If there Is any other small Investment that will yield this return It has not yet been found In Umatilla county. The new city council must feel highly complimented hy the political writer on the morning paper. If all the wire pulling and cheap factional peevishness attributed to the mem bers hy the Trlhuue. was Indulged In, the council Is starting off "auspic iously." The East Oregonlan does not believe such to be the case. Dispatches from I'anama say the elections In tho now government on .Monday passed off without a single attempt at bribery or corruption, tho liberals being elected. It must bo discouraging to American officials who are watching over the now re public, to note this marked absence of American Influence and methods on the very first public electlou. A few wards should have been bought up, Just out of respect for Panama's best friend, the American. The Cudahy Packing Company re joices in the prospect of war between Japan and Russia. The Russian gov t'Crnmcnt has Just ordered 1,500,000 pounds of mess meat for the army, from this American trust. Russia tlon't fear tho American navy, but she trembles before the American meat trust. It Is hotter to bo mas ter of the rood supply of the world than to hold all the forts, harbors, strategical points and mountain passes on earth', The new city marshal ol Pendleton Is not yet selected. Judging from the activity of tho peoplo on election day, they care but llttlo who serves. Out or 1.200 voters, about 315 cast their ballots fn the city election.

Mxpnyor will not get the henolll of tho oxomp Hon on the 11)04 assessment. Tho hill tloes not go Into effect until March 23, 1001, and the law cannot he made to cover an assessment which heglns on Mnrch 1. However, Oregon will nppreciato the exemption moro when It does take effect, and Is glad to got off without tho necessity of another special' session to remedy this matter. A "prominent" lumber man from Portland has been giving tho Baiter City Democrat n specimen ' of the heavy argument of capital against the forest reserves. Tho gentleman says If the present destructive policy of barring the lumber companies from the public domain continues, one of the loading Industries of Ore-J gon will suffer greatly. Tho gentle-1 man forgets to mention that If tho government does not continue to bar j the lumber anil land syndicates from l securing the forest lands of the West In enormous tracts, to the exclusion of actual settlers, that not only one Industry, hut 10 or more vital Indus tries on the Pacific Coast will ho de moralized within n few years by tho process of denuding the mountains of their forests. Destroy the forests and you prevent settlement, Irriga tion, stock raising, reclamation and all other of tho great systems that are to he utilized in civilizing and developing the unsettled districts of the West. IK re Is rather a bitter reward for Senator Hoar's sixty years of unde vlatlng party fealty, from tho .Milton Eagle: "Although Senator Hoar votcs with the Republicans all right, he is novertneless n pretty good Democrat when It comes to opposing everything offered by his party, and incessantly picking Haws with tho ad ministration. .Massachusetts should retire the old gentleman and send n guod Republican to the senate. Hoar has long since outlived his day of usefulness as an iionest representa tive of his constituency, and should now quietly step aside lest doty old age inadvertently blocks the wheels ot piogress." Tho report of the secretary of the . interior In addition to showing a con dition of unparalleled fraud and per jury In public land and timber en tries, is a strong denunciation of tho Timber and Stone Act, tho commu tation clause of the Homestead Act and the Desert Land Act themselves. Theso laws he describes as structur ally wrong and fraudulent in intent. Before Secretary Hitchcock, secretar ies of tho Interior nnd commission ers of tho general land office without number have recommended tho re peal by congress of theso three land stealing laws. Public sentiment, however. Is now becoming awakened to tho vast steals perpetrated undoi these laws and to the fnct that tho government has been defrauded of tens of millions of dollars of proper ty and what Is worse, that the land absorption Is continuing at a con stantly Increasing rate. It Is not a question of enforcement of tho laws, though a rigid administration would, of course, help matters some; file laws were themselves born In Ini quity to enable laud grabbing, Domestic Infelicity, divorce, faith lessnoss, Infidelity, lovo of money and dross and Jealousy and their train of evils, are tilling the columns of tho papers with sickening details of tho Increasing horror of civilization. Where will this tendency stop? Will states continue to broaden and weak en tho dtvorco laws, nnd permit cntld rcn to marry before they have passed out of the short drosa period?

MR. CARNEGIE'S PITY. "Oh, how 1 pity the boy who Is born toe son of a millionaire!" cried .Mr. Carnegie nt a recent dinner. And the exclamation has started an Inter esting debate on the relative advan tages uf wealth and poverty In youth It depends largely upon tho boy. of course. Riches nro not good for the lad who Is not endowed with energy o chnracter. Such a ouo takes the line of least resistance, lives In Idle ness and will bo fortunate If he does not go to the bad. Had he been born poor the necessity of supporting him self might have developed In hint in dustry, self-reliance nnd a desire In umotint to something. On the other hand, a "boy of tin usual ability Is Jiot to lie pitied by .Mr. Carnegie or anybody else because he has parents who can give Tilm eil ucatlon, remove obstacles from ins path and let him have nil his time lor the cultivation of his powers and the pursuit of his career. No doubt many men who havo won sttceess owe It to tho gonrd of early poverty, tt tho struggles which sharpened their wits, strengthened their wills and enabled them to meas ure themselves accurately through competition with rivals. lift ween .Mr. Carnegie's comm'ne--atec "son of a millionaire" and the son of bitter poverty, however, there nro n good many degrees. A home of want may bo a very good schoo' for genius or very great talent, but tho world is full of men who ivju'iI have I cached n much more comfort nblo placo had thoy had hotter op portunities In boyhood. Tho excoi tlonal lad whose parents are -ory poor will find ways for mental Im provement, but tho average hoy in such circumstances, llko tho com monplace son of tho millionaire, will accept things as he fluds them. Ho will do his dally drudgery for btead and remain In the station wherein It has pleased Providence to placo him. That is, ho will "assimilate to his en vironment." - Each state has Its disadvantages, ns well as its advantages, but the judgment of most men of common sense Is against poverty ns n desira ble Inheritance. Ilrlng tho question homo to your. Kelt: Would you, If you nro rich, Hke your boy to ho deprived of tho chances your tnonoy Is nblo to offer him? And If you nro poor, would yon not llko to bo wcll-to-da to that you might give your son n hotter stnrt In life than, because of your poverty, he can havo? Hoys with the right kind or stuff in them, whether rich or poor, will nnn' age lo msl:e men of themselves. San Francisco Examiner.

Pendleton. Or Al a conference of the representa tives of capital and labor, held In New York. December 17. 1901. under the uusplces of the National Civic Federation, a permanent board was appointed lo settle differences be tween employers and the labor unions.
