UNION J.BEi
Nature never rests nor shirks.
Every wheel nnj spindle
works
Every throbbing thing of life
Stands, a fighter In the strife.
Looking up into God's eyes
Beaming softly from the skies
Do you feel no thrill of power
Flnsh through bruin and hand
that hour?
As you feel his pulses heat
In the clods beneath your feet.
Leaps no daring to your heart?
Know you not your kingly part?
Bert Huffman.
THE HOPE OF PENDLETON.
If the Umatilla river were running
through one of the New England
states It would be thickly studded
from end to end with manufacturing
enterprises.
Between Bingham Springs and
Pendleton, a distance of 21 miles, the
fall of the river Is over 35 feet per
mile or a total of "00 feet In that
distance.
Above Bingham Springs for 16
miles the fall Is much heavier and a
large number of excellent power sites
exist. Sufficient power could be gen
erated on the river between this city
and the head of the river to build up
a manufacturing center equal to any
In New England, If capital could be
Induced to take hold of the waiting
opportunities here.
This magnificent stream flows
through the finest wheat and wool
section In the world. Its tributary ter
ritory is absolutely without a peer as
a producer of raw material and yet
but little of It an Insignificant
amount. Is manufactured here.
Instead of having one of the small
est woolen mills In the state, Pendle
ton should ha-o the largest. Instead
of two flouring mills, there should be
half a dozen here, as the market for
flour is absolutely beyond the capac
ity of the present number of mills on
the coast. Instead of shipping in fin
ished structural Iron and building ma
terial she should be shipping out
'large quantities.
THE BEST INVESTMENT THE
CITY COULD MAKE, IN THE OPIN
ION OF THE EAST OREGONIAN. IN
WAY OF DEVELOPING THE COUN
TRY, WOtJTLD BE TO PAY SOME
SUBSTANTIAL, TRUSTWORTHY
CITIZEN FOR A YEAR'S WORK
AMONG EASTERN CAPITALISTS
TALKING OF THE OPPORTUNITIES
IN THIS CITY.
Pendleton needs and must have a
pay roll. The opportunity for manu
facturing establishments Is here and If
capital were made to know the extent
and character of these opportunities.
It would be but a short time until
all the available raw material produc
ed in the county could be manufactur
ed into finished products and Pendle
ton would be one of the chief export
ing points on the coast.
It may seem tiresome to some, for
the newspapers to be talking of these
subjects continually, but how else are
we to build up the city? The farm
ing lands are being concentrated Into
fewer hands each year, the price of
-farming land Is almost prohibitive, on
account of Its excellent quality and
the excellence of the climate and crop
conditions. We cannot force the large
holders to sell to homeseekers, and
se the only hope of Increased settle
ment and Increased business Is In the
establishment of manufacturing plants
and In the development of the arid
lands. - ii4fel
With so many homeseekers and cap
italists seeking locations In the west,
It seems that Pendleton should receive
her share. If the facts about this
country were known In the east, It
would be but a short time until cap
ital turned this way.
The growth of the La Follette Idea
of republicanism will crowd out the
Fponn-r Idea wherever the two ex
tremes meet. La Follette stands for
progress, advancement, reform
wherever necessary for the good of
the people, for popular government,
healthful majority rule and everything
which Is uplifting and enlightening,
while Spooner la a typical representa
tive of the dying aristocracy of the
senate, machine rule, machine poll
tics, ultra-consorvatism and everything
that Is out of date and antiquated. It
U natural that he should retire from
the senate In the faco of the growing
popularity of La Follette.
THE CTltSE OF OREGON.
While the substantial and bona
fklc business Interests of Oregon are
Inviting homeseekers and capitalists
Into the state to take advantage of Its
rich opportunities, a few' miserable
grafters sit In favored places to rob
the unwary and get something for
nothing from deserving people who
are in search of homes.
A wrong which the East Oregonlan
has complained of many times In the
past Is now reaching a climax In
central Oregon. The large land com
panies which are reclaiming land
under the Carey act have bilked set
tlers by selling lands that were not
actually reclaimed and that can never
be reclaimed with the amount of
water owned by the companies.
The advertisements of these lnnds
were misleading, dishonest and crim
inal and thousands of people have
been Induced through them, to Invest
in arid land In hopes of seeing It re
claimed as promised.
Driven to desperation by the fail
ure of the company to "make good,"
settlers on the Columbia Southern Ir
rigation company's tracts have de
manded the return of their money on
the ground that the land is insufflc-
! lently Irrigated.
The company has sold land to the
amount of several hundred thousand
dollars and settlers have waited for
the promised water until they are now
desperate.
The state Is back of these schemes.
The companies have used
the credit
of the state to Induce homrseekers to
go Into central Oregon and now the
state must recover the money taken
from these Innocent purchasers, by
the criminal company.
RAILROADS FOR UMATILLA.
Within the past month the East
Oregonlan has announced that pre
liminary steps on two railroad exten
sions are being taken In Umatilla
county one a branch from this city
Into the foothill district south Into the
Tutullla wheat belt, and one from the
Columbia river into the Cold Springs
wheat belt.
Both these projects are feasible and
probable, and will add from 10 to 20
percent to the value of property In
the sections of the county affected.
Aside from these projected exten
hIoils a:i t-kcuio lino from Frecwater
southwest toward Athena, Weston and
Pendleton Is almost a certainty within
a few years. The line now constructed
to Freewater will nut stop there.
While portions of the county are
now Inadequately supplied with trans
portation, It will be but a short time
until branch lines will penetrate Into
every section which produces anything
worth going after.
Really, the best era Is Just dawn
ing. Pendleton public schools are writ
ing 1000 letters to Intending home
seekers In the east and It Is hoped
that the seed thus sown will ripen Into
as rich and bountiful fruitage as have
other worthy projects of Pendleton's
excellent schools.
Provision for a gravity system of
city water must not be left out of
Pendleton's new charter.
M ELBA'S VOICE PAYS HER WELL
Mme. Melba is the highest priced
singer in the world and one of the
wealthiest women In the public eye.
For every performance at the
Manhattan opera house she receives
M000. Half of the amount of the
salary she draws from Mr. Hammer-
stel.i for this entire season was de
posited with her bankers In London
before she sailed for America. The
rest Is paid her 12000 at a time the
omrnlng after each New York ap
pearance and deposited with her lo
cal bankers. There Is absolutely no
reduction or concession to agents In
this $4000.
In addition to singing once every
week and sometimes twice, at the
Manhattan, Melba gives at least two
concerts n week, for each one of
which a $5000 house Is guaranteed,
her foe being 50 per cent of the pro
ceeds. Th- highest price she ever re
ceived for singing was $13,300, which
she was paid once for a single con
cert In Sydney. This forms a f.trlklng
-ontrast to the sum of $15 a night she
drew at the outset of her career In
her native country. She has recent
ly received an offer of $5000 a per
formance for a tour In South Am
erica.

A correspondent from Payette,
Idu., writes as follows to the Boise
Statesman of u model farm to be es
tablished near there:
A. E. Wood, the pioneer real es
tate man if Payette, is going to have
a model farm In the Payette valley.
He ordered more than 4500 fruit
ttees, which, when set out, will make
one of the largest orchards In the
valley. He has long studied frult-
c rowing and different phases of
firming and In his real estate busi
ness has hnd much to do with se
lecting fruit which has been taken
from this valley for exhibition pur
poses, ai.d lie Is now going to plant
his ideal orchard, fully 200 trees of
which will be of special exhibilion
varieties.
His land, of which there are 360
acres, la In Crystal bottom, about
s'x miles north of Payette. The site
selected by Mr. Wood has been pro
nounced by prominent fruit men as
an exceptionally good location for
the orchard he Intends to plant. It
Is near the mouth of Sand Hollow,
whe'c the soli has been washed
down from the hills and Is at least 10
feet deep and very rich.
Mr. Woods Is also going to plant
five acres In orchard which will get
it moisture by sub-irrlgfitlon. If the
t-ves thrive this vear, he says that
next season he will plant an orcharc
that will cover 125 acres. This ex
nerlment will he made on alluvial
sandy soil.

scheme Is to make '.he storage

is that melons can be produced In

earlier than th-y are now being pro

Great Interest Shown in the
Big Piano Sale.
One more beautiful piano has gone
to a Pendleton home to make the
home happy and help educate the
girls. This big sale of Eilers Is going
to prove a big success and no wonder,
for the prices and terms on the pianos
being sold are bound to attract cus
tomers. One beautiful Kimball was
disposed of last night. Any one who
misses this opportunity to secure a
fine piano will always regret It. Do
not let anyone talk you out of coming
down and at least convincing yourself
that this is the opoprtune time to
purchase. Everything we have In the
house will be sold at greatly reduced
prices and on greatly reduced terms.
Your child needs a piano, You have
promised It to her. Why not buy now?
You cannot afford to overlook this
opportunity, only 28 more days In
which to purchase. You had better
select the piano now while our stock
Is so beautiful and complete.

HEUMATISM
AN ACID BLOOD POISON
Rheumatism is an acid blood poison, and the causes that produce It are
often silently accumulating in the system for years. Poor digestion,
stomach troubles, weak kidneys, torpid liver, and a general Inactive condi
tion of the system leaves the refuse and waste matter, which should be
carried off. to sour and form uric acid, which is absorbed into the blood.
When the blood is in this acid-charged condition, it deposits the poisons
and irritating particles with which it is loaded in the muscles, nerves,
joints and bones. Then Rheumatism gets possession of the system, and
life is made miserable by its pains, aches and discomforts. The changing
of the weather, exoosure to cold and dampness, etc.. always Increase the
