for the panic, as would now seem to
be probable. Perhaps the country may
hold high finance responsible when it
comes to considering the matter more
soberly. Moreover, If the admmistra-
ton is successful in checking the pan
ic and in restoring a reasonable de-
gree Of business activity, perhaps
there may be another turn in the tide
of public opinion that will give the
President again something Of that
popularity which seemed a short time
ago to render him largely independent
of the rule that a President with a
term about TO expire loses his hold
upon the country.

already robbed him of those myriad

which were once his prey, and from

IF NOT a PARK, THEN SEATS.

If Pendleton does not intend to be-
gin the making of a city park, then
let us have a benefit band concert
for the purpose OF buying rustic seats
and benches for the court house lawn.
With seats scattered over the lawn
the court house inclosure would be a
very pleasant place in which to spend
the summer evenings. Pendleton is
going to keep her band in practice
and this is going to continue to be
the best musical organization in east
ern Oregon. The city is proud of it.
So why not have benefit band con-
cert, half of the proceeds to go to
the band and half to be used in pur-
chasing seats for the court house
lawn?
When city park is finally created
by Pendleton, the seats would be
available for it and in the meantime
the people can use them in summer
evening band concerts at the court
house. 1t will be a beginning of a
city park.

o. r. & n. IMPROVEMENTS.

The people of eastern oregon do
not fully realize the magnitude of the
improvements nor the increase in the
volume of business on the o. R. & n.
system.
Between Pendleton and Huntington
the track and bridges have been prac-
tically rebuilt in the past four years
at cost of several million dollars. In
the Blue mountains over a mile of
tunnel has been constructed to change
the channel of Spring creek so half
dozen high wooden bridges can be re-
moved and the canyon filled in.
There have been a number of new
side tracks built between stations for
the accommodation of trains and new
station buildings have been erected
at different places.
All of these are permanent improve
ments, adding to the taxable property
of the counties and giving the public
every convenience and safety within
the reach of railroad operation.
And the era of improvement is not
yet over. The depot buildings in
this city are to be replaced with large,
modern structures and the yard IA
cilities here are to be enlarged as the
departments can get to the work.
Station buildings all along the line are
to be enlarged and rebuilt and the
rolling stock is being improved and in
creased as fast as factories can turn
out engines and cars.
Every yard along the o. R. & N.
system in eastern Oregon is filled with
cars and more trains are being run
than ever before. At La Grande and
Huntington two switch engines by
day and one by night are required to

cent brief editorial on better cultiva-
ton of farming land. 1t says:
The largest factor in what con-
temporary calls "the internal expan-
sion of the United States" is not to
be found in the redemption of arid and
semi-arid tracts by irrigation or dry
farming" or in the drainage of the
swamps, even though these enterprises
shall add 100, 900, 900 acres to the area
occupied by agriculturists.
1t will be found in the better use
to which the land already occupied
will be put, through the subdivision
OF unnecessarily large holdings and
more thorough methods of cultivation.
The hundreds of millions of acres
which we boast of having redeemed
from the wilderness" are yet in the
greater part to be redeemed from SLOW
enly and inadequate tillage.
"One acre ,one man" is a modest
expectation of the capacity of our
land when agricultural education shall
have done its work. Yet the realiza-
tion of that expectation would mean
the expansion of the population and
business of the country beyond the
widest figures heretofore presented
as showing their probable growth in
nearby centuries.

The little town of Pilot Rock will

to the laying of tracks for the Pilot

main streets. The o. R. & N. will
make a more serious mistake IL 1t
insists on occupying the main street
with its tracks. Pendleton has an
Illustration of this in the location of
the w. & c. r. track on Webb street.
Both the city and the railroad people
would be glad now if this track were
located anywhere else. AS the town

Umatilla county against the world,
for a sheepraising district! Sheepmen
in this county have saved practically
100 per cent of their 1907 lamb crop.
In Montana heavy losses have been
experienced and in many parts of that
state but so to so per cent Of the crop
will be saved, while the loss of old
sheep during the past winter has been
heavy. Why men will stay in Mon
tana when they can live in Umatilla
county is one of the wonders of hui

TOWARD PROHIBITION.

A prominent liquor dealer of Port
land said to the Portland Oregonian
yesterday that he believes Oregon will
be a prohibition state within a few
years.
The tendency is certainly toward
prohibition.
II the liquor dealers wish to hurry
up prohibition, let them continue to
violate every law passed for the reg
ulation Of the liquor traffic; let them
force weak-backed public officials to
overstep the law, where they can, to
force other business interests to close
on Sunday where the law does not in
elude them in its meaning; let them
continue to sell liquor to minors; let
them continue to harbor gamblers
and encourage houses of ill-fame in
the business districts; let them con-
tinue TO take part in state politics;
Bet them continue to boycott every
man who dares to open his mouth
about morals or common decency in
municipal life; let them go on monop-
olizing good business locations, rails
ing rents and increasing the cost OF
living.
A few more years of these prac-
tices will bring prohibition to stay.
Prohibition is very well liked by the
mass Of the people of Wallowa county
where It has been tried.

the intelligent use of the present till

tricts of the Pacific coast, to make
them continue to produce their pres

than to bring more deserts under cul-

According to the revenue returns
for the first quarter of 1907, Consul
General B. H. Ridgley, of Barcelona,
figures that the amount of cane sugar
produced in Spain during that period
was 3,2S4,067 pounds, as compared
with 7,S05,294 pounds during the first
three months of 1906. From July
1906, to March, 1907, 171,647,21S

THE PASSING OF THE
GRIZZLY BEAR.

1t is noticeable that the early west
ern travellers speak of the grizzly an
the white bear" 1t Is so described
by Lewis and Clark, and James o.
Pattie, narrating his fathers eXpedi-
tion in 1924, spoke of the great num-
ber and unusual ferocity of these
great white bears"
So great were their numbers in
that early day, that in single days
journey Pattie counted 220 of them,
eight Of which had attacked the par
ty and were killed. This was on Sep
tember Is, 1924, while the party was
passing through the territory now oc-
cupied by Cheyenne county, Colorado.
A few days later, further south, the
grizzlies became so numerous that 20
men were required to guard the camp
from their onslaughts each night.
So much for the SOLITARY" nature
of the grizzly back in "the twenties."
Writing of the period of the early
"forties,' General Fremont, in his
mem oirs, speaks of having seen great
herds of these monsters feeding gre
gariously under the oaks of San
Francisco, in California. Such testi-
mony tends to show that the great
grizzly was not always the lone wan
derer that we now know him TO be,
and tends to show, moreover, that he
once liked the valleys better than his
present dreary and solitary abode.
Indeed, the explorers of the west
found him equally at home in the
parchcd Businesses Of the great basin,
in the fertile valleys or among the
iCe-bound peaks, whether feeding up
on berries or bison, herbs or human
tlesh, and everywhere, at all times,
monarch Of all he surveyed"
But he is passing. In the places

he noticed man who, without say
ing word, began to walk round the
animal, examining it attentively OF all
sides. The merchant became rery
anxious, for he feared the man had
found out that his elephant was not
worth much. He took him aside and
whispered in his ear: Il see Gus
toner coming. Do not say a word
until I have sold the beast and will
give you so rupees" The man Looked
az the merchant and wonderfully
complied with his request 1t lap
pened that the customer had more
money than sense, so that he was
easily taken in. When the baraain
was completed and the elephant led
away by its new owner, the merchant
handed the so rupees to the silent
man, saying: Now, I want yoJ to

Tomorrow is Christmas day, and
every reader of the REPORTER will be
engaged in contemplating the little
tokens of rememberances, which are
sure to come from friends. The Re-
PORTER force also will engage like
wise, and as we remember the little
gifts of love. we will also remember
those who are not so fortunate, and if
we have really done the thing that
will give us the most happiness at
this time of the year, we will have re-
membered the needy, and contributed
our mite to make their Christmas a
day of joy.
We venture to say that there will
not be a home in Grand Rapids where

EXCHANGED TWO PATIENTS
William BarteIIs Brought Back
From California.

Most every old settler in Wood
County will remember William Bar
tells, at one time prominent bust
ness man in the city of Marshield.
During his residence in that city he
accumulated quite little money, and
few years ago, he sold out his hold
ings in Wood County, and went west.
1t seems that fortune was not as
favorable to him in the far west as it
had been in this country, and he was
taken i'll with cancer of the mouth.
The impossibility of being cured
weighed upon his mind, until it be-
came impaired, and recently while
taking a boat ride in Los Angeles
county, California, he jumped over
board. He was tished out, however,
and in his clothes was found fully
81, 200. He was committed to the
asylum in that place and it was there
discovered that he was a legal resi-
dent of Wood county Correspon-
dence with the officials here, led to
the discovery, that this county was
also paying for the keep and care of
an inmate of the Oshkosh asylum.
who was legal resident of that far
western county, and last week the
sheriff of that county arrived here
with Mr.. Bartells. who was committed
by Judge Conway, to Oshkosh: and
the other patient, who was legally en-
titled to care in Los Angeles, was
taken back to California.

LOST SOUTH SEAS CONTINENT
Australian Professor Seeks Solution of
Ancient Mystery.

The lost continent of the South
seas is pet study of DR.. Woolnougn
OF Sydney university. The main diff
Guilty in the way Of reconciling exist
Ing conditions with an original great
area was that depths of 1000 fathoms
occurred between the islands. 1t was
necessary to look for land evidence of
faulting or breaking to account for
the submarine depths. The granite
area in Viii Leva was found to be
from 400 to 600 square miles. in ex-
tent, underlying the modern volcanic
rocks. A range of granite mountains
with precfpitous cliffs on each side
gave evidence of heavy faults Great
ing chasms of great depth. He found
the rivers forming marked rectangu-
lar network, an appraised coral reef
zoo feet above the sea level, conglom-
crate rock showing sea shells at a
height of 800 feet above the sea, and
certain tits and tufts which had
formerly been submarine and were
now at a height of 4,500 feet. All
these indicated a tremendous uplift
sufficient to cause greater faulting in

Give Children Stronq Liquor.

Statistics prepared by the pole
forces of London and the large pp.
vincial towns, and issued by the Bit
ish home secretary, show that there's
an extensive practice among WON
in lower-class districts of taking a.
fants and young children into pubic
houses at all hours from early mon
ing until late at night. In many GAGS
women were seen to give infants Der
to drink-as it made them sleepy ad
quiet-and in others to dip the finer
in the liquor and so give the child a
TASTE" Several of the chief constabes
report that it is unusual to find
child much over three or four yers
of age in a public house with its pr
ents, which indicates that the moter
takes the child only when it is 90
young to be left to it's own device.
