I asked her father for her hand And all he said was. "HuhT" I tried to make him understand The dreamful life that we had planned, But though I talked to beat the band He only answered: "Pooh!"

If this comes about It will be the finest thing that has happened to Pendleton in years. The freight di vision will mean 400 or 500 new people in . Pendleton and a substantial in crease in the local payroll. It is the sort of growth Pendleton need. Comisg on the heels of the Eastern Oregon State Hospital the freight di vision will help greatly in taking Pen dleton forward. After it has been ob tained our basket of resources . will till be far from empty. Before many days that Pilot Rock branch is going to be extended southward and a saw Kill will in all probability be built here. There is also prospect for ir rigation close to Pendleton, particu larly on the reservation and such de velopment would mean a lot to the city. There is no occasion for pessimism ir Pendleton. On the other band the situation is very encouraging and by working together with a view to pro moting the welfare of the town the people may do much toward improv ing the possibilities of growth. The Americanism of Lincoln was the subject of the following splendid edi torial in the Chicago The Fount of News on the anniver AoaericanLsm. sary of Lincoln's birth: On the birthday of Abraham Lin coln it is not out of place to inquire from what source that great, sincere, open minded man drew his political principles. If the hundreds of thou sands of Americans who revere his memory could discover where Lin coln learned the rights and duties of the citizen in his relations to his fel U'Ws and to his country, it is reason able to think that they would go there for guidance. Well, there ne-d be no doubt as to the source of Lincoln's political prin ciples, for Lincoln himself gave ex plicit testimony on this subject. In kia speech in Independence hall. Phil adelphia. Feb. 22, 1IC1. he said: "All the political sentiments I entertain have been drawn, so far as J have been able to draw them, from the senti ments which originated in and were riven to the world from this hall. 1 have never had a feeling, politically, that did not spring from the senti ments embodied in the declaration of Independence." Lincoln said also on this occasion that he had frequently asked himself "what great principle or idea it was that kept this confederacy so long to gether." As he spoke secession was rife and the union of states seemed to be crumbling. But he told his audi tors what, in his opinion, whs th force that had hold the nation to gether ever since the day of Wash ington. It was. he said "that senti ment in the declaration of Independ ence which gave liberty not alone to the people of this country,-but hope to all the world for all future time. It was that." said Lincoln, then facing his great task of preserving the union, "which gave promise that in due tinn the weights would be lifted from he shoulders of all men and that all should have an equal chance." There is the underlying sentiment that has made this nation great. Lin coln the patriot drew his inspiration from this sentiment. Lincoln him self added to its force and vitality. For the American must now read both the declaration of independence and the speech at Gettysburg to get all that is finest in the underlying idea upon which are laid the firm foun dations of the republic. Portland also is having a water con troversy Just now and the point in volved is as Is Portland Also tonlshing. It is Conscience Stricken? the question of whether met ers should be installed. Evidently Portland is still following the old time village plan of making users pay a flat rate for water regardless of how much water is used. This seems am azing in view of Portland's progress In other respects. Pendleton long ago adopted the meter system. It i the only fair method of assessing water charges. Why there should be spirit ed opposition to the plan in Portland is unaccountable save on the assump tion that the heavy users of water are very well pleased with the flat rate plan and dislike the notion of being forced to pay charges proportionate to the amount of water used. They would rather have the small house keeper bear the burden of expense vrhne the big fellows get the chief benefits. To be logical they should demand that milkmen sell milk at so much per customer without reference to the quantity of milk used. They should demand that the gas and elec trie companies do likewise with their product. If the city should sell its product without measuring It why should not private concerns be re- uired to do the same thing? Portland is either slow on the sub ject of economics or else as In Pen dleton there are men there with such exquisitely tender consciences they cannot bear to see anyone force the hog of privilege to take its feet from the trough.

HOUSECEEPE 1 ust be Watchful For great efforts are being made in this vicinity to sell baking powders of inferior class, made from alum acids and lime phosphates, both undesir able to those who require high-grade cream of tartar baking powder to make clean and healthful food. The official Government tests have shown Royal ' Baking Powder to be a pure, healthful, grape cream of tartar baking powder, of highest strength, and care should be taken to prevent the substitution of any other brand in its place. Royal Baking Powder costs only a fair price per pound, and ischeaper and better at its price than any other baking powder in the world. more sensible. The narrow skirt but not too narrow that clears the floor Is infinitely more sensible than the long, full skirt of the past; the high tight collar with its attendant head aches has gone; the small hat, set well down on the head, is a real bless ing; the very high heel is very bad style; cosmetics are not worn by wo men of good taste; fashion even frowns on false hair a restful change after the heavy beratted pompadour; and, best of all, woman's figure Is no longer compressed into a resies of ug ly bulges, and the steel stiffened cor set of days past has become a flexible piece of webbing that supports but not bind. When these sensible present-day fashions are exaggerated and distorted they become ugly and ri diculous, it is true. But no woman is forced to wear them in an exaggerated and distorted form save by her own lack of Judgment and her own indif ference to comfort and good taste. "As for the fabrics they were never so wonderful. The supple, light woolens, and the splendid glow ing silks of winter have given way to the most alluring of cotton and linen stuffs, promise of the summer. The lighter silks, too, have come in a thousand new designs, each one seem ingly more lovely than the last. What excuse, therefore, for a woman not to be tastefully dressed not neces sarily expensively, but with due re gard to color, line, and individuality? Indeed, there is none. And though she may not admit it save laughingly to herself, there is no woman who does not realize that to be well dress ed is to give herself a delightfully pleasant feeling of well-being and confidence. A becoming costume Is a wonderful tonic to the tire dspirlt and the sensation of looking at one's best is a definite help to be at one's best." COMPUMKNTAKY TO SMITH.
