" The great question U, What shall I do to release energy to desired activities? How shall I order my life that I may grow greater, wiser, more useful? Easy enough set your mind on desirable things and keep on resetting It every time you catch it flying the track; keep on do- Ing it until your mind acquires the habit of dwelling on the Desirable Things. Your feelings tell you quick-. ly when you are touching the wrong button even if your mind has not learned to dls- tingulsh desirable thoughts from undesirable ones. Blues and depressions and 111 feelings mean change your thought. They never mean any- thing else. William E. Towne. THE ASSOCIATION' AT WORK. A3 announced by President Alex ander of Pendleton Commercial as sociation when he took the position a few months ago, this is to be an active year for the association. It Is to do things which count and keep up the fight for a bigger and better Pendleton. Every week marks some new achievement by the association and every monthly meeting Is better than the preceding meeting. The most representative bodies of citizens to gather In Pendleton now attend the monthly meetings and there is a bet ter spirit than for many years. This activity speaks volumes for the association and the city. It proves that organization pays. It proves that men can work more advan tageously as a body than as Individu als and has done more to strengthen the association with the people of the city and county than anything that has been done for many years. The activity and harmonious spirit of fhe Commercial association Is one . nt the best advertisements of Pen dleton ever sent out. It Is known far j and wide that when Pendleton Com mercial association gets behind a movement that it is sure to go. The Pendleton spirit as exemplified in the Commercial association has become a familiar power in eastern Oregon. To keep this association harmoni ous and continue its excellent work, will require self-sacrifice, labor and unselfish efforts of every member. There is a work for the association i,, jo a irreater work for the future thin has ever bven accomplished in the pant, notwithstanding the excel lent record of the past. Umatilla county Is Ju3t now begin ning to develop. New blood is com ing In and must be fused Into the as sociation. New energies are at work and they mu3t be harnessed for the benefit of Umatilla county. New men are being enlisted In the devel opment propaganda and these men must be taken into the good fellow ship of the association. More farmers are needed In the as sociation. They are interested In good roads, one of the hobbies of the as sociation, and they can work to bet ter advantage Inside than outside the association. More young men are needed. They are to be the future influential citi zens of the county and city and they ehould be taking more active part. In fact, everybody Is needed In the work of the association and nobody Inter ested In Pendleton or Umtllla county can offord not to be a member. mtrcs, crxs and idiots. The Increasing number of crimes caused by gun carrying and drug eating habits should awaken the pub lic to the necessity of some stringent measure to prevent the Indiscrimin ate distribution of drugs and guns to fools, Idiots and irresponsible persons. it la now In the United States Aj it Is now In the United State inv man who has the price can se - cure a gun and ammunition at any time. The same Is true, In a large degree, of the sale of drugs and "dopes" to fiends and fools who are absolutely dangerous. There should be some restrictions on the mile of these urtloles. The slates should provide for some dis crimination In the sale of guns, am munition and dangerous explosives. I: may seem like Interfering with the personal liberty of the Individual, but judging from the horrible crimes committed by love-crazed fools and luu-raxed fiends, society is entitled i,i protection from certain classes of individuals who 'now have too much personal liberty. The police force of every big city and every small city, too, for that natter, should know personally every Individual citizen, from well kept records, who owns a gun or pistol. Every "dope" fiend should also be registered and kept under police sur veilance and on the first sign of In sanity should be confined In an asy lum with other insane patients. The terrible crime of the crazy brakeman In Morrow county last week. In which a beautiful young girl was Instantly killed and her compan ion shot, and the later crime In Port land In which a "dope" fiend brutally murdered a Jeweler In his shop, In the heart of the busy district, bring forcibly to mind the need of some protection for society against fools, idiots, drugs and guns. FOIl A WESTEltN WOOL CENTER. The need of a western wool mar ket, a wool storage center indepen dent of the big manufacturers of Boston and other New England cities was never more forcibly presented to western sheepmen than this spring. In I'tah scarcely any of the wool clip is being sold, the buyers offer ing but 2Vi to IS cents per pound. or 10 cents per pound less than last year. The result Is that all of the Utah clip is being stored, but unfortunately It is being stored with the very Boston firms whose buyers have combined tc hold prices down almost 60 per cent lower than In 1907. This condition should convince western woolmen of the need of a great central Independent wool de pot at Omaha, Denver or St. Louis where wool may re stored Indepen dent of the big commission firms and manufacturers. The wool now being stored with Boston manufacturers will be bought In by these manufacturers, sooner or later, at their own prices. The sheepman Is helpless when once he surrenders his holdings Into the keep Ing of the manufacturers or commis sion firms. He must take what he 13 offered and be content. If there was a co-operative, inde pendent wool storage warehouse at Omaha, owned and controlled by sheepmen, wool could be held indefi nitely at nominal storage charges. buyers would come from all parts of the world to bid on it and there would be a genuine competition This central storage plant must be adopted if sheepmen hope to hold up wool prices. Under the present sys tem the grower Is helpless. If all the wool of the western states were stored at a central storage wool depot, properly Insured, millions of dollars would be loaned or advanced by brokers upon the clips, to tide over the sheepman until sales could be made and he would thus be Inde pendent of the buyers combinations. TEACH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. All citizens should lend their en thusiastic support to the movement backed by Secretary Root to instruct the people on subjects pertaining to International laws and diplomatic customs, and the relations of the United States to foreign powers, says the Spokane Chronicle. The people of a republic, perhaps, for the very reason that they have so large a voice In the government of the nation, are apt to become some what provincial and to be well in formed on only those affairs which concern their townships, counties or states, while lamentably Ignorant on many affairs of national Importance. Secretary Root maintains that many times governments which do not desire war, and have no real rea sons for war, are forced Into hostili ties by tho pressure of popular feel ing, when, If the people of the coun tries concerned had but a sane un derstanding of the Issues Involved, no hostilities would be necessary. The educational campaign propos ed should receive the support of all people Interested In the preservation of peace. The month of May will end with a whirlwind of picnics and excuniona the Cale(jonian pCnlc at Athena on iu. ..iih ntnvatie ontnroa inrliul- jng tne Hermlston excursion on May 27 and the pioneers' reunion at Wes ton on May 28, 29 and 30. All of these events deserve to be well pat ronized and the people of the county are urged to attend in la rite num bers. A good time is promised by all of them. There Is no reason why any repub lican should vote against II. M. Cuke, the republican candidate for the United States senate, and there are many reasons why democrats should vote for him. He was the first can didate In Oregon to declare himself for the principle of the popular elec tion of United States senators tills year, and stands for every progressive principle for which democrats have been clamoring for years. The, biggest potato shipment ever made out of Oregon has been made out of Umatilla county this week and the biggest potato patch Is now growing under the Furnish-Coe ditch hi western Umatilla county. New laurels are being added to Umatilla county every month. THE SAGEI1RISH. Winds of the Western Desert, Freighted with hints of spring Stirring the blooms of the scented sage. Sweet Is the breath you bring! Homely flower of the desert. Tell me the tales you know Of your tragic battle with rainless years, As the parched sands 'round you blow! Clinging to rock and chasm; Loving the sterile plain; Crushed and trampled and hated. Still do you bloom again! Somber and vast, your stretches Baffled the pioneers Awed by your tragic menace. They moistened your wild with tears! Worlds of wilderneM everywhere, Level and dun and wide Wide as the horizon's verges, Pathless on every side! Still do I love you, sagebrush! You cling to the arid sod With a lover's fond embraces As the faithful cling to God! Far from the desert gardens Bring me your scented musk Sweet with a million perfumes, As a meadow path at dusk! Freighted with unborn harvests; Rich with the scents of spring; Laden with hints of newer life, Is the message that you bring! I am a savage, sagebrush; Here In your wild retreat I love the altar you raise to God Better than crowded street! Silent and cast and somber t May be your desert land, Yet do your voices call me Voices I understand. And I pray that the sweetest Incense That soothes me at last In death, May be but thy wild-winged per fumes. The spices of thy breath! Bert Huffman In "The Song of the Oregon Pine." Residence Destroyed. While Mr. and Mrs. S. S. Busch were away from their home In Zillah, near Toppenish. Friday night, the house and contents were destroyed by fire.

The beginning of moving pictures was in this wise: Sir John Herschel, after dinner In 1826 asked his friend, Charles Bubbage how he could show both sides of a shilling at once. Bab base replied by taking a shilling from his pocket and holding it to a mirror. This did not satisfy Sir John, who set the shilling spinning upon the dining table, at the same time point ing out that is the eye Is placed up on a level with the rotating coin both sides can be seen at once. Babbage was so struck by the experiment that the next day he described It to a friend, Dr. Fllton, who Immediately nii'de a working model. On one side of a disc was drawn a bird, on the other side an empty cage; when the card was revolved on a silk thread the bird appeared to be In the cage. This model showed the persistence of vision upon which all moving plc tures depend for their effect. Tht eye retains the Imake of the object seen for a fraction of a second after the object has been removed. This model was called the thaumotrope. Next came the oetrope, or wheel of life. A cylinder was perforated with a series of slots and within the cylinder was placed the apparatus be ing slowly rotated the figures seen through the slots appeared to be In motion.
