When a hy little maid, of the
world afraid,
Sts forth on Love'3 High
way, She knows not where the road
may fare
Or where her feet may
stray.
For a time the road runs wide
and straight,
And Its pleasures wing the
hours.
But at last It divides, and there
are no guides
Save the birds and the nod
ding f'.ow'rs.
Wher. she comes to the forks of
Love's Highway
As come? she must some
day
And her head says "This way,"
but her heart says
"That,"
Which way shall she turn?
Which way?
Unknown.
THE TIE THAT BINDS TRADE.
who declares himself friend of the
Initiative and referendum, argues that
the number of measure to be submit
ted to the people at any one election
should be limited My to six, or per
haps four, so that the people will not
have their attention divided among
so many measures.
He suggests that the legislature
adopt or propose such an amendment
and believes that It would be well re
ceived and favorably acted upon by
the people.
This is one of the changes recom
mended by Blue Mountain grange,
commented on a while back by the
Journal, and Is probably a good one.
Let only a limited number of changes
those having the larger number of pe
titioners, be voted on at one election,
and others wait. '
It might also be well not to allow
a law or constitutional amendment
voted down at one election to come
up again under four or six years.
There are miny ties which hold
communities togetlir, commercially,
but none stronger than the good road3
tie. People love good roads and will
travel long distances on a fine road to
do trading rather than travel a much
shorter distance over a bad or Indif
ferent road.
Pendleton understands this and un
derstanding It should begin work to
Improve the roads and facilities for
travel Into the west end of the coun
ty. Alonj the rijge? between this
city and Hcriui-t jii should run a fine
automobile boulevard, wide, well grad
ed, well kept and well surfaced, so the
trip by te.im from Hermiston to this
city would require but a couple of
hours, and by automobile less than an
hour. j
Nothing wouil bind the west end o
the county to Pendleton more firmly
than this. This city is the logical and
r.atur.r, trading, banking and eorftmer
cia! center of the county and facilities
for travel ma't I improved and In
7Te jsel.
Another f-.T.ute of the good roads
question I the enormous Increase of
land v.ilu'-s where roads are well kept.
At the goo roads convention at
Stockton last Mjndiy, George L. Coo
ky, superintendent of construction
from the department of agriculture,
said that the public roads office is
Invaluable as a source of general In
formation regarding land values In
the I'r.lfd States.
Through that office, said Superin
tendent Cooler, "we learn that the
percentage of Improved roads in Ar
kansas is seven-hun Jrcdths of one per
ceirt. while the awage land value Is
$16.67 per acre; improved roads In
Indiana ZZ per cent, land values
I54.S1 per acre; Improved roads In
Mississippi 3S-10) of 1 per cent, land
values J15.54 per acre; improved
road.H in Ohio 33 per cent, and land
values J57.43 per acre. This shows
that where good roads exist, there
land values are highest."
In other words, the property of the
landowners can be vastly Increased In
value by the construction of good
roads.
KEEP MONEY AT HOME.
The East Oregonlan regrets to see
good Umatilla county money going
away from home for investment.
There are Just as good Irrigation pro
jects here, just as good manufacturing
propositions here. Just as good city In
vtstments and all other kinds of In
viting investments as can be found in
any city of this size in the northwest
and yet thousands of dollars are con
stantly going away to be Invested in
less profitable and more uncertain lo
cations. If one-half of the money that has
been accumulated from Umatilla coun
ty farms and stock herds were invest
ed In Umatilla county enterprises, this
would be the greatest manufacturing
center In the northwest.
But scarcely any of the accumula
tions from Umatilla county's excellent
resources are reinvested here to keep
the "ball rolling." Men make for
tunes here as quickly as possible and
then "shake the dust" of Umatilla
county and look elsewhere for places
to Invest.
hat is neede In Umatilla county
and especial!" In Pendleton. Is a
storng stock of loyalty and home
pride for the city and county. While
we are investing our money at home,
we can not only enjoy good returns,
but we can help build up the coun
ty and increase Its facilities and
wealth. We can make money for our
selves and make It easy for others to
make money.
Let us not "milk" the county and
then run away. Let us put back Into
the excellent investments some of the
money we have drawn out of the soil
and ranges and make Umatilla the
banner manufacturing as well as the
banner agricultural county of the
state.

The East Oregonlan Is publishing
the truth. Pendleton will be a better
Lily dry than ever It was wet. In five
years the voters of your city would
no more readmit the saloon than they
would favor the establishment of a
sanitarium in their midst for the treat
ment of bubonic plague.
No voice Is ever raised In. exfolia
tion of the curse of rum, save the one
of greed. No man Is ever praised for
his drunkenness or ability to debauch
himself and ruin his family and de
stroy Its happiness. Xo man Is hon

ity for drink, or that he beat his wife
cftener this year than last, or starved

of ascending manhood and woman

Hot Stove-Cool Kitchen
How do you expect to en
dure the broiling days of
summer if you prepare all
the food over a glowing coal
fire?
You need a " New Perfec
tion" Oil Stove that will
do the cooking without cook
ing the cook. It concen
trates plenty of heat under
the pot and diffuses little
or none through the room.
Therefore, when wftlung
with the
NEW PEBFECTIOW
Wick Blue Flame Oil Cook-Stove
the kitchen actually seems as comfortable as you could wish
it to be.
This, in itself, is wonderful, but, more than that, the "New
Perfection" Oil Stove does perfectly every
thing that any stove can do. It is an ideal
all-round cook-stove. Made in three sizes,
and fully warranted. If not with your
dealer, write our nearest agency.

A 1a Grande brewery building is to
be converted into a fruit packing and
storage warehouse. If all the apple
land adjacent to Pendleton were now
bearing apples, two or three brewery
buildings in this city could hi- used
for that purpose. This is just i hint
to the retiring saloon nien of Umatilla
county.
What Makes a Bank Strong ?
A VINDICATION.
LIMIT INITIATIVE LAWS.
The Oregon Daily Journal com
mends the suggestion of Judge Low
ell of this city that the Initiative laws
submitted by the people should he
limited to a small number In eaeh
election. If something Is not done to
check the matter, the official ballot
111 be as large as a Navajo blanket
in a few years.
Ther are a few meritorious meas
ures which deserve a place on the
ballot, but there are many local an4
selfish measures which do'not deserve
a place on the ballot and county di
vision bills are among this number.
The Journal says:
In a communication to the East
Oreyonlan Judg-e Lowell of that city,
The East Oregonlan has just receiv
ed the following unsolicited and unex
pected letter from Portland. It is
written by a prominent mining man
of that city, a man of unquestioned
integrity and honor and one whose
word may be taken on the question
discussed in the letter.
The facts given In this letter are a
complete vindication of the prohibi
tion sentiment and the letter is print
ed without comment. Readers of the
East Oregonian may draw their own
conclusions:
Editor East Oregonlan,
Pendleton, Oregon.
Dear ir: I cannot refrain from
congratulating you on the tone of the
editorial utterances of your splendid
newspaper since It was determined
that Umatilla county had had enough
of the whiskey business. I was a res
ident of North Dakota for several
years, and as you know, that state
ig now dry, with a big D. All kinds
of disaster and all kinds of calamity
was predicted when the saloons were
voted out, but the actual result was
expressed to me by the governor re
cently when he said:
"PROHIBITION HAS BEEN A
GREAT FACTOR IN THE PROS
PERITY AND UPBUILDING OF
OUR STATE. OUR TAXES ARE, I
BELIEVE, THE LOWEST OF ANY
OF THE NEWER STATES, FIRST,
BECAUSE OF THE DECLINE OF
CRIME, AND, SECOND, BECAUSE
THERE ARE NOW THOUSANDS
OF MEN, ESPECIALLY HEADS OF
FAMILIES, PAYING TAXES ON
PROPERTY ACQUIRED BY THEIR
SAVINGS THAT FORMERLY WENT
INTO THE HANDS OF THE SA
LOONKEEPER. "FAMILIES FORMERLY OCCU
PYING SOD SHANTIES NOW OWN
BEAUTIFUL HOMES, WELL FUR
NISHED, AND THE PIANO STANDS
UPON WELL CARPETED FLOORS,
h'HERE BEFORE THERE WAS NO
FLOOR BUT THAT OF NATURE.
DIVORCES HAVE DECREASED BY
AT LEAST HALF, AND YOUR
'COUNTY FARMS,' ALIAS THE
POOR HOUSE, IS AN UNNECESSA
RY PART OF OUR COUNTY PROPERTY.
KX PLAIN' THE CANDLE-POWER.
In Illuminating circles one hears a
great deal about "candlepower" and
nearly everyone, if asked, would In
stantly reply that a candle power was
the light given by a single candle.
But candles differ ,ln luminosity as
well as Incandescent lamps, and candle-power
is nnf one thing but sev
eral according to the country where
used.
In Great Britain and the United
States the standard light unit Is the
amount given by a "spermaceti can
dle burning up at the rate of 120
grains an hour with a flame 4," mill-
meters high," or 1.78 Inches. In
France the standard candle is made
of stearine. and Germany's randle
was, until a few years ago, parafine.
Now the latter country uses the so
called Hefner unit of light. the
amount given by a certain form of
lamp burning acetate of nmyl. An
other lamp standard, called the car
cel. was used in France. In this I
purified rape seed oil Is burned. Be
cause of this unsatisfactory Interna
tional chaos It Is now proposed that
our national bureau of standards at
Washington take steps to establish
a standard - International candle
which would be acceptable to at least
nine countries.
In judging a bank, always remember that It Is the
personnel of the stJvkholdeu, rrectors and offi
cers that are behind the Instltut'on which give con
fidence to the depositor that Ills funds are safe.
The Pendleton Savings Bank
Is essentially n "Home" Institution. Its stockhold
ers are well known Umatilla county and Oregon
citizens. Its constant growth Is the result of care
ful and conservative management, with the most
liberal treatment for all deserving enterprise.

him that the price is right.
To get the best results, cater to the largest number you
