Asleep, awake, by ntght or day, The friends I seek are seek- lng me; t No wind can drive my bark astray, Nor change the tide of Des- tiny' The waters know their own and draw the brooks that spring tn yonder height; ' So flows the good with equal law Unto the ul of pure de- light! . The stnrs come nightly to the sky, The tidal wave unto the sea; Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high Can keep my own away from me! From "In Tune With the In- finite." BE.WTIFY OLXEY CEMETERY. People expect to see beautiful and attractive surroundings for centa uries, and the barrenness of Olney cemetery In this city Is especially no ticeable. Not a flower, not a tree, not a pleasant walk, no shade, no pleasant suggestions nothing but barrenness, loneliness and forbidding monotony. Pendleton can afford a more beau tiful cemetery. Her citizens will pro vide one when they are able to do without unnecessary or unreasonable expense and it seems that the oppor tunity is at hand. The city council has looked fa vorably upon the proposition of the electric company to pump water. The people will agree with .the council and before another spring comes, Ol ney cemetery should present a vastly different appearance. The sum of $2000 was bequeathed by Mrs. Sarah Flgg-Thompson for the Improvement of the cemetery, but for some reason the fund Is not available. Pendleton Masonic lodge which was directed to carry out tho intended improvements should se cure this fund and co-operate with the city council in cemetery Improve ments this year. NEW DEPOT NEEDED. - Right now, while the site is cleared by the removal of the coal bunkers, I: the, time for the O. R. & N. to give Pendleton a new passenger depot The removal of the old building will not add to the conveniences, comforts nor appearance of the pres ent depot building. It is entirely In adequate to the needs of the O. R. A N. in Pendleton. Outside of Portland this is the most important point on the O. R. & N. system, not excepting Spokane. A large, beautiful, well lighted, well heated, airy depot building should be provided for Pendleton and on all the vacant space about the grounds a park should be maintained and trees should be planted. Alang the Oregon Short Line are being built some excellent depots. At Weiser, Nampa and Caldwell, elegant buildings are being erected and the Harrlman system should be the Same In Oregon as In Idaho. It is hoped that the officials of the O. R. & N. consider the Importance of Pendleton and bring their depot op td the standard of the city. Thousands of passengers transfer here from the main line of the O. R. N. to the Washington division and the business transacted by the O. R. & N. at this place Is not exceeded at any other point on the system outside of Portland and Spokane. Now is the time to give Pendleton a new depot building. torles, theater programs, society or amusement programs, hotel registers and special contract advertising will be Ignored by the progressive business men of these little New England vil lages, and that their entire advertis ing fund will be applied to newspaper advertising, where it will count for something. The East Oregonlan heartily en dorses the plan of the Rhode Is'and business men. It is a scheme worthy of the west. Instead of making agreements to patronize newspapers exclusively, a number of Industries In western cities have organized to abolish newspaper advertising, and instead squander their advertising funds In theater programs, telephone directories and other absolutely Ineffective forms of advertising. In Pendleton, a city of 7000 people, having 10 excellent grocery stores, there Is but one grocery advertisement carried In the newspapers, that of the Peoples Warehouse. Strangers do not know that there are any other grocery stores In the city. The peo ple in the country districts look In vain for grocery advertisements and thus one of the foremost lines In Pen dleton Is not adequately represented in the papers. Of half a dozen first-class barber shops none of them are represented In Pendleton papers. Of two excel lent laundries, neither are represented in Pendleton papers ana strangers often fail to have work done here, as they think It useless to look for laun dries where they are not advertised. Pendleton can boast of better news papers than any other city of the same size In the northwest. This Is conceded everywhere. It Is a stand ing advertisement for the city that such Is the case. The papers support 25 families and circulate an .enormous sum of money in the city In the course a year. Every day the newspapers boost for the interests of Pendleton. The pro gress of the city Is heralded to the world, new settlers are brought here by the constant advertising of the city and country through the newspapers, every line of business in the city is directly benefited by the public serv ice of the newspapers, and yet lead ing business lines refuse to patronize the papers, but instead spend large sums in absolutely useless advertising in antiquated directories, theater pro grams and other discarded forms of publicity which no live business rec ognizes any more. The newspaper reaches ihe home, Is read by the wife and mother who Is Interested In household affairs and who does the shopping' and buying for the family. It is inexplicable why im portant lines of business should decide t i cease newspaper advertising in the face of all these self-evident and rec ognized facts. Let Pendleton business men follow the excellent example set by the New Englanders and devote all their adver tising appropriations to newspaper ad vertising, for it is the only kind that pays. has done to the trusts, railroads and other great evils of the day. He is probably the most unpopular man among his colleagues who can " be found In the country. Very few people doubt, however, that he has a cer tain usefulness. He Is drawing big crowds on his lecture tour. There seems to be the same fascination for people ahout him that there is about a buz saw. The re-election of City Superintend ent J. S. Landers to have charge of ,Pendleton public schools will be heartily commended by the patrons of the schools who have recognized his ability and fitness for that Important position. A new era Is Just opening before Pendleton schools. Next year will be better and more important than ever, since a large number of farmers are looking toward Pendle-dren.

Pendleton people who were delight ed with the able and brilliant lecture by Senator La Follette last Monday night will not agree with the following wall of the Yakima Republic which is evidently on the wrong side of Senator La Follette's roll call of the senate. The Republic says In advance of the La Follette lecture In that city: Senator La Follette, who speaks here Thursday night, has no regard for the feelings of anybody when he talks. They say his lectures are a roast of public men from beginning to end. He generally talks about the things he After the presiding officer of a mis sionary conference of the Methodist denomination at Des Moines. Iowa, last week, had called loudly several times for Dr. Hlnes of Portland, Ore., to come forward and take his assign ment on the program, some one whispered in the presidential ear. "Ladles and gentlemen," said that of ficial, "owing to the fact that Dr. Hlnes has been dead for several years, he will not appear on our program today." The audience, deeming the excuse given a reasonable one, was quite willing to pass on to the next number on the program. Denver News. ROYAL Baking Powder is indispen sable to the preparation of the finest cake, hot-breads, rolls and muffins. Housekeepers are sometimes importuned to buy other powders because they are "cheap," Housekeepers should stop and think. If such powders are lower priced, are they inferior?

But alum is a corrosive which, taken in food, acts injuriously upon the stomach, liver and kidneys. ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK. HOW MAHOGANY IS FOVND, Mahr.gany trees do not grow In clus ters, but are scattered throughout the forest and hidden In a dense growth of underbrush, vines and creepers, and require a skilful arid experienced woodsman to find them. He seeks the highest ground In a forest, climbs to the lop nf the tallest tree, and sur veys the surrounding country. The n-ihogany has a reculiar foliage, and his practiced eye soon detects the trees within sight. ''lie :-.men follow the hunter, and then come the sayers and hewers, a large mahogany taking two men a full day tu fell it. The tree has large spurs which project from thi- trunk ut its base, and scaffolds must be erected o that the tree can be cut off above the spurs. This leaves a stump ten to fifteen feet high, which Is sheer waste, ns the stump really contains the best lumber. The banter has nothing to do with tbn work of cutting or removing the tree, his duty being simply to locate It. If ho Is clever and energetic, his remuneration may amount to 1500 or JIO'.'O a month; but he may travel weuits at u time without detecting a THE CRISIS. Once to evoiy man and nation comes the moment to decide.

MISS JULIE FLORENCE WALSH WOMEN SUFFER If any women raffar in ail ana and drift along from bad to worse, know tpf well that the ought to have immediate aaalatanoe. Eow many women do yon know who are perfectly well and strong f The cause may be easily traoed to some feminine derangement which manifests itself in depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere or do anything, backache, dragging sensations, flatulency, nervousness, and sleeplessness. These symptoms are but warnings that there is danger ahead, and un less heeded, a life of suffering or a serious operation Is the inevitable result The best remedy for all these symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs. No other medicine in the country has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. No other medi due has such a record of cures of female ills. Miss J. F. Walsh, of 338 W. 38th Bt., New York City, writes; "Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been of inestimable value in restoring my health. I suffered from female illness which caused dreadful headaches, dizziness, and dull pains in my back, but your medicine soon brought about a change in my general condition, built me up and made me perfectly well" Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cures Female Complaints, such as Backache, Falling and Displacements, Inflammation and Ulcera tion, and organie diseases. It is Invaluable In preparing for child-birth and during the Change of Life. Itoures Nervous Prostration, Headache, General Debility, and Invigorates the whole system.

The blood becomes so fully charged with catarrhal matter that stomach troubles are brought on, the kidneys and bladder are affected, and if the blood 19 not purified of the poison the lungs become diseased because of the constant passage of impure blood through them. Catarrh cannot be cured with washes, sprays, inhalations and such treatment ; these cannot reach the poison-laden blood where the real cause is located, and can only give temporary relief and comfort. A disease which affects the entire blood supply as does Catarrh, must be treated with, a blood purifier. 3. S. S. is the best remedy for Catarrh, which has grown to be universal disease.
