WELCOME, TO PENDLEToN.

If it were as easy to build good
roads over the sage brush hills as it
is pleasant and delightful to welcome
the good roads delegates to Pendleton,
surely Umatilla county would have
marble boulevards and country high
ways putting to shame the boasted
turnpikes of Italy or England.
Umatilla county not only needs good
roads, but she needs a good roads
enthusiasm, which it is hoped she will
freely imbibe from this convention.
She needs a goods roads theory which
will enter into future expenditures
for county highways. She needs a
systematic plan of making roads-a
plan that will prevent the repetition
of washouts and chuck holes, year in
and year out, with a continuous stream
of county funds pouring into these
year, with no sign of abatement.
From the high officials, experts,
students and enthusiasts. it is hoped
that Umatilla county draws a lasting
and profitable inspiration. She needs
it. She needs plan that will build
good roads. if she builds but a mile a
year, rather than to build 100 miles
of temporary road which must be re-
built at greater cost next year.
Umatilla county is not alone in this
pressing need of better roads. All of
Oregon can safely attend these con-
ventions and learn, for there is little
systematic roadbuilding anywhere in
the state.
1t is hoped that your enthusiasm is
contagious and that Umatilla county
is seized with a mania for good roads
that will not be satisfied until the
1900 miles OF roads in the county are
rebuilt on an imperishable basis.
Welcomed

talking. Pendleton is graceful lis

ooLDEsr CITY IN THE WORLD.

In the dead of winter many people
are apt to think that they are living
in the coolest city in the world. That
distinction belongs to Yakutsk, in
eastern Siberia. 1t is the capital of
the province of that name, which, in
most of its area Of a million and a
half of square miles, is a bare desert,
the soil of which is frozen to a great
depth There are about 400 houses
of European build in Yakutsk. They
stand apart, the intervening spaces
being occupied by winter yoorts, or
huts, of the northern nomads, with
earthen roofs, doors covered with
hairy hides, and windows Of ice.

1RAArPs COME FROM.

"The great class of homeless men
in this country is constantly being re-
cruited from the best boys of Amer
lea, not the worst l say deliberate
ly that the majority of homeless men,
our tramps, and casual labor men, are
American born, and in some cases
they ccme from the best American
families"
This was the significant statement
made by Raymond Robbins of the
Northwestern University Social Set
tlement of Chicago. who addressed a
large audience in Plymouth church.
Brooklyn, the other night, after a res
idence of four years in the slum dis
trict of Chicago, studying the home
less man problem, on which he is now
an authority.
Il have spent 5000 in investigating
a single case, and in all l have run
through 1000 individual cases of
homeless men, and l know whereof
I speak" continued Mr.. Robbins. ITO
be sure. l found foreigners, not a
great many proportionately but n
considerable number But it has been
proved that the foreigners stand so
much harder treatment than the
American boy, that they are every day
displacing the American boy in our
great industries, and he is going out
on the streets and on the road"
The reason for the great army of
homeless men that we now have in
America, Mr.. Robbins said, was the
frontier of a hundred years ago Of
fered to the youth who would try
their mettle with nature. To-day"
said he, that great opportunity is
closed, the frontier is gone forever,
and from the country districts of New
England, the great Middle West and
the West come the youth to try their
fortunes in the cities like Chicago
and New York. Under what differ
ent conditions does the boy start out
today than he did so or 100 years ago.
The mining camp of the West was in
calculably safer than what confronts
the boy in our city now"
One group of the homeless class,
Mr.. Robbins described as the people
who never get started" "They will
never reach manhood and woman
hood" he said, with enough rich
blood to make them what the coun-
try needs. 1t is in our tenements
that boys and girls are being educat-
ed for the casual labor class. are being
fashioned for it hour after hour. 1
know that strong men can come out
of tenements, but I am talking of the
average man, and it is to the average
man that the country should give a
chance. People say there is plenty
of room at the top, but 1 want room
at the bottom; l want things so the
average man has a chance"

1t is too near the opening of the
Lewis and Clark fair for the state
commission and the corporation to
engage in a war over the question of
authority. 1t would be unfortunate
for the state and would cast discredit
on the fair. Let the fair proceed, and
let the states monev be expended as
intended. The money has been ap-
propriated and is now for the most
part used in preparation for the fair.
But let the state learn a lesson from
this and not engage in the exposition
business again. Let us keep our
hands clean of any future fair or
ganized and promoted for personal
gain by professional promoters. The
state cannot afford to "fluke" now.

Mrs. III. WriQh(

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there is q
kind Of dyspepsia that is caused by
arrangement of the female organism
and which, while it causes disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic,
but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects
also.
AS proof of this theory we call at
tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
"For two years I suffered with dyspepsia
which SO degenerated my entire system that
was unable to attend to my daily duties l
felt weak and nervous and nothing that ate
tasted good and it caused disturbance in my
stomach. / tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. I was adj
vised to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound trial, and was happily surprised
to find that it acted like fine tonic, and in
few days 1 began. to enjoy and properly digest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and in
five weeks was a well woman. I nave rec
commended it to many suffering women
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed endorsement,o or has such a record of
cures of female troubles, as has Lydia

A Picture of the English Capital of

"AIl the English are mad by nature
or by fashion," Chateaubriand writes
nonchalantly in the book Of his en-
bassy in London Q82D, but he had
very gay time with the same lunatics.
We hear Of dinners, Almack's and lie
beau monde. The day was thus dis
tributed in London: At 6 o'clock in the
morning one FASTENED to a party of
pleasure, consisting Of breakfast in
the country; one returned to lunch in
London; ore changed ones dress to
walk in Bond street or Hyde park; one
dressed again to dine at 1880; one
dressed again for the opera; at mid
night one dressed ONCE more for an
evening party or rQut. What life Of
entertainments! / should q hundred
times have preferred the galleys," One
smiles and reads on. He found London
full of recollections of Bonaparte, "The
people had passed from the vilification
of Nick to a stupid enthusiasm, His
colossal bust by Canova decorated the
Duke Of Wellington's staircase"
At an evening party at Lord London
derry's, the English premier, II was
presented by his majesty to a severe
looking lady seventy-three years old.
She was dressed in Grape, wore a black
veil like diadem on her white hair
and resembled queen who had abdi=
Gated her throne. She greeted me in
solemn voice with three mangled SEN
fences from the Genie du Christian

solemnity, I am Mrs. Siddons.' If she

ing from forty to eighty. Not SO. Rat
tlesnakes are born into the world, as
are all members of the viperoid famI-
ly, in filters numbering from seven to
twelve.
Between the middle Of July and the
middle Of August the babies appear.
Lively, self reliant, dangerous little
fellows they are, fourteen inches long.
no thicker than a lead pencil, marked
like the adult snakes and provided
with a single button at the end of the

Motionless, eyes cleaning, the long
mother lies extended across the back
of a sand hummock beneath the fan
like leaf Of a dwarf palmetto, glaring
coldly at her active, squirming ba-
bies. For a brief half hour she tar
ries; then she drags herself away, for
from the first moment young RATHER

Henry II. sought peace for his soul
after the murder Of Beckett by feeding

the charity of Henry I'LL, who COM

FLORIDA'S EXTENT.
The Everg1ade State Is Larger Than
Most Folks Imagine.

The Everglade State Is Larger Than
Most Folks Imagine.
But few people have any conception
Of Florida's extent Jacksonville is
about as far north of Miami as she is
south of Charlotte, N. c.; about as far
north of Key West as she is south of
Danville, Va. Ignorance of the extent
of Florida leads to many amusing mis-
takes. We sometimes hear the rail-
roads Of the state charged with max
ing poor time. Why, it takes over
twentyfour hours to go from Pensa-
cola to Miami. The man who makes
this remark would think he was travel
ing on a flier if he made the trip from
Pensacola to Chicago in the same
length Of time it would take him to go
to Miami. But there is very little diff
ference in the distance. A land trip
from one end of Florida to the other is
as long as from the lakes to the gulf.
A citizen of Maine who makes up his
mind to come south may get on the
cars and pass through Maine, New
Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connect
cut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vania, Delaware, Maryland, the Dis
trict Of Columbia and far into Virginia.
When he has done this he has taken
no longer ride than he could have tax
en- by an equally direct line from one
Florida town to another, and there are
some men green enough to think they
are making poor time when they find
it takes them longer to go from Pensa-
cola to Miami than from the eastern
to the western side of Maine. OF
course the old stagers do not make
these amusing mistakes. They have a
pretty clear conception of the geogra-
ply Of Florida. There are many, how
ever, who come on their first visit with
very hazy ideas Of the state.-Florida

THE OTHER MANS PLACE.
Little Lesson ON the Policy OF
Charity For All.

n
Charity For All.
One rainy day boarded a street car
for which 1 had waited in the inclem-
ent weather long enough to ruffle my
temper. The conductor stood on the
rear platform, and 1 paid my fare to
him there. He then went into the car
and to the forward end of it, ringing
up my fare as he went.
At the next corner another man came
aboard and took my place on the plat
form, while 1 went inside the car. The
conductor, well forward in the car,
saw me come in and supposed 1 was
the man who had just boarded the car.
Presently be came back to me and re-
quested my fare.
II paid my fare" said 1.
He looked doubtfully at me a mo-
ment, I didn't like 1t bit. 1 thought
I had suffered enough through being
compelled to wait SO long for the car;
1t seemed like rubbing it in to have the
conductor now stand these and by his
manner plainly tell my fellow passen-
gers that 1 was five cent thief,
81 paid my fare to you on the plat
form when came aboard" said.
Then he thought he had me.
81 amt been on the platform since
you came aboard" he answered con.
fldently.
Now, right here is where Lincoln
came In and kept me from making a
fool Of myself.

charity for ALL" said the great, good
man, at time, too, when he himself
was the target for more shafts of NAL
ice than have ever been hurled by
Americans at any other American

anger into charity.
had only to put myself in the con-
ductor's place land that Of itself is
charity to see that he had some rea-
son for doubling me. / had only to
recall to mind that inspectors and spot
tiers are watching him and that If he
misses a fare he may be thought to
have stolen it.
With malice toward none, with chari-
ty for all, 1 smiled and took him in a
friendly way by the arm. Leading him
to the door, said:
eff that man In the brown derby
doesn't pay the missing fare WILL"
The conductor opened the door, and
the man In the brown derby hat passed
up his nickel
Then the conductor came back to me
and made a manful apology, and with
touch of that greatness which had
borrowed from Lincoln for the moment
eased the poor conductors manifest
embarrassment by telling him in all
sincerity that his mistake was a per-
fectly natural one; that had been in
his place 1 should probably have made
1t just as he did and finally that no
body but a very foolish man would
take offense at 1t.
Yet, dear reader, don't mind confld-
ing to you that came all fired near to
being that very foolish man.
So by the aid of that momentarily
borrowed greatness made a friend in
stead Of an enemy-two friends, may
almost say, for was on much more
friendly terms with myself than I
should have been If I had let my I'M
charitable passions rise.
Little matter, wasn't 1t? Well, how
many little matters make big matter?

Lake Cayuga is one of the wonders
of the eastern states. 1t Is situated In
west central New York and Is upward
of forty miles in length, with an aver
age breadth Of but three miles. One
Of its peculiarities is this: Although
hundreds of persons have been drown
ed in its waters since the settlement of
the adjacent territory, not a single
corpse has so far been recovered, and
it is a common saying that Lake Ca
yuga never gives up it's dead" Those
who have made an attempt to ia hOm
this mystery say that the bottom Of
this remarkable sheet Of water is SIM
ply a series Of large openings and
craterlike cavities, the entire lake bed
having the appearance of being, one
huge honeycomb, each of the Well
like holes being reputed to be bottom
less.
Another Cayuga mystery is it's ir-
regular tides. There is no stated time
for their appearance, but when> they
do come they are very decided, the
water often instantly receding 80 to
100 feet and as quickly returning with
a roar that can be heard for miles,
