Russell Sage, who has just passed his S!th year mark, says that he U going to "par" that he will live to be 100 years old. "The trouble with most men," he says. "Is that they (lie too young. It takes them 30 or 40 years to learn how to live and how to make money, and then, just as they have acquired knowledge, death gainers them in." Very many die without ever having learned how to make and keep money, of which art Rus sell Pago is past master, nnd yet they have LIVED. Russell Sage may go to "par." as he thinks, by existing a century, but then he will "go down to the vile dust from whence he sprung unwept, unhonored and unsung" without knowing the meaning of life, for he will not have lived ot all. Pan Francisco Star. It is a race between the automobile and the railroad train to sec which will return the most sanguinary rec ord for killing and maiming. Over 10,000 deaths are credited to the rail roads of the United States in the past year, but according to numbers car ried, the automobile far exceeds this record. As a hostess Portland !s a shining mark. As the different special days are pulled off at the exposition, she meets them gracefully and with be coming genius. So far not a state has complained of being Flighted or snubbed; not a city nor county that has celebrated has failed to receive just as much attention as though each was a separate kingdom of itself. Portland Is making a reputation as an entertainer which will be one of the long-remembered features of this 'western world's fair. When It Is r. membered that two and three and on many days even more special events are celebrated each day. without a hitch, tho magnitude of this hostess business becomes apparent. The three private schools and the excellent hospital in Pendleton bring a large number of people from the Interior of Oregon and from surround ing counties In direct touch with the city. Not a day passes that some one from a neighboring county Is not brought to Pendleton hospital. This forms lasting acquaintances for the c ity Not a day passes that some one from the interior does not write here about school facilities ut one of the excellent private schools, either the business college. Pendleton academy . c t,..,h'M academy. This brings families and portions of families horo and makes other fast friends for the m! Its Institutions. Anything that Pendleton can do to add to the : , on.i strength of these sehools should be cheerfully done. When a career of crime takes hold of a young man it rides him with a relentless speed and recklessness. Marry Lovell. who has Just been sent to the Washington penitentiary for stealing 142 which he did not need 1. a shining example of this. Within five years he has served one term. been arrested about a dozen times for petty crime and Is now wanted in two different places for theft of moneys. Ho Is a moderately bright young man. well qualified to do any kind of ordinary business, yet he must steal, steal, steal until his very name Is a hiss and a by-word among all of hi. ocuolntunces. He should be kept In prison. Ho has had plenty of op portunlty to do right. He has held good positions and has been befriend- ed by respectable men in hopes that he would do right if given a chance. There Is no place for the pllforex and thief in the world. Hoys should learn this early and never forgot It. Monoy getting Is not the only thing in life. Hereafter there need be no children out of school in Pendleton because of Inck of room, or luck of light or ven tilation or for tiny other cause, except lack of Interest on part of parents. The city Is prepared for tha best school period ever enjoyed by any western community. I-arse. airy, am ple school roomy, sufficient for 2000 pupils are now being fitted for use and when school opens on September 18, every child of school age should be found registered upon the rolls. The assistance of parents is especially Invited and solicited by tho superin tendent and by the school board, In securing a full attendance, .every day, not part of the time, but all the time. The people are the beneficiaries of the great expenditure for new buildings and the excellent opportunity now be fore the young men and women of the city should be fully enjoyed. The foreclosure of u mortgage on the old Lincoln homestead in Ken tucky recalls Mrs. Eva Emery Dye's thrilling story of the escape of Lin coln's father from a horrible death by the tomahawk. When his father was a boy in Kentucky, just arrer tho first settlers had come into that new wil derness from Virginia, the Indians murdered his mother and brothers one day, and a redskin had seized Lincoln's father, then a boy of 10, but as he raised tho bloody tomahawk over the boy's head to strike him dead, a brother who came upon the scene shot the Indian dead. The torn ahawk fell from his nerveless hand, and the boy about to be murdered, lived to become the father of Abraham Lincoln. The story Is told In 'The Conquest" and should be familiar to every lover of history. In a land that is founded upon the fruits of civilization and order. It is disheartening to men who work for the good of society to see their work sneered down, ridiculed and belittled by a large class of seemingly good citizens who are willing to consort with any form of vice or disorder which promises them dollar In re turn. We prute about the sterling manhood of America, the fearlessness of American citizens and all that, while at the same time there are comparatively few "proud Americans" In any community who will place principle and civic righteousness above money, and the few who do this are ostracised, boycotted and ridi culed. Less interest Is taken in the Nation al Irrigation congress this year than In any previous year since the organi zation was formed 14 years ago.. Whether this lack of Interest Is due to the fact that the object of tho as sociation has been achieved In starting the government Irrigation projects and the enthusiasts nre resting on their oars, or whether the people have had a falling off of zeal In the association as a ditch builder, owing to the enor mous amount of red tape that must be observed by the reclamation depart ment before reaching results. Is not now to be discerned. GROWING AWAY FROM SAFETY The railroad mileage of the United States, June 3. 1904, the end of the latest year of official computation, was 297,073. In all the rest ot the world there Is little more than 300 000 miles of track. This country has approximately one-twentieth of the world's popula tion, a fifth of the world's money, two-thirds of the world's banking power. The growth of our railroad systems ha ceased to be a marvel. It Is an expression, natural enough, of the country's size In square miles, In crease In population and resources in wealth and energy. There is another detail of railway report not at all grateful. In the fis cal year of current note there were 94,201 casualties of the rail, as against 83,393 In 1UH2-03. Of the 10,046 persons killed 441 were passeij gers. One passenger was kill ed In every 1.622.267 carried, as against one in every 1,957, 441 In 1902-3, and one In 2,163,461 for the year ending Juno 30, 1901. One trainman In every 120 was killed In the new year record, one for every nine was injured. In the light of these figures the fresh report from the Interstate com mrece commission carries an old les son and warning. We are paying large attention to railroad promotion and actually falling away from the detail of railway safety. New Yoik World. Near the Panama canal exists gold mines abandoned by Spain centuries ago. They will soon he reopened. See to It that your wife In kissed and caressed, even If you have to do It yourself. Says an exchange. INDUSTRIAL REAWAKENING IN PANAMA, The new republic of Panama ap pears to have caught tho spirit of Im provement and progression from American enterprise that Is building tho canal across the Isthmus, says tho Denver Post. Harbors, highways, nnd railways and a new city are, among tho pro jects to which President Amador has given his approval and upon which work Is In progress. At present the central provinces of Los Santos, Co de and Veraguas are tho fields for the greater part of theso Improve ments for which $1, 050, 000 (silver) has been appropriated. The harbors of Pescadorlas and Pu erto Posada are to be Improved, so that It will be possible for passengers and cargo to be received and landed at wharves. With the exception of Panama City, the port of Agua Dulce Is at this time the only harbor on the Pacific where It Is possible for ves sels to discharge and load from piers. The project Is to have. In tho not far distant future, first, good roads and. later, railways, stretching across the plains and foot hills, through the mountain passes, to the Atlantic, and thus develop rich natural resources which today He dormant. ' Long ago abandoned gold minus have recently been relocated, and are now worked with profit. The crude methods of the Spaniards were only successful where the mineral veins were most accessible. The results ob tained by the use of modern facilities will surpass those of the original dis coverers. Because of the lack of transportation facilities coal and Iron have lain undisturbed In the flanks of the hills. A largo area of fine woods will be come accessible when better commun ication is established. Cocoanuts. cof fee and rubber grow wild In luxuri ance. To cite an example. It Is credibly re ported that an Indian cacique pos sesses 25,000 rubber trees. With the benefits of cultivation and transpor tation to an available market, a rub-j ber crop yields a profit of from 1 toj J2 (silver) per tree. Necessary Indian labor can be obtained for about 10 cents (silver) per tree. Improvements to the harbor of Pu erto Posada and the highway between that place and Pcnonome are under way. Basket and ropo making and the manufacture of genuine Panama hats are carried on In this vicinity. The port of Posada will serve as nn nutlet for the products of these Indus tries. On tho far side of Penonome the highway will be continued through mountain passes and over the hills to the Atlantic. From the port of Agua Dulce to the city of tho same name tho highway, w ith Its necessary grades and bridges. Is practically completed. This route will be further continued lwyond Agua Dulce. to the Santa Maria river. The river Is to be spanned by an ex tensive steel bridge, the contract for which has been allotted to an Ameri can bridge company. All new national roads are to be 50 feet wide, and the highways, as well as all bridges upon them, are to be built with a view to the practicability of paralleling them with narrow-gauge railways. Midway between Agua Dulce and Penonome a site for a model town has been planned. A public plaza, 460 feet square Is to be the center of the town, and around It will be grouped a church, school, government and municipal buildings, and a mar ket. The town will be provided with a complete system of waterworks, electric lights, sewerage and drainage, Recently proposals have been asked for tho construction of a government palace and natlonnl theater In the city of Panama. THE "SWELLING TOAD." The wonder of the genus butruchla and tho greatest natural history oddity to bo found along the Atlantic coast of the United States is tho swelling toad, a Bcmi-aquutlc creature known to naturalists as bufomuchalatus. It is occasionally met with from New York city to Jacksonville, Flu., but is most common along the coasts of Vir ginia, Maryland and North Carolina. When In Its natural state the "swell toad" is about the size of a large bull frog, but looks more like a fish than It does like either a frog or a toad. It Is about six Inches in length and has the curious faculty of being able to swell to the size of a football, In which state Its legs, tall and head are scarce ly visible. a Irritation appears to be the chief factor In causing theso curious crea tures to Inhale air until they swell almost to bursting. Tho bellies of both the males and femalos aru nearly pure whlto and are covered with spines which give that portion of tholr anatomy the appcaranco of a well ripened Jlmson burr. Persons who understand tho "swell toad" and know what an Irritable little rascal It la catch It and rub the spines on its belly when It swells up until It Is utterly helpless. Another curious point about the creature is that as long as It Is kept on its back it Is unable to expel the air so us to reduce the swelling. Exchange. HAD III Ti lt. I'ulted States Consul Huinni sends from Hull, England, the sapient thought that perhaps one reason why we sell less butter than formerly In (Treat Uiltuln Ik that the butter Is not good. The Itrttfsli government's annual analyses show that out of 09 samples of American butter 54 contained borle ncld and 43 contained coloring mat ter. The (ieriunu. New Zealand, Aus tralian, French and Belgian samples were even worse. Canada's showing j was sightly bettor, while Denmark. Sweden, Norway and even Russia made a far better test. Here Is an Instructive contrast: llorlc Coloring Samples, acid, matter I'niteil States. . s 54 43 Denmark 271 1 124 Norway 7!i 0 9 Sweden 212 4 '60 In Denmark the purity of exported foods has been made a matter of government supervision; yie coloring matter used In so many of the sam ples Is harmless. The people have profited by It; Denmark's foreign trade has grown greatly. Americans at home get no better butter than we export. Five times out of six It may contain boric acid, for all we know when It Is butter at all. And congress, in the interest ot a few wealthy adulterators upon a gigantic scale, refuses to pass a pure food law. New York World. A LITTLE WAY.
