SKETCH OF JOHN WANAMAKER.

John Wanamaker, the great Phil
adelphia merchant. was born in the
Quaker city. July II, 1888. After a
few years of country school life, he
obtained employment in a book store.
where he remained until 1856, when
he removed to Indiana with his father.
He remained in the west but a year,
however returning to Philadelphia in
1857, and starting a small newspaper.
The paper gave promise of success,
but journalism was not the path that
the young man had mapped out for
himself. After working as a clerk
for some time he went into the cloth
ing business on his own account and
soon won for himself great popularity
and financial success.
Mr. Wanamaker was one of the
first to establish what is now COM
monty known as a department store.
| Despite his vast business interests he
has found time to connect himself in
| timately with prominent movements
in the social and religious worlds. He
! has been active also in republican
politics and from 1889 to 1898 he
served as postmaster general of the
United States.

BEGINNING AT THE GROUND.

A high school graduate said to the
East oregonian this summer after the
commencement exercises were over
that he did not know what to engage
in as no matter what boy turned his
attention to at this day, it seemed such
''long pull to success and inde-
pendence.
Such a "long pull" eh?
You are going to make the pull,
anyway, my dear boy. You cannot
escape that. You are going to live
and work at something and you cam
not hope to make a fortune in year.
Look at the grey heads (and bald
heads) all about you. Those are the
telltale symbols of the "long pull" of
which you complain. But they met
the "long pull" most of them, with a
cheerful countenance and a light
heart, and the pull didn't seem so long
after all.
Nine-tenths of the permanent bus
mess men of Pendleton began here
few years ago as clerks, working for
some one else, and doubtless, like you,
complained of the long pull"
But the years flew by. They stuck
to their jobs. They saved their wages
and proved to be ION the square" and
finally were taken in as partners or
took new partners and launched out
into business for themselves. and to-
/ day are among the most respected
and most successful business men in
Oregon.
1t isn't such a 'long pull" after all
Most of these men will tell you that il
seems but yesterday that they began
work in the little stores of Pendetor

and see how many started in here {

them. They met the long pulp il

LARGEST INSANE ASYLUM.

The largest insane asylum in Europe
has just been built in Vienna and will
soon be ready for use. 1t will ac-
commodate 220O patients, but is in 60
separate pavilions, the total cost be-
ing S4,000,000.
The buildings occupy a fine site,
and are so arranged that from every
room there is fine panoramic view
of Vienna and its famous woods. The
60 pavilions are grouped in three sec
tions, one for free patients, two for
those who pay. Warm baths are to
serve for discipline in place of the old
fashioned cells and straightjackets
which took the place of the frightful
tortures inflicted on the insane even
as late as the 18th century.

DIDN'T BELIEVE THE JUDGE.

A good story comes from Missouri.
Judge Fox Of the supreme court, kill
ed a turkey in southeast Missouri the
day after the hunting season closed.
His attention was called to the fact
that he had violated the law, so he
went before the grand jury and made
complaint against himself. He told
the jury that he had made wonder
fully long shot and did not expect to
kill the turkey. He instructed the
jury that it was its duty to indict him.
Especially, it was his duty to know
the law. His want of foresight was
the more inexcuscble. No indictment
was found, and when asked why 1t
was ignored, he was informed that
the jury did not believe that he could
have killed a turkey, as far as he
claimed to have shot.-Kansas City

THE TRIBUNE's NIGHTMARE.

The Pendleton Tribune continues to
answer imaginary attacks, shudder at
imaginary blows and seems to be in
a continual nightmare as a result Of
its position opposing statement No. 1,
which has been so heartily indorsed
by the people.
The people are going to demand
that statement No. is adhered to
however, notwithstanding the night
mares and antics of opposing papers.
This principle which gives the ma
jority of the people the right to select
q senatorial candidate is right and
has come to stay and well may the
Tribune accuse itself, well may 1t have
wakeful hours when it should be
sleeping soundly, and we'll may It see
imaginary blows falling for its oppo-
sition to the wishes Of the people is a
really serious matter.
The Tribune is the only paper in
eastern Oregon opposing statement
No. /. This fact, coupled with the
fact that the editor Of the Tribune is
an avowed candidate for the senate,
will cause many solid people to WON
der what the Tribune is afraid Of It 1t
cannot trust the majority Of the peo-
pie. II it is not willing to stand by
the peoples choice, what is its stand
ard?

WHAT IS THE NATTER.

The Portland Oregonian attempts to
lidicule letter written by a Port
land woman to the Chicago Tribune,
complaining of high prices of the
necessaries of life in Portland.
The woman asks What is the mat
ter with Portland?"
What is the matter everywhere? 1t
might be asked with equal propriety.
What has caused prices of fuel,
fruit, groceries, dry goods, milk, pro-
duce, clothing, everything to advance
Not only in Portland, but everywhere,
in Chicago, New York, Atlanta and
especially in Pacific coast cities where
the cost of living should be reasona-
BILE, have prices advanced.
Many working people, on small sal
aries, simply deny themselves all lux
uries. They are forced to do so. They
cannot pay the bills and live. Their
salaries will not support them and
igve them the luxuries, as was the
case few years ago.
The East Oregonian believes that
the chief cause of these high prices
is the inflated real estate values ir
cities and towns and excessive rents
Real estate values are out of all rea'
son in Portland, Seattle, Tacoma
Spokane and even in smaller towns
and rents are high in consequence
and these excessive values call for bet
ter returns from business and so the
consumer, as usual, pays the bill.
II property values were down with
in reason and rents were within rea'
son the cost of living would be ma
terially reduced

THE GAIN.

Little by little we gain
In clearing the wrongs away;
Little by little we push along,
Though gold is mighty and greed is
strong
But, God, what price to pay
Little by little we cleave
The mountains of selfishness;
Little by little we push ahead,
But, O. the innocent lying dead
And the past that is pitiless!
Little by little the ones
To whom we are calling heed;
Little by little the madness dies.
The madness that looks out of selfish
eyes:
The merciless plague of greed.
Little by little we gain,
But scattered along the way.
The awful way through which we
have come,
Are the heaps of innocents, still and
dumb
o, God, what price to pay!

LIFE AND DEATH.

SO he died for his faith. That is fine
More than most of us do.
But stay! Can you add to that line
That he lived for it, too?
1t is easy to die. Men have died
For a wish or a whim-
From bravado or passion or pride,
Was it hard for him?
But to live; every day to live out
All the truth that he dreamt,
While his friends met his conduct
with doubt,
And the world with contempt
Was it thus that he plodded ahead,
Never turning aside?
Then we'll talk of the life that he
led
Never mind how he died.

SUBMARINE GARDEN.

The amusement sensation of the
near future is to be submarine bo-
tanical and geological garden, with ar
rangements to enable excursionists to
view its wonders.
Pine, the Italian inventor, whose
diving boat experiments began in
1900, predicts that 1t will become as
easy to visit depths of 100 yards in
the sea as to take an automobile ride.
and he foresees that such trips will
be very popular. He finds an entire
absence of any sense of being sub
merged The common notion that
sunlight does not penetrate 100 yards
Is incorrect, and there is sufficient
light even on cloudy days to show
the smallest objects of fine print.

mention should cause the editors of
weekly papers to raise their own
salaries at least % per cent, The At
lanta paper says:
Shrewd, with natural gift for
homely philosophy. intensified by his
close contact with men and things,
essentially an optimist with kindly
viewpoint toward all things human,
only caustic when he is girding at
sham or wrong, the weekly editor is a
citizen eminently worth your cultiva-

Year in and year out he breaches
his inspiring propaganda, hammering
into his constituents the duty of de-
veloping the talents Providence has
placed in their keeping.
He it is, too, who buttonholes the
prospective investor or immigrant,
bearing such eloquent and convinc-
ing testimony touching the attrac-
tions of his town and county as con-
stitutes each one of his kind an active
soldier in the army enlisted for the
development of Georgia.

Mr.. Doud then Informed Policeman
White Of the attempt to pass the
queer money and he went out and
hunted up the old gentleman to get
some information about how much
Of the sare kind OF stuff he still had
in his possession. He gave his name
as Bark and his residence as Lang
don Neb. Bark exhibited to the
policeman all the MONEY that he had
left and there was none that had the
appearance Of being bad, bat he
accepted the situation so easily when
he rendered the money first that 1t
created a suspicion that he might
have some more. Mr.. Bark stated
that he came up here to meet some
man concerning the purchase Of some
land which he supposed from the
correspondence was located near
Mitchell but when he got here he
found that 1t was out In the vicinity
OF Okaton. he went out there and
bought his land and was on bis way
back. It is evident that somebody
has unloaded a queer tepner on the old
gentleman, and having discovered 1t,
pehaps he was trying to get even on
somebody else. He left on the de-
layed Milwaukee for Omaha.

Plenty Of Granite but no Water.

Huron Is having an artesian we'll
drilled from which they hoped to
secure good fire protection. Norbeck
and Nicholson commenced drilling
about the middle of July and they
have worked night and day and
Sundays on the we'll. having reached
a depth of about LAS feet. At that
point they have evidently struck
granite and have gone into 1t a
depth Of five or six feet and have
made but little Roadway since. The
was sent to the state geolopist
and ii he says it is granite the
work will he stopped, for the drirlers
declare that a drill has not been
made to get through the real gran
lite. The we'll drillers provided in
their contract that il granite was
encountered that they we're to re-
ceive $3.50 per foot for drilling and
if the state eeologist says 1T is
granite it means that Huron will
have to pay 5,l75 for tile hole.
Some water was obtained but not
sufficient pressure for fire purposes,
although 1t a be utilized by
pumping the we'll. 1t is not often
that Norbeck and Nicholson have to
give 10 an artesian we'll but they
seem to think that they are stuck
on this proposition at Huron.
