Beautif wing the Court Yard.

The County Court House yard pre-
sents very nice appearance this spring.
The fence has been treated to a coat of
paint, the trees have been trimmed and
the large lawn is well kept. The prison
ers confined in the County Jail are kept
at work on the premises and the result is
inexpensive to the county and gratifying
to those of our citizens who have an eye
for orderliness and cleanliness.

And maybe we'll call on Miss Mufett
And maybe--and maybe we'll come

And one little piggie stayed home.

As the little piggie could talk,
So surely well nod in the saddle
And the gallop will come to walk,
And then we will be at the stable,
And tendery horsey will stand

Oh rapturous, radiant amour

WORK FOR THE ASSOCIATION.

In many towns of the size of PEN
dleton, in Canada, it is contrary to
the city ordinances for unoccupied
lots and vacant tracts Of land in the
city to be allowed to go to wreck and
grow up in weeds and be an eyesore
as many such lots and vacant tracts
become in this and other American
cities.
Here is a task for the Commercial
association. Let this body cooperate
with the city council in campaign
for civic cleanliness and good appear
ance. Dozens of scrap heaps in the
city limits should be removed. Dozens
of untidy and forbidding spots should
be put in order, If not voluntarily by
the owners, then at city expense, the
cost to be assessed against the prop
erty
1t is unjust To owners of property
who do keep their premises in order
to permit another owner next door to
depreciate the value of all surround
ing property by his personal careless

WHAT THE PEOPLE WANTED.

Counclmen Swearingen and Murphy
and Mayor Matlock are to be especial
ly complimented in their opposition
to the gas monopoly as proposed and
supported by the Northwestern Gas &
Electric company and several MEM
bers Of the council against the best
interests of the city.
1t was due to the actions of these
men and the agitation of the people
through the columns of the East Ore
CONAN that the franchise was radically
changed from its first form to the
form in which it was finally passed
The main contentious of the East
Oregonian were conceded by the COM
pany's representative and with the
notifications suggested by this paper
the franchise was passed by the
council.
From the beginning Of the agitation
Swearingen, Murphy and Matlock
have opposed the outright monopolist-
ic measure proposed by the company
and have stood by the people and it
was through their refusal to sign away
the rights and privileges of the munic-
ipaIty that the company was defeated
in its designs upon the city.
As the franchise was finally formu-
iated it gives the people chance for
their lives. If prices of production
nuctuate, the cost Of gas to the con-
sumer can be changed to suit cOndi-
tions, and II, after the plant is estab-
lished, the people desire to take it
over. they have that privilege.
This is radical democratic proviso
to be accepted by such rampant
monopolists as are managing this con-
cern and it was a victory that the
people may well be proud Of.
As to the lies and misrepresenta-
the East Oregonian desires to say that
the editor of the Tribune is not to
blame for those.
He is in the hands of a corrupt and
Inscriptions gang which compels
him to act the fool against his better
judgment.

UNHAPPY MILTON.

The poor. deluded. misguided peo-
ole Of Milton are to be pited, accord
ing to the ignoramus who writes an
occasional editorial for the Morning
Tribune Of this city. They have in
rested their mony in municipal cleo
tric lighting plant and according to
the Tribune it would be better for
tkem had they thrown their money in
the well.
Municipal lighting plants, accord
ing TO the Tribune, are frightful things
for a city to deal in. They are un-
profitable, impracticable, unsatisfying
tNEgs-they should be left for wise"
corporations 10 own and manage.
Corporations are willing to sacrifice
themselves for the public good, you
know. and since there is no profit in
municipal lighting plants. cities should
per--.it the public-spirited corporations
to bear the loss.

wisdom back OF her venture. She is
now furnishing her people with light
at rates as per cent lower than PEN
dleton, where corporate wisdom in this
line has reached a sublime and unap-
proachable climax in the manage
ment
The people of Chicago are not all
fools They will compare favorably
to corporation managers in remote
towns and know their business fully
as well. They have decided that
municipal ownership of il the great
utilities is the proper thing.
New York is filled with men as bril-
liant as any connected with the Trib-
une, either in the capacity of flunkey
or gas editor and they have voted
strongly for public ownership Of pub
lie utilities

REMEMBER THE MORMON.

Let US curse the Mormon for his
polygamy, if we will. Let us belittle
his belief in prophets and seers and
in laying on of hands and in Joe
Smith.
But before the Gentle dominated
Salt Lake City it was a decent and
moral city. The Mormon believed in
municipal righteousness and enforced
his beliefs in III Mormon capital.
Gentle activity and Gentle domina-
ton have been signals for a retrogres-
sion from the Mormon standard Of
civic morals. In old Mormon days
there were no saloons, no gambling
no social evil in Salt Lake City. 1t
was founded upon decent lines and
maintained upon those lines until the
unspeakable corruption Of party poll
tics crept in to undermine the founda-
tions of the city government
Polygamy, prophets, seers. supersti-
tion, Joe Smith-let US swallow the
entire Mormon dose rather than the
Gentle saloon and gamblers, and the
social evil which thrives under the
wings and through the support of
these

WILL MANKIND PERISH FROM
THIRSTY

Scientists are able to point out vari-
Gus tendencies and movements on the
part of the planet earth and its peo-
pie which may result in the destruc-
don of human life by overcrowding,
starvation, cold, heat or thirst.
For centuries Biblical students,
starting from the promise of Noah
that mankind would not again be
swept away by flood, derived from
other texts the opinion that the "end
Of the world" would be by fire. The
largest collection of facts bearing on
the point is probably in the works of
Prince Kropotkin, and relate to the
Russian empire and some of its Asiatic
neighbors.
Explorations in Central Asia have
shown beyond question that vast areas
now desert were once fertile. Lakes
and rivers which within historic times
were important factors i'm commerce
have disappeared or are disappearing.
The Siberian lakes have shrunk since
the eighteenth century. NovgOrod,
the great market town of the Volga
region, owed its early Importance to
its protection from Mongol raids by
vast marshes, which have gone dry
without any large effort to drain
them.
In Africa, Lake Tchad, which loom
ed so large in the tales OF early ex-
plorers, is now a half-dried water bed.
Lake Chiroua. TO the southwest of
Nyassa, has gone from the map.
Lake Ngami, discovered by Livings-
tone, and then navigable, has ceased
to exist. And in Australia, Lake Eyre,
to mention only the largest water
body. has greatly lost in size in so
years. In Europe no such great
change can be noted, although Spain
is certainly drier than it used to be.
In America no such startling
changes are recorded, though IT is
manifest that such rivers as the Ohio
now flow less regularly. if not less
copiously, owing to the destruction of
forests about their headwaters. And
here is the practical point Of such
collections of data as Mr.. Whitby and
others have made on this subject.
To speculate upon the ultimate end
on earth of the human race, and
whether it is destined to die of thirst,
is TO reach so far into the future that
no conclusion of practical utility can
be drawn. But it is perfectly plain
that If this and other nations wish to
avoid the inconveniences of an irregu
lar. and probably diminishing water
| supply. they must take care of their
/ forests.-Chicago Inter-Ocean.

ADVOCATES CHINESE DIET.

If the efforts of Miss Alice NJ. Full
Ter, lecturer on domestic science, are
successful the principles of Chinese
cookery will soon be introduced into
American culinary art, and this ma

pepsia. Miss Fuller recently gave to
her pupils in the high school in

Fuller to the New York Herald, "are

Island, owned by a Chinese compa-

JAPAN'S WAR DEBT.

Japan's national debt has risen rap
idly on account of the war with
Russia, and the annual interest
charge now amounts to $4,000, 900.
This is a good deal of money for a
comparatively poor nation like Japan,
and there are predictions that she will
find her debt heavy burden.
Predictions regarding national debts
have often been remembered to the
ridicule of those who made them, as
was Swift's exclamation. "The allies
have ruined us!" when the English
national debt rose to 100000 900.
Later, when the debt mounted to
f140,000,0O0. "Junius" declared that
the English people could never pay it.
Today 1t is $4,000, 100000, but England
continues to worry along.
At the close of the civil war the ma
tlonal debt of the Urited States carried
interest to the amount of $150,OO0,-
900 a year, or twice the amount now
paid by Japan, and the population of
the United States was only 34,0O0,O0O,
whereas that of Japan is 44,OOO,OO0.
by 1880 the interest charge of the
American debt had been cut in half,
partly by refunding, but largely by
paying off the debt 1t is now only
$24, 900.
Japan is on the eve o. making
money faster than she ever did at any
previous period of her career as ma
tion. Her emperor showed good sense
in bringing the war to a close, for had
it gone much further Japan would
have suffered from the exhaustion
