Lot us prove to the world that Pen dleton la a town. Independent of nny of the vices which have -clung to It. The closing of gambling did not kill the town. The closing of saloons will not kill It, but will make It better In spite of the pessimistic complaints now heard. TllK RESU.T IX OREGON. PENDLETON. "WET" AXD "DRY," Pendleton has always been a good "wet' 'town and as the saloons and liquor business produced none of her wealth nor the wealth of Umatilla county, she will be even a better "dry-" town. It Is a fallacy to believe that sa loons make a town, or add anything to the natural resources of a town or community. People might as well meet the facts bravely and dispose of them at once. The liquor traffic never added one cent to the resources of any town or community In the world. It simply handles and accu mulates' the money which others pro duce. So Pendleton will go ahead just the same. She will be the banking, trad ing ami commercial center of the same rich territory, she will build her city hall an federal building. Improve her streets and water system, add to her school facilities and become the school center of eastern Oregon in every sense of the word. The same Pendleton spirit is here, the same Intelligent business men are at the helm, the same rich country surrounds the town, the same pros pects are ahead of Pendleton that have always been anticipated and there are even more reasons to boost and build up Pendleton now than ever, before, because we can truly say to homeseekers that the moral condi tions of the town and county are be yond question. The pessimists say that we cannot run the city government and meet the expenses without the saloons. This Is a direct insult to the Intelligent cit izens who are directing the city's af fairs. They can run a city without Tice and can meet the legitimate ex penses without levying on Immorality. The change In the policy of the ccunty and city has come to stay and conditions will quickly adjust them selves. The East Oregonlan has too much faith in the stability of Pendle ton and of Umatilla county to believe the pessimistic complaints that are being made and that will be made about prohibition. It believes that the actual resources of this county are too great and too varied to be effect ed In any way by the abolition of a non-producing, expense and crime breeding business. Umatilla county Is Just entering her best era. New land Is coming under cultivation, new homes are being founded, new settlers are coming and new sections of the county are being developed rapidly. All of this means wealth, prosperity, trade and traffic for Pendleton and it is up to this city tu build good roads into these new ectlona to make It easy for People to come to the city and easy to trav erse the county. Within an Incredibly abort time the city will forget that It ever had a sa loon, forget that it ever depended up or the aaloon Income to maintain the city government and Pendleton "dry" The result of the election In Oregon Is being watched with keen Interest In other states, and It seems that the su preme test of popular government has ei me. In the state of Washington the people are following closely the work ing of the popular measures In this state and It Is probable that within two years Washington will have auopted the progressive laws now In force In Oregon. As an Illustration of the sentiment elsewhere on the result of the election !: this state, the following from the Walla Walla Statesman Is taken: Yesterday's election in Oregon means more than that a life-long dem ocrat Is to occupy one of that state's seats In the United States senate. It means more than the personal tri umph of Governor George E. Cham berlain. Yesterday's election In Oregon means that the people of our neigh boring state have cast party fealty to the winds and that the day of .the machine Is over. On no other grounds can be explained tlie mandate of the people that a strongly republican leg islature, chosen at yesterday's election, shall send a democrat to sit in the nation's highest council. George Chamberlain, however, Isn't a senator yet, and If he ever takes the oath of office before the vice-president of the United States, It will sig nalize a greater triumph for the moral idea in politics than was scored by the popular governor in yesterday's election. Although the majority of the repub licans elected to the legislature have pledged . themselves to vote for the senatorial candidate receiving the greatest number of votes at yester day's popular election, this vote will not be taken until the legislature con venes, and If the majority of the mem bers of the' legislature decide to vio late their pledges and to Vote for Mr. Cake or even for the discredited Mr. Fulton, the election of either of these gentlemen will be valid from a pirrely legal point of view. It Is all very well to assume that, in view of the pledges taken by the legislators, such a course of action would be beyond contemplation. Those who know anything about practical politics 'know that there will be plen ty of temptation for the legislator to violate his pledge to the voters. It matters not whether Mr. Cake, true to his promise to abide by the re sults of the election, declines to permit his name to go before the legislature. If he does, some other republican will be found who will be willing to take a tainted toga, and will resort to every known expedient to secure it. The influence of national politics will be strongly felt in the state house at Salem, and it would not be surpris ing were the full power of the repub lican national organization concentrat ed In Oregon to overthrow the will of the people as expressed at the polls yesterday. Were they left to the. dictates of their own conscience, It would not be at all unusual for the republican leg islators to follow the cue of their con stituents and place manhood above party; But, If In spite of the Influences which will surround them, those Or egon legislators can take home to their constituents an unbroken pledge, they will be entitled to the everlasting grat itude of every patriot In the nation. Oregon faces the supreme test In popular government. INDIAN LEGEND OP THE "LAND OF WA WA." The following northwest Indian lo geud. of the "Land of Wa Wa," Is from the Seattle magailne, the Westerner; The early settlers of eastern Ida ho had much trouble In fighting the mosquitoes. The Insects were so nu merous that workers In the fields were compelled to wear gloves to pro tect their hands from being bitten by the pests. Mormou pioneers wore veils over their faces when milking the cows because of the great swarms of mos quitoes that came from the meadows after sunset. For many years after the first homes wero erected the peo ple had to fight for comfort every where they tried to locate: Thy built huge fires nnd covered the burning brush with green plants to make a smoke that would drive the . Insects away. The houses were screened with wire and cloth to keep mosquitoes from getting Inside and disturbing the rest of the people. The Indians designated the country as the land of the Wa-Wa and related this legend- Many years ago there lived a great god named Wa-wa. He was hirgei than the ordinary man and had a sharp beak four feet long. When any of the neighbors crossed his path this big, lazy creature would stick his beak into them and emit a poison which soon caused them to die. lie lived In a big stone house and had the place fortified . with high canyon walls. Being rich, he had numerous servants that were kept In bondage. Every living thing feared the god Wa-wa which was the In dian word for mosquito. Meetings were held and plans made to rid the country of "this dangerous foe. But all efforts were of no avail. He suc ceeded In overpowering all his ene mies nnd driving them from his cho sen land. Coy-ote was a shrewd little fellow who feared nthlng. He lived by his wits and gained through the day much flattery. He .had two sisters who were wiser than himself. When he was in need of advice the sisters were consulted. They opened com munication with the spirits and re ceived proper counsel. They told Coyote to take his stone ax and go to the house of Wa-wa. The ax was con cealed. Coy-ote carried five little sticks. When he neared the houo of Wn wa he lighted the sticks and caused a powerful smoke to fill the place. Then Wa-wa dropped, upon the floor. Coy-ote would not kill him, but with the ax he spilt open his head nnd caused thousands of little, Wa-was to come forth. The power to send out poison was taken away and Wa-wa was ever after only a small Insect, now numbered by millions and known as the mosquito of Snake river valley. Bill BEDIM V ' Having used S, S. S. I know It to be an excellent blood pur ifier. It thoroughly olennsra and renovates the blood of all poisons and impurities and puts that vital fluid in the beat poaaible condition. I believe it to be purely vegetable, aa you olaim, for it doea not injure the ay stem In the least. On the con trary, it builda up the general health while purifying the blood. It gives strength and energy, a good appetite, and makes one feel butter every way. It is a medicine of grent merit, and, in my opinion, will do all yon claim for it in puri fying and enriching the blood and building up the general health. O. C. SIN OLAIAE. 107 Union Station, Pittsburg, Pa. The next legislature will be close or. statement No. 1, but the East Ore gonlan has sufficient faith In the In tegrity of the men who have taken this pledge to believe that although but one vote would be needed to keep Oregon In the republican rank, that one vote could not be secured by the broken pledge of a statement No. 1 member. If Governor Chamberlain has secured the popular vote he should be elected United States sena tor on the first ballot. While the East Oregonlan has made a hard fight for Mr. Cake and has made votes for him, jet it cheerfully consents to the will of the people and shall urge the elec tion of Governor Chamberlain by the legislature If he ha received the pop ular vote. Pendleton will perhaps have the biggest and moat enthusiastic Fourth of July celebration thla year ever wit nessed In the city. There U cause for celebration. Pendleton is Just at the gateway of her most prosperous and enlightened era. Let us make It a hummer. SCHOOLS HOOST A TOWN. The little city of Lebanon, Linn county, wears the pnrud distinction of state championship In high school de bate, says the Salem Journal. The young ladies who won out nre Annie McCormick, Elsie Dlllard and Pearl Aldrich; against Birdie Wise. Carl Thos. and Jennie Jeffot of Astorhi. Sometimes such decisions are ar rived at In n more or less hap-haz-zard manner, owing to the systems of marking. Hut the significance of a small city like Lebanon winning out over all the higlt schools of the state Is very important. Lebanon has Impresspii the writer fur some years as having made a great feature of public school enthu siasm. - This Is due to the personal enthu siast of a few men In the communi ty like Senator Miller ami Postmast er Brown and men on the public school board. It Is a great advertisement for Lebanon. The city Is more noted for Its high school than almost any other feature. It Is a good thing for a town to become noted for Its public schools and educatloal advantages. FIRE LOSSES A DISGRACE. One conflagration destroying $4, 000,000 or $5,000,000 worth of prop erty makes a great display In the newspapers, and yet fire losses were not quite M, 000,000 a week, the vear round, but for the past five years the average loss has been $5, 000,000 every week, a total for five years of $1,500,000,000. That owners of property were partially Indemni fied by Insurance does not affect the fact that the country as a whole suf fers this enormous and preventable waste. Most of our building Is a gamble between the owner. and the Insurance company. The enormous fire losses amount to a national disgrace, for other countries do not experience any such waste. Exchange. HfflUBB SAFE-GUARD AGAINST DISEASE Pure, rich blood and a free circulation is the surest protection against 'lie diseases nnd disorders which are constantly attacking our physical systems. The healthy circulation of the blood prevents the entrance of disease germs, and filters out of the system everything that is not necessary or beneficial to the growth and development of the body ; all life's forces are kept up by it, and every organ, nerve, tissue and bone is dependent on the blood for its nourishment and strength. Healthy blood is filled with millions of little red corpuscles. These minute particles furnish its rich, red color, and are the carriers of nutri ment and health to the different parts of the body; in pther words the very life and vitalizing essence of the circulation. The destruction of these corpuscles by disease germs weakens and pollutes the blood, and anaemia, with its attendant evils of pale, chalky complexions, weak, run-down systems and malarial con ditions, or perhaps some more defin itely marked disorder, is the result. Frequently the blood becomes infected with acrid, fiery humors, and Eczema, Acne, Tetter, or some other skin disease or affection makes its appearance, and is kept up with its itching and disfiguring symptoms. An excess of uric acid in the circula tion causes a fermentation of the blood, and Rheumatism, vith its pains and aches," is established in the system, there to remain, unless the poison is driven from the blood. Old Sores and Ulcers are likewise dependent on bad blood. These places are kept operi and in a state of irritation by the drainage of pollu tion which the blood is continually discharging into them. In fact there are few ailments which cannot be traced to impure or diseased blood, and our only safeguard is to keep the circulation in strong, healthy condition. In all blood troubles S. S. S. has proven itself a perfect remedy, and is universally recognized as the greatest or all blood purif.crs. It goes down into the circulation, and removes all poisons, humcrs and taints, and makes this life-stream pure and halth-svisisining. It puri fies and strengthens weak, deteriorated blood, supplies it with the health ful properties it needs, and establishes the foundation for good health. As a tonic S. S. S. has no equal, and will be found especially adap:td to weak, run-down sys tems. One ofthe greatest points infavbrof S. S. S., is that it does not con lair, a particle of mineral, but is made entirely of the extracts and juices of harmless, healing, cleansing roots and herbs. Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, and all other blood troubles, are permanently cured by S. S. S., and so thorough is its work that no trace of the disease is left for future outbreaks. S. S. S. is for sale at all drug stores.

"I attended a colored church down In my state where a revival meeting was going on. The preacher was a big fat negro, who seemed to be wound up for an all-night discourse. His sub ject was the Prophets. He rambled on. for an hour .or more about the Major Prophets,' and then he turned his attention to the minor Prophets. " 'My breddern,' he said, with a wide sweep of his rlgh arm, 'we now come to Hosea. Let us consider him, Whar shall we put Hosea?' " 'Hosea can have my seat,' said an aged colored man, rising. 'I am so d tired I'm going home!" "The meeting broke up In confu sion." Washington Post.
