IX THE EXP.
Just this and never doubt
It
When Trouble comes, my
friend,
And wild winds howl around
you, .
"We'll get there In the end."
It's still a hope to lean on
When sudden storms descend;
In site of wave and weather,
"We'll get there in the end."
And then a glad thanksgiving
To holy heaven we'll send
Still thankful that we're living,
"We'll get there in the end!"
Frank L. Stanton.
'
ISX'T THIS TRUE?
It is understood that the People's
Power League has an amendment to
the constitution providing for the
settlement of county division ques
tions by the parties and districts in
terested. As to the exact terms of
this proposed amendment the East
Oregonian Is not informed. P.ut if It
Is a reasonable proposition- It is safe
to predict that it will be adopted by
the people. This because it is only
common sense to leave county divis
ion problems to the people who are
directly concerned. It Is a farce to
have the entire state pass upon such
issues.
Meanwhile all ccrtinty division ques
tions should "be held in abeyance un
til this amendment has been passed.
Any division bill brought up for con
sideration this fall should be voted
down. It Is the belief of the East
Oregonian that defeat is in store for
all of the measures now up. Voters
will resent being called upon to de
cide local Issues about which they
know nothing and so cannot Judge
Intelligently. They will be entitled to
View all county division questions
with suspicion. Should the "Orch
ard" county measure be passed up to
the people this fall Mr. Average Vot
er will be Justified in aylng, "The
promoters of this new county are un
willing to wait until their case can be
settled upon Its merits by the people
who are really concerned. This Is a
confession that their cause Is weak.
So I will vote against them."
TO OREGON'S DISCREDIT.
In this manner the Oregon Jour
nal reproaches the state for not rais
ing more livestock.
"Oregon husbandry received anoth.
er black eye yesterday. The day saw
. eight carloads of live hogs arrive in
Portland from Nebraska and four cars
of beef from California. The beef is
destined for Grass Valley, almost the
original home of the beef steer in
Oregon, and the hogs were for the lo
cal packing plants. The hogs were
quoted for the day at $10.60 and beef
at $6.50, prices that leave a splendid
margin of profits for' the producer.
"There Is a rail haul of nearly 2000
miles from Nebraska to Oregon, and
a similar transportation cost for the
more than 500 miles of rail haul
from California. It Is almost a strik
ing incident, when the Nebraska and
California farmers can pay these
costly differentials and ship food ani
mals into Oregon. Nebraska has se
verer and longer winters and must
grow feed on higher priced land. The
same high prices for feeds that
shortened the hog and beef supply In
Oregon were prevalent both in Ne
braska and California last autumn
and winter. The Oregon farmer had
splendid advantages, but failed to
supply his own market, while both
Nebraska and California over-supplied
theirs, and in spite of handi
caps shipped their products over
long distances to supply Oregon. It
must mean that there Is a vast dif
ference In farm methods and farm
effectiveness in the three states, with
Oregon a poor aecond to both the
other dates."
Oregon farmers should take op the
livestock business whereever possible.
When possible to do so farmers should
fatten hogs and cattle. It Is more
profitable to sell grain and hay in the
form of fattened hogs or beef than
to sell it as grain or as hay. Then
the raising of livestock tends to bring
about the enrichment of the soil and
a higher state of agriculture. Animal
husbandry and diversified farming go
hand in hand. '
BE A BOOSTER.
"If a man is not a booster he is a
detriment to his home town," says the
Coos Bay Times. "There are some
men who take It upon themselves to
meet strangers and tell all of the pet
ty inside scraps in the town and give
the stranger the general Impression
that his particular city is no good
in any way. ' If these 'knockers' are
at all numerous it does not take long
for a city to gain a poor reputation
ali over the country, consequently the
business of all. Including the 'knock
er' himself, Is hurt."
This applies as well in eastern Ore
gon as on Coos Bay. Pendleton has
some "knockers" right within the
walls of the city. So have the other
towns of this county and of eastern
Oregon. Some of these men are good
and loyal at heart. They knock
without really knowing it Possessed
of a temporary pessimism they talk!
disparagingly of their town and of
this country. They don't mean to do
any harm. But they do do damage Just
the same. They discourage other peo
ple and tend to drive them away.
Be a booster, don't be a knocker.
If there are things that are wrong
with your town or with this country
remember that the defects are insig
nificant compared with the good
points. If you are talking with any
one make this fact clear. Don't run
chances of being classed as "knock
ing the country." Eastern Oregon Is
one of the favored spots of the earth.
Pendleton Is the best little city of its
size in the west. '
FOR THE NORMAL'S SAKE.
The Eastern Oregon normal school
i'i not a Umatilla county institution.
Yet this county la the home of the
normal school and so the school la
entitled to the cordial support of the
'people of this county. The safety of
the school demands that Umatilla
county give it strong, enthusiastic
backing. It is needless to say that
such support will not be given the
school if the newspapers and the
public men of this county are thrown
into a bitter county division fight
Ii the Mlltonites force their issue up
on the people this fall they will pre
cipitate a veritable civil war in Uma
tilla county. The division fight will
demand the chief attention of -every
one. It will be a fight to the finish
and In the turmoil the Eastern Ore
gon normal will suffer. Please hold
the division fight off until we can
settle It without Jeopardizing such a
valuable institution as the Eastern
Oregon normal school.
The railroad bill has passed the
house, somewhat mutilated, yet sound
In all essential particulars according
to President Taft. But how will the
bill be when It has run the gauntlet
in the senate?
From a bitter county division war
Umatilla county stands to lose much
and to gain nothing. Instead of throw
ing rocks at each other why not unite
in working for the closer settlement
and development of this county.
Umatilla is the finest county in the
state and Pendleton is right in the
center of the county where it is con
venient of access from all points.
Possibly we can Induce T. R. to
come here and deliver his peace lec
ture. SOXG AXD ROSES.
Song and roses for a day that's the
way it goes;
But give us song a whole day long,
and bless us with a rose!
The thorns are thick
Upon the way;
Give us the roses
For a day!
Song and roses so it goes, and earth
rolls never wrong
If we but reap, with friends or foes,
the living rose of song!
The red thorns gleam
Along the way;
Give us the roses
For a day!
Frank L. Stanton.
THE ROSY GOODS.
This plcnicky, pleasant weather
It's the goods!
Take, ye growlers, all together.
To the woods!
Learn the lesson of a lily,
Doesn't spin,
Yet It knocks yer growlln' silly;
Take 'em In!
Spend a day among the flowers
Light unTolled, '
And you'll find the happy hours
! Rimmed with gold!

THE HELPER.
Somewhere she waits to make you
win,
Your soul In her firm white hands
Somewhere the gods have made for
you i
The woman who understands.
This is the story of ages
This is the woman's way
Wiser than seers or sages,
Lifting us day by day
Facing all things with a courage
Xothing can daunt or dim;
Treading life's path wherever It leads
Lined with flowers, or choked with
weeds,
But ever with him with him;
Guardian, comrade, and golden spur,
The men who win are helped by her. I
Somewhere she waits, strong In be-'

Your soul in her firm, white hands;
Thank well the gods when she comes j

THE NEW HA VEX.
Alluring shadows In deep hollows,
With the sunshine dver the hills,
A song- bird calls and a love bird fol
lows To the tree3 alive with trills.
The peace of God is softly wafted
From crest to crest of the heights.
And "God Is love," Is a motto grafted
By the staus on the still cool night.
A-down the valleys the trees are vivid
With all shades that green can take
And human life, which is sometimes
livid.
Grows sweeter for life's sweet sake.
The sea takes a deeper, darker blue
Its - swells are as soft as the air
The music, far off, is a rhythm too,
Making human life a prayer. v

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.
Except for his faults man is a very
dull creature.
Social friendships among women are
mere rivalries.
It's so natural for a girl to pretend
that she seems very strong when she
hasn't a chance to.
The best thing to keep an argu
ment going indefinitely is ignorance
of the subject on both sides.
Fortunes made .by saving are not
apt to be overestimated.'
Women are more pennywlse and
pound wise, too than most men.
It's a mighty poor cigar a man
won't try as a gift.
A reputation for being clever can
make a person act more like a fool
than anything else In the world.
Too " many matchmakers spoil the
romance.
A man-can admire himself for the
way his wife forgives his failings.
Promising is not giving, but seems
to content fools.
It sometimes seems that two heads
can be much emptier than one.
It may be hard to live within one's
salary, but generally much harder to
live without It.
How can we expect another to
keep our secret, if we cannot keep It
ourselves? La Rochefoucauld.

THE TEXAS SHOOTER
' A few days ago a quiet, gentle-appearing
blond young man came to our
ranch in search of a stray horse. His
voice was quiet and low, like a wom
an's; and when I told him the horse
was on the ranch, a pleasant smile,
almost like a woman's, also came
over his face. Strapped to his hip
was a gun a .45 and with this, no
doubt, he could cut the buttons from
my coat without touching the flesh
if I had stood in the right position for
him to do so, for he wus a Texas ran
ger, one of a body of men who live
with their lives In their hands. They
shoot straight, as a matter of course,
but it is not a question of shooting
straight, but of shooting quick and
of being able to shoot from the hip,
or. in fact, from anywhere. They do
not take aim In the accepted way of
the eastern man, but only as the boy
aims when ha throws a stone, or the
pitcher wheiy he pitches the ball.
They aee the thing to shoot at and
the eye directs the movement of the
hand in any position, and they will
empty a gun while a man who alms
over the sights is getting ready to
shoot. New York Times.
THE DEATHLESS LIFE.
I feel in myself the future life. I
am like a forest once cut down, the
new shoots are stronger and livelier
than ever. I am rising. I know, to
ward the sky. The sunshine Is on
my head. The earth gives me Its
generous sap, but heaven lights me
with the reflection of unknown
worlds. You say that the soul Is noth

but eternal spring is In my heart. I
