THE HONOR OF TWO JERsEYMEN

Mayor Belcher of Paterson, n. j.,
trusted, honored, gifted with unusual
faculty for friendship, is fugitive
from justice. He has robbed the rich
and the poor with fine impartiality.
He has forged the signatures of Off
cials to bogus mortgages. He has de-
frauded his own partners and even his
modestly paid clerk, men whom he
daily saw and smiled upon. He used
his political prominence and the con-
fidence it inspired as a swindler's
bait. He stole from washerwomen.
Another Jerseyman yesterday Illus
trated another code of honor. En-
gineer Mooney of an Atlantic City ex-
press train, whose engine ran off
trestle into New York bay, saw the
danger but stuck to his post, threw
his lever and set his emergency
brakes. The passenger coaches thus
checked were saved. Mooney went
down with his engine, martyr to
duty.
If Mooney had Travelled by the Bel
cher philosophy, he might have saved
his life by jumping at once and letting
his unchecked train slide into the
draw. Is 1t not about time for all
trustees of estates and public Off
cials to cultivate such code of
honor as in railroad engineers daily
serves and saves New York World.

WITH AN oPTINnsTs EYE.

Picture Central Oregon, if you can,
after the cooperative Christian fed
Grafton becomes located on the vast
tracts that it is now negotiating for
in Harney. Crook and Malheur coun-
ties.
Imagine a splendid settlement of
thrifty, contented people, filling the
plains, canyons and foothills of the en-
tire stretch of country from the foot
Of the Cascades to STEMS mountain.
Land such as lies at our doors, no
where else in the world is to be found
in vast stretches, fertile and tillable,
when once supplied with water. And
although the government has failed to
find sufficient water to suit its stand
ards. yet necessity will find a way.
Lines Of railroad will reach from
that fertile and teeming empire to
Portland, shall we say, or to San
Francisco? Somewhere. anyway, be-
cause the flood Of produce coming
from that section would find the sea.
Livestock. agriculture, horticulture
all the great Industries of Oregon
would be at their meridian height, be-
cause nature has blazed the trail for
man in that empire. She has placed
the bunchgrass mountain close to the
fertile valleys, has carved out the
river channels across the arid plains,
and has reared rocky gorges to assist
in spreading the floods over the wait
ing deserts.
Although the history of all such CO.
operative institutions as this is against
it. and the results of other semi-phil-
anthropic colonies have been disas-
trous. yet the East Oregonian hopes
that this splendid movement bears
/ fruitage and blossoms into magniff-
cent maturity.
Because it was conceived and nur-
tured in Oregon, from whence Other
wonders spring perenniaIIy, it may b'
that this one is marked for success.
Its objects are worthy and practi
cal. With sufficient capital and per
severance it can conquer the deser
that it has assailed and with the righ
kind of management it may over
throw the hoodoo that has hoveret
over such enterprises in the past.

YOU think he would hesitate to order
another passenger train placed in

Pendleton, Walla Walla, La Grande,

portance along the line of the o. r.
&. n. have made a request for an
other train temporarily, to accommo-
date the heavy travel, and the COM
pany is fully aware or ,he need Of
such a train.
The travel to the Lewis and Clark
fair from the states Of Idaho, Oregon
and Washington has not yet started.
Nearly all the travel now going wesN
ward is from Missouri river points and
from further east.
Such a special train run from Boise
City. or even from Salt Lake, would
be clean and fresh for local travel
could be kept on time and would stim-
ulate travel. Many people are now
putting off the trip to the fair because
Of the inconvenience Of travelling In
the crowded trains. Let us have To-
cal train for two months.

NEWSPAPER INFLUENCES.

The statement of D. E. Farrow
who is now In this city from Iowa, to
the effect that he was familiar with
actual conditions and business details
in this city through reading the Week
Iy East Oregonian for the past five
years, is but one instance of the secret
yet irresistible influence Of the news
paper.
This man had never visited Pendle-
ton before this trip, and yet he knew
what school tax was voted here, what
the school buildings cost, what the
5ewer system cost and how many miles
OF sewer pipe 1t contained, how many
new residences had been built in the
past year, how many OF the large
stores had enlarged their floor space
and stocks, and. in fact, was familiar
with every detail of the business ac-
tlvity Of the city. through the copies
Of this paper he has read.
The newspaper boosts every indi-
Idual business in a town time and
time again every month. 1t makes
friends and patrons for every mar
whom It mentions kindly, or vice versa
People form friendships through
newspaper stories and every Legitimate
business in a city owes much Of it
success to the persistent free adver
tising OF the papers.

ANCIENT WINES.

1.-THE tombs of Reni Hassam," said
an antiquary of Chicago, 'are inter-
esting on account of their realistic
paintings. In these tombs, which are
5000 years old. there are many pic
lures of drunkards. Drunken men,
waving wine cups in both hands. are
being carried home by sneering slaves.
Drunken women lurch through the
streets, followed by little moclShg
children. All this. mind you, 5000
years ago.
alexander the Great used to hold
drinking contests He who could
drink and carry off the most wine
won. Promachus, the skilled Proma-
chus, won a gold cup from Alexander
by drinking IA quarts of wine.
"The Romans used to serve at their
banquets wines 80 and 100 years old.
They would mix with these wines tur-
pentine, resin and sea water.
IL once tasted a wine 200 years old.
It was so thick we had to dig 1t out
with a spoon. It's flavor was so hor-
rible that turpentne, resin and sea
water would, no doubt, have improved
it."-Chicago Chronicle.

CHANCES FOR AMERICANS IN
BRAZIL.

Consul General Seeger Of Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil. supplies the bureau Of
manufactures, through the state de-
partment. with two letters written to
him by Brazilian merchants request
ing to be furnished with names of
manufacturers in the United States Of
agricultural implements and structur-
al iron.
The letters were written in confl-
deuce. and for reasons that will be un-
derstood by business men the names
OF the writers are withheld. The let
ter from the firm dealing I'm agricul-
tural implements. and which has been
making its purchases from English
houses, is here given:
"A few months ago we ordered
through an English firm established
here. several American machines for
agricultural purposes and were so
satisfied with them that we forwarded
new orders Unfortunately we find
that the machines received are Of Eng
lish make. and copy exactly the Amer
lean type and system-being notwith-
standing of inferior quality There
fore we shall be very thankful If you
will furnish addresses of American
factories for plows. culuvators har-
rows, and other implements. because
we intend importing such articles di-
rectly in future, 'as to avoid imi-
tations."
The other letter, written by firm
in Rio at present representing iron
contractors and builders OF France
and Belgium, is as follows:
"As we know you take great in
terest in promoting the commercial
and industrial relations between the
United States of America and Brazil,
we take the liberty to make the folr
lowing proposition. which We would
like you to consider:
We are representatives in Brazil OF
several contractors and builders of
France and Belgium. and, as you know
all European iron merchants have
formed a syndicate to sustain prices

BOYCOTT CUTS BOTH WAYS.

The East Oregonian regrets to mem
don that several seemingly reputable
business men, who have legitimate
lines of business in the city have made
a persistent personal boycott of this
paper in hopes Of injuring its business
because it is agitating regulation of
saloons. suppression Of gambling and
dives and better morals in general.
AT this time the names and business
represented by these knockers will not
be mentioned because this paper re-
grets that it should be forced to take
such a step. However, It can talk to
several thousand people, most Of them
in sympathy with it's campaign for
better morals, and should 1t be forced
90 publish the names of the gentle
men carrying on this boycott it could
do an irreparable damage to their
business.
The boycott is a double-edged tool
and cuts both ways. It is a disgrace
TO the business circles Of Pendleton to
have it said that a newspaper cannot
stand for decency and saloon regula-
ton and suppression of gambling
without being boycotted by alleged
decent men.
II It Is forced to do it, it can fight
back with the same kind Of ammuni.
don. but it regrets such a necessity
Friends Of morality are requested tc
read the advertisements and keep theil
eyes and ears open.
