If you want to succeed In the world you must make your own oppor-
tunlties as you go on. The man who waits for some seventh wave to
ill find that the seventh wave Is a long time
coming. You can commit no greater folly than to sit by the roadside
until some one comes along and invites you to ride with him to
wealth or Influence. Don't wait for a boost. Give yourself a new
deal and play the game! The Nautilus.
HOW THE NEW YEAR
NINETEEN ELEVEN FINDS PENDLETON IN A VERY SATISFAC
TORY FRAME OF MIND. PEOPLE IN GENERAL ARE OPTIMISTIC OVER
THE FUTURE FOR THE OUTLOOK IS GOOD FOR THE GROWTH AND
ADVANCEMENT OF THE CITY. CONDITIONS ARE RIGHT FOR A FOR
WARD MOTO.
THE LIQUOR QUESTION WHICH HAS BEEN A SOURCE OF TROUBLE
AND STRIFE IN THE PAST IS NOW SETTLED, TEMPORARILY AT
LEAST. IF THE LAWS ADOPTED FOR THE REGULATION OF THE SA
LOON BUSINESS ARE VIGOROUSLY ENFORCED THE QUESTION MAY
BE CONSIDERED PERMANENTLY SETTLED. THE PEOPLE OF THIS
COUNTY WLL NOT VOTE FOR PROHIBITION AGAIN UNLESS THEY
ARE DRIVEN TO DO SO THROUGH ABUSE OF PRIVILEGES NOW EN
JOYED. THE RESTORATION OF THE LICENSED SALOON SYSTEM UNDER
THE CLOSE RESTRICTIONS PRESCRIBED PROMISE TO BE A GOOD
THING FOR PENDLETON. THE CHANGE WILL PROBABLY MAKE
BUT LITTLE APPRECLVBLE DIFFERENCE IN LOCAL BUSINESS. BUT
THE CHANGE WILL DO AWAY WITH "BLIND PIGS" AND WITH THE
"MAIL ORDER" TRAFFIC. WE WILL HAVE A LEGITIMATE BUSINESS
INSTEAD OF A LAWLESS TRADE. THERE SHOULD BE AN END TO
MUCH PESSIMISM AND KNOCKING AND INCIDENTALLY THE CITY
WILL DERIVE A SUBSTANTIAL REVENUE FROM LICENSES.
THE LOCATION OF THE BRANCH HOSPITAL FOR THE INSANE
ADJOINING THIS CITY WILL ADD TO THE BUSINESS OF PENDLETON.
A PORTION OF THE SUPPLIES WILL HAVE TO BE PURCHASED HERE;
THE ATTENDANTS AND GUARDS AT THE ASYLUM WILL MEAN IN
CREASED BUSINESS TO THE CITY AND SO WILL THE PEOPLE WHO
WILL COME HERE TO SEE INMATES. HOWEVER.' LOCAL PEOPLE
SHOULD NOT RELY TOO MUCH UPON THIS NEW INSTITUTION. AFTER
WE GET THAT ASYLUM WE SHOULD FORGET ABOUT IT AND GO GET
OTHER THINGS. THERE ARE OTHER THINGS THAT WILL BE BET
TER STILL FOR PENDLETON.
CHIEF AMONG THE THINGS PENDLETON SHOULD GO AFTER
DURING THE COMING YEAR WILL BE A GRAVITY WATER SYSTEM.
A MOUNTAIN WATER SUPPLY IS NEEDED AND IT CAN BE HAD. LET
US GET IT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. IT WILL MEAN MUCH TO
PENDLETON. AN ABUNDANT SUPPLY OF PURE WATER IS TO A CITY
WHAT FRESH AIR IS TO A PERSON. IT MEANS LIFE AND HEALTH.
STREET AND SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS ARE BADLY NEEDED
HERE AND IT IS ENCOURAGING TO KNOW THAT THE CITY OFFICI
ALS ARE ALREADY BUSY WITH A SCHEME THAT LOOKS TO MUCH
WORK ALONG THIS LINE. A NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING IS RE
QUIRED AND IS IN THE LIST OF PROBABILITIES FOR THE COMING
YEAR. THE FEDERAL BUILDING WILL DOUBTLESS BE BUILT DUR
ING 1911.
ALREADY A PERMANENT SITE FOR THE ROUND-UP HAS BEEN
SECURED AND THE PURCHASE OF THE MATLOCK TRACT ALSO
MEANS THAT PENDLETON WILL HAVE A GOOD ATHLETIC STADIUM
CLOSE IN AND SUITABLE FOR SUCH SPORTS AS BASEBALL. FOOT
BALL AND TRACK MEETS. THERE ARE MANY WHO WOULD LIKE
TO SEE A PERMANENT STRUCTURE ERECTED ON THE SITE OF THE
DISTRICT FAIR PAVILION AND USED AS AN AUDITORIUM AS WELL
AS FOR FAIR PURPOSED. PERHAPS THIS CAN EE DONE. A NEW
THEATRE IS PROMISED BY NEXT WINTER. IF EVER A TOWN
NEEDED ONE PENDLETON DOES.
THE FOREGOING PARAGRAPHS REFER TO CONDITIONS STRICTLY
WITHIN THE CITY. ON THE OUTSIDE THe" OUTLOOK IS ALSO EN
COURAGING. THE SETTLEMENT OF THE WEST END 13 BRINGING
NEW PEOPLE TO THE COUNTY EVERY WEEK AND THE MOTOR CAR
SERVICE MAKES THAT SECTION CLOSE TO PENDLETON. THE EX
TENSION OF THE UMATILLA CENTRAL WOULD BE A GOOD BOON
TO PENDLETON. THERE IS FINE HOPE IN THE NUMEROUS IRRI
GATION PROJECTS THAT ARE BEING PLANNED FOR THIS VICINITY
AND AL-O IN THE PINE CREEK PROJECT NEAR WESTON. THERE
ARE INDICATIONS THAT BONANZA FARMING HAS REACHED THE
LIMIT IN THIS COUNTY AND THAT
BE TOWARD SMALLER HOLDINGS AND CLOSER FARMING METH
ODS. THIS WILL MEAN MORE POPULATION. BETTER YIELDS. AN
invAvrr in land values and
CERNED.
IN VIEW OF ALL THESE THINGS
PEOPLE HAVE GOOD REASONS FOR GREETING THE NEW YFAP.
-CCMT1T TrvTTTT-STA.cM. THINGS LOOK
HOW MUCH GROWTH AND ADVANCEMENT WILL OCCUR HERE DUR
ING THE COMING YEAR REMAINS TO BE SEEN. MUCH IS GOING TO
DEPEND UPON THE EFFORTS PUT FORTH. IF WF. GET THINGS WE
MUST GO AFTER THEM. NOWADAYS PEOPLE DO NOT RELY UPON
THE MOTTO, "ALL THINGS COME TO

MARK TWAIN AS A POET.
The following is said to have been
written by Mark Twain and publish-
ed in California about 1864:
He Pone His Level Best.,
Was he a mining on the flat
He done it wlth test;
Was he leading of the choir
He done his level best.
If he'd a regular task to do,
He never took no rest;
Or if 'twas otf and on the same
He done his level best.
If he was preaching on his beat,
He'd tramp from east to west,
And north to south. In cold and heat,
He done his level best.
He'd curse and sing and howl and
pray,
And dance and drink and Jest,
And lie and steal all one to him
He done his level best.
Whate'er this man iras sot to do,
He done it with a zest;
No matter what his contract was.
He'd do his level best.
Tlio Angel's Song.
The world now lists to catch the an-'
gel's song:
It worships Him and grants Him holy
birth.
Who came to bring us peace upon the
earth.
Yet ne'er at peace abides the world
for long:
For even as we worship, still we
strive .
To kepn our heads above the madden
ing throng;
We fear that we must battle hard and
long
To win our daily bread and still sur
vive.
Yet I have felt, though all about was
war,
That power which overspread and
calmed the sa;
And I have longed to feel It more
and more,
An Influence of the infinity!
I've heard the song; it soothed my
soul to soar;
I know there's peace on earth for
thee and me!
Edward Anderson Field in Pro
gress. AMERICAN VS. SWISS.
A Swiss drummer rendered con
spicuous by a pair of tight French
riding trousers which apparently
were intended to be worn standing up
furnished me with a means of com
paring European with the American
method of doing business. His line
was French agricultural machinery,
and inasmuch as he had been "mak
ng" the coast for several years, It was
fair to assume that he was a success
hi hiiQinoaa
For three weeks after his arrival
at the Lupone. he did nothing save
sit in the covered front yard of the
hotel and Idly speculate about the
progress of the war while ragged ur
chins after the manner of the coun
try, polished and repollshed his shoes.
He assiduously cultivated and bought
drinks for politicians and ustenea io

the least committing himself In the
matter of opinion. By the second
Sunday night, he had progressed far
enough in social intercourse with the
existing political regime to secure a
place at the president's table for din
ner. The week after that, he went
riding in a brougham with some of
the women of the president's immedi
ate household and dispensed Central
American small talk between mouth-
fuls of the thick red dust which ov
erlays Managua like a blanket. At
the end of a month he sailed away,
lamented social Hon, carrying with
him orders for machinery which
could more acceptably have been
filled by American manufacturers. He
had caught favor In high places and
his honors had been reflected upon
the plantations.
An American drummer had burst
Into Managua about the same time
as the Swiss, buoyant with affability
which but thinly conceaed his con
tempt for his prospective customers
He bought drinks for the natives In
the open, bragged about American
machinery night and day and produc
ed truthful figures to demonstrate its
superiority.
When with Enuropean traders he
covertly congratulated them upon be
Ing "white," and In the confines of
the International club, he drew long
breaths of relief and told of difflcul
ties In doing business with the "nig'
gers." The Europeans treated him
like a hall fellow well met, and then
straightway, with the Intent of con
serving their own Interests against
Inroads from the United States, saw
to It that the natives learned all about
the American drummer's pleasure at
meeting "white" people in Central
A merlca.
In consequence of this, the Amer
lean found that he was welcome to
buy refreshments galore for polltl
elans and to talk about his machln
ery. He was conspicuous by his
presence In public places, but nobody
saw him entered as a guest at any
family gatherings of note In official
circles. He went away, openly curs
Ing "niggers" and vowing that Latin
America wasn't a white man's coun
try, anyway. From "Why Latin-Am
erica Hates Us," In December Tech
nlchnl World Magazine.
Truth Is stranger than fiction, but
It Is because fiction ts obliged to stick
to possibilities; truth Isn't.

CONCERNING WOMEN.
Of the thirteen states having less
than 2 per cent of Illiteracy 10 years
ago 12 allowed women to vote In
school elections. Of the 12 states hav
ing more than 10 per cent of Illiter
acy among the white population 10
years ago none gave women the
school vote. The Kentucky women
who are making a campaign for
country-wide suffrage are using these
facts as an argument.
Mme. Breshkovsky, the famous Rus
sian woman who Is called the "little
grandmother" by her followers, and
who was condemned to Siberia for
the utterance of what she considered
patriotism, has at last been heard
from.
She Is on her way to Siberia and
suffering from scurvy. She is allow
ed 20 cents a day for food. Mme.
Breshkovsky will be remembered by
many who heard her In America as a
woman of great intellectual attain
ments and a heart full of love for her
countrymen.

"And then. If Satan should remark
casually, 'Well, I've made up my mind
to move my homeplace Jovrn here,
and start the fire In the basement of
Kennesaw mountain," the real estate
fellows would beat him to the spot.
and the price of town lots would go
up like a skyrocket on the Fourth o'
July! And people would crowd the
place; and then, when the fire broke
out and partially consumed 'em, they'd
lay all the blame on Providence,
which should have protected them,
and kept the fire down! The people
