Nearly half q century ago an old lady

received with considerable oredence In the

somewhat classical nature. In the
front seat there sat an old Cow
puncher.' with his hat in his lap, and
with a disguised look on his face,
evidently bored to quite an extent
with this classical music. AS soon as
the violinist, after a few explanatory
remarks, commenced the Serenade,
the mans face frightened up, and
his eyes remaineg fastened upon the
player, and when the last melancholy
note had died away and as quickly as

top If his voice. "Play her again, old
man; play her again." His request
was granted.

pie realize how far-reaching and vital
is the work of the newspaper In bring
ing settlers into a country.
Ask the new settlers about how
they became acquainted with the
country. Nine out OF 10 will say by
reading Of 1t In the papers Ask new
business men how they became first
attracted to the country Nine out of
10 will say they heard of an opening
through the newspapers. The news
papers are the mirrors of the COM
munlty. The public sees the opportu-
mites offered by the community
through the news items.
And aside from the material de-
velopment in which the newspaper
assists, there is a spiritual develop
ment, an invisible yet potent work
which the clean, conscientious news
paper may do for the community by
advocating the best and upholding
the right at all times.
Wrong fears publicity Men whose
occupation is detrimental to society
want the truth suppressed. If a news
paper is conscientious and fearless 1t
can carry on an elevating and noble
work by developing the better ten
dencies and by discouraging the evils
of society.
And thus while 1t is helping to dig
bitches and lay out towns and build
dams It can also lay the foundation
for good government and encourage
high standards at the same time.
And while your strawberry farmers
become rich and move to town to be-
come bankers, you have the same old
faithful servant telling its story of
your births, deaths and marriages,
your triumphs and your expansions
and repeating with delight the story
of the transformation of the Wilder
ness. You still have the same old
friend, recording your daily history,
bringing you new friends and writing
the obituaries of the old ones, noting
the new homes which dot the will
derness, putting into words the doings
of yourselves and your neighbors and
leaving a written record of every
humble member of the community,
whether he gets into police court or
runs for office, the newspaper keeps
pace with the world just the same
and when you search deep down
among the foundation of society TO
find one of its best loved and most
useful institutions, you will find the
homeless printing press occupying a
prominent place on the front row Oh

NO MORE PASSES
To RAILROAD MEN
CANNOT RIDE FREE WHILE
SEARCHING FOR WORK
New Railroad Rate Law Says EN-
ployes Must BE i'm the Discharge of
Their Duties. When Riding Upon
Free Pass-Interstate Commerce
Commission Gives an Interpretation
of the New Rate Law.

Since the enactment of the railroad
rate law, at the last session of con.
gress, the provisions of which ure tc
go into effect on January l. 1907
there has been much speculation
among railroad men as to the pro-
visions of the law regarding free
passes granted railway employees
travelling in seac1 OF work frcm one
part of the country 70 another.
Through the courtesy of railways,
employees in the train service, engine
service, telegraph department and
other branches of railroading have
Noe0 furnished with free transporta-
tiOn upon the request of the various
hrotherhoods to which they belong,
and this custom has become so gen.
eral and far-reaching, that it has not
been questioned.
Railroad men out of work have
been assured of transportation while
travelling in search of employment
and in this way have been enabled to
60, free, to where work was plentiful
If the provisions of the act prevent
the companies from granting this
form of transportation. it will work
severe hardship on railroad men,
who will be forced to buy tickets,
something unheard of in the history
of railroading.
The East Oregonian has just secur-
ed a ruling from the interstate Com
merce commission on this question
and according to the ruling, no rail-
road man is entitled to free pass
unless he is actually working for the
company giving him the pass, and in
the discharge of his actual duties at
the time of securing the pass.
This evidently abolishes all free
passes to travelling railroad men in
search of work. Conductors and
others interested in the matter have
been interested to know what the
ruling is on this point, and the East
Oregonian takes pleasure in present.
ing the decision of the commission as
follows:
The provisions of the act relative to
the issuance of free tickets, free trans
portation or free carriage to employees
of carriers apply only to persons who
are actually in the service of the car
riers and who devote substantially all
of their time to the work or business
of such carriers.
But the commission does not con-
strue the law as preventing a carrier
from giving necessary free trans
portation to a person travelling over
its lines solely for the purpose of at
tending to the business of, or perform
ing a duty imposed upon the carrier,
nor from giving free carriage over its
lines to the household and personal
effects of an employe who is required
to remove from one place to another
at the instance of, or in the interest
of the carrier by which ne is en-
ployed.
Nor does the commission construe
the law as preventing carrier from

HOW NEWSPAPERS AID DEVELOPMENT

sturdy citizenship which now blesses
this country.
Homeseekers depend upon the press
largely for information concerning
new countries. Not day passes that
does not bring letters from eastern
people begging for the truth about
eastern Oregon. These people are
hungry for homes, hungry for the
freedom and keen and virile spirit of
the west.
Should Send Papers East.
Every reader of a Umatilla county
newspaper should save every paper
and send each one east, after reading
1t. 1t is a shame to waste that which
deserving people are thirsting for.
There is not an issue of a Umatilla
county paper that does not carry
thrilling message of the west to the
crowded easterners who are longing
for home.
Letters from friends in the east tell
me how keenly the news of the agri-
cultural development, the progress of
irrigation, the vast development of
manufacturing and the wonderful pro-
duction of grain and fruits in the
west, interests the wondering people
OF the east. The truth about this
country seems almost Incredible to
the east and as a newspaper man l
have always made 1t my motto to say
that the truth about oregon is good
enough. No need to exaggerate, no
need to paint lurid picture of things,
which in their true state, seem like
miracles to people not familiar with
them.
No self-respecting newspaper will
exaggerate on any subject, and much
less upon the actual condition of a
country about which earnest, deserv-
ing people are seeking the truth.
Newspapers like individuals, must
have character, must have a stand
ard of conduct by which they are to
be judged and to have the reputation
of being reliable and trustworthy and
respected is one of the keenest de-
lights of newspaper. When a
newspaper occupies this high station
In the community It is potent and
virile agency for development. 1t at
tracts people of character, means and
and financial wealth of the communi-
ty.
There are too many papers which
resemble megaphones. They make a
loud noise, but the megaphone is all
there is to II. There is nothing to
warrant the noise. When you go to
see what they offer, you find only the
megaphone.
But there are megaphones in all
trades. There-are irrigators who do
their irrigating on goods boxes IN
town. there are farmers who farm
around the warm stove, there are bus
iness men whose trade is yet unborn,
there are railmakers whose rails are
| yet standing on the mountain, just as
there are newspapers whose lurid
stories fade on close examination.
The press has a mission in the de-
velopment of every country. No man
can be more useful to community
than a conscientious journalist. No
agency can bring more splendid re-
suits to a country than reliable and
dignified newspaper. And in every
state in the union the newspapers are
closely allied with every form of de-
velopment. This work of publicity
goes on so constantly day by day, and
week by week, that the ordinary
reader does not appreciate nor COM
prehend how much free labor for the
community the newspaper does in the
course of a year. And unless the fact
is brought to their attention few peo-
