A ROAD WILL PAY.

When the Sumpter Valley railroad
was started out of Baker City. it was
intended to make 1t simply logging
road with which to supply the large
sawmill at Baker. Beginning Is miles
from Baker and extending into the
interior for 100 miles are pine forests
which will keep the Baker City mills
busy for many years to come.
So the Sumpter Valley railroad paid
= dividend from the beginning.
Now let us consider such an enter
prise in Pendleton.
A railroad starting south from Pen
dleton would traverse settled and
highly productive country from the
very borders of Pendleton. while the
sumpter Valley built about Is miles

countered soon, in running south
which, like the belt tributary 20 Ra
ker. would support mill of 100000
feet capacity here for years to come.
Such a sawmill with its accompany

REVIVAL OF BUDDHISM.

Der Buddhist" the German organ
Of Buddhism, gives an interesting ac-
count of the revival of this ancient
religion. The study of the Pail, 1t
says, has revealed to educated men in
the western world the hidden stores Of
Buddhism, which soon began to exert
constantly growing influence on
western thought, having found the
ground prepared by the philosophy Of
Schopenhauer. This revlvificatlon of
buddhist Ideas reacted powerfully on
the orient, and newly founded socie-
ties. schools and newspapers in Bud
ihist Asia are proving that fresh vigor
has found its way into the old tree.
The revival is especially noticeable in
Ceylon and India.

1t is now up to the voters to select

WHAT THE SEEKER POUND.

In the sunrise OF life youth said:
''I will attain greatness l will mount
to the highest places above the grow
cling throng and wealth, power and
happiness shall be added unto me-"
In the flush of the morning he
strove for all those things. AT high
noon he had acquired wealth, and in
the afternoon power and fame came
TO him. II was as he had said, save
that he. with all the generations OF
men. found no happiness There had
been friendships and smiles and hand
clasps and embraces, but none OF
these things secured for him the thing
ne sought.
In the evening he sat by an open
grave and pondered. Wayfarers saw
him there and wondered much. He
is one OF the mighty OF earth" they
said "Ie has lands and tenements
and goods. He has friends and serv-
itors and fawning sycophants about
him. Though we seek in vain. he
must have found happiness"
They could not know that his pal
aces sheltered blasted hopes, that
tares grew in his gardens, that the
acclaim of the mob tangled harshly
In his ears. They did not see his
yearning, the dead dreams within him,
the ashes In his heart.
His search had ended in an open
grave. He drew his mantle about him
and descended into it, while the pass
ing throng swirled by.
At last, and without his knowledge,
he had found that happiness which
ne long had sought.-San Francisco
Examiner.

The automobile, costing from $1,000
to $4,000 is not likely to come into
general use, but in the east, 1t has
accomplished valuable purpose in
creating a good roads sentiment. The
farmers have long needed better roads
but from lack of organization they
failed to awaken q general public in
terest. The auto people have called
so much attention TO the need Of bet
ter public thoroughfares that great
things are now on the eve of accom-
pIishment in that direction. The New
York legislature appropriated $780,
100000 to be used entirely in the
making of good roads. Other eastern
states have been equally liberal. Even
in the middle west legislative appro-
priations have been secured that will
start the good work.
