IX APPRECIATION.
' 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.
"Tis strange how manifold his stren
uous kicks
Yet to it all how mankind sticks
and sticks!
