"Tis cheap and easy to de
stroy. There Is not a joyful boy
or an innocent girl buoyant
with fine purpose or duty, In nil
the street full of eager and rosy
fnces, but o cynic can chill and
dishearten him with a single
word. Despondency comes
readily enough to the most san
guine. The cynic has only to
follow up their own hint with
his bitter confirmation, and they
check that eager, courageous
pace and go home with heavier
step and premature age. And
this witty malefactor makes
their little all hopeless with
satire and scepticism, and slack
ens the springs of endeavor. Tes,
this Is easy; but to help the
young soul, add energy. Inspire
hope and blow the coals Into a
useful flame, that is not easy,
that Is the work of dlvme men.
Emerson.
of avoiding errors for the man who
Is not accurate Is too dangerous a
person to find a berth In a newspaper
office.
"In addition to these qualifications
the more education a reporter has the
better equipped he is, and there Is no
branch of school learning that Is not
of value to him. for he handles every
subject under the sun. Yet there are
hundreds of first-class newspaper men
who have but a limited school educa
tion. After all, the best education for
the reporter Is the street of a busy
city where his work calls him, and his
keenest critic is the merciless blue
pencil of the copy reader.
"Newspaper work makes a man
broad-minded and Intelligent, for his
education Is In constant progress. His
duties take him in turn Into the court
room, Into the banker's private office,
Into the operating room of the hospi
tal. Into the drawing room of the so
ciety leaders of the city. In turn he
reports a sermon, an Inquest, a street
fight, a lecture, a fire, a political con
vention, a murder, a ball game or a
speech and everywhere he learns
something.
"When the newspaper men assem
ble to receive their assignments, there
ore many callers upon the city editor.
These people 0,11 want one of two
things.' Some want certain things put
into the paper and the others want
certain stories kept out, and there are
fully as many of the latter as there are
of the former.
"If only such news is published as
meets the approval of everybody
there would not be enough news to
fill the paper once a week instead of
once a day. Railroad officials do not
like to have published the news of
wrecks on their roads, or their plans
for building extensions; business men
do not like to have the news of busl-
; ness failures published. Mrs. Brown
doesn t want published the list of
THE NEWSPAPER MAN.
When Jacob Rlis was In Pendleton i
last winter on his lecture tour of the
west, he was asked by the East Ore
gonlon if after his long service as
newspaper reporter and close associ
ate of President Roosevelt in police
vork in New York, he did not desire
a public office.
He replied:
guests at her reception because Mrs.
Smith, who was not Invited, finds that
Mrs. Jones was, and she is angry about
it.
"The 'cub' reporter, as the boy Just
starting In the business is called, Is
Inclined to accommodate his friends
by leaving out what they do not want
him to publish, but he soon gets over
that and always finds plenty of per-
Wo: there is not an 1 sons who are eager to elve him par
office in the United States which at
tracts me; the president would have
given me almost any place I would
have accepted long ago, but I prefer
to be at liberty to act as I see fit, to
be free to tell the story of the wrongs
I see in my own way. I am simply a
reporter. I love to tell the Btory of
things as I see them and If I were In
office I would have my wings clip
ped." That was the estimate placed by
this world famous reformer upon the
calling of the newspaper man.
W. Storey Buck, an old Spokane
newspaper man, formerly chief clerk
of the Washington legislature, now en
gaged in business In Lewiston, Idaho,
delivered an address to the students
of the Lewiston normal school, giving
his definition of "newspaper work." In
his address Mr. Buck illuminates the
"strenuosity of the profession" in the
following delightful language:
"Newspaper men are like teachers
and ministers of the gospel, in that
they are educators, but they are un
like these In that they devote a large
portion of their professional energies
tlculars of the same events which
others are so anxious for him to
omit."
WANTED 7000 CARS.
It Is announced In advance of the
opening of the Lewiston-Riparla
branch of the O. R. & N. that 7000
carloads of products will be hauled
out over that line this year.
Think of the flood of products which
has been "backing up," like the im
peded flow of a stream, for want of
a proper outlet. Think of the In
creased flow of products which will
come from that rich and growing sec
tion with proper and adequate trans
portation facilities.
The Lewlston-Rlparia branch will
pay a profit from the first train that
Is run over the road. It will soon be
blockaded with business and will -develop
new Industries, open up new
sections of tributary territory and will
multiply Its traffic many fold.
The same Is true of other sections
of the inland empire. The Wallowa

One of the Important Duties of Physicians
and the Well-Informed of the World
is to learn as to the relative standing and reliability of the leading manufactur
ers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to
the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well
known to physicians and the Well-Informed generally that the California Fig Syrup
Co., by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of
its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which
is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, aud, therefore, that the name of the
Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy.
TRUTH AND QUALITY
appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc
cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish to cull the attention of all who would
enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right
living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is boat each hour
of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute
to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but
as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the
proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present
truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won
the approval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-informed because
ot the excellence or the combination, known to nil, and the original method of manufac
ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only.
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of
Syrup of Figs and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of
family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well
known to physicians and the Well-informed of the world to bo the best of natural
laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna as more, fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtlessly it will always be
called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs and to get its beneficial effects always
note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co.
plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for Syrup of
Figs or by the full name Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna as Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. and the same heretofore known by the name Syrup of Figs which has given sat
isfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by ull leading druggists throughout the
United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which is fifty
cents per bottle.
Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the
Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D. C, that the remedy is not adulterated
or misbranded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, June 30th, 1906.

section of Colorado, will open up coal
fields of greater extent than the en
tire coal belt of the state of Pennsyl
vania. This immense coal belt Is yet prac
tically untouched and Is an entirely
new source of supply. Lying In the
central west, Its opening should make
cheaper coal for this section, .If the
government Is able to wrest the coal
land from the speculators and land
sharks and preserve It for the benefit
of the public.
The coal land frauds of Colorado
are now at the height of the Investi
gation and it Is sincerely hoped that
the new fuel district Is not allowed
to become the prey of the syndicates
as was the case In Pennsylvania.
The country needs this fuel and It
should get It at a normal price In
stead of being compelled to pay divi
dends on millions of fictitious land
values to the syndicates. The govern
ment will be Justified In confiscating
this coal land If there is no other way
In which to save it to the people.
.This Is the season of the year when
the real Joy and pleasure which a
family affords, are keenly appreciat
ed. To see the happy children ad
vancing from grade to grade, filled
with enthusiasm and aspiration, to
see their developing minds grasping
new and wider phases of educational
progress and to know that the knowl
edge and learning which they are ac
quiring are to enter Into the act've life
of the future these are the only real
rewards, the only things worth while
In life. The empty baubles of society,
the meaningless platitudes of the self
ish life these are nothing.
Every day emphasizes the need of
the local train between Pendleton
and Portland, on the O. R. & N. The
territory tributary to this train will
afford ample business for It and Its
installation will encourage travel. If
people learn that they can go and re
turn at a certain time, they will make
a practice of traveling more. The
train will be self-supporting from the
start.

MILLION l'Olt AUTOMOBILES.
The fact that In nine years the
world has manufactured 550,000 auto
mobiles, which sold for more than a
billion dollars, seems almost stagger
ing. What Is more Impressive is that
Inst year the output was almost 200,
000 and that the United States leads
the world.
This Is surprising when we consider
that the Industry Is practically a
French one In Its origin and pristine
development. It has taken the Yan
kees a very short time to get Into the
game and carry off the prizes. The
industry now Is not only Important but
Is continually growing.
It Is generally supposed that Ameri
can machines are less substantial than
those of foreign make. This is true
only In a relative sense. The American
machines are of all grades and speeds.
The great trouble In this country Is
that the man who buys an ordinary
touring car, which ought not to be sent
more than 26 miles an hour, thinks
that he can speed it up to 40 or 60
without damage. Ono might as well
try to make nn ordinary roadster go
In the 2:20 trotting class and expect
no damage.
It is also true that Improved con
struction and better workmanship are
putting American cars far ahead of
what they were even threo years ago.
There is no reason to doubt that In a
short time we need fear no competi
tion on any grounds. Philadelphia
