WILL XOT MAKE HIGH TAXES.
The principal objection of a num
ber of heavy taxpayers to the propos
d bond issue for city Improvements,
Is that It will greatly Increase taxes.
Let us see. If all the proposed
amendments asked for by the city
council are adopted, and the bonds
are Issued as requested, for refund
ing street and levee warrants, for
sewer extension, for street Improve
ments, and for city hall, the total
bonded Indebtedness of the city will
be but $227,000, exclusive of the
water bonds, which will be amply
taken care of by the Income from the
water department.
The Increase In liquor licenses alone,
will amount to $8650 per annum, or
$350 each on 25 saloons, after the
new license ordinance goes Into effect
-on June 1. This sum will be suffi
cient to pay Interest on $173,000 In
bonds at 5 per cent, leaving but $54,
000 additional to be met with in
creased taxation.
The assessed value of all taxable
property In the city limits Is now
$1,600,000 on a one-third valuation.
The full cash value of this property
Is $4,800,000. Is It. cause for alarm
to build a city hall to cost $40,000,
Improve the Btreets, extend the sewer
system and extend and strengthen the
levee, all of which will lave but $54,
000 in bonds to be met by the taxa
tion of property valued at almost 16,
000,000? There can be no objection to add
ing all of the proposed Improvehents
atked for by the city council, when
the Increase In taxes will be so In
significant. The levee must be re
paired and extended, the sewer must
be extended, a city hall Is needed,
street improvements are needed and
every citizen who spoke last night said
emphatically that the gravity water
system must be secured.
The people ore willing to pay for
needed Improvements. Nothing of
value can be secured without cost, and
Pendleton cannot afford to hesitate to
add these vital Improvements where
the outlay In taxation Is so slight.
Let us keep on mov'ng forward. We
have set the pace. Who would turn
back?
BUILD IP RIVER TRAFFIC.
It Is now almost certain that one
portion of the railroad lobby at
Washington will find itself out of a
Job when the next session convenes.
That lobby has long been active In
holding up every proposition looking
tr. the improvement of Internal water
ways. The reason was plain. Not
only would the waterways, Intelligent
ly managed, handle a good portion of
the freight which would otherwise be
ccrrled by rail, but they would, by
their competition, furnish an auto
matic measure of Just and profitable
freight rates.
Wherefore, they were fought to the
death: nnd today the country which
has a river system second only to that
of South America, carries almost Its
entire freight by land.
But there has been a notable change
of temper on the part of most of the
railroad magnates. The business of
the country has outgrown the railway
capacity; and It Is manifestly better
for the freight to he tarried by. river
than not at all. And almost as potent
Is the "epidemic," as one wrathful
flnnnilcr put it, of railway legislation.
It Is certain that the roads will no
longer be permitted to go their way,
making rates by Instinct. There Is
going to be some check on extortion,
and the managers are Inclined - to
think that perhaps the natural check
will be the best.
Now Is the time for the champions
of the inland waterways to gather
their legions for the fight. And they
arc well aware of this. The Deep
Waterway association, whose demand
i for a 14-foot channel from the
Great Lakes to the gulf, are planning
to deluge the next congress with peti
tions and literature. Their lead Is
being followed by commercial organ
izations all through the middle west;
and It is pretty certain that they will
be able to make the' congressmen see
the writing on the wall.
If so, we shall have no more of the
strange situation of overworked rail
roads and overcharged communities,
while 50 navigable rivers are almost
as barren of life as wheti the white
man first saw them.
THE FACTIONAL POISON.
The bitterness of factionalism In
politics was Illustrated vividly by the
visit of Senator Robert M. La Follette,
to this city this week.
In Pendleton are a number of for
mer Wisconsin people, some of them
at one time prominent In politics in
the Badger state. A number of them
belonged to the "Stalwarts" or Spoon
er faction which was bitterly opposed
to La Follette In his campaign of re
form which has finally triumphed in
the state.
While La Follette Is now a promi
nent national figure, he has triumphed
with the people of Wisconsin Is al
most every battle he has fought, and
while he came here to tell without
passion or prejudice, the story of
congressional corruption, yet these
faithful "Stalwarts" staid at home,
and would not meet the man who con
quered In Wisconsin.
Life Is too short for such factional
bitterness In politics, society or relig
ion. Right Is right. Men are entitled
to their choice of leaders and princi
ples, but hatred makes no progress,
heals no wounds.
COVXTRY IS GROWING.
There are now nearly eight mil
lions more people In Continental
United States than there were six
years ago.
This estimate Is based upon figures
compiled by the census bureau In a
special report Just issued. According
to Its estimates the population of Con
tinental United States in 1906 was
S3, 941, 610, this being an increase over
1900 of 7,946,835.
The population of the United States,
Inclusive of Alaska and the Insular
possessions, In 1906, was 93,182,240.
The growth in population In Conti
nental United States from 1905 to
1906 was 1,367,315.
Computed on the basis of the esti
mate the density of population of Con
tinental United States In 1906 was 28
persons per square mile, as compared
with 26 in 1900.
The five leading cities and their esti
mated population in 1906 are as fol
lows: New York, 4,113,043; Chicago,
2,049,185; Philadelphia, 1,441,735; St.
Louis, 649,320, and Boston, 602,278.
The 88 cities with an estimated
population of 50,000 or more In 1906
had a total estimated population of
19,771,167, an Increase of 2,766,863, or
16.3 per cent over that reported at the
12th census.

WllKliE AMBER IS I OI.M).
Santo Domingo Is one of the few
placos In the world where amber oc
curs In any quantity. The bulk of
the supply comes from the vicinity
of Kontgsberg, on the Baltic sea
coast. There it occurs In the lower
ollgocene, and appears to have de
posited originally in glauconltlc beds
of clay, which was afterward eroded
hy wave action and the amber dis
tributed, though much of It Is taken
from beds in which it was originally
deposited. Amher Is simply fossil
ized rjsin, derived apparently from
certain coniferous trees. The con
ditions under which It occurs in San
to Domingo do not appear to differ
substantially from the Baltic sea
const. It is found near Santiago
City, associated with lignite, sand
stones and conglomerates. These
beds probably belong to the ollgocene
formation and are found containing
amber at a number of places on the
north coast, as well as on both flanks
of the Monte Crist! range. It also
fiequently occurs in the streams
flowing through these beds. The am
ber is usually In ovate lumps, from
the size of a pea to a man's fist, often
flattened, dull on the exterior, being
covered with a kind of brownish
crust. Maxwell's Talisman.
DEADLY COMMON PLANTS.
The things that give the most
rlesure in life frequently can also
cause the greatest pain. Among
flowers, for instance, the beautiful
snowdrop, the hyacinth, jonquil and
narcissus are all poisonous, and to
eat the smallest part of the root of
either of them would produce fatal
rult, while the Juices of the leaves
will cause violent vomiting.
The berries of ,the yew tree have
killed many people, and the opium
obtained from popples has also
claimed Its victims. Lady's slipper
and lily of the valley are both dan
gerous, and If the blossoms of crocus
are chewed they will cause vomiting.
Flowers from bulbous roots, however,
seem to be th most dangerous, and
it might not be out of place to deal
ers In these to label them with a
crossbones and mark them poison.

THREE EPOCHS IN
A WOMAN'S LIFE
MRS. ELVA BARBER EDWARDS
There are three critical stages in a
woman's life which leave their mark
In her career. The first of these stages
is womanhood, or the change from a
care free girl to budding womanhood,
The second is motherhood, and the
third is Change of Life.
Perils Burround each of these stages,
and most of the misery that comes
to women through ill health dates
from one or another of these im
portant crises.
Women should remember that Lydla
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
made from native roots and herbs has
carried thousands of young girls over
the critical period of puberty, has
prepared mothers for childbirth, and
in later years carried them safely
through the change of life more suc
cessfully than any other remedy in
the world. Thousands of testimonials
from grateful persons, two of which
are here published, substantiate this
fact beyond contradiction,
Mrs. Oeorge Walters of Woodlawn,

Mrs. Plnkhara:
"I feel it my duty to tell you of the good
