The greatest man Is he who
choosts the right with Invinci
ble resolution; who, resists the
sorest temptations from within
and without; who bears the
heaviest burdens cheerfully;
who is calmest in storms and
most fearlrss under menace and
frowns: whose reliance on
truth. oi virtue, on God. is most
unfaltering. I believe this great
ness to be most common among
the multitude, whose names
are never heard. William E.

JUST A SQUARE PEAL.
All the fity of T. ij Ileum asks the
United States federal bulMiiT dopart-
i
ment in the location of the building'
in this city is a square deal. Xo mat
ter whose property is sold, whosj
"horse is curried" or whose "axe Is J
ground' in other matters. Thisj
should he settled above pott; selfish I
interests. j
The interests of Pendietoti are at i
stake. The c:ty is compact and Is;
prowi:-.i: at an equal rate in all direc- i
tions. ?tr.--et improvement is pro-
gressmg at an equal rate in all direc-j
tions. The center tof th town now j
will bo the center of the town 10 or j
20 or perhaps 5 years hence and so
a location siioul ! bo selected as near
as polhle the business center of the;
ci'y ac i" found today.
I! H iir.j'J-t ,.nd discredilabli- forj
one part of the town to knock an-j
other part. 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

"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.
Olfford Plnchot as secretary of ag
riculture In the cabinet to he form

especially gratifying choice to a large
portion of the nation. As chief for

success. As secretary of agriculture
he would be equally successful.
THE MAX WITH THE SPADE
"What are the chickens lauKhin' for?"
said Suburbs with n spade.
"To see you dig, to see you dig," the
City Cynic said.
"What makes 'em wait, what makes
'em wail?" said Suburbs with
a spade. .
"They're waltin' for the weed you
plant." the City Cynic said.
"For they love a country garden,
with room to scratch and play.
They hope you'll keep on diggin' and
a-rakin' clods away,
An" when you start to plantin vege
tables they'll be gay,
For they're ready to start scrati liln' In
the moruin'!"
"What are the roosters crowln' for?"
said Suburbs with a spade.
"And he.ir the hens a-cacklln''" "Oh.
ye.," the Cynic said.
"They're glad to see those packages
of seed you brought from town,
An' so they're semllu' tiding of the
good times up and down!
For they know you'll never sc.- 'em
when another sun shall rise.
Although It's growlu' weather and the
summer's in the skies;
It's buying feed for chickens every
seed a fellow buys,
For they're ready to start scratchln'
In tlie mornln':"

CROX.IK'S FLAG OP TRITE.

funu time ago when walking
through tile picture gallery at F.lm

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

ANTS AS WEATHER PROPHETS.
Ants as weather prophets afford
new testimony to the cleverness of
these small animals. When you go
out on a spring morning, says the
Chicago Tribune, and find the anis
busily engaged In clearing out their
nests and dragging the sand and bits
of earth to the surface, you may be
sure that no matter how cloudy It K
there will be no rain that day, and
the probabilities are for several days
of good weather.
If, however, you see the ants about
the middle of a spring or summer
afternoon hurrying back to the nest
