East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-11-19
LANDMARKS IN PENDLETON

There met in Pendleton yesterday,
two men who seem to the East Ore
gonian to stand for the two distinct
periods of Industrial life in this city
Tom Milarkey who operated the
last Of the big freight teams Of old
freighung days, and John Matheson.
0. r. & y. trainmaster, who actually
run the first locomotive into Pendle-
ton.
The presence of both of these men
in Pendleton attracts no attention
except from the student of industrial
development, but they represent
prominently the two phases of COM
munity life in this city.
Before the railroad came Pendle-
ton and every other eastern Oregon
town lived in an entirely different
atmosphere from that which prevail
ed after the railroad came. Men
were engaged in different employ
ments; stages, freight teams, pack
trains all these had a distinct envi-
ronment, a peculiar setting, which
the coming OF the railroad entirely
removed.
So when the last freight wagon
was pulled into the sheds in Pendle-
ton, La Granae, Baker City, on the
coming of the locomotive. a distinct
ly new life dawned upon these towns
and upon their surrounding country.
Life took on a different aspect. Days
travel was reduced to hours travel
Weeks were reduced to days.
Instead of waiting for months for
shipments of freight coming from the
east by way of Panama, San Fran
cisco. Portland and Umatilla Land
ing, merchants in the interior began
to receive their orders within a few
weeks. The change was marvellous,
complete, bewildering.
So these landmarks of Pendleton
recalling the death of one era and
the birth Of another will always be
interesting to the East Oregonian,
which has lived through the halcyon
days of both of these periods.

ONE EXCEPTION.

We praise her doughnuts and her
pies,
Her biscuit and her cake;
But where's the man who sighs for
pants
Like mother used to make?
She used to take pair of pas
When they were worn and frayed,
And decorate them with a patch
OF some contrasting shade.
And cut them off about the knees
And take the waist in, too,
And say that they for every day
Were just the thing for you.
And then she sent you off to school,
And when you didn't go.
She wondered what got into boys
That they played truant so.
Yes, still we praise her jam, her "jell"
Her coffee and her steak;
But where's the man who sighs for
pants
Like mother used to make?

HINTS OF ARTESIAN WATER.

To the geologist every hill has a
meaning, every valley is a page of
history. The outlook of nature, her
profile, her visage, her Characters
tics all suggest to the student of ge-
ology something of the interior form
alton of the earth.
The different ages Of the earth's
history-the Eocene. Miocene, Plio-
Gene. Tertiary. Cretaceous Glacial
lie folded like the leaves of a giant
book before the geologist and he is
able to judge from surface appear
ances, from the features of the
earth's crust, what lies below.
Looking upon the hills which sur
round Pendleton and taking hur-
1ied glance at the geological history
of the Blue mountain region, a gov
-ernment geologist who visited this
city three years ago, said that in his
opinion, at depth OF less tnah zVVo
feet, lies a vast sheet of artesian
water. sufficient in flow to supply
90 cities like Pendleton with pure
water.
If this man was right, If his cult
is reliable, if his eyes did not deceive
him in the hurried survey of the old
hills surrounding Pendleton, would
1t not be a paying venture for Pen
dleton to investigate?
Can we imagine anything more
profitable and inviting for Pendle-
ton than an artesian we'll flowing
enough water for the city and for all
rthe farmers for 20 miles around? Is
1t not worth a test?

THE SWORD OF DAMOCLES.

The corporations, like the tyrant
of old. have suspended a naked sword
on a horse hair over the head of
President Roosevelt, in an effort to
frighten him out of his determination
to regulate and control the corpora
tions in their relations with the pub
lie.
But the modern tyrants, like that OF
old, have misjudged their man and
instead of the president being fright
ened at their mimic sword in the
shape of a money panic, he continues
his Investigations and announces that
he expects to prosecute and investi-
gate Illegal combinations, without re-
gard to their threats.
DamOcles, when he saw a sword
suspended over him by horse hair,
continued to Jest and laugh at the
banquet. until the tyrant who placed
IL there became alarmed at the mans
fearlessness and courage and quick
ly ordered the sword removed.
Perhaps when the corporations see
that neither the people nor the pres
ident are alarmed at their panic, they
will become alarmed and will make
amends to the public by stopping
their evil practices. Nobody is scar
ed at the "rich mans panic" but the
rich man.

AT EvENTIDE.

High up, in my tower chamber
l dwell from the world apart;
And the rose-flamed sunset glory
Lies warm on my lonely heart.
Beneath me, the roofs of the city
Shut down DER the worlds unrest,
While the beaten Day lies dying
on the Evenings crimsoned
breast.
And up, from the depths of darkness
That shadow the streets below,
A low, hoarse murmur rises
The moan of a worldless woe,
The planning of shackled thousands
That toll in the marts of trade,
With never thought of sunshine
To brighten the cruel shade.
Made part of the ceaseless warfare,
Close-linked with the bootless
strife
They never may flee the battle
They never may choose their life.
Chained down to their round of
labor,
They give no thought OF time;
Their dull eyes seldom lifted
They know not how to climb!
When out through the throbbing
darkness
The lamplights fleek the gloom,
I watch them, bowed and burdened.
Like midgets streaming home.
And I turn to the fading splendor-
The stars shine, large and bright,
And Day. with her pale hands
folded.
Lies down in the arms of Night

SACRED CATTLE IN TEXAS.

A herd Of Burmese sacred cattle
which Tom O'Connor, stockman OF
Goliad, Texas, imported from India
about two years ago, has done so
we'll that the variety will soon be
found upon many of the ranches Of
southwest Texas. They were brought
to this country with the idea that they
could be used to advantage In i'm
proving the breed Of the native cat
tie.
A. P. Borden of Pierce, Tex, and
other representative cattlemen Of the
Gulf coast region made study of
the Burmese sacred cattle in India
before the experiment of bringing
them over here was tried.
It was found in these Investigations
that the Burmese cattle were not sub
ject to the splentic, or "tick" fever,
which is the bane Of the cattle OF
southern Texas particularly when In
PRODUCING stock from "above the
line"
AS a beef animal, the claim is made
that the Burmese are the equal to
any of the breeds Of cattle commonly
found upon the ranches. They fat
ten easily and their flesh is of good
quality. When crossed with other
breeds the result is an improved AMI
NAL, both as to standard of weight
and other important Qualifications

4 NEW NEW ZEALAND.

Oregon may be designated as the
New Zealand Of the United States
from a political standpoint. NO
other state boasts as many progress
.sive laws, as many popular measures
calculated to give to the people the
widest freedom and the most COM
.plete political privileges.
You can count on your fingers the
states which have adopted the initia-
tive and referendum; you can count
on one hand the states which have
even suggested as reality, the cleo
ton of United States senators by the
popular vote; you can name in one
breath the states which have adopted
the local option law or the direct
primary law.
SO when 1t is considered that Ore
Ron is less than half century old,
as a state, has less than one million
inhabitants, is practically .one-third
unsettled. her record for law making
is remarkable.
And she will continue to make pro-
gress in this direction. She has not
yet begun to develop the vital code
of popular laws which may be en-
acted for the progress and happiness
of the people.
Four more excellent laws for the
benefit Of the voter will be proposed
by the initiative at the coming elec-
.tion in 1908. These four measures
are to be the proportional represen-
tation act, the corrupt practices act,
the Limitation Of election expenses OF
candidates and the enactment into
law of statement No. 1, making the
selection Of the peoples choice for
senator compulsory upon the legisla-
ture. The equal suffrage amendment
will also be voted on.
The highest compliment that could
be paid TO the voters of the state Of
Oregon, will be to say that they
have adopted these acts by a large
vote. Oregon has already risen above
party lines, has already listened to
the appeal Of the people and the
ylrlle young men, those just coming
OF age, will be no whit less progress

We are assailed with doleful wall
that in 25 years the timber will all be
gone. Shucks! Let 1t go. That's
what the protective tariff on lumber
is for--to get rid of It all. That's
what our land laws are for-to get

THE WRONG NUMBER.

Patrick was working in the yards
of a railroad. one day he happened
to be in the yard office when the force
was out. The telephone bell rang Wig
orously several times, and he at last
decided It ought to be answered, He
walked over to the instrument, took
down the transmitter just as he had
seen others do.
"Hillo!" he called.

the state. Few towns have ma6S
greater sacrifices for the cause CT
education than has Warren, and to
its High School, which il one of the
best in the state, have hocked stu
dent from all the neighboring coun-
ties. A normal school for tho train
ing Of teachers for Marshall, Kittson,
Rossau, Red Lake and Polk Coun-
ties, is needed at Warren. We be-
lieve, however, that such q school
should not be patterned after the
other normal schools, but should hew
out on new lines, with the object in
view of preparing trained teachers
for the country schools. A manual
training schools for teachers with

be the correct idea.

We publish this week the mess:

We publish this week the message
of Governor Johnson delivered to
the Minnesota legislature yesterday.
1t contains some valuable suggestions
that no doubt will he enacted into
law by the present legislature. The
question of..taxation he considers of
vast Importance in view of the pas
sage of the tax amendment, and de-
votes considerable space to it's discus
sion, under the heads of, taxation of
mortgages, taxation of iron mine,
iron ore royalty tax, and evasion
of-personal taxes. A state depart
ment, of mines is recommended. On
the railroad.ouestion he recommends
further reductions in freight rates,
a two-cent passenger rate, and a re-
ciprocal demurrage law. Insurance,
the Primary election law, labor legis-
lation, and public ownership are some
of the other topics discussed, in a mes
sage, which though not startling, must
be considered strong state paper.

Many important laws enacted by
the last session Of congress went into
effect Jan. l. Perhaps the most i'm
portant is the act providing for pure
food and drugs. Under this law all
packages containing foods, drugs
and liquors must carry label stat
ing the constituents of their con-
tents. The people will know, if the
law is enforced, exactly what they
are eating and drinking. Heavy
fines are provided for failure to prop
erly label the goods, both as to ingre-
dents composing same, and the date
of manufacture. Another important
law is that removing the internal
reyen tax from denatured alcohol
for the benefit of ind ustrial arts and
sciences. In the course of a few years
we believe many farms will have
their own stills for the making of
denatured alcohol for the purposes Of
heat, light and power. The railway
rate bill is also an important law now
in force, prohibiting free transporta-
tion of either passengers or products,
and abolishing passes and all sorts
of discrimination in conducting the
business of the railroads.. All for
the benefit Of the people but time
will soon demonstrate whether they
are or not.

The sacrifice of human life in rail-
way accidents in the country is GER
tainly appalling. 1t is estimated
that at least SO, 900 persons are killed
or injured during the year. Many
causes contribute to this state of af-
fairs the high speed with which
trains are run being perhaps the
princi pal one. The public want to
ride fast, it is said, but we believe
the railway companies are just as
eager, if not more so, that the wheels
move as speedily as possible. 1t is
economy with them to cover the
greatest distance in the least possible
time. If the road can cover the
distance between New York and San
Francisco in day instead of four
days, it means bigger daily earning,
with practically no more expense.
1t would seem however that the
great number Of wrecks must be a
heavy expense to the roads and more
than counter balance the increased
earnings on account of speed. Over
work on the part of train crews is no
doubt responsible for many wrecks,
also. as that causes many mistakes
to be made in giving and executing
orders. Greater safety in travel,
ought to be preferred to increased
speed, and we will get there just the
same. Most people shudder at the
thoue hit of being hurled into eternity
at the rate of eighty miles an hour.
