This is Pendleton's op-j port'inity to secure a handsome gift from the government, a gift which mav be either a blessing or n curse , just according to Pendleton's actions! today. If the federal building is lo cated Aut of town on East Court street or on West Webb sireet, it I would be a curse to the business in terests for nil time to come. F.ut if it Is located near the center j of the c;ty whefe it can be reached j with equal comfort from all parts of i the city, it will be a perpetual bless-j ing. The government is asked to give the people of Pendleton a square deal no matter for personal Interests, pri vate profits or factional fights. This matter should be settled on a higher, broador ground than usually marks the course of common real estate jug gling. I"A VOK.S SAVIXC; 1JAXKS. "rit'y-lght per cent of the money in circulation in this country is un acoui.t ! for t y the lianks, cle.ii ing houses .ir.J otntr depositories. "Over $5,000,000 wan invosted last year it. money orders of small amounts by people who had them made payable to themselves, as a means of saving their money, Instead of placing it In banks," declared F. N. McMillan, chief United States pos tal Inspector at Washington, D. C, In an address before the convention of the Presidential Postmasters' as sociation of California, in which he advocated the establishment of postal savings banks. Chief Inspector McMillan asserted that this 08 per cent represented the money that was being hoarded, which would quickly pour into government postal tavlngs banks If they were es tablished. He pointed out that the postal banks were not Inimical to the com mercial and other savings banks, as the former would deposit their funds with local banks, and thereby put Into circulation vast sums which were now being hoarded. JIOLMXn WKSTKRX WOOL. The American Wool and Cotton Re porter of Ronton prints the following comprehensive editorial on the pros pective growth of the wool storage warehouse In the west. A thl Is a topic f.f Intense interest to Umatilla county and all of eastern Oregon, the Hist Otegonian takes pleasure In giv ing the Reporter's thought upon the subject wide publicity. It Is us fol lows: Wool growers of the northwest range states have already felt the In fluence of the movement to hold western wool clips in storage ware houses provided by members of the national and local associations. This movement had Its Inception somewhat late in the present season too late, In fact, to bring about all that its promoters had hoped to ac complish this year, but enough has been done to practically demonstrate the feasibility of the scheme and to greatly enthuse western wool Inter ests. The credit for this Idea Is largely due to Secretary George S. Walker of the National Wool Growers' associa tion; and President J. A. Delfelder, of the Wyoming association, who suc ceeded in Interesting a sufficient num ber of wool growers to establish a large storage warehouse at Omaha this year. Accommodations were made for approximately 5,000.000 pounds of wool, and from present Indications, the Omaha house will at least ap proach the 4,000.000 mark this sea son. A patron of this warehouse may receive the usual advances on his clip if he desires, without placing his business In the hands of the commis sion men, and is enabled to hold until in his judgment the market is ripe for selling The plan embraces a much larger scope than the mere element of stor age, and will be fully worked out be fore another clip is to be handled. The Idea of western growers handling their own clips, instead of selling dur ing the shearing season or consign ing, was not geii''ia!Iy understood at the outset, and many wool growers were slow in taking up with the plan. A not uncommon understanding was that this plan did not materially differ from the ordinary consignment me'hod: others, with the seemingly inherent timidity of the sheep man, held aloof until someone else had given It a trial. Now that it is quite generally un derstood, and its good effect already noticed, the idea bids fair to result in a must general movement another season, anl it Is the opinion of many that fully one-third of next year's clip will find, its way Into storage warehouses provided by and under the control of western men identified with the sheep business. CHiXRETTES HAD. The men who have maintained for years that excessive cigarette smok ing is injurious will gludly note the action nf ihe manager of one of the l.gg...t mining companies of Ne vada, who has foi bidden his employes to smoke cigarettes while on duty, because "the cigarette habit impairs the usefulness, and a cigarette smok er is not worth as much money to the company a ina:i v. h i does not smoke them " Randy before lias such a commer cial estimate b.-cii placed upun the ef fects of this particular form of self indulgence. '.Some scientist is now seeking con trasts between racial energy and cig arette consumption. Some startling contrasts come to mind. KAH.ltO I'i I'AILT. The somnolent railroads which al lowed thousands of crippled freight cars and scores .if disabled locomo tives to accumulate during the busi ness depression following the panic have been sharply whacked with a "big stick" wielded by Fred W. Up liam, president of the Illinois Manu facture! s' association, who, In an open letter, has called railroad managers to task because of the car shortage now threatened on. account of their shortsightedness. As yet Mr. Upham has received no reply', and It Is a safe hazard that In the reply, if he gets one. there will be no further talk of hard times, and shrinking tonnage. Every breeder ought to fit up some thing for the fairs this fall. If you do not feel like going the entire cir cuit, take your stock to your local fair, but large exhibitors should go the entire route, saya the Rural Spir it. Fair managers have gone to con siderable expense this year in the In terest of live stock, and their efforts. In this direction should be encouraged and we "trust that breeders through out will do their part In making the livestock departments of all the fnlrs one of the leading features.

Pierpont Morgan have been made to Lord Rob erts for the fl;g of truce brought in by General Cronje on the field of Paardobcrg. says a London dispitch. It is a dingy bit of cloth which In or dinary circumstances would not be considered fit for the dust bin. 'et the story goes that the American nill I.onaire is willing to pay $ 1 0.ood for It, or indeed any amount which Lord Roberts might name. It Is . one of "Police' most valued possessions and It is doubtful if all the millions of the millionaire would purchaser it. funu time ago when walking through tile picture gallery at F.lm hrim, the Inike of Marlborough's pal ace. Morgan espied in a glass-topped cabinet a faded piece of paper, the writing on which could only be read by a magnifying glass. This was the f.-.mous dispatch written by the great soldier to announce to Qip.vi Anne that the field of Rlenhcim was won. Pierpont Morgan stayed gasing at it for a quarter of an hour. "At one time." lie said, almo.-t tearfully. "I might have bought it. Hut thf duchess' wealth obviates nil hope of r.iy ever owning it now."
