Here's to the gospel of laugh-
ter, no matter by whom It
Is preached,
And here's to the cheer that 11-
lumlnes this sphere wher-
ever that gospel has
reached.
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.

THE GOLDEN GATE.
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.
