However, tho board has charged
fiJiO for all school laud sold since
the bill went Into offect, and each
member has expressed tho willing
ness to follow the Intention of tho
legislature and soil all school land at
$2.50 per aero.
Of course, the land grabbers uro
kicking at this and claim the right
to secure valuable school lands nt
$1.25 per ncro. H Is the opportunity
of the grafter to get In some hard
licks before another legislature
meets to change the meaning and
title of the act.
The people of Oregon are In hopes
the land hoard finds legal grounds
for following the Intention of the law.
The cream of the school land area
of the state has been skimmed off
at a shamefully low price. The leg
islature, after 10 years of lethargy
on the subject only nwnkos lrom Its
Inactivity to make a mistake and a
bungle. So far as the people are
concerned It might have allowed the
matter to stand as it was, ami it
would have been much more compli
mentary to the business qualifica
tions of the legislature.
This is not the only bungle made , even with persons in whose cms,
by the Oregon leg.s.ature In the past. JJTVZ
On account of Its coarse and heed-1 ,..,. ii,,!., .iiillv tasks how history
less work, the initiative and refer
omlum will probably be declared In
operative and that entire campaign
will have to be fought over again
Whats the matter with the Oregon
legislature, anyway? Out of 90,000
voters, Isn't It possible to select 90
men who will make laws that will
stand the test?

THE FIFTY BEST POEMS.
A Huston critic, .Mr. Frederick
Lawrence knowles, has complied a ,
it-. ..i- ........ i... n ..... .i i...... '
list oi wiiiii lie cuiih me an ueai
American poems. Need It be said
thnt his list is made of for tho most
part by bards who frolicked with
the muse In and aiouud Iloston7 We
ilnd that the 50 poems which the lJos-
tonlan selects. .10 were written by
Longfellow, Emerson. Holmes, Whit-
tier. Lowell, Mrs. Howe, and T H. j
Aldrlch lirynnt comes In for two and
I'oe Is credited with eight, probably
because the latter Is regarded by
Kngllsh critics as the foremost Amer
ican poet. What the Kngllsh think
well of Is not lightly passed over in
Iloston.
.Mere Is the list n lull: "Thanatop
sis" and "To a Water Fowl.' Ilryant:
"Israfel," "To Helen," "The City in
the Sea." "The Haunted Palace," "To
One In Paradise." "The Sleeper."
"Annabel Lee." and "The Haven,"
Poe; "Divlna Comniedla." "Nature.'
"The Skeleton In Armor." and "The
Discoverer of the North Cape," Long
fellow: "The Problem," "Days." "The
Hhodorn." "Concord Hymn " "The
Humble Hee," and "Each and All,"
Kmerson: "Skipper Ireson's Hide."
"Telling the Dees." "In School Days,"
"Ichabod," "The Eternal Ooddoss."
and "Playmates." Whlttler; "Hebe."
"She Came and Went," "To the Dan
delion," "Anspex. Die Courtln' "
and "Peace." Lowell: "The Cham
bered Nautilus." "The Last Leaf."
"The Living Temple," and "Old Iron
sides." Holmes. "When Lilacs Last
in the Dooryard llloomed" and "Out
of the Cradle Endlessly Hocking,"
Whitman: "The Marshes of Oiynn,"
Lanier; "Hedoulu Song." Haynrd Tay
lor; "Abraham Lincoln." It. II. Stod
dard; "Uattle Hymn of the Republic,'
Juki Ward Howe; "On a Host of Dan-
to." T. W. Parsons; "The Venus do
Mllo," E. It Sill: "Columbus," .loa
quln .Miller: "Echo Song." "Sleep."
and "Unguarded Oates." T. H. Al
drlch: "Sesostris." Lloyd Mifflin; "An
Ode In Time or Hesitation." William
Vaughan Moody.
The last named In the list Is that
of a Chicago poet, hence this city has
one representative against Itostou's
30 odd. Perhaps we ought to he
grateful to the Hoston critic for let
ting Chicago in at all, In view of the
fact that he has shut out Indlnna
with her wealth of poets und doesn't' t
give the Sweet Singer of Michigan
or Ella Wheeler Wilcox even honor
able mention.
We do not believe the list will glvo

WORLD'S OPINION OF LEO XIII.
Jinny eminent men have given to
thu world their respective Impres
sions of Leo's temperninunt and per
sonality. P. Marlon Crawford, tho
novelist, thus described him:
"As ,n man, he possesses the sim
plicity of character which almost al
ways accompanies greatness, together
with a Healthy sobriety of temper,
habit and Individual taste rarely
found In those beings whom we might
cull 'motors' among men. It Is com
monly said that the pope has not
changed his manner of life since he
was a simple bishop. He Is, Indeed,
a man who could not easily change
either his habits or bis opinions; for
he Is of that enduring, melancholic,
slow-speaking, hard-thinking tempera
ment which makes hard workers,
and In which everything tends direct
ly to hard work as a prime object,
out of humanity In the rough state
For he Is a great pope.' There has
not been his canal Intellectually for
;i long time, nor shall we presently
