TO HEARTS HEROIC.
Enough that we but live deter-
minedly, -
In steadfast purpose harness
all our might;
It matters not In death or vie-
tory
To those who wield the bat-
tie-blade of Right!
It matters not tho' scorn their
portion be,
And praise, the undeserved
boon of Wrong;
Their worth shall claim a glad
futurity
- Who falter not because the
- road is long!
Heroic hearts must bear the
conflict's brunt,
The air is laden with a heavy
- pall
A few must form the vanguard's
fated front
And fighting die, that others
may not fall!

NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING.
In taking preliminary action tow
ards securing a new " high school
building the school board has made
a timely move and it is a move that
will be approved by the rank and
file of the people of this city.
That the present high school is an-,
tiquated and unsatisfactory has long
been known. It Is doubtful if there
Is another town In Oregon of the size
and importance of Pendleton that
does not surpass this city in high
school accommodations. In view of
this city's wealth and of the fact that
'Pendleton people pride themselves
that this is a school town the old
structure on the hill la a disgrace.
The present building would have
been supplanted before now had it
not been that local conditions during
the past few years have been unfavor
able for voting Improvements. Now
that Pendleton is entering upon an
era of advancement and Improvement
the time is at hand for securing a new
high school. The sooner a fine high
school building is erected the better
it will be. There will be some who
will object to the expenditure and will
argue that the present building will
do for a few years longer. The same
arguments were used against street
paving and against almost every oth
er improvement ever made In this
city. But it Is poor business policy
to delay Improvements when those
Improvements are actually needed
and may be had. Civic improvements
such as good school buildings and
good streets bring on other better
ments and produce a spirit of pro
gress one of the very best assets of
a growing community.
Now that Hie school board has
started out to secure a new high
school building this year they should
be encouraged in the move. Civic
Improvements are now in order In
Pendleton. Let us start the ball roll
ing by voting a new high school
building a building that we may
-truthfully proclaim as the best struc
ture of Its sort In eastern Oregon.
GOVERNOR WEST'S MESSAGE.
Governor West's message to the leg'
1slature Is typical of the man. He is
a progressive In politics and he is a
-clean cut, vigorous man. In treating
of political matters he upholds the
Oregon system and he asks for legis
lation in Una with the progressive
thought of this state.
However the governor shows to best
advantage when he treats of subjects
relating to the business welfare of the
state and of Its people. He is thor
oughly at home there and his mes
aage contains some timely and sen
' slble suggestions. Having been . a
banacer he knows of the weaknesses
in our banking system and he points
out one when he says that at this time
in Oregon the crooked banker Is pro
tected from the people but that the
people are not properly safeguarded
Against the crooked banker. He
snakee several recommendations look
ing to the betterment of conditions.
Having been an active member of
the railroad commission Governor
West knows of the work being done
by that body and he commends state
regulation of the railroads. Having
been clerk of the state land board ho
I' informed regarding the state lands.
He makes one suggestion of particu
lar interest. He proposes to ' estab
lish a state forest through using the
50,000 acres of "base" coming to the
state from the federal government
Upon the surface at least this appears
to be a meritorious scheme for It
looks o conserving what the state
has left in the way of lands. It la
only tobe regretted that the state has
not more than 50,000 acres of "base"
coming at this time. Many state prob.
Urns would now be simpler and Ore
gon schools would be better provid
ed with funds had not the machine
politicians of the past allowed this
state to be outrageously robbed of its
public lands.
Governor West's recommendation
that the state printer be placed upon
a flat salary is a move in the inter
est of economy. That is a reform
that should hatfe been attended to
years ago. The fee system is a relic
of the "dark age" In Oregon politics.
Taken as a whole the governor's
message indicates that he is out to
give this state the best administra
tion he knows how. It will be a re
form administration and from ap
pearances grafts and political abuses
will not thrive well in Oregon during
tlie next few years.
A TARDY COMPLAINT.
The Portland Oregonlan, true to
lt usual parsimonious proclivities, is
now objecting to the appropriations
made by the legislature for the vari
ous district fairs of the state. It
overlooks entirely the benefits deriv
ed from the holding of these fairs. It
forgets that the fairs stimulate the
farmers, horticulturists and stock-
growers to do better and better work
in their respective lines and that
these lines of industry are benefitted
and the wealth of the state increased
through the holding of the district
fairs. The Oregonlan ' can see only
that the state is spending some money
and spending it outside of Portland.
The Oregonian had no objection when
the legislature voted a cool 1500,000
for the benefit of the Lewis & Clarke
fair. That paper shows poor grace
if nothing else in objecting to the
small sums the state now pays out
in premiums at the district fairs.
Governor West's message shows
that Oregon is spending per capita for
Its national guard about one-third
what California spends. Then it Is
obvious that If our guard company is
short of money the state is not lib
eral enough. Take it up with the
legislators, boys.
For several days the weather men
have persistently predicted "snow
and colder" for eastern Oregon. But
at Pendleton we have had no snow
and it is not very cold. Perhaps they
sent us the forecast intended for
Eaker and La Grande.
Pendleton is the Queen City of east
ern Oregon and is so recognized by
the outside world. We should have
n fine high school, for this is the ed
ucational Center as well as the com
fercial hub of this part of the state.
SHE GOT EVEN.
Little Dorothy had been very
naughty and her mother's patience
was exhausted.
"Dorothy," she admonished severe
ly, "the next time you are a bad girl
I shall put you In a dark closet un
til you learn to be better."
Dorothy heard, but did not heed,
and before long her mother was ob
liged to administer the promised pun
ishment. She was placed In her
mother's clothes-closet, and the door
was tightly shut on her.
For fifteen minutes Dorothy re
mained in durance vile. Then her
mother, hearing no sounds, and think
ing the litle girl had time to become
penitent, opened the door. A very
red and defiant little face was turned
towards her.
"What were you doing, Dorothy?"
asked her mother suspiciously.
"I 'pit on your 'klrt," said the child
deliberately, "and then I 'pit on your
'hoes. An' now I'm waiting for more
'pit." January Llppincott's.
A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.
The nine-year-old boy of a Balti
more family, who Is compelled by his
parents to practice dally upon the pi
ano, may not be a clever performer,
but he has a pretty shrewd notion of
the worth of an Instrument, as well
as a rather mature wit, as Is evidenced
by an Incident ii the household not
Ions; alnce.
His father, upon returning home
from a week's absence, heard the lad
plugging away at the piano.
"When did you learn that new
piece. Son?" asked the parent.
"It isn't a new piece, Dad," answer
ed the boy. "The piano has been tun.

SOME ROUNDCT SUGGESTIONS.
Editor East Oregonlan:
Having been at Pendleton recently,
I learned from members of tho
-Roundup association and through tho
East Oregonlan that . the association
has decided on and bought the Mat
lock property for future roundup ex
hibitions. This property, having been bought
at a comparatively low price, and on
account of ltsT proximity to the town
and its suitableness to roundup and
fair exhibitions, will, with proper de
velopment, soon pay for Itself and be
come a continuous source of Income,
not only to the town of Pendleton,
but also to the surrounding country.
The Roundup association Is to be
congratulated on securing this valu
able property.
Mr. Matlock, having the Interests
of pendleton and surrounding country
at heart, sold this property at a low
figure because he always desires to
promote and advance the Interests of
his home town.
The recent roundup held, In connec
tion with the district fair, at Pendle
ton, added a very attractive and enter
taining feature to the latter.
Those young men and women that"
participated In the Roundup, although
handicapped by lack or space and
other obstacles, through determina
tion and Indomitable will, made the
Round up a grand success reflects
honor upon all concerned.
However, the grounds of the
Roundup being so small that the
young "cowboys" and expert girl rid
ers could not. regardless of their un
tiring efforts and determined purpose,
do their best In riding wild, unbroken,
vicious "outlaws" that had never been
either roped or bridled, nor saddled,
nor ridden.
Under such unfavorable conditions,
caused by lack of space, it is impos
sible to successfully exhibit the dar
ing skill of horsemanship of young
men and girls, on the one hand, and
tenacious endurance and speed of the
horses of the northwest, which, due
to certain qualities such as agility of
feet, quick bodily movements and high
strung nerves, demonstrated in run
ning long distances with unusual speed
and apparently with very little effort
on their part, are superior for riding
and driving purposes, to the horses of
other countries.
There are still some wild horses In
Morrow, Grant and Umatilla counties,
wild horses that have been Interbred
with "thoroughbreds " And It Is due
to this fact that this class of horses
does excel, in endurance and speed,
any other type of horse.
This class of horses brings forth the
"outlaws."
By all means, a track of one-half
mile In length, regardless of cost,
should be provided for. such track of
one-half mile In length can be, un
doubtedly, made on these grounds. By
so doing, the association will draw the
terests and support of the stock
men a fact that should not be over
looked. The Roundup association and the
District Fair association should coop
erate, because there is strength in co
operation. Co-operation is the key that un
locks every difficult and complicated
problem.
Our great twentieth century indus
trial institutions are carried on so
successfully on a cooperative basis.
Therefore, friends and fellow citi
zens, you should cooperate.
The Roundup association and the
Fair association, by mutual agree
ment and cooperative effort, could
carry every feature of the fair, as
well as that of the roundup, to a suc
cessful issue and make every succeed
ing fair and roundup grander and
more successful than the preceding
one.
A certain time say two, four
days, during which to hold the dis
trict fair, a certain length of time
could be given for the carylng out of
every program of the roundup.
And by unity of concentrated effort
of both the Roundup association and
the Fair association, there could be
only one result. Grand success as to
the district fair and the roundup. ,,
But by all means, they should pro
cure a one-half mile track, with suit
able buildings thereon; some for the
accommodation of the stock exhibit
ed; others for the storage of feed for
the sustenance of the . livestock
brought to the fair and roundup.
An electric car line could be built,
carrying exhibitors and visitors to and
from the fair and roundup grounds In
a few months' time.
One-half mile track Is essential, so
that we can have relay races. The best
and finest horses are required to car
ry on the relay races successfully.
I suggest that the Roundup and
Fair associations have a meeting
sometime during the early spring,
draw resolutions and come to defi
nite conclusions as to future programs,
This being accomplished, some men
would train and develop some fine
saddlers' and driving horses.
Some men are willing to train and
prepare a "string" of horses for the
track.
And there Is no doubt that some
other young men will follow the exam
pie, and they, too, will prepare
"strings" of horses, to be run at the
next year's fair and roundup.
Fellowmen, friends and neighbors,
let us all put our shoulders to the
wheel, and In determination and co
operative efforts, bring; forth the ne
cessary development of the track a
half mile track with suitable but In
expensive buildings, so that the
roundup and district fair can both be
carried on successfully on the same
grounds.
It Is said that the expenses of the
Roundup amounted to 16000, that the
people attending the fair spent $100,
000 on this occasion.
But progress, expansion and well
directed effort should be our motto.
The Pendleton Roundup and fair
should represent Institutions of state
Importance nay, of national reputa
tion. By so doing we shall attract more
people to the northwest, who are will
ing to make It their future home. We
thus advertise our stock and agricul
tural products. The "wild and wooly
west" will be no longer on record,
but the grand, fertile, productive, un-

Philadelphia Inquirer: The Inter
national commerce of the world for
the current year is estimated at 30.
000,000,000, about equally divided be
tween im'ports and exports. These are
the total figures for all of the civilized
nations as reported. Of course, they
are not wholly accurate, but must be
substantially so. And it is noteworthy
that these figures apply for the most
part to about one-third of the popula
tion of the world. Asia does not con
tribute anything like what one would
imagine from its population of a good
deal more than half of the world. Af
rica cuts a very small figure. Europe
and North America do most, but
South America Is making enormous
strides.
This shows how the people of the
world are becoming more and more
Independent. In civilized nations
practically every one depends upon
the rest of the world for some of his
necessities of life, as well as some lux
uries. In this country we could get
along if foreign trade were suspended
but it would involve much change
and no little financial disaster.
ljn;o Russian Potato Crop,
In a country with nearly 150,000,
000 Inhabitants, the question of pub
lic alimentation is the first and most
Important, especially In view of the
rapidly growing prices of all kinds of
animal food.
In Russia, until lately, the food of
the masses consldted, besides varying
quantities of animal substances, prin
cipally of cereals, cruclferae (cab
bages, etc.), cucurbltaceae (melons.
efiri, and a few other kinds of plant
food. The potato did not enter Into
It to any appreciable extent. Now
this Is rapidly changing and the po
tato is more grown and more valued.
This year's potato crop proves to
have been in many parts so abund
ant that the markets are filled, and
prices for good table or Industrial po
tatoes are as low as 6 to 6 1-2 cents
per measure (a little over 36 pounds).
and dealers have purchased in vil
lages potatoes as low as 3 1-2 to 4
cents per measure. Naturally this
could leave little or no profit for the
growers, and In many places they have
tried to solve the difficulty by extract
ing the starch and selling It to trea

of such starch, however, has in some
places fallen as low as 30 to 33 cents

toward showing how litle prepared
Russia Is to deal satisfactorily with
any chance surplus.
Peking advices state that the Japa
nese government has concluded a
twenty-year contract with the Hany
ang Ironworks for 100,000 tons of ore
and 100,000 tons of pig iron annually.
This contract is regarded by the Jap
anese as of great importance, since
the government foundry is almost
wholly dependent upon China for its
raw material.
CATARRH
A SYSTEMIC BLOOD DISEASE
Catarrh is not merely an affection
of the mucous membranes; it is a
deep-seated blood disease in which the
entire circulation and greater part of
the system are involved. It is more
i-omnionly manifested in the head,
nose and throat, because of the sensi
tive nature of these membranes, and
also because they are more easily
reached by irritating influences from
the outside. The symptoms of Ca
tarrh, such as a tight feeling in the
head, nose stopped up, thsoat clogged
and dry, hacking cough, etc., show
that the tiny blood vessels of the mu
cous membranes are badly congested
and inflamed from the impurities in
the circulation. To cure Catarrh per
manently the blood must be purified
and the system cleansed of all un
healthy matter. Nothing equals
S. S. S. tor this purpose. It attacks
the disease at its
head, goes down
to the bottom of
the trouble and
makes a complete
and lasting cure
by PURIFYING
the blood. Then
the inflamed
membranes begin
t heal, the head i cleared, breathing
ecoines natural and easy, the throat
i no longer clogged, and every un
'.casant symptom of the disease dis
spears S. S. S. is the greatest of all
ood purifiers, and for this reason is
:e most certain cure for Catarrh,
