WHAT MIGHT BE DONE.
What might be done if men
were wise,
What fflorlous deeds, my suf
fering brother,
Would they unite
In love and right
And cease their scorn of one
another!
Oppression's heart might be Im
bued With kindling drops of loving
kindness,
And knowledge pour
From shore to shore.
Light on the eyes of mental
blindness.
All slavery, warfare, lies and
wrongs,
All vice and crime might die
together; .
And wineNand corn,
To each man born,
Be free as warmth n sum
s mcr weather.
The meanest wretch that ever
trod.
The deepest sunk in guilt and
sorrow.
Might stand erect
In self-respect.
And share the teeming world
tomorrow.
What might be done? This
-, micht be done.
And more than this, my suf
f rim; brother:
More than the ton?ue
Ever said or sung,
if men were wise and loved
each, other.

IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED.
A.
In another column on this page to- j
day appears a communication from j
Mr. Newton Whitrord. a compara
tively new arrival in the city. Mr.
Whltford offers some criticisms that
are timely and well made.
He suggests that with the advent
of the traction system Pendleton
should begin an era of civic Improve
ment looking to the beautificatlon of
the town. Electric system or no elec
tric system it is time this was being
done. It Is time for the adoption of
omethlng like a definite program for
the betterment of the streets, walks,
fences and lawns of the city.
At this time the walks In the resi
dence portions of the town are a dis
grace. There are' sections where no
walks whatever have been provided.
There are -blocks and blocks of worn
out wooden walks. These walks are
dangerous and unsightly. Of the con
crete walks in use there are many
varying widths. Some of these walks
were plainly built by amateurs.
There should be an ordinance abso
lutely prohibiting the building of
wooden walks within the city, save
perhaps In Instances- where temporary
walks are needed. Nothing adds to
the appearance of a city more than
well built concrete walks. Then when
time is considered they are cheaper
than wooden walks. There should al
so be provision governing the width
of walks and perhaps requiring the
building of concrete curbs. Such curbs
are especially needed on streets that
have been macadamized.
There Is also need of radical action
towards Improving the cross walks of
the city. Few of the present cross
walks are fit for use. This Is -partly
because they are not kept clean, but
the chief fault comes from the fact
that the walks are worn out The
cross walks should be built of materi
al, more durable than wood.
Pendleton Is also In need of further
hard surface paving and the city
needs miles and miles of macadam
ised streets.
All of this work will cost money,
ii is true. But It will be money wise
ly spent
MOVE THE LAND OFFICE.
" The Hermlston Herald makes the
following complaint regarding the at
titude of La Orande people with ref
erence to the Umatilla project:
The opening of the third unit laat
week brought to light methods em
ployed by real estate men and others
of La Granda that Is to be regretted.
As the land office Is located there, It
v -as necessary for applicants for
homesteads to go there to file. For a
week previous to the opening people
from all parts of the country were
arriving for the event. But few of
these know anything about Hermlston
or any irrigation system. Instead of
showing the strangers what they had
to offer and tell of the advantages of
the Grand Roride valley, the real es
tate men formed a knockers club and
used every effort to depreciate Her
mlston and the Umatilla project. They
gave out if a man secured a home
stead he would not get water unless
he had a "pull;" that there 'were not
more than two tracts of land worth
having; that wherever water had been
turned on the sand immediately ab
sorbed it, thus making It a useless ex
penditure of time and money. In
fact they used every argument to be
thought of which would Injure us. As
a result a large number who had In
tended to file left discouraged."
The Herald has a Just complaint
and so h".: IT r.ston and this entire
county. It is gulling to have to sub
mit to the tacllcs employed by the
curb stone realty dealers of La
Orande. Those men know nothing
about the Umatilla project. They
don't care anything about it. Bu.
when casually asked by prospective
settlers for Information they are
"right there." They knock the pro
ject and sneer at its possibilities be
cause it is not their proposition. At
the same time they are probably try
ing to sell land that does not com
pare in merit with the offerings un
der the project.
lt would be well for the growing ir-
rigation district of this county if the

never causes excessive high water In

i. necessary fur the snow waters to
be augmented by heavy rains. There
was much snow last winter but we
had no flood.

this time to know that Pendleton Is

i Not only has the levee been strength-
ened and extended, but the old Lee
street bridge, a former menace, has j
been replaced by a modern , steel
tridge since last season. Under the !
circumstances It Is difficult to see how
Pendleton can be injured by anything
short of an entirely unprecedented
flood.
Railroad Commissioner Oswald
West says he will not be a candidate
for reelection. He Intimates that the
fact that he is a democrat would
probably keep him from reelection
even should he desire to remain In
office. But Mr, West has made a
very creditable record as railroad
ccmmlssioner and he might be chosen ,
again despite his political faith. The
people of Oregon often act very inde
pendently of party lines.
From market conditions at this
time the eastern Oregon woolgrowers
will be able to secure good prices when
the sales days are held. What the
sheepmerl are Interested In now is the
answer to the algebraic proposition,
"how long will the hay hold out if
the winter continues for X number or
days?"
Glavis has finished his testimony
before the congressional investigation
committee. He was upon the stand
for many days. If other witnesses are
given as much time as he the com
mittee will still be in session next
summer.
A crocodile almost caught Kermlt
Roosevelt. Within a day or two some
of the metropolitan papers will have
the picture of that particular croco
dile. Pendleton needs many things in the
way of betterments. But of course
they cannot all he had at once.
Another cold wave, says the weather
man. Let's recall the weather man.
FROM A NEWCOMER.
Now that Pendleton is to have a
trolly line In spite of, and It Is the
best thing they ever did. It ii up to
the citizens and city government to
take concerted action to Improve the
general appearance of this town.
Pendleton could be made a leautlful
place, attractive to strangers, anTl
with the advent of the electric line,
could become a very desirable resi
dence city.
But the people will have to wake
up and get the wheat chaff out of
their hair, and the barley beards out
of their whiskers, and each do a 1IU
tlo on his own account. Let trees be
set, and then carod for, until estab
lished. This spring will he a very
propitious time for setting with all the

together the stereotyped locust, but
maples, or elm or horse chestnuts or;
some of the Improved varieties of nut
bearing chestnuts, ns well. They do!
well on a dry soil. Set trees and seeds'
and care for lawns. There are some j
very fine lawns but there should be i
more of them. The Indiscriminate 1

There is but one way to cure an old sore, or chronic nicer, and that is
to remove the cause that produces and keeps it open. No matter where
located, any sore that remains until it becomes chronic does so because of
impure blood; the circulation constantly discharges its polluted matter into
the place and it is impossible for nature to heal the sore. S. S. S, heals
sores and ulcers by purifying the blood. It removes every trace of taint
or impurity from the circulation, and thus completely does away with the
cause. No local application reaches below the infected flesh at the spot,
ftnd for this Je0SOD- can have no curative effect on a sore or ulcer; while
such treatment is being used alone, the germs and impurities are constantly
iucreasinK ii the blood and the sore is bound to grow worse. When S.S.S.
