Company CA Draws the Bonds OF
Comradeship Closer.
After Dinner Speeches Prove the
Merit of the Occasion.

It is doubtful if there is a place in
the state that has shown the real
spirit of Memorial Day better than
has the city of New Ulm. The crown
ing feature of the day and that which
shows the true spirit of real comrade-
ship is the one that has become a fix
:ture in the days observ ance here and
that is the banquet that is spread for
the old soldiers and given to them by
the members of Co. "a
Upon this occasion as we'll as upon
previous ones the members of the post
and the members of Burg's battery as
we'll as the Second Regiment band We're
all seated in the armory and partook
of the spread prepared for them.
At the conclusion of the banquet,
the POSTMASTER, Gen, Bobleter, arose
and proposed toast to VIM. Pfaender,
whose illness prevented him from being
presentfor the first time in many years.
1t was drunk in the heartiest good
will
He then called upon Mayor Silver
son for the city, Jacob Klossner for
the G.. A. r. Post, B. Marschner for
the ladies of Hecker Circle, j. j. Green
for the defenders of New Ulm, P.
Liesch for the press, Lieutenant Pfaen-
der for Co. A, VIM. Koch for the
battery, John Henle for the band,
Capt. Bayley for the ladies and Prof.
Alderman, who was allowed to choose
his own subject.
Mr.. Ackermann surprised Gen. Bob
Letter by devoting his time to a we'll
merited eulogy of the POSTMASTER and
at the conclusion proposing toast to
him. Mr.. Bobleter explained later that
there was no collision between himself
and the professor and the meeting
broke up amid the utmost good will
| and goodfellowship. .
These dinners cost the company no
small amount of money as the meal
that is served is a good one and drinks
are served with it also cigars, and the
company is deserving of all the COM
pliments that the speakers Of the oc-
casion were disposed to give them. 1t
is feature that grows stronger as the
years pass and has become recog-
nized part of the days observance.

LOOKING TO PORTLAND.

Harney. Grant, Baker and Umatilia
counties are all filled with fat cattle
but there is no market.
Never before have range and wa
ter been so plentiful in the noun
tain districts, and never before have
such droves Of beeves been made
ready for the block as this year, but
there is no demand, no price for them.
What will these counties do? Is 1t
worth while to look to Portland and
hope for relief in a packing plant that
will handle this great resource of the
range districts? Or will they become
discouraged and quit growing cattle,
and allow the industry to dwindle and
stagnate until within a few years we
will be shipping fat cattle from Ne
braska, Wyoming and Kansas?
Really the industry is in the balance
and Portland can save it to the state
or drive it out of existence, just as her
Commercial club and other CONNER
cial organizations decide. A packing
plant in the metropolis will solve the
problem and multiply the number OF
beeves produced in Eastern Oregon.
It now depends on Portland. The
cattleman can do nothing further,
He has produced the goods.

POSSIBILITIES OF BOYCOTT.

The Chinese boycott of American
goods will doubtless have much to do
with the disposal of the 1905 wheat
crop Of Umatilla county.
II the boycott continues and
American wheat and flour are refused
by China, 1t will shift the current Of
trade to the eastward, and, while
Canada will supply to the Orient the
wheat and flour formerly supplied by
America, yet western wheat growers
will send their surplus to Minneapolis,
Duluth, Montreal and even to Euro
pean millers whose Canadian supply
will have been cut off, by the new ex-
port trade with China.
II this condition works out in this
way, western wheat will go higher
than It is now. If the flood of west
ern wheat turns eastward to Ameri-
can mills in the east and south, prices
will get beyond control of the North
west combination of buyers and the
demand, and not the combination, Will
fix the prices.
II, however, China does not pursue

Everybody's Magazine for September
DEATH OF MERIwETHER LEWIS

one of the most famous episodes of
the "Natchez Trace" is thus described d
by John Swain in the September
Everybody's:
"A century ago ther was no more
promising youth in America than
Meriwether Lewis. After a brilliant
career as IA soldier, he had been ap-
pointed private secretary to President
jefferson, and had shown himself sn
trustworthy, so energetic, so resource
full. that when jefferson determined 20
make an exploration of the great ter
ritory he was just purchasing, he Sc
lected Lewis as the one to accom-
plish it,
six years later in 1909, his bril-
liant feat accomplished-he was even
then but 35 years old-Lewis left his
beloved west for the last time and set
out for Washington to confer with the
president. He crossed the Mississippi
at the Chickasaw Bluffs, where Mem
phis now stands, and taking Indian
trails southeasterly, struck the Trace
at the crossing of the Tennessee
river, in Lauderdale county, Ala. He
came alone, on the night of october
II to the stand or tavern of Robert
Grinder above the crossing of Little
Swan, 70 miles from Nashville. A
heavy storm was raging. In the night
the women in an adjoining building
heard a shot In the morning Lewis
was found dying, a pistol beside him.
Grinder circulated the report that
Lewis had shot himself, and the ex-
plorer was buried beside the road
close to the tavern. At Washington
then. and by many historians since
Grinders story has been believed, but
by the settlers of that vicinity and by
the women who lived at Grinders
only one opinion was ever entertained
that Grinder had murdered him for
his money. Grinder, at any rate, was
known to have money in his posses
sion after Lewis death. He sold Out
his place and moved away. But the
fame of Lewis has been blotted to this
day by the story that he took his owr
life in fit of melancholia. For 4C
years his grave remained unmarked
Then the Tennessee legislature appro'
priated $500 for a monument; the
bones were dug up and identified; ar
irregular county having the grave as
it approximate center. was named
Lewis, and a few acres about the
monument set aside for park Since
then nothing has been done to care
for it, but the broken column stands
as it was placed beside the forsaker
road"

POLITICS VERSUS BUSINESS.

sam w. Cowan, a brilliant and YER
satile lawyer and orator of Texas who
is a delegate from his state to the rec
iprocity congress now in session in
Chicago, brought down the house"
yesterday, when he thunuered across
the auditorium that 'if the delegates
to this convention are not willing to
surrender politics to business inter-
ests they might better have stayed at
home"
American industries are suffering
under the ban of foreign guarantees
and boycotts, and if Americans in ses-
sion in their own country cannot sur
render petty political intrigue long
enough to make a concerted and en-
phatic protest against this discrimina-
tion, truly they are wasting their time
in holding conventions.
Germany has barred all American
meat products, thus depriving Ameri-
cans of millions of dollars per year,
and yet when Americans meet to come
to terms with Germany. petty politics
must creep in. TO say what political
party shall &-y. She honor of propos-
ing satisfactory terms and what po-
H,ical stamp. measures of reciprocity
shall bear.
Until Americans can put politics
under their heel, during business
hours. they must expect to be discrim-
mated against and snubbed by for
eign countries which make CONNER
cial interests and not petty politics,
the basis Of their treaties and agree
ments.
All portions and parties of the
United States are interested in secur-
ing reciprocity with Germany and
other European countries which have
made tariff and quarantine barriers
against American goods and it is a
cheap and narrow lot of delegates
which will not be willing to follow the
lead of the gallant Texan and leave
politics at home until the business
deal is made,
In the reciprocity congress, how
ever. it is noticeable that the tariff
extremists hold the upper hand and a
fair and equitable trade treaty with
Germany will be impossible under
their dictates. The big manufacturers
who have been made multi-million-
aires from American tariffs are In
charge of the convention and they are
not the fellows to surrender any OF
their gratis for the interests Of the
American stockman or farmer, whose
products are barred from European
markets.

LAW AND ORDER IN MEMPHIS.

we are clad to note the fact that
the Memphis News-Scimitar mas
come out boldly on the side Of sun
day enforcement of the law In Mem
phis. and that 1t Is making strong
fight for reformation. We are glad
also to see that the News-Sclmitar
has learned a whole lot about the
liouor business that great many pa
pers either do not know or quletN
ignore. II has learned that the sa-
loon business is not public bless
ing and has decided not to accept any
moro liouor advertisements. II has
also learned that whenever a newspa-
per or politician advocates the en-
forcement of the law regulating sa-
Ioors tho whole liquor element be-
comes offended Yet, we are glad TO
note that the News-Scimitar mas
learned these and many other things
ana has taken a bold stand for Ia"
and order.-Hope Gazette.
We are pleased that Brother FOL
som has promptly commended the
News -Scimitar's course. 1t is GER
tainly gratifying that there is at least
one daily newspaper that comes from
one of the many large cities that re-
CARDS the right enough to antngonize
the monster evils of the day. Doubt
less every moral and religious person
viii praise the News-Scmitar for Its
righteous course, but that's not SUI
ficient-it should receive substantial
encouragement If that were done
not only would that paper battle fear
lessly and successfully, but other
dailies would thereby be emboldened
to espouse the cause of civic right
eousness.-Ozark Democrat.

BIG MEN ARE NOT BIG.

One would suppose that DR.. Josiah
Strong of New York, man of world
wide notoriety in charity and human
itarian lines, and Rev. Charles NJ.
Sheldon of Kansas, whose limitations
of the Nazarene in business and pri-
vate life have been the freaks of the
religious world of the present decade,
were both great big. broad, splendid,
tolerant men, on whom the human
dogmas had no effect
But such is not the case, it would
seem.
Both have refused to speak at the
auditorium at the Lewis and Clark
exposition because the Trail amuse-
ments are open on Sunday. Both
came across the continent to speak at
the fair. They have been advertised
to make addresses and thousands OF
people have made special arrange
ments to hear them at the fair. But
because OF llt tDull - lolulhS tiHN N'4
Trail could remain open, they disap-
point all those who have awaited theii
coming.
Because the devil may have beer
turned loose on the Trail, did that
drive God from the auditorium? Is
religion so feeble and shadowy q
thing that its sacred tenets and at
tributes are in any way affected by
the presence of evil? Would 1t moi
seem that where evil is greatest
there should be the strongest effort
of the right? Because the Trail was
opened on Sunday, was not an excuse
for a minister to refuse to uphold the
right but rather it should be a tex
for a stronger and more bold defiance
of the evil. at its own threshold.
Rather than disappoint the entire
country which has awaited these men
they should have made the auditorium
ring with their denunciations o.
wrong. instead Of running away from
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-08-18

What shall be thought or said of
newspaper published in town of g.
600 inhabitants, one nearly 40 years
old, i'm prosperous agricultural
country, that declares there is not
even a foundation yet laid upon which
morality can rest, and that such a
thing as decent, respectable civic gov
ernment does not exist? Verify, in
frontier towns where such conditions
prevailed as are hinted at by the
Tribune, men have been drummed or
ridden out of town, if not treated
worse. for less offenses that this
against the community.
What sort of representations con-
corning Pendleton are these to go
forth to the world? That education,
religion and culture are but slightly
and feebly developed that morality is
entirely wanting, and that civil gov
ernment is i'm the embryo state. What
eastern or for that matter western
man except some gambler or other
criminal would go near Pendleton If
he supposed these representations
were true? We of the west mostly
know they are false, but some of the
educated" and cultured" people Of
the east, If any of them were to
chance upon this wonderful produc-
ton, might not.
But let us be as lenient as we can.
The writer was trying to excuse a
wide-open town in respect of gam
bling and n-days-a-week and "a
h urs day saloons. 1t was hard
proposition. and ADLER newspapers
than the Tribune have tried and failed
to make it decent and tasteful to the
public.

COLONIES FOR UNEMPLOYED,

In Germany colonies for unemploy-
ed working men make pauperism un-
necessary. In each city are great
buildings occupied by union offices,
where seekers after work go and reg
lister. They bathe, have their cloth
ing dlsinfected, and, If the unions
have no work for them in the cities
the country, where they work at land
they are sent to the farm colonies in
reclamation, agriculture, and other
productive occupations. The unions
are open to all and provide, besides
opportunities for workers, old-age
pensions, accident insurance and other

her silly course in boycotting Ameri-
can wheat and flour, the bulk of west
ern wheat will go to the Orient and
the combination which handles the
export trade of the Pacific coast will
keep prices where they are now, or
even lower.
The future prices of the 1906 crop
in Umatilla county depend entirely
upon the course of the Chinese boy
colt. If the export trade is supplied
by Canada, it will shift the entire
commercial currents of the country.
Canadian wheat will stop flowing to
American mills in the northern and
eastern states, and will be directed
across the Pacific to supply Oriental
markets.
And upon this sudden change in the
direction of the Canadian wheat traf-
fic, American wheat will Immediately
change its course from the Orient to
the American mills along the Cana
dian border.
1t will be better for the railroads
and steamships if the boycott con-
tinues. 1t will make longer hauls of
wheat in both directions and will
stimulate business wherever there is
railroad or steamship line, as both
countries will be active in securing
trade both in the Orient and at
home

WESTERN INTELLIGENCE is
COARSELY INSULTED.

The Pendleton Tribune, comment
ing upon the efforts that have been
made in that town to close saloons on
sundays and suppress gambling,
makes these curious remarks;
''The west is the west Western
communities are not like older towns
Of the east. Education has not reach
ed the stages of the east. Churches
are not so strong. Culture is confined
to the few. The foundations for main
tanning the structures of high morali-
ty are not vet laid. The frog of civic
government is yet in the tadpole stage
and requires the tail to sustain exist
ence, But the west is growing. 1t
is getting better every day. Conditions
may sometimes stir the sensitive
hearts of the eastern bred, but to the
westerner, whose heart and soul is in
the west and who knows conditions
from the border period to the present
time, we are doing we'll"
We cannot help wondering If the
man who wrote and published these
remarks was not ashamed of himself
when he saw them in cold print, says
the Oregon Daily Journal. And if he
was not we are greatly mistaken If a
majority of his readers were not
ashamed of him, and indignant at
him.
one thing about these statements
that justifies such a feeling is their
falsity There are as many educated
and as well educated people in pro-
portion to population in the west as in
the east-even more. The percentage
of iriteracy in Oregon is lower than
in almost any state in the union. We
have just as good schools as towns of
similar size back east have. and as
many and as good churches. There
is also as much true culture" Per-
haps there is not quite so much affec-
tation and dissemblance as one may
find in some centers of so-called cul-
ture; money is not yet worshipped
quite so much as it is on the Allan
tic coast. but of genuine. healthy de-
velopment the west asks no favors of
the east.
But the most outrageous state
ments quoted are that "the founda-
tions for the structures of high moral
ity are not yet laid; and that the
frog Of civic government is yet in the
t..dpole stage and requires the tail to
sustain Observation-Disclosures that
/ may mean.
