My destiny! Had I the sight to
see
Then, would I scan the path
Fate planned for me,
Or, doubting, bide beside my
lnglenook
Mine eyes a dreamer's, and
afraid to look
My soul a-frightened at the
things to be?
I am a gamester with a game
ster's plea!
"My game be good!" this,
lords, I ask of thee;
So, when the cup Is turned
the last die shook
I can say, "I have lived! Fate
gave, and took
His price, and I have smiled
and paid the fee
My destiny!"

COMPENSATION.
For every man who leaves Umatill
ccunty because the county has gone
"dry" there will be two or three new
settlers come In to stay. For every
man who knocks the county because
of the prohibition vote there will be
dozens of staunch supporters and ad
vceates of the principle make em
pbatlc reply.
Every emergency has Its compen
sating features. For every saloon
man who, unfortunately, will be fore
ed to leave the city and county, there
will be dozens of excellent people
come In to engage In Industries upon
which the ban of the law is not set
Already instances of people coming
here on account of the prohibition
vote are being noted. The East Ore
gonian will make special note of such
cases and hopes to be able to publish
a list of actual settlers who come
here because the county has at last
been voted "dry," Many of such
people are coming. Thereis no doubt
about it. They believe In that prin
ciple and they know that this Is a
good county and V there is every in
ducement for them to come.
The ultimate benefits will be largely
In favor of Pendleton and Umatilla
county. There Is no doubt about it.
j. LEGISLATURE IS HONEST.
Although reports of attempts to
bribe members of the legislature on
the senatorial election this early after
the general election are being circu
lated, yet the East Oregonian has
faith in the legislature elected and be
lieves that every man will do as he
has agreed to do with his constituents.
Every republican who has agreed
with his neighbors and friends to
support the people's choice for United
States senator will vote for the peo
ple's choice.' It may be a bitter piil
f t many a vote for a senator belong
ing to an opposite party, but if that
member of an opposite party is the
people's choice, that settles it. The
people should and will rule.
Coming back to the question of
bribing legislators in the senatorial
election, it is natural that every one
should ask who Is interested In break
ing the ranks of the statement No. 1
members? Who Is Interested In
thwarting the will of the people? Who
is it that Is counciling a revolt against
the people? Is It the miserable
wretch who Is used as a stool pigeon
and . go-between or is it somebody
higher up?
What will It benefit the corrupt
parasite who is conducting the ne
gotiations? He expects no honor, no
position, no advancement. He simply
wants a few dollars of the corrup
tion fund.
Then who Is at the bottom of this
attempt to disrupt the legislature and
aet aside the will of the people? It la
somebody who hope to profit by It,
politically, of course. Somebody who
hopes to be hit by the senatorial
lightning in the open fight In the legis
lature. So let us watch and be still. The
real culprit will show his hand sooner
MOKE FOlt PENDLETON.
The new taw permitting state Insti
tutions to be located away from the
state capital will give Pendleton a
branch of the state Insane asylum In
time. ,
This climate Is especially adapted
to the needs of the Insane, especially
those suffering with certain classes of
ailments and it would be not only
economical for the state to locate a
branch here to accommodate the vast
territory east of the Cascades, but it
would be an act of mercy and good
horse sense to" place a branch here In
a climate which would cure, instead of
aggravate mental weaknesses of spe
cific classes.
This city being the logical location
for the eastern Oregon asylum should
to put up a strong
The leg
islature should see the need for such
and should also recognize the scientific
reasons for locating a branch In a
mild and Invigorating climate which
In curing many of the unfortunates.
Pendleton should begin early to
present her claims for this state in
stitution. The present asylum Is
crowded to the limit of Its capacity,
the climate at Salem Is death to many
who would perhaps recover In a dif
ferent climatic condition, and there
are dozens of reasons wny a Dig
branch of the state Insane asylum
should be located here within the
next two years.
It would save thousands of dollars
per year In traveling expenses and
would keep eastern Oregon Insane In
this part of the state, thus making it
more convenient and less expensive
for relatives to visit them and would
be helpful from a scientific stand
point. Physicians of the asylum could then
assign Inmates to the climatic condi
tion suited .to them and thus aid in
curing many who would otherwise
pass a few miserable years In the
asylum and die after all for want of
nature's simplest remedy climate.

LOVE SONNETS OF A COWliOY.
The other night the Two-Bar gave a
dance,
And she was there, a shlnln' star
all right,
Not dressed to kill, but Jest in sim
ple white,
And yet, you bet, she breathed of
elegance;
You oughter seen her wjien some
puncher 'd prance
Right up and try to git off somp'n
bright;
She'd sling her noose of talk Jest
out of sight,
Calf-ropln' didn't seem a happen
stance!
And when she danced It looked to me
A purty flower .swayln' on the
plain
When some cool breeze has come
I'm off the hills;
I didn't dast to nst her fer a hike
Around the floor with me 'twould
set my brain
A whlt-lln' round Jest like a herd
that mills!

WILL HELP MERCHANTS.
The Spokesman-Review is in favor
of the parcels post, which has been
urged by Postmaster General Meyer
and gives some excellent reasons why
the law should be passed for the ben
efit of the country consumer and the
small merchant. Reviewing the ques
tion In detail, the Spokane paper says:
Postmaster General Meyer asserted
with truth a:id reason in his report to
the senate on March 4 last, that the
proposed rural parcels post would
bt nefit "the farmer, the country mer
chant and other patrons of the route."
False and Juggling attempts are made
by the bix express companies to re
fute that logical assertion, but wlth-
ut convincing effect.
Under the present postal laws, big
catalogue houses in eastern cities have
cut Into the trade of the country mer
chant to a discouraging extent. In
building up this trade they have used
both the malls and the express lines.
The proposed rural parcels post will
go far to restore this lost business to
the country merchant.
It proposes a general postal rate of
12 cents a pound on packages weigh
ing up to 11 pounds, but It also pro-
Ides and here I where the country
merchant Is benefited for a special
low postal rate over all rural routes
merchandise mailed at the post-
office at which the rural route starts.
This special rate Is 5 cents for the
first pound and 2 cents for each ad
ditional pound up to 11 pounds. The
country merchant could take advan
tage of this special low rate; the big
catalogue houses could not.
The country merchant could mall
out an 11-pound package for 25 cents;
the eastern competitor would have to
pay the high rate of J1.32 on an 11
pound package.
The differential In advantage of
the country merchant has been shown
to be ample. Under the proposed
parcels post law he certainly could
recapture a large part, If not all, of
the business which has been taken
fzom him by the catalogue houses
under existing postal lawB.
The rural free delivery service has
been built up to a great system. In
Whitman county, this state, for ex
ample, there are 32 rural free deliv
ery routes running out of 17 towns, as
follows:
Colfax and Palouse, four each; Gar
field, Pullman and St. John, three
each; Farmtngton, Oakesdale and
Rosalia, two each; and one each to
Albino, Coltonji Elbertan, Endlcott, La
Crosse, Sunset, Tekoa, Thornton and
Unlontown,
What better service could the Whit
man county merchants desire than
this? A dally delivery to patrons
miles away In the country, and Uncle
Sam charging only 26 cents for an 11
pound package, aa against a charge of
APPLES CUKE INSOMNIA.
A medical writer declares that the
apple Is such a common fruit that
very tew persons become familiar with
its medicinal properties, says the
Pathfinder. The best thing Just he
fore going to bed, he says. Is to tat
an apple. "Persons uninitiated In the
mysteries of the fruit," he continues,
"are likely to throw up their hands
in horror at the visions of dyspepsia
which such a suggestion may sum
mon up, but no harm can come, to even
a delicate system by the eating of a
ripe and Juicy apple before going to
bed. The. apple is excellent bialn
food, because It has more phosporlc
acid in easily digested shape than any
other fruit. It excites the action of
the liver, promotes sound and heal-
they sleep and thoroughly disinfects
the mouth. This Is not all: the ap
ple prevents indigestion and throat
diseases."

Chinese empire Is usually pointed out

of forests is assigned as the chief
cause. .Wootf is scarcer In China than
