state. About 400 delegates usually at
tend the conventions when some city
centrally located is fixed as the meet
ing place. This year the convention
was held in Davenport, but the attend

let Us BUILD TO PILOT ROCK.

With the grade already finished
the rails and ties on the ground and
only three and half miles of track
to lay, to complete the Pilot Rock
branch of the O. r. & n. it looks
like folly to stop work on that line,
with enough freight in sight to pay
Tor a large portion of the Is miles
the first year.
The East Oregonian suggests that
the people of Pilot Rock, Birch creek
and Pendleton volunteer sufficient
labor to finish laying the track into
Pilot Rock this fall. Let us request
General Manager O'Brien of the o.
r. & y. to furnish the engineers and
foreman to direct the work and han
die the construction train and let the
work be done by the people Of this
community.
It is disastrous to the people of that
section who have stored their work
and whose orchards are bending with
marketable apples to have work stop
pe6 now with no prospect Of being
3 resumed when "the banks open"
The editor of the East Oregonian
WIN personally contribute 10 days la
Dor to the work of completing the
Pilot Rock branch, writing his edi-
ferial for each day and taking care
of team before breakfast if neces-
sary. one hundred men could COM
plete the branch in from 10 to 20 days
and it is believed that the manage
ment Of the o. r. & y. would con-
sent to this plan, while work may not
De resumed until next spring, If the
matter is allowed to rest with other
suspended work on the system.
The completion of the track to Pi-
lot Rock and the operation of a train
twice a week over that line will mean
a saving of thousands of dollars to
the people of that section and if the
line can be completed by volunteer
labor, under the direction of o. R.
& y. engineers and foremen, it
would be profitable and wise and
business-like to begin work with 100
volunteers next Monday morning.
If the labor is contributed the peo-
pie Of Pilot Rock could we'll afford
to board the men while at work to
save the inconvenience Of establish
ing a camp and within two weeks the
line could be completed into that
town and her products could be ship
ped to market this fall.

HOMEMADE POLISH.

In this age Of educational progress
and literary evolution it keeps even
highly educated person busy to fol-
lew accurately all the picturesque
creations in language, spelling and
pronunciation in the mother tongue,
but with all facilities for progress
and personal improvement at hand,
there is little excuse for ignorance.
Books on spelling, pronunciation
punctuation and grammatical express
sion were never so plentiful nor so
cheap as at present, and every per-
son may acquire an excellent home
made polish, although education ac-
quired in youth may be inadequate
to the linguistic marvels of the pres
ent day.
one of the highest compliments
that can be paid to any person, is
paid to DR.. William Henry Phyfe, in
dedicating his little book, 10000
Words Often Mispronounced," to Ed
win Booth. whose accurate and
scholarly pronunciation of the Eng
llsh language has been to the Ameri-
can people for over a generation a
model of excellence and grace, this
book is respectfully dedicated"
1t is true that pigeon English
(business English) slang and swag-
ger have found a large place in the
common education of the present day,
and that the elegant letter writing
and conversational beauty of the past
century have almost entirely disap-
peared from among certain classes Of
excellent people, yet such a state
ment is not a compliment to the ex-
cellent educational advantages of the
present.
Fad following and the license of
great wealth have done more to un-
dermine American culture and Amer
lean morals than any causes.

COMPULSORY SCHOOLS NEEDED

AS the big farmers of Umatilla
county buy out their neighbors and
contribute year by year to the de-
population of the country school dis
tricts. the need of a compulsory
school term, a term which will be
held in every district in the county
every year whether there are five or
so scholars in the district, becomes
apparent.
The East Oregonian believes that
something of this kind must be done
to save the country districts all over
eastern oregon, and especially in the
wheat belts, from abandonment.
If $3.50 were set aside each year for
teachers wages in every district in
the county, regardless of the num-
Der of children, it would insure a
six or eight month term of school and
would induce renters to live on farms
and rear their families in the country.
AS it is the matter of schools is left
absolutely to the directors in the dis
trict and if they have bought but all
of their neighbors, it is natural that
they would discourage school where
they are the only taxpayers and
where the enrolment would be but
meager.
If there were a compulsory school
term, with funds provided for teach
ers' salary, regardless of enrolment,
school census or other bases of school
fund distribution, then renters would
BE- induced to live on farms and the
country districts would not be depop-
ulated although the land may be CEN
centrated in the hands of few.
Something of this kind must be
done within a few years, or else the
only population in the wheat belts
will be concentrated in the towns.
Country life will have been totally
oblterated and all the school districts
abandoned.

ROMANCE AT TOPPENIsH.

"My heart says you are pretty. I
want you bad enough to steal you.
You Gomez" Thus spoke a young
brave of the Snake tribe to the
daughter of Alfred Charles, notable
Yakima Indian, the other night at
Toppenish, asserts an exchange.
The dusky maiden's reply was
brief. "Get your cayuse," she said.
The brave, rejoicing at his con-
quest, got his cayuse and the young
couple rode through the night toward
Pasco, hotly pursued by Alfred
Charley, who did not approve of his
daughters choice. So far as is known
all three parties are still going.
The elopement followed an ac-
quaintance between the two young
people formed during the potlatch

THE MAN AND HIS JOB.

The psychology of making good
when brought down to its final analy-
sis, resolves itself into two factors
work plus success. Hard work with
out results or encouragement, seldom
leaves anything but a disheartened
man who has failed.
Thousands Of faithful men with
brains, in spite of hard work and per-
severance, have fallen short of the
mark. They saw no results and gave
up the game.
But, on the other hand, fortune
hegets fortune, and every victory is
the cornerstone of another triumph
A second order comes easier than
the first and a signed contract fills

The present financial furry In the
east is not due to any weakness in
the great financial institutions Of the
country but it is due to a half dozen
financial buccaneers who have at
tempted to reap millions of dollars
in illegltimate profits from securities
and bonds which have an actual value
Of but thousands Of dollars. 1t Is just
as though a Umatilla county farmer
should boost the value Of his farm to
500. 900 and should sell bonds issu-
ed upon It to that amount, when its
actual value may be but $4,000. The
crash must come some time.

\ CLOSE VIEW
OF THE LUSITANIA.

The "Lustania," OF the Cunard
Line. the largest of ocean liners to
date, has successfully made her voy-
age. She is an unusual ship. Every
modern detail, as far as ships go, is
in her makeup. She has reduced
the actual time aboard ship from
Queenstown to Sandy Hook by hours
end 20 minutes from any previous
record She has afforded her passen-
gers every comfort and luxury pos
sible on the trip. Consequently she
was unusual, and the unusual goes
in this exciting and feverish age.
Her speed record is as follows:
From Damts Rock, Queenstown,
to Sandy Hook lightship. Leaving
Daunt's Rock 1911 p. m, Sunday
September the Sth, arriving at Sandy
Hook lightship Friday, Septembe'
1S at sos a. m:
Monday, $50 knots.
Tuesday, 576 knots.
Wednesday, $40 knots.
Thursday 593 knots.
Friday, 4S1 knots.
Passage, days and "a minutes.
Average speed, 23.01 knots per hour.
The total mileage covered was 27S4
nautical miles. She was the first ship
to enter the new Ambrose Channel at
New York, especially built for ves-
sells of unusual draft. There were in
all aboard the Lusitania 1880 pas
sengers. of whom 4S6 were first class
4S3 second class and 1,121 third
class.
Some idea of the greatness of this
"Leviathan of the deep" may be con-
ceived from the following authentic
description of her when building:
The dimensions of the mammoth
convey but vaguely her size-the fig
ures are as follows: Length, 100 #;
breadth, So IT.; depth tmoulded), so
#, gross tonnage, 32,5O0 tons; dis
placement tonnage, $4,000 tons; load
draught, 81 #. in; height of tunnels,
"a it.; height of masts, 216 IT.
Some idea of her immense bulk can
be had from the statement that If the
st. Paul building, New York City
with its 30S #. of altitude were plac-
ed on top of the Park Row building,
with its $50 IT,, and the "Lustanla'
placed on end alongside she would
overtop their combined height by
over 100 feet.
The three anchors each weigh ten
tons, while the 1900 feet of cable is
composed of 22-inch links, the iron
in which is "a inches in diameter
and the weight of each link about
IL cwts. Every portion of this
harness has been vigorously tested
the links and shackles emerging suc-
cessfully from test strain of 37C
tons.
The "Lusitania" carries eighteen
lifeboats under davits in addition to
large number of life RATS and has
the submarine signalling apparatus.
In order to reach the great sustain
ed speed of twenty-five knots the
"Lusitania" is propelled by turbine
engines of 10000 indicated horse
power, driving four shafts, each OF
which carries one three-bladed pro-

ever before, and the decline in the
value of the Wade home from its
original extravagant cost of $4,000,
to its actual cash value in the mar
ket. simply signifies that somebody
paid a big price for an ornament
which no other man cares to possess,
at its first cost.

WHO COULD FILL THE WANT?

"T have seen many fantastic and
humorous advertisements In the
newspapers during my somewhat
lengthy career" once said Col. Hen
ry Watterson in an address to a con-
vention Of Journalists, "but quite the
most interesting and oldest of these
was an ad. that I CHANGED upon In
London. 1t was printed in the, staid
old Times and, as l remember 1t, II
ran something like this:
"'A young gentleman who is on
the point Of getting married is most

SHAKE"

La Grande and The Dalles papers
have made much noise about a s4O,-
600 residence selling in Pendleton for
but $500, but when their eyes were
opened by the East Oregonian to
several monumental industrial mis-
takes within their own borders, they
now talk more sanely about the PEN
dleton white elephant"
Shake. We are all guilty.
The Wade residence in this city,
originally cost about $4,000, 1t is es-
timated. The grounds were laid out
and hundreds Of shade trees planted
for a magnificent park. A palatial
house, with every costly comfort,
convenience and luxury was erected
without regard to expense. Stone
stairways leading to it were construct
ed at great cost and It was minia-
ture palace with superb settings.
But when Wade failed financially,
p and the house fell into other hands,
It's costly and superb grounds were not
kept up the trees were neglected and
as a residence, and not as an orna-
ment. it sold for what 1t was actual
Nv worth TO any sensible men deslr'
ing a beautiful and convenient home
That is all there is to the story
The price at which the Wade propert!
sold does not signify that any Other
property in the city Has declined II

more likely to win out in a subse-

With the knowledge OF making
good, comes a physical effect on a
