What the Trip Includes

The entire expense, including rail
trance to the Exposition, hotel bills
for week, ard car fare, IS all to be
borne by us, and all that is left for
the winners to do is to enjoy tn rest.
the sights and the pleasures. So, with
this Issue The Times will inaugurate
its Working Girl jamestown Contest
for Greenville and Washington Coun-
ty.
If the number of paid up subscrip-
tons amounts 10 $4,000, which in a
contest of this kind is consid cred
small, We will also send the lady who
stands second in the contest among
the salesladies and stenographers'
to the positio1l-making three
trips instead of two.
Our reason for offering a second
prize i'll the salesladie5' and stenog-
raphers' contest IS on account of the
stenographers employed than tele-
phone operators.
The paper has made arrangements
with a photographer in the city to
make picture Of the ladies i'll the
contest, and each week we will re-
produce the pictures in the paper
Of those who are in the lead
which will make the contest very in
teresting and attractive to all the city
and out of town readers.

ORIGIN OF ABSINTHE HABIT.

Abslnthe- drinking has been FREE
quently characterized as the curse of
modern France. Abslnthe, which is
distilled from alcohol in which worm
wood leaves have been crushed, is
a peculiarly destructive drink. It's
effects are so much worse than those
of any other alcoholic beverage that
a commission was appointed some
time ago to recommend some way of
checking the ravages of the habit.
The committee has recommended
that the manufacture of absinthe shall
cease in year, and that after two
years its sale shall be forbidden. This
report has been adopted by the COM
mittee on hygiene OF the Chamber of
Deputies and reported to the cham
Der.
1t does not yet appear whether the
nation is sufficiently reused to the
evil to make certain the passage Of
the necessary law.
The absinthe habit has n curious
origin. The French soldiers in AL
giers during the war of 1S44-7 were
advised to mix wormwood with their
wine to prevent or cure the fevers to
which they were liable in northern
Africa. On their return to France
they continued to put the wormwood
in their wine, and introduced the
drink to their friends, and soon the
distillers put on the market what 4:
now known as absinthe, with the bit
ter taste of the wormwood disguised
by anise.

A PLEA FOR UNITY IN OREGON.

The Portland Oregonian makes an
eloquent plea for unity in the repub-
lican ranks in Oregon, but it fails to
sound the keynote Of that unity.
The East Oregonlan believes, from
its observance of public sentiment,
that If the Oregonian and the leading
republicans Of the state would declare
unquallfiedly for the observance of
statement No. / and the election OF
United States senators absolutely by
the people. that the republican party
would be speedily reunited in this
state upon that platform.
Republicans bolt for purpose,
and that purpose, among the rank and
file Of the party, is that they find
something better, something more
progressive, more nearly allied to
their personal ideals, in some other
party.
There is a wide and fearless de-
mand among the mass Of the voters
for the observance Of statement No.
/, the destruction Of machine rule
and the selection Of the peoples
choice for senator. If the leading re-
publicans and republican newspapers
OF the state viii heed this demand
and declare for the observance Of this

PROBLEM OF THE RAILROADS.

In the present high state of pros
perity throughout the country, and
indeed primarily because of 1t, the
railroads find themselves facing the
most serious problem which has ever
confronted them, says the Younth's
Companion.
Certain sections of the country are
markedly agricultural; certain others
produce the raw materials Of manu-
facture; and still others turn ont the
finished product of mills and foun-
dries. All these regions have shared
alike in the era Of good times, and
all depend upon an exchange Of their
products for a continuation OF the
good times.
To make that exchange is the bus
mess of the railroads. Traffic has
grown so much faster than railway
equipment that the roads now find
themselves inadequate to the handl-
ing of it. and a congestion has ap-
Feared which affects not only inter-
state, but international traffic. The
situation is further complicated by
the fact that the enterprises which
furnish business to the railroads are
themselves so prosperous, and re-
quire so much money, that there is a
great scarcity of loanable funds, and
the railroad companies cannot borrow
the money necessary for new equip
ment without paying excessive rates
of interest.
In the very nature of the case no
remedy can be Immediately effica-
cious, and even the railway experts
differ as to what the remedy shall
be. One president has suggested the
changing of the standard gauge from
four feet eight and one-half inches
tC six feet. Another says that the
necessary increase in trackage, term
inals. locomotives and cars would
cost billion dollars year for five
years, and would then be adequate to
the handling only of the business
which will be ready for it.
Electrification, as providing both
increased speed and cheaper motive
power. has been advocated. as has
also the double-tracking of present
single-track roads. This last sugges-
ton would undoubtedly Increase
enormously the capacity of the roads,
since only about $1,000 miles of the
25O. 600 miles of railroad in the
United States is now double-tracked.
Whatever course is adopted, pa
tience on the part of the public will
be necessary, and in the majority of
cases just.

FUTURE OF PENDLETON.

Pendleton has a more unique pros
pect ahead Of her than is enjoyed by
any other city in the inland empire.
La Grande, which is now making
rapid strides, is surrounded by but
limited area and when that is once
settled up to its limit, La Grande will
be done growing There is no hope
xor further expansion.
walla Walla is in the midst Of a
cultivated area which is now well
populated and her growth is naturally
and logically close to its zenith
There is little new territory tributary
and little room for any more popu-
lation near her.
Baker City is surrounded by but q
very limited area of new land which
can be brought into cultivation and
naturally her greatest population /:
perhaps being enjoyed now. Nature
has fixed her limits and no amount
of boosting by man can expand oil
enlarge them.
But with Pendleton the situation is
entirely different, Her promise for
the future is unique and exceptional.
On every side of Pendleton reaching
for miles into the interior in each
direction, are large areas of idle
land which can be brought under cul-
tivation and made to support a dense
population.
This growth will naturally be slow
but the land is here, within reach OF
the city and directly tributary to it
and for perhaps century yet, the
city of Pendleton will add new re-
sources year by year, as the rich
arid soil is brought under cultiva'
ton by degrees.
The reclamation of the arid tracts
will necessarily be slow, because i
requires large capital but Pendletor
will always have this untouched re
source to build upon, and it will b.
developed logically, as the demand
for land becomes more insistent.
So Pendleton is not cramped no
limited. She has a vast idle territor.
which is susceptible of highest devel
opment and which will support al
enormous population and her growtl
will never end as long as there /
snowfall and water sources in tn
Blue mountains, by which to furthe
enrich and develop her great tribu
tary areas Of arid land.
The slogan of the Commercial as
sociation, 10000 population b,
1910" seems a far cry. today, but irri
cation is a marvellous civilizer.

POLITICS AND POLITICIANS.

Senator James B. McCreary Of
Kentucky is out with a positive state
ment that he will be a candidate for
vice president on the next national
democratic ticket.
Mayor Brand Whitlock, the young
reform mayor of Toledo, Ohio, has
declined the democratic nomination,
preferring to stand for reelection on
the principles of the Independent
party.
Four of the state governors who
recently assembled at Keokuk were
quoted as saying that their states
were for Roosevelt alone. They were
the governors of Nebraska, Iowa,
Kansas and North Dakota.
Senator Allison of Iowa and Gov
ernor Cummins, who is an aspirant
for Allisons seat in the United States
senate. have both declared their
willingness to let the primary elec-
tions next year determine the con-
test for them.
william ]. Bryan, when planning
his forthcoming speechmaklng TOUR
through New York state and through
New England, told his managers that
when collecting money to defray the
expenses of the trip they must not
accept contributions from trusts, cor
porations or other large financial in
terests.
Coincident with the recent conven-
tion of the New York Independence
League a confidence in the leadrs in
the various state organizations OF the
| league, who are friends or followers
of william r. Hearst, met in New
York and perfected a temporary or
provisional organization of a Nation,
al Independence League, with Mr..
Hearst himself as chairman of the
national committee. The move is re-
garded by the politicians as fore-
shadowing the launching of a ma
tional Hearst third party at an early
date.

principle, there need be no fear for
republican success in oregon.
But when the mass Of republican
voters hear leading republicans and
leading republican papers declare
against the popular election of sena-
tors they imediately recall the awful
political situation at Salem, biennial
ly when machine politics held sway,
and they naturally talk of boiling,
voting for democrats, staying at home
and otherwise becoming dissatisfied
republicans.
There need be no fear for the sue
cess of republican senator under
the observance Of statement No. 1,
in a state which gave Roosevelt 49,
600, IL republicans give the people
what they want. If they do not give
the people what they want, through
republican agencies, the people will
change their politics, to be sure, and
get what they want through some
other agency.
SO when the Oregonian declares for
statement No. l, it will sound the
slogan of victory for republican cam
didates in the campaign of 1908.

excellent choice and should be read
in every western home.

1t is hoped that the drop In lum-
Der prices on the sound, announced
in the East oregonian yesterday, will
reach the interior where building has
been practically suspended on account
of high prices. If prices were reason
able there would be large amount
of building in Pendleton, Walla
Walla, The Dalles, La Grande and
Baker city, while at present there is
no building to amount to anything, In
progress. Lumber dealers would
make more total profits If they would
reduce the price of lumber and sell
1t to builders than if they hold it at
extortionate prices and allow 1t to
remain in their sheds unused. Prac-
tically all Of the building tradesmen
have deserted the inland empire on
account of high lumber prices.

A MIRROR OF THE WEST.

It was said when Sunset Magazine
became the property of the Southern
Pacific railroad that it would become
simply an advertising medium for
the railroad and that its literary
features would die.
On the contrary, its literary feat
ures took new life when the railroad
company took hold of it. The South
ern Pacific has unlimited means and
can employ the best writers, buy the
best literature and secure the most
attractive features Of western life that
it is possible for money to buy, and
consequently it has become a real
mirror Of western thought and liter
ature.
It's poems and stories are strictly
western in spirit Its articles are Of
western makeup, its editorials are
upon live western topics and 1t de-
serves hearty patronage from west
ern people.
Sunset Magazine distributes 150,-
900 copies monthly, a large proper
ton Of this number going to eastern
cities where 1t reaches actual home
seekers looking toward the west, and
H. may be said that it has converted
more good citizens to the western
movement than any other agency in
the west. With the railroad company
back of It, 1t carries weight which
cannot come to magazines having but
a precarious foundation and not so
well edited.
Unless one knew in advance that
Sunset was a Southern Pacific prop
erty it wouldn't be discovered in the
magazine, for It's reading matter is
entirely foreign to that subject. 1t is
strictly literary, OF high order and

NATURE SPARES

What fortunate provision OF nature
It is. that deprtves the rose Of mental
suffering; for how poignant would be its
grief to discover. in the height Of its
blooming glory, that a canker fed at its
heart, and that its beauty and fragrance
were doomed forever. Nature always
spares the suffering; she is a verltable
rtore-house Of pleasing rewards, for
those who seek her aid. In the years
gone by falling hair and grayness have
cast a gloom over the lives of thousands
of young women. but thanks to the In
vestigations OF scientists the true cauco
