To the wise men know why the
south winds blow.
Bringing the rstn of blessing?
Does the sage know why we live
and die,
Dust with our dust caressing?
Ah no, and ah no! But they
maunder still
Of "thus It has been, and thus
It will";
But their knowledge of why for
aye Is nil,
And vain Is their solemn
guessing.
The wind blows In and the wind
blows out,
And the rains fall east and
west.
And the fafth Is best which feels
no doubt
That all for us all Is blest
For after It all. when all Is done,
Though the wise men seek and
tne sages run.
The Etheral Why finds answer
none
And the faith of the child Is
best.

PARK FOR PENDLETON.
The East Oregonlan takes keen de
light in the Increasing sentiment in
favor of a public park for the city on
the site of the old cemetery north of
the river. .j
The creation of such a park and
he erection of a suitable memorial
tablet to the memory of pioneers who
now sleep there will stand as an ever
lasting monument to those who have
the courage, public spirit and energy
to take this matter in hand and push
it to completion.
Sleeping there now Is some of the
best blood of the county men and
women who carved Its first civlliza- j
tlon from the savage wild, and who
built the foundations upon which
the later generation is enjoying peace,
prosperity and security.
In Its present condition the ceme
tery is a mockery. Charred, ruined,
neglected, despoiled by wind and
weather and left to fall away piece
meal although It was left to the sa
cred trust of the city by those who
gave it as a resting place for our
pioneers.
The city council and the Commer
cial association should get together,
confer with the trustees of the ceme
tery and take immediate steps for the
conversion of the grounds Into a pub
lic park.
Public sentiment Justifies it, the le
gal phases of the question will admit
of this plan, It will be a proud monu
ment to the memory of those who
gave us Pendleton and Umatilla coun
ty, and who were burled there. Those
who take this advance step and trans
form this waste place Into a beautiful
park will stand as benefactors of the
city for all time.
Imagine the forbidding grounds
converted Into a smiling park, with a
beautiful memorial tablet reared in
the center and Inscribed with the
names of the pioneers burled there,
Inviting walks and pathways travers-
Ing it and winding among its flowers
and shrubs!
No more lasting monument than
this could be raised by the city ad
ministration undertaking this task. It
would stand as a perpetual reminder
of the public spirit and enterprise of
the city council and the citizens who
consummated the plans.
JVDSON'S SUCCESSOR.
Will the O. R. & N. fill the office
left vacant by the death of Col. R. C.
Judson, who for years was industrial
agent of the system?
This question Is asked the East Ore
gonlan almost every week, by some
Cltlsen Interested In the development
of the resources of the country along
the O. R. N. lines, and who keenly
mlsseB the kindly face and tireless la
bor of Colonel Judson.
Perhaps no man In Oregon had a
wider acqunlntance thnn Colonel Jud
son. His work among the farmers,
stockmen, manufacturers, laborers,
merchants and producers of all kinds
gave him an Intimacy which was
more extended and more keenly ap
preciated In Oregon that that en
Joyed by any other person In the
state.
It was he who, assisted by the of
ficials of the O. R. & X. Introduced
corn Into Umatilla county, who In
duced sugar beet growers to experi
ment In the Echo district, who
brought the dry-land u I fulfil Into
prominence nnd who dared to advise
fin liters on the dry lands of this coun
ty to plow deeper, cultivate oftener
and thereby reap two-fold harvests,
which they have done.
Such an official Is needed by the
O. R. & X. to stimulate and Initiate
Industrie'" that are naturally slow In
coming, but which are adapted to
this country and which will make bus
iness both for the country and the
road.
It is hoped that a man will be se
lected for the place of Industrial
agent on the O. R. & X. system. There
Is a field and mission for such an of
ficial. Umatilla county and the O. a.
& N. have been largely benefitted by
the services of Col. R. C. Judson, and
will be still more benefitted In future
by the continuation of the excellent
work which he Initiated.
Echoes From the Street
FOR EASTERN OREGON.
From the sound and unselfish tone
of the following editorial from the
Salem Journal, It is evident that east
ern Oregon will be more fully recog
nized by the political leaders of west
ern Oregon than formerly.
The Journal is honest in its demand
for Justice for eastern Oregon and to
its determined fight for political Jus
tice the people of this portion of the
state will owe much of the recognition
they are to receive. The Journal
says:
This is written with a view to en
listing closer co-operation with the
press of western Oregon. On a recent
trip to eastern Oregon we for the
first time became aware of the fine
spirit of enterprise that dominates
those communities.
The writer is accused by the Baker
City Maverick of peddling hot air, but
only regrets that he had not more of
the same kind or a much better arti
cle to Bhed on the subject, for It Is
worthy.
The Capital Journal has tried .to
emphasize the importance of recog
nizing the claims of eastern Oregon
more fully and we have had a num
ber of articles favoring nominating
all the candidates possible from east
to the Cascade range.
We feel gratified that at least two
of the next state ticket and possibly
three are to come from over there.
The next United States senator should
come from eastern Oregon, as west
ern Oregon already has one senator.
Then Instead of developing the sen
timent In favor of state division,
which we were surprised to find so
strong, both sections would be repre
sented in the development of the state
through action at Washington In the
senate as it should be In the house.
It is of the greatest Importance
that we have a well-distributed and
well-balanced state ticket, If the re
publicans are to win. If western Ore
gon tries to hog the next United States
senator and will not leave the matter
to the choice of the people, the next
senator may be a democrat, and the
legislature may be democratic.
This paper will work hard to get
all the recognition for eastern Oregon
possible on the republican state ticket,
and hope eastern Oregon will do the
same thing, and Bpeak kindly of the
western Oregon candidates.
We must have reciprocity and we
must stand up for the best man In
each section of the state and stop the
mad process of killing off every pub
lic man we send to Washington for
factional purposes.
Uniting the best efforts of eastern
and western Oregon through the best
papers we can accomplish great re
sult for this commonwealth and make
these papers a factor In the shaping
up of events political or otherwise.
Under the direct primary, If we use
our power with wisdom and modera
tion we can help make the ticket as
to the character of the men we rec
ommend to the people. Let us do our
best and the result cannot but be
good.
A girl in Haddam went to a base
ball game and surprised her escort
by her knowledge of the game, says
the Haddam. Kan., Clipper. The
young man had ventured to say
"Baseball reminds me of the house-
hold the plate, the batter, the fouls
and the files." "And It reminds me of
marriage," she added. "First, the
diamond, where they are engaged, the
struggle and the hits, when the men
go out, and finally the difficulty they
have In getting home."
James Coulter at Sherbourne, Can
ada, Insane from business worrlments,
killed his wife, son and daughter with
an ax and then deliberately cremated
himself In a barn full of hay.
Every knock may be a boost but
that don't make us love the knockor.
Things must look blue to people In
Portland they're trying to blow out

Success Is a great deal like a rail
road Journey. It's hard to set on lif
ter the train has left the station and
under full headway.
Dispatches tell us that Marshall
Field never signed a note or gave a
mortgage, but they fall to mention
whether or not he ever pawned any
thing. Pendleton stands the undisputed
"Venice" of eastern Oregon.
Some troubles are like the snow.
They completely cover everything In
slKht, but a good Chinook will make
them disappeur In a short time.
Some people continually kick on
their light bills, "but for me I wish
they were all as light.
It Is easy to account for the sales
In the different stores. Right now it
Is a question of a "sail" being neces
sary to get around.
For my part I fall to see what the
city Is going to do with a municipal
roller on these streets.
They say Ben Tillman wept on the
floor of the senate. He didn't do
much damage; he has only one eye.
Jacob Schlff advocates an elastic
dollar. So do I.

Passes are being abolished by the
railroad companies, but there are

DEPEW RESIGNS (?)
Senator Depew says that he is go
ing to resign his directorship In 79
corporations, but intends to remain
In the position of senator of the
United States as long as his advancing
years will admit.
He cannot understand why any
body should ask him to retire as a ser
vant of the people, and yet he seems
to be willing to retire as a servant
of the corporations to which lie is
allied. His position seems to be that
he is getting rather too old to serve
the railroads, the gas companies, the
investment companies, the traction
compnnies of which he Is a director,
but Is still quite young enough to
erve 80.000,000 people, very few of
whom are Interested in the corpora
tions which he is now about to free
from his presence.
Mr. Depew's condition is rather dif
ficult to understand. He has been in
the United States senate for six years,
and has been re-elected for six more.
He has held the position of United
States senator at the same time that
he held the position of director in 79
companies, many of which had oc
casion to appeal to the United States
government for aid or privileges.
He now resigns from his corpora
tions and clings to his senatorship.
It seems pertinent to ask whether one
senatorship Is worth 79 directorships
in corporations which are always ask
ing for special and unusual privileges.
And, furthermore, whether In resign
ing from his active connection with
these corporations he Is going to
abandon equally his Interest In their
desires at the national capital. San
Francisco Examiner.
DRIFTWOOD.
A Traveler.
Into the dusk and snow
One fared on yesterday,
No one of us may know
By what mysterious way.
He had been comrade long;
We fain would hold him still.
But though our will be strong.
There Is a stronger will.
Beyond the solemn night
He will find morning dream
The summer's kindling light
Beyond the snow's chill gleam.
Large will be our content
If It be ours to go
One day the path he went,
Into the dusk nnd snow.
Clinton Scollard.
Job.
In all that olden Israelltlsh lore
Whose lofty beauty fills the ages
span,
Mid all those mighty souls who being
bore,
There was one man, a king, who
lived a man.
Smitten of heaven, scourged of all
earth's woes,
With love and kinship, wealth for
sworn and fled,
Stung by those friends worse Ills to
man than foes,
Tormenting where they might have
comforted.
Stripped of all hopes that common
men hold dear.
Polluted of body, clothed with lep
rous scars,
There mid his ashes alien from his
race.
. He still maintained his being with
out fear.
And lifting agonized eyeballs to the
stars,
Did question Deity, naked face to
face.
In some old world picture gallery
hangs a picture called "The Light of
the World." An old Scotch phlloso
pher who thoroughly disliked the pic
ture, one day thus expressed himself
to the artist: "You call that thing I
ween, a picture of Jesus Christ. Now
you cannot gain any profit to yourself,
except In mere pecuniary sense, or
profit anyone else on earth In putting
Into shape a mere papistical fantasy
like that, for It can only be an Inan
Ity and delusion to every one that
looks at It. It Is a poor misshaped
presentation of the noblest, the broth
erllest and most heroic minded being
that ever walked God's earth. Do
you ever suppose that Jesus walked
about bedizened In priestly robes and
a crown, and with yon Jewels oh His
breast and n gilt aureole on His
head? '",(
"I am only a poor man, but I can
say In serious truth that I'd thank
fully give one-third of all the little
store of money saved for my wife and
old age for a veritable contemporary
reproduction of Jesus Christ, show
ing Him as Ho walked about while
He was trying with His ever Invinci
ble soul to break down the obtuse
stupidity of the cormorant minded,
bloated gang who were doing their
utmost to make the world go devil
ward with themselves."
The philosopher's name was Car
lyle. Wilfrid Campbell.

ALPHABET OF PROVERBS.
A grain of prudence Is worth a
pound of graft.
Boasters are cousins of liars.
Denying a fault doubles It.
Envy shoots at others and wounds
Itself.
Foolish fear doubles danger.
God teaches us good things by our
own hands.
He has hard work who has nothing
to do.
It costs more to revenge wrongs
than to suffer them.
Knavery Is the worst trade.
Learning makes a man fit company
for himself.
Modesty Is a guard to virtue.
Not to hear conscience Is the way to
silence It.
One hour today Is worth two to
morrow. Proud looks make foul work In fair
faces.
Quiet conscience is quiet sleep.
Richest Is he that wants least.
Small faults Indulged in are little
thieves that let In great ones.
The boughs that bear most hang
lowest.
Upright walking Is sure walking.
You never lose by doing a good act.

WITH EXPLORER AMUNDSEN.
A report was received here today
from Eagle to the effect that Captain
Amundsen Is enjoying himself while
waiting at Eagle, says the Dawson
News. He has little to occupy his at
tention, and Is putting In most of his
time socially with the officers at the
American barracks and with others of
the village. He Is staying at the N.
C. roadhouse.
The captain is a lover of whist and
spends much of his time playing the
game with the aristocracy of he
burg. A recent arrival from Eagle
says that the captain is modest to a
fault. He does not care to force his
way Into society, nor to make him
self conspicuous. About the town of
Eagle he wears an ordinary suit of
grey, and a blue flannel shirt with
flannel collar and four-lti-hand tie.
The Eskimos with whom Amundsen
traveled from Herschel island to the
Yukon, were left at Fort Yukon,
where they will be picked up by the
noted navigator on his return trip to
Herschel. The captain probably will
start for Herschel next month.
