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

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

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

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.
