Some few days ago several old tim

one or two men who formerly made
Grand Junction and Mesa county their
homes. The men who were talking
had niggered and pinched and saved
every penny they had made. The :

extent lost the capacity for enjoyment.
The discussion hinged upon the absent
ones capacity to get rid of money.
This was firstly and lastly the COM
plete charge against these who had
moved away from this city Finally
another man present asked them what
they had ever done to build up the city
and county, how much time had they
spent toward public enterprises They
were compelled to answer that they
had done nothing. What the other
men had done was then considered
and it was brought out that the mon
who had departed from heIe had done
much toward building the city and

upon themselves and friends. The
moral is that it is not the man that

1 hand on, who builds up a community
nor again the man who does nothing
for anyone but himself; but it is the
man who does things, who spends that
others may have and who lives for
some enjoymeI while journeying
dhrough life. The Sentinel does not

extreme prodigalitv, but it does desire
to be somewhat loyal to those who

There is too much squeamishness
in the pnlpit of this latter day church.
Ministers are too punctilious in their
language, for fear of giving offense.
One of the very admirable things of
the Catholic priesthood. is that plain
truths are told the youth of the con-
gregation, in plain language. The
parents of the children are taken to
task. if they fail in urging their chill
dren to do what is right and attend
the means of grace of that church.

es. Parents are equally lax with the
clergy They hesitate to have plain
square talk with the boy or girl, when
the proper age arrives. They fear
most that thev will open their minds
to something about which they have
known nothing. if the subject is
broached. On this they need not hes
itate The average boy learns things
even though the best restraints are
placed about him. Take the boy OF

but at the same time talk so convinc-
ingly of evil, that danger will be av.

1t is impossible for j. b. Foaraker
of Ohio to see evil in anything done
by Republican. He is ready at all
times to defend the guilty, SO they
be Republicans. He is attempting to
make the public believe that Gen
Leonard Wood is deserving of such
great military. honors, as is proposed
for him by President Roosevelt. He
will speak to that end in the seuatc in
a few days. We like to see man a
good partisan, but better yet good
American. We believe that if man
be reprehensible in the sight of public
opinion that the mere fact that he be-
longs to one or another of the two
great political organizations should
not save him from his just desserts.
Wood has no claim. that is worthy of
recognition for the position of major
general of the armies of the United
States. Better yet. he has not cleaned
his skirts of the charge of backcap-
ping and unprofessional conduct as a
good soldier in Cuba. Let us have
some honor in this matter of General
Wood. Decentralization will be the
consequence. should this political fa-

SHORT SCHOOL DAY FOR YOUNG.
New York Board to Consider AdOp-~
fion of Three-HOur Day,

New York, Dec. 14.-A report is be-
ing prepared by Superintendent Max
we'll for presentation to the board of
education, which, it is said, will be the
first step toward the adoption of
three hour or three and a half hour
day for the lowest grades in all the
elementary schools of this city.
The board of superintendent has,
been investigating as to the relative
results obtained by full-day classes,
part-time classes, morning classes and
afternoon classes in the first two school
years, since the beginning of Novem-
Der. The inv estigation was begun as.
a result of a proposal to cut down the
school day in these grades generally by
eliminating certain studies. President
Tiff, of the board of education, said
in reference to the scheme:
"While a five hour day is probably
good to keep children OF the streets in
some parts of the city, believe in
short school days for younger children.
1 would give every child educational
facilities as great as possible, but not,
so great as to interfere with proper
mental and physical growth. More
than three houfs' class work daily
makes the children restless"

TO GET CANAL.
Site of Locks at Oregon City
Nay Be Condemned.
SENATOR FULTON FATHERS BILL.
Hopes to Have 1t Included in River
and HarbOr MeaSure-Nafion
Has Right to Build.

Washington, Dec. IA Based on a
report of United States Attorney Hall,
sent to congress today by the secretary
of war, Senator Fulton intends to nitro
duce bill authorizing the government
to acquire by condemnation the canal
and locks owned and operated by the
Portland General electric company at
Willamette Falls. The board of engi-
neers, which made an examination of
this canal two years ago, reports there
is sufficient water in the river even at
the lowest stage, to meet the demands
of commerce and to supply power for
the several manufacturing establish
ments now located at Oregon City.
District Attorney Hall, reporting on
the legal question, says if the govern
ment desires to acquire this canal, "the,
measure of damage would be the actual
present and prospective value of the
locks, together with the damage suf-
fered by depriving owners OF the right
to take water therefrom for manufac-
turing or other commercial purposes"
Already, based on these reports, Sem
ator Fulton has secured promise from
Representative Jones to endeavor to Sc
cure a provision in the river and har-
Dor bill, now being framed, authorizing
the puchase OF the electric company's
canal after condemnation. Represent
ative Jones will base his demands on
Senator Fulton's bill, which will prob
ably fix the limit of the cost of the
canal at 100000 or $7OO.00O.

Senator Morgan, of Alabama, de-
clares he will oppose to his utmost

ASH FOR FULL AMOUNT.
Oregon Senator's Assured Support
of River and HarbOr Committee.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Senators
Mitchell and Fulton have united in a
letter to Chairman Burton of the Riv-
ers and Harbors Committee, strongly
urging that liberal appropriations be
made for the Columbia river and other
Oregon waterways. They point out
the necessity for securing at this ses-
sion enough money to complete the
jetty at the mouth of the Columbia,
asking for $1,3OO,OOO. They urge the
appropriation of the full amounts rec
commended by Major Langftt for the
Dalles-Celilo canal and all other pro-
jects in which Oregon is Interested
This letter is filed to back up argu-
ments which the Senators have made
orally to Chairman Burton and to Rep
resentative Jones, of Washington, who
is on the committee. Burton and
Jones show great friendliness toward
the Columbia and give assurance
which leads to the belief that ade-
quate amounts will be appropriated.

ratus ever brought to Eastern Oregon,

DEVELOPMENT or LINN COUNTY.
Object of Club That Has Organized
at Albany.

Albany-Tom Richardson, of the
Portland Commercial Club, delivered
an interesting and instructive address
before Albany's business men in the
Grand Opera house. Mr.. Richardson
displayed thorough knowledge OF
methods Of municipal and state devel-
opment, and gave a lucid explanation
of the essentials of success in a COM
mercial organization, and the address
was productive of results.
At the close of his talk Mr.. Richard
son took charge of the organization of
a local commercial body for the devel-
opment of Albany and Linn county. A
number of people pledged IS per
month for the support Of a push club,
others smaller sums, and a committee
of business men was appointed by
Mayor Davis to take charge of the Or
ganization work and secure a member
ship sufficiently large to establish the
club on good financial basis.
1t is the purpose of the organization
to advertise the county and place men
in, the field to work for the develop
ment of Linn county's great resources.
1t was unanimously decided to join the
Oregon Development League and CO.
operate with that body in the develop
ment Of Oregon. The organization
committee was authorized to find a
name for the club and nominate Off
GERS, the nominations to be ratified at
the next meeting, when organization
will be perfected.
Mr.. Richardson was given an in
formal reception at the Alec Club at
the adjournment of the meeting.

OREGON HAS A GOOD FRIEND.
Appropriation for Fair Due to lnfIu.
enCe of the President.

Appropriation for Fair Due to Influ-
enCe of the President.
Washington. Dec. 14.-Oregon has
reason to congratulate itself on having
secured the appropriation fol it's expo
sition at the last session of congress.
1t now appears that the $475, 1000 ap-
propriated for government participa-
ton in the Lewis ar Clark fair is the
last money that congress will expend
for expeditions for many years to come.
The action of the house committee
on expositions in fatty refusing to
make any appropriation whatever for
the jamestown exposition is an indica-
tion that congress has had enough,
and has finally reached the stage where
it will put its foot down. Had it not
been for the interest President Roose-
velt took in the Oregon enterprise
and for the influence which he ex-
erted in behalf OF the Lewis and Clark
appropriation bill Oregon would have
suffered the same blow that has been
dealt to Jamestown.
Congress was just as much opposed
to exposition appropriations year ago
as it is now. out Oregon had friend
at court, and the only friend who could
be of real service.

by Former Eugene Nan.
Pendleton.-A. c. Ruby, formerly of
Eugene, Ore, has purchased the Ore
gon feed yard of this city, and pro-
poses to maintain a distributing depot
for imported horses. He has at his es-
tabllshment 27 horses and six Jack.
asses. The horses are Percherons,
French draft, Belgian shire and coach
stations. Every horse was selected by
him In Europe and shipped to this
country from Germany and France.
The animals are of the gentlest dispo-
sitions, Mr.. Ruby not purchasing any
that showed signs of ill temper.
The animals will be kept at Pendle-
ton, and, as the occasion requires, dis
tributed over Oregon and Washington
The Mclaughlin Bros, of Cincinnati,
proposed to establish a station here,
but finally decided upon Ogden, Utah.
Mr.. Ruby will either purchase resi-
dence property or build and remove
his family to this place, where he will
have permanent headquarters.
This station means much to eastern
Oregon and Washington, not only for
the convenience of it, but for the
material improvement that will be
made in the horses. Until the last few
years little attention to the breeds of
horses was given. Of late years prices
have increased until it pays handsome
ly to raise grade of horses that COM
mand the highest prices in eastern
markets. The day of the cayuse is
past, and the farmers have learned
how much more work can be expected
from a horse of good size than from
small cayuse.
Not only are the farmers demanding
good horses, but are raising mules.
The jacks owned by Mr.. Ruby are
from Missouri, and are much sought
after by breeders.
