TO A LAKE AT TIMBER LINE
No sails are mirrored In thy
depths.
Save Idling; clouds of white.
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.

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.

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. Atlanta Constitution.
