To be patient Is not always easy, To be cheerful Is much harder ' still. But at least we can always be pleasant, If we make up our minds that we will. And It pays every time to be kindly, ' Although you feel worried and blue; If you smile at the world and look cheerful, The world will soon smile back at you. So try to brace up and look pleasant, No matter how long you are down, Good humor Is always contagious But you banish your friends When you frown. Selected. TO THE LEGISLATORS. Here Is a personal message, a di rect and driving reminder to you. Bill Smith and John Jones and Dick Brown and every other Individual member of the Oregon legislature: Are you, John Jones, going to be the Individual member of this legis lature who will sell your soul to the corruptionlsts who are- trying to over throw the people In the election of United States senators? Are you going to be the traitor who shall come home from Salem brand ed with infamy and odium, a treach erous, dishonest, corrupt tool who took part in delivering the state leg islature over to the boodlers? Are you going to be one of the Indi vidual members who defy the sover eign people of this state who have de clared by a majority of 58,000 votes that the people's choice shall be heed ed in the election of a United States senator? Do you expect to defy the sover eign electorate of this state In this fundamental matter and still come home and live a respected man among your neighbors? Or are you willing to come home wearing the earmarks of the corruptionlsts, wearing the col lar of the boodlers, carrying in your heart the knowledge that you have been a party to a corrupt scheme to et aside the will of tho people? No matter if a democrat has been elected. The people are greater than you or a dozen or a hundred like you. Tou are not a dictator. Tou are a servant, nn agent, a- representative. Tou have no choice higher or more binding than the people's Instruc tions to you. Will you do your duty or will you shirk it? Are you a friend of the sovereign people of this state or are you a member of the little selfish gang which Is trying to retain lta grip on the patronage and offices of the state? This is a matter for you to decide, Mr. Legislator. THE FRONTIER VANISHES. The total disappearance of mining towns formerly graced the map of eastern Oregon, reminds the thought ful observer that the old frontier set tlements and frontier conditions are rapidly vanishing from this section of the state. We are getting down to the bedrock settlements, to the per manent growth and substantial civ ilization which is to "stick." Dozens of flourishing mining towns formerly graced the may of eastern Oregon. Now they are but memories. At one time thousand of people swarmed through the hills, eager, gold-hungry, adventurous, fleeting. But they are not now to be found. The abandoned camps and worked out gulches are even more desolate for one -having heard the noise of life. All through eastern Oregon are the wrecks of once lively little sawmill towns In the foothills. During the halcoyn period of sawmllllng In the cary eighties, when timber was plen tiful hundreds of men made fortunes and built up respectable settlements. Now the mountains are stripped the t)wns dead, the settlements for saken and the waste lands more worthless for having been stripped of their protecting forests. The fact remains that the agricul tural belt, the substantial settlements depending upon the rich soil of the eastern Oregon counties are the per manent ground work for eastern Ore gon's civilization. Towns like Pendleton and La Grande, founded upon a permanent basis with agriculture. Irrigation and stockralslng as resources, are going constantly forward. The growth may not be swift, but It Is certain and steady. The once, desert land of Umatilla, Union and Baker counties is now supporting what promises to be the most substantial, most prosperous and most progressive population of the northwest. Unlike the frontier settlements of the mining and saw mill districts, this country founded upon agriculture will grow stronger and more prosperous with age. It will not see its resources dlmln Ish, but rather as cultivation and care and Irrigation enriches the soil, the resource will constantly Increase and grow stronger. SCHOOL DAYS. On Monday, September 7, the first Monday in the month, the public schools doors of Pendleton will open and 1000 merry children will don their fall bonnets, gather up their books and "hike" to school." It Is a pleasant time of year, this Indian summer, school time and enj of harvest. From all the fartherest streets and lanes the little tots will come to school and life takes on a new aspect. The town always awak ens from the semi-conscious period of summer when the crisp morning and school days arrive. Already numerous farmers are In quiring for houses In town and by the time harvest Is entirely over and grain hauling done, the public schools will be brimming full. It promises to be a good school year. Increased attendance from every part of the county Is promised and teachers and students are look ing forward to the opening day with enthusiasm and delight. Pendleton offers more In an educational way this fall than ever before. The schools are better equipped, have a wide scope and better organization than ever before. Farmers seeking a place to educate their children cannot afford to over look the advantages of Pendleton. The city has made special effort to make her schools attractive. Noth ing has been left undone to meet the demands of the surrounding country in the way of equipment and the standard of the schools Is even better than the material ulpment of the schools. There Is a school spirit that is con tagious. Even the little third and fourth graders have their yells, their mottoes, their class rivalries, their athletic contests. And out of this class 'rivalry and splendid school spir it, comes a m,ental progress, an ad vancement in their studies which is impossible where there Is less spirit and rivalry. Are you coming to Tendleton? Are you ready for school? Will you take advantage of the excellent opportu nity which this city has placed before you? ITS A GOOD SIGN. From all Indications it seems that a resumption of expenditures for con struction, improvements and equip ment is considered by most of the railroads. The physical-condition ,of the roads would be much benefited by such ex penditures, which In turn would ben efit general business. Orders for any considerable quantity of equipment would Immediately give the steel bus iness a period of Increased activity, and as steel Is considered the barom eter of trade, this activity through the Increased tonnage of the railroads, and the employment of additional la bor, would Inevitably extend to other industrial lines. It Is said by a traveler that a bar ren Island In the Persian gulf Is the hottest place on earth. Well, per haps after this traveler passes through the sand hills of the Columbia river between Arlington and Celllo about 2 o'clock some afternoon, he will long to get back to the cooler breezes of the Perslon gulf.

MAHTIN, 3S2 Bowen Avenue, Chieago, 111., Chaplain Garfield Circle, writes: "Peruna 'has been a blessing to oar family for a good many years, as we have all used it off aul on forTolds and catarrh, and I have given it to all of my children with tli-? best of results. "I found that a cold left me with catarrh of the head in a very had form. My head was stopped up, I had frontal headaches, my eyes bothered me, and there was a nasty dropping in my throat which nauseated mo and made It Impossible many times for me to eat my breakfast. "As soon as I began to use Peruna I found it relieved me, my head soon cleared up and in a remarkably short time I was rid of catarrh. "I can, therefore, give my personal experience with your valuable medi cine, and am pleaded to do so." People who prefer solid to liquid medicines can now secure Peruna tab lets, which contain the medicinal in gredients of Peruna.

And by the time the fed eral building is completed, It Is hoped that a Carnegie library building may be ready for the carpenters and brick masons. There Is plenty In sight for Pendleton to keep the builder's at work perpetually. Honestly, now, are you not proud of Pendleton's record for the first two months of prohibition? Isn't It worth something to have the streets rid of drunken men, beer kegs and other evidences of the saloon? Xo town in the world ever advertised how many saloons It supports. That Is enough to convince you that nobody Is really proud of the liquor business. The first electric street car line is In operation io Warsaw, Poland. The employes work from 7 a. m. until 11:30 p. m. Motormen get 82 to 67 cents a day and conductors 62 to 6S cents.
