RESULTS FROM ADVERTISING.

Several tracts of Hermiston land
have recently been sold to people who
read of Hermiston in the East oregon
ian, and who brought copies Of the
East oregonian with them to show
the source of their information.
This is direct result of free adver-
Using and shows the benefits of a
widely circulated newspaper to
county or community. There is not a
point in Umatilla county which has
not had the same experience. There
is scarcely a business man in the
county who has not also enjoyed the
same results from notices of his busi-
ness in the East Oregonian at differ
ent times.
It is simply impossible to estimate
the value of advertising to commu-
nifty. No other agency IN the world
brings such results to communities as
clean, live, wholesome newspapers
which the people read and keep for
reference.

wealth, social prestige, political or fl
nancial influence, simply climb into
prominence and success, the future
must depend. Few pampered sons Of
wealth ever achieve anything really
great. They live easily in youth. do
not learn self dependence, they do not
learn to stand upon their own feet,
they do not get the trying experiences
which bring out the genuine merit in
men.
1t is the boy without means who
learns early to rely upon himself. He
must work for everything he receives.
He must earn his way, he must fight
for every foot of ground he gains.
This boy will win in the end. 1t
may be unpleasant at first to be de-
prived of many of the comforts which
others prize lightly, but at the end Of
the road, the brightest triumphs, the
most satisfying results are awaiting
this self-made boy who made good,
alone.
So here is the hearty hand clasp for
the poor boy who is struggling upward
alone. Here is the cheering word of
encouragement. Here is the boost
along the way.

SKETCH OF HENRY NJ. TELLER

Henry NJ. Teller, who represented
the state of Colorado in the United
states senate for many years, was
born in New York, May 23, 1890.
After graduating from Alfred uni
versity he taught school for several
years and at the same time studied
law. He was admitted to the bar at
Binghampton in 1856 and during the
next few years practiced in Illinois.
In 1861 he removed TO Colorado and
settled in Central City. His ability
os lawyer soon gained him promi-
nence. In politics he affiliated with
the republicans, but declined to be-
come candidate for office until the
admission of Colorado to the nation
In 1877 he was elected to the United
States senate and served until 1889
when he was appointed secretary OF
the interior in the cabinet of Pres
ident Arthur. In 1891 he was re-

ADVERTISING PENDLETON.

The first wool sales held in the
west, each year, are held in Pendleton.
These sales bring wool buyers, manu-
facturers, railroad agents and sheep
men from all over the United States
to this city.
Boston, New Bedford, London, Chi
cago, Cincinnati, st. Louis and other
large railroad and manufacturing GEN.
ters were represented in the wool
sales here yesterday and today.
These men never forget the things
they see and learn in Pendleton. 1t
Is a typical, progressive, busy western
city and the memories they carry
away keep Pendleton constantly be-
fore them. They tell others about the
city, talk and write about It and in a
thousand ways advertise us.
II is a compliment to Pendleton
climate to say that the first spring
sales are held here. Shearing begins
early on account of the warm weather.
This fact alone, II known to eastern
ers, would bring many homeseekers
here. 1t would be needless to say
anything more to many intending
homeseekers, than that the first
spring sales" are here.

A DOLLAR WORTH $4,000.

The dollar of 1904, silver, is worth
$25e to $4,000. according to condi-
ton. One of the latest sales record
ed was made in 1902 by R. G. Par
vim of Denver, from the Dexter col
lection of rare coins. The purchaser
was H. G. Brown of Portland, Ore..,
and the price $4,000. The dollar /.

one side of the dollar is the American
eagle, holding in one claw a sheaf OF
arrows and In the other an olive

stretched wings of the bird is The
motto, "E Pluribus Unum." On one
side of the eagle there are seven
stars, and on the other side six stars

JACK LONDON "RUNs DRY"

The Portland Oregonian made a sig
nifieant remark about Jack London
In a recent issue, when It said the
public should know what book he Is
going to take his next novel from.
The first few things which London
wrote were excellent, radiating, illum-
mating flashes of literature. He
touched a new and extremely popular
fancy. He wrote with wh'rl and a
rush seldom, If ever, equaled In lit
erary history.
But soon he "ran dry" as they say
OF false oil well. He was soon pump
ed out. Instead of spouting high up
above the surface he failed. His stuff
became stale. He was evidently writ
ing for money, on the reputation he
first made.
His last few stories are absolutely
silly. He copied his Before Adam"
from a book and plot long extant
and otherwise "flunked," as they say
when a man does not make good.
London is now trying to make
money on his reputation. The maga-
zines encourage him by buying his silly
stuff and the people are wondering II
he is ever going to spout up" again,
as he did when he first broke into
fame, or If he is permanently dry"
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-05-23
PENDLEToN SHOULD KNOW.

The supreme court of Oregon yes
terday decided that the law giving
cities power to change their charters
without special act of the legislature,
is valid, and all charter changes made
under it are legal and binding.
The decision was rendered in the
case from Astoria in which a num-
ber of mossback property holders en-
deavored to have a charter change
authorizing street improvements, set
aside.
The lower court upheld the charter
made by the people and the supreme
court sustained the lower court, so all
there is for the mossback to do is to
make his street improvement and look
pleasant.
This is the beginning of the best
period for Oregon cities and is one of
the most practical laws in the statutes
of oregon. The progressive people
are in the majority in every Oregon
city and by this law they will now
| be enabled to make charter changes
which will stand for progress and de-
cency.
The same mossbacks in Astoria who
were opposed to street improvements,
were willing to collect high rent from
saloons and dance halls, willing to run
| everything wide open, make money
from other peoples industry-but i'm
provements, oh no, that is out of their
| line.
Pendleton hears of this decision with
genuine satisfaction. 1t places her
charter changes beyond the reach Of
litigation, and insures the needed i'm
provements which have been author
lied by the proposed changes in her
charter.
There need be no fear of the people
of any city going to extremes in MAX
ing charter changes. The same staid,
substantial citizenship which Is found
In the legislature and which formerly
made charter changes, is found in the
cities of oregon.
The East Oregonian believes in the
people. 1t is always safe to trust
them. You always know where to
find them. If all the lawmaking pow
er were directly in their hands the
country would be better off.

A PLEA FOR THE POOR BOY.

All Of the graduating orations de-
livered by the high school class last
night were good. They were we'll
chosen, well thought out, well deliver
ed and exhibited the disciplined think
ing and systematic undertaking
which the class has received in the
school.
One of the orations, however, es-
pecially appealed to the East Oregon
ian. 1t was the plea for the poor boy,
that brief but telling essay on the
virtue and strength of the self-made
man.
All about us are the poor boys Of
the country and city, manfully striv-
ing to get an education and fit them
selves for life. Nobody knows the
secrets of those struggles; nobody
knows the privations which many of
them suffer, but they bear it manful-
ly and will succeed.
The East Oregonian loves the poor
boy who is making a fight, alone, for
an education. It has faith In this
boy It sees the promise of a man In
him and whenever or wherever 1t car
help such boy, It will gladly do so
Upon such boys, who without

THEIR INTRODUCTION.

A Colorado man who is visiting in
Wellington, told Fl. L. Woods this
story, says the Kansas City Star: The
game warden of Colorado was walk
ing out in the mountains the other
day when he met a hunter with his
gun. The official suggested that that
ought to be good country for hunt
ing.
at certainly is," said the hunter,
proudly. 81 killed one of the finest
bucks yesterday I ever saw. and he
weighed over 200 pounds. 1t was the
season when deer may not be shot
without subjecting the hunter to a
heavy fine. "Well that is fine one,"
said the warden, "and do you know
who you are talking tor" Being as
sured that he did not, the official
said "Why, I am the chief game
warden of Colorado" The hunter
was only taken aback for moment,
when he asked, "And do you know
who you are talking tor" The warden
didn't know.
"Well, sir" said the hunter, appar-
emily much relieved, you are talking
to the biggest liar in the whole state
of Colorado"
