Some day sad hearts will cease
to yearn,
And weary minds forget their
care;
And calloused hands will fold
at rest.
And pleading lips will end
their prayer.
And other hands and minds and
hearts,
Will bear the burdens these
have borne;
Appealing eyes will be upraised,
And prayers ascend from .
them that mourn.
And other feet will tread the
path
Which other feet before them
trod.
Where does this endless striv-
tng lead,
But to forgetfulness or God?

LAND HUNGRY "INDIANS.'
Over 50,000 white people who claim
to be descendants of the Five Civil
feed tribes are now seeking admission
to the tribes by enrollment, In order
to secure an allotment within the
orders of Indian territory.
This number of white people rep
resents those who have not yet been
disposed of by the congressional al
lotment committee, almost as many
as this having already been allotted
pon the tribal lands.
Strange and alluring land hunger
Is this which Impels this vast throng
of whites to seek admission to the
tribes as citizens. Many of the ap
plicants for admission to the tribes
re fair-haired, blue-eyed blondes,
showing no more trace of Indian an
cestry than the reddest necked Hi
bernian who ever crossed the Atlantic,
yet every one of the applicants, by
some devious and torturous chain of
ancestry Is supposed to be descended
from some family belonging to tha
FiTe tribes, before the westward
Immigration of the tribes In 1834.
It's the old story. White men,
enamoured of the beautiful maiden In
Georgia, Alabama and the Carollnas,
back In the early years of the nine
teenth century, took wives from
among the five great tribes, which In
IS34 were removed by the govern
ment from the southern states to the
Indian territory, where they have
since lived.
The Indlnn wives were taken into
.very portion of the United States by
their adventurous white husbands,
became the mothers of large families,
who In turn married and Intermar
ried, until now after three generations
the descendants of these Cherokee
Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and Sem
inole maidens are tracing back their
linkage, establishing their kinship to
the old tribal families and although
Hvfng the lives of civilized white
people, proud of their American cltl
aenshlp, and keenly sensitive to the
Itast Insinuation of Inferiority In men
tal, moral or business capabilities, are
willing to accept the color of their
forefathers, however red, In order to
secure- a choice tract of rich land In
the rapidly diminishing tribal hold
tries.
INCREASE IN DAIRYING.
The fact that the increase In the
dairy business In the Inland empire
Blthln the past year has been 24 per
cent greater than that In any other
section of the Pacific coast. Is en
couraging.
And yet It Is but natural when the
statural resources of the country are
taken Into consideration. No other
section of the west Is as perfectly
adapted to the creamery and dairy
business, In its highest degree, as
Umatilla and adjoining counties.
Profits from little things are to be
considered more In the future. Here
tofore nothing short of a half section
f wheat land would claim the atten-
tlon of the eastern Oregon farmer.
Now a dozen hens and a half dosen
milk cows are reckoned as assets of
considerable value. They wllf be con
sidered more and more valuable as
the markets Improve and the facili
ties for handling such farm produce
expand.
Within 20 miles of Pendleton, lying
undeveloped as yet, Is one of the
richest sections of country In the
state. Some day. if the prophecy
may be tolerated, this section will b.
a solid collection of small, highly
cultivated farms, supporting their
fullest quota of fine stock and criss
crossed with excellent country roads
all leading to Pendleton, the county
seat and metropolis.
The Increase in dairying in this sec
tion Is an Index to the tendency of
Industrial development. Poultry
raising and fruit growing have In
creased in perhaps a greater propor
tion than dairying, and are to Increase
still more.
Pendleton should encourage this
tendency In firm development. It
means an Increase In population In
tributary country. It means more
families to produce and to buy. It
means more people to trade In Pen
dleton, more people to build homes
and seek schools here.
LARGER THEATER NEEDED.
It may not be quite proper to say
that Pendleton NEEDS a larger the
ater, because a theater Is a luxury
and not a necessity.
But in order that the sense of es
thetlclsm, of artistic hunger, the long
ing for the Intoxication of the drama
be fully satisfied, something should
be done to make It possible for a
higher grade of theatrical perform
ances to come to the city.
As It Is now Pendleton gets only
the ragtag and bobtalled edges of
theatrical performances which ' are
seen on the Pacific coast, while she
Is entitled to the cream of the feast.
She fills the theater to overflow
ing for every good show. She patron
izes! liberally every legitimate com
pany which comes, and she Is denied
the best because her theater will not
accommodate them.
She fares no better than North
Powder, Haines or Milton In the way
of theatrical performances, while hhe
is entitled to first-class treatment and
to receive first-class performances.
The attention of capital is called
to this need. Somebody will respond
In time, and U would be much better
If a local company would Invest In
such an enterprise.
In 10 years the number of students
In certain great colleges of the coun
try has Increased from 38,000 to 82,-
500 65 per cent. The 10 unlversl
ties that have the largest attendance
Include four Institutions in eastern
states and six in western and middle
western states. A competent authori
ty points out that attendance is grow
ing faster than the population, that
western Institutions are growing fast
er than eastern, that science and en
gineering courses are forging ahead of
the old courses in arts, that the num
ber of women students Is increasing
faster than men. The same authority
predicts that in five years some one
of the western universities, with state
pride behind It, will take the lead In
point of numbers over narvum,
which is and has been the largest.
HOW TO KEEP ALIVE.
Keep the faculty of effort alive in
you by a little gratuitous exercise
every day. That Is, be systematically
ascetic or heroic In little unnecessary
noints. do every day or two some
thing for no other reason than that
vou would rather not do u, so mat
when the hour of dire need draws
nigh. It may find you not unnervea
and untried to stand the test.
Asceticism of this sort Is like tne
Insurance which a man pays on his
house and goods. The tax does him
no good at the time, and possibly may
npver hrlnflr him a return. But If the
fire does come, his having paid it will
ho his solvation from ruin. So with

tlon. energetic volition, and self-aeni

D ANTE' 8 HOUSE ROBBED.
To the already voluminous cata
logue of thefts of antiquities lately
perpetrated at Florence, must now be
added the audacious burglary of the
famous house of Dante. Taking ad-
vantage of the custodian's absence
during the Christmas holidays, thieves
effected an entrance, boring a hole
through the wall on the first floor
from an adjoining house, In process
of demolition. The loot comprises A
sliver urn, whereon Dante's Initials are
traced, with his own ashes; a largo
silver medallion portrait of the bard
presented to Florence by the Republic
of San Marino; also a virgin and
child, painted by Clmabue, and vari
ous objects of less Importance. The
thieves penciled In sprawling charac
ters over the breach In the wall: "You
Florentines are all thick-headed, and
don't know the value of what you pos
sets." The Argonaut

B. Hill rode from Wolfert's Roost to
the capltol Monday to attend the
Patrick hearing, says tne New xork
American. He had not been out be-
fore for months. The lines of Mr. '
Hill's face are heavy. His cheeks
and chin sag, his mustache Is white
and his eyes are weak. He coughs
frequently. His breath Is short. After i
the hearing Mr. Hill lost no time In ,
getting to his carriage. His attendant
watched him as a nurse does a child.
"I am not well," said Mr. Hill to
those who spoke with hi mln the cor
ridor. "For some reason I do not
seem to be able to throw off this
cold. It has clung to me for months
and now seriously Interferes with my
comfort. I am having great diffi
culty with my eyes. Reading Is pain
ful. I am going away and I shall not

Joseph C. Sibley Summed Up.
If Joseph C. Sibley quits public life

he's going to the house will be "out"
an interesting character. The repre
sentative from the 28th district of
Pennsylvania modestly describes him
self In his official autobiography as a
manufacturer and farmer. He man
ufactures lubricating oils among other
things; his stock farm Is famous and
his bank account portentous. He sat
In two congresses as a democrat, was
talked of for William J. Bryan's run
ning mate In 1896; then he became a
republican. The Pittsburg Times says
he has been a populist and prohibi
tionist also. His Venango county
neighbors call him "Joe," and think a
lot of him. New York Press.

A FammiH PaHHcntrer Agent.
Nearly everybody who has crossed
the Atlantic on a Cunarder, knows
that the passenger manager of the
line for the last 40 years was John
Kepple. He has just been retired on
a handsome pension, and a commit
tee of Influential Englishmen, Scotch
men and Irishmen has been appointed
to organize a suitable testimonial of
regard. This Is sure to be on a large
and representative scale. George H.
Daniels, who has retired from the
passenger department of the New
York Central, Is better known, prob
ably, than Kepple, yet I have heard
of no testimonial or pension for him,
If every man In America who has re
ceived a favor from Mr. Daniels wo.uld

Home of Stevenson to Be Sold.
The ne wowner of the far-famed
Villa Valllma, once the home of the
great novelist, Robert Louis Steven'
son, near Apia, Samoa, is Julius Baet-
oke, a wealthy young German mer
chant of Hamburg, who Is now a guest
at the Palace Hotel. When Stevenson
died his widow sold the place to Gus-
tav Kunst, a merchant prince, with
stores In Hamburg, Honolulu, Apia,
Vladivostok and elsewhere. Through
Kunst's death his nephew and heir,
tho Palace guest, has just come Into
possession of the bulk of his estate,

INSANE ASYLUM REFORM,
The Journal believes that one of
the most lmportunt matters that
should be taken up by the next legis-
lature Is Insane asylum reform, says
the Salem Journal.
The usual white-washing report
that costs the state about 11000 should
be cut out and real Investigation
should be undertaken
The law for committing Dei-sons to
the Insane asylum should be revised
so that the slate and Individual should
be protected against Improper com
mitments.
The Institution should be overhaul
ed and persons not properly charge
able to the btate or really Insane
should be taken out. The attendance
is ridiculously large for the population
of this state and many are not prop
erly persons belonging In an asylum.
The Jaw requiring persons and es
tates able to defray the expense of
keeping insane persons there should
bo cither enforced, repealed or made
effective.
We nre not prepared to say that
this law Is not now enforced, but we
shall look up the law and publish Its
provisions, and the commitment law,
and let the matter be discussed and
let the abuses be reformed,
There are many people who believe
that this state is carrying too big
burden at the Insane asylum and it
should be reduced
THE LURE OF OLD SONGS.
You were playing sweet and low,
The old songs of long ago;
And the high lamp's crimosn shade
Poured a softened light that made
Mystic shadows In your hair
Shadows which were laughing there
As the shadows of the dawn
Leaped and laughed In days agone.
So you played and so I dreamed
While the pranking firelight gleamed
In its race along the wall;
And I heard the boy days call
In the songs that thrilled my heart
With their subtly simple art
As when practiced hands are swept
O'er a harp that long has slept.
Winding paths through meadowlands,
Brooks that sang on silver sands.
Bending branches of the trees,
Noontime chants of honeybees,
Drifting Indian summer haze,
Pelting snows of wintry days.
Wondrous stars that blazed abov
All this you knew nothing of. .
Yet you played and playing, wrought
All the glories unforgot;
And the high lamp's ruddy .glow
Where the glints swayed to and fro
Seemed some way to blend aid blur
Into those fair days that were
Led me backward, mile on mile.
To each golden olden while.
