Interest some years later, a case of
breach of trust and plain stealing
from the stockholders of the corpor

that have grown out of the corpora

Burn, little candle, lit for me,
With a pure flame, that I

To word my song and utterly

If life be as a flower that

Forbid the cunning frost

With Judas kiss, and trust-

Forever may my song of

Untainted rise.
If life be as a voyage, foul or

Oh, bid me not my banners

ENTENTE CORDLALE.
Amid showers of cherry blossoms
Portland and Lewlson entered Into an
entente cordlale, or glad hand society,
last week, which presages good re
sults for both Portland and the In
Jand empire of which Lewiston and
her tributary territory form a large
part.
The completion of the Lewlston-Rl-parla
or Snake river cut-off on the
O. R. & X., marks an epoch In the
history of the inland empire.. It
means much to Portland and It
means more to Lewiston. Portland
needs the products of that rich ter
ritory and Lewiston needed the better
transportation facilities which that
line affords and so the benefits are
mutual.
The completion of that line means
that Portland will now draw heavily
on territory heretofore claimed by
Seattle and Tacoma. With the O. R
& X. and north bank lines penetrating
the eastern Washington territory
thousands of tons of freight which
formerly went over the Cascade
mountains to the sound, will now
be whirled down the water grade to
Portland.
This all points to the commercial
supremacy of Portland on the north
Pacific coast and means a more rapid
development of the inland empire ter
ritory. So all of the inland empire has
cause to rejoice in this good fellow
ship society formed at Lewiston. We
are all members. We are all to share
in the benefits which are to come oi
the entente cordlale.
DON'T HE A KNOCKER.
The active advertising of the west
end of I'matilla' county Is bringing
many land hunters to the county,
and nine-tenths of these investors
come to Pendleton before going out
to look at the land and irrigation
projects.
The East Oregonlan Is ashamed to
say It, but It finds that every day a
handful of curbstone knockers are at
work In this city trying l discourage
these people In going to Hermlston,
Echo and that locality. The new
comers are told that they will not be
able to get sufficient water to produce
crops; that the wind blows the soil
away; that the country can never be
successfully Irrigated and all such
rot
In heaven's name, why do these
knockers persist In discouraging peo
ple who are here to Invest? What
complaint have they against the Irri
gation companies? Are they simply
Jealous and "sore" because they have
nothing to sell? Are thfy natural
born knockers and parasites or what
Is. the matter?
Let us begin to boost Umatilla
county, all together. Quit knocking
those who have land to sell and who
are- advertising and bringing In new
people. Quit telling strangers the
dark side of It; quit being a sore
head. Every new settler added to the west
end of Umatilla county means a new
patron for Pendleton. This Is the
county seat and will always be, and
will naturally be the chief commer
cial and banking center of the coun
ty. So let us help locate new settlers
Instead of discouraging them.
To the new-comers who meet these
knockers, the East Oregonlan would
say: Don't stop to listen to such a
parasite. He Is jealous of the active
people who are doing things; he has
nothing to sell and he spends his
time knocking other people's sales
Don't get down on the knocker's
level by listening to his lies. Go and
see for yourself. Growing crops and
running water are evidences which
cannot be disputed. Go out over the
projects and convince yourself that
these curbstone knockers are simply
professional bloodsuckers. And when
ever you deaf with one of them look
out.
CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.
There Is scarcely a day that this
uaper dots -not receive some tainted
news from the Taft press bureau,
setting forth In glowing fashion the
rosy prospects of Big Bill for secur
ing the republican nomination for the
presidency, says the Southern Oregon
lan. Everything Is going for Taft,
according to these reports, and they
come by every mail.
It is said, and on good authority,
tha.t more money is being spent on
Tart's pre-nomlnatlon campaign than
was ever spent on such a campaign
before. The country is filled with
agents for Taft, and not even Hearst
had as well an organized, campaign
under way months previous to nomi
nation day.
Who Is putting up the money?
The need of a law governing the
publication of all contributions made
for the election of representatives or
presidential electors, as provided in
the McCall bill, which Speaker Can
non always a faithful servant of the
Interests will squelch, Is apparent
Only the other day Thomas F. Ry
an, the transit millionaire, told the
grand Jury that several hundred thou
sand dollars contribution wu made to
the campaign fund In 1898 by himself
and four associates Dolan, Whitney,
Wldener and Elkins and admitted
. that the money was to be used to help
FARMERS FOR THE UNIVERSITY.
The leading farmers of Umatilla
county are all in favor of supporting
the University of Oregon and few of
them will vote against the appropri
ation. While the grange started the move
ment against the university appropri
ation, yet that organization does not
have the sympathy of support of the
rank and file of the substantial farm
ers of the state.
In Umatilla county, and In other
counties as well, the farmers' sons
and daughters are students of the
university in large numbers. They
are proud of the institution, proud of
the educational advantages it offers
and are glad that Oregon U showing
e. willingness to Improve and strength
en the university.
Therefore, Instead of voting against
an appropriation which would In
crease the advantages of the Institu
tion, these farmers are going to vote
for the appropriation. They want to
see the institution grow and expand.
They want their sons and daughters
to have equal advantages with stu
dents of surrounding states. They do
not wish to bear the odium of having
throttled educational progress.
Ing up and within another year sev
eral hundred machines will be own
ed In the county.
Let us closely regulate speed and
exercise the utmost care, so we may
point with prldo to the fact that no
fatalities mar the Umatilla county
record.
AITOMOBILISTS.
It seems necessary to again call at
tention of automoblllsts to the dan
gers of running at a rapid rate of
speed In the city. Twice this week
women have narrowly escaped being
run down on Court street by beginners
who were practicing with new ma
chines.
Somebody will get killed or maim
ed by this reckless driving and au
tomoblllsts should themselves see that
their fellow drivers are more careful.
Prejudice against the automobile Is
being constantly reduced, but If seri
ous accidents happen or Injuries occur
this prejudice will be Increased.
Umatilla county Is the leading au
tomobile county In the northwest,
cutslde of th big cities and special
precautions should be taken for the
protection of the public. Many more
ew machines will be sold In this
county. The market la Just now open-
A love-crazed lunatic and a gun are
both extremely dangerous, but a com
bination of the two is something to be
dreaded In any community. Xobody
knows where or when this murderous
combination is liable to break loose.
If you can't say a good word for
the town, do the next best thing
keep still.

LIMITATION.
We think to drive the horses of the
sun, .
And rise the common herd of men
above;
But glad are we, when all Is said and
done.
To rule the kingdom of one heart
with love.
We think to search the midnight's
vast of skies.
And find upon Its native height the
truth;
But glad are we. If In one baby's
eyes,
We see the stars of beauty and of
youth.
We think with notes of some great
song to shake
The world and bid the iron ages
hear;
But glad are we, If dying echo wake,
Response In Just one heart of
friendship near.
We think to play the God, and sit and
show
On high Olympus all our power
august;
But glad are we, If when we've fallen
low,
We've strength to rise again from
out the dust!

OUR NATIONAL WEALTH.
In round figures we have 3.000, 00

000 square miles of the world's area.
We have a population of 86,000.000,
or a fraction over 6 per cent of the
world's. With an area of 5.9 per cent
of the world's, "and a population of
5.2 per cent, we are raising annually
43 per cent of the world's total pro
duction of wheat, corn and oats.- .
Of corn alone one of the most Im
portant cereals known to mankind
we are producing 78.8 per cent; of
tobacco we are raising 31.1 per cent,
and of cotton "1.3 per cent. Thus, In
agriculture the starting point of ma
terial progress, since man must nrsi
be fed and clotheU Is found an Il
lustration of our position.
This agricultural supremacy Is
fully matched In minerals and manu
factures. Taking he most recent
available figures, which Include a

made last year over 12 per cent of
the world's Iron production, or 27,

We mined 455,000,000 tons of coal
