4 TRAMP PARADISE.

Mrs. Almira Kramer, SO years Of
age, and possessed of $115,000, left
$4,000 in trust, the income to be used
to feed and battle tramps in Kalama-
zoo. Tramps will notice with joy that
the expenditure of the fund is obliga-
tory and that the taking of a bath is
not.
In 1900 Kalamazoo had a popula-
ton of 4,4O4, of whom 1000 were en-
gagged in growing celery. What the
population will be in 1910 it would not
be safe to predict, but the celery eat
ers will increase more rapidly than
the celery growers. Probably it will
not be necessary to add to the two
score churches and the eight banks of
the city.
For those who wish to show their
appreciation of Mrs. Kramer's bequest
by breaking bread at her board or
that of her trustee, Senator Julius
Caesar Burrows, 1t will be enough to
say that Kalamazoo is delightfully."-
situated in the valley of that name in
Southwestern Michigan. 1t is within
easy "panhandling" distance Of Chi
cago. Forward, the hobo brigade! is
there a man dismayed? The bath is
not compulsory.-New York World.

TRAVEL TO ALASKA.

Alaska sounds a mighty long way
off yet it is curious to notice the
startling increase of tourist traffic up
the coast from Seattle, whence the
trip to Sitka and back is a delightful
luxurious tour of a fortnight This
season, particularly, thousands of
holiday seekers, even from the east
ern states, will make their way out
west, taking advantage of the very
tempting rates offered by the rail-
roads and, after attending the Lewis
and Clark exposition at Portland, Or,
they will most likely take the Alaskan
tour-which is absolutely the best re-
turn for a hundred dollar bill which
the present writer ever received. 1t
is an experience indeed, full of vary
ing delight, floating night and day
through inlets and narrows and pas
sages, by unnumbered thousands of
plne-clad isles.-From "Our New En-
pire," by William G.. Fitz Gerald, in
Four Track News for August.

SONG OF THE CASCADES.

Where the early sun has gilded
All the pinnacles of snow
Where the wary panther crouches.
And the wild deer come and go,
Where the speckled beauties linger
In their shadows soft and cool
And, anon, with lightning swiftness,
Hide themselves in deepest pool
There l love to list and linger
From the early morning light
Till the day has filled its mission
And has drifted into night
All day long the heights are ringing
With the music of the trees;
And the merry, dancing waters
Have no object hut to please.
All day long a note of gladness
Rings from mountain peak and dell
And the feathery upland songsters,
Add their notes the chords to swell
While l lie, and dream and listen,
To their music, soft and sweet,
Hoping that the dim hereafter
May hold nothing less complete.

MOTOR CAR FOR PENDLEToN.

The Commercial association could
perform a valuable service for this
city and community by petitioning the
Hartman system to place one of the
new motor cars now being manufac-
tured for its branch lines, on the
Walla Walla-Pendleton run.
First come, first served, and If Pen
dleton is alert and energetic she can
secure perhaps the first of these cars
to be assigned to the western divisions
of the Hartman system.
Pendleton has a host of warm and
fast friends among o. r. G. N. officials
who would be delighted to bring this
blessing to the city, and II the busi-
ness men and Commercial association
exhibit any desire to have one of these
cars, they will receive the hearty CO.
operation of the officials.
One of the Hartman motors, MAX
ing two or three trips each day be-
tween this city and Walla Walla,
would bring the entire east and north
ends of Umatilla county to the very
door of Pendleton and would add
thousands of dollars to the trade OF
the county seat, as well as furnishing
the fullest conveniences to outside
residents in reaching the county seal
on their necessary business. Let us
go after motor car today. They may
be assigned elsewhere If we wait unit

HEAVY TRADE COMING.

The shelves in Pendleton's excel
lent mercantile institutions are being
cleared in readiness for the heaviest
fall trade ever enjoyed by the city.
A prosperous and fruitful year in all
lines of industry will multiply the
mercantile business in the fall. New
fields of trade are being brought with
in Pendleton's tributary territory con-
stantly and this will grow and expand
as irrigation of the outlying arid tracts
and the settlement of the foothill re-
gion in the south part of the county
progresses.
Within the past year every one of
the largest mercantile establishments
in Pendleton have doubled their floor
space and largely increased their
working forces.
The demands from new trade fields
made this all necessary and the vol
ume of business to be transacted this
year, will make other and more eX-
tensive enlargements of space and
stocks imperative.
Itiis true that the summer sales
have never before held up as they
have this season, despite the fear that
the Lewis and Clark fair would de-
tract from Pendleton business and
when the fall season arrives there will
be larger and more choice stocks of
fresh, new, bright and well selected
goods to choose from than ever before
in the city.
Patrons who are interested are urg-
emily requested to watch the adver-
tisements. This is not matter of
"hot air." but it is a matter of business
and If the East Oregonian can direct
its readers to good bargains, it is
saving them money and performing
the most important part of its mission
as a newspaper.
Old stocks are sold out this season
as never before and when the summer
is over and the fall shipments begin
to arrive, the largest volume of busi-
ness ever transacted in the city will
be enjoyed. 1t will be interesting to
watch the developments and it win
pay country patrons and those who
come from a distance to trade here,
to watch the advertisements in the
East Oregonian, which reaches almost
every home, stock ranch and village
! in the interior.

THE SALOONS WIN.

In order to make the closing of sa-
looms on Sunday unpopular with all
classes of people, the city council last
night passed the saloon mems Sunday
closing ordinance by unanimous vote,
without the change of a word, line or
phrase in the entire ordinance.
on the solicitation of the farmers
whose harvest work is demoralized by
open saloons on Sunday, an effort was
made to secure Sunday closing of the
saloons by the moral element in Pen
dleton.
In order to strike back and make
the saloon closing order unpopular,
and to iniure small business men
against whose business there is not
the least shadow of objection, the
council permits itself to be used by
the saloons.
Whatever results from this last act
of the council must be placed at the
door OF the council as sdlooh SiO'iHs
is all that was demanded by the peo'
pie. And it was demanded in order
that the farming community. which
supports Pendleton, might be assisted
In its work during harvest
The saloon men of Pendleton arr
fortunate that they have an entire
council at their disposal. Very few
other cities in the country presen
such a spectacle.
It will be interesting to notice how
many side and back doors to saloon
are found open on Sunday, and nov
few prosecutions for violations OF tn
ordinance by the saloons. will follow

NEvADA's WILD HORSES.

The traveller from Reno to Haw-
thorne, New, on the Carson &c Colo
RADIO railway, often wonders at the
large herds of horses seen in the des-
ert along Walker lake, below the
Walker Indian reservation. These
horses are wild. Not range animals
gone wild, but wild horses. They are
as wild as the horses that once COW
cred the plains with the buffalo and
antelope.
If the passenger could cross Walk
er lake and travel among the treeless
hills on its western side he would see
hundreds and thousands OF these wild
horses in the course of few weeks.
Walker lake Is 38 miles long, five
miles wide, $50 feet deep in the deep
est place and having no outlet Il is
alkaline and salty. No boats are per-
mitted on Walker lake, which is with
in the Walker Indian reservation, and
so 1t would be impossible to get on the
western side of Walker lake unless

DAKoTA's WONDERFUL CAVERN.

The great Wind Cave has the form
of an eight-story house, each story,
or stratum containing distinct for
nation of its own, and each contain
ing chambers of a size and magnifi-
eence of decoration such as has never
before been found in any subterranean
cavern of the world.
1t is a dream, nightmare, vision
carved in solid stone under the green
hills os Dakota. Stone as white as the
milk the hired man used to give US
to drink in the dawn of happy Jure
morning, stone as red as the heart OF
the first bloodroot that you dug Ill
the spring when the world was oil
spring to you, and stone that Is blue
with a blue that all the painters who
have ever painted Venice have tried
to get for generations and have failnd.
Frozen fountains are there, white
with the leaping foam Of untold ages,
sculptured cats and horses and great
monsters to be dreamed about o.
nights and feared in dark corners In
the daytime. Organs built by the
hands Of giant gnomes for Titan to
play wild hymns of praise upon,
kitchen for the cooking of weird
dishes never thought of up here in the
sunshine, all manner and all kinds OF
rooms, 90 miles of them, down there

range horses who pound the grass into

you went around it, which is more
than even the sun-baked Indians are
willing to attempt.
Up to last winter the wild horses
ON the Nevada deserts were shot or
poisoned by the occasional herdsmen.
Now, however, they are protected, the
state legislature of Nevada having
passed an act to this effect at its last
session, The wild steeds are great
rangers They travel many miles In
Il day and pick clean the scant herb
age--consisting mainly of bunchgrass
and sage--making it impossible to
run cattle in the region even in sea-
sons when the climate permits herd
ing stock.
As they were fleet of foot it was
often difficult to get a shot at them
and "A favored method to accomplish
their destruction was to poison the
scattered water holes they visit when
far from Walker lake. Now that the
herds are protected by law they have
grown very bold and come up the Car
son valley within several miles of Car
son City.
They are quite often seen along the
Carson river and i'm the Walker In
dian reservation, where they are sell
dom troubled by the lazy Indians. A
favorite method of capturing the ami
mails alive is to herd them cautiously
up narrow canyon. with riders on
the hills on each side of the canyon.
At the head of the canyon is a v
shaped stockade terminating in n cor
raj, into which as many are driven as
possible.
The wild horse is as readily broken
to sadie as any Western broncho
Some of them are of large size, taller
and stockier built, in fact much larger
every way than the average broncho
1t will doubtless be Il great many
years before these wild horses are eX-
terminated or domesticated.

MERCY.

The quality of mercy is not strained,
1t droppeth as the gentle rain from
heaven
Upon the place beneath; it is twice
blessed;
1t blesseth him that gives and him
that takes:
'Tis mighty in the mightiest; it be.
comes
The throned monarch better than his
crown;
His sceptre shows the strength of tenn,
poral power
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth set the dread and feal
of kings.
But mercy is above this sceptred
sway;
1t is enthroned in the hearts Of kings,
1t is an attribute to God himself,
And earthly power doth then show
likest Gods
When mercy seasons justice.

MAYOR HUNTS BRAVE WORDS.

Few mayors in western cities would
have the moral courage to speak
MAINLY on the subject Of gambling as
Mayor Gilbert Hunt of walla Walla,
spoke in his annual message to the
council.
It is refreshing and encouraging to
hear one clear, brave fearless voice
ringing out clarion-like above all the
compromising, wishy-wasny palaver
Of public officials and alleged respec-
table citizens on this curse.
Hunt drives the nail home with
sledge-hammer blows and no man
need misunderstood his sentiments
By such sentiment and such fearless,
determined men. has Walla Walla be-
come the leading home and school city
in the Northwest Here Is what he
says:
"I desire that my attitude toward
gambling, in all its forms, be plainly
understood, and II It exists within the
city, I shall demand that the necessary
steps be taken to drive It from our
midst.
There is not one redeeming feature
about the whole miserable PROPOSE
ton, neither is there one word Of
good that can be said in favor of 1t.
It has existed in different forms since
the beginning OF time, consequently
we cannot expect to exterminate It,
but we can come 80 near aoolishing- II
from our city limits that It will not

be a desirable occupation for any one.
Gambling in any form is demoral-
izing. I do not except any phase OF
1t, and the nickel-in-tne-slot machine,
as we'll as other forms, must be taken
into consideration. This nickel-in-
