Last night I heard one say how
on the deep
He called his brother, leagues
of dark away,
4 Roused him from Bleep and
quick got his reply
Of that far continent toward
whose shores
Himself was sailing, seeking
some new world;
And, hearing this known mlra-
cle, I prayed,
Out of the new faith, our spirits
might be tuned
That each the other's cry mtght
hear, and each
The other's need might know,
though It ' were night,
Though fountains lay between,
or seas, or days,
Though dark or distance Inter
veneor death. "

THE FEDERAL BUILDING.
There is a lot of activity In bidding
for the federal building site In Pen
dleton and numerous excellent sites
are on the market. The government
should be able to secure a central lo
cation, convenient to all parts of the
city for a reasonable price and it is
hoped that every available piece of
property is entered to give the widest
scope to the choice.
The government is not going to
stick to the exact dimensions of the
tract advertised for. If a central Jo
cation, which will always be in the
business center of the city, can be se
cured, a few feet one way or the other
will not matter and it is hoped that
all the available lots and blocks are
listed.
This U to be a permanent fixture
In the city. It is not for a day or a
year for all time and It should
belocated right and made a real pub
lic convenience, and not a public
ruisance by being placed out of town
or at an Inaccessible point.
This is to be Pendleton's first gov
ernment gift and it should be a mat
ter of pride for all time to come. So
let us locate it right.
HOP LAND FOR FRUIT.
A great howl has been sent up by
Portland brewers that prohibition Is
killing the hop Industry in Oregon.
Why have Willamette valley and Yak
ima hopgrowers plowed up their hop
fields before prohibition was voted?
If it was such a profitable business
and yielded such an income why d!d
not hopgrowers continue to grow
hops until prohibition actually killed
their market?
Instead of growing hops In the
midst of a saloon district, Yakima
growers have plowed up their fields
and planted them to fruit. On the
hop cr"p they secured an Income from
a valuation of about $100 per acre
for their land. In fruit the same
land yields an income on a valuation
of from 1500 to $1000 per acre.
Does this look as though prohibi
tion had killed the hop Industry?
How many Willamette valley growers
will keep land In hops with a value
of from $75 to $125 per acre when
the same land In berries and fruit
can be Increased In value four and
five fold?
dishes uses a liberal supply of red
pepper. Therefore, if Mr. 'Wutterson
has a "fad," It Is that of an epicure
an. One summer afternoon he landed
at the Battery In New York after a
few days' stay on Coney Island, He
remarked to a friend who accom
panied him that they each needed a
new straw hat.
"Now," said Mr. Watterson, "it Is
reckless extravagance to buy a straw
hat up town on Broadway when we
can get one down here on Sixth ave
nue, Just as good, for half the money."
His friend agreed and they purchased
hats in a down town store, after which
Mr. Watterson said, "Now we will
have dinner." His friend acquiesced
in tne suggestion, saying that they
could also get dinner down town for
a great deal less than up town. Mr.
Watterson simply glared, and exclaim
ed, '.'So, sir. I can stand a down town
hat, but not a down town dinner."
On another occasion Mr. Watterson
gave a little dinner at the Waldorf
Astoria. As Is his usual custom, he
interviewed the chef and particularly
dictated the several dishes he desired,
and made some suggestions as to their
preparation. The chief triumph of
the dinner was to be the soup, some
thing new and rare In the way of
potage, and most delicate in flavor.
When the soup was served Mr. Wat
terson expatiated on Its goodness and
surety to tickle the palate. Just about
this time, to his disgust and conster
nation, he observed one of his guests
empty a spoonful of sauce in his
soup. In telling a friend of It after
wards he said, "That chap will be
mighty hungry before I give him an
other dinner."
WATTERSON'S "CRANKY" DIET.
O. O. Stealey writes an Interesting
sketch for Success magazine on the
'cranky" diet of Henry Watterson,
the great Louisville editor.
Of all the public men of the many
I have met, Henry Watterson is the
most fastidious so far as his stomach
is concerned, says Mr. Steadley. If
he cannot supply it with the food he
thinks it need or craves, he will let
It go empty until he can. I have
known him to go for two days when
In out of the way places, without eat
ing, because he could not get what he
wanted.
He Is not so much a big eater as he
la a choice eater, and In all of his
HISTORY OF TEMPERANCE.
In 1S08 there was organized in the
town of Moreau, X. Y., the first tem
perance society of which there is any
reliable history. It was called the
Union Temperance society of Moreau
and Northumberland of Saratoga
county.
The moving spirit In the organiza
tion was Dr. Billy J. Clark. In his
work of ministering to the sick he
had exceptional opportunities for ob
serving and studying the effects upon
the people of the drink habit, and be
came greatly roused upon the subject.
The Increase and marked disastrous
effect of the habit pressed heavily up
on his heart.
During the winter of 1808, at a
court of common pleas, he attempted
to organize a central county temper
ance society, but without success. All
the members of both bar and bench
pronounced the proposed project vis.
lonary and Impracticable.
But Dr. Clark was not discouraged.
On a stormy night In the spring of
1S08, after a day of toll and anxiety
among his patients, dripping with
rain and covered with mud, he uncer
emoniously entered the parsonage of
his pastor, abruptly accosting the pas
tor with the words: "Sir! We shall
become A community of drunkards
unless something is speedily done to
arrest the progress of Intemperance."
As a result of his agitation, a meet
ing was called to form a temperance
society. At the public house of Cap
tain Peter Mawney, of Clark's Cor
ners, resolutions were adopted, the
chief of which was that, "In the opin
ion of this meatlng It Is proper, prac
tical and necessary to form a temper
ance society In this place; the chief
object of this society Is wholly to ab
stain from ardent spirits."
Dr. Billy Clark was elected secre
tary. Hon. Sidney Bersy was presi
dent. To celebrate the 100th anniversary
of the founding of this "first society"
a World's Temperance Centennial con
gress will be held at Saratoga, near
Moreau, this week. All temperance
societies throughout the entire world
will participate In this unique cele
bration, also all churches and many
other organizations.
SMILE AND WAIT.
One of the hardest, and yet one of
the most useful lessons we can ever
learn, Is to smile and wait after we
have done our level best.
It Is a finely trained mind that can
struggle with energy and cheerful
ness toward the goal which he can
not see. But he Is not a great philos
opher who has not learned the secret
of smiling and waiting.
A great many people can smile at
difficulties who cannot wait, who lack
patience; but the man who can both
smile and wait, If he has that tenac
ity of purpose which never turns back
wift surely win.
The fact Is, large things can only be
done by optimists. Little successes
are left to pessimistic people who can
not set their .teeth, clench their fists,
and smile at hardships or misfortunes
and patiently wait
Smile and wait there are whole
volumes In this sentence. It Is so
much easier for most people to work
than to wait
Enough power Is going to waste In
tho Umatilla river every day to oper
ate from 200 to 400 miles of electric
lines In Umatilla county. Enough
capital can be brought together In the
county to start the lines and traffic
In abundance Is awaiting them, so
why are they not In operation? Is
there any good reason why they are
not?
Walla Walla' is raising $200,000 In
the city and county as her part, of
Whitman's $2,000,000 endowment.
Umatilla county should yield at least
$50,000 for an endowment fund for
Pendleton academy. This Institution
Is to Umatilla what Whitman Is to
Walla Walla. Home pride Is-ns strong
here as It Is in Walla Walla.
Three or four of the sheep kings of
Umatilla county were sheep herders
15 years ago. .The same pathway to a
fortune Is open today. There Is no
need for any man leaving the county
to seek a livelihood elsewhere.
REINCARNATION.
In lonely ways of dim forgotten lands,
Ah, do you not recall how once we
went?
Did we not gaze, and hold each other's
hands,
In utter ecstacy of sheer content?
As for what we said we said but
nothing:
The naked truth was ours, that needs
no clothing.
Strange flowers were near us name
less to me now
And strange old cities were they
quick or dead?
We met we two the when or why or
how
Matters no more. That golden hour
Is fled,
But ineffaceable Its glory lingers.
As melodies survive the primal sing'
ers.
And you? The moment eyes encoun
tered eyes, .
Yours were alight with memories
and with dreams.
You are mine, all mine; you know It.
O be wise.
Ere over all our Past and Present
streams,
And saps our secret chains of Joy and
wonder,
And whelms, and whirls us, Impotent,
asunder.
Listen. In visions I will come tonight
And seek with you those old mys
terious lands,
And we shall see, In the gray uncer
tain light.
Do you remember? where the tern
pie stands.
The desolate temple of some faith un
known.
The sunset fading on Its solemn stone.
And we will never leave those lands
again,
But all that should have been for
us, shall be:
Reality foregone, dreams shall remain.
And sweet oblivion cover you and
me.
Dear all, renounce all come! . . .
I do not doubt you
I who have waited centuries without
you.
. Pall Mall Gazette.
HEAR ME) DEAR EARTH!
Hear me, dear Earth!
I long to feel thy warm sweet breath
Caress my feverish", aching brow
And draw me back from death.
Hear me, dear Earth! .
And let thy Inward, pulsing fire
Inspire my soul with strength nnd
love.
To tune my earthly lyre.
Hear me, dear Earth!
Arouhd this frail and mortal clay
Enclose thy tender, loving arms
And rest me for today.
Hear me, dear Earth!
Upon thy welcome breast I lie
Content, while beauteous stellar
worlds
Speed on and, hurrying die.
Tell me, dear Earth!
When swee toned bells their vespers
chime
Upon the silent evening air
With melody sublime,
The end of Life;
Why soars the bird against the sky,
Deluged In light, with bursting song
Of Joyous mlnlstrelsy?
Hear me, dear Earth!
Thy heart sings far beyond the night
And laughs at time and boundless
space
Teach me to read aright.
Perry Relgelman In Salem States,

OLDEST MAN LrVTNG.
The oldest man living Is probably
the negro Stauman, who was re
cently exhibited In London. He Is
said to be 146 years old. It has been
proved, that when, 75 years ago he
entered Into the service of the Cape
Colony he was already a very old
man. His daughter died In 1894 at
the age of 90. Stauman was born In
1760, nine years before Napoleon. He
Is still In full possesion of his physi
cal and mental faculties.
ONE CITY WITH NO TAXES.
Orson, In Sweden, has no taxes.
During the last 30 years the authori
ties of this place have sold over one
million pounds worth of trees, and
by means of judicious replanting
have provided for a similar Income
every 30 or 40 years. In conse
quence of this source of commercial
wealth there are no taxes, and local
railways and telephones are free, as
are education and many other things.

THE JACKASS AND DEBS.
Eugene V. Debs, the socialist lead
er, tells the following story on him
self: "I was to address a ruoilc meeting
and there was Intense prejudice
against me, so the young man who
had to Introduce me thought he would
try to disarm It.
" 'Debs Is hated by some people,"
he said, 'because he has been In
strikes. This Is not right. It Is the
law of nature to defend " yourself.
Why. even a dog will growl If you
try to deprive him of the bone he Is
gnawing, a goat will butt If you get
In his way and you all know what a
Jackass will do if you monkey with
him. Ladles and gentlemen, this Is
Debs, who will now address you.' '"
