The New year edition of the
Pendleton Tribune was a very
creditable number, reflecting the
enterprise and pluck of its pub
lisher. It was a sixteen page
edition brim full of valuable in
formation regarding Pendleton and
Umatilla county.
The New Year edition of the
Oregonian was one of the oest ever
issued by that paper. It contain
much valuable information In re

coming Lewi and Cltrk fair, ami
with a wide circulation it will la

large number of a desirable clan

It can hardly be said too often
that it is a bad time for a farmer
to desert a specialty when that
specialty happens to be unproBt
able, says the Rural Northwest.
This appears to us to be a good
time for the Oregon stock-growers
to keep on in the business; the
daryman to sell none of his (rood
cows and the prune grower to take
care of his orchard. There are up
and downs in profitableness of all
lines of production. There may
be farmers who are engaged in the i perfect
specialties mentioned who should
abandon them but not because
temporarily some other line of
farm production are yielding better
profits,, but because from personal
to "roast' these official, mildly
In this age of enlightment and
advertisement they should have
been on their guard. Warnings are
sounded through the press daily
against buying of traveling ped
dlers and grafters, home instu-
tions pay out hundreds of dollars
in advertising and yet people will
bite at these outsioe "bargains,"
It seems useless to grow hoase talk
ing to people in their own interest,
when they ignore it to their loes.
Peddlers will always infest a
country that is so easy to work
and the only way to avoid the 'skin
game of the fakir is to confine your
trade to citizens of your home town
who spend their money in building
up the community."

Size is just right for the
pocket. Binding is good to t uch
and sight. Those who use a "Tem

what this means. Dickens, Thack

It is said that the bible is to be
published in this way. The effect
is to make reading easy, so far as
mechanical preparation goes. With
books at a cost withiu limits of the
most modest means, we ought to be
and are a reading people. The
trouble ie often that the limpness
is not confinrd to the binding, but
is prominently part of the style.
In Western books virility is sup
posed to be added by introducing
slang and profanity, The West is
a bit hasty sometimes in express
ion, but vulgarity is not confined
t either side of the . Rockies. Prob
ably the pocket editions will not
for some time include any of the
quick-growth books. It would be
hard anyway to get a cowboy story
of the going type into pocket size.
Popular taste win take care of it
self. A boy on horseback was met
the other day. He read as he rode
nor paid attention to anything else
than the book. The book he read
was by no author previously men
tioned at this time of writing.
Neither wa it a devotional work.
But It held the boy's thought and
did him good. The name written
on the back was "King SolomonV
Mines."
