As In a forest when dead leaves are falling, , From all save some perennial green tree, So one by one I find all pleas- ures palling That are not linked with or enjoyed by thee. And all the homage that the world may proffer, I take as perfumed oils or In- cense sweet, And think of It as one thing more to offer And sacrifice to Love, at thy dear feet. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. LET IS 1LVE PAVING. If there Is any possible way by which the city of Pendleton can se cure street paving, let us find It and put It Into Immediate execution. There will never be a better time than now to begin this work. The property owners are In favor of it, the progress of the city demands It, the business of the city justifies It and public pride cries out in thunder tones for the consummation of this under taking. If the city charter, built up as it seems to be, for the landlord, prohib its street paving, let the public-spirited owners of property go ahead on their personal responsibility and Im 5WOve their property and let the char ter be made right at the earliest op pd toiiiiy. Another winter should not find Pendleton at the mercy of the mud and slush. Let us stand up and be counted. The city council Is said to be heartily in favor of the paving if a means can be found under the charter by which the paving may be done. The paving companies will do the -work. There need be no fear of fi nancing the thing. The only thing needed Is a guarantee from property holders that they are willing to pro ceed. END OF A WILD ROMANCE. Fiction of the heroic age never told ruch an amazing story as has been enacted In real life In the Montana copper mining industry within the past 20 years. The close of the deal by which Helnze sells out to the Amalgamated Copper company, drops the curtain on the most remarkable drama ever enacted In the northwest. Not only was the financial world Involved In Its meshes, but pollltcal fortunes have been made and unmade with lightning-like swiftness and un scaring cruelty, by this magic octopus of Montana. Cities have been httld In the hollow of Its hand, industries have thrived or dwindled as It smiled or frowned upon them, parties have been Its tools and slaves, society has fawned In Its glitter, men and women have been elevated and then suddenly swept away, as their allegiance to the cop per factions waxed or waned. This war of millions has proceeded lor nearly a quarter of a century. Montana politics have been gauged by the fortunes of the copper kings. Crimes have been committed by It, Its blttemeBs has extended from the gild' ed offices o( the managers to the deepest levels In the workings of the 1 Valentines ARTISTIC VALENTINES BEAUTIFUL VALENTINES NOVELTY VALENTINES COMIC VALENTINES Complete collection of creations of the season.

Now that Helnze has accepted 825. 000,000 from the Amalgamated and will resign the dictatorship of the rival company, the heart of the war fare will be stilled for a time at least, until some new aspirant for financial honors rises up to cross lances with the Amalgamated. But for years yet, will the old rival ry embitter Montana politics, and un til the last of the old participants dies, will the lingering memories of past struggles dominate business and guide the policies of the state. A RELIGION OF DEEDS. Much has been said against the Christian Scientists. Their creed has been flayed by the orthodox churches from one end of the world to the other. But the Christian Scientists, as viewed from the Pendleton standpoint, are practical, sensible, God-fearing folk. Their church door is never locked against the world. Their faith is founded upon Investigation and their religion Is one of deeds. Do you know that the thing which turns hordes of people away from Christianity Is the frowlnlng doors of churches locked against the needy and hungry soul of the outcast and stranger for six days In the week? Every city has its warm, open, wel come saloon a very dispenser of hos pitality to the stranger and a prof fered resting place to the homele.is and the transient. But for six days in the week God's house is locked and barred, no glow ing fire tempts the stranger, no read ing room Invites the weary to rjst, no welcome word from the closed doors brings a thrill of the human kinship Into the bosom of the wanderer. The Christian Scientists are chang ing this condition In their .humble way. Their doors are neVer closed. They maintain reading rooms, Invite an Investigation of their tenets and make the stranger welcome at all times. Without criticism of other churches It certainly seems that this Is a prac tical basis for a religion. If religion means, anything It means! something every day in the week. The world has too much Sunday religion. Too much formal charity, too much per functory hospitality. What Is needed is more open doors, more Inviting retreats to offJet the open deadfalls maintained by the vi cious and Immoral. The vicious elements tn society ate well organized and maintain attrac tions to draw men away from decen cy. For this very reason should not the moral organizations maintain an equal number of Inviting places in which to offer men decent environ ments? Over half of the transient men In any community would take advantage of a moral place of rest and recreation rather than the other kind. ROOM FOR WHITE MEN. It is announced that the O. R. N. will replace the Japanese and Chi nese section men with white men as rapidly as laborers can be found for the places. The East Oregonlan rejoices to see the company taking this step. There should be room in the northwest for every white man who comes here. There should be permanent, lucrative positions for thousands of worthy families on the railroads of the north west. At present these places are filled with foreigners who carry their money out of the country, who use Just as little as possible of American products and who add nothing to the community. In the east are hundreds of thous ands of white men on railroad track work, who remain In one place for a lifetime. They build comfortable homes, spend their money In the com munity, educate their families and are permanent fixtures. In the west this work is done by Japs, Greeks and Chinese who are not desirable additions, who bring noth ing Into the community, add nothing to It and take all their accumulations away. The East Oregonlan hopes to see Valentines the choicest and brightest white men placed upon O. R. & N. trucks at Jlvjng wages, J;ha It may be an Inducement to steady men. FIRST MORMON CAPITOL. Its halls nearly deserted and Its ex istence half forgotten by many of the oldest settlers, the old state house of I'tah still stands on the center of the capitol block In Fillmore City, Millard county, a silent sentry of the first days in Utah's dramatic birth as a territorial government. . The two-story building In the heart of Fillmore, which held the first as sembly of the Utah legislature In 1S65, is now practically deserted. It was here that the first legislature met in 1855 under the governorship of I'rlghnm Young. Now, however, this has been converted Into a dunce hall, and the floor space Is at times, when a dramatic production Is 'being given, converted Into a seating space. The dimensions of the building are 40x60 feet. The eld building was made of red sandstone and was in process of con struction for four years. It was In 1851 that the action of the national government In creating the territory of Utah became known here, five months nfter that action was taken, and work on the building was begun at once. During the present day of gigantic lifting machines and other mechanical devices the work of those early days in building the state capi tol can hardly be realized. But It took four years of continued Inbor to lay block on block of sandstone until the building -was completed. Salt Lake Republican. THE "BOOTLEGGING" EVIL. In the liquor business the bootleg ger fills Identically the same position to the legitimate trade that Mrs. Na tion fills In the cause of temperance. He Is an outlaw, because he not only has no regard for the law, but studies up all kinds of ways to break It. The bootlegger Is a pretty tough proposition In any community and gives the entire liquor business a bad name; but he is in the height of his glory In the Indian reservations, where the government has very strict laws against the sale of liquor. He could make a much better living at some other line of business In nearly every Instance. It Is the fact that he Is breaking a law, getting ahead of the government, that appeals to him. The officers at Muskogee recently discovered a new method of smug gling the liquor Into the Indian coun try. A teamster working on the rail road grade near that point devised the plan. He had two very large horse collars made, and they were water tight. He would make regular trips to Texas, and every time he returned the loborers In camp would get drunk. After watching him, for a long time the officers dlscoveoed that he would take several extra horse collars with him and . bring them back full of whiskey. . Each collar would hold about two gaUmm of liquor. Inter-Mountain. THREE THIEVES. Three thieves, resistless, He In wait For every human soul, To filch its treasures, one by one. Till they have seized the whole. t Love lb the first to hold us up; He plunders, for his part. Our peace and happiness of mind. And steals awuy our heart. Time plucks the roses from our cheeks; Before we are aware; The vigor from our youthful limbs. The gold from out our hair. And when, by Love and Time, our lives Are nearly dispossessed, Grlin Death, the final thief, st-.-ps In And takes awny the rest. William H. Branlgan, In Overland Monthly. SCOTCH THRIFT. An old Scotch farmer has three sons. The two oldest were very bright business men. The third boy was feeble-minded, who spent most of his time caring for his pet sheep, which his father had given him. When the old man died his will read, "That the sheep were to be dl vlded Into three herds, of equal num bers and the feeble-minded boy was to have the first choice of the herds. The two avaricious brothers culled out the poor sheep and put them In one herd, but put them with the hoy's pet sheep. Then they said to their brother, "We have divided the sheep ns the will of our father has directed, and now you are to have the first choice," and called his at tention to how very fine his pet sheep looked that morning. The boy went to the pet sheep, ca ressed and fondled It, and said, "You are my favorite, hut you have got In with such a scrawley set I shall have to let you go and take one of the other herds." Munseys. ECCENTRIC DON CARLOS. Kings have curious habits. Don Carlos has a mania for never wanting to drink twice from the same glass. Just as soon as his Hps have touched a glass filled with any liquid, even tf he hns only taken a few drops of It, he no longer touches that glass; an other must be given to him. While In the palace of the French minister of the Interior on the Quay d'Orsay, those who were waiters specially chosen to serve the king, were constantly on the qui vlve to take away a glass out of which the king had drunk, and to replace It with another. An nntl-hondshaklng society haa been 'formed at Lisbon. Members who shake hands will be fined,- and the money will be pooled and expend ed In the purchase of lottery tickets for the benefit of the members who obey the rules. Nature's Way Is Best.
