This world is a world of
sore
trials at best.
We all have our crosses
to
bear,
And often our courage is put to
r the test
In battling with worrying
care,
And if in the battle your rub-
beiy knees
Are shaking with fear !n your
pants,
Don't get in the way of the
braver ones, please
Make a sneak and give others
a chance!
STREET SPRINKLING.
For several years, or since the res
idence districts of Pendleton have
spread out in every direction, con
stant complaints have been made that
street sprinkling has been confined
as of old, to the principal streets,
notwithstanding this growth of the
city.
While the East Oregonian does not
wish to censure the street sprinkling j
committee of the city council, yet it
believes the people In different parts
of the city have a Just complaint.
It is true that the wagons put too
much water on some close-in streets
and neglect outlying streets. Dust,
ankle deep, is found in many of the
outside streets, while In the Vicinity
of the business portion, the streets
are often too muddy from sprinkling
for any use.
The same amount of water nowi
used could be spread out over more
streets with better general results.
There Is no question about this.
Everyone who has watched this mat
ter knows that unless the committee
compels the contractor to do so, he
Is going to make It as easy on teams
as possible, and will pull just as few
hills as he can.
The street sprinkling committee
should see that every portion of th
city is treated alike. The residents
on Water, Court and Main street res
idence districts pay no higher rate
of taxes than the residents on the
most obscure street In town, anl
should be no more favorites of the
sprinkling contractor nor the city,
than the most obscure street.
The water system of the city and
the street sprinkling system are
maintained for the public. The ob
ject of the city should be to extend
both as rapidly as the city grows and
not permit either to be exclusive for
anybody or any portion of the city.
It should be stipulated In the con
tract with the sprinkling contractor
what streets should be sprinkled. All
streets should look alike to the con
tractor as far as his choice is con
cerned. Because a street Is hilly
should be no excuse for the contrac
tor to avoid it.
Thousands of dollars are Invested
on the hilly streets In Pendleton and
thlB property Is entitled to recognition
from all departments of the city.
These hilly residence districts should
have street sprinkling, mail delivery,
fire protection and other public con
veniences to which they are Justly
entitled.
DON'T I.IKE LA FOLLETTE.
The Kunsns City Journal says:
"The announcement of Senator La
FolK-tte that he will bolt tf Fairbanks
Is nominated will cause many voters
who have not thought much about
Fairbanks to wonder If he isn't a
mighty good umii for president, after
all."
What has Senator La Follette done
to make his presence In the republi
can party obnoxious to republican ed
itors? asks Bryan's Commoner.
He seems to stand very high among
men of all political parties in nil sec
tions of the country. The republican
national convention undertook to read
him out of the party und refused his
delegation a seat in the convention;
but, appealing to the people of Wis
consin, he was vindicated by an enor
mous majority, re-elected to the office
of governor, and then elected to the
I'nited States senate, since which time
n hag 8teadUy p.own n public favor,
Senator La Follette seems depend
able when it comes to a question be
tween right and wrong, to a contest
between special interests and public
interests; yet some republican editors
and leaders seem very anxious to read
La Follette out of their party.
The extreme anxiety of the Kansas
City Journal on this point is shown
by its willingness to go so far as to
i nominate Sir. Fairbanks in l'JOS.
THE UEG1XMXG OF A CITY.
Everyone familiar with the growth
,of various cities throughout the
j country, says that the introduction of
j street paving marks the actual period
j of permanency and continual growth
j of a majority of cities.
i It is such a valuable and popular
public improvement thai it actually
attracts capital. It is a perpetual
; public utility and Its introduction dls-
Ipels any fears that may have existed
as to the permanency of the town.
After Main and Court streets are
paved In this city, it will be but a
short time until the property owners
on Webb and Alta street will want
paving. The benefits of it and the
appearance of the streets after being
paved will bring others into line for
a share of the prosperity and growth.
The law giving cities the power to
change their charters within them
selves is now in force and city char
ters which may have stood in the way
of paving w ill be amended by the peo
ple. Oregon Is out of the swaddling
c,..lhes f the frontier period. She is
a full-Iledged state with brilliant
prospects and her cities will keep
pace with other cities of equal size
throughout the country.
MAKING ROOM FOR GOOIS.
The East Oregunian notes with
pleasure the brisk mercantile busi
ness of the present summer in this
city. Everybody Is doing more busi
ness than usual during the summer
months. The business activity is un
usual and merchants are taking ad
vantage of the condition to make
room for larger stocks than ever for
the fall and winter trade.
Agents of Pendleton houses are
now placing orders for the largest
stocks ever brought to the city. The
largest variety of merchandise, the
most complete stocks, and the best
selection ever carried in the city will
be carried the coming year. The
growth and expansion of business Is
encouraging. It has demanded new
lines, new departments, new features.
and all these will be supplied.
Readers of the East Oregonian are
urged to read the advertisements.
Merchants who advertise have a mes
sage for you. You can save money
by trading with progressive men who
make room for new goods constantly
by judicious advertising.
PECl LIAR USE FOR DIAMONDS.
A fact not generally known Is that
diamonds are quite extensively used
as dies for drawing wire of the small
est sizes. For Instance, the size less
thnn, say, 0.025-Inch diameter. The
hardest steel dies are not suitable for
this work, for the reason that the
wear upon them so enlarges the die
that the diameter of the wire Is not
uniform within the required percen
toge of variation at the beginning and
end of a drawing.
Sapphires are also used sometimes
for this work. Copper, silver and
platinum are the metals usually
drawn to the very smallest sizes. With
diamond dies It Is practicable to draw
platinum to a diameter of flve-thous.

fineness of a copper wire drawn to

in diameter mny be gathered from the
fact that In one pound of the metal
there ore over six miles of such wire.
The weight of the diamonds used
for this work Is from four to five
karats and they are uncut except as
to the die. The value of these, dies
which are not, of course, of the first
water, varies from $15 to J20 a karat
and several hundred thousand dollars
worth of diamonds are utilized as
dies In the various wire factories of
this country alone.
Skillful, however, ns must be the
artisans who sink these small dies and
attenuated ns the wires drawn
through them may be, yet neither will
stand comparison with the output of
the spinneret of the common spider,

so fine that 13,000 threads are re

FIRST HOLY ROLLERS.
Merlin, Oro., claims to have discov
ered the first Holy Hollers on record.
A dispatch from that place says:
During the fall of 1897 there ap
peared in this community LuK-,
Swanson and Beckett, with their fam
ilies, preaching a new religion, a fea
ture of which was that Its converts
rolled on the floor. When the rainy
season began regular services were
conducted In the hophouse of H. L.
Robertson,, four miles west of Merlin,
on Rogue river. Lute was credited
with exercising hypnotic power over
his subjects.
During these meetings the women
discarded all their Jewelry and wore
only the plainest clothes. The name
"Holy Holler" was given them by the
boys and girls of Merlin, who often
went to witness their strange antics.
A great many who were under the
spell were so ridiculed that they gave
up the practice. However, today there
are a few who are loyal to tbe faith,
nnd have their little church and reg
ular service. They have discarded the
rolling.
Where Lute, Swanson and Beckett
went no one seems to know, and the
next heard of the Holy Hollers was
at Corvallls, where the name evident
ly stuck to them after Crcfflcld se
cured the ascendancy.
RAREST AMEIUCAX COIN.
When $ 2 1 ti r. was paid the other day
for a J5 gold pjece of 1S22. that coin
took Us place as the rarest of Ameri
can coins, eclipsing the 1SU4 dollar,
which for many years had that dis
tinction. The price surprised coin
dealers and collectors, for It exceeded
by over $1000 the greatest sum previ
ously paid for a specimen, of the de
nomination and year.
A curious phase of the history of
this gold piece Is that even those
well Informed about coins did not
know of the rarity of the 1S22 half
eagle until about 20 years ago. It Is
a matter of record that the last
owner of the coin bought It from a
New York dealer in old coins for $6.
Yet at that time only three specimens
were known to exist. ,
No one knows why there are so few
left, for the mint records shw that
17. 706 halt eagles were struck In
1822. One of the two other speci
mens Ls in the coin cabinet at the
Philadelphia mint, while the private
collection of Virgil M. Itrand contains

BOSTON GIRL LEARXS.
Miss Susie Dodge, who Is visiting in
camp. Is getting along nrst rate, bne
got a frightful ducking two weeks
back. It seems that Sue Is from a
town named Brookllne, which Is a
suburb of the flaked Beun metrop
olis. She tried to throw on dog when
she reached this camp, and she re
ferred to the graveyard shift in the
Wild Bill mine as Indians. They took
Susie down Iit the bucket soon after
and there was about six feet of water
In the sump. After Sue had got
soaked good and right, she changed
her Ideas and agreed that the bunch
was made up of Puritan Baptists. Sue
says she knows more than to criticise

Charles Bakody, formerly a star of

success In New York. His eyeBlght

WHITE'S FITTING KXI.
There Is ghastly Irony In the frothy
frivolous lines of the show on the
Madison Square garden roof. Harry
Thaw chose an appropriate environ
ment for the murder of Stanford
White.
The play is entitled "Mamzelle
Champagne, n Musical Rubble In Two
Bottles." It Is supposed to represent
the gay life.
Lines picked nt random from the
play now seem to have lost their hu
mor, and have become a grotesque
mockery.
Here are some of the glaring ex
amples. The first song, nn ensemble. Is en
titled "Life."
"Fare-thee-well, purveyor to de
graded tastes," says one comedian.
"Somewhere my love is pining
somewhere a broken heart." Song.
"Marriage Is the only thing that
will open your eyes."
"I love you whether you are mar
ried or not."

"And this Is where our hero di

are the worst."

SOME DARK STATISTICS.
The number of homicides and
deaths by violence In tho United
States in 1905 was 9212, as against
S1S2 In 1!01. Suicides. 9082, as
against 9240 In 1904. Killed on steam
railroads In 1905. 3140; Injured, 15.
904. Killed on electric nnd elevated
railroads, 464; Injured, 2622. Thes-;
statistics, collected by the Chicago
Tribune, are unofficial, but perhaps
they are none the less trustworthy on
that account. We murder nnd man
slaughter nine times as many as the
Germans, four times as many as the
English. S.-ntrh nnd Welsh. America

It mildly. "With the Procession." In

A TRULY IDEAL WIFE
HER HUSBAND'S BEST HELPER
Vigorous Health Is the Oreat Source of
rower to inspire - ana n,ncauKgs
All Women Should Seek It.
One of the most noted, successful and
richest men of this century, in a recent
article, has said, " Whatever I am and
whatever success I hare attained iu
this world I owe all to my wife. It roin
the day I first knew her she has been
an inspiration, and the greatest hclp
icate of my life."
JArJ. 3 ei Jf ins ley
To be such a successful wife, to re
tain the love and admiration of her
husband, to inspire him to make the
most of himself, should be a woman's
constant study.
If a woman finds that her energies
are flag-intf, that she get easily tired,
dark shadows appear under her eyes,
she has backache, headaches, bearing
down pains, nervousness, irregularities
or the blues, she should start at once
to build up her system by a tonic with
specific powers, such as Lydia E, Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound.
Following we publish by request a
letter from a young wife :
Dear Mrs. Pinkbam:
" Ever since my child was born I have suf
fered, as I hops few women ever have, with in
flammation, female weakness, hearing-down
paina, backache and wretched headaches. It
affected my stomach so I could not enjoy my
meals, and half my time was spent in bed.
" Lydia B. Pink ham'i Vegetable Compound
made me a well woman, and I feel so grateful
that I am glad to write and tell you of my
marvelous recovery. It brought me health,
new life and vitality." Mrs. Bessie Ainsley,
811 South 10th Street. Tacoma, Wash.
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound did for Mrs. Ainsley it will
do for every sick and ailing woman.
If you have symptoms you don't un
derstand write to Mrs. Plnkham,
daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Plnkham,
at Lynn, Mass. Her advice Is free and
