NOW FOR XEW WATER SYSTEM. The action of Mayor Murphy In ap pointing: Judge James A. Fee to a place on Pendleton's water commis sion, assures a new gravity system of city water for Pendleton. It la un derstood that four of the five mem bers of the commission are now heart ily In favor of a gravity system and that plans for such will be started at once. This Is a cause for rejoicing In Pendleton, as the hoodoo of a short water supply has hovered over the city during the summer season for a number of years. Every home owner and everj" citizen Interested In the welfare of the city will welcome the decision of the commission to secure a gravity water system from the mountains with genuine delight. Such a system will be the best asset ot the town. It is urged by friends of the gravity system, and correctly, too, that a. debt Incurred for a good system of city water Is not a burden. The water system will begin paying a profit from the day It Is Installed and is the only department of the city that Is abso lutely Independent and self-supporting. The commission will be Justified In upending a quarter of a million dol lars In bringing In a large supply of water from the Blue mountains, as this Indebtedness need not be counted with the city's other bonded Indebted ness. The water bonds will be paid out of the proceeds of the water sys tem and will not be a burden on the taxable property of the city. While the commission Is at work, It will be Justified and should be en couraged in securing a supply for a city of twice or three times Pendle ton's present population. The Initial cost U the only cost and the benefits derived from the fresh water supply will offset th cost many fold. This will be an excellent advertise ment as well as a source of genuine satisfaction to the residents of the city. WHAT UMATILLA XEEDS. The election of United States sena tor and the success of the political parties In Oregon, are questions which are dwarfed into Insignificance when compared to the question of the ad justment of the Oregon tax law, to make it Just, equitable, permanent and stable. This question should now be en gaging the most serious thought and consideration of the Umatilla county delegation to the legislature. Long before the legislature meets the dele gations from this and Morrow county should hold a conference and discuss this vital matter and agree on some plan, some procedure, some policy to te pursued In the coming session of the legislature. Umatilla county Is one of the few growing counties in the state. Her wealth in Irrigated lands, will multi ply within the next few years and she does not want an unjust, narrow, or local tax law which may suit the small, compact counties of the Wll lamette valley, but which would be disastrous to the development of this county and burdensome upon her peo ple. As Umatilla county Is one of the throe counties in the stato most vital ly affected by the Galloway decision on the constitutionality of the stato tax law. It is highly Important that there should be some expression from the united legislative delegation from this county. A legislator's duty Is not necessar ily confined to the sessions of the legislature, but he can be of service to the people of the state between sessions, when emergencies affecting the vital Interests of the people arise, and It seems that right now, while this tax law Is being fought out In the courts, Umatilla county should go on record for some fixed plan, some definite policy which the county needs and which the delegation will follow In the coming session of the legisla ture. Such an expression would have much to do with shaping the tax leg Ulatlon of the legislative session, and It Is better to outline a policy btfore the legislature convenes, for after it convenes there will be scores o.' other questions to dlstruct the members and confuse all their plans. IS THE OREGOXIAX WRONG? The Portland Oregonian says that no good town Is dry and that no dry tewn Is a good town. This is high sounding fallacy. It is a pretty play on words, but It does not bear inves tigation. Recently the entire state of North Carolina went dry and every big town in the state excepting Wilmington and Durham, two of the 10 big cities In the state, voted dry within their own precincts. Wilmington has a population of 20,000 and Durham of about 15,000. Every other big town in the state, Including Charlotte 20,000 population, .shevllle 16,000, Greensboro 12,000, Raleigh 16,000, Xewbern 13,000, voted dry and 78 out of the 98 coun ties In the state were carried com pletely, towns and all, by the prohi bitionists. Are none of these North Carolina towns good towns? Are all these people deluded In voting towns of from 16,000 to 20,000 population dry? As towns go In the south. North Carolina has some excellent represen tatives of southern towns. They are not only bustling manufacturing and lumbering cities, but they are home ard school centers of the first class. And the statistical reports show that they are all growing. They have adopted prohibition from an economic standpoint and they will make a suc cess of It, as will every other city In the United States which conscien tiously tries to get along without the saloon. THE HAY STATE OF THE WEST. If the dreams of Portland capital ists do not fall of fruition, Oregon Is tc become the manufacturing center, the Massachusetts of the Pacific coast, the Bay State of the golden west. Scores of streams falling down their precipitous walls Into the Co lumbia river can be utilized for pow er purposes. They fortunately fall into the' Columbia river, a stream open to navigation for the products of their mills, close beside a transcon tinental line of railroad, giving their products choice of rail or water trans portation. Every lover of Oregon hopes that this dream comes true. Every Ore gonian send9 a good wish to Portland In her effort .to build up the state and develop her magnificent resour ces. The citizens of Medford, Ore., are the first to test the new recall amend ment to the constitution, since its adoption on the first day of June. Councilman John D. Olwell Is to be recalled from his position on the city council of Medford because he moved from the ward In which he was elect ed without the formality of resigning from the council. The recall Is the proper thing for refractory officials, all right, and the people will always have it up their sleeve for such emer gencies. The Umatilla county booklet to be Issued by Sunset Magazine will be a high-class publication and will con tain some entertaining reading mat ter and some attractive Illustrations, Judging from the quality of data and photographs collected in Umatilla county for this purpose. The people of the county are anxiously awaiting Its coming. A Ronton county gardener has Just been offered $15,000 for 18 acres of earden land near Corvallis. And Renton county a "dry" county and Ccrvallls a "dry" town? Is it possible that prohibition did not kill the coun- try around Corvallis? What is all IaveltittWhiked at 1 Read It Before You Eat It this we have heard from the whiskey di ummers? The republican presidential electors for Oregon are J. D. Lee of Multno mah county; F. J. Miller of Linn; A. C. Marsters of Douglas, and R. R. Butler of Gilliam. It Is estimated that these candidates will be elected by an average majority of 35.000 on November 3. It looks like setting the hawk to protect the mouse's nest to place Sen ator Aldrlch at the head of the United States monetary commission. If he is honestly Interested In securing fi nancial legislation in the Interest of the mass of the people he has never shown It by his actions in congress. ROSES.

The department of agriculture be lieves that deer can be raised the same as beef cattle, and Us experts have set themselves to the task of popularizing venison. A bulletin on deer farming will, soon be Issued. The idea is to have stockmen raise deer Just the same as cattle, and the experts declare that they are easily raised and require but little care while their meats command a high figure. Surprise is expressed that they should not have been raised on a commercial scale long before this. In many states there Is a law against killing a deer, but It Is thought that If farmers started to . raise them these laws would be repealed. Fire In Seattle. FMro started In the basement of the Hinckley building at Second and Co lumbia streets, In Seattle, Monuay evening, destroyed property valued at .over $100,000. The largest loser is H. Silver, whose Jewelry stock was valued at $125,000. It was not insur ed. The rest of the damage was cov ered by Insurance. The General 'Demand of the Well-informed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; a laxative which physi cians could sanction for family use because Its component parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial la effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, In action. In supplying that demand with its excellent combination of Syrup of Figs and EJIxIr of Senna, the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remarkable success. That Is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna Is given the preference by the Well informed. To get Its beaeflclal effects always buy the genuine manufac tured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by alls leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle. U the Grocer I If Not, WINK, and See What You Will Get THE WEST.' Come and hear the break of the sea of seas, , The thud of a league-long crest, And hear the shock of the king of seas On the wall of the mighty west. Come and see the plumes of our for est kings, From Sierra's snows to plains; God's amphitheater tier on tier, Where pine and redwood reigns. O, sapphire seas and purple mists! No Italy so blest! A vision of Hesperldes, Land of the sun-down west." Selected. TRAGEDIES OF THE IIILI. Another pathetic tragedy of the frontier Is reported from .Lewlston, in the death of a recluse rancher at the age of 60 years, in the loneliness of his 'secluded cabin Scattered here and there through the mountains and forests, these her mit characters, flotsam of pioneer conditions, are found nil over this western land. We find them In th hills around every lake, and by many a mountain meadow, living their quiet and uneventful lives apart from fam ily and kindred.

As the years go by they grow more timid and shrinking, more abashed and confused In their occasional con tact with civilization and society. Thus their lonely , lives wear away, until some morning the accumstomed curl of smoke Is lacking above the cabin roof, and the faithful dog stands guard as only mourner over the place of death.
