MAYOR FEES MESSAGE.

1t is refreshing to hear a genuine
ringing speech in the city council
chambers once more. The city ad-
ministration just retired contained no
orators and the business of the city
has been conducted in monotones that
scarcely awakened an echo within the
bare walls.
1t is refreshing to listen to a re-
sounding address there. And it is
more than ever refreshing to hear the
strong sentiments and decisive poll
.cies set forth in the address.
Mayor Fee in his address to the
council, which is published in full to-
day covers the entire gamut of city
interests, and if he is supported by
the council and encouraged by assist
ance and cooperation from the peo-
pie will be able to carry out strong
determined, clean and clear-cut poll
cy, which will result in great good to
the city.
Reforms and large improvements
come slowly and necessarily require a
blazing of trails and a clearing of
roads before they can be fully accom-
plished. But the way seems clear
now to achieve some actual good for
Pendleton.
The determined stand taken by
Mayor Fee against the safe of liquor
TO minors, Indians and confirmed
drunkards, and the determination on
his part to eliminate boxes, women
and rowdyism from saloons speaks
volumes for moral conditions.
In these high purposes he should
and will have the heartiest co-opera-
tion of every parent and every moral
and upright citizen in Pendleton.
The establishment and maintenance
of public library as an inducement
for young men and women to improve
themselves mentally. at the expense
of the city, also meets hearty re-
Spouse in the breast of every patri-
otto and thinking man. A cosy, well
stocked public library will attract
young people from the saloons and
will consequently reduce the vices.
The East Oregonian has led the
agitation for better morals in this
community. 1t is proud of the results
achieved by that agitation.
1t believes that in the message of
Mayor Fee is reflected promise that
conditions will be better than in the
past. 1t believes that in his strong
and unmistakable words, there is a
tone that means business.
The East Oregonian will cooperate
fully with the mayor in his efforts to
improve moral conditions. 1t is pos
sible to have good morals and good
times at the same time. The vices
can be controlled and the law enforc-
ed without injuring any legitimate In
terests. Other interests than legiti-
mate interests cannot be considered
in government in any form or phase.

MAKES WEAK WOMEN STRONG

too commonly prescribed and advised for
woman's peculiar ailments.

Cohosh root Unicorn root, Blue Cohosh

extracted and preserved by the use OF
chemically pure glycerine, have proven
most potent in making weak women

BUSINESS IN PUBLIC SCHOOL.

1t is with great satisfaction ant
pleasure that the East Oregonian an,
nounces that the public school board
last night definitely decided upon q
commercial course for the high school
This will place Pendleton in still
greater prominence among the school
cities of the inland empire and will
induce more and more young people
to come to the city to take advantage
of her facilities.
SO many young men and women
nowadays, in this age of sharp COM
petition, need their education the mo-
ment they complete it. 1t is their
only means of sustenance.
With a thorough knowledge of a
business course, the high school
graduate will be able to enter upon
a professional career Immediately.
Graduation in the commercial course
will mean an imme diate return from
the education. while without the busi-
ness training in this business age.
many graduates are compelled to go
through still higher schools and col
leges at great expense, before they are
in position to earn a salary from their
education.
This does not mean that an educa-
ton is all a matter of dollars and
cents. Far from it. The classical
beauties of learning and the sound,
stable, imperishable foundations still
stand as the pillars of education, and
the higher colleges and academies are
growing stronger and stronger each
year.
But not every one is able to reach
these For such, the high school bus
mess course is a golden promise of
employment and business efficiency.

LOCAL AND PERSONAL.

Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. More return
ed Yesterday afternoon from San
Antonio, where Mr. More has been
under treatment of a physician the
past few weeks. His many friends
are glad to note he is very much
improved in health, and congratu-
late him upon his recovery.
The. genial secretary of the Cor
pus Christi Board of Trade P. H.
Tansey, who came down, he said,
to find quiet place for rest and
recuperation, but, who, in reality,
wanted to visit a good town, left
this morning after a couple of days
STAY in Brownsville. Mr.. Tausey
saws he loves Brownsville and her
people, and expects grand
awakening in the not distant future.
Whether or. not the wide awake
secretary is gifted with prophetic
vision, being able to draw aside
the veil of futurity and read the
greater development that is to
come, IS a question THE HERALD
cannot answer, but the trend OF
progress is in our direction and its
scope IS practically without limit
Tansey's friends are always glad
to welcome him 30 Brownsville
and he never fails to say a gooc
word for the Queen City of th'
Rio Grande.

Buckingham park, has furnished
material for two fine dining cars
just completed for the Burlington
railway. A few years ago the
necessity for raising large sum
of money led to the sacrifice of a
number of the immense oaks.
Twenty-seven were sold to the
Pullman Company. The partic-
ular oak which furnished material
for the Burlington dining cars was
nearly eight feet in diameter. In
cutting up this mammoth log there
was found gate hook within 10
inches of the center, apparently
driven there 700 or 500 years aguf
In the same tree was discovered a
slug bullet, such as was used in
the first match locks. From its
position in the tree it must have
been there since about the time
of Cromwell.

Intentionally Frank

It was a typographical error that
threatened to bring streaks Of gray
into the locks of the editor of a
newly started weekly which pur-
ported to chronicle the doings OF
the smart set of a western city. In
reality, however, it sold out the
edition. and filled the readers with
a desire to see what would develop
in the succeeding numbers. The
subject of the paragraph was a
pink luncheon given by a well
known matron. When the edition
was given to the public It was
found that the opening lines OF
general eulogy were followed by
the bald statement The luncheon

GUARDED HOLY CUP.
Little Jeanette POwIsy of St. Francis
Asylum Proved Worthy Messenger.

When little Jeanette Powley,
not quite 9, left St. Francis Orphan
Asylum at Monmuth and Bruins
wick Streets. Jersey City, Friday
morning for a ride to New York in
the big covered wagon belonging
to the home the mother superior
said;
4 want you to be a good little
girl, and, above all, want you to
take good care of these precious
things in the baskets that are
going with YOU
Little Jeanette promised faith
fully and despite the fact that the
wagon collided with a Third
Avenue surface car and scared her
terribly, she guarded the precious
things, even in the face of big
police sergeant, who was inquisi
tive.
The collision occurred at Twenty
fifth Street and Third Avenue.
Patrick Cullinane, the aged driver
was hurled to the street and
sustained slight injuries, which
were dressed at Bellevue Hos
pitai.
Patrolman Baker looked into the
wagon and saw the little girl sitting
on the floor, clasping the precious
packages. Baker asked if she was
hurt. and she replied through her
tears that she was just scared. ="
Sergeant Mcguire, at the East
Twenty-second Street Station,
learned that the wagon was on the
way to meet two sisters at the
Grand Central Station, and carried
a trunk and two packages for
them.
He then wanted to look in the
basket, but the little girl would
not have it, declaring:
No, no, Please Mr.. Nice Police
man, you mustn't
Mcguire comforted her an said
he didn't care what was in the
basket, and then Jeanette confd-
ed to him that in the basket, way
at the bottom was a chalice that
the sister superior said must not
be touched by profane hands.
Then the TWO sisters came to the
depot after the brave little girl and
the packages. New York Ameri-
can.
