INTEREST ON CITY FUNDS,

The East oregonian is glad to heag
the Tribune indorse the proposed
plan to collect interest on daily bal
ances OF the city funds, after the
funds have been allotted to the high
est bidder, whether bank, store, news
paper or individual, which can give
the city a sufficient bond for the safe
keeping OF the fund
But while we are advocating inter-
est on city funds and the deposit OF
the funds with the highest bidder, the
salary OF the city treasurer must not
be forgotten. 1t is not right to ask
man to take the place for nothing,
for it requires bookkeeping and close
attention to city interests to conduct
the office.
Either the city should employ a
responsible bookkeeper for the treas
urer or allow him salary to compen-
safe him for the work II the funds
are allotted to the highest bidder.
The city is now paying s25 per
month for a financial agent and
bookkeeper for the finance commit
tee of the city council and with a
slight addition to this compensation,
1t might be possible to have the
treasurer's books kept in good order.
But this matter can be worked out
to suit the city council and treasurer
after the funds are allotted to the
highest bidder. The interest is the
most important matter.
1t is perfectly right and business
like that Pendleton should be draw
ing interest on her daily balances
every day. The people are entitled
to it. Pendleton is no longer a coun-
try village and the city offices should
be brought up to the most modern
methods.
Many thousands of dollars pass
through the city treasurer's office
annually and the. income from this
source will reduce taxes to that ex-
tent and so every taxpayer is vitality
interested.
The council has been backed up by
the people in many expenditures and
in passing bond issues Now let the
council recommend the competitive
bid to bring in a few hundred dollars
additional income from the use OF the
city's funds.

THE FRONTIERSAIAN

once to have tasted the wild pleas
ures of places that have been untrod-
den by man-regions of lost rivers,
and hidden lakes that only the soli-
tary trapper visits is to have a crav-
ing that needs to be satisfied from
time to time. says the Westerner of
Seattle.
Work as he will, the prospector, or
backwoodsman finds himself stop
ping and looking away at the distant
hills. He wants to move on and
quiet the, restlessness that possesses
him, he wants to see how the rivers
and lakes look that have been viewed
by only the creature of the wild since
his last trip. Perhaps 1t is of gold
he dreams-or of skins he can take.
The freedom of the hills belongs to
him, and he only exists when ham,
pered by the restraints of civilization.
| So he turns again and again to look
away-hears a call to come and
obeys.
Frontiersmen there are, who were
never so lonely as when on the
crowded thoroughfare of city, and
on the other hand, people of the me-
tropolls are in a strange land with
out a multitude of human beings.
1t is as narrow an existence to re-
main always in a city as to dwell
apart in the mountains or forests.
But the city, dweller, If he will, can
catch snatches Of the peace of the
hills, can get in close touch with ma
ture, and thus keep himself whole
some and in harmony with the beau
tiful elements of the universe.

OUR OWN NORTHWEST.

ChauRcey Thomas, in the Novem-
Der number of Success Magazine,
writes a fascinating article on the
building up Of the great cities of the
Pacific coast, and on the gradual rise
of one central and pivotal CONNER
cial and shipping center of the coast.
All his deductions lead to the con-
clusion that the traffic which is to
flow from the western half of the
American continent to the orient will,
of necessity, pour through the gorge
Of the Columbia river, down a natural
water grade TO Portland, there to be
loaded into ocean vessels by the
THOUSANDS.
BY nature Portland is fitted for the
commercial throne of the Pacific.
She is situated at the gateway of the
greatest river highway of the western
half Of the continent and there is no
escape from her allurements nor from
her commercial conquest.
Mr.. Thomas has read western SYM
bols correctly.

COURAGE.

Because hold It sinful to despond
And will not let the bitterness OF life
Blind me with burning tears, but look
beyond
It's tumult and its strife;
Because / lift my head above the
mist
Where the sun shines and the broad
breezes blow
BY every ray and every raindrop
kissed
That Gods love doth bestow;
Think you find no bitterness at all?
No burden to be borne, like Chris
tian's pack?
Think you there are no ready tears
TO fall
Because / keep them back?
Why should / buy life's ills with
cold reserve,
To curse myself and all who love me?
Nayl
A thousand times more good than I
deserve
God gives me every day.
And in each one OF these rebellious
tears
Kept bravely back He makes a rain
bow shine;
Grateful l take his slightest gift, no
fears
Nor any doubts are mine.
Dark skies must clear, and when the
clouds are past,
One golden day redeems a weary
year;
Patient listen, sure that sweet at
VIII sound his voice OF cheer.
Then-vex me not with chiding, let
me be.
1 must be glad and grateful to the
end.
l grudge you not your cold and dark
neSs-me
The powers Of light befriend.

NO OIL FAKES.

The East Oregonian hopes there is
no taking" about the Payette oil
well. Nothing would be more bene-
ficial for eastern oregon than a gem
uine oil well in southern Idaho, where
drilling is now in progress in several
places.
But the East Oregonian does object
to bogus oil wells being advertised
for the purpose Of boosting oil stocks
and robbing unsuspecting people 1t
is the curse of all legitimate enter
prises Of this kind that they are fore
ed to support a large number of
leeches which suck blood and give
back nothing in return.
There are oil prospects in Idaho
and Oregon. Payette. Nyssa and On
tario all have excellent prospects,
and sooner or later somebody will
strike the vein and the country will
be revolutionized by that master
stroke of good fortune
But let US wait until we find oil
before talking of gushers and spout
ing wells. Oil land is oil land and
should not be made vehicle Of rob-
berry. Let genuine development pro-
ceed. Everybody welcomes legiti-
mate oil news, but the public should
not be imposed upon.

wANToN WASTE BY THE RICH.

Gertrude Lynch in November Every
body's says of the extravagances
practlced by the idle rich:
OF the various costly accessories, a
pair of gloves is worn but once; and
delicate shoes, made of imported
leather to match the tint of fabric,
suffer a similar eclipse after a de-
but in a ballroom. For many women
pride themselves on never wearing
cleaned garment. After a couple
of wearings they will send an import
ed gown to a second hand dealer.
receiving a 800 bill for the creation
that may have cost $500. The deal
er sells it to an actress starting on
her tour, TO the society leader of a
small town, or to a member of the
demi-monde.
On the other hand the woman who
patronizes the cleaning establish
ments spends there from $150O to
$500 a year. For when one pays
| $50 to have lace gown cleaned after
single wearing; when gloves by the
hundreds and blouses so at a time
are sent to be renovated, it does not
take long to reach a sum that paral-
lels the salary on which many a man
supports a family.

THE MACHINE.

A man buys a $4,000 automobile
and Immediately begins exercising
the most scrupulous care over 1t, to
prevent damage, breaks and wear.
He hires a chauffeur, rents a stall in
a garage, buys the best Of tools and
oil, wipes and rubs and polishes it
daily and acts as though it were a
living thing and could understand his
cooing over It.
But man takes his own body, the
only one he can ever have, and pours
booze into it, stuffs 1t with gorges Of
unpalateable foods, exposes it to the
weather neglects It when its senses
call to him loudly for relief, makes 1t
a swill barrel Of dissipation and de-
bauches it beyond description.
He can buy another automobile
when the old one IS worn out. He
can buy fixtures and fittings and
parts to 1t from any dealer. But his
own body and health he cannot re-
pair nor recover If he wastes and de-
stroys it. Yet many Of US are con-
stanuy wasting and destroying the
body and health and human mind
compose the most marvellous machine
in the universe and yet it is not APP
preclated by too many Of US.

PLEA FOR JOY.

We are the heirs of progress, ours is
the pride Of place.
We who have conquered Nature, We
who have conquered space.
Ours is the victor's pean, triumph
without alloy;
But, sated with gold and glory, we
hunger, we thirst for joy.
Back in the dusky ages, men strug-
gled and fought and fell,
Found life's tale worth telling, en-
joyed it passing well;
Knew not the varied splendors that
our sad hearts employ,
Lacked, it may be, for comfort, bet
never they lacked for joy.
We who have tanned life's lions, have
all but vanquished fate.
Find never life's wine enchanting, or
waste it sooner or late;
Does victor undiluted the souls fresh
youth destroy?
Powers of the bygone gladness, give
us taste of joy.

EDITOR STEAD ATTENDING
THE PEACE CONGRESS-

New York. April i6.-Among all
the attendants upon the peace con-
gress meeting none attract more at
tention than w. r. Stead, the great
English editor. In speaking of the
Hague congress Mr.. Stead said
America should take one step to fur
ther the principles which the Ameri-
can delegates Incorporated in the
convention of 1S99-the recommen-
dation that the usage of duels should
be extended to wars and should be
made obligatory. Article of the
convention, which contains this
recommendation, has not been acted
upon, although the recommendations
were made unanimously, said Mr..
Stead. Mr.. Stead said he did not
look for anything more than an
educational result from the discus
at the next conference. 81 am more
Interested In the proposal that the
executive governments of the world
should endeavor to promote peace by
other and more direct methods than
by merely preparing for war" ne
said. "If they would spend 81 for
peace for every thousand dollars they
spend in war something practical
would be done. on this point Sir
Henry Banneman and Chancellor Won
Buelow are agreed. England will
support the United States where
America takes the lead. and I hope
America will support England where
the latter takes the lead.

What name do you favor?


Probably at its next meeting the
city council will be called upon to
take action in the matter of changing
or not changing the name of railroad
avenue. II 1t is important enough to
merit the changing of Its name, then
the avenue in question certainly de-
serves the very best name that the
city can give it. The Citizen wants
to be impartial. Incidentally, the
city administration does not wish to
take action in a matter of this ma
ture, contrary to the wishes of the
majority of the people interested.
Now is the time for you to say where
you stand. Not only are the columns
of this paper open to a free and i'm
partial discussion of the subject from
all standpoints, but The Citizen will
open voting contest for names for
the avenue. What name do you
want Railroad avenue TO be known by
In the future? If you have choice,
now is the time to make 1t public.
Until Saturday at noon The Citizen
will be glad to receive and publish all
names suggested, and g. the same
time the number of votes I'm favor OF
each name. On the list will be found
space for those who do not desire
a change in the name of the avenue.
Tell The Citizen what you want and
The Citizen will tell your friends and
enemies alike. Express your views,

is changed, the city council will at
least know where II stands in making

City of Mexico, April IA fright
ful loss Of life snd property was
caused by an earthquake early Mon
day morning. 1t is reported that the
towns of Chilpancingo and Chilapa,
1876 miles southwest of here, were de-
stroyed, and another report says that
the city of Tixtla, between these
towns, was also destroyed, although
no direct news has reached here from
the latter place.
A telegram to the National Bank of
Mexico here states that 500 were kill
ed in Chilapa and Chilpancingo. but
the government officials do not be-
lieve this report. The houses there
are low and massive and were built
to resist earthquakes.
1t is known that the shock extend
ed over 2,600 miles of territory in the
southern half of the republic, and
was one of the most severe ever ex-
perienced in this country. eXcelling
in force those of San Francisco, Val
paraiso and Kingston.
Telegraph wires are down and no
word has been received from Acapul-
co. Messages from as far north as
San Luis Potosi and as far south as
San Juan Baptista report the shock
felt in varying degrees. From these
reports 1T would seem that the earth
tremble was wider in extent than any
other in half a century.
No word has been received from
the districts in which the volcanoes
of CoIima and Jorullo are located
and apprehension is felt that they
have burst into eruption and are add
ing to the destruction.

Special 10 The Evening Citizen.
FL Paso, Texas. April I6.-The
threatened walk-out of the painters
and paperhangers took place here
this morning. In all about seventy
five men are affected by the strike.
The union demands from the en-
ployers $3.50 per day for painters
and 1915 for paperhangers, and an
eight-hour day. They also demand
the closed shop. Negotiations have
been In progress between the en-
ployers and the unions for the past
two and one-half months. but the en-
ployers have remained obdurate.
The men have been receiving from SO
to $3.50 per day-the latter in rare
cases. 1t is said that applications
are being continually received from
non-union men for membership in the
union and that the strike practically
includes all the skilled men in the
line in the city.
The timers and boilermakers of
the Southwestern shops both OF
whom have been out on strike for
some time still remain unemployed
and for the present there seems no
hope of settlement. On both sides
the leaders show no signs Of conces-
sion and the resumption of work l.
therefore indefinitely postponed.

BRYAN'S MEETING In
THE INTEREST OF PEACE.

New York, April 16.-Advices are
being circulated to the effect that
the Brooklyn Democratic club din
ner in honor of william Jennings
Bryan tonight will be of more than
local importance in that it will be
the means of reuniting the Massa-
chusetts democracy. 1t is pointed
out that until Mr.. Bryan's recent
visit to Boston, the factional diH-
agreement in the democratic party
there, which had started over the
nomination of John b. Morgan for
mayor had reached the stage of de-
cided bitterness Now IL is adver-
tised that both Massachusetts factions
will be represented at the Brooklyn
dinner tonight. 1t is announced that
George Fred Williams will be one
of the principal speakers, and he
will ne accompanied by Chairman
Feeney, of the state committee, and
Colonel Drinkwater, while the other
faction will be headed by Henry NJ.
