It is the antcdoluvian plan and was
used by Father Noah on his famous
ciuise. Each man may have a light
in front of his place If he will pay
f r it. Some have them and some
dou"t. As a result one block may be
n 11 lighted while another is dark. A
man who buys a lamp may get any
thing he wants if he will dig up. He
can have five globes or three. He
can have bright Mghts or dim. He

And Mister Mockingbird. I knew
was fixln' for to sing;
And so, I penned an anthem to
the beauty of the day.
When a blizzard, 1 ke a hurri
cane, swept all my lines
away!
(That's the way of life, you

Pleasure never comes.
But just when he feels most
at home
Trouble beats his drums!)
And then I sang of blizzards
rude, when lo! the earth's
surprise.
The blizzard blew himself away
and sunshine lit the skies!
All the world was beautiful, and
the kind heavens of blue
Were beaming just as brightly
as your sweetheart looks
at you!
(That's the way with life, you

Shadows still, and gleams;
Violets and then the snow

J vidualistic idea prevails-to the limit.
Vhere Is no uniformity about the plan
itnd never will be until the system is
changed.
Our system Is based on the divine
right of the electric trust and the tele
phone trust to keep their wooden poles
and overhead wires on the business
streets. It is a right exercised
tl rough long control of our city gov
ernment by the public sen-Ice corpor
ations. Whether such control is to be
continued under the administration
tbat will take office January 1 re
mains to be seen.
Pasco, being a new town is not
troubled with fuedal rights such as
obtain here. Therein Pasco Is more
fortunate than Pendleton and the ap
pearance of that town will so show
when the municipal cluster lights are
U'rned on over there this week.

Pasco is going to be up-to-date.
IT MIST BE UTII.IZKB.
In the fight over the endorsement
of the West Umatilla Extension peo
ple In this vicinity have had a needed
lesson as to the value of water. The
entire struggle arose over the question
as to who should get something that
has heretofore been allowed to go to
waste. It is safe to say that all con
cerned understand the Importance of
water and of water rights better than
they did two weoks ago. ;
It was brought out-. clearly during
the controversy that no matter what
happens the water rights in this sec
tion as elsewhere in the state are to
be accurately determined. Such rights
are not to bo left In the present hazy
sjtate but they will be adjudicated un
til some day a man's water right will
be as clearly defined as is his title to
bis land. This should be donebecnuse
In dry sections water rights are of
irore importance than land titles.
Another fact people should bear In
mind Is that the mere filing upon va
tcr does not mean the end of things
The filing itself does not give title. The
essential thing- Is that the water be put
ti beneficlnl use. At this time some
local farmers hesitate to file upon wa
ter because It has all been filed upon
land they imagine it is gone. But It W
I not gone un'il it has been utilized and
I very little water has been utilized as
yet. Filings are but options upon the
water and more often than not they
are allowed to lapse.
r armors upon such streams as
Birch and McKay creeks who want
vater should proceed to file upon
what they need. They should ilo this
even though the government has thf
water appropriated for the West Ex
tension. The Extension may never be
built and in that event the water goes
to the next succeeding applicants, this
regardless of whether those applicants
be rich or poor, good, bad or red head
ed. But if the Extension should be
built there may be water to spare. If
not at fir-t there will unquestionably
be water to spare after the desert has
once been reclaimed. ..
The settlement of the problem, of
the utilization of the waters of the
Umatilla river and tributary streams
is not yet complete. That Is a mat
ter that will not be completed until
the water has all been put to bene
ficial use.
Meanwhile people who need water
should act accordingly.

Main street, next door to Tallman & Co.
'Tans In a gilden restaurant,
Where people came to eat,
A Southerner, all grim and gaunt,
Stepped in on eager feet.
He sat down and ordered food.
And suddenly and soon
The orchestra' in joyful mood
Struck up that "Dixie" tune.
There came a tumult of applause;
The southerner was glad
He felt his honor to h's Cause
And could no more be sad,
"Hurrah! Hurrah" the diners cried,
Anl straightway dropped their r's:
It seemed as though with valiant
pride
They'd how their battle scars.
The southerner then asked of one
, Who almost broke his dish "
Applaud'nar: "Whah ah you from,
son?"
He said: "South Haven. Mich."
Another came from old. South Bend,
And one who cheered with glee
From Southport, Maine, had come;
his friend
Was ra'sed out in. S. D.
A man from South Chicago yelled
The wildest of wild cheers,
Until the folks about him held
Their hands upon their ears;
Another man whose voice was loud.
Whose hands gave b'.ow on blow
In the applause that led the crowd
Was from South Charleston. O.
The southerner looker; all around
And pursed his grim old mouth
And said: "I'm glad that I have
found
So many from the south."
He seeks every he goes
When "Dixie's" played they stamp
the!r feet
And cheer It through their nose.

AITEIl WEST, NOT HIS IOLICY.
J
Enemies of Governor West hve
taken advantage of his absence from
the state to attack his prison policy
anew. The Oregonlan has had much
to say about two Mexicans whom it
Massed as "honor men" and who
were re-arrested at San Diego, Califor
nia not long ago.
But it comes to light that the Mexi
cans were not honor men at all. They
: were serving Indeterminate sentences
i and were released under the regular
j operations of the law. The following
statement as to the case has been mado
i by R. A. Watson, private secretary to
; the governor:
"The statement that they were as-
sured a full pardon is false In every
i sense of the word. They were told
that if they returned to their own
I country they would be relieved from
! regular reports to the superintendent,
a they would be out of the jurisdic
tion of this state. Their minimum
time had expired and they were en
titled to parole under the state law.
The prison records verify this."
People should pay no heed to criti
cisms such papers as the Oregonlan
make of Governor West's prison pol
icy. They are not fighting his prison
policy. They are fighting the gover
nor because they don't like his po
litical and economic views. He stands
for the public welfare and such offi
cials do not please the men and the
newspapers that unhold the cause of
Toryism and Plutocracy.

Uncle Sam seems to be getting
grouchy toward Russia all at once
If the treaty has been In effect since
1S32 why should Congressman Sulzer
ar.d his friends become so hasty about
abrogating It?
There is no profit in throwing
rrcks at one another. Better to put
them Into the walls of a permanent
fair building.
There is a city ordinance requiring
that people keep snow cleaned off the
walks in front of their premises. It
should be obeyed and enforced upon
those who do not obey It.
At least government officials, Includ
ing the president, have learned there
is such a city as Pendleton.

IS TRIPOM WORTH TAKIXG?
The county Itself agriculturally sus
tains about four fod harvests out of
ten, and the prertit productive soil
of the vlayet of Tripoli is about two
fifths of Its 410,000 square miles a
narrow strip along the littoral. Here
Arabs, Berbers and Bedouins culti
vate cereals, vegetables and fruit
trees, raise sheep, camels, goats and
donkeys.
The total average annual com
merce amounts to about $4,000,000.
Of the Import trade which is afcout
half, Great Britain generally leads
with Manchester goods, etc, the rest
Is shared mainly by Germany, France
Italy, Turkey, Tunisia, Malta and
Kypt.
Thus It will be seen that as the en
tire commerce of Tripoli amounts to
about $1,000,000, a mere bagatelle of
EFFICIENCY IN THE SOUTH.
According to Prof. Edwin Minis In
the December World's Work, the south
has given the lie to all who still
call her shiftless and down at the
heel.
The cotton ml'.ls. for Instance,
though they are fewer, perhaps, than
those in New England, are not infer
ior in quality.
Take, for instance, the recently es
tablished Republic Mill at Oreat Falls,
S. ('. On March 1, 19tt. the mill be
gan operation with 680 looms, and
25.200 sp'nd'es the looms are the

Don't Neglect a Cold, Stop it:
in the bneczmg Stage.
Use Ely's Cream Balm.
A cold -generally nttacks tbo weakest
part, affecting the eyes and ears iu some
and producing nasal catarrh anil tbrmit
troubles in others. A cold is dno to an in
flammation of the membrane linini; the iiir
passages, and may be promptly cured with
a little Ely's Cream Halm, which immedi
ately relieves the inflummatiou and all the
distressing symptoms, such as sneezing,
coughing, running at the nose anil eyes,
hoarseness, sore throat, fever and head
ache. One reason why this pure, antisi p
tio Balm acts so quickly is because it is ap
plied directly to the tender, sore surfaces.
Even in severe, chronic cases of catarrh,
Ely's Cream Balin never fails to ntiii kly
and effectually check the poisonous dig. I
charge which clogs the bead and throat,
causing the disgusting hawking, spitting
and blowing of the nose. This remedy net ;
only drives out the rottenness, but heals
and strengthens the weakened and diseased
membranes, thus ending catarrh for all
time.
Catarrh is a filthy, disgusting disease.
Don't pnt up with it another dy. (iet a
50 cent bottle of Elv's Cream Balm from I
your druggist to-day; or, if y'Ur ao
requires spraying i f the nose, thront or
