claaa matter.
'Twas the voice of a brick in a
building high,
A brick of the lower tier:
"Behold my brothers mount up
to the sky
And leave me forgotten here.
But I hold my place and I bide
my time,
That must come to the great
and small;
And though I be lost in the dirt
and the grime,
I'm the hope of the whole
high wall.
"It Is on my shoulders they up-
ward mount
To their place in the sunlight
fair,
And though far below them I
still account
Myself with the highest there.
For the law that governs I un-
derstand,
And the law of the world to
be;
It Is this: We are all as one in
the land,
As the drops are all one in
the sea."
Charles Eugene Banks.
AFRAID OF INVESTIGATION?
Samuel Connell, president of the
Municipal association of Portland, ex
presses the belief that an lnvestlga
tlon of the municipal affairs of Port
land, such as is now being made in San
Francisco, would be extremely unfor
tudate at this time.
He shrinks from the thought of the
lime light, as it were.
He says that San Francisco will not
"recover from the present investiga
tion for many years."
There are a few rascals who will not
and should never recover, but the city
of San Francisco will arise in dignity
and renewed strength from the Inves.
tigation. Capital will not be afraid
of investment, homeseekers will feel
secure and industry will forge ahead
feeling safe In the keeping of a strong
er, more honorable citizenship.
The Municipal asosclatldn of Port
land shvuld court such an Investiga
tion. If there is any fear of such an
investigation, that makes it all the
more necessary to Investigate.
A GIRL BAFFLES HENEY,
Francis J. Heney, who haB sent con
gressmen, United States senators, gov
ernment ofifclals and prominent cltl
zens to Jail for fraud and corrupt'on
In the post few years. Is being baffled
by a slip of a girl In his Investigation
of the municipal frauds of San Fran
cisco.
Nellie Smith, a stenographer for
the Home. Telephone company, who
Is but a delicate maiden, weighing
less than 100 pounds, knows the In
ner secrets of the bribery of the su
pervisors by the telephone company
the money passed in her presence, she
wrote letters concerning the amounts
each supervisor was to receive and Is
In possession of all the vital facts
needed by the prosecutor and yet his
artful methods have failed to wring
the needed information from her.
Threats, pleading, questioning, even
tears, it is said, have availed nothing
and the key of the situation Is still
locked up In the bosom of this slip
of a girl who refuses to betray the
company which employed her.
She Is not accused of any part in
the crooked transactions, but she
knows all about them and for the
precious secrets confined In her
haughty little head, Heney would give
a large slice of his reputation Just at
this critical time.
She says she wishes to see every
guilty man In San Francisco punish
ed, but she maintains that It would
be highly unprofessional for her to
betray the secrets of her employer,
and she prefers to face an Indictment
rather than bear the shame of divulg
ing secrets confided to her as a sten
ographer. CLIMATE NOT CHANGING.
The people of Umatilla county have
flattered themselves for a number of
years that the climate Is changing
somewhat, for the better; that the
rainfall In the western portion of the
county Is slightly Increasing; that
providence has really given a passing
mile to the sagebrush and and des-
crts and that with the able co-oper-allon
of deep plowing and butter cul
tivation, the light lands will be made
as valuable as the heavier wheat lands
In the wheat belt.
Prof. Willis Moore, chief of the
United States weather bureau, says
that providence has taken no part In
the change. He says thnt the climate
upon the Umatilla plains is todny Just
exactly like It was when the mist
which concealed the birth-throes of
these plains rolled away, and the sun
smiled first upon them, aeons ago.
Prof. Moore quotes from a trans
cript of his examination, which dls
clnsps that he was asked if there was
to be any recurrence of dry years in
the semi-arid regions, and the gist of
It is, that the climate Is not changing,
but is moving In cycles, not of regular
extent so that it Is impossible to fore
cast accurately what the weather will
be 10 or 20 years from now but on
a general scientific principle so that
It is possible to predict in a general
way that dry seasons will be follow
ed by wet and the average of any
given period, say of 30 or 40 years, be
approximately the same.
To prove this point. Prof. Moore
has compiled a table of the mean
rainfall of 10 stations In Kansas, Ne
braska, Missouri and Iowa for 80
ears, between 1877 and 1906, showing
th.it there Is practically no difference
between the rainfall of the first 10
years and the last 10 years.
These figures show clearly that the
rainfall has neither Increased nor di
minished by amounts worthy of con
sideration. The statement has been
made that the winds are diminishing,
Prof. Moore states: "An examination
of the wind records In Kansas and
Nebraska shows that the last IB years
have not been quite as windy as the
5 years previous, and this Is especial
ly true of the years 19oi, 1905 and
1906. It is safe to assume, however,
that a permanent decrease In the wind
velocity has taken place."
So after all, it is the increasing
eficlency of the human hand In Uma
tilla county which is bringing better
wheat yields upon the once arid lands.
Instead of changing climate Jt Is
deep plowing and frequent cultivation
which Is bringing better returns. In
stead of waiting for the action of na
ture to Increase the value of the land,
that power lies In reach of the owner
of the land.
Set the plow deeper.
Another glory is added to the crown
of Pendleton by the invasion of San
Francisco markets by Ptndleto.i flour
n quantities sufficient to absolutely
control the situation. Pondleton In
Man robes, Pendleton wheat, Pendle
ton wool .Pendleton photographs have
already made enviable conquests In
every part of the world. Pendleton
flour Is a strong and lusty member of
this redoubtable team of Industries.
Every town and city of any Im
portance In the west is abolishing
boxes and music in restaurants and
saloons, raising saloon licenses and
driving out the gambling houses.
Soon there will be no place for Im
morality in any of the reputable towns
of the Pacific coast. The country is
outgrowing these things.
HINDU EPIGRAMS.
Time wakes when others sleep;
T'.me no one may escape; without
rest and with even pace Time strides
ever all creatures.
Man's life Is measured by a hun
dred years; half of these are passed
In sleep, half the remainder in child
hood and old age, and what are left
we fulful amid disease, separations,
pain and servitude. How can a man
take pleasure In a life that resembles
the bubble on a. wave
To love those who love you not, to
shun those who love you, to make an
enemy of the strong this is to be a
fool.
Not to begin an undertaking Is the
first sign of wisdom, and the second
is to complete what has been begun,
He who sits after eating gets
pain; he who sleeps after eating gets
comfort; he who walks after eating
gets health; he who runs after eating
runs to his death.
What a man desires and strives
for, that he always obtains, unless In
weariness he relaxes.
For five years a man shall treat
his son as a prince, for ten years as
a slave: hut whn a son reaches his
slvteenth year, then shall a man treat
him as a friend.
Under good fortune tho heart of
the great Is as soft aa a lotus bloom;
under 111 fortune, as hard as the

Serklng for ArtreHan Water.
After spending J6000 and more than
one year in drilling an artesian well
to obtain a flow of water, the Betz
Brewing company has found a spring
near the well which promises to pro
vide an ample supply for the use of
the company, says the Walla Walla
Ktatesman, Its discovery was made by
workmen excavating for the city sew
er. The stream of water running In
to the excavation is of fair size. An
effort will be made to discover Its
source. The artesian well was sunk a
depth of 1010 feet. It waa piped to
the bottom. The stream which Issues
from It Is small and would not be a
drop In the bucket to what the com
pany requires for its use..

UNIVERSAL HOPE.
The humble man out yonder who is
working In the ditch
Has the hope within him hidden that
some day he may be rich;
He has done no wise Investing, he has
earned no man's regard;
He has wasted precious moments
when he should have studied
hard;
But, forgetting all the seasons that so
foolishly were spent,
He keeps hoping he may profit
through some lucky accident.
The faded maiden, ' stitching as the
mirthless moments pass;
When the long, day's work is ended
stands with hope before her
glass;
Youth and beauty Bhe may never
claim again beneath the skies,
There are wrinkles radiating from her
dulled and weary eyes;
But within her bosom always an up
lilting hope Is pent;
He and Bhe may meet tomorrow
through some lucky accident.
You have sought to win such honors
as the world gives to the great,
But your efforts have been fruitless;
still you labor and you wait;
have builded Spanish castles; I
have longed to win applause
For heroic demonstrations in some
splendid, thrilling caust;
And wo plod along, still hoping that
the grim fates may relent.
Each expectant and each waiting for
the lucky accident.
S. E. Kiser.
ANY FUTURE LIFE FOR BEASTS!
We answer: John Wesley, the foun
der of Methodism, thought there
was. So did those eminent Chistlan
bishops. Jeremv Taylor and Bishop
Hutler. Coleridge advocated It In
Fngland, Lamurtlne In France, and
Agassiz in America. Agassiz, the
great scientist and a man of pro
found religious convictions, ' was a
firm believer in some future life for
the lower animals. A professor of
Harvard University has compiled a
list of one hundred and eighty-five
European authors who have written
on thp subject. Many years ago

York society about a hundred and fif
ty thousand dollars. Relatives con
tested the will on the ground that he

future life for animals. The Judge.

thnt. more than half the human race
believed that same thing. Our
Dumb Animals. .
A Presbyterian minister In Massa
chusetts not many years ago wrote
and published a pamphlet entitled
Where Is My Dog?" in which he
argued from Scriptural premises the
claim th.1t other animals than man
have the Immortal counterpart
commonly called the soul.
JOnN D.'S CONSCIENCE FUND.
Yes, we are perfectly placid. We
knew It as soon as you did. John D.
Rockefeller Is going to pay another
installment of his conscience fund In
the shape of some outrageous number
of millions to the city of New York,
and a still more Immoral wad to the
cause of education throughout the
country. True, and what of it? This
Isn't the first time John has tried to
anoint the head of the goddess of
learning with oil, and twist the for
mula of the parafflne series Into a lit
any ot praise for the king of kero
sene forevermore. And It won't be
the last. As long as he lives John
will probably be trying to get some
gentleman's agreement with educa
tion, with degrees granted only to bald
heads and special drawbacks for those
who know the ritual of rebates. But
It doesn't worry us a little bit, because,
you see, among the very few things
which we really know is that John
will not succeed. Denver News.
PREFER FEDERAL CONTROL.
E. H. Harriman, President Stick'
ney of the Great Western and other
prominent railroad executives are
quoted a saying that they would
prefer that their roads be brought
under the 'control of congress rather
than to be subject to the legislation
of the several states, says a Chicago
dispatch.
It need but a glance at the list of
railroad measure passed In the va
rious states during the last six
months or so to show that there is
good reason for this preference on
the part of the railroad officials.
Congress In response to the popular
agitation, commenced the crusade for
legislative regulation of railroad
two years ago, but it Is doubtful If
even the most far-seeing statesman
dreamed then of the length to which
the crusade would be pushed by the
states.
While ltr. Levi Jctt, wlfo of a
cousin of Curtis .Tett, tho notorious
feudist, was carrying her baby In her
arms at her home at Ashland, Ky.
he toppled and fell dead. The baby
fell Into a boiler of scalding water
and was literally cooked to death.

Those of Indian Territory, the five
clvilezed tribes Cherokces, Creeks,
Choctaws and Semlnoles have been
managing their own affairs for two
thirds of a century, and are In all re

they are soon to exercise. All of
these, and nearly all of those In the
Oklahoma end of the coming state,
wear civilized dress, and have
schools, churches and the other ac
companiments of civilization.
Of the 1:13,000 Indians outside of
Indian Territory, 116,000 wear civiliz
ed dress, 70,000 speak the language,
and 38,000 are members of regular

CUBAN SADDLE HORSES.
Like all Spanish countries, Cuba Is
famous for Its saddle horses. They
are chiefly of Andaluslan breed and
Arab origin, and are trained to what
is cauued "el paseo del trote," a sort
of single-foot gait, which Is very
graceful to the animal and easy for
the rider. I Haw no women on horse
back. Several American women in
town and the wives and daughters of
officers at the American military
camp are accustomed to the saddle,
but Spanish women seldof ride for
