AN ELECTRICAL AGE.

What splendid possibilities for tn,
human race are wrapped up in the
development of electrical power ant
light! What a convenience and pleas,
ure this subtle element affords fol
man, and yet owing to its monopol,
by grasping private concerns, what ar
infinitesimally small proportion OF
the homes of the world are permitted
to enjoy this gift of nature!
Think of the unutilized elements OF
electricity everywhere in the air and
the clouds, only awaiting the magic
touch of man to bring them down and
harness them for the use of the peo-
pie of the earth. What cleanly. safe
unfailing lights are afforded by this
blessing and yet how small number
of people are today enjoying it!
In this electrical age homes might
be supplied with heat, light, motive
power. beautiful ornamentation and
display, if electricity were developed
by the municipality or the government
instead of being made the private
possession of the corporation.
But under the present system, in
stead of all the features of electricity
being within reach of the masses, a
majority of homes are without even q
miserable incandescent globe for the
parlor. owing to the excessive cost IT
electricity. Instead of the world be-
ing illuminated everywhere with this
splendid gift of God, there is only an
occasional street light in favored
places, a scanty supply of lights in the
homes of the rich and very moder-
ate display of lights in even the larg-
est public places and business estab-
lishments.
Imagine the homes of the world
supplied with this natural convent
ence: the poor as we'll as the rich en-
joying the blessing of the earth; the
dark places Illuminated with this sub
tie and unfailing force; machinery
run noiselessly and without dirt or
dust; homes supplied with all mod
ern conveniences; public places made
into dreams of splendor by combina-
tions of color and design. All these
are within the grasp of man when he
comes to his understanding and learns
that government is the source of such
development
The stream is running idle to the
sea, the air is filled with the germs
of electrical development, and all the
time the masses of the people are
cropping in the Pickering light of oil
lamps while cursing the monopolists.

THE MARSHAL'S DUTIES.

What are the duties of the city mar
shall? Whose servant is the city mar
shall, and what do the people pay him
800 a month for?
The scrimmage over the marshal
ship in this city is becoming tiresome
and will result in the change of the
charter to the elective method within
a few years if city councils do not
cease making this office a playthlng
and football.
Why is not a definite, concise
clean. clear-cut policy adopted by the
city council. and orders given to the
marshal to follow that policy? Why
should a marshal be whipped between
tie factions with little knowledge OF
what is wanted or expected? He
should be pade' to know, plainly
what is wanted, and then should be
supported and backed UP every day
alike in his duties and acts.
1t seems that this is the only way
in which TO secure the best police
service for the city. AS long as the
marshal is in hot water" and the
council in doubt as to its policy, good
service will never be obtained.

NEW THEATER NEEDED.

Every time the present theater in
Pendleton is filled to overflowing, the
menace of its imperfections and in
completeness is constantly before the
audience. 1t is poorly equipped with
exits, dimly lighted, fnconveniently
arranged and entirely out of Keeping
with the patronage offered by PEN
dleton to every good performance
which comes this way.
A new theater is needed. Another
theater season should find the city
better equipped, the public more
thoroughly safeguarded in life and
limb and more pleasantly situated in
regard to its amusement facilities.
A cozy, well arranged theater on the
ground floor, supplied with numer-
Gus exits, larger stage, better light
ing facilities, more modern arrange
ments and more safety appliances
would certainly be welcomed by Pen
dleton.
1t would be an excellent investment
and should appeal to capital. Th'
menace of the present theater keep
many away. The memory Of the Iro

MONEY TO FIGHT PESTS.

California's per orchards are
valued at about s1O,OO0,OOO and the
entire industry is threatened with de-
struction unless owners awake to the
necessity of combating the deadly
pear blight which so ruthlessly de-
stroyed the pear industry of Georgia,
and which las already ravaged the
orchards of Kern. Tulare, Kings and
Fresno counties.
Without doubt, except in few To-
calities along the coast the orchards
of the eastern states are suffering to
greater or less extent from this seri-
Gus trouble. and unless the owners OF
the orchards are alive to their inter-
ests their orchards are certainly

FOR THE PEOPLES CHOICE.

Umatilla county democrats have
set the pace for the state of Oregon.
At the mass meeting of democratic
voters in this city last Saturday, the
voters pledged the legislative candi-
dates of that party to vote for the
peoples choice for United States sem
ator at the next session of the legis-
lature.
This is a remarkably bold and fear
less pledge for a party organization,
which is presumably in the minority
to make. 1t shows a willingness to
abide by the decision of the mass OF
the people of Oregon, whatever that
may be.
Will the republicans now do like
wise? Will the legislative candidates
Of that party be pledged to vote fol-
the candidate selected by the whole
people of Oregon as their choice fol
the United States senate?
The democratic legislative ticket OF
this county, whoever may be named
at the primaries, will stand pledged tc
the most fearless and unselfish prin
ciple that ever marked the progress
of a party, and it BODIES breaking VI
of old political bonds and a reign o
the people in Oregon.

POET OF THE NEGRO RACE.

Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the colored
poet died at Dayton, o., Friday, of
consumption. Mr.. Dunbar was born
in Dayton, June 81, 1872, and was
first a newsboy and then an elevator
boy, and in his ups and downs for a
livelihood practiced writing. His
first poem was written when he was
years old. His first of a total of 21
books was "Oak and Ivy" He at
tracted the attention of william Dean
Howells and 1t was partly due to the
latter's efforts that he gained recog-
milton in the literary world. Mr.. Dun

Of Milroy have signed an agreement,
which went into effect on Jan. 18th,
to close their respective places OF
business each evening, except Satur-
day, at 7::30 o'clock. This will give

their blowing, the dancers to dance,
and others to rest, if they choose.
In all towns where the railroad
tracks are centrally located there is
more or less complaint regarding
the allowing of children to play in
the yards, and at Winthrop the
marshal has been ordered to make
arrests of all children found in such
places. The allowing of children to
hang around depots is dangerous
enough, but this yard lettering seems
to be the extreme.
We notice an article in an ex-
change which says new cure for
snake bite has been discovered. A
raw onion and freshly killed
chicken being the antidote. They
may be good for the purpose but
not nearly SO handy as a quart bottle
of the real old stuff, says Editor
Bennett of Granite Falls. Besides,
when one goes off on a hunting trip
where there are snakes raw onions
and fresh chicken are not what one
wants to carry. Guess we will stick
to the old remedy.
