STRUGGLE OF SAVAGERY.

The results of the pioneer mission
ary work of Marcus Whitman and
Rev. Spalding among the Cayuse and
Nez Perce tribes, are seen every day
in the city of Pendleton and Una
tilla county.
The members of the church among
the Indians today are on a higher
plane, a higher moral level than those
not members. The drunken Indians
are not members of churches. The
most progressive and enlightened
members of the tribe are members of
the church and its influence gives
them a place in the councils of the
tribe which the less intelligent MEM
bers do not enjoy.
If the work of the missionaries did
nothing more than to prevent drunk
enness among the Indians it would be
worth all the sacrifice.
But that work done SO years ago is
doing more than this. 1t is not only
giving the Indians of these tribes a
higher moral level than their breth-
rem, but it is constantly working for
mental and physical advancement.
No other western tribe boasts as
many educated, self-supporting mem

of this tribe have intermarried with
the Umatilas and have lent their up
lifting influence to the members of
the Umatilla tribe until it, like its
cousin. the Nez Perce tribe, is making
a heroic struggle against savagery.
Just little cooperation from the
whites, just a little encouragement in
the way of good examples and good
advice, just a little clean and whole
some direction from the intelligent
white men who are thrown constantly
among the Indians, will greatly ad-
vance the Umatillas.

the exclusion question, are forcing
another coal strike as fast as inso-
lence and injustice can bring 1t.
The east is already filled to over
flowing with ignorant foreigners who
have been imported at the instigation
of the coal barons to hammer down
the prices of labor and menace the
American workingman who dares to
make stand for his rights.
The plutocrats will force the coal
strike. the president and his manful
struggle for decency to the contrary
Notwithstanding. The west must not
relax its fight against the admission
of Chinese to the United states. The
overcrowded labor market of the east
and the arrogance of the big corpor-
ations with millions of ignorant slaves
at their beck are serious matters.
The admission of Chinese would be
terrible, in addition to the present la
Dor conditions in the east.
The coal operators want the strike.
1t will advance coal prices,

THE BEST PERIOD YET,

The foundation for the best period
in Umatilla county is just now being
laid.
This period will come when the arid
sections are reclaimed and brought
under cultivation. There is some
thing elevating, something inspiring in
the reclamation of the desert. There
is no particular glory or satisfaction
in the settlement of land which will
produce crops without irrigation or
preparation. On such land nature
has opened the pathway.
But there is a genuine exhilaration
in the invasion and conquering of the
wilderness. There is genuine inspira-
ton in the work of rescuing absolute
ly waste land from its uselessness.
So when the desert is verdant and
the waste places of Umatilla county
are productive and self-supportine
the real, genuine period of utility will
have been ushered in.

THE ANGELUS.

Bells of the Past, whose long-forgot-
ten music
Still fills the wide eXpanse.
Tinging the sober twilight of the
Present
With color of romance.
hear you call, and see the sun de-
scending
on rock and wave and sand.
As down the coast the Mission voices
blending
Girdle the heather land.
Within the circle of your incarnation
Nor blight nor mildew falls;
Nor fierce unrest, nor lust, nor low
ambition
Passes those airy walls.
Borne on the swell of your long
waves receding.
l touch the farthest Past
l see the dying glow of Spanish glory,
The sunset dream and last.
Before me rise the dome-shaped mis-
sion towers,
The white Preside;
The swart commander in his leathern
jerkin,
The priest in stole of snow.
once more l see Portala's cross up
lifting
Above the setting sun;
And past the headland, northward,
slowly drifting,
The freighted galleon.
o solemn bells! whose consecrated
masses
Recall the faith of old;
o tinkling bells! that lulled with twi-
light music
The spiritual fold.
Your voices break and falter in the
darkness,
Break, falter, and are still;
And veiled and mystic, like the Host
descending,
The sun sinks from the hill!

TO DIsCREDIT STREET WORK.

Two or three years ago the city
council of which ]. r. Dickson was
the ruling spirit at the time, began a
movement TO gravel Webb street, the
west end of which street had been
partially graveled at great expense to
small property owners a couple of
years before, but which had not been
put in decent condition by the city for
reasons unknown.
At the time this last Improvement
was attempted by the city council, the
East oregonian was willing to go
ahead with the improvement and said
so at the time, but the small property
owners who had been taxed heavily
just two years before, protested
against this additional tax and re-
monstrated to the council, so the
East Oregonian opposed the proposed
improvement of West Webb street
because it was one of the poorest
streets in the city and ieast able to
pay an additional tax after having
recently paid one tax for partial i'm
provement.
An additional reason for the East
oregonian's opposition to the i'm
provement at that time, was that 1t
believed then, as it believes now, that
a portion of the council, led by ]. r.
Dickson, proposed the improvement
of Webb street, which 1t knew was
not able to pay the expense, in order
that the people might demonstrate
and the council could then say thai
It was no use to go ahead with stree
Improvement since the people object
ed to it, It seemed at that time to b.
a ruse on part of Dickson and otheri
to discredit street improvement il
order to avoid the expense on thei
own high priced property.
The same kind of a ruse was pre-
sented last summer to discredit tn
law enforcement movement in thi
city, when, it is alleged, as ACTIN
mayor and representative of the sa
looms he caused to be passed the OBJ
noxious Sunday closing ordinance
closing up every place in the city TO
the purpose of turning people ava
from the law enforcement sentiment
after which he Immediately flew t
the seacoast leaving the other mem
bers of the council to bear the odiur
of his act.
Mr. Dickson's present opposition
public Improvement is not differer
from his policy in the past.

REMUNERATION.
Is it false or is it real

Is it false or is it real
That in ages more ideal,
1 was song and you were Sappho; you
were sunbeam, the dew?
For 1 long have felt the burgeon
OF a passion, vague and virgin.
Which YOU quicken to remembrance
of a former life we knew.
Were you stream when 1 was will
low?
Was I shell when you were bill
low?
For your voice has ever echoed
through the bushes of my
heart;
And it seems, as I behold you,
That the very air foretold you,
By the fragrance which, in welcome,
all the budding boughs import.
But at last 1 stand beside you,
And the fate which long denied
you
Yields in recompense, a dearer in
carnation than my dream.
What I sought to what you are,
Love,
Was as twilight to the star, Love,
AS the languor is to summer, as the
murmur to the stream.

sons Magazine.

THE BENEFITS or HISTORY.

The study of history leads young
and eventually to cherish the nobler
deeds that have made good men and
women famous. 1t inclines girls to
emulate the greatest women in those
higher virtues and graces that eXalt
womanhood; and in devious ways It
leads boys to become chivalrous, gen.
teel and patriotic, until they learn to
frown upon vicious criticisms and evil
tendencies that threaten the sanctity
of the home and the progress of good
government. While history, therefore,
enriches the mind and helps to de-
termine the career of young people,
a fair knowledge of the subject Is
absolutely essential to American citi-
zenship with it's accommodating respon-
siblities.
Consequently, I would deplore as a
calamity any effort to crowd out
from our colleges this vastly import
ant subject with substitutions that
are magnified on account of the COM
mercialism they offer.
Let us have more history and as a
result better citizenship to stl engthen
American men and women and forti-
fly them in the faith they hold in our
institutions at a time when the on
coming tide is bringing from every
shore an increasing multitude of for
eigners, many of whom are stepped
and dyed in the venom of dangerous
anarchism because they have never
known how much history was neces-
sary to make the American govern
ment possible.-J. b. Horner, in six

ALL THE WAY TO GO.

Never know the road to travel
Till my feet are on its way;
Always fear the mire and gravel
May o'erwhelm me as l stray;
But each day brings some assurance,
If walk the best I know,
Mine will be the sure endurance
All the doubtful way to go.
Often times 1 go a-straying,
Though, in blindness, / scarce heed;
All the journey thus delaying,
/ must turn would / succeed.
Yet 1 know although 1 wander
Idly vainly, to and fro,
l shall gain the haven yonder,
If that way / strive to go.

PASSUMPSIC.

Last Saturday noon the snow roller,
with four horses and a traverse sled,
was standing in front of the blacksmith
shop, Mr. Landry standing directly in
front Of the horses, when the gong OF the
fiber leather mill sounded, frightening
the horses, which started, knocking Mr.
Landry down and the entire outht
passed over him. The horses ran through
the bridge, going toward Waterford, but
getting swerved from the road they fell
into the cellar of the old Milo Lawrence
barn, dragging roller and sled after
them They were entangled and taken
out not much the worse for their advten-
ture. Mr.. Landry was considerably
bruised about his head. 1t was thought
by those who witnessed the affair that
it was little less than miracle that he
escaped being killed.
The concert by the children, and the
Christmas tree Monday evening, were
well attended, notwithstanding so many
were kept at home on account OF the
whooping cough. This and other things
intertered with rehearsals, so the children
did not have a chance to make inc
preparation they usually do, but an
seemed to enjoy the concert, and the
tree was heavily laden with presents, ioI
young and old. Many surprises added
greatly to the joy of the occasion, among
them being purse of money for Mr. a ana IA
