East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-06-07

dleton is working solely for the in
terest of the growing country dis
tricts of eastern Oregon. She does
not seek the advantage over any
other eastern Oregon point. She
wants as good as any other point, but
not necessarily better.
Heppner papers speak as though
there might be a rivalry between Pen
dleton and Heppner in the matter of
securing a local train from Portland.
There is no such rivalry. Pendleton
wants Heppner, La Grande, Baker
City, Athena, Milton and every other
eastern Oregon point to have an
equally good train service with her.
Whatever helps eastern Oregon will
necessarily help Pendleton. She is not
selfish in her demand for local train,
but she seeks TO bring the railroad
facilities of the country up to a stand
ard in keeping with the growth and
business volume of the country.
Pendleton will take her chances, on
an equal footing, with any other
eastern Oregon point and all she
wants is good service for everybody
in eastern Oregon alike.

GETTING IN TOUCH.

Right wholesome, indeed, has been
the effect of the popular election OF
United states senators and the direct
primary law on the political situation
in Oregon.
When the machine ran things to
suit itself there was no need for cam
didates to go out to get in touch with
the people. The machine was the
controlling power and as long as 1t
was glutted and satiated by the spoils
OF office, that was sufficient.
Now, however, the voter has a word
to say. He is a power to be reckoned
with. His wishes must be consulted,
his babies must be kissed by the cam
didates and his wife praised by the
gallant seeker after political favors.
So the officials who desire re-elec-
ton must get in touch. They must
rub against the people. The machine
Is forgotten. Its nasty influence is
gradually disappearing. There Is
more cleanliness, more wholesome
honesty in Oregon politics than ever
before, all because Of the popular leg
islation Of the old populists.

THE ENDLESS DAY.

Sometimes 1 dream OF following the
the sun,
With even pace, from land to land,
afar,
Basking in sunshine with no night
to mar
The endless day, forever but begun,
Then Lhould I see no more the dying
flowers,
The naked trees, the fields FROST
bound and bare,
The snowflakes sweeping through
the Icy air,
Nor long for spring through dreary
winter hours.
And yet-no more to see the sun
arise
And mount the sky, the conqueror
of night,
No more to watch him as he proudly
dies,
In gold ond purple clouds with
drawn from sight
If these were lost, what could we
count for gain?
Better to bear stern winters chill
dlsdatn.
-Ninette M. Lowater.

BEST PAID GOVERNORS.

By recent act Of the legislature Of
Illinois that state hereafter will have
higher paid officials than any other
state government. The salary of the
governor was raised from $4,000 to
1000. and the compensation of 9th :.
er state officers was correspondingly
increased.
The next best-paid governors are
those of New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, each of whom draws
$4,000 a year. Massachusetts, and
Indiana pays $4,000. Most of the 9TH
er states pay $4,000. New Hampshire
and Delaware are on a $4,000 basis.
South Carolina pays $4,000, Texas and
Connecticut pay $4,000, although Tex
as is nearly so times as big as the
Nutmeg state. Many of the legisla-
lures this year, following the lead OF

THE DISAPPEARING ARTS.

There are at least 100 bookkeepers
in Pendleton, earning good salaries,
supporting happy homes, laying by a
surplus for the future, all because
they have learned a profession which
offers good remuneration in the COM
mercial activity of the present age.
But this profession, like that of the
old-time typesetter, seems to be DOOM
ed to destruction by the inventive
genius of the age. Somebody in Chi
cago has just invented machine
which by simple manipulation of a
set of keys can be made to keep the
most complex set of accounts correct
ly.
One man may by use of this ma
chine do the work of half a dozen
bookkeepers in a large banking house,
mercantile or manufacturing estab-
lishment
So the bookkeepers of today, like
the compositors of the last decade,
are doomed to see their occupation
disappear. What will they do?
The soil offers them a refuge. The
homecroft idea, the small tract of ir-
rigated land, the small berry patch,
the dairy COW, the small flock of
blooded sheep, the small apiary, these
must furnish a refuge for the over
flow from the disappearing arts and
professions.
The nation owes 1t to these people
who are thrust Unexpectedly out from
lucrative trade, to furnish them free
homes. 1t is for just such emergen.
cies as this that land stealing by syn
dicates must be stopped.
The soil belongs to those who use II
and not to those who make it means
of speculation. This is the fundamen-
tai basis of society and the world will
be forced to it, sooner or later, either
through intelligent voting or through
warfare. 1t is the inevitable end ant
aim of government.

THE PIONEERS.

Today and tomorrow the pioneers
hold their reunion at Weston. Once
more the old story is recounted, the
old associations renewed.
How the ranks are thinning, how
the roll call is shortened year by
year. The pioneers take no new re-
cruits. No man can buy admission
into this splendid order. No man not
bearing the unfailing mark of the or
der upon his brow can enjoy mem
bership in 1t.
But this country which we enjoy is
a monument to the pioneers. They
reclaimed 1t from savagery, they
planted the first banners upon it's
mountain tops, laid its first founda-
ton stones, reared its first family al
tars, defended it with their life blood.
There are hundreds of the pioneers
yet alive who remember the first set
Elements on Wild Horse creek, on But
Ter CREEK, oh the CiHatiild iiNci, o.
Pendleton, at Weston, Milton, Echo,
Athena and other pioneer places in the
county. This county is comparatively
new. Fifty years ago is not such a
long time and yet those who were
here as young men and women at
that time are now patriarchs, three
score and ten. There are but few of
them left.
There is no better tribute to the
characters of the pioneers of Umatilla
county than the county they have
founded and developed. 1t speaks
more eloquently than any words of
editor or orator. Its progress, its cit
izenship, its advancement, its riches,
its homes, its schools, its institutions
all of these are the work Of their
hands.
Upon the foundations they have
laid here, the present generation, their
sons and daughters will build an i'm
perishable empire Of happy homes
and vital civic institutions. In all the
state of oregon, there will be no bet
ter, no more splendid civilization, no
more inspiring incentives to good
citizenship than here in Umatilla
county.
The East Oregonian was founded by
pioneers, has recounted with pride all
their achievements and struggles in
the past, and will watch with intense
interest the achievements Of their
sons and daughters in the future.

OREGON PONIES ARE
WANTED IN INDIA

Consul General w. H. Michael,
writing from Calcutta says that il
Oregon and Texas can supply stout
limbed and well-ribbed ponies in ship
load lots, as those localities once
were able to do, they could dispose
of several shiploads at good prices
in Burma, where the native pony is
becoming scarce. He particularizes:
The ponies or small horses should
be sufficiently active and trained for
the polo field and suited to work in
single harness to a low-hung two
wheeled vehicle, In general use
throughout India. The small horses
or ponies are now principally sup
piled from Australia. They are
known by the name of "Waler," and
were produced by crossing English
thoroughhreds with the small, stout
legged breed of horses found in Aus
tralia
some of the "Waler ponies" are
very handsome, of good temper. and
possess splendid endurance. They
make good polo ponies and now and
then smart racers for short dis
tances Some of this class of ponies
are peing raised in India, the sup
ply in the market being II home bred
TO 20 imported from Australia. But
the supply from both sources is not
equal to the demand. The average
price of the imported ponies is 5000
gold and $135 for the Indian-bred
ones. Well-trained polo ponies, how
ever, sell for more-say from $500
to $500 each.
The best Burma bred ponies are
sold for polo purposes to officers of
the army in Burma and outside of
Rurma to young men in the civil
service and to business men for rid
ing and driving purposes to rich
Chinese. The second-grade pony is
sold for hack use, for thetrap. and
Tor mounted infantry. The govern
ment buys a great many of these no.
MES Tor the mounted infantry. They
are we'll adapted for climbing hills
and mountains.
There is also third grade ponv
which is used for baggage or hack
ney carriage purposes. Ponies used
TO be employed as transport animals
but the small mule brought from
China has taken their place. This
grade Of pony is a poor specimen, be-
ing i'll shaped and poorly kept.
The best pony bred in Burma is
known as "the Shan" which de-
rives its designation from the
shan Hills, where it is bred. 1t
Is strong, hardy beast. fairly
well shaped, good bone, and full
OF spirit, and makes a good hack
pony and a mount for the military
police and mounted infantry. Now
and then one may be found that DOS.
sesses the qualities required for a no.
10 pony, but the Shan never takes
high place in this class. For all mr.
poses. however, the Shan pony is the
best produced in Burma, but the
supply is not equal to the demand
even for these.
Ponies from China in considera BILE
numbers find their way overland in
to Burma, but the long and tedious
journey reduces them in flesh and Ill
fits them for market. They fetch low
prices and are bought up by dealers
who put them In better condition,
| break them to the saddle and harness
and then sell them at really good
prices.

Umatilla county people should pat
ronize their local summer resorts
more than they do. Going away to
some chilly sea coast resort because
it has become a popular fad is like
sending east to mail order house for
your goods which you can buy cheaper
and more satisfactorily at home. The
only way to build up good mountain
resorts near home is to patronize
them. The Blue mountains furnish
half a dozen good resorts tributary to
Pendleton and Umatilla county money
should be spent freely in these resorts,
which in turn help build up Umatilla
county and local towns.

Another wooden mill is to be started
in Willamette valley, the location to
be somewhere on the Clackamas river,
it is thought There is room for more
manufacturing plants in eastern Ore
gon. No wool should be sent out of
Umatilla county unsecured. No wheat
should be exported where 1t can be
exported at greater profit as flour.
The great need of Umatllla county Is
manufacturing, payrolls, workingmen
to buy and build homes and patronize
schools.

given the tables of stone. God COM
manded that no man should be seen
in tine vicinity of the holy mount and
Moses supplemented this command
by ordering the faithful, who were in
the valley, to turn their heads from
the mountain. They did but uncov-
cred the eye situated in the back of
the head. Moses noticing this, asked
God to close their third eye, so since
that day the Israelites have had to
depend upon two eyes.
