If by clay of toll I've earned
A better thought and It be-
comes
A wed of goodness In some
heart;
I count my wiges by the mart,
A dividend of growing worth.
If I have helped a oul to seek
The perfect purpose of Its life,

And I am rich, Indeed, to win
Small dollars and a living

THE PENDLETON" SPIRIT.
Again that Indomitable Pendleton
spirit has exhibited Its vitality and
power. The same spirit which has
brf.usht Industries to' Pendleton, laid
nu ?ountry roads, contributed to
sufferer In Heppner, Mitchell and
P-vii Francisco, built three school
bulldmes In a single season, voted
$50,000 for a modern sewer system iiv
a town of but 5000 at the time, and
laid pavement on 12 bulness blocks
this season, Inst night got under the
$10,000 sustentation fund for Pendle
ton academy boys' dormitory and de
cided that 't would be built.
The Per.dltton spirit not onlv de
rided t i do something, but it put Its
contribution down In black and white
and last night, within an hour, a large
portion of the $10,000 fund was sub
scribed In the Commercial association
meeting.
This is the spirit which makes Pen
dleton, noted far and near, for Its
progress and business acumen. The
name of Pendleton Is synonymous
with porgress In every part of the
northwest. Other cities use Fendle
ton's accomplishments . to urge pro
g.-ss at home.
Her reputation has again been sus
tained. The Pendleton spirit is
unliue. Its counterpart Is not found
anywnere else.
NO HOPE FOR EMF1.0YES.
Judge John McCall, of the federal
court at Memphis, Tenn., has Just de
cided that the La Follette amendment
to the railroad rate bill, holding rail
roads liable for the Injury of employes
through negligence of the company or
other employes, Is unconstitutional and
that an employe cannot recover dam
ages under the amendment.
This is the first corporation Judge
to make himself heard upon the lia
bility clause of the La Follette amend
ment. About 20 of the leading states of the
Union have liability acts, of which the
La Follette amendment is a perfect
counterpart, and In every state these,
acts are operative and effective.
To say that it is unconstitutional to
hoM corporations liable for negligence
In Inteirtate commerce. Is to say in
so many words that the corporations
own this Judge.
The life tenure of federal Judges Is
another curse which the people will
surely be forced to attack vigorously
In the near future.
HOW THE C. P. WAS SAVED.
Opponents of government owner
ship of railroads have overlooked one
of the moit practical demonstrations
of the government's skill as a rail
road manager on record.
After the government had backed
the promoters of the Union Pacific
railroad, furnished the cash with
which to build the road, and simply
give the road to the private company
whl-h built It, the system even then.
In a few years, was almost wrecked

THE FLECTRICAL AGE AT HAND.
Young men now In college and just
entering college, will make no mistake
If they learn electrical engineering as
a profession for life.
The lectrl.ul age is Just now damn
ing an the world. Water power which
has been running to waste since the
w ricl was made, will be harnessed.
ar.d ! now being harnessed and util
ized In moving machinery, running
cars, lighting cities and turning night
Into day In the mines and factories of
the world.
It Is the most promising profession
now before the young man. It is
fascinating and remunerative and
thousands of positions will open every
year as the Idle power Is developed
and electricity Is applied more and
mere to the common needs of human
ity.
It requires no prophetic eye to see
the scope of electrical development In
the inland empire. Enough power Is
ranning to waste at Tumwater falls
on the Columbia and at Priest Rapids
on the upper Columbia to run electric
carp through every county In Oregon,
Washington and Idaho. This power

A MILLION POLL A It SEAT.
Simon Guggenheim, of the smelter
trust, who has just been elected to
the United States senate by the repub
lican caurur In Colorado, boasts, In a
modest way, that he has spent over
$1,000,000 in building fences and lay
ing lUans for this seat in the senate.
What Is the logical conclusion in
this case?
Why, tint Guggenheim looks upon
the senate as a purely business prop
osition pnd expects to get back hl3
$1,000,000 with interest.
He has striking examples of merce
nary men i. ("-notorial seats to urge
him to make the investment. Rhode
Island, Massachusetts, Maryland, New
York, T'ds, Pennsylvania and other
states have sent back to the senate
reoeatodly, the most corrupt speci
mens of manhood ever kept in public
office, simply because the present
method of electing United States sen
ators permits speculators and specu
la'lnsr corporations, to make large in
vestments in senatorial fights.
The remedy for this condition is to
place senatorial elections in the hands
of the people. Then. If we are bilked,
we will be to blame.
The legislatures will be relieved of
the odium.
Governor Hughes of New York, is
endearing himself to the people of his
state and the nation by declaring for
a recount of the New York city elec
tion in which McClellan defeated
Hearst. Without entering into any of
the details of the election or of the
merits of the candidates, it la known
that there were flagrant election
fiauds. A recount may not change
the result, bjt It will prove the nerve
of Oovernor Hughes and may be the
means of unearthing some tangible
evidence on which a few hundred of
the hired thugs of New York wards
may be sent to Slr.g Sing.
Umatilla coui.ty should gc to the
legislature with a wllbngness to help
every worchy enterprise in any pait

, are too big to be confined to any
j little section of the Mat"'. They know
no boundB excepting the state lines,
in dialing with Important matters of
j legislation. Western Oregon people
neel an open Willamette river lust as
j urgently as eastern Oregon needs an
jopen Columbia, and Umatilla county
should work with equal zeal for all
I partf. of the state.

Nature's Gift from the Sunny South
LITTLE 1907.
Th bafcy year came In last night
On the wings of the western breeze,
From out of Nowhere, far away,
In the 'midst of the Rundown seas.
On his h:east he wore a crescent
brooch
Of sapphires and emeralds twenty.
And on his back from a ribbon hung
golden ' horn of plenty."
His little tunic was edged about.
With lilies and Springtime posies.
And on bis baby brow he wore
A wre.uh of but half-blown roses.
And tbee he brought from the far
away, From the lands where the fairies
rally;
A rift the elves had sent themselves
To the fair Willamette Valley.
Sapphires for skies, and emeralds,
sward;
A verdure never ending,
The mrllng horn to show the wealth
f'f her golden harvest's sending
Posies, the beauty of glade and glen,
And poo whpre the river dallies,
Pospp, fragrant and red to crown
The beautiful Queen of Valleys.

SOUTHERN WEALTH.
A census bulletin Is the basis of an
estimate that the true value of prop
erty In the south In 1904 was $15.
623.000.000, against $12,934,000,000
In 1900.
In the last two years, according to
the Manufacturers' Record, the In
crease of wealth has been rapid and
the "true value" Is now quite $18,-
000.000.000. In the year 1905 the
number of patents Issued to southern
Inventors was 2.701 against 2771 In
1904 and 2796 in 1903.
There has been a similar diminu
tion in the United States at large
from 27.819 In 1903 to 27,539 in 1904
and 26.978 in 1905. This diminution
has been wittily explained by assum
ing that If necessity Is the mother of
Invention, prosperity Is the father of
Indolence, but the real reason may be
In the slow working of the patent of
fice, which is undermanned because
the pay Is Insufficient to attract and
keep and adequate force of skillful
examiners of applications. Memphis

THE UNDERPAID PROFESSION.
"The most underrated and tinder-
peid profession we have In the United
States," Is the way a writer in the New
York Times, characterizes teaching.
All the world knows that women con
stltute the vast majority of public
school teachers. Former United
States Commissioner of Labor Carroll
P. Wright, says: "The lack of direct
political Influence constitutes a pow
erful reason Why women's wages have
been kept nt a minimum," and It
seems significant that In the four
states, where w,men have trre same
political rights as men, men and wom
en teachers are paid alike for equal
wcrk.
HORACE'S GARDEN.
The following shows how happy
Horace was with the little Sabine farm
given him by Maecenas about 33
years before Christ:
"My prayers with this I used to
charge,
A piece of land not very large,
Wherein there should a garden be,
A clear spring flowing ceaselessly,
And where, to crown the whole, there
should
A patch be found of growing wopd.
All this, and more, the gods have sent
And I am heartily content"
Horace.

Bank of Commerce at Wallace, Idaho,
has been raised from $40,000 to 1100,

the Sunny South) is In striking contrast
to the source of lard (the pig-sty).
Cottolene is a clean, wholesome pro
duct that makes food palatable, nutritious
and healthful, and food that any stomach
can digest If American housewives but
knew the superiority of Cottolene over
lard, both from a practical and health
standpoint, lard would never" again
enter any well-regulated
kitchen.
PAN'S FLUTE FOUND.
Among the Roman antiquaries re
cently found at Alexia are some that
are very Interesting, says London
Sketch.
One of them Is a curious Instrument
shaped like a spoon at cne end and
like a fork at the other, an iron horse
shoe, and, what Is the most valuable
of all. a really ancient Pan's pipe.
This instrument Is made of carved
wood, and Is pierced with eight holes
of different sizes. The notes ran be
sounded, nnd musicians will now be
able to reconstruct the ancient Inter
vals of music.
This flute, or pipe, Is all ihe more
valuable, as it Is the only one which
has come down to us from antiquity.
