HOW MAHOGANY is FOUND.

Mahogany trees do not grow in clus-
ters, but are scattered throughout the
forest and hidden in dense growth
of underbrush, vines and creepers,
an3 require skilful and experienced
woodsman to find them. He seeks
the highest ground in forest, climbs
to the top of the tallest tree, and sur
veys the surrounding country. The
mahogany has a peculiar foliage, and
his practiced eye soon detects the
trees within sight.
Nhe aXmen follow the hunter, and
then come the sawyers and hewers,
large mahogany taking two men a
full day to fell 1t. The tree has large
spurs which project from the trunk
at its base, and scaffolds must be
erected 50 that the tree can be cut
off above the spurs. This leaves a
stump ten to fifteen feet high, which
Is sheer waste, as the stump really
contains the best lumber.
The hunter has nothing to do with
the work of cutting or removing the
tree, his duty being simply to locate
it. If he Is clever and energetic, his
remuneration may amount to $500
or $1,000 a month; but he may travel
weeks at time without detecting a

The reelection of City Superintend-

iPendleton public schools will be
heartily commended by the patrons OF
the schools who have recognized his
ability and fitness for that important
position. A new era is just opening
before Pendleton schools. Next year
will be better and more important
than ever, since large number of
farmers are looking toward Pendle-
dren.

Pendleton people who were delight
ed with the able and brilliant lecture
by Senator La Toilette last Monday
night will not agree with the following
wall of the Yakima Republic which is
evidently on the wrong side of Senator
La Follette's roll call of the senate.
The Republic says in advance of the
La Toilette lecture in that city:
Senator La Toilette, who speaks
here Thursday night, has no regard for
the feelings of anybody when he talks.
They say his lectures are roast Of
public men from beginning to end. He
generally talks about the things he

has done to the trusts. railroads and
other great evils of the day. He is
probably the most unpopular man
among his colleagues who can be
found in the country. Very few people
doubt, however. that he has Il cer-
tain usefulness. He is drawing big
crowds on his lecture tour. There
seems to be the same fascination for
people about him that there is about
q buz saw.

BROTHER HINES NOT THERE.

After the presiding officer of a mis-
sionary conference of the Methodist
denomination at Des Moines, Iowa,
last week, had called loudly several
times for DR.. Hines of Portland, Ore,
to come forward and take his assign
ment on the program, some one
whispered in the presidential ear.
Ladies and gentlemen" said that Of
ficial, lowing to the fact that DR..
Hines has been dead for several years,
he will not appear on our program
today" The audience, deeming the
excuse given reasonable one, was
quite willing to pass on to the next
number on the program.-Denver

BEAUTIFY OLNEY CEMETERY.

People expect to see beautiful and
attractive surroundings for ceme-
teries, and the barrenness of Olney
cemetery in this city is especially no.
tceable. Not a flower, not a tree,
not a pleasant walk, no shade, no
pleasant suggestions - nothing but
barrenness, loneliness and forbidding
monotony.
Pendleton can afford a more beau
tiful cemetery. Her citizens will pro-
vide one when they are able to do
without unnecessary or unreasonable
expense and it seems that the oppor-
tunity is at hand.
The city council has looked IA
vorably upon the proposition of the
electric company to pump water. The
people will agree with the council
and before another spring comes, Oh
ney cemetery should present vastly
different appearance.
The sum of $4,000 was bequeathed
by Mrs. Sarah Figg- Thompson fol
the improvement of the cemetery, but
for some reason the fund is not
available. Pendleton Masonic lodge
which was directed to carry out tho
intended Improvements should Sc
cure this fund and cooperate with
the city council in cemetery improve

NEW DEPOT NEEDED.

Right now, while the site is cleared
by the removal of the coal bunkers,
is the time for the o. R. G. N. to give
Pendleton a new passenger depot.
The removal of the old building
will not add to the conveniences,
comforts nor appearance of the pres
ent depot building. 1t is entirely in
adequate to the needs of the o. r. &
N. in Pendleton. Outside Of Portland
this is the most important point on
the o. r. G. N. system, not excepting
Spokane.
A large, beautiful, we'll lighted,
well heated, airy depot building
should be provided for Pendleton and
on all the vacant space about the
grounds a park should be maintained
and trees should be planted.
Alang the Oregon Short Line are
being built some excellent depots. At
Weiser, Nampa and Caldwell, elegant
buildings are being erected and the
Hartman system should be the same
in Oregon as in Idaho.
It is hoped that the officials of the
o. r. & N. consider the importance Of
Pendleton and bring their depot up to
the standard Of the city.
Thousands Of passengers transfer
here from the main line of the o. R.
& N. to the Washington division and
the business transacted by the o. R..
& n. at this place is not exceeded at
any other point on the system outside
of Portland and Spokane.
Now is the time to give Pendleton
a new depot building.

GOV. BRowARD so YEARS OLD.

Napoleon Boraparte Broward, the
present governor of Florida, was
born IN that state, April 10. 1852.
The phrase a "self-made man" may
be truthfully applied to Governor
Rroward. He lest both parents when
- years old and was left to make his
own way ir the world. After receiv-
ing such education as the country
schools at that time afforded he
struck out for himself. From the
time he was IA until nc became of
age he worked in the log camps, as
a farm hand, as a steamboat rousta-
bout, as cod fisherman on the
Grand Banks and as n sailor before
the mast. He saved some money and
invested in a river steamboat. This
marked the beginning of most sue
cessful business career. lie became
interested iE politics late In the 'SOs
and his first office was that Of sher-
if of his native country. In 1900
he was elected to the legislature and
four years later was chosen governor

tories, theater programs. society or
amusement programs, hotel registers
and special contract advertising will
be ignored by the progressive business
men of these little New England viii
lagos, and that their entire advertis-
ing fund will be applied to newspaper
advertising, where it will count for
something.
The East Oregonian heartily en-
dorses the plan of the Rhode Island
business men. 1t is scheme worthy
of the west.
Instead of making agreements to
patronize newspapers exclusively, a
number of industries in western cities
have organized to abolish newspaper
and instead squander
their advertising funds in theater
programs, telephone directories and
other absolutely ineffective forms of
In Pendleton, a city of 1000 people
having 10 excellent grocery stores,
there is but one grocery advertisement
carried in the newspapers, that of the
Peoples Warehouse. Strangers do
not know that there are any other
grocery stores in the city. The peo-
pie in the country districts look in
vain for grocery advertisements and
thus one of the foremost lines in PEN
dleton is not adequately represented
in the papers.
OF half a dozen first-class barber
shops none of them are represented
in Pendleton papers. OF two excel
lent laundries, neither are represented
in Pendleton papers ana strangers
often fail to have work done here, as
they think it useless to look for laun-
dries where they are not advertised.
Pendleton can boast OF better news
papers than any other city of the
same size in the northwest. This is
everywhere. 1t is stand
ing advertisement for the city that
such is the case. The papers support
20 families and circulate an enormous
sum of money in the city in the course
a year.
Every day the newspapers boost for
the interests of Pendleton. The pro-
gress of the city is heralded to the
world, new settlers are brought here
by the constant advertising of the city
and country through the newspapers,
every line of business in the city is
directly benefited by the public serv-
ice of the newspapers, and yet lead
ing business lines refuse to patronize
the papers, but instead spend large
sums in absolutely useless advertising
in antiquated directories, theater pro-
grams and other discarded forms of
publicity which no live business rec
ognizes any more.
The newspaper reaches the home, Is
read by the wife and mother who is
interested in household affairs and
who does the shopping and buying for
the family. Tt is inexplicable why im-
portant lines of business should decide
t. cease newspaper advertising in the
face of all these self-evident and rec
ognized facts.
Let Pendleton business men follow
the excellent example set by the New
Englanders and devote all their adver-
| tising appropriations to newspaper ad-
vertising, for it is the only kind that
