Under he caption, "Prohibition's
Blight," the La Grande Observer
gives the following Interesting view
of the changed conditions of affairs
in this county from an outsider's view
point: Below- are published a few Item
picked up at random from one issue
of a Pendleton paper and shows that
the dark days prophesied for that
community by certain interests should
prohibition carry, are far from being
of the hue they were painted before
election. Should anyone doubt their
truthfulness they are Invited to write
to those whose names appear or ths :
mayors of the cities mentioned.
C. S. Ternennine has let the con-
tract to L. Duulap for the erection of
a modern dwelling to cost In the
neighborhood of $2500, and to be lo
cated at 518 Tustin street, rendition.
A new city hall to cost $35,000 Is
now in the course of construction.
A $70,000 federal building Is now
a certainty.
The Pendleton Wool Scouring plant
has opened with a rush, the entire
plant running night and day.
Negotiations are about completed
by the Racine Woolen mills company
for the purchase of the Pendleton
Woolen mills, which they will make
their western headquarters, expect
ing to employ 200 skilled operatives.
Including a large clerical force.
E. J. Murphy of Portland has pur
chased several alfalfa crops, leased
much land and will Install a $20,000 :
alfalfa meal plant at Echo.
The Henrietta flouring mills at
the same place are to be opened up
and run to full capactly.
In Just the time it ook a commit
tee to call on 44 busines men, $830
was subscribed to aid the Pendleton
baseball team. The list was headed by
tx-Mayor W. F. Matlock, owner of
the Hotel Pendleton building, in which
a saloon is located, who subscribed
an even $100.
Negotiations for the location of a
broom factory at Pendleton are now
under way, which heretofore was im
posible owing to the excessively high
rents. It will create a home market
for the excellent broom corn raised
In the Athena and Freewater dis
tricts. The Pendleton Auto company has
just purchaseda carload of autos
for Umatilla county trade.
The school board Is now having
erected a new iron fence t ru round
the high school block.
The Freewater fruit cannery has
opened for the season's run and as
soon as the crops mature will place
a full crew of workers on duty.
The surveys being made and rights
of way secured for electric lines from
Milton In the eastern part Of the
county, and Echo and Hermltson in

Pendleton as the terminus, have not
been discontinued.
A few other industries, now In em
bryo, could be cited, but the above
are sufficient for the purposes of
this atricle.
But this is not all.
Immediately after the result of the
election became known a party of
Pendleton's leading business men,
started on a tour of the county to
solicit funds for the advertising of
.the entire county, and at every stop
were enthusiastically greeted and the
'first town or city is yet to be heard
from which will not subscribe to the
fund for a greater Umatilla.
That the indomitable "Pendleton
spirit" which has characterized the
forward march of that city and made
the name Pendleton Frnonymous with
all that goes to make a bustling city
is again manifesting itself in thi
crisis If such it can be called the
same us its progressive business men
have met all other crises in the ast
shows the calibre of Its people and
display of fortitude equalled in very
few other places having the limited
resources Immediately surrounding
the city and the keen competition with
other cities, as Pendleton has with
Walla Walla, to hold her prestige as
a distributing point
That her people believe and the
people of the entire county, for that
matter that. In the words of anoth
er, they must "hang together or hang
separately," Is manifest, and that they
do not Intend to hang separtely Is a
foregone conclusion
A better exemplification of the
"Snirlt of the Golden West" and of
the progress as exhibited by Pendle
ton It foreign to a greater portion of
the communities of the northwest,
Tou simply can't make her lay down
Whether this spirit Is wotrhy of
emulation or not each reader can de
cide for himself.

REPUBLICAN ran
HUHR1II H. TUFT
Washington, June
10. President
Roosevelt has said that If it would
help matters at all, he would cheer
fully walk on his hands und knees
fwom the White House to the capltol
to see William Howard Taft Inaugur
ated presdlent of the United States.
Senator, who would like to prevent
the consummation of that event, has
declared that no one could meet Taft
and not love him as a man.
There must be something wonder
fully pleasing In a man's personality
to evoke such expressions from two
such diverse sources.
And there Is. Genial, whole-souled,
happy, hearty big "Bill" Taft, as he
is known to his intimates, attracts
men io him as irresitibly as the mag
net does the steel.
One of the biggest men In the
country, physically, Taft Is six feet
tall and weighs 2S0 pounds. His
shoulders are so broad and his frame
so big that he carries his weight
without giving the appearance of a
fat man In the ordinary sense.
Bubbling Over Willi Humor.
Bubbling over with good nature,
with laughter ever ready to his lips,
Taft Is, nevertheless, the personifica
tion of dignity and firmness. Con
vinced of the wisdom and justice of
a certain line of action, no one, not
even. President Roosevelt himself, is
more aggressive and courageous in
pursuit of his object.
Taft Is his own master. No great
er mistake could be made than to
assume that. If elected president, he
would be under the domination of
any man, In the mapping out of the
great policies of the Roosevelt ad
ministration no one has 'been more
freely consulted than Taft. and no
one has been more free to criticise the
president when criticism seemed just.
Roosevelt Is not a lawyer. Taft is.
Sympathizing heartily with the presi
dent's purposes, Taft has Used his le
gal training to shape Roosevelt's Ideas
Into practical form. The abilities of
the one have complimented those of
the other, with the result that a
trreat work has been accomplished
for the people.
Temperamentally they are almost
opposing. It would be difficult to
conceive of Taft forming classes of
"Hats." "malefactors of great
wealth." or "nature, fakirs." He has
not the phrase-making capacity of
Roosevelt, but he can be none the less
visorous in denuuciatlon of wrong.
He does not believe that epithets are
necessary to make speech strong and
Incisive. Where Roosevlt Is impetu
ous and sometimes has to change
front with great suddenness. Taft's
legal training makes him deliberate,
judicial aad once convinced, un
yielding. I rank- mid I'luv'rvod.
No man In public life Is more frank
and unreserved In his intercourse
wl;h newspaper men than Taft. He
goes on tlie theory that the public
has a right to know about the ad
piinstration of the war department,
and he tak's the correspondents Into
his confidence" but lie reserves the
rlu'ht to deride- when the proper tinu
has arrived for publication of the
fwK Ho plays no favorites, but
when Taft says "no" there Is a final
ity about It which N generally arcep't-
e i. i n one orcasoin, however, a
corespondent persisted in asking lead
ing questions on a subject upon which
the secretary had said he could no
speak. Taft's face lost i's smile, the
kindly gray eyes developed a steely
L'lltter, and suddenly the storm broke
He declared tliat he was not to ht
nunyraggeil Into answering ques
tions that he did not want to answer
and gave the unhappy newspapei
man such n raking down before al
of his colleagues, as he had probably
never had before. It was such a sur
prise coming from Taft that for i
few moments no one uttered a word
men, just as suddenly, the storm
cleared. Jumping up, Taft put his
arm nround the shoulder of the cor
respondent and In the most affection
ate manner apologized frankly for his
outburst of temper.
Taft Is a hard but cheerful worker.
He gets up early and does a lot of
work at his home before going to the
department at '9:30 or 10 o'clock. He
usually finds his desk there piled up
with papers awaiting his attention,
and he keeps thre stenographers busy
all day disposing of them. He seldom
leaves until 6 o'clock and frequently
works late Into the night.
Has Many Culler.
Yet In the midst of all this he finds
time to receive many callers. He has
the happy faculty of putting visitors
Immediately at their ease, and when
Taft says that he Is glad to see you
he makes you feel that he really
means It and that It Is something more
than the perfunctory greeting usual
ly handed out by public men.
Nothing In the line of work seems
to fease him. He Is Just as ready to
pack his grip on a few hours' notice
to start for Rome, Havana, Panama
or Manila, as he Is to take up the
question whether the middle span of
a bridge over a certain navigable
stream should be 43 or 62 feet high.
An extraordinary variety of work
has fallen to his lot since he left the
position of United States circuit
Judge In Ohio, upon the earnest solici
tation of President McKlnley, to
cross the seas and become governor
of the Philippines.
It was a sense of patriotic duty that
led him to accept that office, and it
was that same Impelling power that
caused him to throw himself heart
and soul into the work. So Intersted
did he become in his Filipino charges
that when Root resigned as head of
the war department and Taft was
drafted to succeed him, he insisted
upon keeping supervisory charge over
the people whose affections he had
won and whose aspirations and. limi
tations he so well knew.
After being engaged in the paclfl-
cation of savages he was now con
fronted with the problems of warfare
and schemes of uttuck and defense;
then congress loaded onto the war de
partment the task of building the
Panama canal. Taft assumed this,
with other burdens with entire equan
imity. When the Punumans beeumo
restive and fancied grelvunces arose
between the United Slates goVern
meiit of the Cuual zone and the nowly
established republic, Tuft went him
self and, with Infinite tact, and with
an apparantly Intuitive realization of
South American character, adjusted
the differences and won the , confi
dence and regard of the new allies of
the United States.
It would seem- that the Philippines
and the Panama canal with their
many Intricate details were of them
selves enough to fully occupy tlio tlmo
of one man. Yet when President
Palina's government In Cuba fell to
pieces It was Taft who was called up
on to perform the work of reorgan
ization. It was Taft who went to
Rome on the delicate mission of ad
justing the largo claims of the Roman
Catholic church for the property taken
from It In the Philippines, and he
succeded so admirably that tho au
thorities of Rome and the United
States, and the Filipinos themselves,
applauded his accomplishment.
Sat o tho Lid.
When the controversy arose be
tween liowen, the American minister
to Venezuela, and Loornis, the aslst
ant secretary of state. It was Taft
acting at the time as secretary of
both state and war as well as "sit- L
ting on the lid" for tho absent presl-
dent who conducted the luvestlga-i
tion and rendered judgment. The fl-
naiulal rehabilitation of .Santo Do.
tningo was also worked out under his
supervision.
With nil of these multifarious re
sponsibilities put upon him ho yet
finds time to attend to the thousand
and one details of the business of the
war department. Of course ho has
able nslstants But It Is a fact that
no Important paper Issues from the
war department which has not receiv
ed the careful personal attention of
the secrteary. No matter how volu
minous the records In the case, Taft
insists upon going through them un
til satisfied that he has a thoropgh
understanding. With a marvellous
faculty for the quick assimilation ot
facts he reaches a decision rapidly
and It Is seldom Indeed that he has'
to revise a Judgment. In the consid
eration of court martial rases he Is
especially careful and not Infrequent
ly tempers Justice with mercy.
Of one thing, however, he Is Intol
erant, and that Is deceit. Reviewing
one day the case of an officer con
demned to dismissal from the army,
and disposed to be lenient with him
for the sake of his family, Taft went
'.hrough the records. Suddenly, throw
ing them aside, he remarked: "Ah,
but hi" lied nbout It." and proceeded
to approve the court martial dcree.

PATRICK HENRY.
A Saint In Religious Matter, but Dlf

The Virginia Magazine of History
and Biography has a number of let
ters by Roger Atkinson, a Virginia
planter, who came from Cumberland,
England, about 1750 and settled near
Petersburg. To his brother-ln-luw,
Samuel Pleasant of Philadelphia, be
writes in October, 1774, concerning Vir

gates to the first Philadelphia congress.
Tho spirit ot the mun is shrewd, but
obviously not reverential;
"Ye 3d gentleman, Col'o Wushlugtou,
