I will build n-e a hut by the River of Time, And will sing as the days drift by. Of the goodness of God, of his love and the clime Of that realm w here no shad- ows lie. For my spirit in bloom. Death will build me no tomb, Nor cease shall the seraphim strain, As I feast at the banquet of glories that loom And build Immortality's fane. I will build me a hut of the love of the Lord, And of all things my Lord hath made Of unspeakable joy, and trans- porting accord With rapture, that never shall fade. Revelations . sublime, by the River of Time, My hungering heart shall ln- due My soul all aqulver with love on the river, Its voyage of praise shall pur- sue. Philetus Smith. J TI1ERE WITH THE GOODS." It is fine news that the water com missioners are going to hold an elec tion to vote bonds for a gravity water system as soon as the necessary legal steps can be taken. It is good news that the city administration is to ex tend the sewer system, build a new Main street bridge and prepare the way for extensive street improvements. It is fine to know that the people will have an opportunity to vote for a new high school March 23. Ail of these improvements are needed. They have been needed for a long time. The work proposed should really have been done regard less of the branch asylum. But now that such an "institution has been placed here the work is made imper ative. Pendleton cannot have the branch asylum unless the city is will ing to provide the institution with au ample supply of pure water. The in stitution will not be built unless the sewer is extended so as to protect the health of the inmates. The need of a new bridge and of street work further emphasized by the coming of the branch hospital. It is up to the city to provide decent thoroughfares leading to the big institution. With the location of the branch asylum adjoining this city and with the state board ready to commence operations this place confronts a sit uation. By the action of the water beard and of the city administration Pendleton has grasped the situation firmly and with both hands, so as to speak. This city is saying to the re mainder of the state, "You have giv en us a valuable institution and we appreciate It We are going to do what is right by the state and by the branch hospital. We will not wait to be 'muck raked" or driven to do our duty. We will act quickly and of our own accord." Another feature that is satisfactory Just now is the fact that the building and construction work to be done here soon will make things lively. With a million dollars worth of local work in Bight Pendleton'ans have a right to cheer up and be glad. Get Into the harness and pull for a bigger and better Pendleton. Raus with the scoffer and the peusimlst. It Is all off with them. You cannot keep a good town down. IT IS XOT BUSINESSLIKE. It is up to the county court to give the people of the county the very best service possible In every way. The county court is a business commission not a political organization. The members were not elected to play pol itics or to work to further personal ends. The taxpayers expect the judge nd the commissioners to give them an efficient yet economical adminis tration. But tbe court will not be giving the pecple the beat possible service for the least possible expense if they re- sort to the old plan of having mem bers of the court supervise road work in their respective sections. The East Oregonlan Is confident of this because it remembers the former ex perience with that system. This pa per remembers the complaints it . 1 .. I . .4., I,.. .. . . . V. . ......

It as freely charged that they were swelling their personal accounts but loiwere doing the county but little good. .50 I iuere are reasons for believing that the charges were largely justified. In preference to that way of sup ervising road work the plan of Judge Maloney to have three roadmasters do the work sounds businesslike. The roadmasters would bo practical men .and would be "right upon the job." I They could drive the work through land get it done when it should be ! i!one. That is half the battle when it comes to road work in this country. The roadmasters would be paid only for such time as thev worked and if they did not give good service the court could discharge them any time. What the commissioners are goiii; tu do about this matter the East Ore- gonlan does not know. But this pa per does know that they will satisfy the people better if they forego the I lan of supervising the roads them selves. The people dislike that sys- Urn and are suspicious of it. IT MCST BE DONE. Returning from California W. E. Brock declares he is more favorable than ever to the plan for erecting a new high school. He says the im provement must be made if this city ' expects to be classed as a good town jand as a place that does its duty by its young people. j Unquestionably Mr. Brock is right j Pendleton cannot afford to be parsi- monous with respects to its schools. This Is a solid, substantial little city and one of the wealthiest places of its size in the west. But it has never spent much money on school build ings. The present high school has been in use for many years and has long been out of date and inadequate. The three grade schools erected six years ago were built at a total cost of $60,000. There are many people who now regret the city did not spend $100,000 then Instead of $60,000. The schools could have been better built and the Lincoln school could have been completed. On March 23 the people of the city will have an opportunity to vote for a new high school and by so doing make up for some past neglect along this line. XO CRITICISM JUSTIFIED. The Oregonlan, unable to make Governor West do things It would Ilk to have him do, resorts to criticism of that official and of Treasurer Kay. It sneers at them because they are go ing to build the branch asylum on land purchased by the former acting governor. However the present board is not using the building site proposed by Bowerman who expected to have the building erected on the hMl land. The buildings will go uson the bottom land as recommended by the legislative committee. There can be no Just criticism of the state board for what it is now doing. Es pecially so since it seems the board has no choice other than to use the Oliver land. The refusal of the senate to oust Lorimer after it has been shown that he was elected through bribery Indi cates there may be other members who are there under similar circum stances. The weather may be moderat'ng yet a slight chilliness is still notice able of nights. Towns are built; they dp not grow. FROM FRANK RACK. Walnfright Alberta, Can., Feb. 28. (Editor East Oregonlan) About two years ago In a letter to the E. O. I called the attention of your read ers to what a fine market they could have If 'there was no tariff wall be tween the U. S. and Canada in regard to all kinds of fruit and early vege tables here in Alberta and Saskatche wan and the editor of the E. O. com mended my letter to the readers for consideration. But to my surprise and disappointment I see by your pa per that the Oregon legislature in structed by an almost unanimous res olution, the Oregon delegation In con gress to oppose the Canadian recip rocity agreement This would be con sidered in this country a vote of want of confidence In the government. Now It Is my humble opinion that Mr. Taft deserves better treatment from the people of Oregon. It is only a few months ago that Umatilla county and Portland begged the president to not turn the went Umatilla extension down and Mr. Taft reconsidered and order ed the U. 8. engineers .to make sur veys and they are now actually on the ground. But when Mr. Taft Is looking for new markets In order that the settlers on those projects may be able to pay the government the mil lions back you are trying to tie his hands and your legislature Instructs yonr congressmen to vote against the most Important statesmanlike act of his whole term of office. This lm- portant agreement the people of both countries have long called for. The agreement when ratified, will go down In the history of North America, as one of the most beneficial for both countries and will make Mr. Win. Taft and Sir Willfred Laurier, the greatest statesmen of the age. Where does Oregon get hurt by this agreement. Not by free wheat, for I get as much for my wheat here as I could in Pen dleton. Not by free lumber for we have to pay here $30 per M. for R. C. lumber and J2T for Washington lum ber. Good farm laborers get higher pay here $40 per month. I paid $2.50 for a 50 lb. box of apples and $1.25 for 10 p unds of prunes. There will be 20 million people up here in 23 years in the two provinces, and you mn have the chance to furnish them with fruit and early vegetable;'and if this reciprocity agreement falls through you are locked out forever. Your truly. FRANK RACK. THE sn.!.KXGIRI.. m The girl who thinks it a fine thing tiucultivate a meloncholy or sullen spirit is missing her way in life and owes It to herself to try to find the right pathway as quickly as possible. ullenness is a distinctly unattrac tive trait, and the girl who is dis posed to acquire it should make every effort to throw it off. it will bring her no friends and it will drive those she has from her. The girl who ex pects to get on in the world should cultivate a sunny disposition and an attractive manner. There is a certain type of girl who thinks it Is a show of fine feeling to pout at everything in which mother opposes her and to make a showing of sullen resentment every time she is crossed In anything. If such girls could only see themselves as others see them what a change would come over them, for no girl would want to L appear as repellant as the actions or this type of girl paint her. The world always has a welcome for the girl with the shining face and the cheerful voice. It has no welcome for the girl of beclouded brow and doleful voice. It Is a rule of nature that most things run away from the gloomy and doleful. The cheerful girl goes through life winning friends by her good natu.e and holding them because she Is worth it. In winter time we love ne fire for its glow and sparkle. In this old world of ours we love the sunshine, the bright flowers, the bril liantly plumed and sweet-voiced birds and w-e worship the girl who Is win some and good natured. She has a place in every heart and none can displace her. She may pass out of the range of our mortal vision, but she becomes enshrined among our sweetest memories, and so lives on forever. One must pity the girl who Is so short-sighted as to barter her smiles for frowns; her cheerfulness for trie clouds of discontent, and the sweet sympathy and love of others for her own gloomy thoughts. It is as If one gave up the sunshine and the beauty of a great summer day to live in a dark, damp cellar. The world needs all the smiles Its people can give it, al especially those of its young people. It's a weary oifl place, but the cheerfulness pf young people keeps It youthful and happy and bright. And it is fortunate that for every girl who tries to be sullen and melancholy there are a hundred who are happy sprites, perpetuating youth and sending its glow over all the world. So, little girl, make your own sun shine and make the sunshine for oth ers while you may. The stern reali ties of mature life will soon enough bring the thoughtful brow and tae wearied brain. Enjoy life while you may, so that if the latter portion of it be not so care free the remembrance of the other happy days will keep your little corner bright and you from becoming a crabbed and sour woman. Selected. RE REFUSED TO ANSWER. A lady of ebony complexion was be ing tried before a South Carolina jus tice of the peace, charged with exces sive cruelty to a child. The evidence was conclusively against her, but be fore passing sentence, the judge asK- ed her if she had anything to say! "Kin Ah ask yo' honah a ques tion?" she replied. "Yes." replied the Judge, "go ahead." "Well, then, yo honah," she asked with the air of giving him a pover, "Ah'd like to ask yo' whether yo' was ever the parent of a pufflckly wutn less culled chile " LET US SMILE.

Willis, Mich., writes: "Hood's Sarsaparilla has been a house hold remedy In our home as long as I can remember. I have taken It in the spring for several years. It has no equal for cleansing the blood and ex pelling the humors that accumulate during the winter. Being a farmer and exposed to bad weather, my sys tem Is often affected, and I often take Hood's Sarsaparilla with good results.' Hood's Sarsaparilla Is Peculiar to Itself.

An artist In Chicago tells of a lady In that town, who, with her maid, went to purchase a still-life picture for her dining room. She selected a canvas on which were painted a bunch of flowers, a pie cut In two, and a roll, and was about to pay twenty-five dollars for It when her maid approached to wis per in her ear. "Excuse me, ma'am," said the ser vant, "but you are making a bad bar gain. I saw a picture very much like this sold the other day for fifteen dollars." The woman who Is worthy of your wedding ring should be enUtl ed to more than your name. GIVE. HER A HOME If there Is one thing In the world that will make woman content ed, industrious, ambitious and happy it Is to have her own little home; it need not be an expensive mansion so long as it is all her own.
