INCOMPATIBLE UMATILLA.

1t is good to be alive this spring
days. .r9
1t is especially good to be alive In
eastern Oregon, and more especially
in Umatilla county.
In no county in oregon is there a
larger crop nor a better crop now
growing than in Umatilla. In no
county in the state is there better
prospect for the home-builder and the
settler than in Umatilla.
Climate, soil, water, transportation
to market and all the necessary ac-
compartments of rich and progress
sive empire are here. And the county
is Just now at the first faint dawn Of
Its best period. The developments in
irrigation within the next five years
will startle the world.
The East Oregonian delights in pic
turing the future of the irrigated dis
tricts of the county, when small
farms occupied by families and highly
cultivated will cover the entire west
and north parts of the county.
In all these triumphs Pendleton will
stand as the commercial center and
distributing point. The future looks
better than ever this spring.

the welfare of the Indians. In this
work every honest man in the COM
munity will cooperate with him.
The Umatllla Indian reservation is
one of the most important in the
United States. The tribe is suscepti-
BILE to great progress in self-govern-
ment and individualism, If assisted by
practical methods from the govern
ment.
1t is to the interest of Pendleton to
have progress among the Indians
They live adjacent to the city and
mingle with our people. Pendleton
must bear the brunt of the Indians
depravity and ignorance, and she is
therefore interested in seeing intelli-
gent progress made by the tribe. Hei
best citizens will give their co-opera'
ton to every effort to make the In
dian better.

SPOoNER'S SUCCESSOR.

While Senator La Toilette of Wis
consin, was in Pendleton a month ago
on his western lecture tour, he spoke
cEtertainingly to the East Oregonian
of the senatorial election which was
then on in the Wisconsin legislature
and which is still hanging fire.
The La Toilette candidate for sena-
tor is Isaac Stephenson, a millionaire
lumberman, aged about so years.
While Stephenson is millionaire, yet
Senator La Toilette said he had been
closely identified with every reform
movement in Wisconsin and has stood
close to the people.
Senator La Toilette was enthusias-
tic over the prospect for the election
of Stephenson, not especially for the
reason that the aged millionaire would
be an aggressive power in the senate,
but especially because one millionaire
senator WOULD BE ON THE RIGHT
SIDE.
La Toilette thought such an exam
pie would have a good effect on the
country, in proving that all rich legis-
lators were not with the corporations.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-05-16
AGAIN-THE ONLY CURE.

If the government owned and op-
Grated the railroads, rates to every
point on the map would be based upon
the actual cost of operating the roads
after providing for Improvements.
There would be no juggling of
rates, no complicated terminal
charges, no differentials, no discrim-
nations, no injustices to isolated ship
ping points, because of lack of COM
petition.
Pilot Rock would be entitled to just
as low a rate as Spokane, Seattle or
Portland, mileage being equal. Every
mile of railroad would earn its pro-
portionate share of the common ex-
pense and there would not be one
rate in competitive territory and an
other excessively high rate in territory
without competition.
All the complicated Incompetent
sible, puzzling tariffs, all the unequal
tiles, all the watered stock dividends
all the determinations would be wiped
out of existence at one stroke.
Really, is it not strange that people
should put up with such unpleasant
conditions, when relief would be sc
easily obtained through government
| ownership?

WOMEN LEGISLATORS.

The new Finnish legislature, which
will be composed of one house only
hereafter, will meet at Helsingfors
May %.
Its meeting will mark in the worlds
political history an extraordinary orig
inal step forward, for it will be the
first national legislature containing
women as representatives and on an
absolute and perfect equality with
men. OF the 1919 legislators, 10 are
women-the first actresses to tread
the active stage of lawmaking.
Naturally great preparations are
making equally by men and women to
celebrate this new day in Finland's
existence.
All the civic societies and clubs, all
organized bodies of students will meet,
parade and welcome the fatherland's
newly elected representatives. En-
thusiastic speeches will be made, ju-
bilant songs will be sung and the
streets of this most northern capital
on earth will be carpeted with flow
ers.

BIGGEST JOB IN UMATILLA.

The position of Indian agent is by
far the biggest job in Umatilla county
or eastern Oregon.
The management Of more property
and the welfare of more people de-
wolves upon the Indian agent than up
OH any other individual in eastern
Oregon, without doubt.
Over s1,OOO,o00 worth of valuable
land, the personal welfare and moral
and financial interests Of 1900 Indians
depend upon the honesty and integ-
rity of the agent, and 1t is no small
matter.
It requires big man of experience,
honesty and prudence to handle the
job properly and to such man who
will deal fairly and justly, the people
of Pendleton and Umatilla county will
give their undivided and cheerful sup
port.
The East Oregonian sincerely hopes
that Agent McFatridge, who comes to
the Umatilla agency soon, comes with
a singleness Of purpose to work for

EARLY CALIFORNIA MONEY.

Coins in California till the fall of
1856 were a queer kettle of fish, says
the p. E. Magazine. More than 60
per cent of the silver and at least 20
per cent of the gold was foreign.
Most of the other gold coins were
private coins. Moffit & Co. got a per-
nit from the government to coin gold.
Their coinage was confined to 10 and
20 cents and were stamped "Moffit &
Co."
We had all kinds of doubloons and
smaller South and Central American
coins. OF the smaller gold coins the
French 20 franc piece led all others.
The English guinea was fairly rep
resented. But it passed for only its
face value, while the other gold passed
for more. The 2O-franc piece, value
1915, went at 81.
There was a still greater discrepan-
cy in the silver coins. A one-franc-
uiece went for 25 cents and the East
Indian rupee, value As cents, went for
so cents; the 5-franc piece, 81. The
French silver represented about so
per cent of the silver circulation.
German silver thalers worth 60 cents
went at 81. Everything above so cents
was 81, and everything above 20 cents
was so cents. A French bank in San
Francisco is said to have got rich ship
ping French coin in exchange for gold
dust. United States coin was scarcer
until the mint was established. In the
| fall of 1856 the banks refused to take
any foreign coins except at heavy
discount. The result was that in a few
months all foreign coin disappeared.
1t proved a bonanza for the saloon
people. They would still give a drink
for a franc, while the banks gave only
12k cents. The saloon people gath
cred them and the rupees in at the old
prices and sold to the banks for bull
lion and made a good thing.
But for a few years we suffered
badly for silver change. Even until
1856 gold dust circulated to consider
able extent in mining districts. But
the scales were always used.
There was no paper money until d
o. Mills &, Co. issued their gold notes
about 1868. In getting change for an
old octagon $50, gold, often as many
as four or five nationalities would be
represented in the change. On all
drafts sent east SO was charged by the
express companies until Adams & Co.
Page, Bacon & Co., failed and left the
field to Wells-Fargo; then 1t was rails.
ed to $5.
Greenbacks were never recognized
as money; only as a commodity. They
were used for buying postage ant
revenue stamps. All mercantile bill
heads and notes had the special con
tract enforcement for gold. And 4
came in mighty handy to Uncle Sam
in 1862 and 1868. The old style Cali
fornian still has an inclining for thu
yellow stuff.

nary expenses of life on their incomes.
Wages are not advancing to any great
extent. Incomes remain about the
same, while the cost of living is con-
stantly advancing.
And the curse of the situation is
that there is no plausible reason for
the enormous advance in prices. The
increased cost of living is "velvet" for
the trusts.
The trusts in the various lines will
drive the people to desperation before
long and a business and commercial
warfare will result which will demor-
allze every line of business which has
been cursed by a trust.

WHAT THE GOVERNORS SAID.

The southerners have a humor of
their own. 1t occasionally has bite
TO it, but 1t Is the bite of good
"heady" cider made out of sweet ap-
pies, not the bite of vinegar. AS an
instance Of 1t heard today the story
of what the governor Of North Caro-
line really said to the governor of
South Sarolina. 1t was only about
the last governor back-not in the
historic times "befo' the wah."
The two governors had met on
some occasion, and the talk had
turned to education. Suddenly the
governor of North Carolina exclaim-
ed: "Thank God for South Caro-
lima"
Took here" said the governor of
South Carolina. "what are you
thanking God for South Carolina
