There ia a scarcity of shlppln. doe to the war; but ahipyarde are turning out vessels to tne umn their caa petty and are engaged for a long tlroo ahead. Government cannot possibly add a single bottom to the world's merchant fleet, but thinks it Is dealing with the scarcity of shipping when It passes a law about It- The effect of government action In other respects Is problematic Incalculable. For instance. It passes a low-tariff .-a iher factors almost Imme diately cause tbe sharpest rise ever known la commodity prices. But some very simple things are en tirely within the power of govern ment. It can stop wasting tens of mnilnns yearly lu pork-barrel appro priations. It can adopt a broad. In telligent, non-partisan scheme of wa terway Improvement, as the Freer bill suggests. It can frame a psssable na tional budget scheme. It caa uproot the spoils system, which costs heavily In Inefficiency and In political degra dation. It can overhaul and reorgan t. anuMMitiva deDartments. By easily achieved reforms, wholly with in Itself, it can save millions, or Hun dreds of mtHlons. of public money.

Harlan, sporting sdltor of tbe Pilot Bock Record, has this to say ith rrit to the coIlaDoe of the late lamented Blue Mountain league: "Now comes the FenHto oaaeoau tram with the announcement that It i- -tin .in iha Blue Mountain league. and Is ready to play ball again. In face of this announcement, wa must say that It Is certainly too bad that the Pendleton aggregation - didn't make a permanent decision one way or the other and then stick to it k h- viint Rock-Pendtfeton game of two weeks sgo it was announced that Pendleton was going to wunaraw from the league on account of being unable to raise sufficient funds to pay Its players. When this became known both Weston snd PHot Rock accepted the decision as final and consequently these two teams disbanded. Now Pendleton has decide, to stay. So far it hasn't been ascertained who Is going to stay with them, for It Is el moot a dead cinch that it will be Impossible to get either Pilot Bock or Weston to gether again. 8tlH, there isn't much occasion for serious thought, for it may be that Pendleton will decide again In a few days that It will not stsy In ths league. Ws shall see what we shall see. In the meantime we would like to have a little Information gs to what dispotritloo bss or will bs made of the I5C deposit put up by ths AHfmrr nt teams ss a sruarantee for each to remain In the league and fin- gram numbers were provided by Adah Loan Rose and Walter Rose of Pen dleton, Winifred McKenile of Wslls Walla, little Ruth Douglas of Weston, Laurel - K.

Rlgby, a pioneer Uma tilla county minister, la recent years a resident of Alberta, gave a brief and highly diverting talk Friday morning relative to incidents of pio neer life. Saturday Mr. Rlgby, who Is now wholly blind, was led forward on the platform and gave a feeling Invo cation. Friday morning's Invocation was effectively offered by Rev. W. a. Payne. Mayor J. M. Banister made quite a hit with his address of wel come Friday, and may yet be railed upon to leave hla broad acres to shift for themselves and go out to rival Bryan on the Chautauqua circuit President Geo. W. Ones delegated his response to Msyor Homer I. Watts of Athena, who rose to the occasion with hla accustomed ssng froid. During the course of bis remarks, Mr. Watts suggested that a monument should be erected la Weston . to perpetuate the memory of Umatilla county pioneers. Friday the girls of Weston High school, prettily strtred, gave some very pleasing folk dsnces on the green of the city park, closing with tne May pole dance.
