THE WINDS OF FATE.
-
One
hip drives east and an
other drives west,
With the self-same winds that
blow.
"Tls the set of the sails
And not the gales
Which tell us the way to go.
Like the winds of the sea are
the winds of fate.
As we voyage along through
life,
Tis the set of the soul
That decides its goal
And not t'.-.e calm or the strife.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

BACK THE ACADEMY.
Pendleton academy is an institu
tion that means much to Pen lleton.
li is a good little Institution now and
Its existence adds much to the life
of this city. The school means busi
ness for merchants and tenants for
property owners. So every man in
terest in the commercial life of
Pendleton has an Interest In the
school. He should manifest that In
terest by attending the meeting to be
held at the Commercial association
xcoms Thursday night.
Plans are on foot for the enlarge
ment of the academy. Eventually an
endowment will be secured so as to
place the Institution upon a perma
nent financial footing. But just at
this time the work to be done is al
ong the line of securing more stu
dents for the school. A campaign for
students is to be carried on through
out the counties of eastern Oregon and
in this campaign the assistance of the
people of the city is desired.
In every way the move for the
Improvement of the academy Is a
worthy one. It Is one in which the
people of Pendleton can afford to co
operate cheerfully. The academy is
a well established institution with a
very fair patronage. It is one of the
best resources Pendleton has and if
the school can be enlarged into a
Junior college its field of usefudnesa
will be Increased.
In no other way may more effec
tive work be done for Pendleton than
by assisting the upbuilding of the
academy. The value of the move
ment in behalf of the school is that
a definite object is aimed at. No am
munition is wasted in the air. Money
pent in bringing new students to the
school produces an Immediate re
turn. Every student brought to the
school from abroad means something
to the city.
Be out Thursday evening and lend
your influence to the movement for
the upbuilding of a greater Pendleton
academy.
TAXING GRAIN BAGS.
Commenting upon the refusal of the
enate to place grain bags upon the
free list the Spokesman-Bevlew said:
"The senate's refusal to permit Jute
grain bags to be placed In the free
Rt will greatly disappoint the farm
ers of the northwest, who have peti
tioned against this injustice.
"Senator Jones and Congressman
Polndexter made a strong presenta
tion of this matter, and Senators Piles
and Phambnrlaln faTOred the amend
ment placing these bags on the free
list, while Senator Heyburn opposed
it, for reasons not clearly understood.
Many of Heyburn's constituents are
farmers, and ex-Governor Moore
states they will remember his oppo
sition when the time for his re-election
comes around.
"Washington, Idaho and Oregon use
home 40,000,000 bags yearly, and pay
an avrage duty of one and a quarter
cents each. Jute bag making needs
no protection, as It can not be suc
cessfully carried on In competition
with the cheap labor of India. Th
tax is therefore a direct hardship up-
on the farmers and particularly upon
the farmer cf the Pacific northwest,
as In no other section is grain sacked.
"But the farmers are not united;
tliey do not maintain a lobby at
Washington; nnd they do not have
the influence over the senate bosses
that the Now England manufacturers
1 ,..-soss and wield. Their only rem
edy lies In the ballot box In their own
district."
But by the way, where was Senator
Bourne when the vote was taken up
on the duty on grain bags. His nam
oa not appear cither in the list or
those voting for or against the half
cent per pound duty. Is It possible
he took no Interest in this subject
which Is one of dollars and cents to
the farmers of eastern Oregon? Pos
sibly he was busy arranging for the
l ublication of his "speech" upon the
corporation tax.
NOW FOB THE BUILDING.
Tho government has accepted the
abstract of title to the federal build
ing site at the corner of Garden and
Alta street and has made the pay
ment for the property. This settles
finally and conclusively any doubt
there may have been as to the location
of the building.
Xow may the government proceed
u once with the erection of the fed
rial building. The building is needed
and needed badly. The present post-
office location is not satisfactory,
either to the postal employes or the
public. The sooner the office can
b. established in the new building the
better will it be for all concerned.
The location for the building has
been purehnsed and the money for
the construction of the building is
waiting in the treasury, M should noi
b,- allowed to He there too long. Pos
sibly a showing from local people to
the effect that the building is desired
m quickly as possible would have
some weight with the government. It
would do no harm to ask Congress
man Ellis to urge upon the depart
ment the necessity of building at once.
ENCOURAGING NEWS.
Engineers Davis and Henny con
firm the report that the government
IS Investigating the proposition of an
other reclamation project for the west
end of this county. This is very good
news and it is only to be hoped that
the engineers will find the project
feasible and that money will soon be
available for the work. Umafllla
county appreciates the work the gov
ernment has already done towards
the development of the desert lands
of the west end and the people will
be glad indeed to see another project
undertaken.
If the easterners only knew of the
cool eastern Oregon nights they
v.ould all come west.
Now If the band will Just give a
few concerts at the court house
grounds.
A FRONTIER MENU.
While examining old papers and
other documents which had occupied
a place in an old trunk for many
years, a resident of Keystone, a min
ing town in the Black hills, discov
ered an Interesting relic of pioneer
days in the Black hills, In the form
of an old bill of fare.
The bill of fare was Issued by a lit
tle frontier hotel-saloon at Rocker
ville and bears date of May, 1876,
this being the palmy period of the
gold excitement In the Black hills,
following the discovery of the pre
cious metal there. At that time
Rockerville was one of the principal
"gold camps" and was believed to be
destined to become a second Lead-
ville or Butte.
The bill of fare is particularly In
terestlng as revealing the prices
which the residents of the "gold dig
gings" had to pay for the necessaries
of life during that early and exclt
Ing period.
The bill of fare is as follows:

FAILURES IX 1IHIH.
According to statistics compiled by
Dun's Bevlew from reports of branch
offices of B. Oh Dun & Co., the com
mercial failures In the United States
during the first six months of 1!)09
numbered 6831, the liabilities
amounting to $S8, fill, 373. This com
pares with 870!) failures In the first
half of 190S, having liabilities of
$1 J4.3 74.S33. In the first six months
of 1907 the record was 5607 failures
uitb liabilities: of $69,668,66:'. Thus,
the aggregate of business defaults In
the last six months has shown a fall
ing off of nearly 30 per cent from the
corresponding period of 1908, when
there was an Increase of about 79 per
cent from the record of the first half
of 1907. Although the liabilities of
the defaulting firms, during the past
six months, were much less than In
1S0S, they were much heavier thai)
in any other of the last five years; in
the first half of 1906 the liabilities
amounted to $62,664,074; in 1905 to
$55.904.5S5, nnd in 1904 to $79,490,
909. The liabilities of the past six
months were about $10,000,000 In ex
cess of the average of. the liabilities
of the preceding five years this av
erage, however, includes the heavy
defaults of 1908. Taken as a whole.,
the record of failures Is not quite as
favorable as the bank clearings and
other statistical tests of the business
situation, but It is nevertheless mov
ing in the direction of commercial re
covery, and at this time when all the
signs are so promising for a new pe
riod of business uplift and expansion,
the large total of business embarrass
ments must be regarded as represent
ing the effects of a financial crisis
that has passed and not as indicative
of present conditions. During the
past three months the second quar
ter of the first half of the year there
were 2981 failures, with total liabili
ties of $44,080,423, and an average
liabilities per suspension of $14,787.
A detulled comparison for the first
half of the year shows that there
were 1522 manufacturing defaults in
volving $38,050,241 liabilities, as com
pared with 2142 manufacturing sus
pensions In the first half of 1908 with
$53,442,304 liabilities, and as com
pared with 1295 manufacturing fail
ures in the first half of 1907 with
liabilities of $36,64.648. In view
however, of the industrial disturban e
during a large portion of the half
year and in view also of the progress
of tnriff revision, this showing of
business embarrassments in the man
ufacturing field Is, on the whole, ex
ceedingly reassuring. The tradiiv:
failures during the first half of the
year amounted to 6122 with liablll
tie of $26,331,852, comparing with
o235 failures In the corresponding pe
riod of 1908 with liabilities of $4 9.
010,022. and comparing with 412"
failures in the first halt or ivvi
linbilities of $26,744,786. The other
commercial failures, such as insur
ance, real estate, brokerage, etc.. were
proportionately large during thepaM
six months, amounting to 187 In
number, with $14.159.2S0 liabilities,
comparing with 332 m the first half
of 1908, with liabilities or sii,,-

SLAVERY OF CLOTHES.
To the victim of what may be called
regulation clothes' summer brings an
Incident of dlscomrort mat vumm
to be Justly regarded with dread and
disfavor. The heavy, hot unlforrt.
Imposed by usage on many classes ot
public and private servitors quite dis
count the pleasure and enjoyment
which these slaves of raiment mignt
otherwise hope for in the open air
season of the year.
The abomination ot thick, close-
flttlne clothes in hot weather finds a
conspicuous Illustration in policemen,
who, for some reason, seem to unt
first rank as objects of calorific tor
ture. A policeman Is never, by any
chance, emaciated or anaemic, and
he looks warm and plethoric, even jn
cold weather. When one sees these
husky guardians of the law on a mid
summer day in Kansas City boxed up
to the neck in thick woolen uniforms
with buttons that glow In the sun's
rays there Is a feeling that if police
men are not always just what they
ought to be their explanation must
approximate, at almost any time in
July or August, the limit of their sins
of omission or commission. Kansas
