THE RUXXERS.
. . . For I run not alone.
There run with me the Silent
Three,
Through fields the dead have
sown.
One with a sweet and piteous
smile
The tireless Past ah, he will
last
For many a footsore mile.
And one, Ihe Now with stern,
white gaze
Who gives no heed though I
do bleed
Along the thorny ways.
One with masked face, lips
dumb.
Beckons my soul to some blind
goal
The wraith of Things to Come.
. . . Nay, I run not alone,
There run with me the Silent
Three,

' Through fields the dead have
sown.

THE BRANCH ASYLUM.
In a message sent the legislature
.yesterday Governor West asked that
a, special committee of capable and
disinterested men be sent to Pendle-
ton to look over the site that has been
t selected as a location for the branch
.asylum. He sets forth that the land
'purchased by Bowerman offers no
suitable building site for such a large
Institution and he gives the seasons
why the site is objectionable. He
-would have the state board authoriz--ed
to purchase additional land so that
.a better building site may be secured.
There Is nothing new or startling
i in this. While they were here the
other day both Governor West and
' Treasurer Kay were frank In crtti
. clsing the site selected. They pre-
dieted then that more land would have
to be purchased.
In acting as tiey have done both
''the governor and state treasurer have
' been entirely within their rights and
they can be subjected to -no proper
criticism. They will have the expend
ing of a vast Bum of money for the
, people of Oregon. It is but right
they should be careful and see that
no blunders are made. A building site
must be had that will be amply large
for the buildings to be erected and
' (or possible future enlargements. If
the site chosen by Bowerman does not
offer suitable building ground it would
: be a crime against decency and good
fffvernment for the present board to
ahead and erect a half million dol
lar institution upon that site.
But there is no move on to take
the branch asylum away from Pen
dleton. The members of the board so
stated while here and they have so
Mated publicly since that time. It la
plainly the intention to secure more
land In this vicinity and to locate the
buildings upon that land. During the
. past few days Engineer Murphy has
been looking over other tracts with
' this idea in view.
In the view of the East Oregonlan
Pendleton has nothing to fear from
Governor WeBt or Treasurer Kay.
' They are big men, not petty and vici
ous politicians. They are doing their
' duty as they see it They are not try
ing to job Pendleton or do anything
of the sort. At this time the only
Moment of danger seems to lie In the
possibility of a fight In the legisla-
' tare. Should Bowerman and his fol
lowers try to justify the action tak
en by the retiring acting governor
and prevent the purchase of more
land then the whole thing may be
thrown Into the air.
But is Is more than likely the leg-
ialature will uphold the present board.
The legislature Is progressive and the
organisation In both houses is friend
ly to the governor. Both houses
should back the administration in Its
asylum plans. Upon this point It Is
1 timely to remark that both Senators
' Barrett and Burgess should stand
with the new board despite the fact
r that-they were for Bowerman as
president of the senate. The Inter
esta of Pendleton and of Umatilla
country are greater than any consid-
eralon of petty politics. If the new
board wants to buy more land for the
asylum then our senators should
stand by them In the move. This la
no time for cheap personal politics.
A FITILE ATTACK.
Defending the state conservation
commission against an unjust attack
made upon it by Jay Bowerman, the
Journal said yesterday:
"Mr. Bowerman's Information was
bad. No sum of $5000 was appro
priated for the commission. The
amount for the two years was $1000
and of this sum but $565 was ex
pended. "Second, the money was much bet
ter expended than in Mr. Bowerman's
famous scheme of putting Dr. Pla
mondon on a salary of $3000 a year
two years before his services were
required at the Oregon branch asy
lum. The work of the commission
and its predecessors has been of in
valuable service to the state. It was
to the original commission that Is
largely due the enactment of the Ore
gon water code. That achievement
and the fruit It has borne is evidence
of the field there Is for a conserva
tion commission in the state.
"The work accomplished through
the water code Is alone worth tlie
cost of a commission for a century,
and there remains other fields for
similarly fruitful endeavor by the
body. It has limited the franchises
on water powers to a period of 40
years and at the end of the time re
turns the title to the state instead of
allowing it to remain the vested right
of a private corporation. If there
had been an Oregon conservation
commission 20 years ago, the' Port
land Railway, Light & Power com
pany would not now claim owner
ship of the Willamette Falls and
would not be warning farmers along
the river to its source that they must
'not take water from the stream for
irrigation purposes if by so doing
they reduce the flow of water at the
falls.
'The trouble with Oregon has been
that it did not have conservation
commissions long ago."
When he tried to muck rake the
state conservation commission Jay
Bowerman took up a hard Job. The
valuable work done by J. N. Teal and
associates on that commission is too
well known. The commission will not
suffer by Bowerman's attack but the
people of this state are shown once
more what stripe of politician Jay
Bowerman Is.
HIDE TILVT SKUNK.
Prompted by some political mo
tive, the devil knows what, a lying,
dirty, untimely attack was made here
yesterday upon Governor West and
State Treasurer Kay. In local circles
that attack will have no effect be
cause people will merely consider the
source. But it would be bad to nave
it go abroad. The nature of that at
tack was such that it constitutes an
outrageous Insult to the governor, to
Mr. Kay and to the entire state,
Pendleton must squelch such stuff as
that and show that the decent, re
sponsible element of her citizenship
does not countenance such tactics. If
we must have skunks in our midst
then for God's sake let us keep them
covered at a time like this.
In committee appointments Uma
tilla senators have not fared well but
the house members were well treated.
Peterson Is chairman of the public
lands committee and is upon the ir
rigation committee. Mahoney and
Mann are both upon ways and means
and have other good places.
With the work on the extension of
the project and the natural develop
ment now on in the west end Her
miston has a right to expect to grow.
What Pendleton wants is the branch
asylum. We can safely leave the de
tails to the state board and to the
engineers.

BACK, TIIEX, TO THE FARM.
Richard Croker, during his visit to
New York last month, discussed with
a reporter the high cost of living.
"The farmers are all right," said
Mr. Croker. "It is the people who In
sist on living in the towns who find
everything too dear. In the towin,
you see, the expenses are as bother
some as the children.
"A little boy in a tiny flat looked up
from his drum one day and said:
" 'Mothr, Adam and Eve lived In
paradise. What was it like there?'
" 'Like what It Is here, his mother
answered, 'when you eight children
are all at school.' "
HIS WIFE DID.
"My largest item of expense is on
account of advertising."
"Indeed! I was not aware that you
were in business."
"I'm not. But my wife reads the
advertisements In the newspapers."

Hawthorne preached against the state

1905 Russian troops occupied
Kashgar, China, after threat to In
vade empire for alleged discrimina
tion. A CRUSTY CHARACTER,
George E. Turner, at a dinner at
the Curtis hotel m Lenox, said with
a smile:
"This hotel was originally a New
England boarding house. The board
was very simple here. And old Cur
tis, the original old Curtis, was a
character.
"Curtis used to drive a very aris
tocratic lady, Mrs. Butler, every af
ternoon. One day he' was extremely
talkative. Mrs. Butler stood his talk
for an hour or so, and then she said.
In her stiffest and most grande dame
manner:
" 'Mr. Curis, I pay you to drive, not
to talk.'
"Curtis of course, said no more.
But when his bill came at the end of
the month there was one day's charge
which was set at $2.50 Instead of the
usual 50 cents. Lenox prices, by the
way were lower then than now.
" 'Mr. Curtis,' said Mrs. Butler,
what is the reason of this singular
charge of $2.50 Instead of the usual
half dollar on the 11th?"
" 'Half a dollar for the drive, and
$2 tor your sass,' Old Curtis answered
gruffly."
OBVIOUS.
'Mayor Gaynor of New York, in a
recent address to a body of ministers,
said wittily: .
"Some people expect me to entirely
reform New York In 24 hours. They
forget that you ministers have been
at work on man for 2000 years and
haven't entirely reformed him yet.
"The answer to the complaints of
such people is obvious obvious like
Grougham's words to Palmerston.
"Palmerston, In an after-dinner
speech, stumbled.
" 'They tell us,' he said, 'that a lit
tie learning is a dangerous thing, but
It is better it is better than better
than '
" 'Better than a great deal of ig
norance," Brougham prompted, grave
ly."
The Rev. Mr. J. some months ago
was making his first call at the cot
tage of one of his poorer parishioners
in the suburbs. For a long time he
sat at the window with Mrs. Y.'s 11'
tie daughter.
"In looking out of dors, you no
tlce how bright Is the green of the
leaves nnd grass?" he asked.
"Yes, sir," she said.
"Whv does it appear so much
brighter at this time?" he next asked
smiling benevolently.
" 'Cause ma has jus washed the
window, and you can see out better,"
she said.
FIXIXG THE PRICE.
Two miserable looking hoboes call
ed on the dean of a medical college
and proposed that he purchase their
bodies for the dissecting room, as they
were on the verge of starvation and
had not long to live.
"It Is an odd proposition," hesitat
ed the dean.
"But it Is occasionally done," sug
gested the spokesman eagerly.
"Well, said the dean, "we might ar
range it. What price do you ask?"
"Over In New York," replied the
spokesman, "they gave us $40." Lip
