Official Cltr and County Paper.
Let no man pray that he knows
not sorrow;
Let no soul ask to be free
from pain,
For the call of today is the
sweet of tomorrow,
And the moment's loss Is the
lifetime gain.
Through want of a thing does its
worth redouble;
Through hunger's pangs does
the feast content,
And only the heart that has bar-
bored trouble
Can fully rejoice when Joy Is
sent.
Let no man shrink from the bit-
ter tonics . "
Of grief, and yearning, and
need, and strife;
For the rarest, chords in the
soul's harmonics
Are found in the minor
strains of life.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
WHY DUD THEY DO IT?
Through the persistent opposition
of the grange the good roads meas
ures have been so emasculated that
the legislation enacted amounts to
but little In the view of this paper.
Aa It looks now we will have a bond
ing law and a law providing for a
highway commission and a commis
sioner. But the state aid bills fails
so there will be no state appropri
ation for good roads.
Just what the highway commission
-can accomplish without the state aid
law is difficult to understand. On
the face of things the commission as
provided for looks about as useful as
a tilk tassel on an umbrella. Tet It
Is possible of course that the com
mission may do much good. The good
roads leaders seem Jubilant over the
creation of the commission even
though the other measures went by
the board. Let us hope the exulta
tion is not due merely to the fact that
they have won a moral victory. It
takes something more than moral
yictories to build good roads.
Why the farmers' organizations of
this state have striven . so hard to
tlock good roads legislation this year
If hard to understand. Usually the
farmer is the most earnest advocate
of good roads. He should be such
because he has the most to gain
from good highways.
The East Oregonian is frank to
charge the opposition of the grange
and of the farmers' union to mistaken
teal on the part of the leaders and
not to genuine opposition on the part
of the tank and file of farmers them
selves. ' The average farmer Is a sen
sible, practical man and he knows
that the only way to do a thing is to
d it. He knows that good roads can
not be constructed out of talk. He
knows that if permanent highways
are to be had money must be . voted
for their construction and that some
one most be Intrusted with the Job.
He also realizes the hopelessness of
trying to get a good roads plan that
will be absolutely equitable and satis
factory to everyone. Only the In
dians could do that.
Had the majority of the farmers
fully understood the measures pro
posed by the good roads association
and the motives back of those meas
ures they would have risen In their
might and demanded the passage of
those bills. Many Umatilla county
farmers did favor the bills, prominent
among the number being H. J. Tay
lor and S. R. Thompson, officers of
the good roads association.
But the grange leaders at Salem
have worked with the apparent Idea
of blocking any legislation that prom
ised results. They have persistently
fought the state aid bill and they
have tried to so amend the other
measures as to make them worthless.
' To a large extent they have succeeded
In their desires.
What do the farmers think of the
ways of their organization leaders T
ALONG THE RIGHT LINE.
From the W "Get Together" con-
much benefit should result. ' Plainly
there is much misunderstanding at
this time as to the alms and objects
ot the various organizations that will
participate in the gathering. Realiz
ing this fact the members of the far
mers union have suggested the com
ing meeting and for their action they
are entitled to commendutlon and
encouragement.
Ketwoen the farmer and the towns
man there are many common inter
ests, if the fact is but realized. As
a general rule the prosperity of one
means the prosperity of the other.
Then why cannot both work side by
side for their common advancement?
Prepare to attend the "Get To
gether" convention.
THE XATl'RAL DIVISION.
The congressional reapportionment
bill drafted by Senator Oliver Is
plainly the plan that should be adopt
ed. It provides for placing all the
counties of eastern Oregon in one dist
rict; Multnomah county in another
and the remainder of the Willamette
valley counties in a third.
The merit of this plan is that It di
vides the state along natural geo
graphical lines. The present con
gressional arrangement is unsatisfac
tory because eastern Oregon, though
constituting two-thirds the area of the
state, is helpless through being
grouped with Multnomah and
several other western Oregon coun
ties. With the reapportionment in
effect eastern Oregon will be enabled
to select a congressman of its own
and he will be free to devote his en
ergies to the needs of this section of
the state.
The legislature has but a few days
iii which to conclude its labors and
some of the most Important measures
ore yet to be passed upon. It will be
absolutely impossible for the legisla
tors to give all measures full consid
eration. However there is this con
solation that two-thirds the bills pro
posed merit no consideration what
ever.
The timber trust, according to Her
bert Knox Smith, is about the great
est trust ever.. It has the Standard
oil company looking like a mole hill
beside a mountain. This news is not
surprising for at various times there
has been evidence of the existence of
the timber and lumber trust.
Portland people wanted to give
$200,000 for the construction of good
roads throughout the state but the
grangers objected. Portland is now
in a position to say "Very well, we'll
keep the money then."
Is it possible that some of the leg
islators who voted to pass the bill re
pealing the anti-wife beating law over
the governor's veto expect trouble up
on their return home?
THE RUND-CP.
(Irrigon Irrigator.)
"Dirt will soon be flying on the
new Round-up stadium. The grounds
will unquestionably be in good shape
for the big show next fall and there
will be rousing entertainment. Now
let big preparations be made for
housing and feeding the visitors who
will be here."
We take the above from the Ore
gonian, of Pendleton, and are glad
to know that the enthusiastic people
of that fine little city are still hustling
to make the Round-up a success, a
bigger success than ever.
And there is no doubt it will be.
Last year they went at the Job al
most blind, without money, almost
without concert of action but what
a success they made! Never had
such crowds been seen east of the
mountains in Oregon.
And fun, enjoyment! Why every
body went away feeling that they
would not miss a repetition of the
event for a week's wage. And they
and their relatives will all be there
this year to make up one of the larg
est crowds ever assembled In the
state, except in Portland. Not even
the State Fair will excel them In
numbers.
We are glad that up to date no
town has had the gall to steal Pen
dletons great show, either in name
or act. And that Is right It belongs
to Pendleton Just as much as the
State Fair belongs to Salem or the
Rose Festival to Portland.
And in time it will be an event of
the greatest importance to the entire
Northwest, and of untold advantage
to the whole state of Oregon.
As for housing and feeding the vis
itors, we know the Pendleton people
will look out for that. Every hearth
and every home in Pendleton will be
opened to the strangers and there will
be no lack of bed or board.
Mayor Gaynor of New York, Is be
ing flooded with Invitations to address
public gatherings In various sections
of the country, including the legisla
tures of several states. The mayor
regards it as a Joke that several news
papers have laid out for him tours
that lead In different sections. These
stories really brought about the in
vitations. One report was that the
mayor was to take a trip through
Mexico and aa a result the Texas leg
islature was misled Into adopting res
olutlons requesting Judge Gaynor to
address both branches "on his way
through to Mexico." The legislature
has made all preparations to accord
the mayor the privileges of the floor
In both houses. In the meantime
Mayor Gaynor says If he leaves New
York. It will be for a rest and not to
accept any Invitations of any kind, be
cause his throat needs complete
THE PESSIMIST.
When the sun isn't bright and the
sky isn't blue,
And no one Is friendly or Jolly or
true,
And the eusiest lenders refuse to
come through,
And life seems u bust and a flivver;
When you haven't an appetite even
for pie ,
And you dismally moan that you wish
you would die,
Don't fancy that nature has gone all
awry,
It's something gone wrong with
your liver.
When the girl that you love prefers
somebody .else,
When Fate picks you out for his wal
lops and welts,
When your luck seems as bad as ono
T. Hoos-e-velt's,
And you think you will Jump in the
river;
Don't do it although you may think
you're accursed,
nd you find that the best you can
see Is the worst,
Go hunt up a good, able doctor man
first,
It isn't your luck; it's your liver.
When the books that you read seem
uncommonly bad,
And the musical plays are pathetic
and sad,
And the Jokes of your friends drive
you perfectly md,
And Caruso seems merely to chat
ter; Don't turn on the gas in your flat
not to-night
Just chirk up a bit for a while and sit
tight,
Day after tomorrow you'll find you're
all right
Your liver that's all that's the
matter.

MASCULINE FASHIONS.
(Kansas City Journal.)
One of the distinct compensations
of advancing years, from the mascu
line point of view, is the Increasing
emancipation from the dictation of
styles in wearing apparel. With ma
turity and prosperity the man of af
fairs shakes off the dizzy satorlal
straitjackets of adolescence and "gets
comfortable." This does not mean
that he becomes shabby and slovenly
or that he necessarily saves money
In dressing himself. It only means
that when a man of years and re
sponsibilities visits his tailor he in
structs him to fashion his garments
according to safe and sane architec
tural designs.
The edict has gone forth from an
organization bearing the name of the
International Custom Cutters, mat
there are to be radical changes in
men's fashions this spring and sum
mer. It is said that the "foolish"
exaggerated man" is to give place to
the "unexaggerated man," . which
means according to the tailors' blue
prints that "shoulders will be narrow,
the chest full and the waist narrow,
giving the effect of a corset." The
trousers will be skin tight, reminding
one of the good old days, and will
onlv reach to the shoe top. This is
called by the tailors the "unexagger
ated man." Heaven help the mascu
line being who has a hankering for
a bit of exaggeration along the same
lines.
The custom cutters are bewailing
the fact that American men do not
pay sufficient attention to the alc
tates of fashion. We are indicted as
being "grossly independent" of form
and fashion. ' Only our college boys
appear to pay any attention to the
mode in clothing, while the men go
their way happy and comfortable and
not caring a continental whether the
custom cutters like it or not. Debon
aire young gentlemen who are sup
ported by generous fathers will no
doubt encase their legs in snake skins
and pad their chests Instead of their
shoulders. But the great producing
mass of men will keep right on wear
ing loose and becoming clothing and
the International Custom Cutters can
go hang.
Treatment of V. S. Fishing VetsscU.
The bureau of manufactures Is In
receipt of a memorandum of the Ca
nadian department of customs, da.ed

United States fishing vessels in Ca

decisions of The Hague tribunal of
September 7, 1910. The memoran

It may be consulted by those interest
ed. Ever since his nomination as gov
ernor of.N'ew Jersey, Dr. Woodrow
Wilson has been talking. His friends
point to his record so far to show
that from the start he showed he
had one of the qualities least com
mon among men who are obliged to
talk often. He never opens his mouth
unless he has something to say.
Here's how he describes the progres
sive spirit: "That quality in man
which insists upon recognizing new
facts which tries to adjust legisla
tive policy to new facts and conditi

Increase of $85 670 over the exports

OREGON'S SCHOOL ASSETS.
The school fund of Oregon is now
more than $6,000,000. Last October
It was $6,038,454.35. The university
fund was $103 635. The agricultural
college fund was $198,783. The
school fund January 1, 1895, was $2,
530,616. There is a possibility that the
school fund will ultimately reach $8,
000,000. The assets for its further In
crease are about 500,000 acres of
school lands, an unknown amount of
swamp lands, and possibly a portion
of the Indemnity lands, the latter ag
gregating about 50,000 acres.
Of the school lands 350,000 acres
are In Malheur, Harney and Lane
counties. The remainder is in va
rious counties of eastern Oregon. Ba
ker has 14,000 acres, Crook 34,960,
Union 3960, Grant 8880, Jackson
240, Lincoln 360, and Klamath 6920.
Among the countes that have none
are Clatsop, Marlon, Linn, Multno
mah, Clackamas, Lane, Washington,
Yamhill and Polk. Benton has 40
acres. The sale and the value of
the eastern Oregon lands will be aid
ed by railroads building into that ter
ritory. The character and amount of the
swamp lands are problematical. It
Is believed they may aggregate 40,
000 to 50,000 acres and be of large
Money to Loan on Good Secur
ity. Will Accept applications
for 1000, $1500 or $4000 Loan

value. In his message Governor West
pointed out the urgent Importance
of taking up with the federal govern
ment the final selection of these
lands, and he is now in correspond
ence with Washington authorities fn
the subject. A fact that has to be
established is that the lands in ques
tion were swamp lands on March
12, I860. But few men are still liv
ing who can give testimony on this
point, and on them depends the state's
claim to much of the land.
Governor West is also urging upon
the federal government that the state
be permitted to select in one group
indemnity lands now scattered
through wide areas in the forest re
serves. As now located they are of
much less value than If grouped into
one big tract of 60,000 acres, and at
the same time, there should be no
objection by the Washington authori
ties to the arrangement.
In any event public efforts now be
ing made In behalf of the education
al funds are to be applauded, and
it Is to be hoped they may be as fruit
ful as they are meritorious. Oregon
