And in their conduct often rudt.

And no doubt, too, as oft have I,
You'll notice this and wonder why
Why should the barren Intellect
The treasures of the world collect.
While polished minds from day to day
Must struggle for a meager pay?
If ignorance to wealth can rise,
Thy be a gentleman and wise?
Would you be laughed at as is he.

And for mere gold, so highly prized,
Would you be pitied or despised?

THEY WONT WAIT FOREVER
IN his letter published today Asa' Arbrjgast, a resident of
Northern Grant county, says that if this county does not lm-
prove its road to the south the only course for the people
there will be to cooperate, towards a better road into Heppner,
thfcir next best bet in the way of an outside town. There is more
truth than poelrv in that declaration. That is the very course
they plan and will carry out if we do not get busy within a rea
sonable time. In fact the Grant county bond money and market
road money available for work on the road connecting with tb
county noes not necessarily have to be spent there and wont be
ao expended unless Umatilla county cooperates by improving its
psit of the road. If we fail to do our part the Grant t'o 1 iiy
money will be expended with a view to a better Heppner con
nection. ', . , , 1 ' ' . ' ,

become effective July 1 for gas at As
toria is $1.00 per thousand feet. As a
mntier of fact the minimum is $1.00
for S00 cubic feet or less, and not $1.00
per thousand cubic feet as quoted ny
you. The minimum .charge at I'enaie.

which the customer is entitled to 850

that insofar as the minimum charge

twice as well off as those at Astoria.
Gas is sold at Pendleton for straight
l nn nor thousand un to 10.000 feet
after which a discount is made of 25c
per thousand, and So on up the scale.
The first 200 feet cost $1.00 in Astoria,'
after which a charge of $2.50 per
thousand feet is made, discounts for
amounts over 5000 feet being made.
Th ereat increase in oil from whicn
gas is made in Astoria made this new
schedule imperative that the company
could pay interest and depreciation. .
The situation In fenaieton outers
but little from those in Astoria, we
have been struggling along the past
two vpars trusting that the price of
coal and labor would decrease, but to
Cate we find our coal bills increased
Sr nercent and labor 66 per cent, and
we continue to sell gas at the same old
price. -
I would also call your attention -to
the fact that the Pacific Power and
Light Company is the only concern in
your city, that has not Increased its
nrire throush these trying times, this
notwithstanding the fact that material
and labor Increased from' 50 to 100 per
cent. " -"
Insofar as the odor is concerned, we
admit the gas for a time was bad, and

explained both through your paper and
the Tribune and you were paid ior tne
explanation. ... .
Investigation on our part showea
i came from
illy ventilated rooms, '-small apart

SAKE . OF HER CHILDREN
CHICAGO," July 20.-MI. N, S.)
Mother, love won out over the love of
a wife for her husband in one of the
strangestiieternal triangles' ever re
vealed in the Chicago coutts.
Mrs. Lynn N. Hitchcock ''gave" her
husband away to the "other woman"
that her children might not suffer
from a faithless father. - She was
granted a divorce here with custody of
her two children John, eight: and
Evelyn, seven and 110 alimony a
month. Hitchcock will marry the
"other woman." -
' lUrs Hitchcock blamed her marital
troubles on the fact that her husband
was a "traveling salesman."
"I gave up my husband for my chil
dren," she explained. "The mother
love was greater than my love for my
Ihusband. The other woman may have
him now. . -
"tf 1 had insisted on livmg with
him he might have starved me and my
children. I wouldn't want them to
live under the stain of a falthle fatlt
er.' . . 1
"He was always loving and dutiful
until he went on thr road as a. travel
ing salesman. Then his whole atti
tude changed. He met thiB other wo
man Myrtle, he eaued her on one ot
his trips, She was his ftffintty, I sup
pose. - s
"It was hard at first to decide. It
seemed imnossible to give him up..: I
knew a lot of women would have
wnntPii to nunlsh him for wasting my
love. But I couldn't do that for thfe
love of my children was greater than
that.- There is no love greater, than
mother love."" 1 ' ; ? -.
