Are loosed to toss In childish

Until the mother bears no bur-

The precious one beneath her

WELCOME, TO PENDLETON.
If it were as easy to build good
roads over the sage brush hills as It
Is pleasant and delightful to welcome
the good roads delegates to Pendleton,
surely Umatilla county would have
marble boulevards and country high
ways putting iu Ename ine uuusieu
turnpikes of Italy or England.
Umatilla county not only needs good
roads, but she needs a good roads
enthusiasm, which It Is hoped she will
freely Imbibe from this convention.
She needs a goods roads theory which
will enter Into future expenditures
for county highways. She needs a
systematic plan of making roads a
plan that will prevent the repetition
of washouts and chuck holes, year In
and year out, with a continuous stream
of county funds pouring Into these
familiar old chuck holes, year after
year, with no sign of abatement.
From the high officials, experts,
students and enthusiasts, It is hoped
that Umatilla county draws a lasting
and profitable Inspiration. She needs
It. She needs a plan that will build
good roads. If she builds but a mile a
year, rather than to build 100 miles
of temporary road which must be re
built at greater cost next year.
Umatilla county Is not alone In this
pressing need of better roads. All of
Oregon can safely attend these con
ventions and learn, for there Is little
systematic roadbulldlng anywhere In
the state.
It Is hoped that your enthusiasm Is
contagious and that Umatilla county
is seized with a mania for good roads
that will not be satisfied until the
1800 miles of roads In the county are
rebuilt on an Imperishable basis.
Welcome!
There Is no one to tell you to stop
talking. Pendleton Is a graceful lis
tener! EDUCATION AT THE FAIR.
Until the people of Oregon visit the
Lewis and Clark fair and come In ac
tual contact with the great resources
of their own northwest land, they will
not thoroughly comprehend the scope
and value of this exposition.
It will be a carnival of education, a
continuous round of Instruction from
the day It opens until the last door
closes on October 16.
Aa an example of the education to
be received. It is only necessary to
mention outlines of the exhibit of
the western states. Even these -western
exhibits will offer a study that
will be worth the fair and all Its cost
to the people, to say nothing of the
vast variety of other state and for
eign exhibits.
Wyoming will have on display 300
distinct exhibits of oil, from the most
highly refined and purified typewriter
and sewing machine oil, to the crude
locomotive lubricant How many Or
egonians know of this vast possibility
of the state of Wyoming? The same
state will present 10 distinct grades
and qualities of coal, one exhibit of
coal to consist of a lump weighing
over eight tons, enough to last a
family nearly a year.
Idaho will have on display over 100
varieties of fruit. Utah will present
the most varied exhibit of any west
ern state, and tt is said will show 300
distinct Industries growing out of ir
rigation. All this will be an education to the
westerner, worth all the cost of the
fair. Oregonians will come home
from this exposition, bigger, broader,
more cosmopolitan, more polished
than ever.
THE ROOSEVELT EPOCH.
When future hlstorluns write the
annals of Oregon, they will stop short
and draw a long breath when they
arrive at the year 1905, and behold
the first sharp outlines of the Roose
velt epoch In state politics.
The wild carnival of political cor
ruption and boss rule that has con
verted the state into a plaything of
rlngsters and turned the conduct of
federal and state officers Into a satur
nalia of get-rich-qulck methods, Is, on
this memorable year, brought to a sud
den and discomfiting halt, and the
Roosevelt era. clad In fearless hones
ty of purpose and cleanliness of mind
places on Oregon a new and bright
personality.
Despite the guarded gates of the
corruptionists, Roosevelt Invades the
precincts of the high officials, with a
sacreligious tread that has sent con
sternation to their guilty souls.
He asks no advice, but only says,
"Let the ax descend." He seeks no
council, but only says, "Take charge
of Oregon and cleanse It of fraud."
Future generations In Oregon will
bless this fearless man, Roosevelt. If
he does nothing more than to rescue
the state from the hands of politicians
and give it over to the people again,
his administration will not have been
In vain.
It is too near tb opening of the
Lewis and Clark fair for the state
commission and the corporation to
engage in a war over the question of
authority. It would be unfortunate
for the state and would cast discredit
on the fair. Let the fair proceed, and
let the state's money be expended as
intended. The money has been ap
propriated and is now for the most
part used in preparation for the fair.
But let the state learn a lesson from
this and not engage In the exposition
business again. Let us keep our
hands clean of any future fair or
ganized and promoted for personal
gain by professional promoters. The
sate cannot afford to "fluke" now,
as the gates are about ready to open.
Stand up and take the medicine even
though it removes the hide, but let
us not get mixed up with a fair cor
poration again. .
Sheriff Tom Word is now raiding
the private poker games of Portland,
and declares that he will close all
forms of gambling In that city. He
will come very near doing as he says,
too, although the city admlnistretlon
is dead against him. If Tom Word,
single-handed and alone.' can crush
out this vice In Portland, a city of
120,000 population, what utter folly
to say that It cannot be crushed out
in a measly country town of 7000
people.
HER LAST WORD.
The family gathered round her bed,
And many a teardrop fell
The while she struggled hard for
breath
To bid them all farewell.
In youth's full bloom she found her
fate.
Crushed by a crowd malign
While striving for the bargain hats
At a dollar ninety-nine.
Ah. never more those dainty feet
will course from dawn till night
Through the dry goods district's
crowded ways
Or In bargains take delight.
And never those fast glazing eyes
Will arlow with loy Intense
O'er the capture of a dollar prize
Reduced to sixty cents!
She strove to speak. With halting
breath
Her last Instructions gave,
Then turned with a beseeching Jook
To her husband, sad and grave.
'Oh, promise me," she hoarsely spake
(Her eyes like glowing lamps),
'You'll choose an undertaker who
Given uurple trading stamps!"
E. D. Plerson, In New York Herald
COLDEST CITY IN THE WORLD
In the dead of winter many people
are apt to think that they are living
in the coldest city In the world. That
distinction belongs to Yakutsk, In
eastern Siberia. It Is the capital of
the province of that name, which, In
most of Its area of a million and a
half of square miles, Is a bare desert,
the soil of which Is frozen to a great
depth. There are about 400 houses
of European build In Yakutsk. They
stand apart, the Intervening spaces
being occupied by winter yoorts, or
huts, of the northern nomads, with
earthen roofs, doors covered with
hairy hides, and windows of Ice.
Fifteen eastern Washington high
schools and several from Idaho, are
participating In the lntereeholastlc
field meet at Pullmaav
WHERE TRAMPS COME FROM,
"The great class of homeless men
In till country Is constantly being re
cruited from the best boys of Amer
ica, not the worst. I say deliberate
ly that the rnnjovlty of homeless men,
our tramps, and casual labor men, are
American born, and In some cases
they ccme from the best Amerlcun
families."
Tills was the significant statement
made by Raymond Bobbins of the
Xcithwestern University Social Set
tlement of Chicago, who addressed a
large audience In Plymouth church.
Brooklyn, the other night, after a res
idence of four years in the slum dis
trict of Chicago, studying the home
less man problem, on which he is now
an authority.
"I have spent (600 in Investigating
a single case, and in all I have un
through 7000 Individual cases of
homeless men, and 1 know whereof
I speak." continued Mr. Bobbins. "To
be sure, I found foreigners, not a
great luny proportionately but a
considerable number. But it has been
proved that the foreigners stand so
much harder treatment than the
American boy, that they are every day
displacing the American boy in our
great Industries, and he Is going out
on the streets and on the road."
The reason for the great army of
homeless men that we now have In
America, Mr. Robbins said, was the
frontier of a hundred years ago of
fered to the youth who would try
their mettle with nature. "Today,"
said he, "that great opportunity is
closed, the frontier Is gone forever,
and from the country districts of New
England, the great Middle West and
the West come the youth to try their
fortunes In the cities like Chicago
and New York. Under what differ
ent conditions does the boy start out
today than he did 50 or 100 years ago.
The mining camp of the West was In
calculably safer than what confronts
the boy in our city now."
One group of the homeless class,
Mr. Robbins described as the "people
who never get started." "They will
never reach manhood Juid woman
hood," he said, "with enough rich
blood to make them what the coun
try needs. It Is In our tenements
that boys and girls are being educat
ed for the casual labor class, are being
fashioned for It hour after hour. I
know that strong men can come out
of tenements, but I am talking of the
average man, and It Is to the average
man that the country should give a
chance. People say there Is plenty
of room at the top, but I want room
at the bottom; I want things so the
average man has a chance."
Wild Horses In Nevada.
Wandering across the deserts of
Nevada are large bands of wild
horses. These enterprising animals
have Inflicted so much damage upon
ranchers and travelers In general
through a' habit of stampeding and
kidnaping domestic stock, at which
they are experts, that all humanity Is
against them and no opportunity Is
neglected to kill them. This has cre
ated such a distrust in the minds of
the equine savages that It Is practi
cally impossible to get within shoot
ing distance of a band unless they are
asleep, as often happens.

Mrs. L. Hodson, of 717 Aura street,

Itself apparent in the kidneys them
selves, nor In the secretions, 1 have
been bothered more or less by an
aching across the small of my back,
then down and through my kidneys.
When I caught cold It hurt me aero
my loins and made me feel lame and
sore. I got a box of Doan's Kidney
Pills at the Brock & McComas Co.
