' Fendleton owes a .lebt of gratitude to her volunteer fire companies, this morning, which no Idle and empty words may discharge. In the dead of night, when the fire monster awakes to lick up the homes a: d business blocks, this watchful, alert, vigorous and efflcU-nt orginl latlon of brave men. le.ips t' the- breach, heroically defending the property of the city. With a stiff wind blowing ' last night, it was threatening for a time-. But work saved the day. Dwelling houses which were completely en veloped In flames several time were actually saved. Intact, except for a little blistered paint. This kind of work really counts for something In the life of the city. The fire companies last night saved the city perhaps a hundred thousand dollars by arriving In time on the scene ami by efficient work after arriving. Hereafter, whatever the fire boys want. In the way of fire fighting ap paratus, let them have It. They have, earned It. IS HOOP KIYFR SCARED? From the angry tone of the Hood River New-L-ttT In speaking of thb East Oregonian's announcement ot the rivalry between Hermiston and Hood River In the production of earl strawberries, one would think the Hood River folks are already scared. Hermiston and Hood River are simply er.gagfd In a friendly rivalry to hei- which can first reach Portland next spring with ripe strawberries. It Is no serious matter. No matter who wlrs In the commendable con test, nobo ly will die or lose anything over It. So there Is no reason for the Hood River paper being angry. Hermiston strawberry plants are now sending out roots Into the rich humus of the Irrigated belt, are bracing their feet In the sand and gripping the earth with the strong hands of their fruit roots and when the early spring sun opens up Its batteries at Hermiston and the warm winds get busy and the trickling cur rent from the Umatilla reservoir touches the earth, let Hood River look out The East Oregonlan la not a "sci entific" strawberry raiser, as one would take the Hood River News letter to be, Judging from the In comprehensible technical terms and words used by that paper, but the East Oregonlan Is backing Hermiston and believes that without any array o scientific words or phrases t as sist, that Hermiston will send rich, ripe berries to Portland first next spring. MIRACLE OF THE WIRELESS. Recently the wireless telegraph stations ultuated high up on the Alps, In the vicinity of St. Oothard, have caught vagrant messages sent out by steamships crossing the Atlantic, perhaps a thousand miles away. These messages were meaningless to the patient watchers on the sum mit of the Alps. They were vagrant words whispered Into the realms of space to bo caught at random by any ono listening. This makes one think of the mira cle of the wireless telegraph. It flings out Its messages Into the vast space of the heavens, not knowing who will hear the cry of the nlr, not dreaming whoso listening Instrument on some detain mountain top will catch the whispered words, and wotuler at tholr meaning. Imagine the air filled with messa ges, criss-crossing through space. Imagine the receptive Instruments situated on the far away cViasts and on the mountain tops catching the confused words flung out from the hurrying steamship, the busy marts of trade, the centers of news and ac tivity. It Is a really marvelous pic ture to behold. But It will be more marvelous' still when the wireless telegraph Instru ment Is so far perfected as to direct Its messages to a given point, to a given receiver, without discovery by the listening "ears" of other Instru ments. That will be the true marvel of the thing when one man may talk to a certain other man a thousand miles away, through the air. without fear of his message being Interrupted, heard or delayed by any other man or Instrument. That day Is coming. The Marconi's and the Edlsons are still at work In the miracle-rooms of science. REMINISCENT. Two years ago, three years ago and four years ago when It was be coming apparent every day that Pen dleton would soon need a larger and better water supply, the East Ore gonlan urged upon the city councils and water commissions then In office to secure a water and power supply on the upper Umatilla river for fu ture use. Month after month the necessity of si curing the available sites for the city was urged by this paper, and still no action was taken, not a movement was made. Today the city is seriously seeking a larger water supply. There Is ur gent need fr such a supply fur rea sons of health and public necessity. An engineer Is being sent out at this late date, thank? to the present water commission, but what will he find? He will find that private corpora tions have very recently located all the available water sources and pow er sites. He will find that the city of Pendleton Is "up against It" for a water supply. He will firld that the water of the Umatilla river. Instead of being available for the use of the whole people of this city who will ur gently need It within two years more, Is all cornered by private corpora tions as a source of profit for two or three men. But then, the East Oregonian.ls only an agitator, a blatherskite, a trouble-maker, a scold, and Its editor a newcomer, a Johnny-eonv-lately, anyway. Let us listen to the "old timers;" that Is the only safe pro cedure. The "old-timers" have th' Interests of the city "at heart." But where are we going to get the water? To whom will we now pay a handsome price? 'Who Is respon sible for the failure of the water commissions of two and three years ago In securing an adequate supply? And who now "owns" the Umatilla river? SOMETHING FTLSE IX LIFE. Xine-tenths of the newspapers of this country devote the greater part of their editorial space to politics, in season and out, says Field and Farm. Many discuss no other subject. The editors seem to be under the Impres sion that nothing else under the sun is worth mentioning. Granted that the heads of all families like politics, It must be ad mitted that there are mothers and growing boys and girls to whom the wearying details of campaigns and candidates are Insufferably tedious. It would Increase the education and moral value of American news papers if they would endeavor to realize that the game of politics Is not all there Is In life. Campaign funds are coming to be considered absolutely useless, for the reason that the spirit of Independence and personal Investigation on the part of voters Is everywhere apparent and no amount of campaign oratory can change very many votes. Within a few years such things aa campaign orators will be unknown. People will dr their own thinking, entirely, and would consider It an Insult for any man to climb upon a platform and begin to tell them what they should or should not do, what they should or should not believe. And this In. dependence will not stop at politics. The time Is not far , distant when evry man and woman will do their own religious thinking, also. THE CALL OF THE PRAIRIE. I love the grand old ocean When Its "deeply, darkly blue," And when grey clouds bend lightly down It's grayest mists to woo; I love to watch It's waves roll in And break in snowy foam. Hut the Prairie keeps a calling: 'Vome home! Conic home! Com, liiyne!" I love the grand old ocean When the sun sinks In the west, And the great gulls wing their even ing flight Across Its darkening breast; When the little "divers" ride the waves Or plunge beneath the foam, But the Prairie keeps a calling: "Come home! Come home! Come home!" I love the grand old ocean When It's singing soft and low, And I love it when Its voice is like A thousands winds a-blow; I love its dash upon the sands, Its beat. Its boom and foam. But the Prairie keeps a calling: "Come home! Come home! Come home!" Catherine K. Zelgler. There is In the uncertainty of man's estate Great cause to wonder how and why and when, The thing called Life endeared It self to men. As bucking up against the fist of fate, We learn too early, or again too late That with hard luck existence ever flows. And little waits us here but knock out blows, For Justice lags or else Is out of date. Tet here we stay and cumber beau teous earth With banking woes, divorces, greed and mirth Of fleshly follies to which all are prone Save Imbeciles, who are exempt alone.
