ITALIAN JOURNALISM.

Italy has its own newspaper meth
DDS. as Is pointed out by Rome dis
patch to the London Pail Mall Ga
zette. During n criminal trial in Italy
every newspaper is an intense partisan
for or against the prisoner. The evi-
dence is skillfully edited before pub
lication, so as to seem to support the
side to which the paper Is committed.
The editors even search for-and
sometimes manufacture-testim
that shall tend toward conviction or
acqulttal, and when the trial is over
they burst into joyful praise or furi-
GUS denunciation. The correspondent
says that Italians, reading accounts
of great cases in American papers,
are surprised to observe that they are
mere reports" instead of passionately
expressed "views."
"The Americans are a great peo-
ple," said an italian, but cold; they
don't even warm to their own Grimm
ais" That is due to temperament;
slso to the fact that the reporters
want to keep their jobs. also to the
obvious propriety of giving every man
square deal."-Rochester Demo-
: crat and Chronicle.

Pendleton.
THE chief aim of all education
should be to make an upright citizen"
said Conklin when he first came to
Pendleton, and all the educational
training he has given i'm the public
schools of this city has been with
that exalted aim in view.
With no outward show of authority
or force, he has yet welded a COM

Lewiston is the storm center of one
of the most complex railroad situa-
tlons ever presented in the west. The
Northern Pacific, o. r. & n. and sew
eral electric line propositions are all
struggling for the mastery, with the
result that Lewiston hopes to secure
a railroad into the interior from some
source, soon. Wallowa county, the
John Day country in Oregon, and the
Grangeville and Lewiston districts in
Idaho, have been the toy of the rail-
road systems for years and it is hoped
that some outside capital enters these
fields and secures the rich traffic
awaiting transportation facilities. d

that is possessed by but few teachers.
Blunt, practical, conscientious, un-

The result has been that he has

pupils five years ago, to be one of the
leading schools in the Inland Empire,
with 10 pupils at high tide during
the past year, taking part in all the
school events with success and honor
and having a reputation for upright

second to none in the entire Pacific

LET US BUILD ROADS RIGHT.

The East Oregonian was delighted
to hear Judge Scott, Of Salem, give
the city council his experiences with
macadam. 1t believes the city and
county can be benefited by following
the advice of such practical men as
the president of the Oregon Good
Roads association is known to be.
1t seems that the most practical,
sensible and economical thing to be
done in Umatllla county. is for the
city of Pendleton and the county
court to join in the purchase of road
machinery. Enormous quantities of
rock are to be found all around the
borders of Pendletop, and by the city
and county Joining hands and reduc-
ing the expense to both, systematic
plan OF making streets and roads.
gradually, as both the city and coun-
ty felt able, could be inaugurated.
A system Of macadamized county
roads could be started from Pendle-
ton, reaching out in each direction.
and gradually extended to all parts
of the county and in the meantime the
same machinery could be used to
crush rock and roll the streets for the
city.
The East Oregonian believes the
taxpayers are favorable to such a
movement. Complaints are heard
constantly about the miserable roads
leading to Pendleton. and about the
miserable streets in Pendleton, and it
feels sure that not a. word of protest
would go up against the joint expen-
diture of money for modern road ma
chinery, nor against street improve
ment.
Other cities where the natural ad-
vantages are far inferior to those Of
Pendleton are making permanent
street improvements along this line,
and counties where it is necessary to
haul rock from adjoining counties are
making miles of good roads, where
Umatilla county is not making yards
at the present time.
One crusher and one roller would
answer at present, the total cost of
these implements being about $500.

GAMBLERS CREATE WEALTH

The readers of the East Oregonian
are interested in knowing how the
gambling element adds wealth to the
community. so here is thrilling in
stance that will be read with interest:
A young man from Grant county
brought three horses to Pendleton re-
Gently. for sale, expecting to take out
ton of barbed wire and a load of
groceries and supplies with the pro-
ceeds of the sale.
He was directed to Pendleton
saloon. where he would be likely to
find a buyer for his horses. He
found the buyer and made sale, re-
ceiving $245 for the three horses. A
booster for a gambling game heard
him asking for buyer for his horses
and watched to see if the sale was
made, and when he saw the boy re-
ceiye the money, he treated the crowd,
and made himself a good fellow" for
a few moments, with the result that
he formed the acquaintance of the
Grant county boy with the SPAS in his
pockets.
They decided to "see the town" to-
gether.
The boy and this friend" were seen
gambling at midnight, and it is posi-
lively known that when the boy start
ed for Grant county next day at noon
he did not have a pound of barbed
wire in his wagon nor a dollars worth
of groceries or supplies of any kind.
The gambler had added the boys
wealth to the circulation.
Nobody but the boys mother and
father know what he told when he
reached home.
Nobody but the booster who robbed
him knows how he got rid of his
money. Pendleton merchants re-
ceived none of it. Business in the
city was not increased. in fact it was
decreased to the extent of perhaps
$500 for that day. or the amount
that would have been spent leEti-
mately for barbed wire and provis-
ions.

There were no bidders for the re-

HOW TO Use BIRCH BARK.
Strips OF Leather Recomm ended for
Joining Pieces Together and In
dian Decoration Approved.

The shops this month are show
Ing all sorts OF pretty things made Of
birch bark, most OF which could be
readily copied by the girl who has
brought home a supply OF birch bark
from her summer vacation.
The little bonbon boxes which We
Used TO make BY laclng together five
pieces Of the bark with ribbon have
developed into a good-sized workbox,
N much the same way, but fitted with
lid.
The sides are formed OF four pieces
seven by four inches. The top and bot
tom are seven by seven inches. The
edges Of the bark are bound with
sweet grass held In place by overcast
ing with colored floss. Join together
with narrow ribbon, which can be
drawn through with a needle and tied
in bows. Have the ribbon OF the
same shade as the floss used in over
casting.
The popular pig penwiper Is very
striking when made from birch bark.
For it you will require strip meas
uring four by six inches Cut the pat
tern Of the pig from paper first, and then
laying this pattern on the bark, cut the
latter by IT, Eyes cars. nose and curly
tail are added with a brushful Of sepia
water color. Several thicknesses OF
chamois cut to the same shape are used
for the wiper. The words Fresh from
the Pen" are emblazoned on piggy S
surface.
All sorts of cute little catch-alls, hair
pin holders and dead match receivers
can be fashioned with little ingenuity
from the bark. If not sufficiently pill
able soak it in water over night.
There are many ways Of decorating
1t attractively. Indian designs or what
pass as such, applied with camels hair
brush dipped in walnut Juice, are effec-
tive. For noveltys sake, too, strips OF
leather (old gloves will do for this) can
replace ribbon in binding the bark II
care is used Or loops and strings for
hanging the articles up can be OF the
leather. Bead fringes and other bead
concentrations. bestowing as they do
characteristic Indian touch, are delight
full.
