Entered at Pendleton Postofflce as second-class mntter.
Pendleton saved 12000 in cash today by having the circus pass through
town.
One more the Pendleton Indian robe is found in the markets of the Pa
cific coast, proclaiming to the world the fame and wealth of Umatilla county.
The boys who are going to graduate from Pendleton high school next year
are now piling wheat sacks in the warehouses and driving combined harvesters
In the wheat fields. '
A $2.(100,000 water power, electric light and Irrigation scheme is now be
ing surveyed In Union county. The Umatilla river In the Blue mountains of
Umatilla county, offers inducements even greater than this.
Have you noticed that although there have been. several vacant houses In
Pendleton during Ihe past summer, the prices of real estate and especially of
residence property, are even higher than a year ago? And rent has not been
reduced, either.
The agents of the bis wheat exporting companies represented in Umatilla
county cannot afford to have it said that they have formed a combination
against the farmers. There Is too much nt stake. The farmers have' more
Influence than all the companies combined, if they decide to use It.
There is no need for any Umatilla county boy or girl to go away from home
for any kind of a common education now. With the addition of science, com
merclal departments, domestic science, music and modern languages to the
various schools of Pendleton, any young man or woman can now secure an
education in Pendleton as good as can be acquired elsewhere, up to the uni
versity courses.
LOCUSTS AUK COMING.
For thousands of years there have
been plagues of locusts, and a visita
tion is du this yenr.
According to Entomologist Marlatt
of the department of agriculture, two
broods of the periodical cicada, or lo
custs will reappear this year, ono nn
Important and widely distributed 17
year brood, and the other nn unim
portant, small and scattering 13-year
brood.
The 17-year brood may be expected
in the states of Massachusetts, New
York (Long Island), Pennsylvania.
New Jersey, Maryland, District of Co
lumbia, Northern Virginia. West Vir
ginia, North Carolina, South Carolina.
fieorgln, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio
Indiana and Illinois. This brood has
a peculiar Interest, Inasmuch as It Is
the one which was first noted, or re
corded In literature at least, by the
ea'-ly European colonists on this con
tinent.
The 13-year locust will appear In
A'abama, Georgia, North Carolina
and Tennessee.
The periodical cicada Is so well
known that a general account of It
In thlc place Is unnecessary. When
It appears In great numbers It natur
ally causes considerable alarm and
arouses fears for the snfety of shade
trees nnd orchards.
The actual damage, 'however. Is
usually slight, except In the case of
newly planted orchards, nnd even
here, by rigorous pruning back after
the cicada has disappeared, much of
th Injury caused by the egg punc
tures can be obviated.
BAC K IX TOWN".
The adoption of statement No. 1 In the last campaign In Oregon and the
agreement to elect the people's choice for United States senator has given
Oregon more favorable advertising than has resulted from any other political
movement ever started anywhere. All the leading magazines are discussing
Oregon's progressive ideas and these articles are attracting the attention of
the reading public all over the world.
The lumber trust of the northwest is now preventing the construction of at
least 2Ti elegant residences in Pendleton. The houses In contemplation arc
or permanent homes and not small cottages for rent, and this nefarious
irust, dominated by the big mills of Tacoma, Seattle and Portland. Is pre
venting the employment of labor, killing the building trades and holding bnck
the development of hundreds of towns In the northwest. After robbing the
government of timber land as long as it could, the octopus now turns Its at
tention to the helpless public.
STATE DEPOSITORY LAW NEEDED.
The.ftate of Wyoming, which has a state accountant and which lias saved
thou.-an of dollars of state funds through thin law, is now agitating for a
state depository law. whereby the state may secure interest on Idle funds held
In county and state treasuries.
Oregon would do well to Imitate Wyoming In both these laws. A state
accountant is needed in Oregon by which accounts of every public official
would be checked up and experted every month. This would prevent short
ages, mistakes and losses through whatever source and the saving to trap state
would more than pay the expenses of the office.
Likewise a depository law, by which county and state funds may be placed
at interest in banks offering the highest rate of interest with good security.
would be profitable to the state.
The income from this source would more than pay the expenses of the
state and county treasuries. It would be a clear gain to the state and Instead
of the people paying out tax money for salaries of these officials, the Idle
funds would make the offices self-supporting.
The Oregon legislature should pass both of these excellent laws.
The record of Wyoming Justifies Imitation.
WOMEN HE SILENT? N EVER!
After reviewing the statements of both the Portland Oregonlan and Ore
gon Daily Journal as to the reasons for the defeat of the equal suffrage
amendment In Oregon, the Boise Statesman suggests that the women of
Oregon may win If they keep still next campaign and permit the equal suf
frage sentiment to "soak in," as It were.
The Statesman says of the question:
The decisive defeat of the equal suffragists in Oregon cnused widewrpead
surprise. Leader of the movement now explain that It was due to a comhlna
lion of politicians, railroads and saloon men.
To this the Portland Oregonlan enters an emphatic dental. It sivys the
politicians v. . re scared to death of the issue and would not have touched It
adversely for worlds: that the saloon men wielded no Influence, as was evi
denced by the disastrous defeat of their Interests, to protect which they act
lvely entered the campaign, and that the railroads had no time to oppose
equal suffrage, being kept busy opposing candidates who were pledged to
franchise legislation and not desiring to confuse their Issue.
Having disposed to Its own satisfaction of the claims made by the suffrage
leaders, the Portland Journal proclaims that the defeat of the suffragists was
due to the unpopularity of the proposed Innovation among the masses.
In suppoit of its position it points out that in 1900, when a "still" cumpalgn
was made, the women came within 2000 votes of victory, whereas In 1906
ufi-r a vigorous imitation of the subject, they were defeated by 10,000 votes.
In other words. th;it paper Is .f the opinion that agitation of the question
alone brought disaster to the agitators.
W- retard this construction, If true, as a sad commentary on the blasted
chivalry and fair mlndedness of Oregon's men.
If the theory Is correct-, however, the women may yet win there by re'
malning absolutely slbm the next time the issue in presented, or, better stll
by openly opposing It. ,

path, stood aside to see what might
befall. The first man who stumbled
ovr It said nothing, . but went his
way. "There," said the philosopher,
"Is a Conservative Cltl.en, the back
bone of our Institutions."
The n-'Xt one fell on his face and
railed upon the Tetrnrch, but he al
so left the brick and went on his way.

Thinge." " Then Plato replaced the
brick In the path again.
But a certain man came along, and
when he ha-I stubbed his toe he took
rrp the brick anil hurled it nt the Phil
osopher. "That," 'said Plato, as lie
dodged th brick, "br an anarchist
