THE HEARING IN PENDLETON.

When the Oregon railroad commits
sion meets here on June 4, to hear
the discussion of the local train situ-
alton, every phase of the railroad sit
uation should be thoroughly discuss
ed, with the commission and the rail-
road officials.
Pendleton needs a new depot very
much and the traffic originating in
this territory and the Importance of
Pendleton on the o. r. & N. lines
jrstifies Pendleton in urging that a
new and most commodious building
be erected here.
The Commercial association and
business men should have the griev-
ances of Pendleton in shape to pre-
sent intelligently and forcibly, with
leading attorneys of the city as spokes-
men. This is an opportunity which
will not come again soon, perhaps,
and the city should present its case
fully and forcibly.
There is no question as to the need
of the local train between this city
and Portland, but it will depend upon
the traffic showing Of the territory to
be covered by the train whether 1t Is
ordered placed in service by the COM
mission or not The railroad company
cannot be expected to run any train
at a loss. and there is a large terri
tory between Pendleton and The
Dalles which would yield but little
passenger traffic.
These facts must be considered, no
matter how urgent the need for the
train. and Pendleton should be ready
to show the commission that the traf-
fic available for a local train would
justify the train. 1t is plain busi-
ness matter and must be dealt with
as such. Pendleton's wishes alone, OF
course cannot be urged as a reason
for putting a local train in service.
Pendleton must and can show that the
train is a public necessity and is JUS
titled by the available traffic.
There is no need OF any bitterness
or ill feeling. Pendleton and the o.
r. &, y. officials have always been on
the most friendly terms and they al
ways will be so, and whatever dis
cussions may be engaged in must be
toward this end. But the matter is
now IN for discussion and both parties
w vnacted to make their best
showing

East oregonian to hear expressed.
Senator La Toilette has not been
spoiled by the success of city life. He
has lived sober, temperate, health
full career and has nothing to regret
from his coming to the city, and yet
in his mature years he longs for the
freedom and independence of the
farm-the sacredness and seclusion of
the country home.
Wisconsin is a home loving state.
Once when its wheat lands had been
depleted from constant cropping,
hundreds of its best families turned
their eyes to other states, thinking
that their state would be depopulated
because the wheat land refused to pro-
duce crops.
But some genius suggested clover
and dairying and today Wisconsin
produces s5O,OOO,O0O worth of dairy
products per year and her once de-
pleted wheat lands are the most pro-
ductive in the United States. 1t is no
wonder the call of the country home
is strong there.

THE REVELATION IN NEW YORK.

Governor Hughes is an enigma in
New York state, because the polite
ians have found him to be absolutely
without political ambition.
1t is inconceivable to a professional
politician that man should accept
office for any other reason than that
of gathering in the spoils. When the
politicians found that Hughes did not
want office at all and that after the
governorship was forced upon him, he
did not aspire to the presidency, they
marveled at such man.
He had no ambition" in the ac-
cepted sense of the word. He scorn-
ed the paltry spoils which had been
the goal heretofore in New York. He
spurned the assistance of the ina
chine" He simply did his duty, let
the blows fall where they may.
1t is inconceivable to the machine
that Hughes is simply enforcing the
laws, without "feathering his nest"
1t is incomprehensible to the profess
sional politicians that he simply per-
forms a sworn duty without favoring
the heelers and hangers-on of the
state government.
The same eye-opening revelation
hit the professional politicians of Mis-
souri, when Governor Folk began en-
forcing the law on democrat and re.
publican alike. Before Folks time
in Missouri, law enforcement meant
enforcing the law on the opposing
party, with favoritism to the winners
1t meant that the party in power could
do no wrong. The other fellow was
the law-breaker.
But Folk in Missouri, like Hughes
in New York, despised the spoilsmer
and enforced the law fearlessly. The
result has been a revelation in both
cases.

DISCOURAGE DIVORCES.

Judge Smith of Baker City, has de-
termined to make it more difficult to
secure a divorce in his court, than 1t
has formerly been.
He has decided that there must be
some substantial, bona fide. undeniable
and well supported reasons, besides
"incompatibility of temperament"
hearsay evidence, Jealousy and the
usual desire to find another compan-
ion hurriedly.
This is a healthful and wholesome
sign and the East Oregonian believes
1t should be adopted by every court
in the state. 1t has been too easy to
get divorce, heretofore. People have
been encouraged to break up a home
on the slightest provocation, because
Of the facility of the divorce courts.
It is a serious matter and one in
which society is deeply interested. If
divorces were more difficult to secure,
hasty marriages would be less fire.

be beneficial.

SKY TELLS THEM MUCH.
Heavens Like an Open Book to Men
 Who Follow the Sea.

There is probably no class that can tell more as to what the weather will be from glance at the sky than sea farers. This Is the natural result of their constant observance of the heav- ems for the lack of something else to look at when at sea. Thus the sky be- comes to the mariner an open book, which he reads by instinct as does 8 child the face of its parent. A nayiga- tor will tell you that rosy sunset presages fine weather: sickly look ing, greenish hue, wind and rain; a dark or Indian red. rain; red sky in the morning. bad weather or much wind, perhaps rain: gray sky in the morning; fine weather; high dawn, wind: low dawn, fair weather. Re- markable clearness of atmosphere near the horizon. distant objects. such as hills. usually visible or raised by re- fraction and what Is called good hearing day." may be mentioned among signs of wet, If not wind, A landsman is much more ignorant of the signs of the sky, as he has So many other things to distract his at tention that he seldom takes much mo- tice of It's different phases. which fore shadow so clearly what may be expect. ed in the way of weather.

FRANCE INSISTS
Powers of Europe Are in Sym palhy With inc Demand For
 Indemnity
LOSS AT CASABLANCA

Paris, Aug 30.-The report that France intends to insist that Mo rocco shall pay the heavy expenses resulting from the French military and naval action in the latter coun- try appears to be correct. Germany, Great Britain and the other powers of Europe are understood to be in sympathy with Frances attitude. It is also stated that the otter pow CTS intend to demand payments for the losses sustained by their subjects in Morocco.
 The French cruiser Desaix. which Is due to arrive at. Tangier on Snn- day, was sent there as the result of an interview between the British ambassador here, Sir Francis Bertie, and Premier Clemenceau yesterday, during which the ambassador point ed out the dangerous position of the Europeans at Tangier.
 According to the latest advices re- ceived here from Casablarca the French losses in the fighting near the camp Aug 2S were three men killed and twelve wounded, the killed including q cavalry man of the irregular Algerian force, who was decapitated and whose head was carried off by tine Mools. The en- emy's loss is believed to have been heavy.

WHERE WATER IS COSTLY.
Little of the Precious Fluid is Wasted
 in Death Valley.

The nearest water supply of which Death valley camp could even occa- sionally avail itself was at Ash Mead ows. nearly 40 miles away, on the Twenty-mule trail between Johnny and Death valley, writes David Brandon in The World To-Day. Kelly's well, pre- viously mentioned. provided better wa ter. but 1t had to be hauled farther. much of the way up heavy grade, and the tremendous daily strain on that oasis by the desert mule skin- ners, freighters, left little to spare. Water had to be hauled into camp in barrels. therefore, on six, eight, ten and twelve-team wagons, and the sup ply on hand. was always woefully inad- equate. At best, water cost ten dol. lars a barrel, generally $16; often the price was one dollar for half gallon. and by no means infrequently glass ful required $50 cents. A body snatcher," as the citizen of Death val ley is called, we were told, makes . basin of water go far. Part of it fills the coffee pot; the remainder, face and hands having been washed in 1t several times, suffices for the small laundry necessities and is then given to the burro to drink.

THE FEVER DISTRICT
Sanitary Conditions Where Inc American Troops Are LOcat-
 cd Discussed By ViIIaIdo.

Washington, Aug 3O.-Dr villaldo has made report to the marine hos pital and public health service on the yellow fever conditions from sani- tary point of view, among the Ameri- can troops at Cienfuegos, Cuba, and in that city. He says:
 The American camp is located on small plateau in the outskirts and to the east of the town, and tine mili- tary hospital is within half mile south of the camp and nearer the town than the camp itself. The hos pital shares only one-half the building with private hospital.
 T made a careful inspection of the whole town and found it to be ill fair condition. The streets were very clean and kent in good repair, but in a quarter of the town called Barrie de Matadero' the land Is al- most on q level with the sea and rains and refuse water accumulate lD pools. Another part of the town near the cemetery is a regular swamp, and houses in that vicinity have to be built raised from the ground.
 There is no aqueduct from Cicn- fuegos, and many houses have water reservoirs, where they gather tho rainwater and use ,t for drinking. Some of these tanks are not cover ed; others have wooden cover with hole in the middle about 10 by 10 inches, through which the water is said to be aerated; others were prop. erly covered"

TO HELP THE POLICE
New York May Put in a Force of Bloodbounds to Track
 Criminals.

New York, Aug 30.--A force of bloodhounds to be used in tracking fugitive criminals in the outlying districts, may soon be added to New York's police department. Fourth Deputy Police Commissioner Woods. who has just returned rom Europe, where he observed the work done in several cities by police dogs, is en- thusiastic over the idea. He an. nounced to-day that an experiment. with the dogs is now being made in one of the smaller cities in New York state and that thus far 1t has proved highly successful. If ths experiment continues as successful as 1t now promises, it is expected that police dogs will be in service in this city within few months.

THE NINE HOUR DAY
Workers in Western Railroad Shops Have Been Fiqhiinq
 Long Time For II.


 Chicago, Aug 30-Machinists and other workers in the railroad shops or the west are rejoicing to-day oyer news that the nine hour day, for which the men have been fighting for years, is to be tried on several of the larger rail systems. The change will affect about 2,2OO machinists and aul- timately, if adopted by all the rail- roads, between 15OOO and 10000 elr4 ployes in the shops.
 The roads which aare said to have decided to introduce ths nine hour schedule are the Great Northern, the Northern Pacific and the Chicago. Milwaukee < St Paul The first named roads have also granted the machin-. ists wage advances amounting to an average of 31a cents an hour.
