and speed upon it way. For

should find me where I alt.
I'm only going to think the kind
I'd like to get by mail, where
hearts and flowers and lacy
stuff and "I love you" prevail.
I'd hate to get a "comic" I'd
be 'shamed to send a Jeer I

WHERE ARE THEY GOING.
Since gambling has been closed In
every . larger tow n In Oregon, where
are the tinhorns to go? Who is go
ing to welcome them? -Who Is going
to give them the privilege of conduct
ing the'r nefarious business?
They cannot roost In Baker City,
La Grande. Pendleton, Astoria, Eu
. gene or any other good town In Ore
gon. So they will drift out to places
like Pilot Rock. Eeho, Umatilla,
Athena, Weston. Helix and other ex
cellent smaller towns of Oregon.
There they will operate all the va
rious phases of their trade. Because
there will be" but one or two or per
haps not more than a half dozen in
a place, people will say that they can
do but little harm. . But wait.
The boy? of the little towns w'll be
brought into direct touch with them,
They hf-ar the fairy tales of fabulous
winnings. They will r gambling
and carousing and their lives will
ha b-fn started on the downward
path.
So are you going to tolerate them,
Pil t Rork. Echo. He!lx. Athena,
Weston or Umatilla? Are you going
to have it said that th s parasite can
stay with you when he can stay no
where else?
Let us have a spring house clean
ing1 under the local option law In
Umatilla county this spring. Let the
small towns of Umatilla county get
together and put the tinhorn out. It
require but a small grain of cour
age to oust them. Any illegitimate
business is a cowardly business and
anybody w'th a little backbone can
put a whole army of tinhorns on the
run.
RAKER CITY ENTERPRISE.
We can overlook the yawning
prospect holes, the tell-tale mining
ventures which have left the tender
foot stranded in Baker City, in her
excellent advertising enterprise which
has just been started.
BJker City has raised $2600 with
which to print and distribute a large
amount of literature concerning that
locality. She is going to place this
literature in the hands of actual
homeseekera in the eastern and cen
tral states, and she will get results.
This enterprise is especially com
mendable following so closely upon
the closing of gambling. The town
will now take on new life. New peo
ple will come in. The Incubus of the
tinhorn will disappear. The "bid fogy
Idea that gambling is necessary to
the business life of the town will
vanish and a purer, more healthy,
more elevated civic spirit will take
hold of Baker City.
Her advertising enterprise should
stimulate other towns to a like ac
tivity. If It will pay Baker City to
advertise w'th the. 'little she has to
offer the homeseeker, it will certain
ly pay towns having vast Idle areas
of land waiting for settlers to adver
lute In a like manner.
PENDLETON ATTRACTS.
Every day the East Oregonlan re
ceive one letter or more, asking for
Information concerning Pendleton
and Umatilla county. Thla morning
It was a letter to the editor asking
for an Illustrated article for a maga
ilne on Pendleton and her Indians.
Yesterday It was from a homeseeker
asking for land prices and opportu
nities for making a living for a fam
ily and so on every day throughout
the .weeks, somebody writes to this
office for Information.
Today Major Lee Moorhouse receiv
ed a long letter from a young lady
who became Infatuated with one of
his Indian pictures and who express
ed a most fervent desire to see a real
Indian on his native heath. Dozens
of letters of this sort reach -Major
Moorhouse and others who have tak
en ,a large part In advertising Pen
dleton to the world and all these
little particles of fact make up the
wide-spread popularity and promi
nence of the city..
When you can give out anything
which will fling Pendleton's name to
the breeze, do it. When you 'can say
a good word or give a kind thought
which will make a friend for the city
and county, do It. It is In this way
that we get back most excellent returns.
THE WOMEN WHO WORK.
Pendleton employs more women as
teachers, clerks, solicitors, collectors
and in other professional and com
mercial lines than any other city in
the Inland f-mp're and she is proud of
them.
Every store in the city has Its
large quota of women clerks book
keepers, cashiers and seamstresses.
Every office has its office girl and
stenographer and In perhaps. 90 per
cent of the business houses of the
city are to be found women or girls
regularly employed.
It gives a fine tone, a high stand
aid to the business atmosphere to
have so many women engaged In ac
tive work. There is an incentive to
refinement, good order and cheerful
ness in the presence of women and
In no other place on earth has this
Incentive been so far-reaching and
effective as in the business world.
Pendleton is proud of her girls
who work. It is an elevating, noble
thought to think, that In this advanc
ed day and nge there Is a place for
woman in the active business and
professional circles of the world, after
so many centuries of bigotry and
prejudice and It Is also good to know
that there are fine, superb women to
fill this place.
IRRIGATION A SUCCESS.
Secretary of the Interior Garfield,
speaking of Irrigation, said In an In
tervlew recently:
This work has advanced far enough
to demonstrate absolutely Its success
We have seen fruits, vegetables, grair
and everything else growing on land:
where nothing but cactus ever grew
before the day of irrigation.
There are 80,000,000 acres of. these
arid lands all told. We have com
pleted the Irrigation work on 1,000.
000 acres.
As soon as they get the water they
arc as fertile as any soil.
So far we have worked chiefly on
the public lands, although adjacent
private property will beneft. This
land is turned over" to settlers under
a homestead act, although the old
160-acre allotment is not adhered to.
The size of the lot is determined by
Ite fertility, 20 or 40 acres in most
cases.
The' settlers take these lots with
the understanding that they are to
pay back to the government the cost
of the Irrigation Improvements, be
ginning as soon as the water is turn
ed on. They also have to pay the
cost of maintaining, which amounts
to 60 cents an acre.
Under this arrangement the money
advanced by the government will all
be returned to It and it can be put
out again In other territories until all
the arid lands have been made fer
tile. THE CATHOLIC VIEW.
The Catholic Sentinel of Portland,
one of the leading Catholic papers In
the northwest, takes a most advanc
ed ground on the popular election of
United States senators and the East
Oregonlan takes pleasure in publish
ing the following excellent editorial
upon the subject from the last issue
of that progressive paper:
It In difficult to understand how
anyone having the best Interests of
Oregon at heart could desire to go
back to the old method of choosing
United States senators.
The election of Senators Mulkey
and Bourne was accomplished with
little delay, with no attempt at brib
ery, or even a thought of such a
thing. The legislature was able to
devote Its attention to matters of in
terest to the state.
From every point of ' view the
nomination of senators by the' peo
ple has proved successful. The
people have no reason to change the
practice Inaugurated two years ago.
If they are wise they will not listen
tc Interested politicians who find
their occupation gone because there
Is no, sack to be looted.
The talk about the unconstitution
ality of the law need disturb no one.
The validity of senatorial elections
under the Oregon method cannot be
questioned, because the electoral ma
chinery provided by the constitution
Is oontlnued in force.
Honest reformers have been trying
for years to secure direct election by
the people of United States senators.
The old system Is known to be the
occasion of great and widespread cor
ruption. The people of Oregon have
found a way to obviate the evils
of the ld system.
Let us make use of our discovery
and vote only for those legislative
candidates who will support the
choice of the people.
We get back what we send out. If
we hate we reap hatred; if we love,
we reap love ;lf we expect defeat',
ten chances to one we will be de
feated. Pendleton will be at Portland's
Rose Show, to be sure. Will Port
land be at Hermiston's excursion this
spring?
Smile, any way. An ugly valentine
never killed anybody.
FORBIDDEN MESSAGES.
It seems strange that even now
there are many restrictions on th
use of as ordinary a thing as a cable
or telegraph wire. Yet It is true that
nobody Is permitted to send to or
through Portugal anything having to
do with the deeds or thoughts of an
archists and that code messages of
any kind are forbidden lit Tripoli,
Bosina, Ronmella, Roumnnla, Herze
govina, Bulgaria and other Balkan
states.
After that It seems unnecessary' to
mention that Turkey forbids code
messages, but It is a little surprising
to find that you can send a message
to most parts "of Persia In only one
language that is French and it
you address most places in the land
of the shah your message will be
translated into the tongue of Gaul
and diplomacy when tt reaches Tehe
ran. THE HAIJi OF FAME.
Wait not for Luck to draw the bolt
Nor Chance give up her key.
The door that opened for the great
Is open yet for thee.
Luck is a sleepy sentinel
And Chance a fickle light.
Many a man hath passed them both
And entered In the night. ,
Have little care if neither heed
Thy clamor, call or din.'
Take up the magic torch and key
And let thine own self In!
Aloyslus Coll.
WHAT THE CZAR COULD NOT DO.
The czar of Russia was visiting the
king of Denmark, and upon one of
their drives around Copenhagen, the
king pointed out to the czar a certain
high tower.
"Now," said the czar, "how much
power have you over your subjects?
Could you command one of your
poorest subject to climb to the top
of that tower and Jump off?"
"No." said the king; "but I coula
go and sleep in that poor subject's
hut and be a welcome guest." And
the czar was silent. Pick-Me-Up.
GRAFTING IS UNPOPULAR.
Time was, not so very long ago,
Vhen the people of the west sympa
thized with land sharks who were
prosecuted by the government, and
one might hear people say; "I'm so
sorry. He Is such a nice man, and
it seems too bad to make an example
of him when nearly everyone does the
same thing."
The public conscience, however. Is
awakening, and instead of the cul
prits receiving sympathy, men like
Heney are admired. Spokane Chron

SHE MUST HAVE A POCKET.
A woman must have a pocket or
some place to put her money and
Jewelry while away from home, and
a manufacturer has turned out a" new
kind of hose with a pocket knitted
on the outside. It can't be called the
handiest pocket, but preferable to
none at nil, and the little pocket Is
so deep and so firmly clasped that
there Is absolutely no danger of the
money slipping out. Ex.
The West Side Enterprise, publish
ed at Independence, Polk county, has
changed hands. E. Ralston, who has
been editor for the past 18 months',
has sold his Interests to Hicks and
Fogle, experienced newspaper men.

NATURE'S PROTECTION AGAINST DISEASE
Tht preservation of health and prevention against disease la almost
entirely dependent upon pure, healthy blood ; every organ, tissue, nervt and
lnew of the body draws on this vital fluid for nourishment and strength.
Poisons, humors and germs from various sources often get Into tha blood,
and then this great life-stream becomes a source of infection and disease,
Instead of a nourishing, health-sustaining fluid. Heredity is likewise tn
important factor, regulating the quality of the blood. Some persons are born
with tainted blood from diseased ancestry, and Scrofula in one of its numerous
forms is sure to crop out some time in life. Not only poisons in the blood
are responsible for disease, but when the circulation is run down andbecomes
poor and weak in quality, then we see the effect in a general bad condition
of health, such as weakness, sallow complexions, boils, and various skin
eruptions. All blood troubles require a tonic and blood purifier, and none
other equals S. S. S. It goes down to the
PURELY
VEGETABLE
disease. S. S. S. permanently cures Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers,
Scrofula, Eczema, Tetter, and all other skin diseases and disorders. Book

CUTTING SALARIES AT THE TOP
The big railway companies do wall
m beginning at the top to cut down
sularles, rather than at the bottom
to reduce wages. A reduction of 10
per cent In. the pay of persons receiv
ing $166 a month will be much less
perceptible In the purchasing power
of the people concerned than a sim
ilar reduction In persons whose
wages amount to one-third of that.
The Baltimore & Ohio and the South
ern Railway have both cut salaries 10
per cent, above a certain . minimum,
leaving undisturbed all below this
minimum. This will affect the va
rious business Interests directly re
lated to transportation mucn less se
verely than If the cut had begun at
