W, Citeml at Pendleton postofllce as seccoud class matter. For 27 years a fence CO feet high has marred ..ie bt?ati"tlf tlT residence property of the late Clias. Crocker. It was a "spite fence," erected by Crocker to shut out the stmltgnt of a home whoso owner, for sentl .mental reasons, would not sell the property. The house, with the light thus shut out, be came uninhabitable: and it was sold as old lumber a score of years ago. The lot nni ro mained vacant ever since. It was then worth about 3,n00: it sold this week for $2,7,000. The "spite fence" could ' not prevent the growth of tho com munity and the consequent In crease in the value of the earth which It surrounded. San Francisco Star. Until every boy mid girl In Oregon reads "Tho Conquest." written by Airs. Eva Emory Dye, and learns from her matchless stories of tho settle' ment of the great central west, and the long, bloody struggle of tho pio neers for mastery in tho land of suv- agory, they will novcr know tho cost of this western land they now enjoy, From tho time tno first hunters cleared the "wilderness road" ncnus the Cumberland mountains from Vir ginia Into iventucky until tho Pacific ocean was reached by tho tide of settlement, tho pathway was marked with blood and suffering. If over a people had cause to celebrate an event in tho history of the west, it is the centennial anniversary of tho trip of Lewis nnd Clark across the continent. It Is Impossible for the younger generation, enjoying tho happy homes of the west, to fully appreciate the meaning of such ,111 undertaking as those heroes un iiluchingly made. Had they failed, or had they turned back before reaching tho goal, it is very likely the history of the Pacific coast would have been mndo by other pio neers than tho Americans. The30 captains gave us the Oregon country, and Mrs. Dye has told tho story us 110 other writer has ever done. V CONSIDER THE POOR. The East Oregonlan believes that there should be one day of rest out of each week, for the employes of tho Lewis and Clark fair, and it also be lieves more emphatically That there should be one day on which tho thousands of poor people arid work ingmen in the city of Portland and vicinity should be at liberty to take their families and enjoy all the feat ures of the fair. Both of these objects cannot be gained by closing the fair on Sunday. Sunday is the worklngman's only holiday, under the present social con dition, and to close the fair on tint day will deprive thousands of seeing and enjoying it. Any other day would answer the purpose of physical and mental rest for the employes Just as well as Sun day, and providence Is not going .0 look unkindly on any plan of man's which has for Its object the enlight enment, enjoyment and bettermeut of the poor, whom tho Savior blessed on more than one occasion. Religious scruples in this enlight ened and tolerant age aro certainly Umatilla county with an nrea of 1,S79,6S0 acres, receives $2,779.39 for I tlie year 19u4, as her proportion of the receipts of government land sales In Oregon, this amount to bo applied to the county roads. With the county levy for this purpose the ensuing year should witness a great er Improvement than over In the country roads, Tho soil of Umatil la county is especially adapted :o tho construction of good roa..s, and very little nirnuy reaches a long way, In completing the work of nature. At least two or three miles of ox perimentnl crushed rock should bo built tho coming year, on some of the worst lanes leading into the comi ty seat, and as the virtue of tills kind of road Is tested from year to year It should be extended as It proves valuable Indians with money have no trouble In securing whisky In this city. The same thing may be said of Lowlston whero an Indian was ar rested with a live-gallon Jug hid un der the hay in his wagon. In Pen dleton tho quart bottlo is tho limit, but It Is passed with such frequency that tlie same, happy result is ob tained, through patienco and perse verance. If tho city would always get a fine from the drunken Indian, the curse would bo somewhat re lieved, from the mercenary stand point, but the whisky peddler gets tho first call upon the resource of the Siwash, and the city is left to feed a broke Indian In the city jail, while serving out a sentence. Tne whisky , ,, , , ., , .1. peddler should divide up with tho not so blind to the common good that , 1 must work all week for their dally bread, one brief glance at the won ders that will be gathered at the fair, becauso the masses are released from toll, only on Sunday. If all tho employers In tho city will consent to a Saturday holiday, for all employes, during the fair, well and good. Under that arrangement, closo the fair on Sunday, Hut If tho worklngman cannot be released from his labor on a we 3k day, so he can tako his family and seo all that is to ha seen, don't turn him against the church, religion, Rod and ovory other holy thing, by deny ing his family i.iat which others more fortunate seo and enjoy. There Is a broad, tolerant medium In religion and worship, as In all other questions, and the church peo ple cannot hope to win tho friend ship of those who need tho church, by denying the families of thoso who aro unfortunate enough to bo popr. tho privileges fully enjoyed by tho moro fortunnto and well-to-do, If all tho worklngmen and their families cnu seo the fair, on n week Winston's Weekly tells the follow- I Ing plain truth about the .nterstato commerce commission, Its powers, duties and excuse for existence.; "Tho principal function of tho Inter atoto commerce commission In to mnko an annual report to Congress, showing how badly tho railroads of tho country need regulating and how Important tho commission Is to ac complish anything for tho public good. Each report closes with a playful appeal to congress to go amend tho law as to justify In a small degree at least, tho continued existenco of tho commission. To tills congress always turns a deaf ear, and always will do so as long ns tho people permit the railroads to select their senators nnd congrdss men for them." THE SULTAN'S 8PEECH. In tho list of nations which aro lo be represented at the World's fair by national pavilions, Morocco probably will bo missing. Secretary Stevens states that It Is not now expected that Morocco will olllclally 'participate by erectlng a pavilion, but thnt sonio tmo doubtless, will bo nimld with tho $rl), 000 appropriated. According to Information received by tho evposltlou coiuiulsaloners from Commissioner J. W. S. Ijtiigermnu, wlio recently returned from n mission to Morocco, liolng empowered as tho Sultan's commissioner on ills return, the amount appropriated by that po tentate was 150,000. Anont this im propriation an Interesting story is told l.v Mr. D.iiilorth. assistant to Com missioner l.angonunn. Tho amount was not given with very good grace, line- Id .Mr. Donforth who nuotes the Sultan as saying: "Here Is JWi.imu, Tnio it ami mo what you please with It. I don't caro ,!,.. von iiu, II fin' the Wnrlil'R fair or put It In your own pocket. I don't know where St. Louis is, eccopt n,.,t It la cimimvhem ill tlin United States, and I don't caro, and please tell rresiuunt i-raucis, wimuvur u h, to stop writing mo letters about his I., I,- nu I nm Mr-nil nf uettlnir them." Mv. Dantorth says that tlie money was brought to Tangier in Decem ber by Langerninn and deposited tlieie. llelng In sliver, It required n caravan of about 20 mules to trans port the money through tho desort. When counted It was lound to bo all good money, however, with the excep tion of some $300 counterfeit pieces. THE POST'S NATIONAL EYE.

Today, If announcing himself as a candidate. Senator Hannn would have to give pledges to carry out his rival's policy. William It. Hearst, the most persis tent auti-Itoosovelt agitator in United States, has been forced to declare he I is not opposed to the Panama canal. He urges the adoption of Roosevelt's Panama treaty as a national measure. John Sharp Williams, Democratic leader In the house, writes thnt tho Democrats will not make an issue of Roosevelt's "action ut Panama. "Wo are not Idiots," says Williams. Sen- ntor (Jormnn, whose victory in Mary land on the negro issue placed him In front as the Southern candidate for the Democratic nomination, has lost prestige by his light against the Panama treaty. The South Is uimnl- nious for the canal. And William .1. Hrynn Is not saying a word. Ills speecho son "The Moral Issuo" let the canal alone.
