The East Oregonian is willing to bet that the Pacific Power & Light company did not hurt Itself seriously when It made its recent local rate re ductions and that the Philadelphia or New York multimillionaires who own the electric trust are not losing any sleep over the matter. It is not likely that the cost of placing the electric wires underground will drive those gentlemen into poor houses. Tet even If It should it might be better to do that than to send some gallant Pen dleton fireman to an early grave. On thj progress of tholr move to get the overhead wires underground in the business section the ladies of the civic club and Mr. Strain, their councilmanic champion, are entitled to congratulations. It is good work. Keep it up and drive it through to the finish. THE FIRST SKIRMISH WOX. In the opening skirmish of the fight to have the overhead wires placed underground in the business section the ladies of the civic club and others who champion this im provement won out. The action of the council last eve ning was all that could be desired. The proposition was referred to the ordinance committee, of which Mr. Strain is chairman, and the commit tee is authorized to prepare an or dinance calling for the removal of the wires if the committee sees fit ' to do s-.i. In other words th; move ir. in frir-ndly hands and will get a hearing -jpn l:s merits. Xo on could ask fur anything more.'

With the adoption of the commis sion plan of government by Walla Walla and with the new plan already in operation at Baker the subject is being brought close home. It will be well for local people to think earnest ly upon this subject during the In terval between this time and the city election. There are some splendid points In favor of the commission plan. In orief thj commission plan calls for placing ruthority and responsibility up -n a yery few men and for paying ih-se men reasonable compensation !' r the work they do. At this time Pendleton requires Its most Important public servants to work for nothing. We ask a man to be mayor, to do a vast amount of work, bear much responsibility and suffer much headache without get ting a cent of pay. Many good men won't ta'ke the job under such con ditions. We also Insist that our councilmen work for nothing, and incidentally we generally have trouble finding desirable men to run for the council. At this time Pendleton Is spending or is preparing to spend several hun dred thousand dollars in civic im provements. Grant that our offici als are honest and fairly capable. the question may still be asked with propriety: is the city getting value received for its money? It is' hard work to spend money and do it right. Will volunteer ser vants do as well as paid employes? Can a mayor and eight councilmen, drawing no pay. get "down to business ts thoroughly and do as well by the people as could a paid commission of three members? ' Some will object that the commis sion plan places too much power in the hani-j of a few men. Yet I'ma tilla county has its business conduct ed by a paid commission of three men and the county spends nearly a half million dollars each year or has been j doing so. Friends of the commission idea say lit is alright to give much power to a few irrun if those men are well j chosen, are kept in the light so peo- pie ' may watch them work, and If I they may be recalled if untrue to jtheii trusts. We have the recall In I Oregon f-nd likewise the Initiative and 'ef rendum.

The unusual drouth that prevailed in the South Atlantic states for a month or more has been broken in time to benefit all crops and place the cotton outlook In normal position in that section of the belt. At differ ent points in Georgia and Alabama the rainfall has been reported as plentiful and in good time for the cotton, which had begun to deterior ate considerably in some, places. At this writing a general breaking of the drouth in Texas has not occurred and plentiful rains now would be too late for a good part ot the corn crop in Central and Xorth Texas, where . I', has suffered most. But there Is ample time In both sections for a record cotton crop; and the heavy ' rains . reported recently from Denton and the Panhandle country and scat-! tered showers elsewhere are an en couraging feature of the Texas pros- i pect, though far from what could be wished at this critical period. It is generally conceded that the corn crop of the state will be short of normal, ! but there has been a fair yield of oats in the central and southwest sec- !

The people didn't merely look at Professor Branefog they stared. Ha knew he was absent-minded nt times, and he wondered whether he had rub bed his face with boot-polish instead of cold cream after he had shaved, or whether he had foigotten to change his dessing gown for his frock coat. But a kind policeman put things right. "Are you aware, sir, that you are carrying a joint of beef in your arms he asked. "Goodness me!" said the professor. "I knew something was wrong.. My wife told me to put her Sunday hat on the bed. to place this Joint in the oven and to take the baby and the dog out for a walk." "You've not put the baby in the oven, surely?" said the law's guardian.

Band conceits would afford very pleasant entertainment here for sum mer evenlnes and there are a host i fi people wiio will hope tiiat the ; Hound-up band may succeed in its cause why they should not get their i plan for giving weekly concerts. The band is now more active and In bet ter shape than it has been for many months. Xf it can secure the director the musicians have in mind it should be possible to give concerts well worth listening to. I Pendleton needs a good band all wires underground and by so doing protect the lives of our firemen and add to the good appearance of our business street?. Councilman Montgomery says it is inconsistent for the city to ask that the electric wires be placed under ground irr mediately after a reduction In rates has been granted But hla contention Is too vague. Along with that declaration Mr. Montgomery thould have presented a sworn state ment showing the physical valuation cf the Pendleton electric plant and the gross and net profits of the cor poration from its Pendleton busi ness. Then people could Judge ''of the matter with some intelligence, though even sworn statements from corporations are at times unreliable as Pendleton people have already learnej from experience with the Pa cific telephone company. At present who knows but the el ect rlc company could make still fur ther reductions in local rates and still make good profits on Its local plant? The Commercial club Is In vestigating that subject and may soon have some Interesting; Information to I the time and the best way to have one Is to provide for summer band concerts.

We sincerely trust that the forego ing lias no sound f s -icrllee, for It is submitted, not in irreverence, but as a reasonable indl' ation of what may be expected of congressmen who, in suppositious speeches, insert the word "applause" after such a sentence I as, "Jesus was born In a manger, ' John the Baptist was fed on locusts ' and wild honey." ; Verily, brethren,- as one contem plates thi; matter does It not appear i that the dear people select some par- : tlcularly rjueer people as congressional i timber?
