Th. re are hermit souls that live
withdrawn
In the p'.ace of their self-
cor.tent;
There are souls l.ke stars, that
dwell apart
In a fellowl.'ss firmament;
There are pioneer souls that
, blaze their paths
Where highways never ran
Hut let me life by the side of
the road
And be a friend to man.

A VITALIZE!! NEEDED.
Can Pendleton afford to let the
Commercial association die? Do the
business men of the city Intend to sit
supinely by while the organization
that has done so much In the past
goes by the board?
Present conditions at the club are
not favurable. The membership has
dwindled until the revenues from
dues scarcely meet expenses. The re
maining members are now marshaled
with difficulty when there Is work to
do. The association rooms are dingy
and the furniture is discreditable to
the city. This year the gymnasium,
with a splendid equipment. Is lying
Idle.
Rut this situation will not continue.
Pendleton cannot do without the as
sociation. If it tried to the city would
soon lose Ks proud position as one of
the best and liveliest little cities of
the northwest. It would become a
.ountry village. The town would no
longer have the nerve and the back
bone that comes from organization.
Some people urge that since the
Wenaha club has been started a com
mercial association with social feat
ures Is no longer needed. But the
Wenaha club Is a private concern and
w hile It Is excellent In many respects,
it does not meet the entire need. Pen
dleton should have a good live Com
mercial club with nicely furnished
club rooms. Membership should be,
a:' It Is now, open to all who desire
to help In the work for the good of
the town. It should be a place where
visitors within the city could be taken
without apology; where the business
men of the town could gather and
where the welfare of the city and
tt.unty would always be a live sub
ject. A commercial club without so
cial features would be a fizzle for
s ciab,!lty Is an essential element In
business.
Some time this winter the Com
inerHil associsiitlon should be revive-!.
The rooms should be fitted
up In a modern manner and every
business and professional man In the
city should be gotten upon the rolls.
Such a move will certainly take place
and every public-spirited man in the
t'-wn should be ready to help when
the movement starts.
SPEED THE EVOLUTION.
At the experiment station meeting
last week Prof. Jardlne, government
dry farming expert, declared that by
I roi ess of evolution the f irming
methods, of this county will some day
be changed; that annual crops will be
raised and that as a natural sequence
the big farms will be broken up.
The East Ongonlan believes that
this Is true but it does not believe
that It Is going to require ages for
the transformation to take place.
Furthermore, It believes that evolu
tion, In this Instance at least, may be
greatly hastened by proper campaign
ing on the part of such men as Mr.
Jardlne and the O. A. . professors,
whA were here at that time.
Because they found Umatilla coun
ty's wheat section already blessed the
scientific agriculturalists should not
forsake us. Though the wheatgrow
crs are doing well now they would not
object to greatar profits If they may
be had through the use of better
methods. Meanwhile, there Is a city
near the center of the county that
would like to e more homes upon
the mllos of fertile land about It.
The Ertct Oivi?onlan predicts that
wln'ii the cast i'matllla project Is set
tied and the Pendleton-Walla Walla
ii terurlian line has been built, the
evolution of the big wheat ranches
i::t. diversified farms will be rapid.
The Irrigatlotil-its will set an example
or Industry for the rest of the coun
ty ainl the electric line will make
hind ailj"ln!ng It too hltrh priced for
wheat raising.
A MAM.V CALLING.
Tiiere Is a young man from this
li unty who will shortly leave for the
e.i.-t to take his graduating year's
work in one of the large universities.
When he Is through he will return to
t::ke (barge of one of the largest
heat ranches In the county; a ranch
upon which in implements alone 112.
('00 Is invested. It will be his first
work as a man.
There would be less criticism of the
idle rich and there would be fewer
degenerate sons of sturdy sires If
seme other young men could be In
stilled with the Idea that to work Is
the most manly thing on earth and
:hat tloy are not lowering themselves
uhen they go upon a farm.
To be the toss of a I'matlll.i county
wheat ranch is a position of which
ir.y young man should be proud and
it furnishes belter post graduate work
than this particular young man could
find in blowing around In leisure with
(ongetiial companions.
The world will deeply regret the
tragedy that resulted from the flight
of Orville Wright's airship yesterday
I'.ut such accidents are but the price
ot progress. Because an airship kills
a man now and then the Uea of trav
eling the air should not be given up.
Orville Wright's aeroplane has been
the wonder of the world and it is to
be hoped that the daring aeronaut's
nfrve wll not be shaken by yester
day's mishap.
The trouble with the socialists,
those of the parlor variety at least, is
that they dream of what the world
might be and expect the dream to be
realized -at once. They forget ihat
civilization Is a gradual growth; that
man Is a rising animal and not a fal
len angel. They devote themselves to
their theories while the trusts and
other enemies of the public get away
with the goods.
A grand Jury will be called Mon
day and some delayed Justice will
doubtless be forthcoming. But If the
lr.w taking the Indicting power away
from the district attorney had not
been passed the blind goddess with
the scales and sword would not be so
far behind in her work.
Many people are laughing up their
sleeves because of the trouble the Co
lumbia river fishermen are having.
They are the men who resented the
bringing out of the rival fish bills
last spring and voted for both meas
ures as a rebuke to the salmon
catchers.
When the city councllmen arc
through with the various matters that
now require their attention they
might take up the consideration of
the "pes Moines Idea."
The Pittsburg steel king who gave
his children four million dollars each
at a breakfast party, certainly had a
remorseful feeling.
The high school band will he wel
comed. Pendleton needs a band that
will play.
The district fair will commence

PliOTErriNG THE C'UUKENCY.
The United States government Is
wily, and some of the secret trade
marks and signs it uses on its cur
rency, and other thlngsc which are
apt to be Imitated by counterfeiters
would puzzle even a Sherlock Holmes
to decipher.
There is probably not one man In
a hundred outside of the treasury de
partment, who knows that In eacn
corner of one of our paper bank nptes
under the number of the bill, Is a di
minutive letter; and there Is not one
man In two thousand who knows the
significance of these letters. They
are one of the governments protec
tions against the producers of bogus
money. A ten-thousand dollar bill
that does not bear these letters is not
worth four Kood cents. But the mere
existence of the tiny letters In the
proper place does not make the bill
eorwl Kach of the little characters
contains a hidden meaning, but the
explanation Is simple. Take the last
four figures of the number on any
bill, no matter what Its denomina
tion, and divide them by four. You
will have either a reminder of zero,
one, two or three. If the remainder
is zero the letter on the bill will be A.
If It Is one, the letter will be B; if
It Is two, the letter will be C, and If
It is three, the letter will be D.
A person can tell Instantly, upon
making this test whether or not a bill
Is good Scrap book.
A man who attends strictly to his
own business has a good steady Job.
THE BOOK OF THE WAKS.
When the book of the wars of men
Is done
And the story Is truly penned
From the yellowing page of the tale
begun
To the chapter that holds The End
When the trumpets of peace the
world around
Have blent In a chorus grand.
And the battle flag shall no more be
foun d
As a shadow above the Jand,
Will we keep the Book of the Wars
of Men
In n high and an honored place
That our children's sons may be
thrilled again
With the stories their eyes may
trace?
Will we cherish the book In faithful
pride
That men of a future age
May acquaint themselves with the
ones who died
That the volume might have a
page?
Will the Book of the Wars of Men
tell truth? j
Will It mingle the songs and cheers
With the sacrifice of the beardless
youth
And the dew of a mother's tears? j
Will It blazon in gold the noble deeds i
That won a forgotten fame? j
Will It toll of the grips of a ceaseless
greed
That has wrought for a nation's
shame? '
i
O, the Rook of the Wars of Men; it;

Till the wakening of the world,
Till 'he banners that tell of scorns
and hates i
In the glory of peace are furled I

With tireless hands he feeds the coal
In tlie thundering monster's maw,
And hour by hour he trusts his soul
to the Cod whom he never saw,
And hour by hour his life depends on
the care of the other man
Who, scanning the track where It
slopes or bends, keeps vigil as best
he can.
II.
Swiftly the miles go flitting away as
the tireless monster speeds.
And bravely he labors as best he may,
giving the f 1 It needs;
And if dangers rise while his eyes are
dim as he looks In the fiery glare
He must trust to the skill anil the care
of him who watches beside him
there.
III.
Ho may not sit with his arms at rest
and watch for the danger sign.
He may only hope that they do their
best who are guarding the line:
Hour by hour his work Is done and
hour by hour his fate
Depends on the care and the call of
one who may give him word too
late.

The hiss of steam Is the sweetest song
that ever he hears or knows,
And In every throb as they rush along
the worth of his tolling shows;
With tireless hands he feeds the coal
In the thundering monster's maw,
Tnd hour by hour he trusts his soul
to the God whom he never saw.

All the bells of heaven may rlnp;
All the birds of heaven may sing,
All the wells on 'earth may spring,
All the winds on earth may bring
All sweet sounds together.
Sweeter far than all things heard.
Hand of harper, tone of bird.
Sounds of wood at sundown stirred,
Welling waters, winsome word,
Wind In warm, wan weather.
One thing yet there Is, that none
Hearing ere Its chime be done, 1
Knows not well the sweetest one
Heard of man beneath the sun,
Hoped In heaven, hereafter.
Soft and strong and loud and light,
Veiy sound of very light,
Heard from morning's rosiest height,
When tne soul of all delight
Fills a chibl's clear laughter.

The Swine or tho Flowir?
Ah met I saw a huge and loathsome sty,
Wherein a drove of wallowing swine
were barred,
Whose banquet shocked the nostril and
the eye;
Then spoke a voice, "Behold the source
of iard!"
I fled, and saw a field that seemed at first
One glistening mass of roses pure and
white,
With dewy buds 'mid dark green foliage
nursed;
And, as I lingered o'er the lovely sight,
The summer breeze, that cooled that
Southern scene,
Whispered, " behold the source of
