IP TO PENI.I.KTOX.
Now that the Bishop brothers have
accepted the proposition submitted
'.' them by the local business men it
is up to the latter to meet the condi
tions under which the Bishops have
agreed to take the woolen mill.
That these conditions will be met
and the mill soon revived the East
Oregonian earnestly hopes. Such Is
the hope of every man and every
woman in Pendleton. All want the
mill retained and built up Into a
greater industry.
Seemingly it should not be hard to
meet the conditions Imposed by the
Intending purchasers. They need $30.
000 In local money, a certain rate for
eiectric power and a few other con
cessions. The needed money to float the
bonds should be easily secured. The
Pendleton banks have over J2.000.000
or deposit.
Surely the electric company will
grant a suitable rate upon power. Jt
is to the Northwestern Gas and Elec
tric company's Interest to assist in
the upbuilding of Pendleton.
The city council can also well af
ford to exempt the mill company's
property from taxation.
Everything Is now favorable for the
complete success of the move In be
half of the mill. The Bishop brothers
are thorough woolen mill men and
they have ample backing. They want
the mill and want it upon conditions
that seem reasonable.
It Is now up to the business men
:r.l local financiers to save the mill.
I'pon T. C. Taylor and the group of
men working with him In the matter
there is a heavy responsibility. The
welfare of Pendleton hangs upon the
stccss which- attends their efforts.
May thy win out or die in the at
tempt. modern instruction'.
Day by day more insistent becomes
the demand that schools give more
instruction in subjects that will be of
direct value to students In later life.
Almo?t every educator of promin
ence now holds that agriculture and
oiher practical subj'-cts be taught In
the public schools along with read
ing, writing and arithmetic. In many
states surh Instruction Is now being
given. Other states are preparing to
fi.llow suit.
In the agricultural colleges and In
various universities of the East
thorough courses In such subjects as
agriculture, horticulture, veterinary
science, mechanical engineering and
household science have been given for
many years. The great popularity of
these schools shows that the work
they offer meets a much felt need.
Years ago the idea prevailed that
an education consisted chiefly of a
knowledge of Greek and Latin. But
nowadays modern language are pre
ferred to the dead tongue and tu
dent are instructed in science and In
the application of the fclence to
practical affairs.
Not only are studenta Instructed In
chemistry but they are taught the re
lation of chemistry to plant life, to
sell anJ to fertilizers. They are
hi light entomology and this Knowl
edge Is applied In a practical way In
fighting the aphis and other fruit
tree pests. They are taught trlgon
metry.arul calculus and then to make
practical use of those subjects In
surveying and In mechanical engi
neering. It Is now generally conceded that
the study of ptactlcU subjects devel
ops the mind of the student as well
a.J does the study of the dead lan
guages. Then a practical education
has the advantage In that It fits stu
dents for immediate participation In
the work of the world.
OX Till: WANK.
From appearances President Roose
velt will go out of office with less
prestige than he had when he was re
elected four years ago. There are
many who predicted he would do so.
A few days ago the president
brought upon himself much criticism
when he vehemently denounced a
newspaper because It published a
story regarding the purchase of the
Panama canal. The denunciation was
exactly what Joseph Pulitzer desired
and he Is now following up his ad
vantage by making a trip to Panama
ir. his yacht, accompanied by ,a staff
O'" writers.
Jut recently the president antag
onized congress In the secret service
controversy, though this may be to
his credit. Then during the presiden
tial campaign President Roosevelt
acted as a bitter partisan, thereby In
curring the disrespect of many peo
ple of both big political parties.
Ail of these things occurring with
in the past few months have had an
effect. The zeal of many Roosevelt
admirers has been seriously lamp
ened an.l people everywhere are won
dering if they had not overestimated
the president's calibre.
Then this is u particularly Inoppor
tune time for the president to arouse
er.mlties. As a president's term draws
t a close Interest becomes centered
in the succeeding rather than the re
tiring executive. The Influence of the
hitter begins to wane.
Already the glamour which has
surrounded President Roosevelt Is
disappearing. The horde of syco
phants who always surround the
occupant of the white house are now-
looking forward to the coming-of the
new inmate.
But If he has made some mistakes,
President Roosevelt has also done
some great work. He has been an
unusual president. He will probably
gc down In history as the most ag
gressive and most fearless man who
ever sat in the presidential chair. If
when he leaves the white house, some
hf.ots mingle with the cheers he will
not be the first good president to
meet such a fate. Xor will the good
work he has done be overlooked be
cause he has made some blunders.
From reading some of the Port
land papers one would believe that
the metropolis of Oregon Is domin
ated by gangs of red-handed crim
inals and that life and property are
both unsafe within the city's limits.
Yet the avrage man who drops into
Portland is neither robbed nor mur
dered. The police seem to do as well
ac they ever did. What Is all the
trouble about?
In Portland they have already con
victed several men of murder in the
first degree and Finch, the slayer of
Ralph Fisher, is being given a
speedy trial. Such action on the part
of the courts will put an end to mis
cellaneous murders and It will over
come the growing popular Impression
that the present legal machinery Is
too cumbersome for proper work.
At the school directors' convention
Saturday Superintendent Ackerman
explained to the assembled directors
the proposition of having a county
school board instead of a board for
f-och district. However he refused to
commit himself as favorable or op
posed to the idea. If he favors the
plan why does he not say so? It
nems a good plan.
How many of those nchool direc
tors have ever bucked the line or ran
with the ball across a goal line? Un
less they have done this they don't
understand the meaning of football.

THE NEARBY PRESS.
AX INTOLERABLE X USANCE.
( Weston Leader. ) .
An unfortunate disturbance occur
red Sunday evening, during the pro
gress of an especially interesting serv
ice at the Baptist church. The church
holds 250 people or more, and prac
tically every seat was filled with an
attentive congregation, anxious to en
Joy the sermon and special music,
when a series of catcalls and other
annoying sounds issued from the
crowded gallery. Throughout the. en
tire service the disturbance was per
sisted In, much to toe disgust or every
one present, except the roysterers
themselves, who were evidently half
baked youths whose natural boorish
ness had been stimulated by drink un
til they had no ambition but to make
themselves offensive.
Weston must be delivered from this;
bunch of Apaches, this wretched gang
of Hooligans, whose mouths seem only;
fit for oaths, whose necks for hemp, j
and whose legs for shackles. They,
may be capable of moral regeneration
but the first step toward that end
should be an effvetlve squelching.
THE SELLING SIDE.
(The Pilot Rock Recora.)
It is u fact that is worthy of notice
that ever since so-called good farm
ing began to attract serious notice,
the efforts of the agricultural press,
speakers upon agricultural topics rep
resentatives of the department of ag
riculture, and even our agricultural
colleges seem to have concentrated up
on a single phase of agriculture,
namely, the producing side.
The selling side of agriculture has
been almost wholly neglected. Wit
ness the woolgrowers' organization of
this state, which isn't concernig It
self so much as to how its members
shall grow wool, but Is working hard
to see that its members get a fair
price for what they do grow. The
government, the agricultural colleges
and tile learned speakers on agricul
tural topics are not joining hands as
they should with the wooigrower, the
wheat raiser and others in getting the
price the market justifies for their
products.
EASTERN' OREGON l-'KUT.
(Athena Press.)
California was once known in the
eastern market as tne only a pine, sua it-
west of the Rocky mountains, but it
enjovs this distinction no longer.
Eastern Oregon and eastern Washing
ton are in the market now with apples
that get the trade and the price not
only In our eastern cities, but now the
crowned heads of Europe are reusting
on them. According to all reports,
about a million fruit trees have been
planted in eastern Oregon and eastern
Washington the hist year. New or
chards can be found in every locality.
IRRIGOX'S TROPHIES.
(Irrigon Irrigator.)
Mr. Walpole is mounting the rib
bons received by our prize winners at
the Pendleton fair, and when done
our citizens will have a permanent
record of the great success we made
there. The affair will show the rib
bons, give the names of the exhibitors
with their exhibits, and 'all will be
mounted In a handsome case, about
four feet suuare. Mr. Walpole has
made it a work of art, and It will
stand for many a year to show what
"little" Irrigon did In 1908.
A GOOD IXDESTRY.
(Echo Register.) e
The alfalfa mill Is kept running day
and night, the output being 25 tons
per dav. The nutritious value of the
meal Is much greater than was con
sidered at first. The sheep of Swag
gart & Currans are fattening rapidly
on It. Among others who use it are
Fish & Toft, who by steaming It and
mixing it with mill feed, find It an
excellent food for fattening hogs.
A JOIIX DAY PROJECT.
(Monument Enterprise.)
A few of the farmers west of town
have formed a company and Intend
to build a dam across the river about
two miles west of Monument for the
purpose of Irrigating the bottom land
on each side of the river. A survey
haa been made and they find by mak
ing a 12-foot dam that the water can
be raised to a height that will pay
them to build this said dam. We
have been Informed that Mr. Hux Is

several more entering within a few
