laggard stay,
March swiftly on, yet err not
from the way
Where all the nobly wise of old
have trod
The path of faith made by the
sons of Qod.
Something to learn and some-
thing to forget;
Hold fas) the good and seek the

Press dn, and prove the pilgrim-

That creeds are milestones on
the road to Truth.

LET PENDLETON BEWARE.
Every citizen of Umatilla county
who is loyal to the county will agree
with the East Oregonlan when It says
that Pendleton, and not Walla Walla
must be the center of any electric
railroad system which covers Uma
tilla county.
But unless Pendleton capital Is on
Its guard, such will not be the case.
The Invasion of Umatilla county
by an electric line from Walla Walla
Is even now taking business away
from Umatilla county. As this system
of electric lines with Its center In
Walla Walla, Is extending over Uma
tilla county, It will strengthen the
position of Walla Walla as the center
and objective point. It will be sever
al years, perhaps. If at all, and all
of these years the smaller towns In
the east end of Umatilla county will
be patronizing and supporting Walla
Walla.
This Is not an alarmist editorial, but
It Is a plain talk to Pendleton capital
and a warning that Is sounded In the
Interest of Pendleton.
Pendleton capital or capital secur
ed by Pendleton, should begin now to
counteract the Influence of the Walla
Walla-Freewater electric line, by the
construction of lines which will bind
every portion of Umatilla county to
this city. Soon the Hermlston and
Umatilla districts will be teeming
with settlers, and If the Walla Walla
line Is not checkmated there Is a pos
sibility of an extension to Helix and
thence to the west end of this county,
thus placing Walla Walla In direct
touch with every portion of Umatilla
county.
The city of Pendleton should begin
now to Join forces with the Open River
Transportation company and see that
the proposed line of railroad which Is
now surveyed from Simmons Landing
on the Columbia river, to Holdman, be
extended to this city. This line will
be completed within a few years and
would counteract any Walla Walla In
vasion Into the north part of Umatilla
county.
While the electric line movement is
young, yet It Is imperceptibly making
Walla Walla the center, turning peo
ple's eyes toward Walla Walla, mak
ing It easy for people to go to Walla
Walla and If allowed to develop along

The Drugless Nerve
Specialist.
What is the Definition of

sation and motive; firmness;
strength.
There are several nerve centers In
the body. Let one of them become de
ranged or .weakened and what is the
result? Take the stomach, for In
stance, which Is one of the great nerve
centers. If the nerves In the stomach
become deranged or weakened, what
then? Indigestion, sour stomach, then

fects the nerves of the bowels, which
sometimes causes diarrhoea, others
constipation. The whole nervous sys
tem then becomes affected and many

these lines, will ultimately work
greatly to the disadvantage of Pendle
ton.
There are Just ns competent and
wide awake business men In Pendleton
as in Walla Walla. There are Just as
many Inducements for people to come
to Pendleton as to go to Walla Walla,
if the public conveniences are equal.
Pendleton must beware. If she
would bring the people of Umatilla
county to her, she must offer facilities
equal to those offered by Walla
Walla.
Pendleton, and not Walla Walla,
must always be the railroad and trad
ing center of Umatilla county.
A TALK TO BUSINESS MEN.
Pendleton business men who have
been liberally patronizing the Echo
register with advertisements, .will be
surprised to learn that In the recent
write-up ' of Echo and vicinity, the
Register did not mention the name of
Pendleton nor of a Pendleton Institu
tion. It "cut Pendleton out" entirely
when It came to advertising the coun
ty, but
The Register comes to Pendleton for
business right along.
This Is a lesson to Pendleton busi
ness men, one "which should remind
them of certain useless forms of ad
vertising which they are called upon
to support.
Pendleton newspapers have more
subscribers In Echo thnn the Echo
Register has, and advertisements In
Pendleton papers which are, or should
be carried by every Pendleton busi
ness firm, reach the people of Echo
more quickly and more thoroughly
than through the Register or any
other local paper in Echo.
The East Oregonlan alone, has more
circulation In Echo nnd Its tributary
country, than the Register can ever
hope to have, and advertisements of
Pendleton firms in the East Oregon
lan are read in almost every home In
that rich country. If business men
would only realize this, and would
understand that the large dally papers
published In the county seat reach
every portion of the county, thorough
ly and quickly, they would concentrate
their advertising funds wtiero they
would bring results,
Pendleton papers have helped make
Echo what she Is. The East Oregon
lan has published perhaps 50 columns
of reading matter advertising Echo
and Echo business firms In the past
three years, and this rebuke which
Pendleton business men have receiv
ed from the .Register, which lft out
all mention of the county Seat, should
be a reminder hereafter.
When Pendleton Commercial asso
ciation appropriated $100 this spring
to advertise the various parts of Uma
tilla county, one the best pages in the
booklet Issued was devoted to Eoho
and vicinity.
It Is hoped that the Register does
not fully express the attitude of Echo
and her business Interests toward
Pendleton, the county seat.
WHY NOT LA FOLLETTE.
If Roosevelt Is so anxious to let his
mantle fall upon a candidate who Is
In Btrlct accord with his own vigor
ous policy, why does he not select
Senator Robert La Follette, Insted of
the plutocratic toady, Taft?
Before Roosevelt picked Taft up and
made him something, officially, he
was In disfavor throughout the coun
try. He made himself obnoxious dur
ing the railroad strikes of 1888 and
1894, by his biased decisions In favor
of corporation Interests and If left to
his own resources today would per
haps repeat his actions of that period.
If Roosevelt will not become presi
dent again and really desires to see
his policies continued through an
other, administration, why does he not
select such a man as Senator La Fol
i lette, who has had the manhood and

..... . . :i
fearlessness to stand up for the Roose
velt Ideal through a sharp fire from
the ultra-conservatives In congress?
In what way do either Toft or Fair
banks represent the Roosevelt Ideal?
In what way have they ever express
ed a willingness to bring the govern
ment back to the plain people, and
unhorse the corporations which are
now In the saddle In congress?
If Roosevelt does not name a man
who will really continue the Roose
velt policies, It Is certain that Bryan
will be the, next president. Bryan .Is
the father of the Roosevelt Ideals, but
without a strong following In con
gress Bryan would have his hands
tied.
While It would be' a heaven-sent
vindication and reward for William
Jennings Bryan to honor him with
the presidency, yet he Is honest
enough, big enough, conscientious
enough to be sntlsfied with the tri
umph of his principles through the
agency of a Roosevelt, a La Follette
or any other candldatj who might
bi elected on the Bryan platform.
There Is no good reason for locat
ing the proposed city hall anywhere
else, than upon the tract of land now
owned by the city at the corner of
Alta and Cottonwood streets. This
was selected for the purpose because
It is in the heart of the city, conven
ient to all parts. It is large enough
for a city hall to answer all needs of
Pendleton perhaps for all time to
come. The talk of locating the city
hall north of the river or on upper
Court street Is all intended to direct
attention away from the real logical
location at the corner of Cottonwood
and Alta, where the city has purchas
ed property. Let us stick to the
original Intention of the city council
and build a city hall In the heart of
the city where It will be convenient
and accessible to all.
A MOUNTAIN NOCTURNE.
Crimson, and beaten gold, and gleam
Ing green,
Purple and steely gray, the Lord of
Light
Onthers his robes about him; spreads
their sheen
mordent from the Peak, and
then the Night!
The west parts slowly with Its rud-
ly glow:
The purple shadows darken. On
the hill
The silent spruce Is sentry; and be
low
The lazy gossip of the birds Is ctlll,
The startled aspens shiver in" their
. sleep;
The hunyy coyote in the distance
whines;
Like guilty priests affright, the wood
folk creep
From out the dark cathedral of
the pines.
Dark, deep, and strangely glowing.
broods the sky:
The stars, outstanding In their or
bits, gleitm;
And through the listening canyon
ceaselessly
Throbs the complaining 'cello of
the stream.
George L. Knapp In Denver News.
Sicily's Wheat Market.
Vice-Consul Jacob Rltter reports
that the Importation of American
wheat Into Catania, Italy, Is becom
Ing of considerable importance. He
says further; During the three
months ending February 28, 12,600
tons of American hard wheat, valued
at $460,000, were received at this
port. This wheat after being Mixed
with Sicilian and Russian wheat Is
ground Into grits (semola) and then
used fo manufacturing macaroni
and bread, the latter being prefer
red to that made of flour. Formerly
all the grain imported into Catania,
came from south Russia, which guve
very good results, but the heavy Rus
sian demand and higher prices caus
ed the millers here to turn to Am
erica.
Thirteen Inches of snow fell at
Denver on April 2d. The heaviest
snowfall at that place so late In the
season since 1885.

What shall we do? Pour medicine
Into the stomach? No! That will
only weaken the nerves and make the
matter worse. Oo to a nerve special
ist. One that works direct upon the
nervous system, strengthening and
building up the nerve forces. When
that has been done then your trouble
has ceased and you are again restored
to health. Call on Prof. Wells and

Prof. Wells had a call from Boise,
Idaho, yesterday to take charge of a
sanltorlum ' Institute and in3tall his
mode of treating disorders In connec
tion with their medical treatment.
The doctors are getting wise to the
fact that there Is a quicker way of
curing many aliments besides dopelng
with drugs. Anyone wishing to take
treatments of Prof. Wells will have to
be enrolled this week, as he will not
receive new patients aftor this week.

According to the consular report
as regards oxen and bulls, the prices
at tho beginning of January on the
Berlin market renged from JO.CR to
$10.47 per 110.2 pounds In 1903, and
from J6.43 to $12.(11 In 1907. The
movements of heifers and cows
closely followed those of oxen and
bulls. In the case cf calves the price
experienced an unusually strong In
crease, rising from a range of $6.96
to $13.3:'. in 1J03, to $6.19 to $18.18

that old sores exist merely because of WAi-
a diseased condition of the flesh where the ulcer it located. They
patiently apply salves, powders, plasters and other external applica
tions, but in spite of all such treatment the place refuses to heal. When
ever a 60re or ulcer does not heal readily the blood is at fault ; this
vital fluid is filled with impurities and poisons which or constantly
being discharged into the place, feeding it with noxious matief,
which makes it impossible for the sore to heal. Old sores may be th rwult
of an inherited blood taint, or the effects of a long spell of sickness, or again
the circulation may be contaminated with the collections of refute matter
which the different members have failed to expel through the channels of
PURELY VEGETABLE
trouble because they do not reach the blood. S. S. S. cures Old Sores by
g oing to the very bottom of the trouble, driving out the impurities and
poisons and purifying and building up the entire circulation. When 8. S. S.
has removed the cause the blood becomes rich and healthy, the sore begin!
to heal, new flesh is formed, the place scab over and is soon permanently
healed. Book on Sores and Ulcers and any medical advice free.
