BUNION WUBE It seemeth such a little way to me i Across to that strange coun- try the Beyond! And yet not strange, for It has grown to be The home of those of whom I am so fond; They make It seem familiar and. most dear. As Journeying friends bring dis- tant regions near. And so for me there is no sting to death, And so the grave has lost its victor'. It is but crossing with abated breath, And white, set face a little strip of sea, To find the loved ones waiting on the shore, More beautiful, more precious than before. f Ella Wheeler Wilcox. THE SECRET TAINT. After combing Oregon over with a fine tooth comb, for the purpose of finding an exemplary young man for the office of United States attorney for Oregon, Francis J. Heney finally recommended William C. Bristol, an unassuming, quiet, energetic young man who had c'evoted his time while fn Oregon, ostensibly at least, to the higher Ideals of his profession. But, lo! even here is found the se cret taint, the stain of graft, it is alleged. Senator Fulton opposed the appointment of Bristol and there may be politics in the matter, but anyway, a letter written by Bristol in an al leged attempt to extort blood money from a Coos Bay lumber company has been presented to the senate committee on judiciary and the ap pointment of Bristol 1b quashed. It may be old-fashioned to quote scripture, but one is tempted to do so, in considering the condition of Oregon politics. A wail for the sinfulness of the world would be especially appropri ate on this occasion, since Bristol was selected after a most careful and prayerful investigation by Heney. Let us replenish the searchlight! 3IUST BECOME ACQUAINTED. Heretofore it was easy for office seekers to make the acquaintance of a few hundred delegates in state con ventions. But this thing of getting acquainted with the whole people, In order to stand a "gho of a show" for a nom ination is a strenuous and difficult task. The activity of office-seekers will have one good effect, anyway. It will force them to go Into different parts of the state, where perhaps they have never been before, and In this they will learn how the other half of the natives live, a bit of In formation they could not perhaps have acquired, but for the primary nominating law, which compels them to "mix" with the people. Although some of the candidates must necessarily be defeated at the primary election, yet this wider ac quaintance which they will acquire will be beneficial tc the state.

Good evening. President Cohen of the Tendleton Commercial associa tion! The Kast Oregonlan congratulates the association and the now president and will lend Its assistance In every way to make this year, 1S0, a ban ner year for the association and for the city of Pendleton, and to that end will heartily co-operate with both city and association in every forward movement. There are many things that ought to be done. There are many things than CAN BE DONE. The thing for the association to do, it seems, is to select a few things than CAN BE DONE from the many that OUGHT TO BE DONE, and then go ahead. On this platform the East Oregon lan will stand with both feet. Among the things that CAN EE DONE and probably WILL BE DONE, by the assistance and co-operation of the Commercial associa tion, are to pave the streets of Pen dleton and assist in building better country roads. Both of these things are pressing public necessities and the association cannot devote its time and energy to nobler missions. To secure such public blessings Is one of the objects of the body, and now that both better streets and better roads are needed, the time Is ripe for the association to assert Its prerogative, manifest its aim in life and take hold with both hands. While these things are being done, the membership should be swelled to 600. The timber is here for such a membership. Think of the large number of residents of Pendleton who might be members, but who are not members. Here is a field for labor. It Is open to every member. Will it be utilized as it should be? The life an growth of the association depend upon It. For one, the East Oregonlan will do its part, and more, that this may be the banner year. THE IOWA MOVEMENT. That is a most Interesting move ment that Is being launched In Iowa looking to the assembling of a great gathering of committees from all the states to adopte some plan for secur ing an amendment of the federal con stitution under which senators shall be chosen by direct vote of the peo ple. The plan Is to have a resolution passed by the legislature there In structing the governor to invite the governors of other states to appoint committees to attend the conference. These committees are to be of mem bers of the legislatures. It Is very probable that the idea will take a strong hold upon the pub lic mind if It be launched by thejowa legislature as proposed. In a very large proportion of the states the sentiment is in favor of direct election of senators. Everyone recognizes the difficulties surround ing the adoption of an amendment of the constitution and all who favor the change will be glad to see a con ference of that character held to set tle upon a Bcheme of co-operation In bringing about the end desired. THE O. R. & X. RECORD. For 24 years the O. Tt. & N. has operated Its trains In Oregon, Wash ington and Idaho, without taking the life of a solitary passenger until the fearful wreck at Bridal Veil Falls, yesterday. So far as statistics show, no other road on the Pacific coast and very, very few In the United States can boast of such a clear record for so long a period. Traffic has been exceedingly heavy at times and trains have been run on fast schedules, but thanks to a sturdy cluss of employes and to Intelligent, capable and practical management the public has been peculiarly safe guarded on this system. Circumstances which were abso lutely unavoidable caused yesterday's wreck. Machinery Is uncertain and no experienced mechanic can guess as to when a pipe will burst or a Valentines 1 the choicest and brightest wheel fly Into pieces. This danger Is constantly before every man who trave or who handles the ponderous engines of the railroads. This record of- the O. R. & N. is one of which the company and the employes are particularly proud and It will stand as a criterion of skillful railroad operation, for all time to come. THE tiOl.l) OF GOD. My little love, come here to me, For 1 have gold fd share with thee, The gold not hid In dusky mine, Such gold as ne'er did gleam and shine On dainty finger, neck of white; Kare gold. aye. brighter far than all That lureth man and holds him thrall. Tim gold divine, the wondrous gold That all the sunbeams mesh and hold. That gleams on summit and on wold The gold of God. my dearie. My, little love, do you reca'.l That day of days, the best of all, When we, two children, hand in hand Went straying down the happy land Oh. all the earth was then abloom, Its every nook a golden roonr. And well we knew, afar from strife, Ours was the one true gold of life. The one true gold, my little di-ar, The gold of love about us hore That bears for all its gift of cheer The gold of God, my dearie. My little love, we have no skill To clutch the gold man secketh still; The hard, cold gold that miser's save. At first its master, then its slave. Hut. oh. the gold of love, sweetheart. It Is our own; its magic art Has led us where no shadows fall And It Is all. yes, it is all. So, let them seek man's gold who will, PtUl hand In hand we'll climb life's hill, For love has been, and love Is still. The gold of Cod, my dearie. A. J. Waterhouse in San Francisco Call. HADI.EY OF MISSOURI. Herbert Hadley, attorney general of Missouri, who Is conducting Missouri's fight against the rich and powerful Oil Trust. Is described In Town and Country (New York) as a youthful appearing, smooth-faced man. with a touch of the west in his Intonation: of quiet, selt-contalned demeanor and with a plensant gleam of humor In his expression. Mr. Hadley. we are told further, does not brng about what he Is going to do to the trust, but. In the opinion of some, his errand to New York may result in the removal of several enor mous oil companies from business In the state of Missouri. Mr, Hadley humorously tolls how he happened to become attorney gen eral. He did not in the least want the position, as he was busy with his own private practice, but was persuaded to run for office by the argument that as the democrats In his district wer: sure to win there would be no chance of his getting In anyhow, and that, as he would have to mnke a canvass of the itate anyway In the Interest of his party, he might just as well do it as a candidate: also. If he should chance to be elected he could resign at any time if he wished to do so. To the surprise of every one he was elected, but the republican governor was defeated, and the democratic one elected, so he not only became attor ney general, but In a way that would make It Impossible for him to resign, because if he did so the democratic governor would appoint a democratic successor to his office. He was nom inated at the convention on the spur of the moment. In spite of his protests, and by this freak of chance he has. last week, sprung Into a position of national Importance, and If he suc ceeds in his present undertaking a very brilliant future Is open to him. Literary Digest. ELLEN TERRY'S DOUBLE. Not long before his death Henry Ir ving related, at a private gathering in Glasgow, a remarkable occurrence which has never appeared In print. The conversation turned on "doubles," and Irving related that on one occa sion the body of a woman was re covered from the Thames, and noticed by the river police as bearing a re markable resemblance to Miss E'.'.en Terry, who at that time was tempo rarily off the stage. Irving was sent for to Identify the body, and had no hesitation In saying It was that of Miss Terry. This iden tification was further corroborated by her husband, and the body was buried as hers. The real Ellen Terry re turned and declined to be regarded as dead, but the Identity of tho, double was never discovered. THE MIXER'S INCH. In California the miner's Inch Is the flow of about 8,796 gallons of water per minute. Fifty miner's Inches are equivalent to one cubic foot per sec ond. The most common measurement is under a mean pressure of four Inches, through an aperture two Inches above the bottom of the box, the plank being one and a quarter Inches thick, and the height of water above the aperture three Inches, giving a mean pressure of four Inches. Each square Inch of the aperture represents one miner's Inch, or about 1.2 cubic feet flow per minute. The Gunnison Tunnel. Over one and one quarter miles of the fltlnnlson tunnel, In Colorado, has been completed. Tho work of con striction Is oelng pushed at three openings, one Jit the river end, ,in other at the va'iey end, ami a third at the bottom shaft 246 feet deep, locat ed one mile from the valley opening. Last month the workers progressed over 40 feet per day. The government expects to have the tunnel complet ed by the fall of 1908. rilae of Royal Baking Powder is equally valu able for the preparation of the 'finest, most delicate cookery and for substantial, everyday food.
