comes. The following vital statistics
from the New York Evening World
shows what can be done in few years
by small savings:
According to the annual report of
the New York savings banks the num-
ber Of depositors is now $2,75S,295,
and the total of their deposits is over
Sl,4OO. 600. 600, an amount greater than
the bonded debt of the United States.
To all the men who work for wages
or on salaries their only hope for a
peaceful old age and for a life free
from racking money cares is to pro-
vide beforehand for the future. They
should take no risk. When they
speculate they stake their family's flu
ture and their own peace Of mind
against a few dollars. Even We're the
chances eQual-and in the case of a
small man the odds are always against
him-the risk which he takes is vastly
d:sproportionate to any possible gain.
Few men ever heard Of progressive
compound interest, and still fewer
know what it does. One dollar de-
posted in a savings bank which pays
per cent will amount to S2.19 in 90
years. This is simple compound in
terest. But how many men know that
if they deposit 81 every year the value
in 90 years will not be $2.19, but
S2O.e7?
Any man or woman who is earning
wages at all can save 81 week. That
money deposited in a savings bank
for 90 years will amount to s1612. \
deposit of s5 n week will amount to
over $4,000. The annual interest on
this at 4 per cent would be $500
Thus the man who deposits IS a
week in a savings bank can after 90
years draw out Sc a week and still
| leave his wife and children at hi:
death all the money that he deposited
and more than half as much more
There is no paradox or catch in this
It is a plain, simple mathematical
statement of what any savings banl
will do.
Every wife should read these figure!
and go over them herself. They are ac'
curate. The only necessity is to make
the deposit regularly. If, instead o
discontinuing the weekly deposits a
20 years, they are continued for II
years more, every dollar a week will
have become s5S.3S and the S52 /;
year will have become over $4,000. Fo
every dollar which had been deposite,
50 a week can then be drawn ou
without impairing the principal, whicl
has been doubled.
It takes time to make money thi
way, but the result is certain. Their
is no secret about it. no mystery, n
allurement. no dazzling speculation
All that it requires is industry and
little self-deniaI every week. It pay
better than any gold or copper mine
than any poolroOm or bucket shop.

NO DANGEROUS SPEED.

Postmaster George B. Cortelyou has
made a statement which will bring
relief to the minds of railway en-
ployes.
He said upon taking his office a
week ago that he did not intend to
agitate faster speed on railroads, as
ne considered the present schedules
beyond the danger limit in many in
stances. In other words, he, as a
public official, having influence and
authority, would not become a party
to murder by demanding excessive
speed schedules for mail trains.
At least, Cortelyou has a heart in
his breast.
Public officials having less regard
for the common herd" who must
operate trains and engines, have caus-
ed most Of the deaths of passengers
who have been killed within the last
few years on the fast trains.
Cortelyou has set a wise and hu-
name example.

MARK TWAIN GETS HIGHEST PAY

Who is the best paid writer in the
United States? George Harvey, pub
Usher of books and editor of maga-
zines, ought to know. The foremost
authors of the day are on his pay
roll.
Mark Twain" he instantly replied
when asked the question. mo other
man in the history of letters, either
here or in Europe, has ever received
80 cents a word on a contract that is
practically unlimited as to time, and
absolutely without conditions as to
subjects, treatment or anything else.
1t is unthinkable that Mark Twain
should write a story or article and
have it rejected. Even in that incon-
ceivable event, however, he would be
paid 80 cents a word just the same.
Put into language easily understood,
80 cents a word is equivalent to $3.50
per column in an average sized news
paper"

portance because Of the revelations OF
gigantic land frauds.

FOR CIVIC RETIREMENT.

While Pendleton has achieved many
excellent municipal triumphs in the
past, none more worthy than street
paving. there are yet a number of
things to think about and hope for.
Cities like individuals have ideals,
goals for which they strive and as the
individual standard is high, so will
be the civic standard of the city. Here
are a few things yet to be accomplish
ed in Pendleton:
Sweep the pavement at night, when
ali the dust will not fly into open
store doors.
Create a city park on the site of
the old cemetery.
Remove the railroad tracks from
Webb street.
Build a city hall
Place seats on the court house lawn,
with permission from the county
court.
Pave the side streets.
Change the charter to allow further
improvements.
Urge construction of a union depot.
Maintain a permanent exhibit Of
the resources of Umatilla county at
the depot.
Print some literature about Pendle-
ton and Umatilla county.
Help frame the public school pic
lures.
Help prepare and maintain a model
school room.
Secure an occasional food inspec-
ton.
Urge construction of a new thea
ter building.
See that the levee is properly repair
ed and placed in excellent condition
this season.
Secure a gravity water system.
Stop cigarette smoking among
young boys.
Encourage the band

Deyclonmcnt Of saghallen.

The Far East journals, Okrina and
Dalny Listok, published some inform
alton concerning the activity of the
japanese in the southern portion OF
SaEhalien. Thus, on December G, the
railway between Korssakoviski and
Vladimirskoye was opened. This line,
which is only of temporary charac-
ter has cost $1S5,OOO: 1t is 80 miles
in length and has six stations. At
present nearly all the places in South
Saghalien are connected by telegraph.
The japanese government has decided
To intrust the civil administration of
Karafuto, that is, Saghalien, to the
ministry of the interior and not to the
ministry OF war, and a colonial de-
partment for administering Karafuto,
Kokkaido and Formosa will be form
ed in the ministry

THE BUSINESS INSTINCT.

A woman was recently reading to
her young son the story of a little
fellow whose father had been taken
i'll and died. after which he set him
self diligently to work to assist in
supporting himself and his mother,
"would you work to keep mammal
"Why, no." said the little chap,
not relishing the idea of work
"What for? Amt we got good
house to live in" "Oh, yes, my
dear" said the mother, "but we
can't eat the house, you know"
"Well, amt we got plenty of things
in the pantry?" continued the young
hopeful. Certainly, dear" replied
the mother, "but they would not last
long, and what them" "Well, ma
said the young incorrigible after
thinking a moment, wouldn't there
be enough to last until you got an
other husband?"

HE WAS THE "THE BOY"

A New York printer who occupies
a floor In Seventeenth street directed
one Of his clerks to hand out boy
Wanted" sign at the street entrance
a few days ago The card had been
swinging in the breeze only a few
minutes when a red-headed little tad
climbed to the printers office with
the sign under his arm.
Say, mister" he demanded Of the
printer, "did youse hang out this
here Boy Wanted sign"
IT did," replied the printer stern
". "Why did you tear It DOWN."
Back Of his freckles the youngster
was gazing in wonder at the mans
stupidity.
"Hully Gee!' he blurted. "Why
I'm the boy!"
And he was.

JcMcls of English Women.

Many English society women are
the owners of jewels worth the pro-
verbal kings ransom. Perhaps the
largest collections belong to the
Duchess of Portland and the Duch-
ess of Marlborough, but Viscountess
Iveagh is the possessor of one of the
most valuable necklaces IN England.
Her pearls are worth over $S50,000
and took Lork Iveagh a long time to
collect. Lady Rothschild, the Coun-
tess of Dudley, the Countess of An
nesley and Lady Denman of Rox-
burghe and the Marchioness of Duff
ferin both have a large number OF
turquoises.

"GoD' IN THE CONSTITUTION.

The Springfield Republican, in re-
porting the proceedings of the Okla
homa state constitutional cconven-
ton, says:
The debate was long and heated
os to whether the words, "The SUI
preme Ruler of the Universe" or
Almighty God" should be used in
the preamble to the constitution. At
last the latter words We're voted in.
One of the members declared that
1t cost $1,000 to get these two words,
Almighty God" put into the consti-
tuition; but was quieted by another
member who declared it was we'll
worth that sum.

THE MISSING S173,OOO.

The missing $4,000 supposed to
be stolen from the Chicago sub-treas-
ury Is now said to be an error Of fig
ures. The trouble is that a system Of
bookkeeping that will, through error,
keep experts looking a week for the
supposed thief, might be worked the
other way so that a genuine theft
would merely appear like an error in
igures.-Cheyenne Tribune.
