IX T1IK GAUD EX OF LIFE.
Ah, when I first began to plant
Life's garden close, I did not
know
(For I was young and ignorant)
What choice of seeds I ought
to sow.
And many things I planted there
Alas! turned out but barren
seeds,
And others die for want of
care.
And many more proved noxi
ous weeds.
.
But In the midmost place of all
A little slip grew, unaware.
And it had burgeoned fair and
tall
Before I knew that it was
there.
Around its head the sunlight
drew,
The sweet earth drew around
its root.
And fairer still in form it grew
To bud, to blossom, and to
fruit.
And now, so radiant it grows,
The garden is a magic bow
er Spaces of perfume and of roses,
Soft-veiled with beauty and
with flower.
Charles Buxton Going in Suc
cess. inXDERIXG DEVELOPMENT.
Those who are opposed to the con
servation policy are cpntinuallycharg
lng that conservation would block de
velopment work. Such organs as the
Portland Oregonlan contend that only
through the giving of free rein to
corporations may the resources of the
country be brought Into use.
Very well, let us take a look at the
Umatilla river. This stream, from
Pendleton to its source, is controlled
by the Byers' milling company. At
least such control Is asserted. Title to
this stream was secured free of cost
through an act of congress. By the
terms of that act, so it Is said, the
milling company has absolute sway
over the river. No one, not even the
city, may take water from the river
for household purposes without first
settling with the company. Water
may not be taken from the river to
Irrigate land lying along side the
stream between Pendleton and the
foothills. No other concern may step
In and utilize the river for power
purposes, despite the fact that the
Byers company develops but com
paratively little power from the river.
The river belongs to the company.
It can use It or not, Just as It sees
fit
Now this Is not an attack on the
Byers company. Understand that.
For the late G. W. Byers the East
Oregonlan always had much respect.
He was a far seeing .and capable
milling man. He merely acted as
other prudent business men would
have acted had they been In his po
sition. He found it possible to "ac
quire" the .Umatilla river and he did
It
But what of the system that al
lows such proceedings as this? Is
It right that one man or one company
should obtain control of a river that
is really the birthright of all the
Feople of this section? Is it good
business policy for the government to
permit such practices as this? Cer
tainly not.
Now the conservation policy looks
to avoiding Just such abuses as this.
Under coservatlon no corporation
could obtain perpetual control of
ny stream. It could merely use It
for a term of years and would have
to pay a reasonable fee. It could
not hold a power site without using
It Had the conservation policy been
In effect during past years the Uma
tilla would not be "corralled" as It
Is at present Its power possibilities
would have been developed. Pendle
ton would probably have a half dozen
flouring mills where It now has but
two.
Tet the howl is continually made
policy
GIVE HEED TO THE CALL.
Tendleton has a good reputation
as a convention city. Many gather
ings of statewide Importance and
some of greater moment still have
been held here In the past. Usually
Pendleton takes slops to properly en
tertain those who come to the city.
A year ago the Knights of Pythias
and the Pythian sisters were here.
They were entertained with fitting
courtesy and every representative
went home praising the hospitality
of rendleton. When the state wool
growers' association met . here last
fall an effort was made to make the
visiting sheepmen foel at home. The
effort was not In vain.
On the twenty-second aay of this
j month Pendleton will have the hon
or of entertaining what will likely
prove the largest convention ever as
sembled within the city. For the In
land Empire teachers' convention
somewhere between 600 and 100 peo
ple will be present. Most of those in at
tendance will be ladies.- This fur
tiishes an additional reason why lo
cal people should look to their wel
fare and to their entertainment.
At this time a well organized com
mittee is at work preparing to ac
commodate the teachers convention
and to provide suitable entertain
ment features for the gathering. As
a first step it is desired to list enough
rooms so that those who come may
be provided with rooming accommo
dations Immediately upon their arri
val and without trouble to them
selves. In order to do this it will
be necessary for local householders
to open their doors to the teachers.
The regular hotels and rooming
houses will not be ' adequate for the
occasion. So the call has gone forth
for assistance and it merits a gen
erous response. Upon the hospitality
local people are willing to show In
this respect will depend much of the
coming convention's success.
THEY HAVE DOXE WELL.
Officials of the O. R. &
pany have good reason
X. corn
to feel
proud of the record made by the
Oregon line during the past few
weeks. Though the snowfall of the
winter was almost unprecedented and
the slides and washouts following the
break-up have demoralized nearly all
the railroads of the west the O. R. &
X. has continued to take , its trains
through almost on schedule time. The
Washington division has been out of
order It Is true. But on the mam
line of the O. R. & N. company the
service rendered has been most
credible. Not only has the O. R. & N.
been tibe to handle Its own business
but It has been able to take care of
the Southern Pacific trains as well.
The situation Is a powerful tribute to
the efficiency of the organization of
which General Manager J. P. O'Brien
Is the head.
SHOULD BE ARBITRATED.
The causes back of the great strike
that Is on In Philadelphia are not of
a local nature. The contest under
way In the Quaker City is but part
of a gigantic struggle that Is on be
tween organized capital and organ
ized labor. The Issue Is really the
same whether In Philadelphia or In
San Francisco. The workmen are
banded together in a desperate effort
to secure higher pay and to better
their conditions. On the other hand
the employers are organized to fight
the demands made by theif employes.
The public Is really the chief sufferer
because It is caught between the two
contending forces. It Is because the
public Is heavily interested In strikes,
though in an Indirect way, that laws
should be enacted looking to the pre
vention of strikes. . Differences be
tween capital and labor should be
settled by arbitration. Then the pub
lic does not suffer and Incidentally
much bitterness of spirit Is avoided.
Strikes such as that now on In Phil
adelphia engender hatreds that are
bad for the country.
President Taft has succeeded In
having the postal savings bank bill
passed. It was an administration
victory and was a fulfillment of one
of the pledges contained In the re
publican platform. Here's hoping. the
victory did not cost the president too
much In respect to other legislation.
The colonist are reaching Oregon
at a very favorable time. This beau
tiful spring weather must seem nice
to those from the storm swept plains
of the east and the middle west Of
course we never have storms In this
country.
If you cannot, say anything good
about this town, this county, this
state and this nation, then keep still.
Let some one talk who can.
It seems mat the growing wheat
has survived the winter. With the
that the Roosevelt-Plnehot
would hinder 'development
amount of moisture In the ground we
are entitled to a bumper crop. Be
sides It has been three years Blnce we
had such a crop.
Xow that the summer Is here why
not begin preparations for a real
lively fourth of July celebration?
The Washington-Oregon company
cannot say the weather is now unfa
vorable to construction work.
THE ONLY WAY.
The shades of night are falling fast
(As has been mentioned In the past)
When through an Alpine' village blew
A Climber with a retinue.
He did not bear through snow and Ice
A banner with a strange device
Xor did he roar "Excelsior!"
(As has been mentioned heretofore),
But tended strictly to his Job,
Which was to gain the mountain's
nob.
Behind him on the weary Jog
There toiled a faithful blond stenog;
Likewise there puffed a not ry pub.
Provided by the Alpine club.
Who saw the Climber did not cheat.
And swore him every thousand feet.
Roped by a yodellng Alpine guide.
The trio scaled the mountain side.
At dawn the Climber topped the crag
And waved the Climbers' union flag;
Dictated to the blond stenog
The final entries in his log:'
Made affidavit, "S'help me Bob!"
That he had gained the mountain's
nob;
And Bill, the guide, to make things
sure,
Was witness to his signature.
"That ought to hold the 'show me
bunch,"
The Climber murmured, "Now for
lunch."

A THANKFUL SOUL.
I care not how the -sild wind blows
On the land or foaming sea;
I know somewhere, there's a bright
sweet rose
That blooms in the dark for me.
And the dark may creep,
And the storm may sweep,
But I thank the Lord as I sow and
reap.
I care not how the world rolls on,
For the birds sing in the tree,
And I know, somewhere, there's a
rosy dawn
In a round, blue sky for me.
So, the dark -may creep i
And the storm may sweep.
But I thank the Lord as I sow and
reap.
For only a little, day by day,
The light of star or sun,
The smile Love gives me m cheer my
way
The kiss when the day Is done.
So, the dark may creep,
And the black storm sweep,
But I thank the Lord as x" sow and
reap.

MITH CUT GLASS.
"As nasty a dig as I ever adminis
tered In my' newspaper career in Vir
ginia City," said Mark Twain "was di
rected against a man named Fergu
son. '
"Ferguson, at Christmas time, In
vited me to see the presents he had
given his wife They were magnifi
cent gifts.
"There was a cut glass punch bowl,
a cut glass decanter, a dozen cut glass
goblets, a pair of cut glass candle;
sticks and a cut glass vase.
" 'You see,' said Ferguson,
'my
wife is extremely fond of cut glass.
" 'I see,' said I.
" 'But here's something else,' said
Ferguson, and he proudly showed me
a diamond brooch.
"Of course, Ferguson expected a
writeup. Well, he wasn't disappoint
ed. The' next day. In a prominent
place on the first page of the 'Enter
prise,' I inserted this paragraph;
"John H. Ferguson's ChHstma.1
gifts to his wife are being much ad
mired. They include a diamond
brooch and many other beautiful
specimens of cut glass.' "

Catarrh comes as a result of impurities, and morbid matter In, the
circulation, and is a disease that only attacks mucous membrane. The
entire inner portion of the body is lined with a delicate skin or covering
of soft, sensitive ilesh. Thousands of tiny blood vissels are interlaced
throughout this mucous surface, and it is through these that the iuner
membrane receives its nourishment and is kept in healthful condition.
When, however, the blood becomes infected with catarrhal impurities the
tissues become diseased and Catarrh pots a foothold in the system. The
early stages of Catarrh are characterized by such symptoms as a tight,
stuffy feeliuR in the head, watery eyes, buzzing itois in the enrfi, wilh par
tial deafness r.ud often difficult breathing and i-h: or.lc hoarseness. These
are merely symptoms, and while sprays, inhalations and other local treat
ment may temporarily relieve them. Catarrh cannot be cured until the
blood is piirif'od of the exciting cause. S. S.S. cures Catarrh by cleansing
the blood ot all impure catarrhal matter. It goes down into the circula
tion and attacks the duase ot its head, and removes every particle of the
catarrhal i.;.puiiiy. T..ou the mucous linings ure all supplied with fresh,
pure blood, ur.d ullcwod to. heal, instead of beir.g kept ia a constant state
