rtqu'-ted by the Washington-Oregon
com; my ft doe? not follow that this
par" r has any connection with that
company or is prompted by any par
ticular dt s re to serve that company.

The East Orignnian did not back
the traction movement in order to
please the Washington-Oregon com
pany. It fought for Tendleton find for
the people of this city. It
backed
the traction moverm nt for the same j
reason that In the early days this
paper advised local people to raise
money to have the Hunt line, now the
Northern Pacific, extended to this
city. This paper backed the traction
movement for the same reason that
a year ago It worked long and faith
fully to get local people to take the
J30.000 bond Issue that had to be
floated In order to get the woolen
mill reestablished.
Now there are "wiseacres" who pre -
tend to think that this policy is wrong.
These people claim the Hunt road
would have been built to Pendleton
anyway. It might have been. But
more than likely the road would not
have been extended to Pendleton, It
could have bad Athena, Adams or
some other point for a terminal in
stead. The road was built by local
capital. Had Pendleton not done its
share towards meeting the expense
wt would not have our valuable con
nection with the Northern Pacific.
Had local people refused to back the
new woolen mill- company It is safe
to say we would now have no woolen
mill.
There are towns In the northwest
that have tried the "standpat" policy
with reference to -new railroads and
other new Industries. The town of
Yakima today is a graveyard because
some 29 years ago It refused to meet
the wishes of the Northern Pacific
company. All that Yakima has now
Is a hitching rack and a blacksmith
shop. North Yakima on the other
hand has become the metropolis of
central Washington. The town of
Weston failed to make, proper terms
with its railroad when It was built
and Weston has regretted the fact
ever since. Years ago Pendleton lost
the O. R. ft N. shops to La Grande
merely because local people did not
see that the company was given satis
factory treatment when It tried to buy
a site here. The Dalles made the same
mistake and Its shops were moved to
Alblna.
As to the ethics of this thing that
may be a mooted question. It may
not be right for a railroad company to
ask a town for concessions or for a
manufacturing company to ask for
local support There Is much to be
aid upon both sides of that question.
But usually such matters should not
be treated as moral questions. They
are business propositions and should
be so considered. From a business
standpoint it certainly pay a muni-
cipallty to get new transportation fa
cilities and to get new Industries, even
if it costs something to get them. The
money local people gave to the old
Hunt road was wisely invested and
sjrely no one can say Pendleton made
a mistake in backing the woolen mill.
If the Washington. Oregon company
tarri- s out the work it promises to do
rin lleton will be repaid a thousand
times over for the aid given that company.
TO WESTOX AI.SH.
Pendleton is intensely interested in
having an electric line built . from this
city to the west end country. We
need rapid transit connection ' with
the irrigated empire and also with
the Columbia river. It is welcome
news that the Washington-Oregon
company intends to go that way first.
Put we also want a line from this city
to Grant county and a lino from here
to the Athena-Weston country. Athe
na and Weston are In this state and
this county. The people of that re
gion have interests in common with
Pendleton. This city wants to "be
close" to that region and nothing
could bind the two sections together
like an electric line. It would be ad
vantageous to Weston, Athena, Ad
ams and Pendleton alike to have an
intf-rurban electric line in operation.
An Interurban service would be es
pecially good for Weston because that
town now has poor railway service.
i After the normal school becomes re-
I established, as this paper believes It
will be. an interurban line will be-
!cnmo more essential even than at
I present. So here's hoping that be-
! fore too many months have passed we
will have an interurban line up that
way too.
THE VROPEIl THE ATMENT,
Mr. R. T. Crane, a multimillionaire
and president of the Crane company.
loi-s not believe in anything like
higher education. He says colleges
lire a curse and that it is "conserva
tively estimated thnt the expense of
education to this nation is at least
$ino.finn.oon a year, and thi onnr'
mmis sum is literally thrown away,
much to the injury of the country and
its people."
For Mr. Crane and such men as he

plain, i

1 tion. They should bo staked out up-
ion some otherwise uninhabited island
i
and allowed to follow the sort of life
j they love living upon pine cones and
j ra iv fish.
One of the first improvements the
people of this city should demand
now is a new theatre. Pendleton
should have a theatre that will sur
pass the playhouses of all the other
small cities of the northwest. This

will get a good fire department and
along with it a good first class alarm
system. Also this city will secure
many other Improvements that It has
long needed. (

THE JEALOUS THING.
Two society girls on a car yesterday
were talking about a young man they
became acquainted with.
"Has he been up to see you lately?"
asked one.
"No," replied the other, "Has he
been up your way?"
"Three times last week." Then
she added. "He's the most attent
ive man I ever met. Why, he'd no
more think of letting me put on my
coat without helping me than he'd
fly."
"Oh, that comes only natural to
him," said the other. "I under
stand he was once a porter in a bar
ber shop."
THE XAIA1VS POOL.
Gray are the walls of granite
That circle the quiet pool.
Anil the arches green that span It
Are with shadows hung and cool.
Here on the moss who lingers
And listens may hear the breeze
As she lightly lays her fingers
On her magic harp of trees.
Melody sweet she fashions
Of silver notes that seem
P.orn of sylvian joys and passions
And of woodland love and dream.
Hour after hour she measure
With music the whole day long,
And she yields her lyric treasures
For the dear delight of song.
Come while the dusk is creeping
And fragrant with musk the air,
We may find the Xalad sleeping.
With the stars down in her hair.
