As you go along; Not alone when life is pleasant, But when things go wrong. Care delights to see you frown ing. Loves to hear you sigh; Turn a smiling face upon her, Quick the dame will fly. Smile a little, smile a little All along the road. Every life must have its burden. Every' heart its load. Why sit down in gloom and darkness With your grief to sup? As you drink fate's bitter tonic. Smile across the cup. 4 Smile upon the troubled pil grim "Whom you pass or meet. Frowns are thorns and smiles are blossoms, Oft for weary feet. Do not make the way pcem harder By a sullen face. Smile a little, smile a little. Brighten up the place. Smile upon your undone labor; Not for one who grieves glory. He who smiles achieves. Though you meet with loss and sorrow, In the passing years. Smile a little, smile a little. Even through your tears. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. 4, J 4, , . A STRAIGHT TALK. When the enlarged traction com mittee goes out to get the remainder of the money needed to obtain the traction system the members will go forth with a fixed and determined purpose. That purpose will be to raise the necessary amount and thus Insure the success of the movement. The committee will accomplish Its ob ject. Pendleton is going to win the fight for a traction system and the fight for the right to grow and pros per. Watch and see. It is merely a question now as to who will subscribe for Pendleton's share of the company's stock. Will the burden be equitably distributed among local people in accordance with their ability to aid and In accordance with individual benefits to be derived from the improvement or will the merchants and small homeowners and property owners . of moderate hold tags have to bear the entire cost? It has been pointed out many times by this paper that the big property owners of the rity will be the chief beneficiaries of the traction system. The mere construction of six miles of lint within the city and the electri fication of that line should stimulate local realty values very materially. When the Interurban lines are built, and the company promises to begin their construction quickly, local re alty should easily double in value. TT is Is not an iilo statement made to Induce people to give money to the traction movrment. The statement I i") made advisedly. If you doubt its truthfulness Investigate the results wrought by ttie electric lines now In op' ration at Walla Walla, at Eugene, at S.'ii":n and at other place? through out the northwest. Tr.e advance in values will provide what may be termed an immediate re turn upon the investment Pendleton will make in the traction system. But J it will not 'be- the principal return. The big benefit will come from the fact that Pendleton will he placed in line to go forward continuously. In-t'-rurban lines will connect the city with its tributary territory and thus provide an ever increasing stream of business Into the city. As this section of eastern Oregon becomes developed so will Pendleton advance In size and . Importance. Without a traction sys tem Pendleton will have to remain an ordinary good country town. It will differ but little from many other places. With traction facilities and wijh plenty of electrical power it may become a really important city the commercial ami manufacturing cen ter of eastern Oregon. Mr. Property Owner, think this matter out carefully and dispassion ately. See if it Is not a good business proposition for you to back the trac tion company. If you find it is then' get your name upon the subscrip tion list anil help make the movement succeed. A IIKIGUT OUTLOOK. There is good news in the report this paper published yesterday show ing that Pendleton has already re- coived more than nine inches of rain since the first of September. It is more moisture than we received all told during the season of '0S-'09 and likewise more than fell during the year previous to that. Undoubtedly we will get four or five inches more r;iin in addition to that received thus far and if so we will surely get a bumper wheat crop. Good wheat crops In this section depend more up on an abundance of moisture than up on anything else. The livestock in dustry is also vitally affected by the amount of rainfall. The more rain the more grass is a maxim that sel dom fails and the outlook at this time is for ample grass upon the spring and summer ranges. Sheepmen and cattlemen who are now feeding out thoir hay may well feel optimistic oxer the outlook for the coming sum mer and for next winter. There will be a big hay crop to replenish the stacks that are now being used. let rs sEcrnrc both. Tacoma wants more factories in that city and the newspapers are working for a "smokestack" session of the Commercial club and the Chamber of Commerce. In comment- j lug upon the situation the Tacoma Tribune says: "Tacoma leads in smokestacks. In ci ease the lead and keep it. Fac tories provide payrolls, and payrolls provide capital for nil sorts of busi- i ness enterprises. I "Gumshoe work is good in some in stances, but not now, when Seattle, Everett, Bellingham, Aberdeen, Port- 'Il - Oil, Ori','111, L1I1U otiitri Hiiro nt,, marshalled their forces to take unto themselves the arteries of a city j manufactories Tacoma mur awaken and do likewise." After Pendleton gets traction faell- I itic-s and more electrical power for l manufacturing purposes a crusade for I more smokestacks may be undertaken i 1 here. Two things this city needs to r.iake it advance, traction lines to bring in the tributary territory and factories to build up the city from within. The traction movement now on really looks to the accomplish ment of both these ends. ,KT YOlli FEET WET. When men like A. W. Xye and C. P. Strain, who have no property In Pendleton save their homes, are wil ling to subscribe their money to the faction movement Js it not time for htavier property owners to give the matter earnest consideration? The East Oregonian believes it is and this paper predicts that within the next week the Mg owners, those who own the choice business locations, the big suburban tracts and the rows of rent ec, houses, will come forward and do their part. Their own self interest demands they do so. The big owners cannot expect the traction movement to succeed without their support. Then it is only right that the heavy owners should put up the bulk of the money. They are in position to do so and besides they will gain most of the direct good resulting from the traction system. Come on, gentlemen, the water's fine. You will like it after you have once taken the plunge. When limited trains are started forth they are given the right of way and all lesser trains must take to the side track. The Greater Pendleton now has the right of way here and Its wav must be kept clear. Everything ,i, the way of persona differences ;-nd prejudices must be "sidetracked. The good or the town demands that this be done. Resides people should never br carried away by prejudice anyway. Samuel prurnhclli-r say pany has contracted for i hip corn 2 miles of pteel and Mr. Prumhiiler's reputation for truth and veracity, honor and In tegrity in the community where ho resides is good. Horner Davenport cays marriages upon two weeks acquaintance should not be encouraged. -Homer carried on a swift courtship and has lived to regret the same, Heney and Hermann have been bat tling hard in Portland. Here's to the. day when Oregon land frauds will be a closed chapter In the history of the j state A few years from now people in this city will point with pride that they gave their money and their sup port to establishing the traction system. The difference between a growing city and an ordinary town is that the termer is "cultivated" while the hitter Is allowed to grow "volunteer."

First and foremost of any single industry, the railroads consume from AO. 000,000 to 100, 000,006 tons a year, and these and steamships probably use nearly 30 per cent of the country.'s output, which .s as much or more than Is used for nil domestic and heating purpos es. This leaves approximately one half of tht. total production princi pally bituminous to be accounted for hv the industries of the country. Coal and manufacturing are terms wh'.eh are in general practice closely lelated. but they are constantly! changing their adjustments, which j affect 'ind are in turn affected by transportation. For Instance. New ; York is the greatest manuf.u turin? state, yet she possesses no coal mines. On the other !i. -til. -West Virg'nla is th" third larit'-t co.il producer, but she has comparatively no manufac tures. The time will doubtless come when Wct Virginia, with her vast coal rs 'Urces. will stop shippiic; away all of her fuel, largely to New York and New England, and become a great manufacturing state. It is only necessary to' consult the statistics of manufacturing of any region to arrive at a close approximation of its rela tive coal consumption. . Some figures prepared from the 1!i0' anthracite coal output practically ail from pf.rnvli-nnln. mines will convey an idea of where the country's hard coal r ndei s -ts final accounting. In that year Xew York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania consumed in round number 41.000,000 tons. .now England, 8.000,000 tons; states west of the Ohio river 7,000.000 tons; south em states. 2.000,000 tons, and Can ada. 2. 000. 000 tons. Only 40,000 tons wero exported. From "Our Coal Supply Today." by Guy Elliott Mitch ell, in the American -Review of Re views for February. An Frror in Team Work.
