Watrhin' the uhlte clouds sail-
In' 'round the blue.
World is like a picture where
the angels smile at you;
Southwind a-wavin' the blos

While the corn Is Just a

Green fields and bright fields
Where the toilers soon'll reap,
And birds in the branches
To sing my soul to sleep.
O the breath of blossom
woods where lldflowers
throng!
O that life were dreaming
dreams a whole life long:
Toiling and toiling in a world
so bright
Sometimes think that Paradise

Hills, plains and valleys
Fair in heaven's sight,
On a bed of blossoms

TAKE THEM AT THEIR
WORD
Nan advertisement for the
II American Telephone &
Telegraph Co. appearing
in a recent issue of Life the fol
lowing statement has been
noted :
"More than half of the wire
mileage of the Bell System is
underground out of the way of
storms. The expense of under
ground conduits and cables is
warranted for the important
trunk lines with numerous
wires and for the lines in the
congested districts which serve
a large number of people."
Since this expense is so meri
torious, according to the adver
tisement of the company, why
not invite this corporation to
place its wires in cables under
ground, at least on Main
street? Why not invite the el
ectric company to do the same
thing? Then place cluster
light poles at regular intervals
along the street. It would be
a nice step forward for Pen
dleton. OF SPLENDID SERVICE

ed this country by driving the
new banking and currency leg
islation through congress. They
!iarp about hard times and try
to fasten blame for war condi
tions upon the administration,
but they never explain the sad
plight the country would have
been in had it not been for the
new currency legislation.
If Henry Clews, New York
financial writer, may be relied
upon, the new banking law has
been of splendid usefulness and
is now one of the chief causes
of improving conditions. The
following is from the Clews
review of April 17:
Had It not been for the war. ther
Is no doubt that thJs country would
today have been enjoying a period of
marked recuperation and prosperity
The next Important source of 1m
provement, also a comparatively si
lent one, is the working of the new
federal reserve system. This Is hnv
ing a helpful effect upon business and
credit operations. Onr banking sys
tem is now upon a sound basis and
In a position to meet all emergen
cies. Funds are plentiful to good
borrowers, and If interest rates are
high. It is not due to home condi
tions, but to forces abroad beyond
our control. The Vnlted States Is
now the only free capital market In
the world. Foreign nations are com
ing to us for financial assistance;
and considering adverse conditions,
the amount of new capital issues In
this country is surprisingly large
and demonstrates our healthful re
cuperative abilities. For the satis
factory monetary conditions at home
and the confidence thus Inspired the
new federal reserve system Is very
largely responsible.
The foregoing is from a man
who speaks from the viewpoint
of big business and who has
never been friendly toward the
progressive forces with which
the president is associated. He
evidently does not overstate the
case for the new banking law.
THE VALUE OF HARMONY
Tff N an attempt to explain
11 the joker resolution passed
by the legislature in ref
erence to the Southern Pacific
land grant case the Oregonian
wails about "reservation." It
does not want the government
to win the suit against the rail
road company because the land
would be taken from use. The
fact the land has been held in
cold storage for a half century
by the railroad company does
not bother the Portland paper
in the least. It is only when
public resources become con
served in the interests of the
people that the Oregonian wor
ries. The exnlanation made
by the Oregonian makes it per
fectly clear why the resolution
was rushed throueh. It was a
treat stroke of business and
shows the value from the
Southern Pacific standpooint
of a nolicv of harmony around
the state house.
CURRENT THINKING
ACTION WITHOUT
PARALLEL
(From the Portland Journal.)
Does Oregon want the Southern
Pacific railroad to win over the peo
pie in the suit for forfeiture of the
railroad (frant lands?
I Or does Oregon want the people
to win?
It has remained for the Oregon
itate senate to take the side of the
Southern Pacific and array itself
against the government In that great
suit. It passed a resolution which is
a request to the United States su
treme court to decide the case ln fa
vor of the Southern Pacific. Here
Is the vital section ln the resolution:
"Whereas, it is of vital importance
to the development of the entira
state of Oregon and the several coun
ties in which said granted lands are
located, that such lands should not
be withdrawn from taxation, but that
they should be disposed of for settle
ment and development under the
terms of the original grant."
It seems unbelievable that a branch
of state legislature could have taken
such action. The resolution requests
that a decree be rendered tinder
which the lands will be disposed of
"under the terms of the original
grant." That is a request for them
to be disposed of by the railroad
company. That is a request for the
supreme court to hand down a decree
for the railroad to sell them, as pro
vided In the original grant, and, In
turn that means that the decree
should be against forfeiture.
The house refused to agree to the
resolution. But, at 2 o'clock on Sun
day morning of the last session, at a
time when house members were oc
cupled with other legislation, the
me. lire with an amendment was
slipped through.
Hut the department of Justice t
Washington, which is handling the
people's side of the suit, is "amazed
at the amended measure, for even s
amended, the measure demands terms
that can only be granted by deciding
the case in favor of the railroad.
Again, The Journal asks, do the
people of Oregon want the Southern
Pacific railroad to win this suit? Is
the request of the Oregon legislature
for the supreme court to hand down
a decree favorable to the railroad,
the request of the people of Oregon?
The total amount of lands remain
ing In the grant Is I 300,000 acres,
north an estimated 150.000.000. tt.l Temple pass her, traveling north on

Troops Move on Straits.
BERLIN'. April 21. A cablegram
received here from Athens says that
unusual activity prevails at the Port
of Mudros on Lemnos Island in the
Aegean Sea off the entrance to the
Dardanelles Straits. Almost all the
French troops on the island have been
sent away on transports. A total of
35. Oon Hritlsh and French soldiers
were landed at Mudros last week.
It is reported that the operations
asainst the Dardanelles are about to
be resumed.

3 Boys on Hike Suffer.
MOXROE, Ore., April 21. Three
youngsters, two of them aged 9 and
one 13 years, started out this week on
a hike to the San Francisco fair. They
made camp Just east of this place and
were discovered by an officer while
cooking a stolen chicken for breaw
fast. The boys were without arms
or supplies, and were nearly exhaust
ed when arrested.
They were returned to Corvallia.
where it was found that two of them
had been paroled from the state re
form school. The two were returned
yesterday to the Salem Institution.

swerved toward the east, she said,
evidently to avoid the vudim tnd-

caused him to make such a wide
turn into Lee street.
Doss Turner, who lives at the cor
ner of Court and Lee and who oper
ated the wagons standing along the
west curb, told of their position on
the evening of the accident. He tes
tified that he did not note any change
in the position of the first wagon on
the following morning. By this tes
timony, the defendant sought to re
fute testimony of the plaintiff's wit
nesses to the effect that the car
struck the wagon with such force as
to move it noticeably.
Temple Star Witness.
The testimony of Ernest Temple,
local merchant, that he drove his car
north on the west side of the street
Just a few minutes before the Thomp
son car passed was the first strong
point scored by the defendant and
It is bound to play an Important part
In the pleadings. Much of the plain
tiff's case rests upon the testimony
relative to auto tracks running along
the east side of the street and Tern
pie's statements, corroborated to
some extent by Mrs. and Miss Grigs-
by, were submitted as a counter to
show that it is possible that the
plaintiff's witnesses saw the tracks of
the Temple car. Mr. Temple stated
that he had left home with his little
boy right after supper, gone down
town and returned by way of Court
and Lee streets for his family. He
stopped on Lee street at the rear of
his residence and had Just stepped
out and entered the yard, he said,
when he noticed the Thompson car
pass on the other side of the street
He was going to his garage to get
some cylinder oil, he testified, but
before he reached the garage he had
his attention directed to the accident
by Mrs. Grigsby, Counsel for the
plaintiff sought to make him admit
that his remembrance of passing up
Lee street on this particular Incident
was not perfectly clear but might
perhaps have been Imagined because
of a habit he has of driving home
that route. Temple was positive,
however. When court adjourned last
evening at 5:45, Temple was still on
the stand and the cross-examination
was not concluded untjll this morn
ing. Hoy Wan Warned.
That be warned the boy that he
might et hurt not more than a min
ute before the accident was the sub
stance of the testimony yesterday aft
ernoon of Dr. D. C. McNabb, who
lives on East Court and Stonewall
Ja:kson streets. The boy, riding
through the frame of his father's bi
cycle and pursuing a wobbly course
down the street, passed his place, he
said, nnd he called to him as fol-
j lows, "l'ou had better get off the
street or you'll get hurt." He said
he saw the boy turn the corner into
Lee street and soon afterward heard
of the collision and hastened to the
scene.
Grant Eldon, J. A. Yandell and
Charles Patterson, former neighbors
of the Twitchells, were called to tes
tify that the boy frequently played in
the street and was familiar with the
traffic on It. They also testified as
to his habit of riding through the
frame of his father's wheel.
Declares Auto Running Slow.
John Gagen of Toppenlsh, who was,
living on Lee street not far from the
scene of the accident last July, test!

noted that It was running extremely
slow, so slow, in fact, he said, that
he could have walked as fast He
also noted that It was on the right

wagons and the auto provoked a
clash of the attorneys. Judge Ben
nett and Judge Fee objected strenu
ously when Mr. Gagen was asked to
designate on the map where he saw
the wagons and autos. The fact
that drawings were sketched there
to represent the location of the ve
hicles was held to be leading and
suggestive by the plaintiff's attorneys
and Judge Phelps upheld their ob
jection, ruling the map out until the
drawings could be erased.
Boy's Mentality Affected.
The plaintiff rested Its case yes
terday afternoon shortly after 4
o'clock and much ot its concluding
testimony had to do with the effects
of the accident upon the boy. Mra,
Twltchell, his mother, testified that
the Injury to his head had Impaired
his mentality, stating that before the
accident he was reading In the third
reader and that after it, It was ne
cessary to teach hlra the alphabet
again.
Dr. R. E. Rlngo of this city and
Dr. C. J. Smith of Portland testified
as to the Injury and Its effects. They
explained that the skull had been
fractured at the base. Both thought
it probable that the effects bodily and
mentally would be permanent though
they qualified their statements by
saying that only time could tell.
Two more witnesses, D. B. Waffle
?nJ Mrs. Boyd, testified yesterday
aUernoon to noticing auto tn k on
V k pavement on the east side of the
street Just after the accident and
also of noting the diagonal tracks
which were heavier and apparently
made by the wheels skidding after)
brakes had been applied. Mrs. Boydj
