One of the most widespread
superstitions is that every man
has his own special, definite
qualities; that n man is kind,
cruel, stupid, energetic, apa-
the Uc or wise. Men are not like
that. Men arc like rivers; the
water is the same In each and
alike in all; but every river Is
narrow here, wider there, deep,
shallow, rapid, sluggish, now
clear, now cold, now dull, now
rtrra. So with men. Every
man carries In himself the germs
of every human quality, some-
times one manifests It. some-
times another. Tolstoy. In the
"Resurrection."
BEST THirMl'H OF IMS.
The East Oregonian has been asked
to prepare a 600-word article on the
best triumph of the city of Pendleton
for the year 1905. The article In ques
tion Is to be printed In a distant paper
and circulated to an Innumerable
number of eastern people, so the East
Oregonian desires to write of the sub
ject which will be most valuable to
the city from the standpoint of an ad
vertisement. There is but one overshadowing tri
umph for the year 1905 the new'
public school buildings, and these
shall be the theme.
There are other triumphs. It is true
commercial, financial. Industrial,
moral and otherwise, but this one
achievement overshadows them all.
This achievement will stand In the
history of the city. The year 1905
will be memorable because of these
new buildings and therefore In select
ing one subject from among the mul
titude of entertaining subjects to be
found In the city, this one comes fore
most and will be given the honor.
In preparing adequate school facili
ties the city has spent over $60,000
and has prepared room for nearly
(2000 scholars a standing Invitation
to homesctkers and people seeking
schools.
Trade has been heavy, crops have
been enormous, shipments of mer
chandise have Increased over any pre
vious year, bank deposits have grown,
new mercantile establishments have
been added and old firms have en
larged all these are happy themes for
the city to consider and talk about; all
are valuable advertisements, but In
the estimation of the East Oregonian
the crowning triumph of the year 1905
Is the erection and equipment of three
elegant public school buildings, con
taining 20 rooms, all provided with the
latest ventilating, healing and lighting
conveniences.
So this shall be the theme of the
article.
JUST A REMINDER.
F.emlr.dera of past follies are now
coming to the people In quick sue
cession.
Especially are these reminders most
painful and embarrassing to the poo
pie of the west
The last reminder which has cut to
the "quick" Is the compulsory pur
chase of a portion of Thj Dalles Mili
tary Wagon road land grant from
the Booth-Kclley Lumber company,
by the government, for the sum of
$900,000 for use In the construction
of the Klamath Irrigation project.
Just think of the people purchasing
their own land from a grasping cor
poration, which has thrived upon gov
ernment favoritism and which
through corrupt legislators and cor
rupt political deals, Is enabled to sell
the people their own possessions at
exorbitant figures!
The company now owning the mill
tary road grant is not the original
company securing the land, however,
but the principle Is the same. The
people are forced to buy their own
land from a private corporation be
fore they can proceed with needed lr.
rlgatlon works.
In other Instances the state and
Itovernmcnt have been deprived of
magnificent wnter source, available
both for power and Irrigation, by prl
vato corporations , which are holding
uch for 'peculation and not for utili
ty. Cltl- have been deprived of water
sources by private Individuals who dic
tate it-rmH to the entire municipality
In the matter of water supply. The
people are striving against untold dif
ficulties to necui-e water for domestic
purposes as the cities grow, while
their rights are usurped by one Indi
vidual. These reminders should drive the
people to protest against the disposal
of public privileges to private corpor
ations, against the wholesale donation
of public land to private companies,
no matter what the purpose.
The government should havo built
the wagon road across Oregon and
ki'jil the land for the people. As It is,
the road was not built and the land
was given away beside a double in-
I justice io the people.

Andrew Carnegie, like numedous
other successful men at our day, is
Inclined to think there are no roads
to success but his own. says the Seat
tle Star.
By all means, he says In effect, be
Industrious and honest and loyal, but
don't go to college If commerce Is
to be your chosen sphere.
A man with a college education, the
ironmaster says. Is lost to commerce.
He has wasted three or four years on
the lives of "old ruffians who lived
2000 years ago" and has lost precious
time.
In the main, perhaps. Carnegie Is
right, and In view of some of the reve
lations concerning high finance which
have been made In the last year the
fact that a college training may unfit
a man for business is highly creditable
to the colleges.
It might be worth considering that
If educated men may gain nothing
from business, business has much to
gain from educated men.
The brutal animal greed that enters
so largely Into general business might
safely be sacrificed io higher and
more humane instincts.
Business success ought to mean
more than mere selfish accumulation.
It ought to mean the basis upon which
ivillzatlon. human progress and the
welfare of the millions rest The full
meaning can never come to an Ignor
ant man.
He who is pleased ignnrantly to
wallow in his own accumulations and
to regard his achievement as superior
to that of men of better brains but
less wealth let him look to the hog
for his own superior according to his
own standard of Judgment
But Carnegie forgets that his own
uccess would have been impossible
but for the higher education of other
men whose brains he smelted In his
scientific department of steel.
And then he forgets, too, that even
for the business man there are higher
and better things in life than business,
and pitiable and less than fully human
is he who has not the breadth and
clearness of vision to see them.

THE BABY CHOP.
Comes the bishop of London. His
lordship bewails the scarcity of chil
dren. This sounds strange from a
swarming city where societies are or
ganized to send away to Canada, to
the United States, to Australia and
elsewhere the surplus children who
crowd the purlieus.
His lordship no doube bewailed the
scarcity of children among the mod
ern wealthy. He could not have
meant royalty, because good Queen
Victoria had set the pace and other
royal houses are In no way solitary.
He could not have meant the lower
strata, because the aphorism, "a poor
man for children and a nigger for
dogs," holds good wherever there are
poor men or niggers.

CHAMPION EATER.
The eating championship of the
world Is claimed by a Montreal dock
laborer named Pierre Dalbec. Not
long ago he ate four dozen boiled eggs
in 20 minutes, and as he feared that
he was a little behind time he swal
lowed the laHt half dozen shells and
all. On another occasion he drank
175 glasses of beer In a day, but his
most recent achievement waa to eat
In one evening six beefsteaks, seven
plates of beans and eight ham omel
ettes, without counting a prodigious
quantity of bread.
Within the past month 169 new en

SAN
One jf the most difficult and dan
gerous engineering feats recorded In
lighthouse construction has been the
erection of the new light station on
the famous "Mile Itock." located Just
outside of the Hidden Gate San Fran
cisco harbor. This station has Just
been finished, uftr more than a year's
work, at n cost to the government of
more than $100,000.
Kor the past half century. Mile Rock
has been a standing menace to all
vessels entering, or departing from,
the Hay of San Francisco, The rock
stands three-eighths of a mile off the
southern shore of the entrance, and
Just one mile eastward from a line
drawn from North Head across to the
Cliff House beach. As the rock was
too large to blow up, the government
finally determined to beacon it. The
very liberal appropriation of $100,000
was made In view of the fact that the
difficulties of building this particular
station were great, and the perils ex
treme. At mean tide the sharp and Jugged
reck Jutted out only 16 feet above the
surface of the heaving waters. At
very high tide the points were entire
ly submerged. It was a mere rocky
pivot exposed to the full force and
fury of open sea, winds, and sweep
ing tidal currents. Only 1000 square
feet could be found on the rock after
the rough edges were leveled off
around the ragged sides: and for the
foundation but TOt square feet were
secured for the base.
Over and around these ragged pin
nacles was constructed a huge steel
cylinder 42 feet high, elliptical In
shape, 40 feet long, and 25 feet wide
In the broadest place. This great cylinder-base
was composed of steel
plates 2 feet and 10 Inches wide, and
three-fourths inch thick, very strong
ly riveted together boiler fashion.
All the Inside space wa filled with
concrete nearly of pure cement. The
point and sides of the rock Jutted up
ward, and, uniting with the hardened
cement, formed so many powerful
massive braces to hold the cylinder
foundation Impregnably firm against
the fury of the gales and seas. Over
1200 barrels of cement were required
to form the foundation, and 60 tons
of steel plates were used. Above the
foundation was erected the main tow
er rising 50 feet, and requiring 92
tons additional steeel. The total height
of the- station above mean sea level Is
92 fet.
All the work was done by sailors,
under the personal supervision of an
engineer; for so great and constant
wer the perils of operating on the
wave-swept rock that no regular
landsmen could be found ' hardy
enough to undertake the task.
The materials were all carried out
on a little steam tender, and landed
amid the greatest difficulties and
dangers. Necessarily, the work pro
gressed very tardily. It Is a remarka
ble fact that no lives were lost, and
no serious accidents occurred during j
the building of this navigation beacon.
For many years, the beaconing of this

XO PLUCKING THERE.
Representative Smith, of Pennsyl
vania was recently in one of the de
partments at Washington "looking
after" one of hia constituents. "I
wrote you a letter," said the represen
tative, "and I urn reminded of what
happened in my state about a letter
of Introduction.
"A rich old farmev who lived near
Philadelphia, got tangled up in a
money matter with one of his neigh- i
bors. Mr. Alston, tor that was his j
name, sought an attorney, who gave '
him a letter of Introduction to a
brother lawyer in Philadelphia, at
which place it waa necessary to enter
the suit. The letter was delivered to
the lawyer, and while he was reading
It he was called out of the room,
leading the letter on his desk. Mr.
Alston let curiosity get the best of
him and picked up the letter and read
It. The letter closed with, 'Mr. Alston
Is a fat goose; pluck him heavily.'
"That was enough for the rich old
farmer, and, seizing a pen, he wrote;
" 'P. S. The goose has flown, feath
ers and all.'
"It took him about three seconds to
amble down the ste -a and Into the
street, and he bus not had anything
to do with lawyers from that day to
this, preferring to pluck his own
geese." Philadelphia Record. ''
