calling through it all.
And it'i roam, roam, when you

breaking on the sands;
Where the gold weaves through
the sunsets and the pur

With your roaming, roving kin
from all the lands.

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

himself now admits to be untrue. P,

The Ian suggestion of the Journal
is particularly good. 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. Phila

Fox took his family to Rye beach

some toy balloons. The balloons gave
him an idea and when he arrived
home he poured a quantity of citron
ella in one of them, blew it up and
placed it on n pillow. Then he dark
ened the room. It wasn't long before
the mosquitoes discovered the balloon
and thinking it was Fox. started bor
