This la neace
To conquer love or seir ana

To tear deep rooted passions

To lay up lasting treasure.
Of perfect service rendered, du

In charity, soft speech and stain

These riches shall not fade away

AMi MVST CXITE.
Once more the East Oregonlan
-wants to urge united and aggressive
action on the part of local people
when the movement is started to raise
the $50,000 for the traction system.
At best It will require some little
"work to raise this amount. It Is
"therefore important that all work to
gether and that no unnecessary ob
stacles be allowed in the path of the
movement.-
The starting of a movement of this
sort is"much like the launching of a
hip. It Is doubtful if ever a vessel
was built that entirely suited all its
builders. There are always work
men who would change the craft in
time particulars could they have
their way. Yet when the day for the
launching arrives they ajl gladly join
. forces and send the great ship down
the ways with flags fluttering and
bands playing.
During the past few weeks the local
-committee and the representatives of
the Washington-Oregon company
have been conferring regarding the
-establishment of a traction system in
"Pendleton with interurban connec
tions. At last a contract has been
drafted and agreed upon. It now but
"lacks the formal signatures to make
It effective.
It Is inevitable that this contract
will be criticised. There are people
who will pick flaws in it. Some will
criticise it from the best of motives,
others because they are unreasonably
prejudiced against the enterprise or
because they are personally interested
In blocking the company's plans.
But the contract was not drafted
merely to suit the people of Pendle
ton. It must also please the direc
tors of the traction company for they
are to put up most of the money for
the improvement. The representa
tives of the company claim that the
agreement Is as liberal in Its condl
tlcns as they can make it and still
conform to -business principles. The
contract specifies that six miles of
traction line must be built within
this cltv and vicinity within a year
and a park established.. The road
must be electrified within two years
time. A minimum of $200,000 is to
be expended in Pendleton and vicln
ily. "She interurban connections are
to be made within a reasonable
time. The company gives a guaranty
"bend to fulfill its contract or to re
iund to local people their money or
-else give them Its equivalent In pro
perty. This seems entirely fair to
the local people. According to the
traction men it is a far more liberal
offer than such companies usually
give. This Is doubtless true.
The essential thing at this time Is
. for local people to get behind the
movement to raise the necessary, am-
ount. Whether the contract is en
tlrely acceptable to everybody In every
particular does not matter. The com.
mittee has secured the best terms pos
slble for Pendleton of this you may
rest assured. They did their work
to the best of their ability and the
. ship Is now ready for launching.
'"WORLD-WIDE COXSEKVATIOX.
Soon civilization will assemble at
m,. TTama a.nd take account of its
myriad resources, their status of de
pletion, their possibilities, n the
Kf manner in which to conserve
them and in discussing this gather
ing the Atlanta Constitution said: .
"One by ono the large nations have
been interested In the Roosevelt pro
paganda, until Its promoters begin to
sense the consummation of their plans
so carefully projected.
"There Is something tremendous
and, dramatic in the spectacle of the
entire world sitting down to a calm
discussion of those assets upon which
the perpetuity of all races and the
destiny of mankind everywhere de
pend.
"In a way, the fact that such a
gathering is possible Is an encourag
ing tribute to the lessening of Inter
national antagonism, and the nearer
approach of that day when the uni
versal brotherhood will begin to leave
the realm of mythology for the more
altruistic one of actuality.
"In the practical field, also, the de
velopment is of inestimable value and
significance.
"The resources upon which wealth
Is builded and peoples maintained are
not Inexhaustible. That ancient fal
lacy has been long since exploded,
not only in this country, but as well
throughout civilization.
"Mineral wealth must,' of course,
be the first factor to disappear with
out hope of rehabilitation, save In
the discovery of new deposits, and
even this source must ultimately be
exhausted.
"The forests we can preserve, In a
measure, by scientific methods, and
by the enactment and enforcement of
laws that substitute economy for
wasteful and selfish extravagance.
At the last analysis, it Is the soil
upon which men of all .colors .and
creeds and races and ages must de
pend for sustenance and the larger
terms of prosperity.
"Happily, science has kept pace
with the centuries, and provided us
with means to reclaim tired acres
and to Increase the yield of bearing
acres, while insuring the future fer
tility of both classes.
"So that even .on that distant day
when all the available acreage. shall
be levied upon to feed and clothe the
children of men, we will be enabled
to secure from them a return incom
parably greater and more certain than
under our existing short-shlghted pro
cedure. It Is interesting, if unprofitable, to
speculate upon the consequences had
this world-conservation movement
reached militant proportions earlier
ih history say, about the middle
ages.
"Mankind has been woefully lavish
with Its goods. Had greater econ
omy and more system been practiced,
there Is no telling how much poverty
ow much misery and how much
political demoralization might have
been averted.
For at the basis of all political
problems, and of all "reforms" that
stir men's minds and hearts, is the
Imple factor of sustenance."

A FOIJiETTE OX ALDIUCH.
Senator La Follette says of Aldrlcli
In Everybody's Magazine:
"Aldrtch has never been a student.
He has but a superficial understand
ing of any of the great subjects upon
which he has spoken the final word
in legislation for a quarter of a cen
tury. Under the system which con
trols comnv'ttee appointments and
committee concession in the senate,
he has long been absolute dictator.
He was not appointed or chosen up
on any basis of ability or merit
"In his reign, until recently, there
has been little or no Independence of
party. He achieved ha position by
senatorial rotation a-nd succession. He
has formed the committees advanced
or suppressed legislation at will. He
has never been obliged to give rea
sons. He issues orders. Such power
begets abject servitude, and has given
us a one-man senate.
"For the first time, at the spec'nl
session, Aldrlch found a number of
strong men within his party who
would not take orders. They de
manded a revision that would estab
lish rates upon the basis of the dif
ference in the cost of production be
tween domestic and fore gn manufac
tures. They called upon Aldrich for
the facts upon which the duties had
been "fixed In the bill as reported from
his committee.
Aldrich would not furnish the
facts. He has never framed a tariff
bill upon any economic princi ple.
Again and again he asserted that the
rate In question was based on the
difference In the cost of production.
When pressed for facta he would state
that he had taken the statement of
the manufacturer that the rate fixed
in the bill 'was necessary,' and that
he had 'no reason to doubt the word
of nn American manufacturer.' It
soon became manifest that he had no
conception of the cost of production
or the obligation of congress to es
tablish tariff rates upon that basis.
That his dictum should not be accept
ed without question filled him with
amazement, then with wrath and dis
gust. .
"His position became mora and
more embarrassing as the debate pro
gressed, and he would abRent him
self from the floor, taking refuge in
his committee room, to escape the. hu
miliation of a constant exiiibltlon of
willful Ignorance or worse. With
him would go Senators HnlcC Lodge,
and, as a rule, all ' other majority
members of the committee, except
Senator Smoot. The .Utah senator.
with stolid courage, stood his ground,
and furnished the best reasons i he
could for the bad work of the com
mittee. They were always poor reas
ons, and often fooliHh reasons, but
Smoot commanded a certain measure
of respect for his willingness to stand
under fire."

from left to right his cash balanced
exactly, but when he counted It back
again a shortage of 160 was shown.
He consumed two hours In. his vain
endeavor to find out what was the
matter, and finally was . obliged to
call on the manager for assistance.
The manager himself had no better
success. Agin and again he counted
the bills, always with the same result
one time the cash balanced and the
next the shortage was developed. Fi
nally each bill was examined separ
ately, both obverse and reverse,
whereupon the mystified men discov
ered the cause of their trouble. One
of the bills had the design of $50 on
the reverse. It further appeared
that the clerk had received the bill
as $100.
Communication with the treasury
department was had and it was found
that that department had a record of
the bill. It was discovered In 1890
that one sheet of bank notes printed
for a national bank of Kansas City
had been reversed In the press. One
plate bore the obverse of a $60 bill
at the top anj. the obverse of a $100
bill at the bottom. The other plate
bore tho reverse of the two notes. Af
ter each had been printed It was laid
aside to dry before being run through
for the obverse printing. In some
way the pressman had turned one
sheet upside down, with the result
that two misprinted bills came forth
one with a $60 obverse and $100
reverse, the other with a $100 obverse
and a $60 reverse.
The cashier of the bank was the
first to become aware of the error.
He found that something was wrong
after he had paid out the note with
the $60 face and the $100 back by
coming across the one with the $100
face and the $50 back. The note held
by the cashier was returned to the
treasury and destroyed, a perfect
note being issued In Its stead. Chi

A Novelty.
"What I want," said the theatrical
manager, "is a genuine novelty."
"Something realistic?" asked the
playwright.
"Yes; but I don't want any real
pugilists, or real naval dlsasteds, or
real live stock, or real battles In it."
The playwright looked wearily
thoughtful, and, after a pause, In
quired: "How would It do to spring
something on tho public with real ac
tors In It?"

A BANK NOTE MISTAKK.
USE PFTVD LETOX GOODS.
One of the most effective ways for
local people to build up the indus
tries of this city is by buying local
goods In preference to others when
ever such is possible.
Pendleton Is considerable of a man
facturing town Just as It is. The
city has two flouring mills, a woolen
mill, scouring mill, planing mill, Ice
ant, creamery, cigar factory, draper
factory, show case factory, saddle
and harness factories, printing estab
lishments and many lesser Industries.
Now anything that tends to aid any
of these establishments also aids
Pendleton. The greater the business
of these concerns the better It Is for
all. Local people should pull to
gether at all times in this matter.
We want to make Pendleton a manu
facturing center and if the right sort
of work Is done this can be accom
plished. The first step consists In
the use of local goods by local people.
Rarely do Imperfect or misprinted
bank notes evade the .vigilance of
Uncle Sam's inspectors In the bureau
of engraving and printing. Perhaps
the most extraordinary misprint that
ever slipped through was a $50 na
tional bank . note. This, It appears,
actually found Its way into circulation.
The manner of its discovery was
odd. A clerk In a western hotel, in
making up his accounts one day,
found a discrepancy he could not ex
plain. He placed the pile of bills at
his left hand, and as he counted each
one, turned the note over and uepos-
Ited It on a pile at his right.
He found that when he counted
A VALUABLE LINE.
The purchase by the Interstate tel
ephone company of the business of
the Eastern Oregon company, famll
iarly called the Butter creey company
seems significant. The lines of the
Eastern Oregon company exten.l
through the west end of the county
It Is a section that has been noted
In the past for its Jack rabbits ana
big sagebrush. But the west end la
now blooming with life. There are
already four good little towns In that
section and the country Is being
rapidly developed. In the course of
time there will be a heavy population
In the territory now served by the
company that has Just been purchased.
When that day comes the property
of the 'phone company will be greatly
enhanced.. The Interstate company is
to be congratulated upon securing
such a property.
