ENDURANCE
From out the nlht which aheltfr
me
Black as the pit from pole to pole
I thauk whatever proda there be
For my unconquerable aoul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud
Beneath the bludgeoning of chance
My head, though bloodied, In not
bowed -
How ever atralt may be Jhe gate.
How charged with punUhnient the
arroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my aoul.

THE HOUSE OF REPRE
SENTAI1YES
Congress having voted itself
a liberal increase in salary might
now do a good turn for the gen
eral public by reducing the mem
bership of ,the House and there
by reduce the cost of maintain
ing that body at the same time
increase its efficiency.
When the constitution was
adopted it was provided that the
number of representatives should
not exceed one for every 30,000
inhabitanti and that until such
time as a census could be taken.
The total number of represent
atives Bhould be 65 of which
New York should have 6 and
Massachusetts 8.
The ratio it now one for every
211,877, the total membership of
the House is 435 and of these
New York has 43, Massachusetts
16, and Oregon 3.
The new schedule of salaries
will call for four million three
hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars per annum.
The body that haggled over the
increase in the meager compen
sation of postal employees and
then voted itself an increase of
ver a million a year will do well
to seriously consider the abvis
ability actually doing something
for the tax payers by reducing
the number of those who draw
the $2500 per annum increase in
salaries.
Senatorial Rules in Practice
At the very time that Vice
President Dawes was urging re
form of the rules governing the
transaction of business in the
U. S. Senate that body had be
fore it a treaty with Cuba, ne
gotiated by. the late President,
Roosevelt, in 1904, and which
had been continuously before the
Senate awaiting action since the
year of its negotiation.
THE VICE PRESIDENT
TOTHESENATE
As it !s the duty of the presid
ing officer of the senate to call
attention to defective methods in
the conduct of business by the
body over which he presides, so,
under their constitutional power,
it is the duty of the members of
this body ts correct them. To
vade or ignore an issue between
right and wrong methods is in
itself a wrong. To the perform
ance of this duty, a duty which
is partisan, a duty which is non
sectional, a duty which is alone
in the interest of the Nation we
have sworn faithfully to serve,
I ask the consideration of the
senate appealing to the conscience
and the patriotism of the in
dividual members. Vice Presi
dent Chas. G. Dawes,
Rhea Creek's
.First Settler
C. A. Rhea, the third man to
make his home in this locality,
like most'pioneer Jwys, was short
on education but he had plenty
of energy and natural ability and
made rapid progress in stock
raising, soon accumulating large
bands of cattle and horses. He
then took up sheep raising which
proved to be his most profitaple
line of industry, and became the
largest operator in the country.
He was making, money faster
than he could make use of it and
branched out into banking, mer
chandising and later matched a
lot of money against other mens
experience and opened up a large
packing plant in Portland.
In pioneer days, book keeping
was an unknown art and every
man's word was taken in lieu ot
his note and losses were unknown
but with the change from stock-
raising to farming came a new
lot of people' and a new method
of doing business. He ' had al
ways listened to the wants of bis
neighbors and helped them with
every means at his commarid and
could not refuse the requests
that came from all sides to pro
mote the new enterprizes of the
country. When he discontinued
the sheep industry he was
obliged to trust his business
management in the hands of
others and continued trying to
help others, but his fortune es
caped him in a short time .with
much more ease than it had been
accumulated.
Many of our prominent citizen
owe their success to a start se
cured through the assistance of
this pioneer who led the country
in many long years of hard
struggles and it is a sad thing to
note that one who did so much
in the upbuilding of a community
must be deprived of the fruits of
his labdr for it is well known
that he 'was ready to give with a
free hand while he was able and
must now pass through his re
maining years seeing others en
joying that which he has made
possible.
After spending most of sixty
years in the community which he
helped to develope this sturdy
citizen has seen all his children,
except Josie Jones, leave the
country of their birth, while he
now makes his home ' at Hills
boro, but Rhea creek will con
tinue to perpetuate the name of
Lum Rhea, a man who has set a
mark in the history of Morrow
County.

found him organically sound,
with a pink and healthy complex
ion. But his heart wasn't beat
ing and his lungs weren't acting.
Dr. Kassow tried to blow the
boy's lungs into motion and to
start respiration by working the
arms, but to no avail. He bad
almost despaired when he recalled
hearing of a baby in Chicago
Leisg born with vital powers

pulmotor.
He ran to the telephone, called
up the gas company office and
begged the official to respond to
an emergency. The emergency
crew raeed to the hospital with

mere than five minutes the pul
motor was in action.

fant's lungs and drawn out The
processes of life were awakened.
The heart began to beat feebly.
When the pulmotor was taken
away the child was able to
breathe regularly.
