They make weet mKsic for those who waged the long, har 1 struggle to secure a trnr tion system for this city. In the fact that the traction movement has sue I, eeeded there is reward for the brigade of workers who have devoted their time so loyally and earnestly to the j cause. It was a hard fight, but we i won out. j In the view of the East Oregonlan ' the success of the traction movement Js of vast significance with respects to the future of this little city. ' Why j a traction system is needed this pa-! per has pointed out many times. It would be tiresome to repeat those reasons here. It is sufficient to say that the establishment of a traction Bystem with this city as the center of operations will place Pendleton In position to advance and to hold its rank as the commercial center of the great empire in which it is located. That such a tractron system will now be provided seems sure. Of course the company wants further local sup port But It has a plan for securing It That the company will proceed quickly towards the construction of In- terurban lines as well as wlh the work within this city ' is promised. There can be no reasonable fear that the interurban roads will not be built. The company could not think of de veloping an expensive power plant merely to provide power for street cars to be operated In Pendleton and suburbs. The interurban lines will be the money makers. Then the success of the traction movement Is also significant In an other way. It marks the beginning of a new era In this city. A renaiss ance. During the past few years Pen dleton has been quiet In some respects. A epirlt of pessimism has prevailed. This has been erpeclally noticeable among the heavy property owners. These men have acted In a peculiar mar ncr. They have acted like a child who, having a headache, refuses all comfort, and asks only to be allowed to die. But the great majority or the peo ple of this city are not of the pessi mistic type. They have not lost heart On the contrary they have faith in Pendleton and faith In their ability to make the town better. The East Oregonlan haa been with these people heart and soul. It has con tinually encouraged them and led them forward. It counselled them to put an end to croaking and to rely npon self help. In line with this pol icy this paper has advised local peo ple to give the Washington-Oregon company the support that was re quested. This paper has backed the traction movement from start to fin ish. The East Oregonlan urged the reelection of Mayor Murphy because It knew him to be favorable to the traction system and to other new en terprise for Pendleton and because the importance of a friendly admln IMrntion was recognized. Now that the Ions campaign Is over, or at least the crisis js passed, this paper la highly pleased. The East Oregonlan predicts that bright things are In store for Pendleton ami congratulates the progressive people of this city up- ' the goo. I work they have done. HOW IT WAS DONE. Few people realize the hard, per sistent work that was required to make the traction movement succeed. It was not an easy task at all. It was a long, hard fight and until yester day no one knew what the outcome would be. Members of the original committee especially had a "work out." That committee was named last fall and It has worked upon this proposition for months. It worked under the most adverse circumstances. Many times defeat seemed almost Inevitable, yet tie members stayed with the job. Having placed their hands upon the plow they did not look back. But of course Dr. Smith and his fel- ; w committeemen could not have won the fight alone. Even though the committee contained such "war hors es" as Judge Fee, R. Alexander, Leon 1 ... ....I- Cohen, Mayor Murphy and Will Moore ! the fight would have been lost had . . not others come to the support of the movement. It was the strength ' brought by W. U Thompson and the others of the enlarged committee that put new hope in the breasts of the traction workers and caused them to redouble their efforts. Finally it was the loyal and en thusiastic support erven the move ment by the merchants and small property owners that made the move- I mcnt successful. Without a red cent , r 1111 any of the really big property ' owners. $25.00o was raised and the ! bargain clinched. The fact that such ' was done is a high tribute to the en- ; li rpriso and public spiriteduess of the ' business men of this city. Towns that ; have people like this never stand still. Pendleton is not going to stand still. Favored by nature and backed by the j indomitable spirit of its people this j city is going forward it is going to i pec. 'in. a real city. IT IS .001 NEWS, It is gnO'l news thnt the ". u j company U preparing to begin work n the line changes It is to make be- i tween Yoakum and this city. While the work is underway there will be fperensed local business activity and the completion of the changes will materially better the service rendered by the O. R. & X. It is also pleasant n. note that the company is following a general policy of betterment and advancement. Many improvements are being made elsewhere within this state. This fact is encouraging for it shows the railroad officials' have faith in this state and are possessed of a desire to do their part towards bring ing about Its development. According to the dispatches Em peror William is wondering just how he will entertain Roosevelt. If re ports of Theodore's prowess are true William should make preparation by se veral days of drouth and fasting. The merchants who subscribed to the traction fund have shown their faith in Pendleton and likewise their willingness to aid in the upbuilding of the city. Remember them. The bicycle aeroplane is the lutest invention and It opens up possibilities. Should the work be carried on and a motor-cycle aeroplane devised where won't we be able to go. The line from this city to the west end section is the one we want most. Pendleton needs the fruit and the vegetables that will be raised upon the project The banejuet Idea is certainly a good one. After all the work that has been done here of late, a celebration is in order. "I came; I saw; I conquered" said Caesar. The traction committee feels about as he did. Now it is time for the scoffer to crawl Into a hole and pull the same In after him. Now make ready for the Greater Pendleton. PRESIDENT, NOT PROXY.
