WHAT WILL PEXTH.ETON DO?
People cast aside the subjects of
forestry and tree planting m fit only
for (016011818 and departmental writ
ers. But in a few years what is Pendle
ton, Umatilla county. Union county,
Baker county and eastern Oregon go
ing to do for fuelT
This abstract, scientific subject of
reforestation comes vividly home to
us, when we think of this phase of
the subject! What will we do for
lumber, for fuel, for fencing in the
rear future
Where Is the supply to come from?
Who will plant for the future?
Who Is personally Interested In tree
planting?
Millions are Interested In cutting
down timber; millions are engaged
In destroying the magnificent forests.
But what a small proportion of those
who remove timber, think of replant
ing the d- nuded mountains?
Keallv, it is not an abstract, far
removed subject. It Is knocking at
our door, at Idaho's door, Utah's
"oor at the door of the nation!
It is all right for florid timber spec
ulators to paint In glowing terms the
nurat er of billions of feet of stand
ing timber in Oregon.
But how much higher will the price
of lumber and fuel soar In Oregon?
When will a larger supply of these
articles become available In Pendle
ton and Umatilla county?
How n any dwellings would b!
built In Pendleton this year, but for
the extortion of the lumber trust?
These are not glittering generalities.
They are tangible home Issues.
It is time that some active steps
were taken to reclaim the denuded
mountains. The deserts are being
ran'dly reclaimed. Shall not the
mountains be?
Umatilla county will be on the map
as long as the world stands.
It is not a temporary affair. Its
roads w ill be traveled, Its streams will
be crossed and its mountains travers
ed as long as men Inhabit the coun
ty. Does it not seem poor business man
agement to build temporary, inex
pensive county roads and bridges, as
though every year Is to be the last'
Is it not a most disastrous waste to
repair county roads and bridges In a
cheap manner, each summer, only to
have them washed out every spring?
This expensive system will drain
the substance from the county year
by year. The temporary repairs will
recome more and more costly and
permanent repairs will be rendered
almost impossible within a few years.
When the O. R. & N. company
found Its wooden bridges weakening
find washing out, what did the com
pany do? Build mere wooden
bridges?
Hardly. Several millions were in
vested In substantial steel bridges
which are invulnerable to floods and
washouts.
This Is the sort of economy which
pays. These steel bridges and this
permanent roadbed built at great cost
will last for all time.
So should Umatilla county do. Each
year the county court will be Justified
in installing one or two first-class
steel bridges, until finally every
stream and crossing Is equipped with
an imperishable improvement.
It will be a saving of money to do
his.
The taxpayer will be benefited by
the change of plans. If Umatilla
county expected to go out of busi
ness the cheap, but oft-repeated re
pairs would be permissible.
THE END,
If it must come, shall
die glltterlng-
I pray the end,
see
Love, like a banqueter,
ly
The flush of Life at floodtlde; not a
tear
Upon its face; within Its eyes no fear
Or faltering; In Its heart the lealty
That uncomplnlns because It was
to be;
On brave untrembllng lips a song of
cheer; '
Upon Its brow the feast's unwlthered
wealth
Of bloom, not falling petats; In Its
hands
A brimming cup, not less. Thus for
a while
We'll drain with clinging Hps one
Inst long health
To Yesterday! and soul to soul we'll
stand
A space then front the Silence
with a smile!
Maurice Smiley, In The Reader,
A DARREN IDEALITY.
Four years ago last Sepfembcr Wtn
fleld S. Stratton died. As a poor man
he was dubbed a crank. When a
fluke of fortune made him rich, he
was called peculiar. When he left the
bulk of his estate of $12,000,000 to
found a home for aged and Indigent
poor he became a noble philanthro
pist. But no one questioned his Judg
ment of men till after he died. Then
his administrators began to adminis
trate, and hired high-priced lnwyers
to defend the estate against claims
that other lawyers were hired to make
till the estate had dwindled down to
$0,000,000 (estimated). Still no work
men were set to work quarrying stone
for the foundations of tne home.
Meanwhile the very good died, and
the poor grew still more aged. Yet
the administrators continue to ad
ministrate, and the lawyers feed on
fees, and claimants still claim. With
the eye of faith, we may reach our
children, yet unborn, to view the no
ble edifice that exists only as a fig
ment of a dead man's brain and heart.
Last week, however, when one unfor
tunate died of starvation In Colorado
Springs, In plain view of the site of
the proposed home. It looked to our
carnal eyes like a barren Ideality.

Pendleton has Just done nobly by
her Commercial association. A debt
of $400 has Just been paid ty the
public for the gymnasium of the as
sociation. This Is an index to the
Pendleton spirit. Twice the Frazer
was filltd to overflowing with enthu
siastic Pendl"tonians who are loyal
to their Institutions. Another op
portunity will be given this loyal Pen
dleton nubile to show its enthusiasm
for another Pendleton Institution,
whe-n the public schools will present
'The Pixies" next Monday and Tues
day night. The fund raised By these
entertainments will be used for fram
ing the valuable pictures bought last
year by the women's clubs of the city.
This is in a good cause and deserves
the heartiest patronage of the public.
A new scheme to prevent pipes
from freezing consists in first cover-
lne the Dines with a thin layer of
straw, sawdust, tan bark, etc. Pieces
of unslaked lime as large as the fist
are packed around the pipes and en
veloped In another layer of some non
conducting material, straw, oakum or
cork, and the whole wrapped firmly
with some coarse fabric. The lime
will draw moisture from the air and
the materials surrounding It, and will
ko" warm through the chemical re
action. The outer covering prevents
too rapid slaking of the lime so that
one covering will last through a sea
son. For thawing pipes similar ar
rangement can be made but greater
heat Is generated by pouring water
on the lime. Blocks of ground can
also be thawed In this manner.

NEUTRALIZE EFFECT OF BURNS.
Chance led to the discovery of a
remedy which Instantly will cnuse
burns to cease from being painful and
also causes injured flesh to heal
speedily. Dr. Thierry, a physician In
the Paris Charity hospital, was In the
habit of using picric acid as an anti
septic, so that his hands were Im
pregnated with the solution. One
day In lighting a cigarette he dropped
a portion of the burning match in
his hand, but instead of feoling It he
noticed not the slightest pain. A
short time afterward, while scaling
letter some of the burning wax
stuck to his finger, and' though, It
cauterized the skin, he felt nothing.
He began a series of experiments In
healing burns with a saturated solu
tion of picric acid. All pain Instantly
was suppressed. After having bathed
a wound In a solution of this acid
blisters did not form and a cure was
effected after four or five days. The
only inconvenience was that the acid
colored" the skin yellow. But this is
rapidly remedied by , washing with
boric acid.

While Mercury and Potash may mask the disease In the system and
ver up the outward symptoms for awhile, they cannot cure Contagious
Blood Poison j when the treatment is left off, the disease will return worse
than before. Mercury and Potash eat out the delicate lining of the
stomach and bowels, produce chronic dyspepsia, cause the teeth to decay,
make sponpy, tender gums, affect the bones and nerves, and often cause
Mercurial Rheumatism, the most hopeless form of this disease. Thousands
have taken the mineral treatment faithfully for years to find, when ft was
left off, that the disease had only been smouldering in the system, and the
old symptoms of ulcerated mouth and throat, falling hair, copper-colored
spots, swollen glands, sores and ulcers, etc., would return in all their
hideousness, and they were no nearer a cure
than when they first commenced , the treat
ment. S. S. S. is the only certain, safe
and reliable treatment for Contagious
Blood Poison. It is the one medicine
that is able to go into the blood and cure
the disease permanently, and without in
jury to any part of the system. S. S. S.
ioes not cover up anything, but so completely removes the poison
that no trace of it is ever seen again. This medicine will also remove
any bad eflects left by previous mineral treatment. S. S. S. is made
entirely of roots, herbs and barks; we offer a reward of $l,ooo for
proof, that it contains a particle of mineral in any form. Write for our
home treatment book, and if you desire special medical advice, our physi
cians will Le glad to furnish it, as well as the book, free of charge.

Sl'CGESTION IN TEACHING.
In nc other sphere of life or activ
ity may the power of suggestion, or
mind Influence be used as profitably
and successfully as in teaching school.
Tbe teacher who suggests sunshine
and cheerfulness to the receptive
minds of children gives them a herit
age that cannot be taken away.
Children can be led much more
easily than forced. The healthful,
hopeful mind of a teacher may tact
fully yet surely lead the way through
difficulties where coercion and force
would miserably fall.
Py studying the minds of children
the thoughtful teacher may make his
own work easy and may see rapid
progress among the pupils. By using
the secret forces with which nature
has rtorcd the hearts and minds of
That Is a selfish and narrow old
principle which provides that the cap
ital of the state shall be the home
of all state institutions. No state
should be handicapped by such an
ironclad prejudice. Is it not a crime
to force the Insane people of Oregon
to live arbitrarily In the Willamette
vallfy when a few months of eastern
sunshine might mean sanity, health,
renewed strength, liberty and useful
lives to many of them? Shouldn't
some measure of common sense be
used In government as In private business?
No man can stand absolutely alone
in the world. Every man, no matter
how independent, leans In a certain
sens'., upon his associates and upon
the community. Some of the best
things that we do are actuated by
borrowed suggestions from others.
