Ella Wheeler Wilcox In New Thought. GREATER PENDLETON. Pendleton will be able to rise up, like R freed bird, and spread her wings In a new era of development and mu nicipal life, under the provisions cf the new charter which has been draft ed by the city attorney and city council. a At present expansion Is almost Im possible because of the restrictions placed upon the city by the old char ter. Of course it has served a good purpose while the city was In the growing and formative period. But Pendleton is now at a period In her growth where she must do a number of big things which will cost money. In order to do these things, she must have Increased financial resources, the limit of Indebtedness must be raised, as the cUy is growing and Increasing in wealth. A city hall Is absolutely necessary. Levt-e Improvements are Imperative. Enlarged sewer facilities must come w ithin a short time as the settlements reach out from hill to hill. A gravity system of water is the .only solution of the city water problem and all these increased and enlarged utilities cost money. The property owners of Pendleton are outstripping the. municipality In the way of progress The excellent business blocks, the paved streets, the extensive business Institutions which are maintained in Pendleton deserve better municipal facilities to be In keeping with private enterprise. The property owners and citizens of Pendleton are entitled to a beauti ful, comfortabje city hall In which the people may take personal pride. Health and comfort and public safety demand better sewers, better levee and better water supply. The public utilities are not in keep ing with the splendid oommerc'al life of Pendleton. The new charter wisely provides a safe limit for a tax levy In making the maximum 9 mills, with 2 ad ditional for streets. This will safe guard property interests against ex cessive taxation. Now let the charter provide for every possible cent of rev enue from licenses, and by taxes on franchises, and the question of taxa tion will never stand In the way or Improvements. When the charter convention Is call ed by the city council, every property owner and every citizen In Pendleton should attend and take part In the dis cussions. Self-government Is the sweet est morsel which free government gives to the citizen and the best part of self-government Is that every hum ble citizen has an equal share In the reBponpihillty and labor of making a charter which will be best for the homes, best for the business Institu tions, best for the city of "Pendleton. LET US PULL FOK A GREATER PENDLETON. H.VKIU.MAVS REVENGE. Hnrriinun In taking revenge upon President Roosevelt for the president's unfaltering determination to bilng the Harrlman crowd to Justice, has done more to nominate Roosevelt for the third term "than all other forces com bined. Hurrlman has already mado the nominating speech for his arch-enemy. It Is all over now but the shouting. Harrlman Is a gambler at heart apd all his big coups are made with a wntp end a cry of alarm and this sensational attack upon Roosevelt Is mad In te'n tpylcal way. Harrlman expected to simply crush Roosevelt out of existence' by this startling ex posure, which many people believe Is a premeditated and concocted false hood, as Roosevelt says It Is. Hnrrtmnn was forced to do some thing desperate to save himself from utter ruin and so this was the trump card which he and his gambling crowd had up thi lr sleeve to use In an emer gency. Harrlman being a lawbreaker and on trial for repeated violation of the lnv, will not be credited with much sincerity In his furious attack upon the president under the circumstances. The people will prefer to believe Roosevelt on general principles, al thnugh the president mny have been over-zealous In the campaign of 1904. Harrlman's attack Is so plainly one of revenge that It will create wide spread sympathy for the president, and will only redouble the public senti ment whlt?h demands that Harrlman and his type of financial anarchists be checked In their careers of law viola tion. The people are with the president In his zealous crusade against the Wall street manipulators who are attempt ing to bring a panic In order to dis credit the Roosevelt administration. Harrlman's sensational and furious coup will only make his crimes all the more prominent and will magnify the necessity for government owner ship of railroads In order to eradicate such dangerous and violent Influences In government as Harrlman and his Ilk have proved to be. There Is absolutely no other satis factory way in which to make the country free from the dangerous in fluences of speculators than by mak ing the big utilities, In which the ruin ous speculation is carried on, the prop erty of the people. BETTER QUARTERS NEEDED. Pendleton Commercial association can afford more convenient and acces sible quarters than It now occupies and one of the achievements of the present administration of the associ ation should be to remodel the stair way leading to the rooms. To those who are familiar with the location and surroundings of the pres ent quarters, the narrow and dark stairway does not seem forbidding, but to the stranger who Is seeking out the location of the association, the out look must be discouraging from the entrance to the stair. The stairway should be widened, painted and remodeled so It would be Inviting. . The association is an im portant factor In the life of the city and It should breath something of the progress and buoyant spirit which It has infused Into the city. One of the biggest events of the sea son from the intellectual standpoint, I., to take place In Pendleton on April 15, when United States Senator La Follette of Wisconsin, lectures here. The attention of the people of Uma tilla county Is called to the leisure of Senator La Follette. During the past few years this fearless man has leaped Into prominence by virtue of his fight upon the arrogant corpora tions and his coming to Pendleton U really a memorable event in the h's tory of the city. The lecture bureau if to be congratulated for offering such valuable attractions and the Christian church should be filled to overflowing on that occasion. There are really nS vital Issues on which the people should be divided today, in the United States, and were it not for the continual agitation of office-seeking politicians, the bitter ness of political warfare would die out and be forgotten. Office-seeking men have no other occupation yian that vt making people believe that they should be divided on imaginary Issues. Inde pendence among voters Is eating away the vitals of the professional politic ian. Portland has Just raised the sum of 1355,000 for a Y. M. C. A. building, after one of the most stirring cam paigns for money In the history of the city. The public was simply hypno tized Into giving. There Is no other word which expresses It so well. About $2 per capita for every man, woman and child In this city is repre sented in this magnificent gift to the Y. M. C. A. HOW ANIMALS BLUSH. Animals blush as girls do, but It Is fear and not modesty that In their case causes the InruHh of blood. Horses blush In their ears, especial ly In the left car. When a hors Is frightened its left ear will bo found very hot and swollen. This is also true of rabbits. Cows and all other cloven-footed animals blush Just above the fetlock. Dogs blush In their tails. When a dnpj Is fritrlitened its tall blushes so that It hangs limp, the dog having absolutely no control over It. Insects blush In their antennae. Yakima hns gotten so far( along !n the development of crlmlnnusness that a patrol wagon and police de partment will be added to the system cf local government. WHO ARE ANCESTORS OF OREGONIANS. Mrs. Eva Emery Dye, author of those de'lghtful bocks, "The Con quest," "McLaughlin and Old Ore gon," has Just written a fascinating short article on the ancestry of Ore gonlana for the School andTIome, a school Journal published by Portland nubile schools. Every school teacher and pupil of the schools of Oregon should be In terested In the suggestions contained In Mrs. Dye's urticle and the East Orugonlnn takes pleasure In repro ducing It in hopes that it may start a new historical Inquiry at every fire side In the state. The article Is as follows: I have been wondering whether any more valuable literary exercise could be given to u boy or girl, or class or school, than the simple one "f writing the history of one's own family. Pome years ago a distinguished ed itor visiting Ortgon asked a pretty girl where her parents come from. Although well grown, she had no Idea whatever. "We always lived in Oregon," she replied: Is there nny worse provincialism? Pev,- are the years since white peo ple came to Oregon, fewer yet since the majority of those here present cnm. Wc are from every state and frcm almost every country. . The story is of Infinite Interest and every child will delight in the long lnT t:mate converse with father or moth er relative as tc that other home they once occupied. Montana, Michigan, Massachusetts or Maine: Oregon, Iowa, Ohio. Connecticut; Missouri. Kentucky, Virginia: so east und west run the migratory lines, following the parallels of latitude. Now and thon one halls from far off Texas, or Tennessee, or Florldn, coming tack perchance to tho trend of their fathers. The descriptions of those homes In other state, the per sonal history of fathers and grand fathers, their p.irt In national events, wars, foundings of cities, openings of railroads, or the navigation of lakes and oceans, ojens up unguesscd pos sibilities. Not a family exists that has not rolled up In its world pil grimage a story of surpassing inter est. We of Ao'srlca have been content to be our own ancestors. Earl or pcasan. have been alike to us, and yet it is interesting to know what lines of blood are crossed In us of today. Without a question we are all l elated; a hundred, or five hundred years ago, your father and mine wtre hi others In srme' German vil lage, or our mothers were sisters In tone obscure English hamlet. The record Is lost, but the student of his- U rytan trace Ms cwn wild love of venture to the vlkli cs of the north or to the children at Israel freeing from Egypt to wander for 40 years In the wilderness. This personal touch makes history, enchanting. . HUMORS in the BLOOD Coming of Warm Weather Forces Them Out, Causing Itching, Burning Skin Eruptions. The blood and skin are so closely connected that whatever affects the one has a corres. ponding effect on the other. When the blood is pure and healthy the skin will be soft, smooth, and free from all eruptions.; but when the blood becomes infected with some unhealthy humor the effect is shown by rashes, eruptions, boils and pimples, or other disfig uring and annoying skin disease. The skin is provided with countless pores and glands which act as a drainage system to rid the body of impurities through the perspiration that is constantly passing through these little tubes. There are other glands that pour out on the skin an oily substance to keep it soft and pliable, otherwise it would become hard and dry from constant exposure to wind and sun. When the blood becomes filled with humors and acids these are thrown off through the pores 'and glands, burning and irritating the skin and drying up the natural oils so that we have not only Acne, Eczema, Salt Rheum, etc., but such dry scaly skin eruptions as Tetter, Psoriasis and kindred troubles. - I hese humors hnd their way into the blood through a disordered or deranged con dition of the system. There is a certain amount of waste or refuse matter collected in the body every day. This is useless in nourishing or keeping the system in health, and nature intends that it shall find an out let through the channels of bodily waste. As long as these members perform their duties properly the blood remains pure and free from infection; but when from any cause they become dull and sluggish, this refuse matter is left to sour and be taken into the blood in the form of humors and poisons. The skin is a perfect index to the blood; when we see one afflicted with a skin dis ease, or pimples, rashes, eruptions, blotches, etc., constantly appearing, we know that down deep in the blood a humor has taken root, and instead of supplying nourishment and strength to the fine, delicate tissues of the skin, it is pouring out its acid and unhealthy accumulations. The skin is not only affected by the humors generated within the system, but poisons from without, such as Poison Oak and Ivy, Nettle Rash, etc., as well as poisons from metals, acids, etc., enter through the open pores and glands, and so thoroughly do they take root in the blood that they are ever present, or return from year to year to annoy the sufferer. The treatment of skin diseases with salves, washes, lotions, etc., is along the wrong line. True such treatment relieves some of the itching and discomfort, and aids in keeping the skin clean, but.it does not reach the real cause of the trouble, and at best such things are onlv oalliative and soothinp- owowo PURELY VEGETABLE blood the fresh, nutritive qualities necessary to sustain the skin and all other parts of the body, and rids the blood of any and all poisons.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox QUITE A VALUARLE DOG. One .if the chief, duties of City Marshal Glbscn of Salem Is to col lect the annual dog license, and he sometimes meets with queer and amusing experiences, and then oth ers not so pleasant. Of this latter he cites a case thnt came up the oth er day. The marshal stopped at a certain ploce where a dog was kept. f A O A thorough cleansing of the blood is the only cure for humors in the blood. S. S. S., a gentle acting, safe blood purifier, made entirely of vegetable ingredients from nature's forests and" fields, is the proper treatment. S. S. S. goes down into the circulation and neutralizes the acids and humors, thoroughly cleansing and purifying the blood, and curing skin diseases and affections of every kind. It supplies to the and the woman of the house opened the door when ho rang. "Please tell your husband," said the marshal, "that he will have to pay $3 license on that dog." ' "What!" exclaimed tho surprised woma.i. "Thrco dollars? Why, that's more than he paid for the marriage license to get me'" "Well," said the marshal, absent mindedly, aa he sized up the canine, "this Is a pretty valuable animal." And ho cannot yet Imagine what caused the woman to slam the door In his face.
