RESULTS FROM ADVERTISING.
Several tracts of Hermiston land
have recently been sold to people who
read of Hermiston In the East Oregon
tan, and who brought copies of the
East Oregonlan with them to show
the source of their information.
This is a direct result of free adver
tising and shows the benefits of a
widely circulated newspaper to a
county or community. There Is not a
point in Umatilla county which has
not had the same experience. There
Is scarcely a business man in the
county who has not also enjoyed the
same results from notices of his busi
ness In the East Oregonlan at differ
ent times.
It is simply Impossible to estimate
the value of advertising to a commu
nity. No other agency In the world
brings such results to communities as
clean, live, wholesome newspapers
which the people read and keep for
reference.
ADVERTISING PENDLETON.
The first wool sales held In the
west, each year, are held In Pendleton.
These sales bring wool buyers, manu
facturers, railroad agents and sheep
men from all over the United States
to this city.
Boston, New Bedford, London, Chi
cago, Cincinnati, St. Louis and other
large railroad and manufacturing cen
ters were represented In the wool
sales here yesterday and today.
These men never forget the things
they see and learn In Pendleton. It
It a typical, progressive, bUBy western
city and the .memories they carry
away keep Pendleton constantly be
fore them. They tell others about the
city, talk and write about It and In a
thousand ways advertise us.
It Is a compliment to Pendleton
climate to say that the first spring
sales are held here. Shearing begins
early on account of the warm weather.
This fact alone, If known to eastern
ers, would bring many homeseekers
here. It would be needless to say
anything more to many Intending
homeseekers, than that the "first
spring sales" are here.
A PLEA FOR THE POOR BOY.
All of the graduating orations de
livered by the high school class last
night were good. They were well
chosen, well thought out, well deliver
ed and exhibited the disciplined think
ing and systematic mlnd-tralnng
which the class has received In the
school.
One of the orations, however, es
pecially appealed to the East Oregon
lan. It was the plea for the poor boy,
that brief but telling essay on the
virtue and strength of the self-made
man.
All about us are the poor boys of
the country and city, manfully striv
ing to get an education and fit them
selves for life. Nobody knows the
secrets of those struggles; nobody
knows the privations which many of
them suffer, but they bear it manful
ly and will succeed.
The East Oregonlan loves the poor
boy who is making a fight, alone, for
an education. It has faith In this
boy, It sees the promise of a man In
him and whenever or wherever It can
help such a boy, It will gladly do so.
Upon such boys, ' who without
wealth, social prestige, political or fi
nancial influence, simply , climb Into
prominence and success, the future
must depend. Few pampered sons of
wealth ever achieve anything really
great. They live easily In youth, do
not learn self dependence, they do not
learn to stand upon their own feet,
they do not get the trying experiences
which bring out the genuine merit In
men.
It Is the boy without means who
learns early to rely upon himself. He
must work for everything he receives.
Ho must earn his way, he must fight
for every foot of ground he gains.
This boy will win In the end. It
may be unpleasant at first to be de
prived of many of the comforts which
others prize lightly, but at the end of
the road, the brightest triumphs, the
most satisfying results are awaiting
this self-made boy who made good,
alone.
So here Is the hearty hand clasp for
the poor boy who Is struggling upward
alone. Here Is the cheering word of
encouragement. Here Is the boost
along the way.
. PENDLETON SHOULD KNOW.
The supreme court of Oregon yes
terday decided that the law giving
cities power to change their charters
without special act of the legislature,
is valid, and all. charter changes made
under it are legal and binding.
The decision was rendered In the
case from Astoria In- which a num
ber of mossback property holders en
deavored to have a charter change
authorizing street Improvements, set
aside.
The lower court upheld the charter
made by the people and' the supreme
court sustained the lower court, so all
there Is for the mossback to do Is to
make his street Improvement and look
pleasant.
This Is the beginning of the best
period for Oregon cities and is one of
the most practical laws In the statutes
of Oregon. The progressive people
are In the majority In every Oregon
city and by this law they will now
be enabled to make charter changes
which will stand for progress and de
cency.
The same mossbacks In Astoria who
were opposed to street improvements,
were willing to collect high rent from
saloons and dance halls, willing to run
everything wide open, make money
from other people's Industry but lm.
provements, oh no, that Is out of their
line.
Pendleton hears of this decision with
genuine satisfaction. It places her
charter changes beyond the reach of
litigation, and Insures the needed In
provements which have been author'
Ized by the proposed changes In her
charter.
There need be no fear of the people
of any city going to extremes In mak
ing charter changes. The same staid,
substantial citizenship which Is found
In the legislature and which formerly
made charter changes, Is found In the
cities of Oregon.
The East Oregonlan believes in the
people. It Is always safe -to trust
them. You always know where to
find them. If all the lawmaking pow
er were directly In their hands the
country would be better off.
JACK LONDON "RUNS DRY."
The Portland Oregonlan made & Big'
nlflcant remark about Jack London
In a recent Issue, when It said the
public should know what book he la
going to take his next novel from.
The first few things which London
wrote were excellent, radiating, illum
inating flashes of literature. He
touched a new and extremely popular
fancy. He wrote with a wh'rl and a
rush seldom. If ever, equaled In lit
erary history.
But soon he "ran dry," as they say
of a false oil well. He was soon pump
ed out. Instead of spouting high up
above the surface he failed. His stuff
became stale. He was evidently writ
ing for money, on the reputation he
first made.
His last few stories are absolutely
silly. He copied his "Before Adam"
from a book and a plot long extant
and otherwise "flunked," as they say
when a man does not make good.
London is now trying to make
money on his reputation. The maga
zines encourage htm by buying his silly
stuff and the people are wondering If
he Is ever going to "spout up" again,
as he did when he first broke Into
fame, or If he Is permanently "dry."
EQUAL TO THE EMERGENCY,
The Rev. Dr. Fourthly was read
ing the evening lesson from the
Bonk of Job.-
"Yea, the light of the wicked
shall be put' out'"
At that Instant, by one of those
inexplicable accidents that ' some
times happen, all the electric lights
went out, leaving the church In to
tal darkness.
"Hrethren," said Dr, Fourthly
without a moment's pause, "In view
of the sudden end startling fulfill
ment of this prophecy we will spend
a few minutes In silent prayer for
tho electric light company. Chica

JOHN J. INGALLS' "
ESSAY ON GRASS.
The following clastic on the sub-
leot of "Oruss," was written many
years ago by John J. Ingalls of Kan
sas and is now considered one of the
gems of western literature:
Majestic, fruitful, wondrous plant'
The corn triumphant, that with the
aid of man hath made victorious
procession across the tufted plain
and laid foundation for the soda
excel'ence that Is to be. This glor
ious plant, transmuted by the al
c'.'.ci.:y of Cod, tuuluins the wairiur
in battle, the poet In song and
strengthens everywhere the thou
sand arms that work the purposes of
life.
Next In Importance to the divine
profusion of water,, light and air,
those three great physical facts
which render existence possible, may
be reckoned the universal beneficence
of grass.
Exaggerated by tropical heats and
vapors to the gigantic cano congest
ed with Its saccharine secretion or
lwarfed by polar rigors to the fi
brous hair of northern solitudes, em
bracing between the extremes the
maize, wilh Its resolute pennons, the
rice plant of southern swamps, the
wheat, rye, barley, oats and other ce-
reils, no less than the humbler ver
dure of the hillaiile, pasture and
prairie in the temperate zone, grass
In the most widely distributed of all
vegetable heinas and Is at once the
type of our life and the emblem of
Immortality.
Lying In the sunshine among the
buttercups and dandelions of May,
scarcely higher In Intelligence that'
the minute tenants of the mimic
wilderness, our earliest recollections
are vf grass, and when the fitful fe
ver Is f-nded and the forum wrangle
of the market and the scar which
our descent Into the bosom of the
earth has made, and the carpet of
the Infant becomes the blanket of
the dead.
Orass Is the forgiveness of nature,
her constant benediction. . Fields
trampled with battle, saturated with
blood, torn with the ruts of cannon,
grow green again with grass, and
carnage is forgotten. Streets aban
donod by traffic become grass-grown
like rural lanes and obliterated.
Forests decay, harvests perish
flowers vanish, but grass is Immor-
IhI. Ttileaguered' by the sullen hosts
of winter, it withdraws into the Im
pregnable fortress of Its sunt?rran
enn vitality and emerges upon th
first ollrltation of spring. Sown by
the winds, by wandering birds, prop
agated by the subtile horticulture of
the elements, which are Its minis
ters and servants, It softens, the rude
outline of the world. Its tenacious
fibers holds the earth in Its place
nd prevents Its soluble components
from washing into the. wasting sea.
It Invades the solitudes of the des
erts, climbs the Inaccessible slopes
and forbidden pinnacles of moun'
tains, modifies climates and deter
mines the history, character and des
tiny cf nations. Unobtrusive an,d pa-
l lent, it has tho field. It bides Its time
to return, and when vigilance has re'
laxed or dynasty has perished it si-.
lenllv resumes the throne from
which has been expelled, but which
It never abrogates. y
It bears no blazony of bloom to
chann the senses , with fragrance nr
splendor, but Its homely hue Is more
enchanting than the ll:y or the rose,
It yields no fruit In earth or air, and
yt should its harvest fall for a Mn
gle yev fpmlne would depopulate the
world.

THEIR INTRODUCTION.
A Colorado man who Is visiting In
Wellington, told If. L. Woods this
story, says the Kansas City Star: The
game warden of Colorado was walk
ing out In the mountains the other
day when he met a hunter with his
gun. . The official suggested that that
ought to be a. good country for hunt
ing. "It certainly Is," said the hunter,
proudly. "I killed one of the finest
bucks yesterday I ever saw, and he
weighed over 200 pounds.' It was the
season when deer may not be shot
without subjecting the hunter to a
heavy fine. "Well, that Is a fine one,"
said the warden, "and do you know
who you are talking to?" ' Being as
sured that he did not, the official
said: "Why, I am the - chief, game
warden of Colorado." The hunter
was only taken aback for a moment,
when he asked, "And do you know
who you are talking to?" The warden
didn't know.
"Well, sir," said the hunter, appar
ently much relieved, "you are talking
to the biggest liar In the whole state
of Colorado."

SKETCH OP HENRY M. TELLER.
Henry M. Teller, who represented
the state of Colorado In the United
States senate for many years, was
born In New York, May 23, 1830.
After graduating from Alfred uni
versity he taught school for several
years and at the same time studied
law. He was admitted to the bar at
Mlnghampton In 1856 and during the
next few years practiced In Illinois.
In 1861 he removed to Colorado and
settled In Central City. His ability
os a lawyer soon gained him promi
nence. In politics he affiliated with
the republicans, but declined to be
come a candidate for office until the
admission of Colorado to the nation.
In 1877 he was elected to the United
States senate and served until 1889,
when he was appointed secretary of
the interior In the cabinet of Pres
ident Arthur. In 1891 he was re-
