He
Its
who possesses virtue at
beat.
Or greatness In the true sense
of the word,
Has one day started even
with that herd
Whose swift foet now speed but
at sin's behest.
It Is the same force In the hu
man breast
Which makes men gods or de
mons. If we gird
Those strong emotions by
which we are stirred
With might of will and purpose,
heights unguessed
Shall down for us; or if we give
them sway
We can sink down and consort
with the lost.
All" virtue Is worth Just the
price It cost:
Black sin la oft white truth that
missed its way
And wandered off In paths not
understood.
Twin-born J hold great evil
and great good.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
WTLVT PENDLETON TIAS DONE.
In the last five years the little city
of Pendleton has made more munici
pal improvements and progress than
.any other city In the northwest out
side of Portland. Seattle, Tacoma and
Spokane.
No matter how much she may be
ritlclspf! for not advertising In the
east, and how much she has neglected"
to "boom" her, she has a bona fide
record for public Improvements and
public subscriptions which stands un
challenged In the northwest.
Here are the big Items In the way
of city bonds Issued for Pendleton's
improvement:
Oricinal sewer bonds $30,000
Levee bonds 67.000
School houses 60,000
Street paving 60,000
City hall 40,000
Macadamizing 20,000
Street Intersections 18,000
Levee extension : . 10,000
Sewer extension 10,000
of the farmers. In hopes that the land
of the farming districts may bo- nuidu
more productive, that more crops may
be grown, that the soil forces may b
preserved and that land values may
be correspondingly advanced.
If you do not believe In the piaetl
cal methods advocated by the O. R. &
X. company you should attend the
meetings anyway. You will be bene
fited by association and closer ac
quaintance with the O. R. & X. offi
cials and the professors of your agri
cultural college who will accompany
the train.
ROSALIA HILL DEMONSTRATE.
The little town of Rosalia, Wash-
believes In making good what she ad
vocates; she believes in showing peo
ple that her theories are right and
practical and profitable and so she is
engaging in the experimental farm
business on her own responsibility.
With 500-acre and 1000-acre farms
all around her, she is going to take
0-aere field and make it productive
and demonstrate that It is not neces-
ary to own a section or "half section
In order to make a living and a good
profit. An Item from Rosalia says
of her experiment:
The Rosalia chamber of commerce
has secured a donation of 20 acres of
land adjoining town to be used as a
demonstration farm, and Is now ar
ranging for planting and cultivating it
n conformity with the theories of the
Washington State college agricultural
department.
The object Is to prove that divers!
fied farming will produce better re
turns from the soil than wheat rals
Ing. and that the large wheat farms,
cut ud Into smaller tracts, would
support a much larger population
han at present.
While there are now many farms of
from 500 to 1000 acres and more In
Whitman county, local real estate men
report that fully 73 per cent of In-
miries from incoming homeseeker
re for tracts of from 40 to 80 acres
On the other hand most of the larger
farmers prefer to add to rather than
crease their holdings, and fnr this
reason a very desirable class of citl
zrns are unable to secure nomes nere.
The chamber of commerce Intends
o demonstrate that practically every
arlety of the smaller farm products
an be successfully and profitably
grown here and thus induce the large
andowners to cut up their holdings
The state college agricultural depart
ment will act as advisory board.
They are not peculiar to our city, bu
belong generally to the later life o
our whole country.
' There are signs of an Increased loss
of public spirit and of Increasing fall
lire to meet obligations, accompanied
by a decline In mutual forbearance
.ind the Just recognition of each other's
lights. Hut In some of these respects
San Francisco has suffered to a pro
nounced degree. The Increasing
snuggle between capital and labor
needs to be composed. It ought to be
understood that there is no genera
conspiracy of capital against labor,
and that there can be none.
Those who lead the organizations of
aboMo believe that there Is, do them
a great Injury, ns well ns the public
at large. San Francisco has had an
undue share of harm from this source.
Every worklngmnn has a right, equal
ly with every capitalist, to an open
market, a right to the open shop. A
government that does not secure thb
Is a false pretense and It is not worth
what It coits.
THE HEART'S RETURN.
Total $315,000
Then beside the bonds Issued for
public improvements in the past five
years, as given above, a long list of
heavy public subscriptions have been
given for educational, charitable and
religious .purposes as will be seen by
the following list:
Heppner flood sufferers $ 2,500
San Francisco sufferers 5,000
District fair subscription .... 4,200
Pendleton academy fund 10,000
M E. church erected :. 30,000
Presbyterian church repaired. 5,000
Total $56,700
This makes a grand total of $381,700
given by the citizens of Pendleton for
municipal improvements, education
and charity, an amount which has not
been duplicated for these purposes by
any other city In the entire north
west, except the four largest cities
mentioned.
So after all Pendleton Is not to be
severely criticized for inactivity, sloth
fulness, lack of public spirit Pendle
ton has had no boom, but she has
grown slowly but steadily since she
first became a town. She wants no
boom, she wants no fictitious progress,
but she wants to continue to grow
substantially, steadily, permanently as
the Increasing business and settlement
of the surrounding country demands
It.
FARMERS ARE INVITED.
The farmers of Umatilla county are
urged to attend the meetings to be
held by the O. R. & N. company at
various points In the county on May
1$, on the occasion of the running of
the farmers' demonstration train.
The meetings will be held In the
car rn which the experts will lecture,
and practical talks on different farm
ing subjects will be given. These
lralfla are being run for the benefit
TESTING THE RECALL.
Senator Heitfeld, mayor of Living
ston, Idaho, Is having a little practl
ml exnerienee with the recall, which
vas authorized in the charter of Lew
Iston at his Instance.
The recall provision enables a per
centage of the voters, by petition, to
call upon an official to stand asid
until the people take a vote to deter
mine whether they want him to con
tinue In the office he holds, or pre
fer to' substitute another man.'
Not many cities of the United States
give themselves the privilege of the
rrcall, though it is coming into vogue
slowly. It Is permitted by the char
ter of Los Angeles. Des Moines has
recently adopted It. The South Da
kota legislature, at Its last session,
passed a law authorizing cities above
5000 to employ the, recall, at their
option.
The state will be interested In the
experiment as it is being worked out
In the case of Mr. Heltfield.
What Pendleton should do to adver
tise herself and bring more business
here is to appoint a committee to se
cure right of way for the electric road
from Athena to tv.is city and see that
that road does not stop zt .thena for
a couple of years to sap that district
for Walla Walla. Everything possi
ble should be done to encourage the
road to build to this city as quickly
ai possible. .And it should not stop
here, but should be rushed on to the
government Irrigation project, Hermls-
tcr Umatilla and Echo to bring those
points within a few minutes of Pendle
tcn, the county seat and trading center.
THE MIRACLE OF 'FRISCO.
Mayor Edward R. Taylor of San
Francisco, says of the miracle wrought
in the rebuilding of that city:
The plain story of restoration since
the fire seems like a fairy tale. In
the period of nearly two years the
building operations filed exceed $90,-
000,000. In the case of almost every
building the cost exceeds the original
estimate. So we may safely assume
that the buildings erected since the
fire have cost about $100,000,000.
As near as can be ascertained, all
but $4,000,000 of this vast sum Is local
money. San Francisco can thus point
to a great commercial success and to
many civil successes, rn spite of her
troubles and disasters.
If she has not yet had all the suc
cesses that we hoped she would have.
It Is well to recognize this and to re
alize what the causes have been.
When darkened hours come crowd
Ing fast,
A thought and all the dark li
past!
For I am back a boy again,
Knee-deep In heading barley In t
Mendocino glen.
I can not ever be so sad
Cut one thing still will make me
glad
That hid spring In the Sulsun hills:
My heart keeps going back to it thro'
all the earthly Ills.
How often when the brood of care
Would hold me In a hopeless snare
My soul springs winged and away,
Remembering that wild duck's nest
above Benlcia bay!
Or
I
night finds me toiling
again on the greening
when
still,
am back
hill,
A shepherd boy at set of sun,
Folding his happy sheep and knowing
all his tasks are done.

NATURE'S PR0TECTI0H AGAINST DISEASE
The preservation of health and prevention against disease 1 almost
entirely dependent upon pure, healthy blood j every organ, tissue, nerve and
sinew of the body draws on this vital fluid for nourishment and strength.
Poisons, humors and germs from various sources often get Into the blood,
and then this great lifc-streara becomes a source of infection ana disease,
instead of a nourishing, health-sustaining fluid. Heredity is likewise an
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 seme time in life. Not only poisons in the blood
are responsible for disease, but when the circulation is run down and becomes
poor and weak in quality, then we see the effect in a general bad condition
of health, such as weakness, sallow complexions, toils, and various 6lcin
eruptions. All blood troubles require a tonic and blood purifier, and none
otuer equals a. s. a. it goes aown io me
very foundation of the trouble, and removes
every particle of the poison or impurity from
the blood. And not only does 8. S. S.
antidote the poisons, humors and germs, but
it possesses health-giving, tonic properties,
which build up and strengthen weak, impov
erished blood, and fortifies the system against
disease. S. S. S. permanently cures Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers.
Scrofula, Eczema, Tetter, and all other skin diseases and disorders. Book

WHO WILL UK THE NEXT
PHKSIDEXT OF THE SENATE?
So certain is Ben Selling's election to
the state senate thought that he is al
ready being considered as the presi
dent of the senate In the legislative
session to be held at Salem next win
ter, says the Telegram. Whether
Selling can be elected president Is
of course a matter for debate at this
time, but he would be satisfactory to
nearly all the statement No. 1 men
lected to the senate.
As a rule, a newly elected senator
Is not made president, this being an
honor that goes to a senator in the
second session of his term. Tom Kay.
senator from Marlon county, has long
ovetod the presidency and would like
to fill the chair next winter. He may
not step aside for Selling. Senator
Bingham, too, has cast longing eyes
t the post of presiding officer. Sen
tor Beach of Multnomah, would
have a number of votes for the place
If he would begin a campaign for
the presidency. All these, however,
while possible contenders, are not
taken into consideration by the
friends of Selling, who are anxious to
see him president. Selling is familiar
with the work of the senate, as he wai
a member of that body 10 years ago.
A KONG OF THE NIGHT.
O, wind of the night, blow full and

O, wind of the night, blow near;
For- the night is drear,
And the low, sweet cheer
Of th(. wind 1 rest for me.
O, stars of the night, shine full and
free,
O, stars of the night, shine on;
For the ruthless sun
Of the day Is gone,
And the stars are rest for me.
O, peace of the night, comefull and

O, peace of the night, come In;

Of the day begin.
O, night, give thy peace to me!

CAUItY WATER 217 MILES.
A stupendous undertaking Is the
Owens rivers aqueduct, says a Los An
geles Item. By this aqueduct Los An.
peles is to secure pure water In suf
ficient quantities to supply the city
when It has a population of l.OOO.OwO
people. To do this an aqueduct has
been constructed 217 miles long nnd
with a capacity of 400 cubic feet of
water per second.
Chief Engineer Mulholland states
that the work will be completed at
the rate of a mile a week. The esti
mated cost of the Owens river aque
duct will be about $23,000,000. The
city of Los Angeles has already auth
orized the issuance of bonds amount
ing to $24,500,000.
The hydro-electric plant at Cotton
wood creek, 210 miles from Los Ange
les, to cost, with transmission lines,
approximately $190,000, Is under con
struction and the work is progressing
satisfactorily.
WOII.D HELP DIG CANAL.
Hermann Llnde, who, some years
ago, was well Known in m. LiOuis as
in art connoisseur and a Shakespear
ean recltatlonlst. close rriena or me
late Charles Parsons and others Inter
ested In fine art, has turned his gen
ius and abilities to other things, says
a wash ngtrm aisnaicn. a leuer re
ceived from him by Representative
Bartholdt today Is written on a letter
head of the Rocky Mountain Tunnel
In and Mining company. Hermann
Linde, president.
Mr. Llnde claims to have a tunnel
ing machine which would dig tne
Panama canal quicker than any other
device ever Invented. The only trou
ble is, the machine has never been
built, and he can not get the govern
ment or Colonel L. Goethals to give It
trial until he has built the machine
and shipped it at his own expense to
the canal zone. In his letter today.
Mr. Llnde stated that if he had the
machine built there was millions or
dollars worth of work In sight In the
Rocky mountains, hence there would
be no necessity for going to the Pan
ama country to try It out. There's the
rub if he only had a machine built.
A MOTHER
Is an ordeal which all
women approach with
indescribable fear, for
nothing compares with
the pain and horror of
child-birth. The thought
of the suffering and danger in store for her, robs the expectant mother
of all pleasant anticipations of the coming event, and casts over her a
shadow of gloom which cannot bo shaken off. Thousands of women
have found that the use of Mother's Friend during pregnancy robs
confinement of all pain and danger, and insures safety to life of mother
and child. This scientific liniment is a god-send to all women at the
time of their most critical trial. Not only does Mother's Friend
carry women safely through the perils of child-birth, but its use
gently prepares the system for the coming event, prevents "morning
sickness," and other (lis- '
