A CHANCE IX)K SKHYICE.
There are local attorneys who say
that under its police powers the city
has authority to require that the el
ectric light and telephone wires be
placed underground.
Then why not insist that this im
provement be made by both com
janies during the present year? it
Would add vastly to the appearance
Of the streets in the business section
tc have the overhead wires and the
poles removed. The cluster light.-;
Could then be installed at regular in
tervals, and llieir effect would be
wliat it should be.
To remove the overhead wires
would mean to safeguard the live
Ot firemen and of other citizens. In
times of fire the overhead electric
wires become a menace to human
life. It is a danger many do not re
alize but if the wires are allowed to
remain one of these days some poor
fireman will lose his life and then
there will be a loud outcry for the
temoval of the wires. In. Portland
the authorities did not realize the
danger of the oil tanks until after
r:-. '. Chief Campbell had been sacri
ficed. 0oiv they are demanding that
lae tank.s be taken outside the city.
If the wires are to go underground
in Pendleton now is the time for ac
tion Much street work has been or
dered and some of it is to be In the
business section. The companies
t-hould be required to place their wires
underground in tables before the
paving is done. The wires on Main
and Court streets should have gone
ur. Ici ground in cables before the
paved. But it is not too late to cor
rect the mistake. If necessary to
hove the lines along Main and Court
tr-'-t th; cables may be placed un-1-r
the .oncrete gutters or under the
fidewallw.
Unless the East Oregonlan Is

Jh' ne and electric companies place
their wires und'-rground. It ii a

JIST AS PATRIOTIC.
Pendleton had a safe and sane
1
(fourth of July celebration yesterday
land reports from over the state in-
'dicate similar celebrations were held
1 .
elsewhere. The agitation for a sen
sible celebration of independence day
has been so effective that practically
no fire crackers were used this time
despite the fact that the law against
their use is not yet In effect.
After July 15, 1912, it will be un
lawful for any dealer to sell or for
anyone to discharge a firecracker
that is iver two and one-half inches
ir length, those who do so become
subject to a fine of from $25 to $50
This law was enact", 1 by the last
legislature and Senator Burgess of
tl.ii roiintv was author of the bill. )
It Is needless to say that the idea
of a saf? and sane fourth appeals to
most people. It is nonsensical to
make the day one of noice and of
make the day one of noise and of
exploding cannon crackers add noth
ing to the patriotism of the day. On
the contrary It has made many peo
ple wish the fourth would not come
so often.
