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."

ORIGIN OF MOVING PKTUtES.
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. The first systematic photo
graphs taken at regular intervals of
