FAIRBANKS NOT so ICY.

With the approach of a presidential
election. Vice President Charles w.
Fairbanks is perceptibly "thawing
out" on his trip across the contt-
nent to the irrigation congress at
Boise, the vice president was anything
but the icy recluse which he is said
by the cartoonists to be.
Mr.. Fairbanks and party arrived
at Boise yesterday morning over the
Union Pacific and oregon Short Line
from Denver. and at several places
along the way. especially at Pocatello,
Idaho, large crowds greeted the vice
president, who shook hands with the
men. chatted with the women and
kissed the babies in the usual cam
paign manner.
The general impression of Mr.. Fair
banks will be changed by a personal
acquaintance with him. On the over
land train Mr.. Fairbanks made him.
self extremely sociable and compan-
ionable. He occupied an apartment
in a drawing room car, but at every
station he left his car and mingled
with the people in a most cordia
manner.
As one sees more of the vice pres
ideut, the stronger grows the convic'
ton that his icy temperature has beer
greatly exaggerated.
He seems to be in earnest in his
interest in the west and is out to se'
and learn. If he is assuming his cor
dial mood on this trip, he is a supert
actor

MORE WESTERN BANKS.

From March 1 to June 80, 1906, au-
thorized to organize with a minimum
capital of $4,000, IS national banks

BRYAN AND ROOSEVELT.

The republican press of the country
lauds Theodore Roosevelt to the skies
for spending s2OO,OOO,OOO of the peo-
ple's money in building the Panama
canal, for the development of COM
merce and for the protection of the
industrial interests of the nation.
The same press condemns Bryan as
an anarchist and an unsafe dreamer
for proposing government ownership
of the railroads, for the development
of commerce and the protection of
the industrial interests of the nation.
If it is wise for the government to
build, equip, maintain and operate
the Panama canal in the interests OF
national commerce, and to free the
people from the shipping trusts, why
is it not just as wise for the govern
ment to oBn, maintain and operatz
the railroads in the interests of ma.
ticnal commerce and to free the peo.
pie from the railroad trusts?
II Roosevelt should advocate gov.
ernment ownership, which is but {
short step IN advance of his railroad
regulation program, the parrot pres
which now condemns Bryan, woulC
shout itself hoarse for Roosevelt. Con
sistency is. indeed. rare jewel in pol
itics

the irrigator from the sagebrush are
mingling in delightful carnival of
speechmaking and banqueting.
1t is the greatest irrigation congress
ever held anywhere in the world
The United States is the home and
originator of the irrigation congress,
and the Boise congress is ahead of
them all; This is the l4th and great
est meeung held by the National lr,
rigation association. To the persist
ent efforts of Idaho and the cordial
corporation of her friends, chief of
which is the state of Oregon, is this
great achievement due.
Until one visits the leading irrigated
sections of the United States-Colo-
RADIO, Utsh, Wyoming, Idaho-where
land values have reached the fabu-
lous stage, through irrigation, it IL
impossible to properly estimate ths
importance of this great national in
dustrial movement.
The east cannot appreciate the
value of irrigation, because 1t has few
If any. practical demonstrations. The
majority of eastern people are totally
ignorant of the vastness and national
prominence of irrigation. They feel

which concern only a limited portion
of the west.
But the splendid interest shown IL
the Boise congress proves that ever
the east is awakening. Fifty CORES
pondents of leading eastern newspa
pers and magazines arrived at Bois
yesterday 10 attend the congress anC
to send the story to their papers in tn

This means more for irrigation thar

WHERE Is THAT THEATER?

With the approach of the theater
season, Pendleton asks herself:
where is that new theater building
so long needed and so often promis-
ed3"
The truth Of the matter is that PEN
dleton is denied the best class of at
fractions because of her small and
poorly equipped theater building. She
is entitled to the best, and would have
the best If she could accommodate
them. Her railroad facilities bring
her into direct touch with the largest
and best companies that come to the
Pacific coast, but she enjoys but few
Of them. The largest and best cannot
snow here. She gets only the best OF
such as she can accommodate.

AN EDITORS TOAST.

At an editorial convention one of
the country editors offered the fol-
lowing toast:
"To save an editor from starvation
take his newspaper and pay him for 1t
promptly. To save him from bank
ruptcy advertise in his paper liberal
ly. To save him from despair send
him every item of news of which you
can get hold. To save him from pro-
family write your correspondence
plainly on one side Of the sheet and
sent it in as early as possible. To
save him from mistakes bury him.
Dead people are the only ones that
never make mistakes. Newspaper
readers would do well to remember
that there are no perfect people
editors or readers"

MAN AND NATURE.

o. steadfast trees that know
Rain, hail, sleet and snow,
And all the winds that blow;
But when spring comes can then
So freshly bud again,
Forgetfui Of the wrong!
Waters that dep below
The stubborn ice can go
with quiet underflow,
Contented to be dumb
Till spring herself shall come
To listen to your song!
Stars that the clouds pass Ger
And stain not, but make more
Alluring than before
How good 1t Is for us
That our lives are not thus
Prevented, but made strong!

PENDLETON'S OFFERING.

In last Saturdays East Oregonian
was published an outline of the COM
ing years work in the public schools
of this city.
This outline comprehends the most
complete public school course ever put
forth in eastern oregon. 1t means
that Pendleton keeps her place at
the head oi the list of school towns
in eastern Oregon. Nowhere else in
eastern Oregon or Washington. or in
fact in any other western state, has
the public school work been organiz-
ed and systematized as it has been in
this city.
The highest possible efficiency,
within the limits of the courses taught
and with the facilities at hand, has
been reached here. The public school
organization and program in this city
are equal to those of many cities with
a population of 10000 to 10000. II
would be impossible to find a NOR,
thorough organization in city of tbs
size Of Pendleton, and the East Ore
goniap is glad that Pendleton makes
this offering tc the public.
This excellent public school sys
TEN, in addition to the high class pri
vate schools of the city makes Pen
dleton the school center of eastern
Oregon.

WILL TRY A MIRACLE.

Despairing of any further relief
from medicines or physicians, Judge
William B. Teasdale, who is suffer-
ing from cancerous affection of the
throat, which physicians have pro-
nounced incurable, has been taken to
the shrine of st. Anne de Beaupre,
near Quebec, Canada, in the hope that
a miracle through contact with relics
Of the renowned saint kept there may
bring him relief.
Thousands of the afflicted who have
gazed upon the knuckle bone Of the
saint enshrined in the cathedral OF
st. Anne and have kissed the case In
which It is kept, have been relieved

al campaign headquarters will be
opened today in New York and many

The record of the first session of the
Fifty-ninth congress will be used as a

"The session just closed was one of
the most notable since the adoption Of
the Constitution" said Representative
James A. Tawney of Minnesota, chair
man of the house committee Of appro-
priations and chairman of the
republican campaign committee. "a
vast amount of important legislation
was enacted, and congress responded
to nearly every popular demand upon
it. 1 see nothing in the present situa-
ton that would justify even doubt
that the republicans will not control
the house in the Sixtieth congress-
1t is generally understood that, &C
cording to the plans of the campaign

THE GROWTH OF TROUT.
Age, Food and Temperature Seem to
Have No Bearing on Sixe.

Age, Food and Temperature Seem to
Have No Bearing on Sise.
The Salvelinus fOntinalis, which is
trout, was supposed for many years
to be small fish. Agassiz was
largely instrumental in exploding this
fallacy. 1t Is not an uncommon thing
for an angler with ordinary luck to
get a six or seven pound trout of this
variety. 1t is known that trout may
grow to weigh eleven or twelve pounds.
There is, however, great difficulty in
accounting for its variation in size.
In northeastern Canada there are
large streams and lakes in which only
fingerlings have ever been found. In
the immediate vicinity Of such waters
three and four pound trout are quite
common and seven and eight Founders
are not phenomenal. In all these wa
tiers crustacea do not abound; there are
no small fish of any kind except small
trout. All the fish are pure fly feeders.
At some places, it is true, frogs abound,
but taken as q whole the difference in
food supply is not an adequate ex-
PLANTATION for the difference in growth.
There is no substantial difference In
the waters as to temperature, size,
origin and course. Climatic conditions
are the same. The small trout taken
to virgin lakes in which there are no
fish have sometimes grown to a great
size, have sometimes remained small
and sometimes have not thriven. The
anglers who haunt these waters have
not yet found satisfactory explana-
ton of this peculiar condition of things.
1t is one of the mysteries which lends
fascination to the art You never can
tell what is going to happen when you
go fishing."-St Paul Dispatch.

Which shall we prefer in speech and

for the short word, and almost every
body will be voting for the best can

the strong words. They make up In
muscle and liveliness what they lack in
size, says the Manchester Union. And
they are readily in the eyes of men
who have thoughts that they wish to
lodge in other minds. A man who
should run out into the street and yell
"Confagration ConfiagratiOn! Con-

There are in this city at present not

single case directly traceable to city
water. The people here have been re-
peatedly warned through the newspa-

there was considerable vegetable mat
ter and refuse washed into the stream,
which has settled on the bedrock of
the river and held in place by the
gravel bed above the bedrock 1t il
impossible to get rid of this, as it is in

lily and Little Money.
A family. with a modest house sur
rounded by an acre of good soil, even
where the work has to be performed
by members of the family who are oc-
cupied during the long hours of the
day at various occupations, will pro-
duce almost everything used in the
family. An acre of ground thoroughly
we'll cultivated. with a little chicken
yard as an adjunct, will reduce in a
very material way the expenses of the
family.
OF course acre lots are impossible in
side of the city limits or even very
close to the city limits. The person
seeking so large lot must go to a
considerable distance from the bust
ness center, but the extension of cleo
trio lines enables even working people
to live at a considerable distance from
their place of employment. A man
who earns $3.50 to twice that sum a
day and who has family consisting of
q number Of children often finds some
difficulty in bringing them up properly
and giving them the kind Of an educa-
ton he would wish. Such an invest
ment as this. saving rent Of say $50 a
month and yielding eggs and all kinds
of vegetables as well as considerable
Of the fruit that goes to make up the
daily ration of each member Of the
family, will make his struggle in life
much lighter. A man who has such a
stake in the country will be in every
way better citizen than the one who
spends his weeks earnings as soon as
they come into his hand, If not a week
before they are earned.
Varied occupation exceeds all other
processes in drawing out whatever Of
ability a man possesses. Here lies the
advantage to the community-one su-
perior to all economic gain-of the sub
urban acre lot for the home Of the city
wage Garner. The cultivation Of that
acre In alienation with his other en-
ployment will bring him intellectual
and spiritual enlargement, while it
gives him a healthier body and whole
some surroundings in which to bring
up his family.-Maxwell's Talisman.
