This is the state of man: Today
he puts forth
The tender leaves of hope: to
morrow blossoms.
And bears his blushing honors
thick upon him;
The third day comes a frost, a
killing frost,
And when he thinks, good,
easy man, full surely
His greatness Is a-rlpenlng
nips his root,
And then he falls.
Shakespeare.
HOW TO GET LOW RATES.
There is one way In which Pendle
ton can get lower fire Insurance rates,
and that Is by Installing a chemical
engine and other improved fire fight
ing apparatus. When the new city
hall Is completed and, the home for
the fire department is equipped, the
city should install some new appara
tus. The volunteer fire department
deserves tome new fire fighting; equip
ment and the city needs It
It has been said repeatedly that
better fire fighting equipment would
reduce fire insurance rates and If this
iii so, the property owners and busi
ness men should find it out. Every
dollar Invested, in good fire fighting
apparatus is an asset to the city and
this should receive the earnest consid
eration of the council.
The fire boys deserve whatever the
city Is able to furnish them in the
way of equipment
IF WE HAD THE ELECTRIC LINE.
A woman from the east end of the
county, with her arms full of bundles
of merchandise, while trying to boar!
the O. R. & X. tram leaving Pendle
ton for Walla Walla at 5 o'clock last
evening, gave Pendleton a red hot tip
which is worth remembering.
"If you fellers would get a move on
you and get them electric cars down
here a person could go home with her
chopping with some comf'irt," she
said as she climbed Into the coach.
Yes; if we would only get that
"move" on us.
If the council would get a "move"
on it and grant a franchise to the
company which promises to make
Pendleton the center of a system of
electric lines.
If capitalists would only get a
"move" on them and assure the coun
cil that they mean business.
Several "moves" are' needed to hur
ry up the day when a "person can
come to Pendleton and do their shop-
uln and sret home with some com
fort"
If we had the electric line we could
send home scores of women every
day with their arms filled with Pen
dleton bundles. It is worth thinking
about, even In this hot weather.
HENRY WATTE RSON.
It is a pleasure to hear a deserving
man praised while alive and In pos
session of his faculties that he may
enjoy It The world too often re
serves Its praise until the man or wo
man is dead. It is characteristic of
humanity to underestimate a man's
work while he Is alive, and overestl
mate It when he Is dead..
The East Oregonlan takes pleasure
In printing the following excellent es
timate of Henry Watterson, the veter
an editor of the Louisville Courier
Journal, from the Baltimore Sun:
Colonel Watterson, we believe, la
the greatest living literary man. His
vocabulary is Illimitable; his style is
electric; his figures of speech are
overpowering. He Is a mighty phrase
maker; an author, Inventor and origl
jibtor of epigrams that will never die
no, never.
His compositions bristle and glitter
with all sorts of novel and amazing
personages, metaphors, tropes and
Images. "The star-eyed goddess of
rtform," "the hegoats of high fi
nance," "patriotism and a pension,"
the lean .wolves of plutocracy," "the
hills of Yubadam,"- "from hell to
breakfast," "the glascutis whangdoo
dle and oofdegoof, the gin rlcky and
the bedilda," "the nigger, the- trigger
ami the Ku-Klux-Klan,"
He slings rhymes and philosophy
with magnificent lavishness; he Is
tuver at a loss for a word, clause,
sentence, paragraph, chapter, book,
tome, treaties or library. Ho has
written more than 10,000 articles on
the Hayes-TUden controversy and Is
still going at full speed.

through this station will be given to
the farmers of the west through bul
letins and press reports and it Is tfe
lieved that the results of the study
will help the dry land farmers in their
struggles with the desert.
So while people are cursing Andrew
Carnegie for having accumulated his
multi-millions, he is devoting his
wealth and energies to the advance

of scientific facte and the investiga
tion of "the mysteries which surround
us. in every walk in life. '
This desert botanical garden and
experimental station ' Is but one of
the numberless arms of the Carnegie
Institute. It reaches into every un
explored field and is using the mil
lions of the steel king to bring the
hidden secrets of nature from their
hiding places to be used for the edifi
cation of humanity.
THE WORLD'S WORK.
In. every community in the world,
something of the world's great for
ward movement Is carried on. Here
In Umatilla county the Presbyterians,
Methodists, Baptists, Christians are
Invading the fartherest corners of the
county with church organizations and
Sunday Schools. On the Umatilla res
ervation among the Indians, the Cath
olics and Presbyterians are diligently
striving to Improve conditions.
These tasks seem commonplace and
monotonous to the pessimist. But they
are parts of the great movement. They
are intimately connected with mis
sionary efforts in India, Africa, Alas
ka. Like rivulets Joined to form thj
great rivers, these struggling efforts
combine to make up the work of the
world.
So every effort should be encourag
ed. Xo matter how Insignificant it
may seem it is a part of the plan. It
requires all the united efforts of all
the moral forces of the world to keep
the world moving ahead. So every
citizen should help wherever he can.
No one knows how far reaching and
vital a small service may be in the
reckoning day of human civilization.

prices submitted by 1 properly own

In values, according to these figures.

Farmers Suffer from Storm.
During the .recent storm, five of
the largest grain fields in the vicin
ity of Tygh Ridge were damaged by
a hail storm of unusual violence, says
The Dalles Chronicle. These were
those of Messrs. L. Rondeau, William
Hunter, Owen Jones, Trudell & Den
nis and E.. Anderson, and situated on
the summit of Tygh Ridge. The
storm swept across the Des Chutes
divide, It is said, by those in the city
yesterday from that district, leaving
hail stones an Inch In diameter, and
that many drifts of hailstones were
a foot deep In guileys. The grain was
crushed to the ground, and it is fear
ed that the crops so injured will be
a full loss. Xorth and west of the
hall belt the only damage done wa
from the rush of water down the
canyons, where, In some Instances,
small buildings were swept away, and
whatever could be moved and ln the
path of the storm was carried down
with the waters. Aside from this the
crops were uninjured by the rain
and there was no large loss of stock.
Install New DnMgi.
M. H. Hare, one of the owners of
the dredge at Pierce City, was an ar
rival last night from Spokane and
left this morning for a business visit
to the Pierce section, says the Lewis
ton Teller. It is understood the visit
of Mr. Hare at this time Is in connec
tlon with plans for the installation of
ia second dredge in the Pierce placer
fields.
The pierce dredge has been in ope
ration for the past two years, and the
results have been most satisfactory.
While the company has declined to
divulge any information as to the ac
tual amount of . gold secured, it is
claimed the machine has yielded an
average or 1UU a day above ex
penses. The company owns a large
tract of the high placers in the
Pierce section, and by the Installation
of more dredges would increase their
earnings accordingly.

Cottolene will make more palatable food
than lard, and food that any stomach can
digest with ease. Lard is a friend of
indigestion.
Cdttolene is put up in

most lard comes in bulk,

You can prove every word
