TO PROPERTY owners:
On next Monday evening Pendleton
Commercial association will hold a
monster mass meeting to see what
can be done to Inject new life into
the city. At present things are drag
ging along In a rut. The woolen mill
Is Idle where it should be running,
ar.d employing 40 people. A num
ber of vacant houses and store build
ings are found in the town and few
new people are coming in. .
Something is the matter, notwith
standing Pendleton's excellent record
and excellent location and far-reaching
reputation as a business, banking
and trading center.
Here is what is the matter: The
leading property owners, the men who
own the principal buildings In the city
take but slight Interest In the affairs
of Pendleton Commercial association
and depend upon their tenants to do
the boosting for the town and keep
things moving.
If the town goes down who will suf
fer? The landlord, of course, and
not the renter. Then Is not the land
lord, the property owner, the man to
see that Pendleton does not go down?
The tenant can go elsewhere and rent
another building and engage in busi
ness, but the Pendleton property
owner is the man who must stay
here and suffer any deterioration or
dullness or stagnation.
So here is what -must te done: Thi
large property owners of Pendleton,
the men who are drawing the rents
and paying the taxes, mut wake up.
They must realize that they arc to be
the heaviest losers If Pendleton goes
down. Their entire property Is at
stake. T"hey must suffer whatever
loss comes.
The East Oregonian is not going to
speak disparagingly of anybody, but
in order to set the facts emphatically
Tcfore the city, it Is necessary to speak
plainly. There Is a large number of
the largest property owners In the city
who scarcely ever go near the Com
mercial association and who take no
active part in its affairs, whatever.
Among these men are W. F. Mat
lock, Charles Urownfleld, J. R. Pick
son, I). F. Kenn, Joe Basler, Joe Ell,
James Crawford, John Schmidt, the
Odd Ktllowo' lodge, the O. R. & X.,
J. M. Ferguson, C. F. Colesworthy,
th Eagles' buiidlr.g, the Bowman ho
tel, the Golden Rule hotel building,
Hotel St. Georgy, Gus La Fontaine, C.
C. Hendricks, John Temple, the De
spaln building and many others who
own large interests In the city.
Any two or three of these men
could istart Pendleton woolen mills
within a few hours by putting their
sliould'-r to the wheel and loaning
somebody with experience sufficient
funds to start with. This would era
p.oy 40 people, would fill up 15 or
20 vacant dwellings, circulate several
thousand dollars per month and
would stimulate business In every
way.
The property owner and not the
tenant Is the man who Is Interested.
He must suffer. His property depre
ciates In value If the town stops grow
ing and it Is up to him to get Into
the harness ami help get new settlers
and start new enterprises.
Everybody admits thnt Pendleton Is
in the heart of the best country In the
west and U most favorably located.
If she does not grow and prosper It
will bo the fault of a few men who
own large property Interests, but who
refuse to take an active part In keep
ing the town'allve.
So when the mass meeting for
I costing Pendleton Is held on Monday
right, and on every other meeting of
l'endloton Commercial association,
these "heavy property owners should
be present to take part. They are
the interested parties. They have
their investments at stake and they
must do something to keep Pendleton
going ahead.
This editorial Is not intended to
hurt anybody's feelings In this mat
ter and It is not a "roast," but It Is a
plain business talk with business men
who are equally Interested with the
East Oregonian In the growth of this
beautiful city. 'There must be re
newed interest, a co-operation In Fcn
dleton. The landlords must come
and take part. They will suffer If the
town stops growing or deteriorates.
REMEDY TOR RIG FARMS.
Everybody knows that the big
farms of Umatilla county are a posi
tive drawback to the county, while
they may be highly profitable to their
owners. As the land Is accumulated
ir.to a few hands homes are abandon
ed, school houses locked up and dis
tricts allowed to lapse.
The farms arc handled by a few
hired men, but these are no addition
to the country settlements. The fami
lies that once occupied the big farms
before they became the property of
one man, have either moved to the
towns or out of the county and state
entirely. The country settlements
are running down every year.
But what Is the remedy? How
are you going to prevent men from
Investing In wheat land? Who shall
deny any citizen the right to buy out
his neighbor If he can?
Although this program may kill the
county as a home district and may
stop the growth of the towns, who
will dare to lift a hand against the
program? These farmers own their
land legitimately. They earned their
money honestly and have a right to
spend it for more land, automobiles
or in any other Investment which
pleases them.
There Is but one remedy wilch may
be applied by legislation and that is
the graduated land tax a tax which
will make It unprofitable to own more
than a certain amount of productive
land. This will stop land monopoly
quicker and more surely than any
ether remedy.
But how many of the people of
I'matilja county, or Oregon will vote
tc enact a graduated land tax? With
the remeday within their grasp how
many have the courage to put the
remedy Into effect? It is a big ques
tion. But it is a question which every
old settled section must meet some
time. As the land Is needed by home
less people, society will simply be
forced to adopt some protective and
remedial measure which will stop
monopoly.
With a system of electric lines cov
ering Umatilla county and the county
cut up Into small tracts the popula
tion would be quadrupled. With the
present big farms the wheat belt will
stand where it is today. Progress Is
Impossible.
But who will have the courage to
apply the remedy for the big farm?
HELP PENDLETON SCHOOLS.
There are scores of wealthy farm
ers in Umatilla county who are wil
ling to give large sums of money for
the advancement of education. These
men have made their money In Uma
tilla county and have their homes In
this county and the East Oregonian
appeals to them to make Umatilla
county schools the objects of their
beneficent charity.
No need to go outside of the state
or even outside of the county to find
worthy educational institutions which
need endowments, and which can be
tullt up to become monuments to
Umatilla county's enterprise and en
lightenment. Pendleton academy and St. Jo
seph's academy of thlB city are wor
thy of your support. They are both
educating large numbers of young
people free, jvhlle the cost to those
who pay Is but small.
Jf you have money to give to edu
cation, give It to Umatilla county
schools. Let us build them up and
make them permanent. . Let us place
them In an Independent position
where they can be self-supporting and
on a permanent basis.
W. T. Shaw, the pioneer Irrigator of
Hudson bay, Is out for the legislature
on a statement No. 1 platform and
will make an active canvass of the
county during the coming month.
Mr. Shaw la a pioneer and substantial
cltlxen of the east end of the county
and is out on one of tho nwi popu
lar platforms that ever engaged t In
attention of the American people,
and It Is predicted by many that h
will be elected on tho first day of
.tune. Other counties in the state are
putting out Independent statement
No. 1 candidates and and the move
ment is general all over the state to
secure a large majority for the popu
lar election of senators In the next
legislature.
Since the editorial page of the East
Oregonian is today devoted princi
pally to the discussion of the growth
of Pendleton and Umatilla county, II
may be called a booster's edition.
Boosting Is always a timely topic and
If a town does not boost It will die.
So Pendleton property owners may
take their choice.
THE IDEAL LEADER,
He is one who counts no public toll

As Idly glittering pleasures One

By no mob's .haste nor swayed by
gods of gold.
Prizing, not courting, all Just men's
regard,
With none but man hood's ancient or
der starred
Nor crowned with titles less august
and old
Than human greatness. Large
brained, limpid souled.
Whom dreams can hurry not nor
doubts retard.
Born, nurtured of the people, living
still
The people's life and though their
noblest flower.
In naught removed above them, savt.
alone
In loftier virtue, wisdom, courage,
power,
The ampler vision, the serener will.
And the fixed mind, to no light dak

THE HATES OF SPRING.
The flutes of spring are all in tune
And playing everywhere."
Oh, crystal-clear and ripple-toned
They sound along the air.
The long arpeggios of the sun
Sweep over hill and plain.
And in the misty valleys sound
The runs and trills of rain. ,
Wild melodies of strolling winds
Go swift across the sky,
The young-leafed wood Is loud with
calls,
Where nesting robins fly.
Some spirit roams upon the earth,
New-born, wing-sandalled, free.
And for him, where he strays, the
flutes
Pour out their melody.
Then listen to the tune of them
That play at April's birth.
Whose call Is to the waking heart
From the deep soul ot earth.

Women Who Wear WelL
It is astonishing how great & change a
few years of married life often muko In
tho appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, tho charm, tho
brilliance vanish like tho bloom from a
peach which Is rudely handled. Tho
matron Is only a dim shadow, a faint echo
of tho charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, iguoranco and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to tho system through the
change which comes with marriage- and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
tho unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often como with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain Is robbing the cheek
of Its freshness and the form of Its
fairness.

PLANT TREES:
The suggestion Is frequently mnde
that out-of-the-way places should be
utilized by planting fruit trees, there
by securng a return from lands now
unproductive, says the poentello
Tribune.
This plan contemplates that fence
rows and fence corners shall be
planted to fruit trees, and that where
brush now holds possesion trees full
of apples, cherries or plums shall be
seen. At first thought the Idea seems
a good one, for undoubtedly there arc
many small strips and corners on
Idaho farms where fruit trees could
be planted.
Hut modern conditions of fruit
growing make the plan Impracticable.
A fruit tree planted In u corner or
close to a fence must be a neglected
tree. The farmer cannot plow
around it or cultivate It to maintain
thrifty growth. Itrush grows up
around It and since the tree does not
present a thrifty appearance, prun
ing Is neglected. Because It is close
to a fence In the brush, he cannoi
get around It conveniently to spray
It.
As a consequence It soon becomes
a breeding place for fruit pests and
a producer of unmarketable fruit.
Instead of planting close to a fence,
the first row of trees In an orchard
should be at such a distance as to
permit thorough cultivation on nil
