WHAT PENDLEToN NEEDS.

Yesterday it was impossible to Sc
cure roll of butter in Pendleton,
because a shipment from the outside
did not arrive. This seems like the
fable of the man dying of thirst while
wading in a beautiful river.
Last week two carloads of eastern
bacon were distributed to the towns
of Umatila county. Every day sees
eastern products passing through
Pendleton, which might well be pro-
duced right here, within our own
dooryards.
The idea of Pendleton, situated in
the heart of fine dairying country,
being out of butter or cream, is posi-
lively unreasonable. 1t is impossible
to find a better dairy or creamery
country than that offered on the foot
hill region of the Blue mountains in
this COUNTY 1t is out of the question
to surpass the Butter creek and Hud-
son bay alfalfa pastures for natural
butter and dairy features.
And yet Pendleton's creamery can
not secure cream sufficient to supply
the home demand. Umatilla county
people refuse to engage in dairying
when that business yields a handsome
income from the money invested.
| What Umatilla county needs is c
few settlements of thrifty German ol
Scandinavian families who will engage
in small farming, exclusively. To thii
end all the real estate and land com
panies should work. There is no neeC
for any more people who will no
engage in the small but highly profit
able industries.

THE MAN WHO WINS.

The man who wins is the man who
works.
The man who tolls while the next
man shirks;
The man who stands in his deep dis
tress
With his head held high in the dead
ly press
Yes, he is the man who wins.
The man who wins is the man who
knows
The value of pain and the world of
Who lesson learns from the man
who fails
And a moral finds in his mournful
walls:
Yes. he is the man who wins.
The man who wins is the man who
stays
In the unsought paths and the rocky
ways,
And, perhaps, who fingers, now and
then,
To help some failure to rise again,
And he Is the man who wins!
And the man who wins is the man
who hears
The curse of the envious In his ears,
But who goes his way with his head
held high
And passes the wrecks of the failures
by
For he Is the man who wins

PLANT FOR THE FAIR NOW.

The East Oregonian hopes that It's
Umatilla county readers will not feel
bored with the frequent reference to
the coming county fair of 1907.
But the truth is that we must plant
now, for the fair, or It will not be
what It should be.
The 1906 fair was an excellent
event. one OF which the state may we'll
be proud. But the increasing devel-
opment of the county and the exper-
fence of the first year should make
the 1907 event still more satisfactory.
Every settlement In the county
should have a large booth, well filled
with products and portraying in en-
phatic terms the wealth of its soil
and the industry of its citizens.
Plant some special crop now. Lay

IF HARTMAN, THEN OTHERS.

It is rather surprising that the ad-
ministration of President Roosevelt
should center upon E. H. Hartman as
the arch-conspirator in the crooked
deals of Wall street, while John D.
Rockefeller is still at large and un-
punished.
Why should Hartman, who is prac-
tically a new hand at the business, be
singled out for an investigation, when
that dyspeptic old pioneer who has
been crushing the life out Of inde-
pendent industries for quarter of a
century, is still chuckling over his
latest blow to the independent oil COM
pany?
If the administration can catch
Hartman. it can catch Rockefeller.
II it can find crookedness in Harri-
mans deals, it can find multiplied
rascality under the pious robe of the
"oil king"
Let US have a really square deal.
John D. is getting old. He will not
be on earth much longer and will
shuttle out some day with his sins
unpublished, his wrong-doing unre-
buked, while Hartman has a good
chance to live a number of years yet.
Let us hurry along the investiga-
ton and beat the devil to Rockefel-
ler's case.

The business men of San Francisco
have no one but themselves to blame
for the unspeakable corruption of
the city under the Schmitz- Ruef ad-
ministration. Most of the influential
business men of the Bay city live
over at Berkeley or at San Jose or
Oakland or some other fashionable
residence district and have no vote in
San Francisco. That Is how Schmitz
was elected it is said. Many of the
leading business men of the city we're
disfranchised by having their resi-
dence elsewhere, leaving the Ruef
forces in absolute control. 1t is a
severe lesson-but 1t is fashionable.

A DAY..

The wind today is like a thing that
sleeps
Worn out with signing, and the
heavy sky
Over a silent earth broods silently
AS one who some mysterious vigil
keeps.
And all the little. happy sounds OF
earth
Are stilled as fearful Of some un-
known thing
Like eourtiers at the death-bed OF
king
When the white presence chills the
pulse of mirth.
And in my heart today the selfsame
fear
OF one who waiting, waiting, turns
to see
Upon his threshold black -garbed
Tragedy
Shrilling with awful laughter, IT am
here!"

Everybody's.

1t was feared at the very opening
of the sale Tuesday that 1t might
have to be postponed as the buyers
demanded that two-thirds of one per
cent be deducted for tags and buck

their bids by reason of getting this
