that arose from the side street prop

least. It is too much to expect the
side street people to pay 50 per cent
of the co.n of paving East Alta street.
It is true though, as one councilman
said last evening, that no plan for
paving can be devised that will be

lit river is not new. There are many
people and some 'of them on the city
water commission who look on the
north fork as their final goal. It
seems to offer far and away the best
source of supply for Pendleton.
There is much water in the north
fork, it is above Wenaha springs and
beyond all possible contamination.
The water is colder than the water
in the south fork of the river. It
would be a splendid thing for the
sity to obtain water from that source.
An engineer, in the employ of the
ater board, has already reported it
would be feasible to construct an el
ectric system in connection with a
water system. Power could be gen
erated at a station between this city
and the mountains and the surplus
water turned back into the river.
It only remains to be seen whether
or not the people would make money
and improve conditions by installing
an electric plant. It is the belief of
the F.ast Oregonlan that a municipal
plant would pay for itself without
difficulty i.nd would give the people
better service than they are now get
ting at lower rates. Furthermore a
power plant would be an asset that
wouid stir.d to increase in value
pratly as the years t-o by. It would
make Pendleton fr-e from the clutch
es of the present electric combine or
any suii r j u,-t.i ;ru-ts that may be
formed.
Why n--t art on the surgestlon just
made? Pendleton people were never
in a better moo i than now for con
sidering plans f'.r a municipal elec
tric plant.
for lights than ever before. What
good are explanations if the bills are
bigger. They are what count.
The electric company also takes a
narrow and a selfish stand in refer
ence to placing its wires underground.
It objects to doing so even though
their poles spoil the appearance of
our business streets and though the
wires are dangerous to people in times
of fire.
All these things arouse feeling
against the electric company and It Is
feeling that Is very likely to result in
the establishment of a municipal el
ectric plant.
If the electrl? company does not
wish to see a municipal electric plant
installed It. will be well for the com
pany to thow a greater consideration
for the wishes and the Interests of
the people of Pendleton and do that
without further haggling and delay.

The world in general will sympa
thize with Anna Langley and will say
that the San Francisco court which
released her upon $100 bail knows
something about justice. She shot and
killed her husband because he was
such a worthless brute he was unfit
to live. He would not work and said
his hands were not made for toll.
His wife was forced to support the
family by working as a stenographer.
Despite this her spouse did not ap
preciate her and would get drunk and
cast abuse upon her. He continued
to do so until he had driven her fran-
l tic and in her desperation she shot
him. It is not surprising she did and
the only regret rrfany will feel is-that
she did not shoot him with a cannon.
Pl'ISLIC AID TO MINISTERS.
Justice Hughes Raises Question at
Postal Inquiry. .
New York Whether the United
States government should tax the gen
eral public for the support of super
annuated ministers of the Methodist
church was, in effect, the question
raised by Justice Hughes of the su
preme court of the United States, as
head of the commission which heard
reports of publishing houses protest
against the proposed increase of pos
ta' rates.
E. R. Graham, who appeared for
the Methodist book concern, argued
that the proposed increase would ne
cessitate the suspension of many
church publications, the profits of
which go to superannuated ministers
and their widows and children.
"Well," suggested Chairman Hughes
after some leading- questions, "jio you
think that the superannuated minis
ters of the Methodist church should
be supported by the United States "
Mr. Graham, reflecting none of the
humor of the Justice, replied: "It
would not be a bad Idea to do so, It
would help some."
ooooooooooooo
The Picific Power & Light com
rany collects $50,000 annually from
Pendleton. Most of that money goes i
away and never comes back. Howl
much better It would be could local
people have that money or a portion
j thereof applied In paying out on a
municipal electric plant.
i:ST ALTA PAYING.
At th" council meeting last even
ing ,-nother stride was taken towards
the pavin-j of Alta stveit from Main
to the In'.'-rs'-ction wi'h East Court.
Th- r.-ni ii"tra.ii'.-e filed by residents
of the East Alta street district was
rejected and Instructions given the!
city attorney to draft an ordinance
calling for bids on the paving of the
street in question.
This does not mean that the pav
ing of East Alta street is yet assured
The council will have the right to re
ject any or all bids and if the pav
ing companies are too high with their
figure no doubt all will be rejected.
They sho'ild be turned down if they
arc found excessive.
The council nlso has some work to
to la the way of equalizing the a-
sesement for the East Alta paving, j

I'lUHESMEN TO MOURN
CHIEF AT POTLATCH
Spokane, Wash. Captain John
McA. Webster, superintendent of the
Colville Indian reservation, announc
ed in Spokane that there will be a
great potlateh at Daisy, Wash., the
middle of August, when tribesmen
will mourn the passing of Chief Barn
aby, who for years was the represen
tative of his people before the pres
ident of the United States at Wash
ington, D. C. At the potlach he
crowning incidents of Chief Barnaby's
life will be recited., after which his
possessions will be distributed among
his friends. BaVnaby was 75 years of
age at the Ime of his death and Is
survived by a son of 16 years. His
most notable speech was before Presi
dent Roosevelt and Indian officials
five years ago, to intercede for the
payment of $1,500,000 due on land
sales. He adopted the ways of the
white man years ago, and the sermon
at his bier was delivered by Father
Caldl, a traveling field missionary
The body rests in an elaborate casket
'.n the Colville Indian burial ground.
