looks to the advancement of this lit
tle city. Mayor Murphy, W. L.
Thompson, R. Alexander, Leon Cohen,
Will Moore and about 25 or 30 other
good men were also In the brigade
that worked night and day for many
weeks, hoping thereby to place Ton-
dleton upon the path to growth and
prosperity. It was a long hard up
hill fight waged against the sneer
and scoffs of pessimists and against
the subtle obstructions of Interests
that opposed the move for selfish
reasons.
Hut thanks to the determined
work of the committeemen and to the
loyal and progressive spirit of the peo
ple of this city the fight as far as
Pendleton was concerned was won.
Pendleton raised the money that was
asked for by the traction company
and the fact that the lines have not
been built Is due to no fault of our
people.
As far as the rromotor, Mr. Flu
gerald. is concerned it is quite well
known that the committee did not re
ly upon mere assurances from him.
The basis of the traction movement
was the fact that wealthy and Influ
ential Walla Walla men had offered

proper support. Those people were
', in earnest and agreed to sign a bond
OXE MILLION DOLLARS.
If building and construction work
now in sight for the coming year 3
carried out Pendleton will break all
N.A.-imio rurnnis alone this line. A
cool million dollars will be expended
for such work during the next H
months. Here is the list.
Branch asylum $500,000
Gravity water system 200,000
New High school 100,000
Federal building 100,000
Catholic church 50.000
Main street bridge 30,000
Sewer extensions 20,000
Total $1,000,000
Nor is this all the work that will
be done by any means. The list does
not include the work upon the Round
up grounds. It does not include any
street work at all and much street
work there assuredly will be. With
in a short time the people will be
asked to vote upon a charter change
that will be drafted with a view to
making more street improvement pos
sible. When that amendment is ad
opted, as it doubtless will be, Pen
dleton will be in position to give the
people all the street improving they
desire. Do they need any?
The million dollar list includes no
private building operations that may
te carried on during the summer. Nor
does it include any railroad work that
will be done in this section, such as
the Coyote-Echo cutoff which In It
self will cost almost a million dollars.
There will be nothing to It. If all
goes well Pendleton 's going to have
the busiest year It has ever experi
enced. With a million dollars worth
of work on hand local people may well
txpect a season of activity and pros
perity. Nor will the good times end when
the work te done. The branch asy
lum will be a continuous asset to the
city. So will the new water system
the new high school and other bet
ter merits. Because of those better
ments more people will come here to
rBide and those who are already here
will become more contented with
their lot. We will put an end to
knocking and pessimism and bring
on an era of optimism and advanoe
rnent. .

j to develop their electric power and
ttuild their lines before collecting any
'local money. They expended several
thousand dollars in their preliminary
n ork.
As to why the traction system was
not built this paper will not under
take to say. The East Oregonian was
concerned with the Pendleton end of
the bargain ana is still proud of the
f-rt that this citv met the Issue
rroperly though perhaps not as wil
lingly or as speedily as it should.
Furthermore this paper is unwilling
to believe that all that work was in
vain. Good came from that work
and more will follow.
This is written to give credit where
it Is due. Not to answer the silly at
tempt to slur this paper for its part
in the traction movement. 'The slur
came from such a source that it would
be a waste of time to notice it. ine
East Oregonian merely wishes to say
that with reference to a traction sys
tem this paper stands now exactly
where It stood a year ago. A trac
tion system is desired because It I
would be a great boon to Pendleton
If ever 'n the future a traction sys
tem is in reach of this city the East
Oregonian will give its support to se
curing such an improvement. It will
do this regardless of the sneers of
tightwads and pessimist"!, in spite of
protests from interested sources and
regardless of any Journalistic pups
that may get in the way.
IT WAS A GOOD JOB.
son Pendleton la loslnir such attrac
tions as James T. Powers in "Ha
vana," "The Midnight Sons." Blancn
King In "The Yankee Girl," "Polly
of the Circus," "A Man's World,"
"The Man on the Rox,' "Madam
Sherry," "A Gentleman from Mis
sissippi," Honeymoon Trail," etc.
That also Is the reason why Pendle
ton theatergoers journey to Walla
Walla to see such shows that could
be enjoyed nt home, had wo n cosy,
comfortable theater of proper dimen
sions. As a representative of tho North
western Theatrical association, I feel
It my duty to that association, the
New York Managers' Producing as
sociation mid the theater-going' pub
lic of Pendleton to appeal to such cit
izens that 'have the social, as well ns
the commercial Interests of our ctty
at heart. It is true that many of our
citizens who are financially nble to
erect a new theater are under the
Impression that it will cost from $30.-
000 to $40,000 for such a building,
and that It would be a losing game.
1 agree with thorn that a $40,000
theater would be a losing game, for I
do not think Pendleton could pay a
reasonable Interest on the Investment
of that imount for theatrical purops-
es. But I do know tnat a re-inrorceu
eoncrette theater building of proper
dimensions with a seating capacity
of not less than 800 can be erected
ormplete and ready to open inside of
$15,000. This Is not merely heresay,
but facts. I can mention several
towns In the northwest where recent
ly theaters have been built for that
amount: Nampa, Idaho, for instance,
has a new house such as I speak of.
Kelso and Dayton, Washington, have
comfortable ground floor theaters
that cost less than the sum I men-
tinned T am ready and willing to
furnish information relative to the
cost and equipment of the theater
buildings In these several towns.
There is no reason why Fendleton
should be set aside by the big attrac
tions in favor of Mountain Home,
Xnmra. La Grande and The Dalles
A new theater In Pendleton will not
only induce the traveling public to
remain with us over nignt at least,
but will give social enjoyment to the
residents in the smaller towns in the
county, and the many ranchers who
wish to take advantage or a cozy
comfortable theater, where the big
productions would be properly staged.
T am In rereiDt of a letter from
Mr. John Cort, general manager of
the Northwestern Theatrical associa
tlon. authorizing me to offer 6 per
cent net Interest on an Investment
uot to exceed $20,000 and that the
Northwestern Theatrical association
will assume a fifteen vear lease with
me, so that it will be absolutely safe
with the investor. we also states
with n new house In Pendleton he
will give me all the big attractions
that nlav nt the He lie theater in
Portland.
An Ideal theater location with a
Main street entrance is now avail
able on a slxtv-day option. Pendle
ton with its many improvements,
namely, the Roundup, the asylum, the
new federal building, new Main street
bridge, etc., promised for the very
near future, should also have her
share nf e-ood things theatrically. A
new theater will not only be a source
of nleasure to the local people, nut
a boost for Pendleton with the man
who travels and talks. I am

U A.k far Catalan- New ,
Governor West Is being criticised
fer activity in connection with certain
legislative measures. Most of the
roar comes directly or indirectly from
the fact that the governor made the
legislature come to time ana pass me
bill to place the state printer upon
a flat salary.
But the end in view justified and
In fact demanded the very course
that the governor pursued. For years
v, otota nrintcr'n office has been a
graft that has "smelled to heaven."
Through the fee system that has been
in effect the people of this state have
been deliberately robbed of hundreds
of thousands of dollars. At times the
state printer has made more money
out of his office than does the presi
dent of the United States from his
high position. For years it has been
recognized that the printer should be
placed upon a flat salary or else the
work let by contract. But the money
the printer has made has helped per
petuate the graft.
It took Governor West, with his
i.n..rtaTiatf onprTv and nerve, to
fcrce through this reform which poll
tioisna heve been promising since
time immortal. He did a good Job and
the people of the state will uphold
him In his course even though some
legislators did not like the whip he
used.
TOO HIGHLY IIOXOIIED.
Th East Oregonian has been too
highly honored. Seemingly this pa
ner has been given entire credit for
the hard and earnest work that was
done a year ago towards getting a
traction frystem for Pendleton and its
irimrv. That Is more
II JUiiLai jf
i,nn deserve.
vr the traction movement this
paper fought long and consistently It
true. Yet the East Oregonian oniy
jld Its duty in co-operating with many
loyal and pubUc spirited men who
nan a chance to promote the welfare
f Pendleton and the prosperity of 1U
people and strove valiantly to do so.
Conspicuous among the leaders In
the traction movement were Dr. C. J.
Smith and Judge Jamea A. Fee. They
are public spirited men and leaders
of unquestioned ability and Integrity.
The East Oregonian waa glad to work
with them for a traction system and
THE BRIDE'S MISTAKE.
They were newly married and on
their honeymoon trip. They stopped
at n. skv-scraner hotel. The bnue
groom felt a little Indisposed and the
bride said she would sup out ann ao
some shopping. In due time she re
turned and tripped blithely up to her
room, a trifle awerj Dy tne numuei
nf rlnors that looked all alike. But
.he was sure of her own and tapped
gently on the panel.
Tm back honey, let me in, sne
whispered.
No answer.
"Honev. honev. let me In!" s. te
called again, rapping louder.
Still no answer.
There was silence for several min
utes then a man's voice, cold and
full of dignity, came from the other
side nf the door.
"Madam, this is a bathroom-rnot
a beehive."
If you want to have some sport
hunt up a chronic pessimist, tell him
about the million dollars worth of
work to be done here thia year ani
hear him grunt.
First upon the program comes the
new high school. It is needed and
there should not be a dissenting vote
mralnst the bond issue. Perhaps
there wont be.
The ctty now has title to the Round
ud brounda and those who feared Mr.
Matlock would regain the tract may
cease their worry.

of the younger sons of the then Prince
of Wales was told tnat ne migm ee
his grandfather If he would promise
to be very still and quiet. The prom
ise was given pnd he was aammea to
the bedside of the king. After a short
stay he approached closer and saia.
"Grandfather, have I Deen very gouu
and quiet?"
"Yes," replied the king.
"Well then, grandfather, could I
