LATE CLOSING TALK

Shall the business houses of We
natchee revert to their old method of
holding open their places of business
until late at night, as was their form
er custom and as is the custom in
the sleepy little towns over the coun-
try The question is raised inter-
mittently every little while and then
forgotten again This week the mat
ter has bobbed up again. But it Is
hardly probable that the merchants
will ever be content to go back to
their old method Of late shop for
the following reasons:
There are about $50 clerks inter-
ested, together with their families,
which represent altogether about i've
hundred people There are very few
people who would be accommodated,
as there are very few who cation
phone to the stores and have their
goods delivered in the day time. The
few farmers who live long distance
away, that cannot get their trading
done before six o'clock, are so few
that the extra cost of keeping open
does not justify the expense.
Under the present method there
are not so many people on the streets
at night. Instead they are at home
with their families where they ought
to be.
The extra lights and fuel is
matter of some consideration.
Added to the above is the fact
that the six o'clock closing idea is
in vogue not only in the cities over
the country, but in every fruit grow
ing district in the state-including
Yakima. Prosser, Sunnyside, Top
penish and the fruit towns of the
Sound.
For these and other reasons it is
hardly to be expected that Wenat-
chez will revert to the old method.

THE BOY AND THE WORLD.

Words of mine must fail to picture
manhood of this earnest youth;
Strong OF purpose, sweet of nature,
- ecker of the simple truth.
Goes ne forth as one that ventures
into lands unknown and far;
Al unseen, our hearts shall follow
where his honest fortunes are.
World of business, world of pleasure,
eager world of right and wrong,
Will you grid the boy with honor, will
you teach him to be strong?
viii you teach him finer living than
he knew in field and glen?
Like unto your mighty structures, do
you build as we'll in men?
Peered he forth, romantic dreamer,
into valleys broad and fair;
Saw the smoke of cities rising, longing
strangely to be there.
His are high and true ideals. and the
goal of all his dreams
Lies where men on business gather:
Are they truly what he deems
Robins call in fields he passes, on his
way to cities great;
How one thrills to hear him answer
trudging bravely to his fate!
Dips the road to valleys hidden ant
just there upon the hill
See him stand and wave his 'kerchief
our God keep you" with hin
still
In his heart a trust heroic and {
courage good to see;
| When will God, in his own goodness
send my dreamer back to me
In our eyes a mist has gathered
watching his self-chosen path
Beams the sun upon his venture
What shall be the aftermath

POPULATION CHANGING.

EVERYDAY on the streets of Pendle-
ton and elsewhere in Umatilla coun-
ty. is heard expressed the deep regret
that old settlers, pioneer business men
and prominent citizens are moving to
Portland, Alberta and elsewhere out
of Umatilla county.
One would think at first glance tnat
these vacated places in the commu-
nifty were really vacant. But such is
not the case.
For every old settler moving out OF
Umatilla county, it is safe to say that
more than one new settler is moving
in. Take the telephone directory, the
city directory, the tax list and scan
them carefully and see how many alb
solutely strange names you will find
added within the past five years. How
many people are there in your neigh
borhood whom you don't know? How
many strangers are there living on
your block?
The places vacated by pioneers are
filled at once by strangers who are
tc stay and become permanent There
are no vacant places. Old acquain-
tances are gone, and the feeling exists
that their places are vacant, but the
school census does not show it to be
true, the telephone and city directories
do not prove that such is the case,
the postoffice tells a different story.
We miss the old and we do not be-
come acquainted with the new set
tier. We feel the absence of familiar
faces but we do not appreciate how
many strange faces are met on the
streets every day. There is perpet
ual compensation in this changing
population. There are no vacan
places. AS fast as one place Is va
Gated by an old settler it is filled b
a new one, and so the average of tn
population is being pushed up steadily

SKETCH OF SENATOR BORAH.

Senator William E. Borah of Ida
no, who has a conspicuous part in the
prosecution of the Haywood case at
Boise, was born June 29, 1865, at
Fairfield, Ill. He was educated at
the University Of Kansas, and after
ward read law at Lyons in that state.
In 1858 he was admitted to the bar,
and In 1891 he settled at Boise, where
he has since made his home.
Mr.. Borah Is a tireless student. He
gives the closest attention to his pro-
fession, and never neglects any pos
sible line Of investigation to strength
en- a case which may have been plac-
ed in his hands. But he does not per-
NIT the necessities of his profession
to divert him from painstaking study
in many other fields, and he is said
to be one Of the most widely read
men OF the northwest
In 1903 he received 22 votes of
necessary &c IN the election for the
United States senate, and last year
when the question Of nominating a
candidate for senator in state con-
.cention wps brought before the peo-
pie, he was successful.

GEESE sHoD FOR TRAVELLING

Every year in the country about
Warsaw, Poland, the geese are shod,
because of the long journey they have
to make to the goose market.
The Providence Journal says: In
the late fall and early winter a goose
market is held at Warsaw, and geese
to the number of 100000 congre-
gate in the town. These geese march
to market Oh foot. Some come from
100 20 $50 miles.away. The average
distance they come from is so miles,
and to protect their feet on this long
Journey they are shod.
To shoe the geese, the gooseherds
first make them walk back and forth
in melted tar With a coat of tar
on their feet they then walk through
fine sand. The result is that they are
shod with a good, strong shoe of mix
ed tar and sand, and 1t protects them

THE WOOD WINDS.

I.
The wood winds sing and the tree
tops sigh,
And the rustlmg leaves breathe a
lullaby
And the songs they sing are sweet to
me,
For ever they breathe of mystery,
The mystery of unknown years,
And years agone with doubts and
fears.
Ever l hear in my wandering
The stories told when the wood winds
sing.
There where the wood winds sing and
sigh.
And swaying pines lean to the sky;
There where the blue glints thro' the
leaves,
And moss to the old dead tree trunk
cleaves,
Is Mother Earth and the cooling sod
Where the soul finds peace-for It's
near to God!
And sweet is the restfulness they
| bring,
The grooming songs that the wood
winds sing.

TESTING COUNTERFEIT BILLS.

The United States government
prints its currency and numbers its
bills in series of four, so that every
piece Of paper money turned out bears
one of the check letters, A, B, C. D.
One of these letters is always found
in two places on United States bill,
in the, upper left hand corner and in
the lower right hand corner. The
placing of the letter on the bill is
not determined by the number of the
bill. The rule is to divide the last
two figures on the note by four
Should the remainder be one, the
check must be a; should it be two, the
check letter is b; three, the check
letter is C; nothing. the letter D.
For example, have before me 6

the check letter is D.
There is a yellow back gold certifi
cate with % as its terminal number
Divide this by four, and we hav

Should this rule of four fail t
work on any United States currenc
note. you may bet all YOU have tina
the money is bad. Some counterfeit
ed bills are right to their check lei
ters. but a great many are not so
the rule of four works. The bill ma
be still bad, but If it doesn't it
surely bad. This rule applies onl
to United States currency, and not

1t doesn't take a minute to figul

, time you should come across bi
that doesn't look exactly right, tai

CELEBRATE IN PENDLETON.

The fact that the people of Umatilla
and Morrow counties own large fair
pavilion in this city which they will
enjoy on the Fourth of July, should,
alone. be an inducement for hundreds
of people from the surrounding coun-
try to celebrate the Fourth in PEN
dleton.
This is the peoples pavilion. They
should enjoy il on every possible oc-
casion. 1t was erected for their en-
joyment and pleasure and affords the
first real, practical place for a cele-
bration, picnic, fair or carnival that
has been permanently established in
eastern oregon.
If the sun is shining hot on the
Fourth of July the covered pavilion
will furnish ample shade. If it is
sprinkling rain it will furnish ample
shelter and as it will be supplied with
plenty of seats and lounging places,
it forms an ideal resting place and
for the celebration.
The program of the celebration will
be rendered in the pavilion and as ii
is in the heart of the city, all the
sports and leading events of the day
will take place close to it so it will
not be necessary for women and child
rem to walk themselves half to death
in going from place to place to follow
the different attractions.
Reduced rates on the railroads viii
make it inexpensive to attend the Gel
ebration here, even from the farther
est corner of the county and the Eas
Oregonian hopes to see this made tn
biggest and most satisfactory celebra
ton ever held in eastern Oregon.

PISCHOT IN LOVE WITH HIS ART,

In Clifford Pinchot, chief forester
of the United States, the people have
an example Of an ideal official which
is seldom seen in this commercial and
practical age.
Pinchot is several times a million
aire, owns an elegant home in Wash
irgton, D. c., is a graduate of Har-
ward, and has taken courses in fores-
try in foreign countries, and devotes
his life TO the study and development
OF practical forestry simply because
he loves it as an art.
It is currently reported, although
not part of the public record, that
Pinchot turns his salary back to the
government, his own personal income
being very large. Money, from the
standpoint of a large salary for his
services, has no attraction for him.
He is practically giving his services
to the people because he loves his
chosen art and is willing to devote
his life to developing practical forestr,
in the United States.

THE PREACHER.

Books! tits a dull and endless strife;
Come hear the woodland linnet,
How sweet his music! on my life,
There's more of wisdom in 1t!
And hark, how blithe the throstle
sings!
He, too, is no mean preacher.
Come forth into the life OF things
Let Nature be your teacher.
One impulse from a vernal MOOD
May teach you more of man,
OF moral evil and Of good,
Than all the sages can.
Enough of science and of art
Close up those barren leaves;
Come forth, and bring with you a
heart
That listens and receives.

LOCAL OPTION AND LONG LIFE.

S. n. wilkins, of the Oregon coffin
trust, who was elected president Of
the Oregon Funeral Directors associ-
alton, which is the official name for
the coffin trust, has been doing busi-
ness in Corvallis for the past IL years
and he said in an address in the con-
vention of the association in Portland,
that during the past four years or
since local option has been in force
in Corvallis, the number of violent
deaths has fallen off so per cent.
This is an advertisement for the
local option movement which it will
be difficult for the saloon men to an
swer. About the only answer they can
| make is that the coffin trust has
made it so costly to die that people
are absolutely forced to live Longer
in order to escape the eXtortion Of
this combination, and that local op
ton has nothing to do with it,
