UNION ISavTtABEL Even as a broken mirror, which the glass In every fragment multiplies; and makes A thousand Images of one that was. The same, and still the more, the more it breaks; And thus the heart will do which not forsakes, . Living In shattered guise, and still and cold. And bloodless, with Its sleep less sorrow aches, Tet withers on, 'till all with out Is old. Showing no visible sign, for such things are untold! Byron. WELCOMED JUDGE LOWELL. It Is refreshing to note the hearty greeting which the Intelligent and staunch citizenship of the Willamette valley counties tendered to Judge Lowell, candidate for the United States senate, on his visit to that sec tion of the state. It proves that cleanliness and capa bility are appreciated by the masseB of the people, and that money as a qualification for office is not consid ered at. all by any portion of the peo ple. Although Bourne, the Portland millionaire, is writing letters' to every voter In the state, and Is spending thousands of dollars to win support, yet the common people who love hon esty and straightforward politics laugh at his aggressive campaign. And although Cake, the unknown candidate of the Portland Commercial club 1? using all the commercial flfms of Portland that it Is possible for him to use. as a means of securing recog nition, yet the common people are slow to become enthused by his meth ods. Judge Lowell Is In the lead and if all republicans who admire clean capability will support him, he will be elected senator. GIVE IS STREET PAYING. The present city council has an op portunity to do more good service for Pendleton than any council in the history of the city. By responding to the public demand for street paving, the council can ele vate Pendleton out of the list of coun try towns, place her in the list of cities and erect a monument to the progressive spirit of the council which will stand for all time. There is no legal objection to pav ing;. There Is little public sentiment against It. There Is no Just nor logi cal grounds upon which the council can refuse to Inaugurate paving at once. If it refuses to Inaugurate It, H must do so upon some weak pre text which the council, as a body of business men, cannot afford to found an objection upon. The mailer has been thoroughly discussed and practically all the home owners are a unit for good, substantial paving at the earliest pos sible date. The legal technicalities have been swept away. The pretexts of the opponents have meited one by one before the reasoning of the advo catea of paving, and now any objec tlon to paving which the members of the council may bring forth, will be considered by the public as a blockad ing 1 method. since . the opponents to paving have shifted their grounds from one objection to another until all their opposition has become a threadbare chestnut. y. .- If the Northwestern Gas Electric company, of which J. R. Dickson and John D. Rockefeller are part owners, Is inot ready for paving, let It put a hundred men at work and lay Its gas pipes In Pendleton at once. Don't de lay paving any longer. The gas com pany Is under bond to begin work on its plant In the near future, anyway. and why not let It begin now and get its pipes ready before THE PEOPLE OF PENDLETON begin laying pav lng? FURNISH DITCH A PROPHECY. It Is the province of the optimist to dream. Without Imagination the world would be a colorless canvas. Were we forbidden to peer Into the future the edge would be taken away from the mind and Its Keenest de lights would be dulled. They say selfishness Is at the base of every great movement which has benefitted mankind. It may be. But if the movement really benefits man kind, is It not a laudable sort of self ishness? Let us remember the Umatilla coun ty desert as It was 40 years ago. It lay utterly useless across the path of the westward pressing pilgrim. With out water It might have lain for ages Just as useless, as when the eye of white men first beheld It. But civil ized and organized selfishness comes along as a savior, and the waste 1b transformed Into a place of homes, a I thing of utility. And now In the future tt Is easy to imagine a beautiful empire of happl ness arising on the ashes of the des ert. With water intelligently applied to the desert. It la possible to Imagine one of the most highly cultivated sec tions in the west, under the Furnish ditch In Umatilla county. The opening of the headgates of this ditch marks the beginning of a new era In this county. The first trickling stream which wandered falterlngly through the newly cut ca nals. Is the messenger of a new and splendid age, the precursor of a new civilization on the desert waste. The touching of water to the parched lips of the desert Is a promise and a prophecy for the future. From that sacred rite will spring the fabric of a new .order. Hecneforth the des ert will throb with Its new life and respond to the thrilling touch of Its master, man. AN IDAHO VIEW OF DROWN. The political situation in Oregon Is attracting the attention of .outside states, and the Boise Statesman, one of the oldest and most conservative papers on the Pacific coast, takes note of conditions In a startling way. It unqualifiedly Indorses Harvey K. Brown, and his reform platform and says the people of Oregon will make a mistake if they fail to t'.ect him gov ernor of the state. r Slowly the Idea of civic righteous ness is permeating the sentiment ol the country and soon a man who dares to demand law enforcement and public honor will be less ridiculed than at present. The Statesman says: Over In Oregon there Is an Interest ing contest In progress for the repub lican nomination for the governor ship. These Is at least one candidate In the field, Harvey K. Brown of Ba ker City, who represents all that good citizens should desire, and a great many people outside of the state who are watching the contest will hope the people of Oregon will have t.he wis dom to nominate him. He has made a record as an official in Baker that commends him to all who believe In sterling honesty. In the enforcement of the laws, and, gener ally, In decent discharge of duty by men occupying public positions. He Is a man of marked ability and great force of character, and he Is un waveringly In favor of those things which tend to strengthen the com monwealth and elevate citizenship. The women of Oregon should take an especial interest In his candidacy, for he not only favors equal suffrage but standB also' for those things which protect the home. The Butte election resulted In the election of six out of eight councllmen by democrats. , BACK AGAIN And welcome to the heart of every lover of sport Is the opening of the baseball season.

She stood on the sands and blew sweet kisses To the salt sea wind as she dried her hair. And the seal sea wind was the first to caress her, To praise her beauty and Call her sweet r , The first of the whole wide world to possess her She, that creature of light and heat. Though the sea is old with its sor rows and angers. And the world has forgotten why love was born. Yet the salt sea wind Is full of lan guors That Venus taught . on her natal morn. And. now whoever dwells there by the ocean, . And feels the wind on his hair and face, Is stirred by a subtle and keen emo tion The lingering spell of that first em brace. New York Journal. A LAND OF MYSTICISM. Persia probably doesn't know she's a sore problem to the foreign secre taries of nations, besides being the despair of all missionaries. Her shah "king of kings" ensconced In bar baric splendor In his vast rambling palace at Teheran Is, of course, a mere puppet Juggled alternately by Russia and Great Britain, both of whose huge empires impinge upon that of the "shadow of God upon earth." A land of other days, Persla'B glory Is departed, like that of the Medes and Parthlans, the Babylonians nnd Assyrians. Her cities are crumbling to ruin: her laws are the whims of grand viziers; her court a mere hot bed of harem Intrigue more strange than any found even in tho glowing pages of "The Arabian Nights." From "Far-off Persia." by G. F. Wil liams, In Four-Track News for April. SENATOR LONG "IN SOCIETY. Senator Long, of Kansas, didn't mingle much In society when he was In the house of representatives. A few days ago he went with his wife to a reception at the house of Senator Elklns, of West Virginia. The Longs went In. The senator shook hands with Mrs. Elklns, who received them most graciously. Then he went on down the line, shaking hands with everybody else he saw. The person at the end of the line was a very dis tinguished looking man, and the sen ator greeted him warmly, "Who was that man at the end of the line with whom I shook hands?" asked the senator of Mrs. Long, when they had greeted everybody. "That?" asked Mrs. Long; "oh, that was the butler." THE DEAD SEA OF AMERICA. The Grent Salt lake, Utah, has a length of 75 miles, a width of 35 miles, and a circumference of 291 miles. It Includes six Islands, the largest having a length of 16 miles and a width of five miles, with a peak rising to tho height of 3000 feet above the level of the lake. The water Is of such density that persons can float in it easily; Its density excelled only by that of the Dead Sea. The waters of the Great Salt lake are gradually re ceding from the shore line. THE MAN WHO DOESN'T WORRY. There's many an. easy going man Who does not fret and stew, Nor He awake to scheme and plan, But sleeps the whole night through; Who has no troublous hopes and fears Nor thirst for riches and renown; Content he lingers through the years And dies Indebted to the town.

At. the first dis tribution they amounted to 150,782 kronen, but this year they have been reduced to 138,089. Tho Income from the Nobel endowments, according to the latest reports, was 1,378,000 kro nen; but the expense of management has been so great that less than one half of this sum has been distributed In prizes.

The small Apennlne' republic of San Marino, the oldest and smallest In the world, and scarcely known out side its narrow frontier except to stamp collectors, hus Just re-entered upon a democratic regime. . The arrlngo, as the original repre sentative body of the republic is, called has once more met and the citizens of San Marino, numbering In all about 1700 families, have once more been restored to their civic rights. Under the original constitution of San Marino the government of the republic consisted of a general as sembly of heads of families, the so called arrlngo, and a grand council of 60, composed of 20 nobles, 20 citi zens, and 20 landowners. .

This was the state of things when Addison visited Sun Marino two cen turies ago, and this has been the con dition until the present day. During the Inst few years, however, there was so strong a popular agitation against this oligarchic system that, to prevent a revolution, the arrlngo has been revived. It is now In session. and there Is peace and happiness throughout the reborn republic. COSTLY' CANAL WORK. With steam shovels and all mechan ical lnbor-savlng machinery the work of moving dirt on the Isthmus Is proving very expensive. Reports show that the 160,000 cubic yards of dirt taken out of the Culebra cut during the month of February, cost 61 cents a yard. , Contractors who use mules and scrapers on levee and railroad work are glad to receive from 10 to 17 cents a yard, but, of course, the work is vastly different. Nevertheless, one would think that dirt could be carried out In paper sacks for iess than It Is costing the government. When the tracks are laid and the dirt can be hauled away, no doubt It will be cheaper to move It than It Is now, but Uncle Sam usually Is taxed the limit for anything that Is done for or by him.
