PENDLEToN is FAVORED.

Within the past IS months lumber
has advanced to such an alarming
price that 1t is only approached by
the high prices of cotton and iron.
AS these are the principal materials
used in the manufacture of furni-
ture, and their heavy advance in
price, together with the increased
cost of labor and increased freight
rates have all contributed to the ma
terial advance in the cost of furni-
ture, to the dealer.
Yet as a matter of fact Pendleton
has experienced but slight advances
in the price of furniture, to the pur-
chaser. Owing to the large stocks
carried and the immense amount of
furniture sold in this city. dealers
have been able TO hold the prices
down, since they are able to turn out
such large quantities in short time.
1t is estimated that $780, 900 worth
of furniture is sold in Pendleton,
every year. and people who observe
the large shipments coming to the
city often ask in surprise where so
much furniture goes. But the ques-
tion is answered every day in the
two, four and six-horse teams from
the interior, loaded with Pendleton
merchandise and furniture, destined
for points all the way from 20 to Is
miles from this city.
1t is a compliment to the furniture
trade in Pendleton to say that there
is scarcely any outside buying. The
large stocks carried in this city in
clude nearly every design and class
of furniture manufactured and in
stead of Pendleton suffering from
outside buying, she is actually the
supply point for numerous smaller
towns which replenish their stocks in
this city.
In this as in other mercantile lines,
IL pays to trade in Pendleton because
of the enormous stocks carried and
the wide range of goods offered.

BRANDS.

Whether men admit it or not,
they wear plain, unmistakable brands
designating their ownership and af-
filiations.
Take the illustration of a city
election in any progressive town
where there are issues before the
people. Every man suggested for an
office is Immediately located by the
brands he wears. Nearly everybody
in town knows at once where he be-
longs, what company he keeps, what
his sentiments and habits are and
what he will do in a clearly drawn
issue for or against decency and
good morals.
Public sentiment is a tireless spy.
No man can escape its keen scent.
It knows at glance what a mans
character is, where he is at And
you cannot fool it, either. 1t
scratches through the skin to see
what is beneath and is harsh but
just Judge.
1t is easy to read the brands upon
man, If you watch his life for a
few weeks. It is easy to learn what
company he keeps, how he spends
his time, what element in the COM
munity claims his energies and his
influence, what he will do for better
conditions.
And it is difficult for a man to dis
figure or obliterate his brands. IL
lustrations Of this are seen in Oregon
counties which are now under local
option. Many former saloon SYM
pathizers who fought the introduce
ton Of prohibition bitterly are now
seeking to get into places Of author
ity in the towns of these counties, but
people still recall their former alle-
glance and refuse them recognition.
It may be unjust. Men may change
their views and their actions. But
brands will not wear off. They can
not be obiiterated, seemingly.

THE UNMERCERNARIES.

Jolly good fellows who die for the
death Of it,
Fight for the fun of it, live for the
breath of It;
Catch at the instant and drink of the
minute,
Thinking not, caring not what may
be in it;
Foolish good fellows (and all of us
know it),
Wasting their midnights in being a
poet,
Giving their lives to the life of hui
manity,
Dreaming of fame-that extreme OF
insanity;
Silly good fellows who labor for sci
ence,
Lighting the way for the races re-
lance,
Rearing their burdens with mien OF
a stole,
Dreaming of gratltude-myth unhe-
roic!
All the good fellows who think not of
wages,
Foreign, in art, to the thing that our
age is,
Giving no heed to the weight of the
Golfer,
Taking what fate and not men have
to offer;
They and the like of them, here's a
health to them!
Taint of our lower aims never undo
them!
They will survive us all, passed
through the portal:
Life often jests at what death makes
immortal!

There will be more wheat, wool
livestock, cord wood, lumber and
other Umatilla county products pro-
duced in the county next year than
ever before, because the markets OF
the world are calling for these things
and the ability Of the county to pro-
duce them is increasing. So there
will be more merchandise used, more
provisions needed, more tools and
equipment and facilities required
than ever and thus the business vol
ume Of Umatilla county must and
will be kept up. despite any tenn

NEW RURAL ROUTE STARTED.

The rural mail route running north
and west from Adams is now in oper-
alton and many families living along
the line of the route who have been
getting their mail at Pendleton and
Adams can now have their mail de-
livered at their doors three times
each week.
This is one Of the best public con-
venlences installed in that section
and is evidence that this portion OF
Umatilla county is increasing in ru-
raj population. Only few months
ago the required number Of families
within the legal limits, could not be
found. while now there are more

ONE OF US TWO.

The day will dawn when one of us
shall harken
In vain to hear voice that has
grown dumb.
And morns will fade, Moons pale, and
shadows darken,
While sad eyes watch for feet that
never come.
One of us two must some time face
existence
Alone with memories that but
sharpen pain.
And these sweet days shall shine
back in the distance,
Like dreams of summer dawns, in
nights Of rain.
One Of US two, with tortured heart
half broken,
Shall read long-treasured letters
through salt tears,
Shall kiss with anguished lips each
cherished token,
That speaks of these love-crowned,
delicious years.
One of us two shall find all light, all
beauty,
All joy on earth, tale forever
done;
Shall know henceforth that life means
only duty.
oh, God! Oh, God! Have pity on
that one.

PiOchers Dispose
OF Property
Christensen and 'Harmond
Receive First Payment
on Sale.

Sales of mining claims in this
district continue quite brisk.
The latest sale rumored is that
made by B. l. Christensen and H.
c. Harmond to H. w. Rand and
associates. The agreement for
the sale of the property was
reached during Mr.. Rand's visit
here, the first payment being
made within the last few days,
The territory embraced by the
property sold is considered very
desirable, as it lies very close to
the California-Pioche properties.
AS to the intention of the pur-
chasing party in relation to de-
velopment, we are unable at this
time to state.

ones benefited would be the
land offices and those who do not
care to develop their own mining
claims.
We most heartily agree with
the Paradise Record in their
statement that such law would
have demoralizing effect upon
many mining communities. Let
US consider our own district, for
instance. In some cases large
groups of claims are held by cor
porations and no more than the
amount of work made manda-
tory by statute is done. 1t is
certain that could they have the
option Of paying the $50 to the
government the ground would
lie idle, thus depriving the town
of the revenue to be derived as
well as destroying the possibility
of the opening of mineral pro-
ducers. We would say emphat-
ically no, to such a proposition,
and trust that the representa-
tiveS from Lincoln county IN
said congress will devote their
most strenuous efforts toward the |
defeat of such a movement.
We feel positive, however,
that the gentlemen chosen to
represent Lincoln county under
standing the mining situation as
hey do, would not countenance
he idea for one moment; such
We believe will be the opinion of
he majority of the representa-
ives from the Western States.
William Lloyd and E. F. Freu-
lenthal were appointed by the
'oard of county commissioners
o represent Lincoln county and
n all likelihood both will attend
nd we can feel congratulated
Ipon the fact that our represent !
tives understand the mining i
ituation and what is most need
d for its advancement. (

1t is proposed to amend the
laws so that q claim owner NAV
either do Ole hundred dollars
worth of work annually on each
claim; or, II he SO elect, pay the
government fifty dollars in cash,

In a business way, this amend
ment would result in reducing
the amount of money spent for
assessment work each year at
least seventy-five per cent-for
practically all nonresident claim
owners. and a large portion of
the resident owners accustomed
to hiring their annual work done
would send their fifty dollars out
OF town. to the land office, in
stead of spending one hundred
in the camp. Thus the volume
of business would decrease.
In mining way, there would
be less development done, and
consequently fewer ore bodies

fact, we have heard the express
ion made: What in the world

the railroad?" Such expressions
seems extremely foolish when
we stop to consider the immense
amount of preliminary work to
be attended to, in order that the
celebration may in any measure
be a success.
One would infer from such re-
marks that we are going to cele-
Drate the advent Of the railroad

important committees appear in
this ilsue; that of publicity. A
great Zeal of consistent, intel
Iigent effCvts will devolve upcn
these men. For upon their eff

ber of visitors tlNat will be here,
for we cannot expect visitors,
unless they are aware we are
going to celebrate. We have
the mineral resources. The rail-
road should make it possible for
us to realize substantial profits
from them, therefore we should
appreciate its arrival and show
this appreciation in a proper
manner. We should welcome
the influx of new people TO as
sist in this realization, and we
want to make it an attraction on
Railroad Day.
Some may wonder why this
extravagant discourse on a ques-
ton that is practically settled, |
for their benefit we would say
that its inspiration was derived
from disgruntled opinions heard
on different occasions, which we
hope were actuated from a mis-
information of facts.

Mexican Uses
His Knife
Victim May Die as Result
of Attack.

Monday the preliminary hear
ing OF a Mexican, charged with
an assault with deadly weapon,
was conducted before Justice
Garrison, and the defendant was
held to await the action of the
grand jury. The Mexican is
charged with assaulting and Sc
rlously wounding a section fore
man on the CaIiente & Phoebe
railroad by the name of Patter-
son, near Panaca the latter part
OF September. The wound in
fllcted was a serious one, and
may result in the death of the
victim. Patterson is at present
IN California receiving medical
attention, and the latest reports
from there state his condition to
be most critical. From the tes-
tlmony adduced the attack was
entirely unprovoked. It seems
that Patterson merely requested
the Mexican to move from a DO
sition he had taken on the train.
which ne (Patterson) considered
dangerous, and after turning
stabbed in the back by
the Mexican. Results of Patter-
sons Injuries will be awaited,
and should they prove fatal a
more serious charge will be pre-
ferred.

Southern Lincoln
Has Copper

From a private source we learn
that considerable activity is go
ing on in the Gold Butte district
and in and about Cedar Basin.
Despite the fact that there has
been a sudden drop in the copper
market, those having interests
in the above named localities in
Lincoln county are doing devel-
opment work on many claims,
and making preparations for
shipments of very high grade
ore.
Hon. G.. F. Talbot and Hon.
George S. Brown are associated
with John F. Perkins in some of
the best in the district and have
done considerable development
work. Their claims lie west of
the Lincoln group in Gold Butte
district.
Whitmore and Reese have a
group of claims five miles north
of Copper city, and on one a
shaft eighteen feet deep has been
sunk, exposing body of ore four
feet wide, the ore containing
values of from thirty-five to for
ty per cent copper.
At Cedar Basin, south of Gold
Butte three miles, C. M. Temple
and W. A. Crawford have Sc
cured some good ground and in
corporated. Up to the present
time no effort has been made te
dispose of any stock in their pro-
position, but so fiattering is the
showing on one of the claims in
the group that they are person.

'pment purposes. This property
contains mostly gold values.

'ectly interested in some claims
Xix miles south of Gold Butte,

'pment work. This is a gold and

Perhaps the best property to

property, and the papers stated
