Pulpit or office or counter, kilcfien or laundry or pews; Little we mind where the preachers stand or what are the texts they choose, For over and over, the wide world round, and over and under. Indeed, The gospel of laughter is still the same, and a smile In the heart is Its creed. Rev. Robert Whltaker. THE SIGNAL OF THE WEST. turn him from his determination to defend the law, but all this array of forces fell flat in the face of his re lentless and aggressive fight. The law stands on the statutes to day Just as it does, because Walter Tierce made that fight for it, for had he not taken the lead and with his eloquence and courage championed It, it would have been cut to pieces and its efficiency destroyed by the liquor interests which had strong workers In the state senate. Now In order to lid the senate of Pierce this great association of liquor dealers of Oregon will flood this dis trict with money, center Its efforts here and make Pierce a campaign Is sue tn the coming election In the east ern Oregon counties. The people adopted the local option law as It stands, by their direct votes. Pierce supported and defended the will and wishes of the people against the devices of the liquor Interests and now. In order to be able to thwart the will of the people at the next legisla ture the liquor Interests will spend any amount of money to defeat their arch-enemy, Walter Pierce. It Is barely possible that the peo ple who voted for this law and who still believe in Its beneficent provis ions will have something to say about this. Will corruption funds and saloon Influence be able to dominate three counties of intelligent, fearless, Inde pendent voters? The East Oregonlan cannot believe it. mean more and more Importance to Pendleton, more and more business handled here and a larger force for the company liv this city. The East Oregonlan notes with pride the devel opment of this system and Its efforts to give the public the best service possible. WIII-'.itE Ol'U WRONGS WE RIGHT. OPEN THE MILLS. After hundreds of miles of barren desert, snow-covered mountains, for bidding sagebrush plains and lava plateaus the homeseeker now coming Into the west is greeted with the ver dure of green things growing for the first time on his westward trip, in Umatilla county. On the sunny slopes of the Blue mountains In Umatilla county, the first grass of eastern Oregon peeps Into the sunlight from under the snow, and along the river bottoms of the Umatilla the first green shoots of alfalfa to awaken In eastern Oregon to jhe early spring, greet the eye of the traveler. It is a happy signal to the home eeekerafter his dreary days and nights on the westward Journey. It is a good Impression, and one which will not soon fade from the memory of the home-hungry tourist. It binds people to Umatilla coun ty, this signal of early spring. Today while it Is raining a warm and gentle rain that reminds one of May In Ore gon, the blizzards are howling on the Dakota prairies and the cold winds are drKing stock to shelter In Kan sas, Missouri and Nebraska, the boast ed corn states of the central west. The signal of Oregon is out. It comes out early and stays out late. ANYTHING TO HEAT PIERCE. It is announced on the best of au thority from Portland that the Ore gon Liquor Dealers' association will spend at least 110.000 In the counties of Umatilla, Union and Morrow, to defeat Walter Pierce for the Joint seantorshlp, because of his unrelent ing fight In favor of the local option law as it now stands on the books. The motto adopted by the associa tion. It Is said, is "Anything to beat Pierce." It will be remembered that Senator Pierce made the most determined and capable stand for the local option law that was made on any question In the legislative session of 1905. All the forces of the opposition were rallied against him! All possible kinds of schemes, plots, trades, skulduggery, bull-dozing and coercion were brought Into commission in the vain effort to THE TIME HAS COME FOR PENDLETON TO TAKE AN INTER EST IN THE RESURRECTION OF HER WOOLEN MILLS. The East Oregonlan has refrained from making any public reference to the woolen mill situation In hopes that the unfortunate financial diffi culties which have beset the company might be settled and the mills re opened, but the matter seems no nearer solution now than when the mills closed some weeks ago. There is a field for the woolen mills here. Pendleton Is one of the greatest primary wool markets In the world and has made a world-wide rep utation largely through the excellence of the output of the woolen mills and she cannot afford to have this indus try permanently suspend. Its resurrection under favorable conditions and on a permanent busi ness basis means an expenditure of at least $50,000 annually In this city and vicinity for labor, fuel and wool. This expenditure would Increase as the Industry niny he extended and developed and Pendleton cannot, must not sit idly by and Bee the mills re moved, closed permanently or curtail ed In their work In any way. The Commercial association must take up this matter. This pay roll must not be allowed to slip away from Pendleton without an effort on the part of Pendleton. The public spirit, public pride, and energetic ac tion of Pendleton citizens must come to the rescue of this enterprise. It can be made to pay. It has yield ed handsome profits in the past and has spread the name of Pendleton far and wide over the world, and It must not be allowed to die as a burnt out candle, for the lack of Just a little help, Just a little encouragement, Jusl a little capital, all of which needed commodities are to be found in plen tiful supply in this city and commu nity. The woolgrowers and the city are especially Interested in this matter. The presence of the mills here will give to Oregon wool a world-wide rep utation, and the pay roll of Its em ployes Is a source of business which Pendleton people cannot afford to overlook. WILL PENDLETON COMMER CIAL ASSOCIATION SOUND THE WHISTLE OF THE WOOLEN MILLS ONCE MORE? Somewhere in the far-off spaces Thut never a mortal knows. n hidden and distant places Heyond where the last star glows; n a planet serener and sweeter Than seen In our dreams of delight, A world of a glory completer, Is the place where our wrongs wo right. And It isn't the wrong that was done us We grievlngly strive to repair, But the wrong that we did to a broth er amid Earth's valleys of worry and care. Oh, out from this life and Its shadows, The spirits of mortals, made free. Go seeking through star-lighted meadows, That marvelous country to see. The black gulf of chaos they border, Touch hands with the goblins of night. But they find, when One glveth the order, The place where our wrongs are made right. And It Isn't the wrong that was done us In that far-away world we shall heed, But only to know that a brother knew woe. And found us no friend In his need. Perchance through an aeon we'll wan der, Perchance but n dubious day. But the One who Is heeding us yon der Will guide us, wherever we stray; And so, through untrodden abysses. Through spaces of gloom and affright, We shall find what the weary soul misses, The place where our wrongs are made right. And the wrong that another has done us, It will fade Into naught In our sight; It is but our guilt In a brother's tears spilt That only God's love can make right. A. J. Waterhouse.

The Annals of San Francisco, pub lished In 1854, gives the following as the origin of the name "Golden Gate," applied to the straits that are the entrance to the bay of San Fran cisco: "The mid entrance to the bay of San Francisco lies In latitude 37 de grees 48 minutes north, and longitude 122 degrees 30 minutes west from Greenwich. This Is a strait, running nearly northeast, called Chrysopaloe. or the Golden Gate, about five miles land and of an average width of one and a half or two miles. "The name 'Golden Gate' first ap pears in the 'Geographical Memoir of California,' and relative map publish ed by Colonel Fremont In the spring of 1848. The term was descriptive, not of the literal golden region wlth- n, then as yet undiscovered, but merely of the rich and fertile country which surrounded the shores of the bay, and of the wealth which the com merce of the Paelflc, pausing through the strait, would certainly give to the future great city of the place. 'The name was probably suggested by the Golden Horn of Constantinople. Since the discovery of the auriferous character of the country, the title has become of a still more happy nature; nd its bestower must surely have had a prophetic soul, though he him self knew It not." WHEELER AS CONGRESSMAN. The late Genernl Joseph Wheeler was a bunch of alert, Indefatigable nerves and fibers. He never rested, As a member of congress from Ala bam a for seven terms he used to serve lazy members as an example of Indus try. He kept five secretaries on the go all the time hunting down fafcts and figures for speeches. They say he spread over more space In the Con gressional Record than any three men In the house. Alabama was kept flooded with his franked speeches. It is told that as the general was riding about his home district one day he overtook a mall carrier on foot He took the fellow up In his buggy and asked him why he did not have a horse. "I did have one." he said "but old Wheeler sent down so many documents from Washington that It killed him In trying to deliver them.' And It is added that the carrier soon afterward received a "gift of a new horse. GALVESTON RESTORED. Galveston's population In 1900 was 37,788. Today it Is about 32.000. At the time of the flood she was. pe capita, one of the two or three richest cities In America, and still ranks very high, millionaires being fairly com mon for a place of her size. Proper ty values are now about the same as they were Just before the disaster, and there is great activity In the rea estate market. Many people who wen away to live have returned, and many new residents have come from the north and the east. Galveston Is not growing so fast as she would had th flood never visited her. Nothing short of complete destruction, how ever, will stop her growth as a port, and If the 600-foct wide causeway which Is now being seriously discussed Is every constructed between Oalves ton Island and the mainland, many doubting Thomas will be won over.
