But on thy bosom, jeweled-like Stars gleam at night. About thy crystal edge there stand " Huge, frowning, granite heaps, Z And, shaking diamonds In the sun, The great troup leaps. The mountain sheep, upon thy shore, Stands with his proud head bent, And looks upon his mirrored self " In wonderment. So, far above the world of men, 'Mong, peaks that tower, sheer, Thou'rt cradled in the silences, And jreace is here. Arthur Chapman in Denver Republican, w READ IT AXD CONSIDER. Elsewhere today the East Oregon tan publishes In full the contract Vmd that has been signed by the di rectors of the Washington-Oregon traction company. This document furnishes the basis for the movement to raise $50,000 of Pendleton money to assist in financing the company's enterprise. Every local 'citizen should read this contract carefully and give it the serious consideration it deserves. The future of Pendleton is liable to depend very much upon the action local people take with ref erence to this proposition. To the East Oregonlan the contract-bond seems entirely fair and reasonable. The company asks for bo money until after It has completed Its work. The first payment of $20, 000 is not to be paid until after three miles of road have been built. If the company's estimates are correct It will cost two or three times this am ount to build three miles of road. The second payment of $20,000 Is not due until after six miles of line have been built and gasoline-electric cars placed In operation. The last payment of $10,000 Is not payable until the com pany electrifies Its line with electricity ' from its proposed plant on the Walla Walla river. This may take two years. Meanwhile the company is to establish and improve a public park. pending a total of $200,000 in this ricinity. The company is to build at least 60 miles of lnterurban road and to do so within a reasonable time. As a pledge that the company will fulfill the terms of Its agreement the directors give their personal bond. They agree to do the work specified within the specified time or else to refund to local people the money they Invest or the equivalent of that money in property. It Is the opinion of two able lawyers, Judge Fee and Col Raley, that In the event the company should fail In Its contract the direc tors will have to pay the Pendleton subscribers In cash. They could not rive them their Pendleton trackage instead because such trackage by It self would have no earning power. If this is the case Jt will be impos sible for local men to lose In this renture and as a result we have every thing to gain by taking up the pro position. Incidentally It may be re marked here, as the East Oregonlan has remarked before, the advantages reuniting from electric roads are worth while. It Is the history of such roads everywhere that they work tinnlness unlift. Increase realty val ties in a very substantial way and In duce progress In every direction. BRASS TACKS. sf Thus far the local committeemen who are handling the traction move ment have devoted their time to the bankers and a few of the heavisst realty owners of the city. It is the Aeaira. and a natural one. to have these, men head the list. Their money and their Influence is neces sary In order to make the move suc ceed. But while progress is being made In this quarter the committee has met with some unexpected and Borne un reasonable discouragements. Some men who should be enthusiastic and eager in behalf of the improvement seem possessed by a spirit of pessim ism and ultra conservatism. This coupled with much subtle obstruc tive work on the part of the present electric company makes the task of the committee hard. But that the financial men and big property owners will really take an antagonistic or a pessimistic atti tude seems absolutely incredible. Surely these men will be hurting themselves more than anyone else If they do not support the traction movement. Furthermore they will be untrue to their duty as the business leaders of this city. At this time more than at any other time In the history of the city, Pendleton needs to follow a broad and aggressive course. The town Is now almost at a standstill with reference to growth and people are becoming sick and tired of the situation. Pessimism and ultra conservatism can never take Pendleton forward. What the city needs is a spirit of "do and dare." There Is no danger of Pendleton's go ing Into "wlldcatism." There is more danger that conservatism will become so rampant that it will go- to seed. Pendleton will become fossilized if it does not look out. Within the next few days the peo ple of this city from bankers down to popcorn venders should get be hind the traction movement and give it such a start that it will succeed. IT IS GOOD TRAINING. Pendleton has a national guard company and a very good one. It is made up of some 50 or 60 healthy minded, healthy bodied young men who have a taste for military training and who believe It right for men to f t themselves for service in the event they may be needed. But company L would be a stronger company, and so would every national guard company in this state, if young men but had a proper conception of their duties along this line. This country needs no monster standing army such as those maintained by the European powers. But we do need a large and well trained nation al guard and incidentally a reserve army composed of young men who hdve received military training in the guard or in schools. The country needs this because such training would he of Inestimable value In the event of war, for reasons too numerous to mention here, and also because a cer tain .amount of military training Is good for young men. National guard training rr.ny be he.d without expense and it is excel lent for both officers and enlisted men. The training tends to promote promptness, precision, self control and on the part of officers the ability 0 handle men. Guard service like wise inculcates patriotism, and tends o promote a spirit of manliness and chivalry. It would be a splendid thing f all the young men of the country ould or would serve at least one en- if-tment in the national guard. WE NEED IT ALL. In opposing the proposition of the Washington-Oregon company some local people assert it would be better for this city to help out the John Day electric road Instead. Now the East Oregonlan is friendly to the John Day line and hopes to see it built. But this paper can see reasons why it might be good policy for Pendleton to first secure the Washington-Oregon company's enterprise. Pendleton has three rivers from which electrical power may be de rived, the Umatilla, the John Day and the Walla Walla. Now of these streams we are more liable to lose the Walla Walla than either of the other two. If Pendleton does not get the power from the Walla Walla that power will be taken into eastern Washington. This being the case would It not be good strategy for Pendleton to take the power from the Walla Walla while the opportunity Is open? Besides the carrying out of the Washington-Oregon company's enter prise Bhould help out the enterprise fathered by Douglas Belts and asso ciates. The building of the Wash ington-Oregon line will unquestion ably strengthen realty values and aid business, thus making It easier for Mr. Belts and his friends to finance their proposition. This country will need many electric lines and all the power that can be secured from the three streams named above. Wood alcohol seems to have become a common beverage In this city. One of these days some "bootlegger" will face a murder charge. The high cost of living Is now oA of the pressing questions of the hour, rerluips it is due to Halley's comet It is a high flyer. There were many obstacles too li the way of the woolen mill movement. But It came out alright Just the same. Every time a farmer seeds n field to wheat he '"Peculates." So does a merchant every time he buys goods. Help make the town grow; don't say it Is good enough as It Is. Pes simism is not the spirit of the west. BASIS OF TIIK XEGUO PROBLEM. Mainly, Booker Washington may be relied upon to talk "horse sense" when it comes to practical nspocts of the so-called "negro problem." Here is its keynote: I have said before that the aver age white lady in the South who Is a housekeeper will never believe thoroughly In the education of the negro until she can see some of the results of education In her own kitch en, and in her own dining room. The average white man in the South who owns a farm will, never believe thor oughly in the education of the negro until he can see some of the results of education n his own farm'. Our white friends must be patient, how ever, with us while we are reach ing this point. The kind of education that manifests itself in the kitchen and on the farm Is something In this country that is new for the white man but gradually year by year we are making progress In these directions. And a logical corroll.'iry to the same theme is his commendatory comment upon the work of P. C. Parks, direc tor of the farm school at the Clark University, when he was quoted as saying, in effect, "that he really thought the agricultural department was the main department on the grounds, and the college and semi nary were merely annexes." ' Not to be underestimated, in the same connection, were Washington's frequent declarations that the only effectual manner to reach negro man and woman lay In an appeal to genu ine religion and education. Such has always been the contention of The Constitution. It Is In the kitchen and on the farm that the southern white people look to see the final and Justifying mani festations of education for the negro. In stressing these principles Wash ington is blazing away at the basfs of the problem of his race; in the south ern states, certainly, and In a sense, in the nation. It is the kitchen and on the farm that opportunity for the mass of the negro race concentrates Its offerings, The salvation of the colored man and woman depends upon their ability to play reliable melodies upon the cook- stove and to do concert work with the plow rather than to glory in diplomas for academic attainments. Washington realizes these conditi ons. The sooner the masses of the ne gro acquire his wisdom, the brighter the collective future of his race, the more stable their relations with the white man.
