Bound to the labor that Is love

The results of the pioneer mission
ary work of Marcus Whitman and
Rev. Spalding among the Cuyuse and
Xez Perce tribes, are seen every day
in the city of Pendleton and Uma
tilla county.
The members of the church amonj
the Indians today are on a higher
piano, a higher moral level than those
not members. The drunken Indians
are not members of churches. The
most progressive and enlightened
members of the tribe are members of
tie church and its influence gives
them a place In the councils of the
tribe which the loss intelligent mem
bers do not enjoy.
If the work of the missionaries did
nothing more than to prevent drunk
enness among the Indians It would be
worth all the sacrifice.
But that work done 60 years ago is
doing more than this. It is not only
giving the Indians of these tribes a
higher moral level than their breth
ren, but it is constantly working for
mental and physical advancement.
No other western tribe boasts as
many educated, self-supporting mem
bers as the Xez Perce. The members
of this tribe have Intermarried with
the Umatilas and have lent their up
lifting influence to the members of
the Umatilla tribe until It. like "its

TO DISCREDIT STREET WORK.
Two or three years ago the city
council, of which J. R. Dickson was
the ruling spirit at the time! began a
movement to gravel Webb street, the
west end of which street had . been
partially graveled at great expense to
small property owners a couple of
years before,- but which had not been
put in decent condition by the city for
reasons unknown.

Improvement of West Webb street
because it was one of the poorest
streets In the city and least able to
pay an additional tax after having
recently paid one tax for partial Improvement.
t An additional reason for the East:
Oregonian's opposition to the im
provement at that time, was that it i
believed then, as it believes now, that J
a portion of the council, led by J. R. j
Dickson, proposed the Improvement j
of Webb street, which It knew was
not able to pay the expense. In order
that the people might remonstrate
and the council could then say that
It was no use to go ahead with street
Improvement since the people object
ed to It. It seemed at that time to be
a ruse on part of Dickson and others
Next week 200 Xez Perces will
cross the snow-covered mountains on
horseback, from Lewiston to the Tu

the Umatilla reservation. Among
this company will be nine native mln

pioneer missionaries.

Mr. Dickson's present opposition to

THE STRIKE IS COMING.

are clamoring for the admission of

are productive and self-supporting
the real, genuine period of utility will
have been ushered In.
THE AXGELUS.
Bells of the Past, whose long-forgot
ten music
Still fills the wide expanse.
Tinging the sober twilight of the
Present
With color of romance.
I hear you call, and see the sun de
scending
On rock and wave and sand.
As down the coast the Mission voices
blending
Girdle the heuthen land.
Within the circle of your Incantation
Xor blight nor mildew falls;
Xor fierce unrest, nor lust, nor Ion-
ambition
Passes those airy walls.
Borne on the swell of your long
waves receding,
I touch the farthest Past
see the dying glow of Spanish glory,
The sunset dream and last.
Before me rise the dome-shaped mis
sion towers.
The white Presidio;
The swart commander in his leathern
jerkin.
The priest In stole of snow.
Once more I see Portala's cross up
lifting
Above the setting sun;
And past the headland, northward,
slowly drifting.
The freighted galleon.
O solemn bells! whose consecrated
masses
r.p-al! the faith of old;
O tinkling bolls! that lulled with twi
light music
The spiritual fold.
Your voices break and falter In the
darkness,
Break, falter, and are still;
And veiled and mystic, like the Host
descending.
The sun sinks from the hill!

REINCARNATION.
Is it false or is it real . ,
That, In ages more Ideal,
I was song and you were Sappho; you
were sunbeam. I the dew?
For I long have felt the burgeon
Of a passion, vague and virgin.
Which you quicken to remembrance
of a former life we knew.
Were you stream when I was wil
low? Was I shell when you were billow?
For your voice has ever echoed
through the hushes of my
heart;
And it seems, as I behold you.
That the very air foretold you,
By the fragrance which, In welcome,
all the budding boughs Import.
But at last I stand beside you,
And the fate which long denied
you
Yields In recompense, a dearer In
carnation than my dream.
What I sought to what you are,
Love,
Was as twilight to the star. Love,
As the languor Is to summer, as tin:

enriches the mind and helps to de

a fair knowledge of the subject Is
absolutely essential to American citi

Never know the road to travel
Till my feet are on Its way;
Always fear the mire and gravel
May o'erwhelm me as I stray;
But each day brings some assurance,
If I walk the best I know,
Mine will be the sure endurance
All the doubtful way to go.
Often times I go a-straying,
Though, in blindness, I scarce heed;
All the Journey thus delaying,
I must turn would I succeed.
Yet I know, although I wander
Idly, vainly, to and fro,
I shall gain the haven yonder.
If that way I strive to go.
