I do not ask. O Lord, that life
may be
A pleasant road;
I do net ask that thou should'st
take from me
Aue-ht of its load.
I do not ask that flowers should
always spring
Beneath my feat:
I know too well the poison and
the sting
Of things too sweet.
I do not ask my cross to under
stand aly way to see
Better in darkness just to feel
thv hand.
And follow the.
Joy is like restless day. but
peace divine
Like quiet night:
Lead me. O Lord, till perfect
day shall shine.
Through peace to light.

SENATOR LANE AND
LAND GRANT
THE
SENATOR LANE'S letter
SB and his statement before
the house public lands
committee is not altogether en
couraging from the standpoint
of those working to secure 40
per cent of the land grant mon
ey for the school fund.
The senator seems to give
first thought to the idea of
turning the land over to set
tlers in 160 acre tracts. Yet
the modem settler on such
lands as this is no settler at all.
He is a speculator or a dummy
entryman for some party or
parties desiring to secure good
timber at a cheap price.
If all or a large part of the
grant land should be thrown
open to entry the land would
be quickly taken, but the state .
would get nothing. An entry
man on timber land would be
unable to use his timber him
self. He would have to sell
his timber for a song and the
real beneficiary of the plan
would be not the settler or the
state but the gentleman finally
getting the timber.
How much better for the
government to sell the timber
outrisrht at commercial prices
and apply 40 per cent of the
proceeds to our school fund
and 40 per cent for roads in
the land grant counties. In

The East Oregonian may not
thoroughly understand Senator
Lane's position and credits him
with all sincerity in his atti
tude, but he appears too much
impressed with the "poor set
tler" argument. He should
beware of gentlemen who talk
tearfully about the horny
handed settler in this day and

age for he is likely to have
something up his sleeve. The
real settler of the olden days is
just about extinct and in dis
posing of property worth many
millions of dollars congress
should base its notions on facts
not upon fiction.
If there are genuine settlers
located on any of this land in
good faith they are entitled to
protection. But outside of
them the state's interest will
best be served through the sale
of the land at market prices,
the proceeds being used for
upbuilding the school fund and
for other purposes of a public
nature.
FROM THE PEOPLE
KEITHS WERE PIONEERS.
Pilot Rock, Ore., April li.
Editor East Oregonian:
I see in your paper where the nan ?
of Pilot Rock Junction is changed to
Keith. I think that is a very appro
priate name. I am surprised that the
Cast Oregonian saya that the name 01
Reith is unknown. The Relth boy.
were some of the oldest of the old pi
oneers. They owned land at the
mouth of Birch creek from In the
sixties up to the eighties. They ran
sheep extentively ail over the h:llx
around where Pilot Rock Junction la
now and the three boys, as they were
always called, Jake, Eugene and Lou
ts, owned several hundred acres of
deeded land from the Junction down
the river and also up Birch creek
over as far as Coombs Canyon. At
one time they were large property
owners In Pendleton and Tacoma.
Two of them are still living near
Sprague, Wash., Eugene and Louii
Keith The other is dead.
Tours very truly,
JOHN BRADBURN.

Echo, Ore, April 18
Editor East Oregonian:
. Straub. dean of the University ol
Oregon, who has visited over a hun
dred and fifty high schools makes
this statement in regard to the Echo
high school:
"I consider the Echo high school,
population considered, the best high
that I have seen thus far. Its equip
ment is splendid, it has an efficient,
wide-awake faculty, and I think the
directors are to be congratulated on
their work and I hope they will keep
up the good work and not let Echo
high lose its rank. j. Straub."
Respectfully,
W. W. GREEN.
