And what Is so rare as a day In
June?
Then, If ever, come perfect days
Then Heaven tries earth, if It
be In tune
And over It softly her warm ear
lays.
Whether we look or whether
we listen
We hear life murmur and see It
glisten:
Every clod feels a stir of might,
An Instinct within it that reaches
and towers.
And, groping blindly above It
for light.
Climbs to a soul In grass and
flowers!
James Russell Lowell In "Sir
Launfal."
THE DAYLIGHT TRAIN.
Tomorrow the railroad commission
will meet in Pendleton to investigate
the demand for a local train between
Pendleton and Portland.
If the commission happens to ride
on one of the crowded trains where
1: is impossible to find a seat or se
cure sleeping car accommodations, It
will perhaps demand no further evi
dence on the subject.
The railroad company will no doubt
bring many statistics and reports of
ticket sales and other Information to
show that a local train from Pendle
ton to Portland would not pay.
Pendleton cannot get at the actual
records of the passenger business, of
course, for that belongs exclusively to
the company, but Pendleton can show
actual conditions of travel which will
more than offset any array of bus
iness statistics which may be present
ed. The commission must deal with
conditions, It must take cognizance
of crowded and unsanitary cars, lack
of accommodations, late and uncertain
trains on the main line and other ac
tual facts which Pendleton wilt be
able to present.
; There has always been the best of
feeling and understanding between
Pendleton and the O. R. 4 N. compa
ny and there Is no reason for any bit
terness now. The effort of the city
to secure better accommodations Is a
just and fair business proposition and
If the city can show that such service
Is needed the company will cheerful
ly supply It
A hearing and an Investigation by
the railroad commission Is the only
logical way In which to go at the mat
ter and the result of this hearing
should and will be cheerfully accepted
by both Pendleton and the O. R. & N.
company.
Pendleton la one of the most Im
portant points on the Oi R. & N. sys
tem. More business originates for the
O. R. & N. In this territory than in
any other territory on the system out
side of Portland and the company
cannot deny the best possible service.
AN APPEAL TO PENDLETON.
The following editorial brief ap
pearing In the Salem Statesman of last
week, should remind Ptendleton of
her duty to herself, In providing man
ufacturing enterprises to make pay
rolls In the city. The Statesman says:
"Some of the freight trains going
north through Salem of late have had
among their cargo a number of the
large combined harvesters and thresh
ers which are manufactured In Cali
fornia. They are en route to the Im
mense grain growing districts of east
ern Oregon, where a single farm pro
duces annually as much as 60,000
bushels of wheat."
- Why should Umatilla send to
Stockton, a distance of almost 1000
miles, for her combined harvesters,
when the demand for these machines
would keep a large factory busy the
year around In Pendleton?
Why should Pendleton sit still and
see train loads of these machines
hauled Into the warehouses of this
city, when she should be making them
within her own borders T
It has always been the case, how
ever, that the shoemaker's wife goes
barefoot, the tailor wears patched
clothes and the carpenter's roof leaks.
By the same rule of reasoning;, Pendle
ton, the heart of the best' wheat dis
trict In the northwest, imports all her
threshing machines, combined har
vesters and grain sacks.
"TIPS."
Editor Harvey W. Scott, of the
Portland Oregonian, has Just travel
ed from New York to Portlnnd in a
Pullman car, and is therefore In the
proper state of mind to write a strong
editorial on the evils of the tipping
system.
This he has done In his usual mas
terful and logical manner In tho Sun
day Oregonian of June J.
The Pullman company not only,
overcharges the public for the serv
ice rendered, but it then forces the
public to pay the salaries of Its em
ployes In tips. The dining car people
not only charge extortionate prices
for their meals, but patrons of dining
cars are forced to hire the waiters to
bring them what they are charged
two prices for. In the first place, mak
ing two hold-ups In the same car.
There is no reason for the existence
of the tipping system In the United
States. The enormous Incomes of the
rullman car and dining car company
Justify them in paying handsome sal
aries to their employes, Instead of
feeding and clothing them from the
charity of the traveling public.
The East Oregonian would like to
know that every sensible business
man who rides on Pullman cars or
patronizes dining cars, would make a
resolution not to tip.
If every business man would do
this, and then If mistreated or given
poor service, If these same Duslness
men would Jump on to the companies
with both feet, and harass them with
complaints and grievances, the em
ployes on these cars would soon be
paid sufficient salaries to relieve the
public from this robbery.
Suppose clerks In stores demanded
tips from customers before showing
goods, or making sales. Let us Just
take this curse home and try to realize
how foolish and unjust it is.
The communication from Athena
published in the Pendleton Tribune
Sunday morning and in the East Ore
Bonian today, on moral conditions In
this city, Is not the Idle talk of an
agitator. It is a bona fide expresslcn
of public sentln ent from a class of
people to whom Pendleton owes her
prosperity and standing. She cannot
fall to pas? the criticism unnoticed,
Sne must remember that the pao.-le
of Umatilla county have something to
say In the conditions which prevail in
their county seat. The attention of
the readers of the East Oregonian is
called to this article. It contains con
siderable food for serious thought.
No worthy cause ever appealed to
Pendleton In vain. This Is again dem
onstrated In the dedication of the
Methodist church yesterday, when In
three meetings during the day a total
of about 114,000 was subscribed to
meet the Indebtedness on the elegant
new church building just completed,
During the -past 16 months Pendleton
has raised In the neighborhood of
$50,000 In public subscriptions. And
in the next 16 months she will re
peat the performance If the call
comes from the right sources attend'
ed with an apparent obligation.
There Is more than ordinary Interest
In the coming of Father Thomas
Sherman, son of the famous General
W. T. Sherman of civil war fame, to
this city this month for a course of
lectures In St. Mary's Catholic church.
Father Sherman Is said to be a brll
Hunt lecturer and Is a zealous worker
In his church. However, there will
be more than denominational interest
In his lectures. He will be welcomed
by all to Pendleton.
SKETCH OF SENATOR PROCTOR.
Senator Redfield Proctor, whom It
is rumored may Boon resign his seat
In the United States senate In favor
of his son, who Is now governor of
Vermont, was born In Proctorsvllle,
Vt., June 1, 1831. He began his po
litical srareer In 1867, when he was
elected to the Vermont houre or rep
rrsentatlves. In 1876 he was elected
lieutenant governor, and two years
later he was elected governor.. He
was lieutenant In the Third Vermont
regiment nt the opening of the civil
war. and Was later on General W. F.
Smith's staff.
After the war he practiced law and
left that profession to become a mer
chant. Under President Harrison he
was secretary of war and In that po
sitlon made a fine record. He paid
particular attention to the coast de
fences and under his Influence sites
for' fortifications were purchased,
money was appropriated for the con
struction of batteries and mines, the
great gun factory at Watervllet was
taken for the manufacture of heavy
guns, and other measures for similar
guards of the nation s safety were
adopted. Since 1891 he has repre'
s'-nted Vermont In the senate.
Three persons were killed and two
others probably fatally Injured In a
runaway stage accident on Wednes,
day near Lopey, In Klamath county.

WILLI M ROCKEFELLER.
William Rockefeller, who by rea
son of his vast wealth and Standard
Oil connections, Is a powerful factor
In the world of finance, was born In
Tioga county. New York, May SI,
H was educated In the Owega
academy and the public schools of
Cleveland. At the age of 17 ho left
school to become a bookkeeper for
miller. A year o rtwo later he
formed n connection with a rival
flour mill, nntl at 21 he became a
partner In the conrern. In 1865 he
went Into the oil business In a mod
est way with his brother, John 1).
Rockefeller, In Cleveland. Tho
brothers, with one ontfo associates,
build a little reflnerv. which they
called the Standard Oil works.
Just after the civil war William
went to New York to act ns eastern
ng-iit for the Cleveland refineries.
In 1870 the old partnership was dis
solved and its place Was taken by the
Standard OH company of Ohio, with
a capital of $1,000,000. The pres
ent company was organized In 1S82,
with William Rockefeller as presi
dent. Then came the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey, commonly
railed the trust, of which William
Rockefeller was made vice president.
Since that time he has been Intl-
nintcly associated with all the rami
fications of tho gigantic monopoly,
while his wealth has lncrrcased to
vast proportions. While his name Is
not ns conspicuous as that of his
brother, John D. Rockefeller, he Is
said to possess a wider knowledge In
detull of the great corporation whose
power spreads to all the countries of
the world.
IlEI'PNt.R'S PROTEST.
A petition from Will P. Bennett,
secretin y of the Commercial club,
h:is been received by the state rail
way commission regarding' the rhlp
plng rates In erfect on the Heppner
branch of the O. R. & N railroad, the
principal shipping points being Hepp
ner, Lexington and lone, says the
Salem Statesman.
It U stated In the complaint that
the Morrow county farmers export
ibout l.non.noo bushels of wheat, and
about .1,000,000 pounds of wool, be
sides a great many sheep, cattle and
horses annually and that the rate In
effect from Heppner to Portland for
a distance- of 199 miles for wheat Is
18 cents per hundred pounds, which
is 2 1-4 cents more than was charged
by the said railroad prior to the year
l'JOR, that the rate from Pendleton to
Portland, a distance of 231 miles on
the O. R. N. Is 13 3-4 cents; the
rate from Wallula, Wash., Is 15 cents
the distance being 214 miles from
Portland; the rate from Irrigon,
Morrow county, a distance of 180
miles Is 15 cents per hundred pounds
from this statement of facts It ap
pears to us that the rate charged by
said railroad on said branch Is ex
cessive. The petition requests the commis
sion to investigate these fact with
a view of obtaining a more equitable
rate from the shipping points on the
Heppner branch and Is signed by peo
ple of that section of the country.

Mystery of Revolver Tlieft Lifted
The mystery of the theft of 16 ar
my revolvers from the store room of
Troop K last March was cleared up
Saturday night when a youn man by
the name of W. W. Branton attempt
ed to dispose of one of the stolen
guns at the pawn shop of George An
derson, and was later arrested with
the result that he made a partial
confession Implicating two members
of Troop K, Corporal Homesley and
Private Fairchlld. The latter two
were put through a sweat by Captain
Dudley, commander of the post, and
Lieutenant Fisher, of Troop K and
were forced to admit the theft of
the guns, all except two of which
were recovered.
Homesley and Fairchlld after dis
closing that the place cf concealment
was near the old cemetery, where 12
of the guns were found In an ammuni
tion box, were locked up In separate
quarters to await the action of the
government authorities, whl'e Bran
ton was placed In tho city Jail to
await trial. H. L. Wiseman, a ranch
er living about five miles from the
city was also placed under arrest for
having purchased one of the stolen
guns, but was later released on his
own recognizance for appearance at
the hearing this morning before the
United States court commissioner, as
ho claimed that he was ignorant of
the fact that the gun was stolen.

Chronic Ulcers are the result of a
The blood is filled with impurities and germs which are being- constantly
fed into the place through the circulation, until all the surrounding flesh
becoittes diseased and the sore an obstinate and permanent trouble.
Every symptom of an old ulcer suggests pollution ; the discharge, the red,
angry looking flesh, the inflammation and discoloration of surrounding parts,
all show that the ulcer is prevented from healing by the constant drainage
through it of impurities from the blood. This impure condition of the blood
may be hereditary, or it may be the remains of some constitutional disease,
or the effects of a long spell of sickness, leaving disease germs in the system,
or the absorption of the refuse of the body which has not been properly
expelled through the natural channels. But whatever the cause, the blood is
so weakened and polluted that it does not properly nourish and stimulate
the place, and the sore cannot heal. Salves, plasters, lotions, etc., keep the
sore or ulcer clean, relieve pain, and perhaps reduce inflammation, but can
never permanently heal them because they do not reach the blood. S. S. S.
goes down to the very fountain-head of the trouble,, drives out all poisons
ana germs, builds up the weak, sluggish blood, gives energy and strength
to the system, and by sending a fresh, healthy stream of blood to the diseased
parts, allows the ulcer to heal naturally and permanently. Nothing reaches
inherited taints like S. S. S. It cleanses the circulation of every trace of
hereditary disease or impurity, and those who have nursed and treated an old
sore for years will experience good results as soon as the system becomes
