What l Teach the Hoy. Teach him to be true to his word. To respect religion for its own sake. To face all difficulties with courage and cheerfulness. To form no friendships that cun bring him into degrading associations. To respect other people's con- V victlons. To reverence womanhood. To live a clean life In thought and word as well as In deed. Teach him that true manli- ness always commands success. That the best things in life are not those that can be bought with money. ' That to command he must first learn to obey. That there can be no compro- mlse between honesty and dis- honesty. That a gentleman Is just what the word Implies a man who is gentle In his dealings with the opinions, feelings and weak- nesses of other people. L. M. Montgomery. "JVIKi.MENTS." Recently San Francisco ministers have been exploiting moral conditions' In San Francisco and many sharp criticisms on social life in the Bay city have been made in her pulpits. ; The newspapers defended the city against the broad accusations of the ministers and on the morning of the earthquake, the San Francisco Call, ' In the very last issue of that paper! which came from the press but two ' hours before the city was devastated. ' summed up moral conditions of the city as follows: : "Excellent and high-minded clergy men in this city are discussing, rather warmly, its moral status. All cities need to have their morals medicated. ' San Francisco is no exception. Bishop Hamilton, who lives and has spiritual Jurisdiction here, has filed a descrip tion of San Francisco, including an archy and social vice a. among our characteristics. Others, supporting' his statements, express a fear of local revolution and bloodshed. "This is a very cosmopolitan city. : We have here the good and bad of many races and nationalities. We blaspheme In many languages. Once In a while a red fla is raised. But let us be calm. In as many languages as we use in blasphemy w- offer ' prayer ami praise. Out of the same mouth come curses ami blessing. One red flag does not make a revolution.1 It is u-ual!y at one end of a pole that' has a fool at the other end. If the fool gets fractious the police takes, him In. j "Sdn Francisco is a frank sort of city. It displays Its vices. They are not concealed. The city puts up no false pretense to being a new Jerusa- 1 lem. Let us not be heavy-hearted. ! The vices we have roost high to be Been, and their Jackdawlng may be heard afar. j "But our virtues tar overmatch ' them and make less display and not ' as much noise. If these good men ' are fearful and moved to flee, to what ' city of refuge will they take a ticket to better themselves In moral sur-' roundh.gs? Better stay with It and work redemption, talking less." j Since the calamity has visited the i beautiful city many people now re-; member the accusations and anathe- I mas of the ministers and In whispered horror declare that Is a "Judgment." Geology sweeps away the "Judg ment" fallacy. Reason, Intelligence, experience, history cry out against It. Volcanoes and earthquakes are us natural as winds and the sunshine. Lava flows and tremors nre natural consequences of natural conditions. Hecnuse a city, built over an earth quake belt, Is shnken down by an un usual agitation of foe crust of the earth Is no sign of a "judgment" of the Creator. Central Persia has been torn nsunder by earthquakes, In the far Interior where there were no In habitants. Islands of the sea have been scourged by volcanoes and have been lost from sight, where not a sol itary human Inhabitant lived to bo "punished." M.ST TKIl.M OF SCHOOL. What has been the best year of public school ever held In Pendleton, is now drawing to a close. It Is best for two reasons: First, because the facilities were better and second, be cause the better facilities gave greater scope for organization and discipline. There has been capable and conscl entlous work In the past, but It was , largely unavailing because of condl tlons which surrounded It. Prof. L. It. Traver, city superiu tendent and his capable corps of teachers have made history In the public schools In this city during the past year. The. record Is an Invita tion to outside students to come here to attend Pendleton punllc schools, as well ns a keen Inducement for those now in the schools to stay and finish the excellent course begun. The organization, discipline, meth od pursued and maintained In the schools have aided In building up the best system of public schools In the inland empire. This should bring 50 new families to this city for the begin ning of the next school year. j The addition of the commercial course In which students may learn shorthand, typewriting, bookkeeping, commercial law and other useful commercial branches, should be a strong Inducement to families seeking a good school to come to Pendleton, Aside from thl, the discipline, the system of work which gets results from each Individual stunent, the or ganization which brings out n full at tendance all the time are all vital inducements to those desiring excel lent school facilities. Even better plans are in store for next year. The faculty and the school board are co-operating in every way to add efficiency and force to the schools and next year Pendleton will open her schools better equipped by trained teachers and new and com modious rooms, than any other , pub lic school in Oregon. Those who nre thinking of seeking a location near a good school nre urged to Investigate Pendleton before looking elsewhere. OKEATEST TRAFFIC CKXTFR. A message from Mazntlnn, Mexico, stating that a monthly line of steam ships was to be established between Salina Cruz on the Isthmus of Te hauntepec and Portland, gives much color to the assertion of the St, Louis 'Ilobe Democrat that the Gulf of Mex ico will soon become one of the busi est bodies of oceanic water In the world. In referring to this matter the ;iobe-Demncrat calls attention to the fact that the principal railways are looking for outlets on the gulf, and says: In all sections of the country the leading railways are studying connec tions with the fiulf of Mexico, the work on the Panama canal naturally suggesting that one of the world's greatest centers of commercial activi ty will be developed there. West of the Mississippi the railroads have been reaching vigorously in that direction, and will be among the foremost to get to the goal. East of the river the same move ment Is visible. One project alms to approach Havana by binding together the succession of Islands, until through trains can enter Key West. Another plan Is to combine a number of Bmall Georgia roads In a line to the gulf port, and the Alabama iron re gion Is Interested In the gulf outlet. Pensacola, Gulfport, Mobile, Xew Or leans, Galveston and Port Arthur are all awake on this large subject. But more Important than the con struction of any gulf railway system Is the Improvement of the Mississippi river, the great continental artery, whose headwaters reach Into half the states, and whose navigable tributar ies sweep thousands of miles north, eust ond west. Railroads running gulfward will command a good looal as well as through traffic, for they traverse a region whose rich re sources have as yet been lightly touched.

Serene, indifferent of Fate, Thou sittest at the Western Gate; Upon thy height, so lately won. Still slant the banners of the sun; Thou seest the white sons strike their tents, O warder of two continents!

O, lion's whelp, that hldest fast In j ingle growth of spire and mnsH I know thy cunning and thy greed. Thy hard high lust and wilful deed, And nil thy glory loves to tell Of spacious gifts material.

Then rise, O fleecy fog, and mlse The glory of her coming days. Be ns the cloud that flecks the seas Above her smoky nrgosles; When forms familiar shall give place To strnnger speech and newer face; When all her throes and anxious fears Lie hushed In the repose of years; When Art shall raise and Culture lift The sonsual Joys and meaner thrift, And all fulfilled the vision we Who watch and wait shall never see, Who.

The debate on the railroad rate bill In the senate has brought to the sur face much valuable Information with reference to the railroad mileage, earnings and taxations of the railroads In this country as compared with rail roads of foreign countries. It Is a fact not generally known that there are mere miles of railroad In the United States than there are In Eur ope, Asia and Africa combined, and nearly half the railroad mileage of the w;oiid is confined to the United States. In 50 years the growth of the pres ent railway system of the United States has been marvelous. It reach ed In 1850 only 9021 miles. According to the report ef the Interstate com merce commission of 1305, the totnl operated railroad mileage In the United States on June 30, 1904, was 21-2.243 mllcs.i The gross earnings and Income of the railroads in the United States for that year were 2.18S,108.0S1, or about J!, 000. 000 a day; locomotives In ttie service of the railways, 4S,73; totai number of cars of all classes, 1,. 7fS,R61. The number of persons on the pay rolls cf the railways of the United States for that year was 1.390.121. and the wages and. salaries paid to railroad officers and employes for 1904 was J817.59S.810, nnd the par value of the amount of railway capi tal outstanding on June 30, 1904, was 1!. 21 24.679. representing the cap italization of $64,265 a mile for the railways In the United States and pay ing an annual taxation of over $60, 000,000. When it is remembered that the total railway mileage In European Rusla Is 32,9117; In Germany, 2S.102 miles; Austria-Hungary, 2 .l3 1 miles; France. 26,950 miles; United Kingdom, 22.634 miles; Japan, 4495 miles: China. 1176 ndles, and Africa, 15,560 miles, one can se how far the United States leads the great nations of the world In railroad mileage and In Immense power and influence of railroads. PRISON AM) A FINE OF $.-,75,7 III. Judge Speer In the United States court at Savannah, fin., Friday sen tenced B. D. Greene and John F.

Think of It, how strange and un believable this would have sounded a fw yaers ago: "The opera of 'Faust,' played In Cheyenne, Wyo., 600 miles away, by the National Opera company was heard by long distance telephone In the convention of elec tricians In session In Salt Lake City. The orchestra, voices, and even the applause, could be distinctly heard." San Francisco Star.

T Absolutely Fssre Made from cptire Grape Cream of Tartar In baking powder Royal is the standard, the powder of highest reputation ; found by the United States Government tests of greatest strength and purity. It renders the food more healthful and palat able and is most economical in practical use. Housekeepers are sometimes importuned to buy alum powders because they are "cheap." Yet some of the cheapest made powders are sold to consumers at the highest price. Housekeepers should stop and think. Is it not better to buy the Royal and take no chances the powder whose goodness and honesty are never questioned ? Is it economy to spoil your digestion by an alum-phosphate or other adulterer! powder to save a few pennies ? ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK RICHFST NFGRO FARM F.I!. Cody Bryant enjoys the distinction of being the wealthiest negro fnrmer in Georgia. Bryant's estate, which he has ac cumulated without receiving outside aid within the last quarter of a cen tury, is reputed to be worth between t.VMiOO and $100,000. He owns un incumbered nearly 2000 acres of the finest farming land In Middle Georgia, much of It being valued at $50 an acre. In addition to his extensive land holdings Bryant has large sums Invested in various enterprises In his section.

More than one billion passengers were carried on the surface, elevated and subway roads of Greater New York last year. The exact number of paid fares was 1,171,151,698. an In crease of 93.493.451. Of these fewer than a quarter were transferred. The Increase in transfers fell far below the Increase In paid fares, which Is IT PAYS to buy i:ENN m uccauso oi its pcrt-euon a id ptintv.

The following, where n moral Is clearly shown. Is taken from an ex change: Recently n church congrega tion In a little Kansas town built a now church. To nov f..i- It ,. obliged to .call on the merchants of the community for donations. The merchants responded Ills-rally and $300 was raised from this source. The last man asked to subscribe was John Smith. Jeweler. "I will give you $5 If you will let me add something to the subscription list," he said. The permission was accorded him and l.e wrote ut the foot of the list: John Smith. Jeweler. $5. Sears. Roebuck ti Co., $0. Montgomery Ward & Co., $n. The church people saw the point when the minister read the list of donors to the hulMlnir fun, i r pulpit, and since the dedication of ne cnurcn iner. nave been no mnll orders sent out from that Kansas town.
