O men of toil. Join handf
And seek your common good!
Cement yourselves with bands
Of love and brotherhood.
So long as you divide.
Distrusting each his neighbor.
So long you put aside
The victory of labor.
But when you stand ns one.
Determined to be free.
That hour will see the sun
Rise on your liberty.
Tour wrongs will ne'er be
righted
Until you are united.
J. A. Egerton.
An extension of the sewer system of
Pendleton will soon be necessary to
cover the new residence district on
the south hill. Within the past year
a dozen elegant new dwellings have
been built In that district and more
are contemplated for the coming year.
Expenses made necessary by the j
growth of the city are cheerfully met.
It Is really a misfortune to the city
that the Eagles did not arrange the
lower story of the elegant new build
ing on Court street for a theater.
Pendleton will be denied all the first
class shows as long as they cannot
place their scenery on the stage or
be otherwise accommodated In this
city. The present theater was suffi
cient for the city when it was built,
and has served the city well, but
everything else in Pendleton Is grow
ing, and If the city keeps up with the
better shows she must prepare for
them.
More people from Pendleton are
camping on the coast and living In
Portland this year than ever before,
and the same Is true of all other East
ern Oregon towns. This depletion of
the population of the various towns
makes business more dull than ever
before, even during the dull months
of July and August However, this
has not deterred business men from
preparing for the heaviest fall trade
ever enjoyed In Eastern Oregon. De
Bplte dull summer months shelves
have been cleared of old goods and
the fall season finds enormous ship
ments of new goods arriving.
The news stories secured and writ
ten by the East Oregonlan are reada
ble and In Hharp demand. The story
of the order of 400 new cars for the
O. R. & N.. which was printed In this
paper last Monday, was reprinted
without credit to the East Oregonlan
by the Buker City Democrat on Wed
nesday, and this morning the Morn
ing Trlt.une In this city, thinking It
had found a red-hot piece of railroad
news, reprinted the same story from
the Baker City Democrat, without
credit. Thus Is Industry and enter
prise rewarded. The East Oregonlan's
story was so well written and timely
that the Tribune prints It without
changing a word, a week after It ap
peared In this paper.
There Is now no question as to
where the sympathy of the servants
of the Waldorf-Astoria Is placed In
the battle for peace that Is on at
Portsmouth. Karon Komura and his
suite, on quitting the Waldorf-Astoria
last Saturday, where they had lodgs
ings, being politely willing to ac
quiesce In a usage unknown in Japan,
left behind them tips on a scale listed
as follows: "Steward, lluu; his sub
ordinates, sums ranging from 150 to
$20; head waiters, 150; ordinary
waiters, $20; hall boys, chambermaids
and employes ranking with them In
usefulness, $10." Antl-tlpplng re
formers look askance at this lavish
largess and are praying that we will
not have a Japanese peace commission
with us every week.
FASTER FREIGHT TRAINS.
Not only are pnssonser train
schedules being shortened everywhere,
but strenuous efforts are being made
to clip off hours and even days from
trans-rontlnental freight train sched
ules. One Instance of this comes to mind
w ith the opening of the banana season
on the Pacific coast. At the present
lime, strange an it may seem, the bulk
of Puset Sound ami Portlnnd bananas
come nort, bv a round-about way
,,..-, i..ifi -nil,,-,,.,
from New Orleans and 'then south
from Tacoma to Portland.
This Is because, with Its fast sched
ules and sure connection with the
south, the Northern Pacific can give
a nine-day train from New Orleans to
Portland by way of Puget Sound,
wlille the best the Southern Pacific
has ever done is an 11-day train from
New Orleans, although the main line
of that system seems to run directly
toward Portland, from the southern
ports.
So. in order to secure a portion of
this heavy and profitable traffic, the
Harriman lines will shorten their
schedules. They are as well equipped
as the other road, have a more direct
route, and can deliver the goods as
quickly as any other, but they have
mountain grades to contend with and
have been Increasing the tonnage of
nil freight trains of late years, which
has reduced the speed over a large
portion of the system.
The demand for special trains, how
ever, to handle trade from the Orient,
the orange and banana traffic and
other lines In which there Is sharp
competition, will clip off the long ends
of freight train schedules, and live
stock, fruits and other special com
modities will be given precedence over
lumber and coal on all the coast lines.
INJUSTICE TO ENGINEERS.
Enemies of the Panama canal and
of the administration of Theodore
Roosevelt are doing the country an
Irreparable Injury in discrediting the
work being done on the cnnal. It is
not possible that the entire plans of
Chief Engineer Wallace who preceded
Engineer Stevens, were wrong, and
that all the money so far expended Is
lost. Such statesments are idle and
pernicious. '
It may he that sanitation and sani
tary precautions did . not receive
enough attention In Panama Derore
the actual work of building the canal
was begun, but this is no aiscreuu w
the plans formulated or actual work
done by Wallace. This is an enor
mous undertaking and no one at a
distance Is a Just critic of the scheme
or the plans of an engineer on the
ground.
A large number of people favored
the Nicaragua route for a canal, but
they cannot logically oppose a canal
over the Panama route, unless all
their support of the Nicaragua route
was founded on selfish alms. A canal
Is a canal and the same ends will be
achieved by way of Panama as would
have been achieved by a Nicaragua
route.
YOUNG ASTOR AN AMERICAN.
Waldorf Astor, son and heir of
William Waldorf Astor, the expatriat
ed American, wns driving an Ameri
can automobile In London when a
prominent officer of the guards, who
was In a car ahead of him. tried to
prevent him from passing by turning
his machine from one side of the road
to the other.
When they met In a West End club
the guardsman asserted that he could
"run any American hustler off the
road."
"Yes." remarked young Astor, "if
you kept wabbling like a duck in a
thunderstorm as you did the other day
on the Brighton road."
"I am on officer and a gentleman,"
angrily observed the guardsman, "and
you must withdraw that remark."
"I will not," responded Astor, "and
what Is more, I will repeat It every
time I hear you disparaging my coun
trymen." "Your countrymen." sneered the of
ficer. "Your father abandoned Amer
ica to become a British subject, and
yau are a British subject, too."
"I don't care what my father Is,"
retorted young Astor, hotly. "I am
an American, and as an American I
stand by what I have said."
The two stood facing each other In
a threatening attitude, and had not
friends Intervened there would proba
bly have been an exchange of blows.

A PROPHECY OP SEATTLE
THIRTY YEARS AFTER,
About thirty year ago a lumber
schooner from Puget Sound cost an
chor at Portland, Ore. Among the
passengers was a young lawyer named
Cornelius N. Hanford, who registered
from the village of Seattle. A young
man named Eugene Semple, a native
of St. Louis, was employed as a re
porter on the Portland Dally Herald.
Toting Semple introduced himself to
young Hanford mid solicited an Inter
view. "We have a fresh water lake on
one side named Lake Washington,"
said young Hanford, becoming enthu
siastic, "and on the other sldo nro the
salt waters of Elliott bay. On the
strip of land three miles between Is
Seattle. Some day there will be a ship
canal cut through to the lake anil then
Seattle will be the largest city on the
Pacific coast."
Semple listened, made notes, and
was much Interested. In the morning
the Dally Herald contained an article j
about Hanford and Seattle, tub oiu
Portland pioneers smiled.
After a lapse of years young Sem
ple became governor of the territory
of Washington. Still later young Han
ford became the Judge of the United
States district and circuit court, a po
sition he holds to this day. Ho Is
probably best remembered as the
Judge who put the Northern Pacific
railway in the hands of a receiver.
At the present time ex-Governor
Semple Is the president of a great
corporation that Is filling In the Seat
tle tide flats, redeeming them for
business blocks and manufacturing
sites, and at the same time digging a
canal connecting the salt waters of
Puget Sound with the fresh waters
of Lake Washington, and the canal is
being extended along Hanford street
In Hanford's second addition to the
city of Seattle. World's Work for
August.
LIVE STOCK IN CHINA.
The Chinese method of dealing with
their domestic animals Is peculiar.
When not In use they spend their
lives anchored by a very short rope,
attached to a peg sunk deep in the
ground, ill front of the owner's dwell
ing. Pigs are kept In a kind of well.
with a brick wall to prevent caving
in. and for shelter a little kenurl Is
provided for them a the edge of the
pit. to which they can ascend by
climbing a very steep flight of brick
stairs.
A lot of Chinese horses and mules
Is not more happy. The Chinese cart
is a peculiar affair, and appears to
be of much tiie same type as In an
cient days. The ordinary passenger
cart is dragged by one animal in the
towns and by two in the country. The
country cart employed for hauling
produce, and also for all domestic
purposes by the great bulk of the
population, is a machine of phenom
enal weight. The wheel of one of
them was found to weigh 177 lbs.

MANY PHYSICIANS PRESCRIBE
Lydla Em Plnkham's
Vegetable Compound
The wonderful power of Lydia E.
Plnkham's Vegetable Compound over
the diseases of womankind is not be
cause it Is a stimulant, not because it
is a palliative, but simply because it is
the most wonderful tonic, and rccon
structor ever discovered to act directly
upon the generative organs, positively
curing disease and restoring health and
vigor.
Marvelous cures are reported from
all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed enres and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of
Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable, Com
pound, and arc fair enough to give
credit where it is due.
If physicians dared to be frank and
open, hundreds of them would acknowl
edge that they constantly prescribe
Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable Com
pound in severe cases of female ills, as
they know by experience it can be re
lied upon to effect a cure. The follow
ing letter proves it.
Dr. 8. C. Brigham, of 4 Brigham
Park, Fitchburg, Mass., writes :
" It gives me great pleasure to say that I
bare found Lydia K. Pinkbam's Vegetable
Compound very efficacious, and often pre
scrilie it in my practice for female difficulties.
"My oldest daughter found it very benefi
cial for uterine trouble some time ago, and my
youngwt daughter is now taking it for a fe
male weakness, and Is surely gaining In health
and strength.
" I freely advocate It as a most reliable spe
cific in all diseases to which women are sub
ject, and give It honest endorsement"
Women who are troubled with pain
ful or irregular menstruation, bloating
(or flatulence), leucorrhoea, falling, in
flammation or ulceration of the uterus,
ovarian troubles, that bearing-down
feeling, dizziness, faintness, indiges
tion, nervous prostration or the blues,
should take Immediate action to ward
off the serious consequences, and be
restored to perfect health and strength
by taking Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegeta
ble Compound, and then write to Mrs.
I'inkham, at Lynn, Mas., for farther
free advice. No living person has had
the benefit of a wider experience in
treating female Ills. She has guided
thousands to health. Every suffering
woman should ask for and follow her
advice if aha want to be strong and
well.

To these farm carls mules, horses,

UK t Ol l.D STAND ANOTHER.
Dinner was a little late.
A guest asked the hostess to piny
something.
.Sealing herself ut the piano, the
good woman' executed a Chopin noc
turn with precision.
She finished and there wus still an
Interval of waiting to be bridged.
In the grim silence she turned to an
old gentlemun on her right and said:
"Would you have a sonata before
dinner?"
He gave a start of surprise and
pleasure.
"Why, yes, thunks," he said. "I had
a couple on my way here, but I think
I could stand another." Chicago
Chronicle.
HOW JEROME GOT HIS NAME.
Wllllain Travers Jerome's name
was decided by the toss of a coin. His
father, Lawrence Jerome, was a great
friends of William Travers, the weal
thy stock broker, whose stutter and
Jokes used to keep his friends In con
tinual laughter. When Jerome's son
war born the father could not decide
whether to choose his own or his
friend's name. "T-t-toss for It," .'UB
gested Travers, and they did. The
stock broker won and the boy vas
named William Travers Jerome. It
was Travers who advised a stuttering
acquaintance to consult a ccrtiln doc
tor regarding his affliction. "You
c-c-can depend on his h-h-helplng
you." said Travers, "for he c-c-cured
me." Kansas City Star.
Wool ltuyors Would Contract.
Wool buyers would like to contract
next season's clip. This Is probably
designed to break up the sealed bid
pooling system. Growers will be al
most certain to remember to fight fire
with fire and hold onto their "trust."
Reports of largo sales may be taken
with a lump of salt, when made by
