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

mines, and even the school children
have, echoed ihjajtle thermal
factions upon their playgrounds, eo
thoroughly has the spirit of the fight
Imbued Montana society and especial
ly Butte society.
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

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.

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

for the benefit of the members who

ing and obstinate cases uf disease as pur
sued by Dr. Pierce, Is following alter
Nature 9 plan of restoring health.
