Men srtdom mount at a single
bound
To the ladder's very top;
They must slowly climb It, round
by round,
With many a start and stop.
And the winner Is sure to be the
man
Who labors day by day;
For the world has found that
the safest plan
Is to keep on pegging away.
You have read, of course, about
the hare
And the tortoise the tale Is
old
How they ran the race It
counts not where
And the tortoise won we're
told.
The hare was sure he had time
to pause
And to browse about and
play;
So the tortoise won the race be-
cause
He Just Uept pegging away.

OV TO PENDLETON.
The news story in the East Oregon
oan today announcing that the Walla
Walla Traction company now has a
crew of surveyors at work on the ex
tension of that line from Freewater
toward Weston, confirms the predic
tions of this paper that the traction
company will build Into this city with
in a reasonably short time.
There is everything for the company
to build here for. Traffic would over
whelm the line within a few months
all the way through Umatilla county.
Pendleton Is the logical center of the
inland empire and the company must
come to Pendleton to get In position
rc command th business of this
growing territory.
The values of land wiU greatly In
crease all the way through Umatilla
county by the coming of this line.
New settlements will spring up, fami
lies will move out to the abandoned
ranches, schools will be maintained
at unexpected places and Umatilla
county will awaken to the true life
which awaits her.
Aril the line will not stop at Pen
dleton. Hermlston or Umatilla is the
ultimate goal. After leaving Pendle
ton the line would enter the rich Irri
gated section which Is Just coming
Into usefulness. From Pendleton
westward, as well as eastward, would
come a most thrilling activity and
new settlements would mark the now
forbidding sagebrush wastes.
And the Industrial developments
which would follow the coming of the
traction line to this city and on to
Umatilla would be but insignificant
compared to the social benefits to
be enjoyed. It would stimulate bo
ci:il Intercourse; It would Induce peo
ple to travel an l see and become ac
quainted; It would awaken the ex
cursion spirit; It would bring neigh
bors together, towns together and
counties together and would be a so
cial and educational uplift for this en
tire section of country.
PLANT TREES, DULD ROADS.
While the people in the Irrigated
.-(ctions of Umatilla county are mak
ing money at a rapid rate through the
Increase of land values, they can also
follow their sentimental ideals in
beautifying the country. No other
country on earth offers greater In
ducements to tr e growing and road-making-
than Umatilla county. The
snil produces abundantly and all the
semi-tropical varieties of trees will
prow rapidly uniK-r Irrigation.
In the Hermlsisin district the road
mnk!ng and tree planting spirit has
tnken hold and It is hoped that It
will be developed and encouraged,
vothlng will add more to the genu
ine value of that country than hedges,
lurks, shrubbery, shaded lanes, wide
boulevards and drives. It la an Ideal
country for uch and Hermlston and
UNION KiLAgEi
all of the west and of the county
will make a mistake if they do not
begin early to cultivate this side o
Industrial life.
Orchard and Farm says of a move
ment for the beautiflcation of the
waste pluces In southern California:
To beautify the bare, brown hill
of southern California with tret-a anJ
In fact, to turn the fringe of the des
crt Into a paradise. Is the wot thy a'.::
of the Monterey Tree-Growing club,
Not only for southern California alone
is the good work being urged, but aUo
for all other parts of the state in
'need of trees for shade and ornament
The club contemplates building
log clubhouse on its beautiful tract
within the town limits of Monterey
and the members will engage In an ac
tive propaganda for the beautifying of
the 'barren portions of the state.
H. A. Green has been elected torn
porary president, and he has issued a
little pamphlet giving details of the
work to be done by the club. He lias
on hand several hundred Monterey
Dine and redwood trees, growing in
tin cans, which will be In good con
dltlon for transplanting during the
comlne season. These trees will be
offered In exchange for other desira
ble kinds held by other tree-growing
clubs. The Monterey club will receive
orders for Monterey pines, to be de
livered next winter In any quantity.

President Greene says that possibly
the best native California tree for
street and road planting Is the chest
nut oak, our best tanbark tree (quer-
cus densifolia.)
ONE MODEL COUNTY.
There may be model counties In
more ways than one. There may be
models in financial condition, in pub
lic morals, In progressive methods, in
educational progress and otherwise,
but according to the Oregon Daily
Journal, Benton county combine all
these virtues Into one and may be
taken as the multiple model of Ore
gon, a combination of all the virtues.
a composite of everything good and
wholesome and sensible.
The Journal say3:
Benton county Is ont of debt. A'ida
from some violations of the local op
tion law, now suppressed, it is a coun
ty practically without crime. There
. but little litigation there. A term
of circuit court sometimes lasts but
a day or two.
The people, however, are not asleep,
but are industrially active and are be.
coming more and more enterprising.
There Is richer farming land to be
ad at a moderate price, much unim
proved land, timber land and many
streams. The climate Is almost per
fection and there Is "no booze In
Benton;" It is a dry county.
Where is there a better residence
county, a better one for American
homes. In the country? If there is a
better one it must be some other Or
egon county and we doubt if any of
these Is more than "Just as good."
Silt. GEER'S CASE.
Mr. Geer and his faction are mak
ing a lot of fuss about the Eust Ore
gonlan attempting to open political
sores In this campaign for the pur
pose of dividing the republican vote.
The East Oregonian is simply oppos
ing Mr. Geer because he came over
into the eastern Oregon district, after
tiylng for every other available of
fice, and within less than a year and
a half, became a candidate for con
gress. Mr. Geer himself opened the fac
tional sores when he did this thing.
He Is attempting to oust a pioneer
resident of this district from the of
fice which Justly belongs to him for
another term, at least, according to
all political usages.
In view of the fact that Mr. Geer's
faction In state politics defeated the
eastern Oregon candidate for gover
nor, In 1902, what greater affront
could Mr. Geer offer to the opposing
faction, if there Is one, than to come
to eastern Oregon and set himself up
as leader within a few months after
his arrival, and begin a fight to oust
a veteran of the district from the best
office in the district?
Who has opened the political sores
In eastern Oregon, then?
IlETTEK HUE PROTECTIO,.
As long as there are no fires and
danger seems distant. It is well enough
to laugh at the demand for better
fire protection In the city.
Pendleton is not what she was a
few years ago. All the central part
of the city has been built up and Is
now metropolitan In every respect
except, perhaps, In the matter of fire
protection.
No disastrous fires have occurred,
pnd those small blazes which have
been experienced have been handled
well by the excellent local fire depart- I
ment, thanks to the efficiency and
readiness of the boys,
But let a real fire visit the city and
put the fire apparatus to the extreme
test and Pendleton will be brought to
realize her true condition.
So when we look at the matter at
close range and try to Imagine what
would happen In a real, disastrous
fire in the city, the demand for bet
ter protection seems anything but Idle
talk. The recommendations of Flro
Chief Vaughan are worthy of the
most careful consideration of the
council and property owners.
THE MAKER OF DREAMS.
He also tolls who only dreams,
lie also serves who builds the beams
Of hope and fancy and far quest,
Who sings the songs that fill his
breast,
Who paints the picture, carves the
stone,
Touches the harp of divers tone
With mastering fever, magic skill,
Who climbs the peak and on the hill
Of dreaming sees with mystic ken
The far results of time for men!
He also tolls who only blows
The bubble where the blooms repose;
For, lo, the darkling ages see
At last the light that sets them free
The light, the glow, the glare, the
gleam.
The watehfires on the hills of dream
He lights who sings the golden lay,
Who lifts the lute and dares to play,
Who plies the brush and on his heart
Carves radiant messages of art,
Blows golden bubbles, starves and
bleeds
That men may turn his dreams to
deeds!

THE CAT IN THE MEAL TUB.
Richard Parson Hubson, congress
man from Alabama, as the result of
the notoriety he received by sinking
an old hulk In Santiago harbor, H
going over the country delivering lec
tures In which he declares that war
between the United States and Japan
is Inevitable and the bounded duty of
this country, If she would save herself
from destruction. Is to appropriate
50,000,000 a year building more bat
tleships. That's the cat In the meal
tub. Get up a war scare to frighten
the people and through them Induce
congress to make big appropriation.
It Is an old trick and generally works
well. As a matter of f.ict tnere is not
the slightest probability of a war with
Japan. That country h;is no desire or
ntention to attack us. Mr. Hobson
could be In much better business. Our
navy is large enough at. present for
11 purpoe. Instead of more money
to meet wars that vill never mater
ialize, it would be much better to de-
ote this $50,000,000 a year to the
purpose of peace. It it be devoted
to Improving our waterways and ben-
fitting agriculture. American Far

MARCH.
Hoarse the horns of the wind are
braying
Over the field of the rifted sky;
Ghostly gray in their rout dismaying,
Wrecks of the cloud-rack hurry by.
Sudden the sun through the pres9 Is
breaking,
Borne aloft In his burnished car.
Ruthless, unerring, his foes o'er tak
ing. Golden arrows he drives afar.
Swift are his shiits, and his wrath Is
burning,
Snowdrifts shrink that are white
with fear;
Now is her lord to the earth returning
Now Is the month of the war-god
here.

STATISTICS OF TURKEY.
Fra Eibertus Hubburd ha.s a new
reform scheme. He is showing up
the Turkish .y.Htem of reporting mor
tality statistics. Thus:
The French governor, wishing to
obtain definite statistics on points re
lating to certain Turkish provinces,
recently sent some blanks, with ques
tions to be answered. The replies
received from the pasha of Damascus
are worth quoting:
Question What Is the death rate In
your province?
Answer In Damascus, It is the will
of Ailah that all should die. Some die
young and some die old.
Question What Is the annual num
ber of births?
Answer God alone can ?ay. I do
not know, and hesitate to Inquire.
Question Are the supplies of water
sufficient and of good quality?
The
.General Demand
of the Well-informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant
and efficient liquid laxative remedy of
known value; a laxative which physi
cians could sanction for family use
because its component parts are
known to them to be wholesome and
truly beneficial la effect, acceptable
to the system and gantl. yet prompt,
in action.
In supplying that demand with Its
excellent combination of Syrup of
Figs and Elixir, of Senna, tbe Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies on the merits
of the laxative for its remarkable
success.
That Is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is
gtven the preference by the Well
informed. To get its beneficial effects
always buy the genuine manufac
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,
only, and for sale by all leading
iniKlBti. Price fifty cenU per bottle.

OIHGIN OF PEANUTS.
The peanut, which, strictly speak
ing, Is not a nut at all, but a ground
pea, has not been found In a truly
wild state, and hence Its historians
have found It difficult to fix upon its
habitat. In Africa during the 17th
century. It was extensively cultivated
and formed such an Important article
of native food that the slave dealers
loaded their vessels with It, using It
a food for their cargoes of captives.
While some botanists have attempt
ed to trace Its spread from China to
Japan, the weigfit of authority seems
to be in favor of accepting Is as a
r.ailve of Brazil. It was largely culti
vat.nl In the warmer portions of the
Old World long before Its merits were
recopiized In the land of Its origin,
assuming it to be a native of Ihe
Western Continent. The yearly pro
duction of peanuts in this country Is
4,000,000 bushels, which Just about
supplies the present demand In the
United States. Three-fourths of the
American crop Is sold through street
vendors..

"No, not much hurt," he made reply,
"But Ju.t pneumatic tired."
