A VERY lXJOUSH WAIL.
It is amusing and yet distressing
to listen to the howls of disappoint
ment issuing forth from Baker City
over the selection of Pendleton as a
location for the branch asylum. The
Bakerites are fearful soreheads and
they are making a wretched spectacle
of themselves by their attacks on
Acting Governor Bowerman.
The branch asylum was located up
on its merits. As between Baker and
Pendleton as prospective locations for
this institution there is simply no
comparison. Because of its geograph
ical location this place was clearly
entitled to the asylum. Pendleton is
centrally located; Baker is not. The
latter city is in one corner of the
state and is more allied with Idaho
than with eastern Oregon.
By locating the asylum here instead
of at Baker the state board saves the
taxpayers of Oregon thousands and
thousands of dollars. Had Xhe insti
tution been located at Baker all the
patients taken there from Salem and
by far the greater -portion of the
new inmates would have to be taken
through this city. Now the railroad
fare from Pendleton to Baker, ex
clusive of Pullman or diner charges,
is 13. 75. So it would cost the state
Just that much more every time an
inmate was taken to Baker. Figuring
upon this basis the cost of transport
ing the Initial 600 patients from Sa
lem to Baker would alone amount to
$2250 more than It will cost the state
to bring those people here. As It is
the intention to tran.-fer patients
from one hospital to the other, when
conditions justify, it may easily be
seen why the new institution was lo
cated here rather than at Baker.
Figuring upon a cold financial bas
13 this is clearly the logical place for
the branch asylum. Pendleton gets
the branch asylum for the same rea
son it secured the headquarters for
the eastern Oregon federal court and
tor the same reason that the state
supreme court holds Its eastern Ore
gon sessions here. This is the cen
tral, the convenient and the economi
cal place.
Hut aside from this Pendleton had
fth'.r attractions as a location for
the bran i li Insane hospital. As Gov
ernor Bowerman has pointed out this
place has a superior climate ana a
more satisfactory altitude. We also
had a frleniid site. The Oliver place
H one of the finest ranches In eastern
Oregon and it is located close In. It
i-i admirably adapted f'r the purpose
for whi' h it has been purchased. In
cidentally it was offered the state at
a lower price than were the Baker or
Union locations.
Under the circumstances Baker has
no Jut complaint to register. The
plea that it was located here for po
litical r asons is cheap and silly. The
longer and the louder they wail the
worse It will be for the Bakerites.
everybody should shout "Let'er buck."
WATCH "OTO-XEVSYSTEM.
Yesterday the East Oregonlan pub
lished a personal communication from
George R. Roberts bearing upon the
liciuor question. Sir. Roberts has Just
returned from Iowa and he gives us
the benefit of some of his experience
there.
However, there are some things Mr.
Roberts did not explain. He does not
show why Iowa, after a period of pro
hibition, returned to a licensed saloon
system under the present policy of
close regulation that obtains there.
From numerous other sources
however we have it that the people of
Iowa grew tired of prohibition for the
same reason they tired of It In Uma
tilla county. Prohibition did not pro
hibit, but instead led to illicit business
and to the promotion of a "mail or
der" liquor trade. '
At this time the East Oregonlan Is
going to ask Mr. Roberts and other
good men who feel as he does to sus
pend judgment upon this subject and
watch Pendleton's experience with li
censed saloons once more. They will
be started here January- 1 and lf thes-j
licensed saloons do not afford a far
more satisfactory solution of the
liquor problem than prohibition has
furnished, this paper will be surprised
indeed.
In 18S9 Mark Twain wrote to Elsie
Leslie Lyde, who was playing Little
Lord Fauntltroy. the following:
"Hartford, Oct. 5, S9. .
"Dear Elsie: The way of It was
this: Away last spring, u Uetie and
I pooled intellects on this proposition:
to get up a pleasant surprise of some
kind for you against your next visit
tho surprise to take the form of a
tasteful and beautiful testimonial of
some S'Tt or other, which should ex
press somewhat of the love we felt
for you. Together we hit upon just
ho risht thing a pair of slippers.
Either one of us could have thought
of a single slipper, but it took both of
us to think of two slippers. In fact
one of us did think of one slipper,
and then, quick as a flash, the other
thought of the other slipper. It
shows how wonderful the human
mind is. It is really ualeontological;
you give oifo mind a bone, and the
other one instantly divines the rest of
the mind.
"(VUftte embroidered his slipper
with astonishing facility and splen
dor, but I have been a long time pull
ing through with mine. You see, it
was my very first attempt in art, and
I couldn't rightly get the hang of It
along at first. And then I was so
busy that I couldn't get a chance to
work at it at home, and they would
n't let me embroider on the cars;
they said it made the other passen
gers afraid. The didn't like the
light that flared Into my eyes when
I had an inspiration. Anu even the
most fair-minded people "doubted men
when I explained what it was I was
making especially brakemen. Brake
men always swore at it, and carried
on, the way ignorant people do, about
art. They wouldn't take my word
that it was a slipper; they said they
believed it was a snowshoe that had
some kind of a disease.
VBut I have rulled through, and
within twenty-four hours of the time
I told you I would day before yes
terday. There ought to be a key to
the designs, but I haven't had time
to get one up.
"Take the slippers and wear them
next your heart, Elsie dear, for every
stitch In them is a testimony of the
affection which two of your loyalest
friends bear you. Every single stitch
cost us blood. I've got twice as many
pores in me now as I used to have;
and you never would believe how
many places you can stick a needle
into yourself until you go Into the
embroidery line and devote yourself
to art.
"Do not wear these slippers in
public, dear; it would only excite en
vy; and, as like as not, somebody
would try to shoot you."

Mark Twain once asked a neighbor
if he might borrow a set of his books.
The neighbor replied, ungraciously,
that he was welcome to read them
in his library, but he had a rule never
to let his books leave his house. Some
weeks later the same neighbor sent
over to ask for the loan of Mark
Twain's lawn-mower.
'.'Certainly," said Mark, "but since
I make it a rule never to let it leave
my lawn you will be obliged to use
it there."

Mark Twain had an especial reason
for going to Elmira. On the Quaker
City he had met a young man by the
name of Charles Langdon, and one
day In the bay of Smyrna had seen
a. miniature of the boy's sister, Ollva
Langdon, then a girl of about twenty
two. He fell in love with that pic
ture and still more deeply In love
with the original when he met her in
New York on his return. The Lang
don home was in Elmira, and It was
for this renson that he frequently so
journed there. When the proofs of
The Innocents Abroad were gent to

those days in literary delicacy she de

til her death.
The book was published In July,
169. and its success was Immediate
and abundant. On his wedding day,
February 2, 1870, Clemens received
a check from his publishers for more
than four thousand dollars, royalty
accumulated during the three months
preceding. Tho sales soon amounted
to more than fifty thousand copies
; and had Increased to very nearly one
hundred thousand at the end or tne
first three years. That was forty years
ago. It was a book of travel; Its
lowest price J3.50. Even with our in
creased reading population no such
sale Is found for a boon of mat de
