M "WORDS, ONLY WORDS' 3T is a favorite pastime with Wilson critics to moan that he uses "words, only words." They seem to think it unfortunate that he is able to get results by simply telling other nations what is wanted. It is evidently the tory view that a diplomatic victory is not hk good as a victory wn through bloodshed, wholesale death and misery for those "at g ! 1 -z ... , . . I . T9'v-eJgg"V ' Stock to home." But the people will not object to the Wilson methods. Nor will the soldiers at the front. It is much nicer to come home alive than to come home in a coffin or to feed the coy otes on some desert field. If there are jingo editors who think it unfortunate that more ol our people are not being killed in Mexico there is noth ing to prevent those editors trom going down there and getting plugged. GOOD ROUND-UP YEAR Tgf HERE is an adage to the effect that it is good pol icy to make time when the road is clear and traveing easy. Therefore it is proper for the Round-Up to carry on a brisk publicity campaign this year and arrange for a mam moth crowd at the coming show. Conditions indicate such a crowd will be here. There are less counter attrac tions than for several years past, there is no exposition for people to attend this year and times are good throughout the northwest. It should be a good Round-Up year, particularly if a vigorous effort is made to im press the public with the fact the show will be greater than ever before and that there will be accommodations for all. DO THE JOB RIGHT COUNCILMAN PHELPS is right in asserting that if a move is started to re move the poles and overhead wires on Main and Court street the action should cover both the telephone and the electric company. It would be silly to do the job by half. As a matter of fact the coun cil need lose no sleep over dan ger of bankrupting either the electric company or the tele phone company by requiring them to bring their local equip ment up to date. According to the official re port of the comptroller of the telephone company the net earnings of the system for 1915 were $.'4,618,638. In view of that showing the company does not seem in any danger of the poor farm. A similar condition doubt less exists with the electric company which is a branch of a very wealthy and powerful trust. When that company sells bonds it is able to make an exceedingly attractive show ing as to net income. There is probably a relationship be tween this fact and the decla ration by a chautauqua lectur er last week that a city that pays more than five cents per kilowat for electricity pays too SELLING FURNITURE FAST Choose much. Examine your light bill and you will observe that the household charge in Pendleton is 10 cents per kilowat. . . . . . a - - THE COLONEL'S UNDYING FAITH INCE Col. Roosevelt re fused to stay by the pro gressive ship and by his rction has wrecked the party for whose creation he was re sponsible, some of his 1912 ut terances on the subject have been brought to the surface. In 1912 the colonel was fer vently in love with the new party and pledged his undying fealty. Here are some of his views of that by-gone day: The old parties are husks, with no real soul within either, divided on artificial lines, boss ridden and privilege-controlled, each a jumble of incongru ous elements. There have been times when it was expressed that we were merely a bolting faction of one of the old parties and would attempt to fuse again with that party. We will not. This movement will never go back, and whatever may betide in the future, of one thing the disciples of any easy opportun ism may rest assured: I will never abandon the proiciples to which we progressives have pledged ourselves, and I will never abandon the men and women who drew around me never abandon the principles Having failed to keep the faith he pledged to the pro gressives in 1912 are they to be blamed if in very large num bers they decline to follow the Roosevelt lead this time.

Thai dynamite is used to remove the tops from trees, selected jis spar trees for skyline logging rig of the Manley Moore Lumber I'ompany camp at Fairfax. Wash.. Is reported by Fortst Officer L A. Nelson, who has Just returned from a visit to this camp. From. This picture was taken several weeks hko. showing Italians on their wa day passes hut some ship leaves New t Instead of using a saw or ati axe, the headrigger puts on a pair of long ' spurred climbing irons and ascends i the tree to a height of from 100 to 1 50 feet. He carries with him sev eral sticks of dynamite tied together, end to end, like a string of sausages , This he puts around the tree trunk, which is USUall) about 12 inches in diameter at the point where he wish es to take off the top. tying the pow der securely In place. A detonating cap, to which a long piece of fuse is attached, is inserted in one of the sticks of dynamite. The rigger de scends twenty feel or so. lights the fuse and makes his way to a safe ! place on the ground some distance from the tree. After a few minutes the powder explode, the tree top , leaps Into the air and comes crash ing down. The limbs are removed i fro m the trunk before the top Is shot out, so that after the explosion the stub is ready fur attaching the blocks j of the overhead logging system. This method of getting the tops .iff j which Is only experimental at present. is expected to prove safer and more j economical than sawing or chopping off the top. which makes it necessary for the faller to remain in the tree ; until the top has fallen, i The Miinley-Moore Lumber Com pany. which is testing this method , has a five-year contract with the For est Service and la cutting government timber on the Rainier National For : est at an elevation of f.Oflfl feet above ' sea level, the highest elevation of any logging works operating in western Washington. Two venrs ago attenti on was called to their operations when they Installed an inclined rall vay over a mile long, and so arranged that a carload of logs coming down hauls an empty car tip. On the max imum grade of this Incline that track lises 57 feet In going forward 104, It has been a successful operation for two years. MEAT PRICES ADVANCING.
