We no longer tolerate slowness. It has become one of the sins to be avoid ed, says the Washington Post. We do not write. because the telephone puts us into instant communication with the distant friend. We do not walk, because we can save time by hurrying along in the electric car. We do not spend time in mental retrospection, be- cause while we are absorbed in thought the crowd is rushing by and leaving us in the rear. In other words, the philosopher is now almost extinct. The man who does not hustle is not only the exception to the rule. but he is soon apt to become an object of his neighbours pity. If he does not help himself he will soon have to be helped.

JOHNNY LET GO.

President Roosevelt, on one of his hunting tours in the Adirondacks, spent a very long day ill restless pur- suit of big game. By the time success had finally justified the chase, he made the discovery that he was very hun !gry man. At his urgent request, the guide conducted the party to the near est inn the wilderness afforded. The journey was not a brief one, and, by the time the modest hostelry was reached, Mir Roosevelt was still more, hungry.
 When informed that the only fare obtainable at the establishment was corned beef and cabbage, involuntar- ily he made use of the expression which has long been famous:
 "Delightedr'
 Amusement was created in the presl- dential party when the chief executive. whose identity had been kept a secret, was given a seat at the family board. Ii was increased when huge portions of corned beef and cabbage were passed from the head of the table where sat the host. The first plate To make it's appearance was heaped very high. It reached a small boy and got no further. The president sighed to express his envy and disappointment.
 Johnny, exclaimed the host, sharp lv. .'thet bent fer you; thet be Ter the stranger"
 Much to the amusement of all, the president seized the rim Of the plate on one side while Johnny held me other.
 There was a moment of doubt
 Then the president. softly. and with A twinkle in bis eye, but with inexor- able decision. leaned over and spoke into the red. resentful face of the hun gry boy:

 Johnny let go.-Success.

Representative Marsh sin the house of representatives accused the teachers of Waterbury who voted against the pension bill of not knowing very much. However, by their votes they proved there was no "huggermuggery" in theirs. And the votes of the teachers represent the feelings of the people at large. Our own representative Blakes- lee made the bald and bold statement that the poole of Waterbury wanted the bill MT Blakeslee hasn't leg to stand on when he makes such a statement. Even though it is bad legislation" said the senior representative, i've want it." Tis well that those who knew better stepped in and showed the Waterbury republicans and the people of the state at large that we do not want any such measure foisted on the people Of this peaceful community
 How two intelligent, honest, upright citizens of any community can go be- fore the legislature and make such statements, when they have not par ticle of backing, is hard to see, and the only conclusion one can arrive at is that they were hypnotized by Su- perintendent Tinker, and being good republicans, they groped in the dark and talked as he suggested. In other words, MT Tinker ''huggermuggered' the representatives. but they couldn't play the same game on the legislature.

No Place Like Umatilla.

George Warburton, an old-time res
ident and successful farmer In the
Cold Springs country. firing of Una

would try Idaho, with the result that
he is perfectly satisfied he made a
mistake and is willing to acknowledge
1t, says the Echo News. Mr.. Warbur-
ton was unloading his large farming
outfit of stock and implements from
the cars this morning, and told us that
he had tried Idaho but was glad to
get back to his old haunts. He fur

there are better locations than this
county some other place, to stay at
home, thus saving the lost time and

UNION DESIRABLE
CONSOLIDATION OF
STOCK ASSOCIATIONS.
james II. Gwinn, Secretary of the Ma
tional Association, Wen Pleased
With Results-Associatio viii Now
Agitate for a Biennial Livestock
Census In Order to Keep Stoclmen
Posted ON Conditions.

That the union of the National
Livestock association and the Ameri-
can association which is to take place
in Denver on January 30, Is most de-
sirable. is evidenced by the following
letter from James H. Gwinn, secretary
of the National Livestock association,
who brought the two associations to-
gether In a meeting of the executive
committees some time in October. Mr..
Gwinn says:
Denver, Col, Nov. S.-(Editor East
Oregonian. 1.-The press of the entire
country has been almost unanimous
in indorsing the union Of the two live
stock associations, and there is no
question but that 1t was very wise
move-taking into consideration the
number of important matters that are
pressing at the present time in the
way of national LEGISLATION needed,
and larger appropriations for in
spection and experimental stations,
and one of the most important things
that we do desire, and that the stock
industry needs, is census at least
biennially, so as to be able in a meas
ure, to try to govern the supply as to
the demand.
At present 1t is guess work on the
part of everybody, and this works a
hardship on the industry both in times
of large supply and small demand as
in times of small supply and large
demand.
The agricultural interests, such as
corn and meat and the cotton indus
try of the south are looked after
fairly carefully. and the statistics and
data are compiled by the government
officials, and we see no reason why
just as close interest should not be
taken as far as the stock industry is
concerned.
You have doubtless noticed that we
are getting some response from Ger
many as the outcome of the reciproc-
| ity conference held in Chicago, and
there is no reason why. from the at
titude that Germany is taking at
present, that we cannot consummate a
reciprocal relation with them, and
thus give us a larger outlet for the
over supply of cattle that we evidently
have on hand; this is greatly to be de-
sired for some of the lines and grades
of cattle have shown scarcely any i'm
provement, and in fact, in most cases
are not as good as last year.
Taking into consideration the larg'
amount of inferior cattle that hav,
been sent to the markets this fall, th'
cattlemen everywhere should make al
, extra effort to improve the qualit.
: of their stock as it is demonstrate,
, every day in the markets that higl
bred stuff is what is in demand an,
. what brings the price.

Umatilla Indian pony being distinct
and unique breed. has furnished the
greatest possibilities in this line.
Other tribes of Indians have ponies
which would be much cheaper than
the Umatilla ponies since they are
nearer to his farm at Santa Barbara.
but no other breed of Indian ponies
combines the beautiful outlines and
freakish colors with nerve and spirit,
and so for this reason these ponies are
purchased for this odd industry and
shipped nearly 1000 miles in prefer

This statement will no doubt prove
unwelcome news to "A large majority
of the people of Condor and vicinity
who had taken 1t for granted that the
project was practically assured.
The proposition from the sisters
was that If the town would put up $3,-

to cost not less than $4,000. In order
to carry on the work it is necessary
for the sisters to negotiate Il loan in

subscription paper was started
here to secure $4,000 asked for from
the town and after three weeks or
more about $4,000 has been subscribed
and while those in charge of the paper
believe that eventually the full amount
may be secured the work was so slow
and the interest so lacking that when
the bishop learned of the situation he
remarked that evidently the people
of Condor do not want a hospital" ="
and declined to give his further en-
dorsement to the project. Father
Kelly is now in Portland comforting
with the bishop and on the result of
that conference depenus the fate of
the hospital.
A few years ago when a similar in
stitution was projected at Heppner, the
town was asked for $4,000 and the
amount was raised in less than "a
hours. They got the hospital. People
say today that Condor is a better town

good that other $500 should be forth
