The rose, belated till the frost, Puts fort Its leaves one sun- ny noon, Nor counts Its little life as lost Hecause the death blight comes a goon. The robin In yon wintry wood Flinps out a free and harpy son, While Icy fetters bind the flood, And tempests gather swift and strong. Great Nature's earth, In per- feet trust, Goes out to meet the darkest night; . The kart star of the diamond dust, That thrills the vaulted hea- ven with light. Shines on. Cod-bidden, In Its place. Tho' like an angry demon's hand A cloud drifts Jn before its face, It cannot reach nor understand. Shall doubts and sorrows blind our eyes To such sweet covenant and sipn? In Strength of Faith, O Soul. arise And clasp the Hand out- stretched to thine. Selected. In the aat there has been a ten dency on the part of some people to claim that In the Doing Our Part, matter of highway lmprorements Pen dleton has been anxious to have the county spend money but was back ward about doing Its own part along this. line. The report of the city re corder, submitted last evening, will ret such claims at rest. During the past year street paving work to the extent of 33 blocks was carried on here, the expense being t9,7?5.0:. Aside from that the cit? built the substantial Matlock street "bridge at a cost of $18,761 and the East Court street bridge over the mill race at a cost of 2ZZa. In other words a total of more than $90,000 was expended by the city upon high way and bridge Improvements. "We now have a total of six and a half miles of paved street and all the strictly city bridges are first class in every respect The trunk thorough fares are improved in every direction and that old joke about the roads be ing good until you reach Pendleton is a thing of the last Is our "economy'' legislature going to live up to its promises or will the session be devoted to Is It a Raid a partisan raid for For SKI1? spoil. The question may be fairly asked In view of actions thus far. Testtrday the house refused to be gin economy at home by saving some J9000 or $10,000 be eliminated need less clerk hire. An effort was made by Rep. Scheiibel to have the ways and .means committee prepare a bud get of appropriations so that the mem bers could at an early date get a line on contemplated expeditures. The motion was turned down with the ex planation by an organization leader that the history of this session should be a history of the republican party. There are other evidences that Iartisutishlp may be carried to ex treme lengths. For Instance the new governor has demanded that the In surance commissioner resign and an nounces thut Harvey Wells, treasurer if the republican central committee during the recent campaign, will be appointed to that place. Inasmuch as the term of the Insurance commis sioner does not expire until Jan. 1817, they are "going some" in asking him to resign at this time. Why such haste? vostigittc and exploit the opporti;nl-( ties open for manufacturing In Ore-j pon ns a result of the war and the , shifting of trade centers as a conse quence of the use of the Panama ca nal. It Is a businesslike proposal because there Is a field here for the develop ment of manufacturing. It would bo worth while to have an agency that could point out these possibilities and thu work for the establishment of new industries In various parts of tho state. If such work as that Is done Pendleton will get Its share, because there are raw products here await ing manufacture.
