STAINS.

The three ghosts on the lonesome road
Spake each to one another.
whence came that stain about your
mouth
No lifted hand may cover?"
From eating of forbidden fruit,
Brother, my brother"
The three ghosts on the sunless road
Spake each to one another,
whence came that red burn on your
foot
No dust or ash may cover?"
Il stamped neighbor's hearth-flame
out,
Brother, my brother"
The three ghosts on the MINDLESS road
Spake each to one another,
Whence came that blood upon your
hand
No other hand may cover?"
From breaking of u woman's heart,
Brother my brother"
yet on the earth clean men we
walked,
Glutton and Thief and Lover;
White flesh and fair it hid our stains
That no man might discover"
NAKED the soul goes up to God,
Brother, my brother"

WATER AND POWER FOR ALL.

All the city water that Pendleton
would ever need, and electric power
enough to make of Pendleton a sec
ond Pittsburg, from a manufacturing
standpoint, could be secured by tap
ping the Umatilla river and Meacham
creek about the mouth of Meacham
creek, and bringing it to a reservoir
and filtration plant on the hill above
the city.
There such an electric plant could
be installed as is not now known In
the inland empire. Power for electric
lines, manufacturing heating, light
ing. street cars, illuminating streets,
homes, parks, roads and the entire
surroundings of the city could be Sc
cured at a nominal cost.
II the city and w. S. Byers would
get together and bring the water
down a canal to such a reservoir
where it might be filtered for city
use and turned into turbine wheels to
drive dynamos, a new era would be
opened for everybody. The electric
power would, be much more modern
and satisfactory for the Byers mills
and the water now claimed by Mr..
Byers could be diverted into a reser-
voir above the city to the credit and
advantage of both himself and the
city of Pendleton.
The situation in Pendleton now II
embarrassing and aggravating, Th'
citv must have a water supply If
homes to advance. 1t must have cheal
electric power if it hopes to becom
manufacturing and home center
and steps should be taken to utiliz
In some way the water that natur
has placed in the Umatilla river 10
the use of mankind.
II It is necessary to carry the mat
ter 10 congress, now is a good time |
begin. Pendleton needs the river an
has a right to its use. After usin
the water it could be turned bac
into the river to be used again an
again below the city.

DEATH THE ICoNoCLAsT.

I'm the democracy of the dead all
men are equal" said Senator ingalls,.
There is no rank, station or pre-
rogative in the republic of the grave.
AT that fatal threshold the philoso-
pher ceases to be wise and the song
of the poet is silent. Dives relln-
ouishes his millions and Lazarus his
rags, The poor man is as rich as
the richest and the rich man is as
poor as the pauper. The creditor
loses his usury and the debtor is ac-
quilted of his obligation.
"There the proud man surrenders
his dignity; the politician his honors'
the wording his pleasures; the IN
valid needs no physician and the Ia
borer rests from unrequited toll
Here. at last. is natures final decree
in equity. The wrongs of the tim'
are redressed. Injustice is eXpiatet
and the irony of fate is refuted."

AN ECHO OF THE QUAKE.

The San Francisco star publishes
the following editorial upon the or
der to the earthquake refugees to va
cate their miserable temporary homes
in the city parks;
The park commissioners have de-
cided that by August II all the refu-
gees and their belongings must be re-
moved from the public parks and
squares, says the Star. The unfortu-
nate people who have been camped
there ever since the fire of last year
are taking these orders seriously.
In spite of the fact that the Spring
Valley Water company is permitted to
continue its pumping plant in Gar
field square, and the st, Francis hotel
management is cumbering Union
square with its Little st. Francis
building" the refugees, poor in purse
and poorer in influence, are moving.
Each day trucks may be seen going
through the streets loaded with the
miserable shacks that were built in
the parks by the relief corporation,
and which the refugees are allowed
to take away with them.
The story of the building of these
shacks as a miserable attempt to
house the stricken people, is one of
the saddest of the whole relief work
incident.
The shacks were built in the parks
with the understanding that they
were to be removed by August II, the
understanding being that the refugees
who paid Sc a month rental would be
permitted to take their shacks with
them.
From the day this plan went into eff
feet, the parks have been fairly over
run with agents of real estate firms
who have sought to sell these unfortu>
nate refugees lots at figures that
would put a 10-per-cent-a-month
pawnbroker to blush.
Much of the land thus offered is
practically inaccessible, but the
refugees must have some place to
take their shacks or forfeit what they
have paid on them, and the heartless
among the real estate men have fig
ured out that they will have to buy
To be sure, they will be permitted
to buy on the installment plan, but
with lot and shack thrown in, how
little will they have for their invest
ment. This Is one of the most pitifu
features of the whole refugee situa'
ton in San Francisco.

TARDY HoNORS FOR POE.

"A poet come to his own" might
well be said of Edgar Allan Poe, the
erratic, the much traduced and never,
until recently, appreciated author of
THE Raven"
But now he is said to be honored
far beyond many of the greater liter
airy men of his time, whose works had
their day and much of it passed to
oblivion.
The state of Virginia has just ap-
propriated $4,000 toward a memorial
upon condition that the Edgar Allan
Poe Memorial association raise an
equal amount The exact place where
the statue will stand, or the sculptor,
have not been selected and probably
will not be until the full amount is
raised.
This amount is not desired in large
sum contributions. and every college
in the land is to be appealed to. but
contributions will be limited to 500.
The Raven society of the University
of Virginia was the first to respond
with the full amount. to which it was
limited.
Women's clubs everywhere are con-
tributing to the fund and several
Raven clubs and "Raven societies"
of women have been formed both to
assist the fund and for the study of
Poe of whom President Roosevelt
wrote: MANY people consider him
the greatest literary genius this coun-
try has ever produced. He certainly
stands among the three or four great
! est"
Craven clubs" promise to be quite
the fad the coming year, and If they
succeed in a better understanding of
the works of Poe they will be quite
worth while.

THE PEPPER MONUMENT.

At the head of the grave of Colonel
James F. Pepper, distiller and turf
man, late of Lexington, KY, will be
erected a monument bearing statue
of his wife, Ella Offut Pepper. Mrs.
Pepper is a noted beauty. Before her
nrarriaee she travelled abroad, where
she was regarded by many as the most
beautiful American woman who had
visited Europe. Colonel Pepper had
exacted promise from his wife that
she permit her statue to rest on the
monument at the head of his grave.

TEXAS "DRY" FOR 10 DAYS.

A new liquor law passed by the last
Texas legislature provides that all
saloon licenses expired on July ~
and that TO new license shall be
granted within 10 davs thereafter. It
has, therefore, been agreed by the
Texas saloonkeepers to close their
places at the expiration of their IL
censes and keep them closed until the
new licenses are granted, hence for
10 days 1rexes will have prohibition.

AGAINST CONSOLIDATION.
Alpine Votes Against Change in
Boundaries of School
districts.

Provo. March 4.-The trustees of Ameri-
can Fork, Highland and Alpine districts
met here about two weeks ago to con-
slider the change of boundaries of their
school districts, and IL was then decided
that Highland and Alpine would CONSOLE
date. The trustees of the two districts
were to return and submit the decision
to the voters OF their respective districts
and it was thought the voters would
readily acquiesce. From reports of meet
ings sent to Superintendent Eggertson it
seems that Trustee Healy, OF Alpine, at
the meeting In his district moved that a
consolidation be not effected. and the mo-
ton was carried. The consolidation is
therefore off for the present. 1t may re-

racing will continue despite the Aimes'
anti-pooling law, according to the DO
sition taken by the Oaklawn Jockey club
today. No bookmakers were in the es-

today, but anyone wanting a bet found
little difficulty in placing his money with
the handbooks. The jockey clubs legal
representatives claim that the law is de-
fective.
Sheriff Smith again invaded the track
today and arrested one bookmaker and
one of his patrons, making total of
nine arrests in the past two days He
says he will continue to make arrests
until the validity of the lay is established.
John Condor. principal owner of the
track, arrived here today to confer with
Dan Stuart and other officers of the
