JOAQUIN MILLER.

Joaquin Miller, "The Poet of the
Sierras," who is in Pendleton this
week, belongs peculiarly to pioneer
Oregon. His experiences, his life, his
poetry are a part of the history, a
part of the growth and development
of the state.
Coming here as a young boy in
1852, he began to grow with Oregon.
As his genius budded and blossomed
in the environment of the Cascades,
the Blue mountains, the Willamette
valley, southern Oregon-all rich in
poetic suggestions, so did the young
state unfold.
No other of the famous poets of
the age have been as close to the
very heart beats of young state or a
pioneer empire as Joaquin Miller has
been to Oregon. He has "roughed
it, in every phase of pioneer life; he
has tasted of every draught of pioneer
peril and privation; he has felt the
touch Of her stinging blasts and has
bathed and reveled in the vitalizing
sunshine of her blessed Junes.
Pioneer Oregon, with all its varied
and strange coloring, is mirrored in
the poetry of Joaquin Miller. The
history of Oregou's developing life is
given expression in his beautiful i'm
ages
And the physical beauty of oregon,
her voluptuous outlines, the fascinat-
ing charms of her face and form have
nowhere else been SC beautifully and
graphically described, as in the poems
of this lover of her mountains and
seas.

THE FOURTH.

dads View Point.)
The Glorious Fourth is coming
With its racket and its noise,
But I've no need to worry
For the safety CT my boys!
I've an option on surgeon,
A physician, and nurse,
The cupboard's full of healing salves-
I've spoken for the hearse
The ice chest holds the skin paste,
The attic's stuffed with tapes,
The bath tub overflows with dope
To stop the different achesl
The Railways decorated
With antiseptic gauze
Which fills up all the passageway
And shelves along the wallis
SO bring along the dear old Fourth,
The racket and the bombs,
I'll show my patriotism
Though l sacrifice my sons!
And then at night when all is done,
I'll take their bruised remains
And sew their cuts and bind their
wounds,
And stop their killing pains!
l hope with gentle nursing
And the doctors expert care
I'll have them well and strong enough
To celebrate next year.

PENDLEToN MOVES FORWARD.

If anything was needed to clinch
the confidence of the people in the
future of Pendleton, it was furnished
yesterday in the handsome vote by
which the many proposed public i'm
provements were carried in the special
election.
The gateway to a wider more
virile, more promising era of growth
and development than has ever been
enjoyed by any city in the inland en-
pire, was opened in this city yester-
day.
Five vital propositions, any of which
would have been considered a mag
nificent forward step, were adopted
without perceptible struggle. Pro-
vision was made in those five meas
ures to improve the streets, extend the
levee, increase the sewer system, build
city hall and Jail. Taken in con-
nectlon with the street paving already
done by Pendleton, and these further
improvements give Pendleton the
most magnificent forward movement
| recorded anywhere in the northwest.
1t is high compliment to the pro-
gressve spirit of the city to announce
the successful issue of this election.
| I, will not only omen the door to
greater home comforts for Pendleton
in the way of better public institu-
tlons and better facilities, but it will
attract homeseekers and capitalists to
the city. People with money to in
vest are not going to a non-progres-
sive, mossback town. They are at
tracted by progress, vim, public spirit
and energy such as have been vividly
displayed in Pendleton's splendid tri-
umph.

THE TELEGRAPH POLES.

Pale in the jostle of men,
Passed by the panic of souls,
Prophets are wandering again
See them?-the telegraph poles!
Naked, prophetical trees.
Miles over field, over fen,
Swift beside rails to the seas,
Motionless move among men.
Chained a miraculous way,
Rounding the world in their flight
Prophets of death in the day,
Warning of life in the night.
Sometimes the file on its march
Pauses with piteous look
Threading a murmurous arch,
Touching a curious brook.
Sometimes a palpitant sound
Falls on the marshes-but now
Whisper sof roots underground,
Mourns an invisible bough.
Birds, to renew weary wings,
Come as of old-hut the wires
Never respond like the strings
Woven in greenly hung Tyres.
strip all the LEAKAGE from life
So let its profit increased
Then, when you turn from the strife
Where is the shadow of peace?"

body's.

BACK TO THE HORSE.

After all, the horse is the most de-

pleasure is the object of riding or
driving with the millions of bicy-

automobiles in use, yet people who
seek genuine pleasure are coming
back to the horse.
