What Is this life except a trust
For nobleness and right,
The torch which, while we may,
we must
Stl'l bear and keep alight;
And when, from our exhausted
. will
It flickers, hand It on,
That It may burn and beckon
still,
Till Time Itself be gone.
Alfred Austin.
SMUX, JITE MILL WILL HELP.
The state of Oregon lends Its
school money to the people at a lower
rat's of Interest than Is ordinarily
charged by banks and private money
lenders.
The amount of money available In
this fund does not supply one-tenth
part of the borrowers in the state,
and yet no one has complained of
the distribution of the fund. Every
body takes r. chance on securing this
cheaper money from the state. The
state wrves the applicants in turn and
derives n large income from this
source.
Has any one been heard to demand
that the state cease lending this cheap
fund until there Is enough In the
fund to supply all the borrowers In
the state? Has any one been heard
to complain of the distribution of the
school fund among the farmers who
use It?
It would be equally as childish to
say that the state should not estab
lish a jute mill until it was able tu
supply the entire demand for sacks
Tt Is the state's duty to utilize every
resource as far as It goes. All state
Institutions grow. None of them were
Installed full grown. None of them
were built to meet every energy. They
are all constructed upon an expansive
plan, uj on a plan which can be ex
tended to meet development and
growth.
So with the Jute mill.
The Pendleton Tribune hopes that
the legislature will be able to over
come the opposition of Governor
Chamberlain to the Jute mill. The
East Oregonlan believes that S3 re
publican mnibers of the legislature
would be fully able to overcome thu
governor's opposition In any partisan
matter where distribution of patron
ape might be involved.
If S3 members are not able to pass
a Jtite mill bill over the governor's
opposition, It Is because they are
seeking for an excuse not to pass it.
V 41. I E OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS.
The Year Book of the department
of agriculture Just issued, tells no
more fascinating story of Industrial
wealth than that of the domestic ani
mals of the L'rilcd States. The fig
ures are amazing. The aggregate Is
stupendous. To comprehend the mag-
i.ltude of this branch of human In
dustry requires nothing short of a
vivid Imagination.
Horses, regardless of bicycles, auto
mobiles, electric cars and other me
chanical developments, surpass In
vu'.ue the entire corn crop of the
United States for 190. '
The total number of horses In the
United States Is 17,000.000, and their
value Is 1. 200, 000, 000. The mules
of the country are valued at J2R2,
l"0,000. Milch cows number 17.575,000 and
ore valued at 1432.000, 000. There ar
4 3, 69, 000 head of other cattle valu
ed at $C2. 000,000.
Narrowing range areas have caused
the number of sheep to decline. There
FRATERNITY AND RELIGION.
It Is said that one-third of the
population of Pendleton belongs to
some one of the 25 fraternal orderj
represented .In the city.
Pendleton Js noted for Its Immense
lodge membership. Some of the
mnA prosperous lodges In the north
west are supported In Pendleton. Two
of these lodges have memberships
of over 600 and three of the orders
o.-n valuable buildings.
Hundreds of men In Pendleton
make their lodges their only church.
Their fraternal associations take the
place of a more definite religion.
They live in the atmosphere of broth
erhood. They observe conscientiously
and scrupulously, the broad and ex
pansive cieed of fraternity contained
in their rituals and ceremonies.
The lodge has thus taken place of
the church In a large measure. This
Is not done through any disregard
for the sacred associations of thie
church. Put the spiritual, the senti
mental side of the men Is satisfied
with Its feast of lodge fraternity.
It Is announced now that railroads
aroused by the death of President
Spencer, of the Southern railway, In
a collision, will redouble their efforts
to prevent wrecks and collisions by
improving the service, weeding our
incompetent men and In making im
provements In every way possible by
which the lives of the public may be
safeguarded while traveling. Why Is
the death of President Spencer any
more important from a humanitarian
standpoint, than the death of Pa,t
Figartv. the most obscure section
man on the system? Why wait for
the. death of a railroad president to
begin such a crueale? The public is
entitled to more consideration than
lhis. The lives of every man. woman
ami child traveling are Just as sacred
as the lives of the railway officials
and the same effort should be aroused
hy the death" of the most obscure, as
is aroused by the death of the most
prominent.
juiciais oi me geological survey
declare that" the present generation
the generation to follow, and still
other generations need not worry
uljjut the coal supply of the I'nited
Sta'e.3.
"There Is an abundance of coal in
this country." said one of the survey
scientists. "In fact, there Is coal to
binn for many centuries to come.
While it Is Impossible to make any
accurate prophecy. I think It is safe
to say that the supply in the United
Stater; will last for 4000 or 500ft
years." If there was enough In Pen
dleton to fill all the bins this winter
we would not worry about the other
4993 years' supply Just now.
From March 14. 1900. to October
31, 13H5, there were organized In the
United States 1754 national banks, a!l
In farming districts, with a capital of
less than $30,000 each. This growth
of the rural business of the country
Is the most remarkable phase of na
tional development.
THE ENGLISHMAN'S WAY.
The Philadelphia Record complains
that we Americans talk a great deal
about trusts, but we do nothing-else.
Englishmen act. When a soap trust
was formed there the whole nation
abandoned the use of sotjr made by
the combining companlctjaJ Retailers
had to announce that they" did not
deal In trust soaps or lose their
trade. The combine found Itself un
able to sell Its wares, and It has dis
solved. If Americans hated trusts as
much as they pretend to they would
buy no trust-made goods, and the
combinations would dissolve or go
Into bankruptcy.- Not one of them Is
a complete monopoly. Every one has
rivals. But It Is characteristic of
Americans to swear at trusts and
make not the least effort to patron
ize the Independent concerns. Mem

EXTORTIONS OF PIBLIC
SERVICE COMPAN IES.
Denver is making a strong fight
agi'.lnst the extortions of the telegraph,
express and messenger companies of
that city.
The commercial bo J ei of the city
are starting a concerted movement to
stop the petty grafts practiced upon
customers by these greedy corpora
tions and It Is probable that some
dt finite results will be obtained. The
Denver Post reviewing the subject
says:
Prompt w?rk now will save Denver
citizens thousands of dollars which
will be taken from them by the ex
press and telegraph companies durl'is
thu holiday season. Now is the time
to act.
The teleitiaph and express compu
tus, which charge outrageous rates
for I heir services, have for years made
a practice of catching the Denver citi
zen "coming and going," as the say
ing is. These companies not only
charge for the transmission of messa
ges .uu! the transportation of parcels,
but they charge extra for their deliv
ery in Denver, when they are destined
Tor points a mile beyond the postof-
iice in any direction.
What becomes of this extra charge?
i'lit Tostal Telegraph & Cable com
pany grasps after the 111 cents or 30
cc-nts charg.'d fur the delivery of a
message in Denver, mid puts It In its
coff, rs.
The Western Union Telegraph com
pany d-vldes ils gralt with its messen
ger oils. ;t gives hull of it to the
messenger boy fi r his pay and pockets
the balance. These boys work on a
piece l asts, icce.vlntr 2 cents for each
moss-i5c delivered beyond this zone
which ext-nds In all directions one
mile from the postoffice.
The Po-tai Telegraph & Cable com
pany piys Its buys a flat salary, and
whether each boy delivers 500 messa
ges or 10,000 messages a month, he
receives the same pay from the com
pany. These 1 oys more than earn their
sel.iries by delivering letters and par
cels In the city for city people. The
money charged for the delivery of
messages Is "velvet," or clear profit.
If the telegraph companies were
but making ends meefc It would be a
e'iff-rent proposition, but they make
Immense profits In Denver. They pay
but little taxes.
The express companies are the most
Independent concerns on earth, pos
sibly excepting the Standard OH. They
make a maximum charge for a mini
mum service.
These companies charge from IT.
cents to M.50 for the delivery of par
cels addressed to points a little more
tnan a mile beyond the postoffice In
any direction. Their "free delivery
rtirtrict is somewhat larger than
that of the telegraph companies.
nnium tnese telegraph and express
companies which for such a long time
httve been left undisturbed, be per
mitted to forever continue their small
Ihioving methods?
It Is up to the commercial organi
zations of Denver to sny whether Den
ver shall be classed as a province, a
border town or a city of the 20th
century type.
TlttTII AIJOCT LAND FRAIDS.
Coal lands and timber lands have
been grabbed for many years by the
simple process of hiring scalawags to
enter their claims and transfer their
claims to the grabbers.
There Is no doubt about the frau 1
ulence and mischief of this thing. It
has simply meant the change of pub
lic domain to corporation lomaln.
I'nited States department officials
have known of this thing, but regard
ed it as one of those matters In which
It was wise not to "butt In" and get
In the way of lightnings from the of
ficial clouds.
But the president of the United
Slntes Is honest and he wants every
body else to he honest. Thanks to
that fact. It was possible to bring a
United States senator to the bar of
Justice In Oregon for theft of public
land. And It Is posslbl to bring every
other land thief to iccount. The
point is that the Investigations should
be deep and complete. It Is danger
ous, perhaps, for the department of
ficials only to fool with the land
frnuds. They should not be foiled
with, but fully and mercilessly ex
posed and then the mysterious pow
ers that can strike out of the clouds
will be helpless. Denver Post
