They are not dead; they never
lived
To whom there was no Joy In
strife.
Not cloistered walls nor dunge-
on bars
Can dull the ecstasy of life.
To strive and gain,
Or strive and fail,
Is life! Let nothing else suffice.

THE NEW ADMINISTRATION'.
Under the leadership of its new
president, Dan P. Smythe, the' Com
mercial association of this city should,
within the next year, develop into a
factor of power for the upbuilding
- of the community, into an organiza
tion whose efficiency and usefulness
1 testified to by results. Mr. Smythe
U a man of action, an Idefatigable
worker, a capable organizer, and sur
charged with such an infectious life,
energy and enthusiasm that the most
sluggish and lethargic Individual re
sponds to his influence, and because
be possesses" these qualities there will
be none but that will Commend his
election as the head of the city's
boosting body.
In his opening speech last night,
Mr. Smythe made it plain that he
would lend his best efforts towards
raising the standard of the association
and making it something more than
a social organization. He pointed out
that there was much work to be ac
complished which would be of inesti
mable value to the city, the promot
ing of various irrigation projects in
the territory tributary to Pendleton,
"the securing of this city far a rail
road division point, the making of
Pendleton a travelling men's head
quarters and many other things which
will be directly beneficial to the city
and county.
By the selection of men of un
undoubted business sagacity and sta
bility to the other offices and to the
board of managers, the association
supplemented their wise choice of a
president, and the united efforts of
these men will be felt in the com
jnunity before any distant date.
Here's to the new administration.
BOURNE'S FISH BILL.
Senator Jonathan Bourne has suc
ceeded in getting through the senate
and favorably reported In the house,
ar act which provides that the secre
tary of commerce and labor be auth
orized and directed to establish two
or more fish-cultural stations on the
Columbia river or its tributaries in
the state of Oregon for the propoga
tion of salmon and other food fishes,
and to make the necessary surreys
and purchase sites, construct ponds
and buildings, construct, purchase,
.and hire boats and equipments, and
employ such assistance as may be re
quired for the construction and oper
ation of such fish-cultural stations at
suitable points to be selected by the
secretary of commerce and labor, and
the number of such stations to be de
termined by him, and for said purpose
the sum of fifty thousand dollars is
hereby authorized to be appropriat
ed: Provided, that before any final
steps shall have been taken for the
construction of fish-cultural stations
In accordance with this bill, the states
of Oregon and Washington, through
appropriate legislative action, shall
accord to the United States commis
sioner of fisheries and his duly au
thorized agents the right to conduct
fish hatching and all operations con
nected therewith in any manner and
at ' any time that may by them be
considered necessary and proper:
And provided further, that the opera
tions of such hatcheries may be sus
pended by the secretary of commerce
and labor whenever in his Judgment
the laws and regulations affecting
the fishes cultivated are allowed to
remain so Inadequate as to Impair the
efficiency of said hatcheries).
Since the state Is not asked to con-
tribute anything toward the establish-
ment or support of these cultural sta -
lions and since it will benefit lm -
measurably by their establishment,
the legislature will no doubt hasten
to accord to the United States Com
missioner the necessary rights, not
withstanding the fact that Bourne
may have had a hand in securing this
$50,000 appropriation for Oregon.
Senator M. A. Miller has been
prominently mentioned as the can
d'date of Oregon democrats for the
seat in the United States senate now
occupied by Jonathan Bourne Jr.
"Milt" as he is familiarly known to
nearly every man, woman and child
in Linn county has represented that
commonwealth in the upper branch
of the Oregon law-making body for
so long that "the memory of man
runneth not to the contrary." The
very fact that the voters of Old Linn
have sent him back to Salem regu
larly year after year, despite the fact
that he is a democrat, would Indicate
that his record as a senator has been
unimpeachable and that he has prov
en true to his trust In the race for
the democratic nomination he would
certainly run well "at home" for in
every session in in which he has sat as
a member, Senator Miller has been
found lined up on the side of the
people.
There are times when politics push
es Itself forward so prominently in
the settlement of public questions that
the average person is ready to cry
out, "Are there, then, no honest legis
lators, men who will suppress their
personal feelings and subordinate
their party interest to the welfare of
the whole people?" The rallying of
the Bowerman faction in the legis
lature to the support of J. W. Bailey,
the condemned food and dairy com
missioner, in order that Governor
West may not secure any credit for
the ousting of an official who has
been notoriously incompetent, dis
honest and negligent even in this age
or professional grafters Is the most
recent instance of the game as it is
played.
There are something like 1,500
voters in Umatilla county who con
tribute more than $2,000 annually to
the fish and game fund through the
hunting and angling license route,
who are heartily sick and tired of
the manner in which this fund has
been expended and not expended In
the past. They are disgusted with
the continual controversy between
the fish and game departments which
has made law-enforcement impossible.
They are therefore advocating the
fish commission bill.
Secretary Balllnger has given as
surances that he will hasten the sur
veys on the west unit of the Uma
tilla project to determine as soon as
possible what amount will be need
ed to complete that unit. The engi
neers and surveyors are on - the
ground and everything points to a
speedy undertaking of the actual
work of construction. Speed the day.
Two, hundred people near Eltopla
recently Joined in a rabbit hunt and
killed 200 rabbits. They may be in
terested to know that a man in Ken
tucky has recently invented rabbit
sa usage. Spokesman-Review.
Senator Bourne of Oregon declares
that about 80,000,000 people want the
direct election of senators. But what
can 80,000,000 people do against 80
senators? Spokesman-Review.
There is something unspeakably
disgusting and vulgar in the union
ot a child of 17 summers with a man
of 44 snows, even though that child
be an heiress and that man be a "blu.e
blood" of England.
It Is said that the Lord Decies
Vivlen Gould union was the result of
a love match. It was love of goM
on one side and love of a title on the
other.
The recall of Mayor Gill yesterday
by the voters of Seattle was un
doubtedly a notable triumph for de
cency. UNNECESSARY SERVICE.
"The express service," says one of
the Interstate commerce commis
sioners, "Is unlike any other service
performed by railroads In general
unless H may be the handling of the
mails." According to the "Interven
ing" Santa Fe's statistician, we must
conclude that the transportation of
the mails on passenger trains Is more
profitable than the hauling of ex
press matter. Yet both the railroads
and the express companies make rates
that enable the private citizen to ship
mailable matter by express for less
than the government Is charged for
haulage. The result is that freight
and express get the short haul, and
the long haul is left for the postofflce
and piles up its annual postal deficit.
says Robert Sloss In "Success Maga
sine."
In twenty years the express bus!
ness has more than doubled, and yet
there are not over 80,000 express em
ployes In the country today, ir we
took the total annual sum paid by all
express companies in salaries and wa
ges and divided It up evenly among
all employes, each would receive $(00
for his year's work. They would get
less than that If we did not Include

TRUTHFUL ADVERTISING
THE BASIS OF SUCCESS.
Since the Ingredients Entering Peruna
Are Known, Its Power as a Catarrh.
Eeniedy and Tonio is
Understood,
COLUMBUS, OHIO. The ac
tive ingredients entering the most
popular household remady In the
world have beert mcde known to
the public. This means a new era
in the advertising of popular fam
ily medicines Poruna leads.
Peruna contains among other
things, golden seal, powerful in its
effect upon the mucous mem
branes. Cedi-on seed, a rare
medicine end unsurpassed tonic.
Cubebs, valuable in nasal catarrh
and affections of the kidneys and
bladder. Stone root, valuable for
the nerves, mucous membranes
as well as in dropsy and indi
gestion. Asy Tour Druggist for a Free Peruna

lives if necessary, is $100 a month.
The recent strike was started by the
helpers, who demanded a raise of 5
a month and an eleven-hour day with
an hour for dinner. Helpers are get
ting from $40 to $60 a month. Time
out of mind their day has run from
6 o'clock In the morning till they get
through with the lastN load at night,
often eleven or twelve o'clock. They
snatch a bit to eat whenever they
get the chance, but the deliveries have
to be made.
On a ridiculously amall equipment
and cost of operation, the income of
the express companies Is immense.
With the increase of the business the
cost of haulage increases and the cost
of labor decreases. If, as the express
companies say, the terminal service
were the root of the business, in
creased business would bring an in
creasing cost of labor and a decreas
ing cost of haulage.
A foolish thing, this express busi
ness! Its promoters have lifted one
function from the railroads and one
from the postal service.
If you. In your home, have a butler
and a waitress to serve you at table,
do you want a third servant, who Is
neither butler nor waitress, to take
from the waitress' hands the lighter
dishes and from the butler's hands the
heavier dishes and place them before
you? Do you want the express com
panies illegitimately to continue to
perform the legitimate functions of
the railroad and the government? In
so-called benighted monarchies of
Europe the work Is better done.
Unnecessary service means unnec
essary cost to those served.
"THE BLUE BIRD.
A distinguished Belgian writer,
named Maurice Maeterlinck, Is the au
thor of a play which, to all who can
see clearly, is a most beautiful panto
mime. To some it is full of wisdom,
but there are none who fall to un
derstand how wonderful a fairy tale
It ls Maeterlinck has Imagined hap
piness to be a blue bird winging Its
way through this vast world of ours;
men and women and children seek
it, and though they wander far afield,
they soon learn, on returning home
that this elusive blue bird, as variable
as the sunshine, is close at hand and
within the reach of all.
What would you do If you were
asked suddenly to go forth and find
this happiness which Is on the wing?
Where would you turn, how would
you proceed, who would accompany
you- Maeterlinck has strange ways
of telling a story; his eyes not only
see things as they are, but picture
what things are within themselves.
This is not more wonderful in the
fairy world than the Invisible Cap or
the Seven-Leagued Boots which we
never question but believe In as a
fairy fact. Nor is It more marvelous
that bread or water or fire or sugar
or milk should have a soul than that
a princess should be transformed into
a witch, or that a prince should oe

er of a wild animal. We people who
dwell on earth are blind sometimes,
because we do not use our imagina
tlons.
You remember, probably, that Peter
Pan asked a question: "Do you be
lieve in fairies?" Upon your answer
depended the flickering life of Tinker
Bell. Maeterlinck also asks a ques
tlon through hi little boy hero: "If
any of you should find the blue bird
would you be so very kind as to give
him back to us? . . . We need
him for our happiness later on." It
Is every one's duty, therefore, to an
swer these questions of Pe.ter Pan and
Tyltyl, each in his own way, ana
herein you shall find hof Maeterlinck
with a child's heart as well as In a
philosopher's manner, tells of Mytyl's
and Tytyl's search for this blue bird
of happiness. "The Blue Bird" for
"Happiness" in the February St.
Nicholas.
Here Is the plthiest sermon ever
preached: "Our Ingress into life is
naked and bare; our progress through
life is trouble and care; our egress
out of it we know not where; but,
doing well here, we shall do well
there. I could not tell more by
preaching a year."
