NOW FOR PAVEMENT.

The best exhibit Pendleton can
make to the passing homeseeker is
10 pave Main street from the bridge to
Bluff street, as partially determined
by the city council last night.
No other exhibit would speak such
volumes to the prospective investor
as this.
Property owners all along Main
street should be heartily in favor of
this plan. Speaking for itself the
East Oregonian is delighted to see
this work begin and has long agitat-
ed such a move. 1t would have paved
the street abutting it's property years
ago. had adjoining property holders
been willing to undertake the work
Then after deciding to pave the
streets. cause every property owner
20 place concrete sidewalks In front
of the buildings. The day OF the
wooden sidewalk on main streets is
past. 1t is almost as antiquated as
a clapboard roof among the BRICK
blocks of a modern city.
Then after deciding definitely tc
pave the street, make some provision
for park or a resting place and
resort for the people in the summer
evenings. The $40 reward for a pub
lie seat in Pendleton is still posted.

THE THRUST OF A COWARD.

An alleged commercial traveller, /
speaking to the Baker City Herald |
about Ashland. from the standpoint
of a temperance town, says that while |
there are no saloons in Ashland, that
drunkenness is more prevalent than
when saloons were allowed and that
the drug stores sell whiskey by the
barrel.
This is the testimony of a moral
coward and prejudiced liar. In the
first place, a letter published in the
East Oregonian from NJ. H. Lee, of
this county, and written from Ash
land few days ago, spoke emphati-
cally of the good moral conditions
of Ashland and had there been any
drunkenness noticeable it would have
been mentioned by this correspon-
dent who was looking over Southern
Oregon for a place to locate perma-
nently.
In the second place, Ashland is
railroad town and every year the
companies are shutting down more
closely upon drunkenness and it was
the railroad men themselves who
made prohibition possible in Ashland.
The fact that railroad companies
publicly post rules against employees
even frequenting saloons, habitually,
is a striking testimony to the public
that the traffic is dangerous, else
railroad companies would not care
for drunken engineers and conductors
handling the lives of the public. If
it is dangerous for this class of en-
ployes, why not for others?
In the next place drug stores do
not furnish loafing place where
crowds may gather and soak up"
gradually. A man who buys liquor
at drug store usually takes it home
ana if there is any evil effects from
that bottle it is confined to the drink
er's home and is not paraded on the
street
And even If Ashland drug stores
do sell more whiskey tnan before
the saloon was abolished, prohibition
has not reduced the peach crop, thu
mineral wealth, the lumber traffic
the apple yield. nor the shipment o
hogs and cattle to San Francisco
markets, upon which Ashland de
pends for it's support.

communities needing capital yet the
ultimate and chief object of the in

What a long time it has required
to bring Portland to her senses in
these matters! Had she begun send
ing out such letters 20 years ago, and
had she followed them up with ac-
tual capitalists looking for invest
ments, oregon would now have 1000
600 population and 5000 miles of rail-
road reaching into every nook and
corner and the valuation of property
of the state would be SS00,OO0,OO0
instead of less than 100000.
Does Portland really mean it? IT
is too good to believe.

FLAT IRON
Now Being Introduced IN Pendleton
From All Others.

II. p. Carver Manufacturing Co.,
of Racine, Wis, have their represen-
tatives in the city canyassing for one
of the very latest and most improved
smoothing irons and polishers ever
invented. 1t is a unique contrivance
that is attractive as well as it is use
full There are many varieties and
kinds of flat irons in existence, but
this is something entirely different
of any that has yet been put on the
market.
The exterior is a nickle-plated box
resembling the original flat iron,
highly polished. The iron proper is
inside of this box and is maleable
chunk, weighing less than three
pounds. 1t is made with space in the
center to prevent it's expansion be-
yond the cavity in which it is de-
signed to work and at the same time
radiates all the heat that is possible.
1t is so made that 1t can be placed
in the open fire and heated to red
heat.
When it is put inside of the nickle-
plated enclosure it holds the heat for
period of 80 minutes and the metal
of the enclosure is oxidized so that
the heat, while it is very intense,
does not radiate, and there is no more
warmth than comes from the ordi-
nary flat iron when hot enough to be
used. One side of the iron is finished
for a polisher and does all kinds OF
work in that line as neatly as any
laundry in the city.
It is reversible and one side car
be used as we'll as the other.
1t is a contrivance that unquestion
ably meets a long felt want and II
its own best recommendation.
} Agents are now canvassing the cit!
and expect to open headquarters TO
the remainder of the season.

WHAT MAKES SKY BLUE?
Various Scientific Theories Are Ad-
vanced to Account for the
. Phenomenon.

The sky has long been a puzzle to
physicists. There are two mysteries
to explain about tits reflection OF
light and it's color, says the Success Mag
azine. The old view was that the blue
of the sky was due simply to atmos-
pheric oxygen. Oxygen has a faint
blue tint, and the idea was that several
miles of the gas, even when diluted, as
it is in the air, would have bright
blue color. But this did not accoun,
for the intense illumination of the sky
and Of recent years Tyndalls dust
theory" or some modification of it, has
been generally accepted. This regards
the blue color as an optical effect, like
the color Of very thin smoke, due to
excessively fine particles floating in the
air, which would also account for the
large proportion of reflected light from
the sky. Recent calculations by Prof
Spring, of Liege, Belgium, however, in
dictate that the dust in the air is not
sufficient in amount, nor finely enough
divided, to support this explanation, and
he rejects it for this and other rea-
sons. He has gone back to the old
oxygen theory, and accounts for the
general illumination of the sky on the
hypothesis, first advanced by Hagen
bach, that intermingled layers of differ
ent density, in the atmosphere, give it
the power of rejecting light.

ALL HORSES HATE cAMELS.
Circus Man Tells About the Singular
Antipathies of Certain
Animals.

Smoking a clay pipe, the circus actor
sat in the winter training quarters. I'm
der his supervision a thin boy was learn
ing to ride erect on a quiet horse with
broad, fiat back, says the Philadelphia
Bulletin.
In some towns they won't let us
show" said the man, unless we have
no camels with us. Camels are a Sc
rlous drawback to shows. Horses are
so much afraid of them that lots of
towns won't let a camel enter their
gates.
A horse won't go near a piece OF
ground camel has stood on. The very
smell of a camel in the air will make
a horse tremble and sweat And this
fear isn't only found occasionally in a
horse here and there. 1t is found in
every horse all over the world. Queer,
isn't it? l often wonder why it is.
Cattle hate dogs in the same way, and
cats hate dogs so, too. Here, though,
We can account for the hatred. Dogs
in primitive times fed on cattle, no
doubt, and even to-day, here and there,
they kill and feed On kittens.
Horses love dogs. I'm sure don't
know why. Dogs fear no animals but
pumas and leopards. You can take a
dog up to lions Or tigers cage and
he will show no fear, but take him up to
the cage of puma or leopard and he
will tremble and moan and, stink away
out of sight.
All very puzzling, isn't it?''

JAPAN'S CIVILIZATION.
Formerly Called Barbarians, But the
People Have Won a Differ
emit Title.

When the war began, whatever was
the opinion of travellers, and those
specially informed, the world in gen.
eral regarded the Japanese as oriental
barbarians. The judgment was based
on plausible reasoning, says the New
York Globe. AS the present year is
only the thirty seventh of the Meiji era,
and as before Meiji Japan, practi-
cally untouched by western influence,
was as she had been for 1000 years,
it was impossible for Japanese re-
generation to be genuine. However
fair the semblance of civilization, it
was only veneer, We were told; mere
aping, which should not deceive. In
the stress of war, it was predicted, the
oriental would cast aside his assumed
occidental garb and reveal himself in
his true character-as cowardly and
cruel, tOrturer of prisoners, a muir
derer of women and children, and a
mutilator of the dead. Whether the
Japanese are to win the war or not,
they have effectively exploded this
theory in regard to themselves. If they
are barbarians, many nations esteem
ing themselves civilized may probably
go to school to them. -
