All communications should be addressed to i PRESS Athena, Oregon ATHENA, MARCH. ... .13, 1906 Athena offers a bid of $800 aud tbe material for constructing the mile of experimental macadamized road to be bnilt in Eastern Oregon this year by the government. With this offer is included the best location for prac tical road making to be found any where in Umatilla county, or, for that matter, in any county in tbe whole of Eastern Oregon. In the one mile of road which Athena offers the govern ment for practical test in road mak ing, thore is embraced all tbe known character and elements in soil form ation that is encountered east of the Cascade mountains. Here, within the distance of one mile, tbe prac ticability of macadamized road mak ing oau be put to a thorough, econo mical test over a roadbed including formations of voloanio ash, hard pan, clay, alkali, sand, gravel and heavy, black gumbo soil of the creek bottom. IP THE HIGHEST BID SECURES THE LOCATION FOR THE EX PERIMENTAL ROAD Athena may stand the chance of losing tbe road. But if the BEST INTERESTS OF PRACTICAL ROAD MAKING ARE TO BE PUT TO THE MOST RIGID TEST POSSIBLE WITHIN THE DISTANCE PRESCRIBED BY THE GOVERNMENT, AND AT ECONO MICAL EXPENSE, then Athena's offer, after fair and impartial investi gation, will surely be accepted. - Socialism is a dream that will not stand the test of real life. But social ism is a force which asserts itself in evor wideniug ciroles of publio opin ion. Its itioroase in votes, its growth in popular sentiment are signs of the tim os. Our politicians will do well to look for tho cause. Tbe Evening Bulletin of Walla Walla, in disouss iug the growth of socialism, says: "Tbe most apparent reason for this phenomenal development of social istic ideals is the disregard of the law by our corporations and moneyed men. For them there seems to be no au thority. II. H. Rogers rofuses to answer pertinent questions. He re fuses defiantly. The Chicago packers do the same thing. Our insurance robbers go to Paris.

There is a widespread impres sion that the senate is owned by the railroads, that a large number of its members have such close relation with the large corporations that they cannot act independently. " This may be all wrong, but tbe fact remains that tbe publio opinion is suspicious. Tbe football "methods of tbe senate re lative to the Hepburn rate bill have not helped to eradicate this suspicion. This measure so strongly endorsed by Roosevelt looks like common sense. The breaks should be turned on when the big corporations endeavor to tyrranize the country. Publio service utilities should not be made graft machines for tbe few at tbe expense of the many. And yet the senate dis cusses the problem at such length that it looks very much as if the Hepburn bill will die of too much gab. If these matters will keep up the present tempo, the country will soon be a prey to 'plutocrats. But be fore the Amerioan people will toler ate suoh usurpation in the land of the free, they will quietly step in and take possession of their own." The daily press is through with Alice and Nick and is now printing donble column halftone outs of Henry Yates Satterlee, the Episcopalian bishop who married them. WHEN WIIL IT END? Portland Oregonian. Seattle has declared it will not per mit entrance of railroads into that city to be obstructed and defeated by its intrenched and arrogant railroad monopoly. The oity election Tuesday demonstrated clearly that Seattle pro poses to take the municipal machinery from the hands of tbe railroads and to plaoe its own independent and ac credited representatives in control. Seattle has done much for the rail roads, and the railroads have done much for Seattle. It has given much everything to tbe railroads, be cause its commercial greatness de pended largely, if not wholly, on rail road competition. Therefore it de livered itself over to them that is to say, to the Great Northern railroad body, boots and breeohes. The Great Northern was the savior of Seattle. It became the owner. Seattle did not know that the trans formation had occurred tiutil Mr. Hill inspired his city government to in terpose every sort of obstacle in the way of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul railroad. Then the town woke up. It defeated the Hill candidate for mayor in face of a normal repub lican majority of 5000 or more. It all but defeated the oouncilmen-at-large who, more than any other, had been instrumental in carrying out the Hill policy. It upset the entire Hill soheme of municipal government and brought the city council to a realiz ing sense of the force and power of outraged publio sentiment. So the council got together and at once ar ranged to give tbe St. Paul railroad its franchise. The Oregonian thinks the Seattle episode is of profound significance and value to the people of Portland. Here we have the reigning powers trying to keep out the North-Bank Railroad. Tbe people welcome Mr. Hill not as a politician or as tbe owner of the town, but as the builder of a great railroad system and the ohief developing influence of mauy states. We oan have no fear, under conditions here.that he will ever essay to control our political, social and commercial affairs as he does in Seat tle. Our only concern is that tbe efforts of an . inspired and unjustifi able opposition will not succeed in keeping him ont of Portland. Every body knows what the North-Bank rail road means to Portlaud. Everybody Make Your appointments Here knows that the war on the Swan Island bridge is not made in good faith, nor through any real desire to protect tbe interests of tbe port Everybody knows that Mr. Hill him self, if he shall establish a terminal here, will have an interest in building up a great port at or near Portland that will require him to -join in any proper plan to increase its importance by maintaining an unobstructed chan nel to the sea. . Everybody knows that twenty citizens of -Portland are for the Swan Island bridge where one is opposed, and tbe twenty voioe tbe sentiment practically of Portland's entire commercial community. Every body knows that, if tbe people at large, including nearly all our busi ness men, had an opportunity to ex press in an election their will in this most vital matter, tbe obstructive majority or is it minority ? -in the Port of Portland Commission would be wiped out of existence. The an noying and inexcusable delays by tbe Port of Portland Commission, and tbe unreasonable and unfounded objec tions it has made to the Swan Island bridge, are in the line with the his tories of tbe reigning powers here, which want everything themselves and nothing for anybody else. It is tbe greedy game of grab, for ever played by our local plutooracy, through another of its vehicles, the Port of Portland Commission. - When, oh Lord, will it end? THE KAISEH AT A GLANCE.

Thank you, little girl, you have given me a knock I That will last me for many a day: It's just the sort of blow, in fact, the very kind of shook, . That a man oan remember alway. Long ago I learned that a woman can't play fair; She doesn't know the ethics of the game; But you you seemed so different, you seemed to have an air Above tbe usual halt and lame. You brought to mind a woman strange vision of my past Who never had an untruth on her name, The only thing in petticoats, of all the slow or fast lever saw, who deemed a lie a shame. I took your word ; I clean forgot the experience of years, That women do not know the Gold en Rule; I actually believed your vow I Aud . now theso few last tears I Did anyone ever see a bigger fool? 'Tis not so uiuob tho loss I cnold bear that stolidly. Love, if wholly lost, is still divine; What hurts is that it's you who calm ly lied to me, , Aud plaoed no' value on your word or mine. Turn back, old man, to safer paths. Bank up heart fires tight; A girl oan uever keep her promise whole. The world is full of women, and other toys, and light; Take it as it is. Lock up your soul. Still it is true that if, perchauco, she'd come to me and say She did not know tbe wound her aots iuour, I'd bless her, and forgive her, and ever after pray That promise ne'er be broken unto her. A.
