WAKE UP
rr T is a fact that people have
Jl not generally taken suffi
cient interest in the annu
al school elections in Pendleton.
Usually only a handful of peo
ple vote; it being rare that
more than SO or 40 people go
to the polls.
Yet the school department in
Pendleton is of the utmost im
portance to the city. The
schools require more money
for their maintenance than
does the regular city govern-j more certain will it be that the
ment The public schools of i event will be assured as an an

reputation depends upon the
reputation of its schools D:
cause they come here more for
school purposes than anything
else.
At the election Monday let
there be a good turn out even
if there should be only one can
didate for director. If the peo
ple want Mr. Strain to be di
rector let them go to the polls
and vote for him. If they don't
want him then elect someone
else. Don't leave the election
to 20 or 25 people and then
complain if the result does not
please you.
WHERE MONEYIS LOST
HE Portland Journal is
iQj throwing some light on
the operations of bridge
contractors and in the course of
an editorial last evening said:
"Oregon taxpayers have
been manv times robbed in
bridge building. Bridge steel
has, through the unfamiliarity
of county courts' with such
things, been sold for county
bridges at more than double its
value.
"Juggled specifications that
give favorite bidders an advan
tage and prevent real compe
tition are a secret method by
which county courts are im
posed upon and taxpayers
mulced. The practice not only
extends to bridges but to other
forms of public work, and in
the aggregate, it has cost the
public a heavy price."
The charge is absolutely
true and the subject is one to
which sufficient thought and
attention have not been given.
The Journal is engaged in a
trood line of work.
THE PRJCEOF WHEAT
zfw' HE S p o k esman-Review
takes the view that the
price of wheat while de
pressed on account of high
ocean charges must rise again
because of the inevitable de
mand in Europe. The follow
ing extract from the Spokane
paper is of interest:
Helntively low price for wheat, as
compared with prices lust fall and
wlnter, are due to an lty of ship: diet. It was appealed to the circuit

SIZING I P THE SCOTCH.
Two Scotsmen were staying at the
commercial hotel in a Welsh town,
when they discovered that the wash
stand in their room was innocent of
soap. They rang the bell and the at
tendant arrived to ajsk what thej
wanted. ,
".Sen up sape. lad; a wee bit sape,
quick: ' said one. The attendant gaz
ed at the two men of strange tongues
and muttered to himself:
"They're not French, nor Dutch,
nor Russian. What can they want?"
One of the Scots grew impatient.
"MonV he thundered, "can ye no
understand plain Scotch?"
The attendant promptly withdrew
t.nd returned with a bottle of High
land dew and two glasses.
LONDON" WITHOUT A SEASON'.
(Manchester Guardian.)
May is almost half over, and there
is scarcely anything to mark the fact
in London beyond the green of the
trees. There is no question of a
"season." One of the few signs of
the advent of early summer and the
existence of a class of people who in
other years would have been "up for
the season" is the fact that the park
is onc e more a meeting place. There
is nothing doing in London outside
nursing and good works generally,
end in the odd times people foregath
er in Hyde park. The very young
elrls who are unable to do much to
help their elders in Red Cross or oth
er work meet forlornly enough to ride
or sit ahnut near Stanhope gate or
Hyde park corner. They are, of
course, no young men except those
ba'k for a day or two from the
trenches or thofe really working in
the clvlj v-rviee.

husband was a "dabbler" In painting,
besides being a financier. He met
and loved Sylvia' grandmother long,
lung years ago, runs the romance that
has Just come to light. He painted
a portrait that he prized because It
had the gray eyes, the gold hair and
the sweet face of that "sweetheart
of his." Others prized it as an ex
quisite bit of art.
It came about that those long-ago
lovers married the omnipresent
"somebody else." So the "old sweet
heart'' portrait with gray eye, gold
hair and quaint frock was hung away
In the gallery. Just like any other
portrait, and there it hung for years.
Robert, his little grandson, used,
long after, to stand before that por
trait and call it "my sweetheart," and
when he grew up and went to college
he still called that picture in the gal
lery "my sweetheart.'" Robert came
home from his travels this spring. At
the Carlton dance he met a girl mar
velriusly like that old portrait gray
eyes, gold hair, and sweet face. The
neit day he led his grandfather to
the portrait In the gallery and asked:
"Who is the lady in the sweetheart
picture? I danced with her double
tax night."
'Her name was Sylvia," said the
grandfather dreamily.
"Her name is Sylvia!" exclaimed
Rofcert.
"She wa an old sweetheart of
mine,'' said the grandfather.
"And she is she I expecting me to
call this afternoon!" And Robert
strode away as do lovers In romance.

mother, whom Robert's grandfather
loved.
And I, even I. Sylvia's oldest

pink roses, and even the little Ivory
fan, Robert's gift to each bridesmaid.
Now it's all over and I've been
