The night may be dark, and the
road may be long.
But a star through the shad
ows I see;
Still the rude winds of the
world sing a song;
"My sweetheart Is dreaming
of me:-'
That is the dream
Which in blessing Is given,
Making the world
Like an echo of Heaven'.
Oh, the gardens of Life are not
lost to the gleam.
Though winter is wild in the
skies;
When summer has faded afar,
like a dream,
Still summer shines bright in
her eyes.
That is the joy
Which in all thincs I seel
In rales of Love's lilies
he's waiting for me.

of what may happen 'to the West Ex- ally I w ill never ned but little more
tension. It was made very clear last j
night that while the adjudication
suits have a bearing upon the exten
sion the two things come in separate
categories and should be so consider
ed when action is taken by the club.
It is evident that the water rights of
the entire state are to be determined
and made as exact as land titles.
This being the case it stands out
pretty plainly that even should the
extension be killed it might not help
upper river settlers in the slightest.
They would still be forced to prove
their rights before the state water
board and to compete with the Uma
tilla project and other lower users
for water.
Under all the circumstances the
East Oregonian will adhere to Its po
s'tion that the local club should con
tinue Its endorsement of the project
extension with the qualification
that the government should fully
protect upper river water users In
their rights and welfare and should
make the extension secondary to such
irrigation.
By taking such action as this the
Pendleton club will be standing for
the development of eastern Oregon
and for the greatest good to the peo
ple at large yet at the same time
will make known the fact that it is
the sentiment of Pendleton that the
welfare of the settlers on the upper
riv.r should have first consideration
SHOP KAIU.V.
There Is sound reason for the agi
tation for early Christmas shopping.
It is for the benefit of the shoppers
us well as the store people.
It is not merely a plea for the shops
and the tired, overworked salespeople
!ehind the counters, but an appeal
to the Interests of the shoppers them
relves, who will benefit by going
early, thus securing the pick of fresh
goods, the advantage of a larger and
more beautiful variety from which to
Kelect, and the comfort of not being
rushed at the crowded counters of
the stores.
The purely selfish side of the ques
tion is perhaps the one that will have
the most effect, for we are so con
Mituted that a majority of us do not
tare particularly how much trouble
we give the other fellow, how a delay
to the lie vent h hour congests busi
ness in the stores and how every ex
tra Wt rf union thrust on the pa
tient shoiM-rs of the young men and
j-oung wotnwn viO -at-r to our newl?
in the stores adds the final straw that
breaks down their abundant supplies
of f,od nature and over-taxed energy.

K'l tor East Oregonian:
N'o. Dear Editor, we were nor
asleep. We have engaged lawyers to
resist the government's attempt to cut
us don n to two and one-half acre
feet on land we hi.e had under ditch
for years. We do not object to the
government using any surplus water
which they may need for any project,
water than I am now using, so nae
t Uiltrtl imrir.-i in ...it.. -
the surplus water. nut l an snow
there are thousands of acres tributary
to Birch and McKay creeks that can
be irrigated if dams were built to
hold flood waters of these creeks.
One year ago last August some of the
settlers along West B'rch creek had
Mr. Whistler, formerly of the recla
mation service, survey a p'te for a
dam. His estimate was that it would
cost $500,000, which you will see
placed It bevond the private means
of settlers along the creek. I also
understand the people of McKay creek
had Mr. Whistler survey and estimate
for tem with about the same results.
Whether these estimates had some
thing to do with the lower Umatilla
proiect I do not know but they cer
tainly look suspiciously high. Now,
all I wanted you to do was to call at
tention to the fact that dams should
hu'lt somewhere at the head of
these creeks so water could be used
along the tributaries of the Umatilla
and not taken from se'tlers in need
ft same. As Is well known all creeks
drv un during the summer months
and unless reservoirs can bebullt to
hold the spring fresr-- :t will never
pay to take out large ditches for one
or two floodings. and then have the
creeks dry and the crops burn up. If
after due investigation the government
finds it not feasible to build these
dams alom? the upper Umatilla and
its tributaries, then let them allow us
sufficient water to properly Irrigate
what land is now and has been for
years under di'ch and take the bal
ance wherever they wish, that Is If
they can not help us. We do not wl1i
them to rob us. Hoping I have made
myse'f plain and that yon can find
space to publish this, and then criti
cize wherever you th'nk I am at falilt,
I remain
Tours truly,

SONNETS OP WINTER.
The street car lags behind a load of
coal
The Christmas shopper fails to shut
tho door; .
Old settlers are informing.! once
more
That all the slfcns are bad; the fishing
pole
Is put away; the weary duffer's soul
No more is tried by bankers; sad
and sore
He tells his foolish troubles o'er
and o'er
While being helped to play the nine
teenth hole.
r
The usele s hammock in tho att:c
lies,
No fielder strives to catch the bat
ted ball;
No busy housewife makes complaint
or sighs i
Jlecause ' the iceman cuts the
chunks so small;
The implements with which we swat
ted flies
Have ceased to be of any use at all.

Within the elevated car the air
Congeals upon t.e whiskers of old
men;
The cab horse shivers at the, curb,
tnd when
we rlv.sr the plumber up he
isn't
there;
The thin bookkeeper on his lofty-
chair,
With fingers that are stiffened
wields the pen;
A lineman on a tall pole, now and
then
Receives a thousand volts, but doesn't
care.
The newsboy at the corner
has to
dance
To keep the blood from clogging
in nis veins;
The Johnny at the stage door Peeks a
cnance
To tell the .'tar how constant he re
mains; The masher at the crossing craves a
glance,
And then decides it isn't worth the
pains.

The wind is wild upon the lonely hill.
The hrown hare leaves its footprints
in the snow;
The hedges, full of song awhile ago.
Are leafless now and strangely sad
ly still;
Beneath the ice the murmur of the
rill
Has dwindle' to a whisper soft
and low,
And. with a look betraying inward
woe.
The farmer's wife consumes the
quinine pill.
All huddled in a group behind the
shed
The cows have turned their backs
against the storm;
The rural mail man's jocund air has
fled,
His feet are freezing, but his words
are warm.
The school ma'am sucks her fingers,
which are read.
Forgetting that It l--n't proper form.
A Good Digestion

something good work or pleasant
times. Whoever lias distress after
eating, sick headaches, nausea,
bad taste, unpleasant breath, can
not find guixl in anything, or be of
much use in the world.
But these symptoms are only
signs that the stomach needs a little
care and attention and the aid that
can give. Safe, reliable, thoroughly
tried, this f.:t:iiiy remedy has won
derful re, ;. iug x)wer. They tone
the stoM.'ich, liver and bowels all
organs of digestion. With these
organs in good order, the whole
system is better and stronger.

Fppdergrass, Ga. Mrs. Delia Long,
of this place, in a recent letter, Bays:
"For Ave or six years, I suffered agon
ies with womanly troubles.
Often, I couldn't sit up more than a
few minutes at a time, and It I stood
on my feet long, I would faint
I took Cardul, and It helped me Im
mediately. Now, I can do my work all
the time, and don't suffer like I did."
Take Cardul when you feel 111 In any
way weak, tired, miserable, or under
the weather. Cardul Is a strength
building tonlo medicine for women.
It has been found to rellere pain and
distress caused by womanly troubles,
and is an excellent medicine to have on

tution, building up womanly strength,
toning up the nerves, and regulating
the womanly organs.
Its half century of success is due to
merit. It has done good to thousands.
Will you try it? It may be Just what
you need. Ask your druggist about
