And it'i roam, roam, when you hear the Red Gods call ing Where the summer seas are breaking on the sands; Where the gold weaves through the sunsets and the pur ple mists are falling, With your roaming, roving kin from all the lands.

And it's roam, roam. when you hear the Red Gods calling, Where the camp-fire spins i;s sr.ioke in curling strands. And the desert lies before you cool and silent in the moonlight With the wanderlust accurs ed of all the lands. By R. L. McKee in Sunset. LAFFERTY SHOULD GO. Discussing Congressman Lafferty nd the unenviable notoriety he is now receiving the Journal says: "In his official explanation, Mr. Lafferty s-ays, 'the father of the young lady called, and after expressing sur prise at seeing such a youthful rep resentative, stated that he had sup posed that I was some elderly Indi vidual, and had imagined that the letter was written in bad faith. He lfft my office apparently in the best of humor, and I have not seen him f'om that day to this "The father says: 'When I called and confronted him with his letter, Lafferty told me with much wring ing of his hands and pleas for con sideration that he did not write the letter, but that it had been written by one of the young men In his of fice. He said he would write me a letter of apology if I stayed in his of fice while he wrote.' "Lafferty thereupon wrote the let ter of apology in which he said: "The letter which was sent from my office to your daughter was not writ ten with my knowledge or consent, but prepared by others in my office.' "The letter to the girl was in Laf ftrty's own handwriting, and in his official explanation, after formerly trying to attribute it to others, he ad mits that he wrote it "After these incidents, the father wrote Lafferty, saying: 'I do not 1 care to have you visit me at any time or any place, etc' Tn his explana tion, Laffi-rty says this letter was part of a conspiracy by his enemies m Portland and was written on "Mount Mood paper, sold by J. K. Gill, Portland.' It was in fact writ ten r,n Mount Holly paper and by the father, who has given a copy of It tr the public. "In his official explanation Laf- ferty says E. D. Baldwin wanted the ! seeking to acquire title by condem Drlce of his return to Oregon for sn. I nation proceedings, I visited the lo Baldwin denies, and which Lafferty himself now admits to be untrue. P, H.

Lafferty Is an improper man for Oregon to have In fingi-oss. The people of this state do not sanction Insults to little girls. Lafferty should resign or he should be ousted under the recall. He was elected under the Oregon system. It is now jp to the people of this dist rict to show that under the Oregon .system the people may Quickly get rid of a public servant when he proves himself unworthy. mom: houses needed. Though the influx of people for the fall and winter has not yet started there are practically no vacant houses i'i Pendleton at this time. There are a few houses to be had it is true, but most of them are shacks and unfit for living purposes. The time is at hand when more houses are needed here for residence purposes. New houses erected In de sirable portions of the city and built along modern lines may be rented with ease. At least this is a reason able assumption in view of the pres ent situation. The call seems to be particularly for medium priced houses and for apartments. Regarding the latter it has been a source of surprise to many people that a few up-to-date apart ment houses have not been construct- in Pendleton ere this. For years there has been a demand for flats or apartments. There are many peo ple who desire rooms close in and provided with .the conveniences that go with the apartment houses of a city. The people who desire such rooms are willing to pay the price and they make desirable tenants. Parties having money to invest in houses to rent will do well to look over the situation in Pendleton. WHO IS CORRECT? In a communication from Mr. James Johns, published on this page today, some very startling things are said regarding the Thorn Hollow springs. ; i Mr. Johns correct in what he says 'about the supply of water at Thorn (Hollow? If he is then people have been greviously misinformed by mem bers of the water board and by their engineer. They declare that the sup ply at Thorn Hollow is several times greater than the present supply of the city. It will be interesting to learn who is right in the matter. There are ways of ascertaining ex actly how much water the springs produce. Meanwhile it might be well for the water commission to call Mr. Johns as a witness' in its suit to con demn the springs. Under his view of the matter the property cannot b very valuable and the city should b : able to acquire the springs for i song. AX UNFINISHED JOB. At the present time our cluster light system is in a peculiar shape. Some blocks are lighted while others are r.ot. One side of a block will be well illuminated while across the street there may not be a glimmer of light. It is a patched up arrangement and Is a source of wonder and of inquiry on the part of visitors. They ask when the thing is to be finished. Yet the present situation is a nat ural outcome of the policy of allow ing the electric trust and the tele phone trust to keep their poles on the business streets. Pendleton will never have a decent cluster light system until the poles are taken away. It is silly for the electric company to sell cluster light poles until they first remove the unsightly wooden poles. It Is almost a certainty that Pen dleton people will have an oppor tunity to vote on the commission form of government this fall. Meanwhile local people should be investigating the matter with a view to noting the merits of that plan as compared with the present councllmanic system. The Astor wedding seems to have aroused more Indignation than such affairs usually do. One would al most think it has been a rare thing for wealth to marry beauty in this country. Meanwhile the city is using wa ter that Is not always the best in quality and Is frequently lacking In quality. 'TIIK THORN HOLLOW SPRINGS. I To the Editor: For the purpose of looking over the proposed site for the source of the city wat-?r supply which the city is cality In company with several other 1, - IIIK.IIK.II ...-. ..J. A. V..... .. '.,-.. . ow ns land upon which there is spring I water enough to supply the city of ! Prmdleton, then she has a very vafu- able property and she should bo paid j fof df;prlWl, of ,ts USP. But our surprise we found very little water. There are two springs or Places where the water comes to the iy other springs. In the distance of j possibly one-half mile. At that point I am satisfied all the water would flow through a box six inches square. In other word's I do not believe all the water now flowing from all the springs at Thorn Hollow including Squaw creek, if delivered In a wood en pipe would reach Pendleton. It would not wet a wooden pipe for that distance. I can conceive of no rea son for the city to condemn this property. If they get water at Thorn Hollow they will huve to take it -from the river. If they take it from the river, why go to so much expense? W-;,- re; y only :;,.: o:,- half the distance? Or why not in crease our present system to meet the demands? We are told it would save expense of power which is $3600.00 annually. What will be the interest on the bonds? $200,000.(10 at 5 per cent looks like $10,000.00 per annum for . interest besides the upkeep of such a system. Now I voted for the bonds and am heartily in favor of pure water and claim it Is cheap at any price, but I am not in favor of spending $200, 000.00 and find that we have no bet ter water than we have now. When we spend such a large sum I want to see something its equivalent as an asset. I do not believe there is a man in Pendleton who if he owned the whole city would .think of spend ing such a sum for what he will ggt in return, when it Is plain the same results can be obtained with a much less outlay.- In other words if the water commission were spending their own money they would seek a better investment than laying eighteen miles of wooden pipe to bring in the same water we have now. According to an interview with one of the com 'misfion in your paper of this even ing, we conclude that they do not consider the system complete till they reach North Pork and take the sup ply from that .'.ream. If that is the case why conJ ...-. j..!s Indian wo man's property at great expense? Why not take the water direct from the liver as wKl have to be don? wheth er tne city acquires t!u Indian wo man's land or not. I wish the citi zens, taxpayers and people most vi tally interested in the city and its welfare would make a trip to this pro posed source of water for this city and if they do not find coruwilons as I have described them I will pay for the automobile or the railroad fare. JAMES JOHNS, Pendleton, Aug. S, 1911. A GRAND STOVE A woman who moved to Phi ladelphia found she could not be con tented with a colored mammy who had been her servant for many years. She sent for mammy, and the servant arrived in due season. It so happened that the Georgia woman had to leave town the very day that she had just time to expla'n to mam my the modern conviences with which her apartment was furnished with. The gas stove was the convenience which interested the colored woman most. After the mistress of the household had lighted the oven, the boiler, and the other burners and felt certain the old servant under stood its operations, the mistress hurried to her train. She was tbsent two weeks and one of her first questions to mammy was how she had worried along. "De fines' ever," was the rep'.y. "And dat air gas stove oh my! Why, do you know. Miss Flo'ence, dat fire ain't gon out yit." WISE WORKMEN. An industrial commission appoint ed by congress was conducting cer tain Investigations with reference to the operation of mills and factories In various parts of the country, and the members became especially in terested in the working of one mill in a southwestern state. The Investigators were In one room when the whistle blew for noon. The operatives put up their tools and van ished as If by magic. "Do all the workmen drop their tools the instant the whistle blows " asked one of the commission. "So, not all, answered the man who was acting as guide. "The more orderly have their tools all put away before that time." Lippincott's. $5000 Cat C'atclies Snake. Mount Holly, N. J. Hereafter Mrs. John W. Hillyard, of Rancocas, will have a very uncomfortable feeling every time her $5000 Angora cat goes out for fresh air and gets beyond her sight. Mrs. Hillyard was sitting in her home Wednesday when she heard the mewing of the cat at the door. There awaiting admittance was the $5000 bunch of fur with a four-foot live snake very securely held In its mouth. Mrs. Hillyard managed to dispatch the 3nake without injuring the cat. Kitty will have a guardian if it continues this dangerous practice. MUST HAVE LOOKED HAD. "What a strangely interesting face your friend, the poet, has," gurgled the maiden of 40. "It seems to pos sess all the elements of happiness and sorrow, each struggling for suprem acy." "Yes, he looks to me like a man who was married and didn't know it," growled the cynical bachelor.

There is mourning in Poverty Hollow among a thousand kids that go swimming in East river, off Corlear's Hook. For Gamo, the plucky little water spaniel that used to "go In" with them and was always on hand to pull them out In case of accident or cramps, is dead.
