I like to see thee tread where
others pause,
A pioneer where pioneers are
few,
Fearle.-s and dauntless in a holy
cause,
A man of purpose, cowerless,
and true.
Too long the pulpit and too Ions
the cross
Have sought to foil and cru
cify the world;
Beneath hate's ban and super
stition's dress
Their tongued anathemas
curses hurled.
Thou are a man; a free-born
son of truth.
And loyal to the cause
human weal;
Thy faith brooks not a world
of crime and ruth,
Which only might can end
and death repeal.
But with the fervor of the ear
nest soul.
By force of truth and by con
viction's creed.
Thou epeakest the words that
never ceasing roll.
To yield the harvest of the
righteous seed.
Keep up the faith! with never
faltering tread.
Plant thy firm feet in free
dom's rock secure;
There thy full soul, fixed on the
Btars ahead.
In nobler luster, endless,
shall endure.
William Hoffman.
There are great possibilities open
tr- the Indian Brotherho.nl of which
the Umatilla reservation branch is
now duly organized and which made
honorary members of a dozen or
mere white men yesterday.
The general purposes of the broth
erhood are to protect the Indians in
their rights afid to advance their wel
fare. The Indians need an honest
cr.d ablv conducted organization to
guard their rights. The rights of the
rcdmen have often been shamefully
.50 imposed upon largely because the In
dians in themselves have been Ignor
ant and helpless.
If the head officials of the Indian
Brotherhood are inspired by a sincere
desire to aid their fellow redmen and
are willing to serve them zealously
and without thought of self interest
much may be accomplished. They
might be able to do much for the
Umatlllas Just now by urging the gov
ernment to proceed with more vigor
and earnestness upon the task of es
tablishing the rlshts of the Indians
down on the old wardrobe, smashing j
it to smithereens. "Gone!" yelled the',
auctioneer. "Gone to General Grant j
for $1000."' Philadelphia Record
FAIR EXCHANGE.
t" water upon their allotments.
The Brotherhood may also accom
plish good by encouraging among the
Indians, especially among the young
er members, a spirit of industry and
a desire to advance. White men do
not stand still and do as their grand
fathers did. They are constantly im
proving themselves and bettering
their conditions. The redmen must
do the same or perish from the face
of the earth.
Kind o'tired an' hurried;
Kind o' lost his grip;
A feller sat and worried
An' watched the minutes slip.
Says, "I think I'm gettin"
A deal I don't deserve."
He jes' kep' on a-frettin'
Cause he'd simply lost his nerve,
Like a disappointed kid,
So he did.
Snowbird came a-hoppin ,
On the window sill.
Mongst the snowflakes droppin'
From the cky so still,
So he did.
He didn't have no cover.
Nor no cozy place to eat.
But he didn't chirp an' hover
In discouragement complete.
He looked mighty bo'd lnstid.
So he did.
An' the feller saw that sparrow
An' he chucked him out some
srumbs'
On the window ledge so narrow, j
An' thought he. "That's how luck ;
comes," I
So he did.
"That sparrow sort o'trusted.
Though much forse off than me.
Just present I am busted.
But, the same as him. I'll see
Luck step out from where it's hid "

THE NEW OFFICERS.
Upon the shoulders of President
elect J. F. Robinson and the members
of the new managing board will soon
devolve the task of handling the pro
motion and development work in be
half of the -city. It is work of im
portance to Pendleton and to Uma
tilla county. How it will be conducted
depends very much upon the presi
dent and other officials of the club.
The Commercial club is usually just
about what the officers make it. The
membership is always loyal, earnest
and eager to work whenever the
chosen leaders point out something
good that can be done and arrange
the work In such manner that prac
tical results can be obtained.
The manner In which the presi
dency of the club came to Mr. Rob
inson makes it an honor indeed for
him. He did not seek the place at all.
The position sought him and his elec
tion was due to the fact he is person
ally popular and is known as a very
loyal and aggressive worker for the
organization. Older members of the
club still recall with pride the time
when "Jack" Robinson was secretary
of the club and made things go.
Therefore they were glad to see him
p'aced at the head and so were the
young men.
In taking office Mr. Robinson will
follow a popular and aggressive presi
dent and he will get the benefit of
much that was done during the past
year. The membership Is about
double what It was a year ago and the
club has a paid secretary an official
that is very much needed in any live
organization. The fact that the club
has a paid secretary is due to the
good work of President Smythe who
made that reform one of the first
tMngs upon his T.rogram.
With enthusiastic support from the
membership and with good councel
and aid from the excellent managing
board selected last night Mr. Robin
sen will be able to accomplish a world
o' good for Pendleton. There Is al
ways plenty to do. ,

A SERVANT, NOT A MASTER.
Public service corporations shoull
be public servants; not masters. They
are supposed to serve the public not
to rule and the result of the Com
mercial club election last night indi
cates the members of that body take
this view. However, the fight was
close and it should be a warning to
those who do not want to see the con
trol of affairs go too strongly into the
hands of such concerns as the light
and power trust.
Of course Dr. Smith had opposition
from other sources than from the
electric camp. If such had not been
the case he would have had an eas
ier victory. But the fact that the
most open and active work against
him was handled by Dr. Vincent,
manager ror the Pacific Power &
Light company Is very significant. It
indicates that concern not only has
a desire to handle its own end of af
fairs the selling end but It wants
to dip in and handle the buying end
also. It has no business on that side
of the fence and should be kent wih.
in its proper territory.
THE OLDEST JOKE.
La Follette intimates that he may
withdraw from the race but wont do
so unless the colonel rnmoa tn tv.a
front and allows the progressives to
look him over again.
This Is the open season in the north
west for wildcat concerns of all sorts
and there are indications it is time.

why not use the hammers in fitting
up more suitable quarters?
MISSING TREASURE.
What is said to be the most ancient
joke is re'ated In one of the Berlin
papyri of the sixth Egyptian dynasty
about 3200 years anterior to the
Christian era and la to this effect:
According to the papyrus a certain
scribe who worked in the Temple of
Thoth occupied apartments where his
neighbors on either side were a cop
persmith and a carpenter. These
honest artisans were industrious work
men and made such a nols all day
and most of the night that the poor
scribe was almost driven mad. At
length iy a Btroke of craftiness he
buttonholed each neighbor separate? j
ly and bribed him to change his j
lodtrines. which thpv did with each !
other.

Most great cities are. Extravagance

cities will be conducted along busi

A QUEER COAL MINE.
What is perhaps the most extraor
dinary coal mine in the world, as
well as the smallest, is situated on
tiny island in the Japan Sea, near
Nagasaki, and has just sufficient
room upon its surface for the shafts
and the hoisting machinery- The
workings, which are very extensive,
extend in all directions under the
sea. Wide World.

Louis Francis Brown returned the
other day from a trip through New
England, Bays the New York corres
pondent of the Cincinnati Times Star.
On this voyage he had a number of
interesting adventures. One night,
for example, he was sitting in the box
office of a theater in a' small New
England town, chatting with the tick
et seller. They were M friends. By
and by a Yankee framed his face in
the ticket window. "Hey, mister,"
said the caller, "did you find a
satchel in. the opera house after the
ow last night?"
The box office man did not know
whether a satchel had been found,
but promised to inquire. In the
meantime, he wished to be told what,
if any, distingu'shfng marks it pos
sessed, and all dips, spurs and angles.
Aw," said the Yankee, "it was Just
a common old Boston bag. You'll see
a dozen of 'em on the street any day.
finely they were all made by the
same man. It had brown cloth sides
and black leather ends and either
one handle or two. I can't tell you
any more about it."
The box office man promised to
set an Inquiry on foot at once and the
lankee turned away. Then he came
back. He seemed apologetic. "I
really wlsht you would find that bag,"
he said. "You see, maw left the top
set of her false teeth In it and she
feels she really ought to wear 'em
when she goes to the church social
tonight."
END OF THE BIDDING.
Governor Mann of Virginia, who
possesses a fine stock of Civil War
stories, told the following recently at
a dinner of the New Jersey society in
the Union league. "When the Union
army was bombarding Petersburg a
number of cool headed citizens were
watching an auction sale that was go
ing on at the corner of two streets.
Among the objects for sale was an
old fashioned wardrobe, bids for
which had reached the sum of $999.
That may seem like an extravagant
price to you, but you must remember
that this occurred during the war,
when prices were high. I know on
one occasion I paid $240 for break
fast. Well, to continue with' my
story, the auctioneer receiving no
higher bid for the wardrobe, cried:
'Nine hundred and ninety-nine, once,
999, twice'; and -was about to knock
down the furniture for that sum when
suddenly a Yankee shell crashed
