SKETCH OF UPTON SINCLAIR.

Upton Sinclair, author of "The
Jungle" and other books, was born
in Baltimore, September 20, 1873.
He studied at the college of the city
of New York and Columbia Univer-
sity, paying his way through college
by writing jokes and stories. He
wrote a book of $4,000 words when
he was II. In 1900 he gave up col
lege and went TO Canada to write
"King Midas his first successful
book. For four years he lived in
shanties and tents, often subsisting
on fish and game. During the next
summer he wrote prince Hagen"
The publishers rejected it and during
that time he nearly starved in New
York. Mr. Sinclair then became a
socialist and wrote Manassas" the
first of a civil war triology, in a
shanty that he built near Princeton.
N. ]. His most striking work, "The
Jungle" was written in 1905 and de-
scribed conditions of a horrible ma
ture alleged to exist in the great
packing houses of Chicago. The
charges which the author made
against the so-called beef trust at
tracted the attention of the president
of the United States. A federal in
vestigation was ordered and the re-
suit was great change in methods in
the packing houses, thorough clean
ing up and a betterment of the liv7
ing and working conditions in the
packing-hous district Another re-
suit was the enactment by congress OF
| rigid meat inspection law.

"PENDLETON DAY."

Monday will be "Pendleton day at
the district fair.
This day, while it is the opening
day, and many features of the fair
will necessarily be incomplete, should
be made an event. Pendleton can
make it such. She has that record.
Let us wake it the banner day Of
the fair. Let us fill the pavilion with
people from the opening to the clos
ing of the gates. Let US make a rec
ord attendance on "Pendleton day.
There will be room for everybody
and everybody will be needed.
For a portion of the day, anyway
let every home and every business be
closed and let us go to the fair. Let
the turnstiles at the entrance to the
pavilion tell a story on "Pendleton
day." which will always be matter
of pride to Pendleton.
The fair is held but once each year,
and surely 1t can claim undivided at
tention from this city while 1t is in
progress. Enthusiasm Is contagious.
If Pendleton gets it, good and strong,
it will spread.

THE TRYST.

Life has been sweet together, here,
dear heart.
'Twere sad If we should journey on
apart!
So, If l go and leave you, I will wait
A lonely spirit, just outside the Gate
Aye, whatso-er the outer darkness be
I'll stay through its appalling gloon
for thee!
And ii you go from Earth, o promise
dear,
That just beyond the portal you'll b'
near.
Patient and beautiful as in the Older
days
You stood beside me through. th'
Blame or Praise
Waiting to clasp my hand and jour
ney on
We two, into the Mystery, from Dawl
to dawn!
So; when we part We'll meet beyon'
the Gate!
This be our tryst, dear heart: "Pl
wait" "I'll wait"

TOWARD PENDLEToN

The people of Grant county ana
the interior of Oregon are reaching
toward this city, trying to complete
a telephone line from Dale to ,Ukiah,
H. order to be in direct communica-
tion with Pendleton.
An agent of the people of that sec
ton is now in Pendleton making an
effort to raise funds, by public sub
scription, for the completion Of the
line and Pendleton should see that he
does not go home to his people,
empty-handed.
Those people have been isolated in
the far interior for years. They have
developed a rich section of the state
in the face of untold obstacles and
lack of ordinary conveniences and
they deserve help in their present eff
forts.
Especially is Pendleton interested in
completing this telephone line, since
these people are reaching toward this
city. To place Pendleton in direct
communication with that country
means much for the city and 1t means
more for those people in their isolat-
ed settlements. The completion of a
tele phone line to this city will make
Pendleton the certain headquarters OF
that section and Pendleton must help

LACK OF BEER CAUSES STRIKE

The five stove foundries in Evans
Vile, Ind, are dealing with n strike
whose cause is out of the ordinary.
1t has been the custom in these foun-
dries for the men to lay off Is min
utes in the morning and the same
length of time in the afternoon to
drink beer.
The owners of the five foundries
have been slow to recognize that this
was an unbusinesslike and costly pro-
ceeding. At times the molders have
taken too much beer, with the result
that casts have been spoiled, and
again the stopping has made an in
convenient interruption Of the work
Notice that the beer drinking re-
cesses were to be abolished sent 25O
men out on a strike. The owners
have resolved to hold their cwn, and
the men have agreed to stand out
against this new rule, so that long
vacation Is likely. or course the
strikers are bound to lose in an issue
that ought to have been made long
ago.

cNITY OF RELIGIOUS FAITH.

In Portland are more than a dozen
immense church edifices, valued at
perhaps 100000. These buildings
have been erected and the churches
organized at great cost of money,
strength and energy. They stand as
monuments to the tireless labors of
senominational sentiment. They are
landmarks signifying the dividing
lines running through the religious
faith of the world.
Think what splendid results might
have been achieved, had all this divid-
ed energy been employed in building
zp, in unity of faith, one great relig-
iOus organization; one great church
at the living God!
Here is what the book of books says
OF the unity of religious faith:
81, therefore, prisoner of the Lord
beseech ye that ye walk worthy Of
the vocation wherewith ye are called
With all lowliness and meekness
Eith long suffering, forbearing on'
with another in love.
Endeavoring to keep the unity o.
she spirit in the bond of peace.
THERE IS ONE BODY, AND oNI
SPIRIT; even as ye are called in ont
hone of your callinpi
ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONI
BAPTISM.
ONE GOD WHO Is FATHER OF
ALL, WHO Is ABOVE ALL, AM
THROUGH YOU ALL, AND IN YOI
ALL"
In the face of this substantial cree,
Of unity, think of the millions spen
IN divided energy, in pulling asundei
N building up rival enterprises. If al
the labors of all the denomination
Eere directed along one purely Chris
tian line of activity and all the super
nous capital and energy were used 1
uniting instead of estranging the hu
man family, what a more magnificer
world it would be!
There is but one Road, one Gate
gay, one Goal.

The fair pavilion will be ready to-
night. and the exhibits are now pour
ing in from all sources. Within an
incredibly short time the repairs and
improvements have been made and
the booths arranged. The workmen
and the fair commission have made
new record in this excellent pro-
gress. The work is stimulated by the
permanent, spacious and attractive
fair pavilion may be erected here for
the people Of eastern oregon. In
every hammer stroke of today we are
laying deep foundations for that fu-
ture success.

RICHES ALL IN CITIES.

England prides herself on being
the wealthiest and most prosperous
country in the world, but her wealth
and prosperity belong to the CONNER
cial classes and are very unevenly dis
tributed among the masses of her
people as may be seen from the rap
idly rising tide of socialism in thx
great centers Of population, and the
constant demand for land reform
throughout the agricultural districts.
IT is said that nearly every week in
England there is book published
telling how to get the English peo-
pie back to the land.-Catholic

EASTERN OREGON STATE FAIR.

Would 1t be sacrilegious to suggest
that some day, perhaps not far off,
there should be an Eastern Oregon
State Fair, hl1 in permanent build
mgs, upon ground owned by the state,
at Pendleton?
The great section east Of the Cas-
eades is entitled to such. Its vast
diversity Of products, its isolation from
the state capital, the great distances

ANOTHER TAX DODGER.

Because the Pacific States Tele-
phone & Telegraph company would
escape payment of taxes, it seeks the
overthrow Of the initiative and refer
endum amendment to the state con-
stitution. If the company's contention
is upheld, both the direct primary law
and the local option law will be up
set, while nearly every public service
corporation in the state would escape
paying tithes.
Suit was brought by the state some
time ago against the telephone COM
pany to enforce the payment of the 2
per cent tax. The amount sued for is
$1,000.
The initiative and referendum, and
all laws initiated under it are alleg-
ed by the telephone company to be
unconstitutional, violating the federal
constitution.
This is the same corporation whose
vice president and general manager
\ Louis Glass, has recently been con-
victed of bribery in San Francisco In
an attempt to shut out a rival.
| Whenever the taxation of big cor
poration is at stake, the latter has nc
scruple about buying legislatures, bu
when it is up to the people, as in Ore
gon, and they can't be bought, the
courts are uniformly resorted to t
overthrow laws forcing the corpora
ton to pay the state tolls as th
small taxpayer is compelled to.
