GOD MADE THE COUNTRY BUT MEN BUILD THE TOWNS T N voting through the new budget which will enlarge the I work of the Pendleton Commercial Association the mem bers Tuesday night acted in a manner characteristic of the town. This place is not in the habit of laying down whether business be good, bad or indifferent. When there is something to be accomplished the slogan is "Go ahead". t The proposition of strengthening the finances of the associa tion and of putting the work on a more efficient basis has long been discussed and the action taken was not hasty. The asso ciation has been performing very valuable work but there is op portunity to accomplish considerable more. "What can the association do?" some one may ask. Once there was a merchant who had a fair business and the thought nothing could be done to improve it or to safeguard the trade he had. He did nothing. But a competitor was not so complacent. The competitor found much to do and did it. As a result as time went on that competitor acquired nearly all of the business and the other man is still wondering how it happened. j A town is somewhat like a business firm Location and other advantages count for much. But the human element enters strongly into the game. There is a town of some 6000 people in the state of Illinois that was established before St. Louis was etarted. The little town is said to have a better location in many respects than St. Louis has and it had the advantage of an earlier feiart. But the small town is never heard of and St. Louis is one of the great cities of the land. How did that occur? The busi ness energy developed in St. Louis may be the answer. Fate does not explain her secrets but when results are analyzed it will be often found that Fate had less tc do with those results than did human gumption, exerted in the right way at the right time. For the Pendleton Commercial Association a splendid field of endeavor is open. The association deals not only with city problems but with the interests of the entire county and of the whole Eastern Oregon region. At times there are big things to be put over. But generally the work consists of an endless immber of small affairs, none of which may be vitally important, Lut in the aggregate these subjects are extremely important and the manner in which they are handled has much to do with the prosperity and progress of the community. I : There are those M ho think the city has reached its limit and that the future will see few changes in this region. They thought that 40 years ago but the pessimists of that time were wrong. There were men who thought this was a strictly range country and that wheat farming would kill it. Later on there was talk of irrigation and there were prominent men who scoffed at the idea of trying to raise anything on the sandy soil of the west end. They do not scoff now. Twelve years ago when the Pendleton woolen mills was revived and placed under the present man . agement there were local people who looked with pessimistic eyes upon the move undertaken at that time in its- behalf through the Commercial Association. Thty thought it a waste of time, but it was not. , , ; The future will be like the past only more so. The world moves quickly these days and eyes are turning to the northwest. This is the most promising region in the nation. The northwest is going forward and every town that has a real reason to exist as a business center is going to grow in population and business. The motor car and good roads eliminate distances and some small towns may suffer but the more important places will gain proportionately if they are alive to their own best interests. There is much for Pendleton to do and the best way to ac complish the task is through a live, aggressive commercial or ganization operated in the interests of all and having the sup port of all. WAGE REDUCTION AND BUILDING JOHN F. DOL1N, head of the building trades department of the American Federation of Labor, asserts that labor has a big responsibility for the high cost of building and the resultant house shortage. , He is quoted as asserting that "labor in the building industry must accept a reduction in wages if the cost of living comes down sufficiently." He points out, however, the injustice of hav ing labor take the first step toard lower building costs, intimat ing that wage reductions must follow and not precede reduc tions in living costs and reductions to material costs. Building materials have recentl taken some big declines and anyone who follows the prices in the various stores cannot help but know that living costs have dropped very appreciably dur ing the past few months. The house shortage has been serious all over the nation and tnere has been a deplorably limited amount of construction dur ing the past few years. Reduction in wages for the building trades coupled with the declines in prices of building materials and curtailments of contractor profits will do much toward stimulating building, thereby relieving the acute house shortage nd providing steady employment for many men. Fred Gosser, 64 year old resident of Douglas county, took his first ride on a railroad train Saturday. It also develops that until that day he had never seen a larger town than Roseburg and he has never seen the Pacific ocean, though he has lived near it all his life. That man has been missing a lot. n 28 MS AGO 1 'i i (I'Yom the lally Kast Oretfuniaii, i January 6, IHM.i i Diiir I'helpa and Ail'ilj.h New-land Wei, out the oihcr day on another i luintnitf exiH'dition and hugged 13' larka and three wild duck as well u i a-cldontHlly MIIUir a taine jtoose. nrnnrimn Twn-nl 1 r-W. r!S, fiom a Berii'UB Illness. 1 t'harleg Kennedy is here from Helix today.

Mr. Lloyd George warned his hear ers that a period of great and Inevi table depression "was coming and the question was, he said, how to short en or to mitigate its evil.
