Her Only interest.

The papers MI with lines that thrill.
Yes, headlines flaming hot,
That tell Of scraps and great mishaps,
But Betty reads them not,
For naught she cares for bulls and bears
And how the trusts may spat,
But ali the while she hunts the style
OF this years Easter hat.

A TALK TO BUSINESS MEN.

Pendleton business men who have
been literally patronizing the Echo
register with advertisements, will be
surprised to learn that in the recent
write-up of Echo and vicinity, the
Register did not mention the name of
Pendleton nor of a Pendleton institu-
ton. 1t "cut Pendleton out" entirely
when it came to advertising the coun-
ty, but
The Register comes to Pendleton for
business right along.
This is a lesson to Pendleton busi-
ness men, one which should remind
them of certain useless forms of ad-
vertising which they are called upon
to support.
Pendleton newspapers have more
subscribers in Echo than the Echo
Register has, and advertisements in
Pendleton papers which are, or should
be carried by every Pendleton busi-
ness firm, reach the people of Echo
more quickly and more thoroughly
than through the Register or any
other local paper in Echo.
The East Oregonian alone, has more
circulation in Echo and its tributary
country, than the Register can ever
hope to have, and advertisements of
Pendleton firms in the East oregon
ian are read in almost every home in
that rich country. If business men
would only realize this, and would
understand that the large daily papers
published in the county seat reach
every portion of the county, thorough
ly and quickly, they would concentrate
their advertising funds where they
would bring results.
Pendleton papers have helped make
Echo what she is. The East Oregon
ian has published perhaps so columns
of reading matter advertising Echo
and Echo business firms in the past
three years, and this rebuke which
Pendleton business men have receiv-
ed from the Register, which left out
all mention of the county seat, should
be a reminder hereafter.
When Pendleton Commercial asso-
citation appropriated 500 this spring
to advertise the various parts of Una
tilla county one the best pages in the
booklet issued was devoted to Echo
and vicinity.
1t is hoped that the Register does
not fully express the attitude of Echo
and her business interests toward
Pendleton. the county seat.

WHY NOT LA TOILETTE

If Roosevelt is so anxious to let his
mantle fall upon a candidate who is
in strict accord with his own vigor-
Gus policy, why does he not select
Senator Robert La Toilette, insted of
the plutocratic toady, Taft?
Before Roosevelt picked Taft up and
made him something, officially, he
was in disfavor throughout the coun-
try. He made himself obnoxious dur
ing the railroad strikes of 1888 and
1894, by his biased decisions in favor
Of corporation interests and If left to
his own resources today would per-
haps repeat his actions of that period.
If Roosevelt will not become presi-
dent again and really desires to see
his policies continued through an
other administration, why does he not
select such a man as Senator La Fol-
lette, who has had the manhood and
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-04-22

fearlessness to stand up for the Roose-
welt ideal through sharp fire from
the ultra conservatives in congress?
In what way do either Taft or Fair
banks represent the Roosevelt ideal?
In what way have they ever express
ed willingness to bring the govern
'ment back to the plain people, and
unhorse the corporations which are
now in the saddle in congress?
If Roosevelt does not name a man
who will really continue the Roose-
welt policies, 1t is certain that Bryan
will be the. next president. Bryan is
the father of the Roosevelt ideals, but
without strong following in con-
gress Bryan would have his hands
tied.
While 1t would be a heaven-sent
vindication and reward for William
Jennings Bryan to honor him with
the presidency, yet he is honest
enough. big enough, conscientious
enough to be satisfied with the tri-
umph of his principles through the
agency of a Roosevelt, a La Toilette
or any other candidate who might
be elected on the Bryan platform.

LIVESTOCK IN GERMANY.

On the high-priced land of Ger
many only limited number Of live
stock can be produced, and in that
country 1t is impossible to produce
anything like the number of cattle,
hogs and sheep required. and that, Of
course, Is the reason that meat val
ues are so high.
According to the consular report
as regards oxen and bulls, the prices
at the beginning of January on the
Berlin market ranged from s6.Cs to
s10.47 per 1902 pounds in 1908, and
from s6.43 to s12.61 in 1907. The
movements of heifers and cows
closely followed those of oxen and
bulls. In the case Of calves the price
experienced an unusually strong in
crease, rising from a range of $5.95
to $13,S2 in 1908, to 1913 to $16.1S
in 1907.
The price Of mutton rose from
S5.71 to S9.04 in 1908, to S5.95 to

LET PENDLEToN BEWARE.

Every citizen of Umatilla county
who is loyal to the county will agree
with the East Oregonian when it says
that Pendleton, and not Walla Walla
must be the center of any electric
railroad system which covers Una
tilla county.
But unless Pendleton capital is on
its guard. such will not be the case.
The invasion of Umatilla county
by an electric line from Walla walla
is even now taking business away
from Umatilla county. As this system
OF electric lines with its center in
Walla Walla, is extending over UNA
tilla county, it will strengthen the
position of Walla walla as the center
and objective point. 1t will be sever
al years, perhaps, if at all, and all
of these years the smaller towns in
the east end of Umatilla county will
be patronizing and supporting Walla
Walla.
This is not an alarmist editorial, but
1t is a plain talk to Pendleton capital
and a warning that is sounded in the
interest of Pendleton.
Pendleton capital or capital secur-
ed by Pendleton, should begin now to
counteract the influence of the Walla
Walla Freewater electric line, by the
construction of lines which will bind
every portion of Umatilla county to
this city. Soon the Hermiston and
Umatilla districts will be teeming
with settlers, and If the Walla Walla
line is not checkmated there is a pos
sibility of an extension to Helix and
thence to the west end of this county,
thus placing walla walla in direct
touch with every portion of Umatilla
county.
The city Of Pendleton should begin
now to join forces with the Open River
Transportation company and see that
the proposed line of railroad which is
now surveyed from Simmons Landing
on the Columbia river, to Holdman, be
extended to this city. This line will
be completed within a few years and
would counteract any Walla Walla in
vasion into the north part of Umatilla
county.
While the electric line movement is
young, yet it is imperceptibly making
Walla Walla the center, turning peo-
ple's eyes toward walla Walla, max
ing it easy for people to go to Walla
Walla and If allowed to develop along

What shall we do? Pour medicine

only weaken the nerves and make the
matter worse. Go to a nerve special
ist. One that works direct upon the
nervous system, strengthening and
building up the nerve forces. When
that has been done then your trouble

Prof. Wells had a call from Boise,
Idaho, yesterday to take charge of

ton with their medical treatment.
The doctors are getting wise to the
fact that there is a quicker way of
curing many ailments besides dopeing

be enrolled this week, as he will not
receive new patients after this week.

Sicily's Wheat Market.

Vice-Consul Jacob Ritter reports
that the Importation of American
wheat into Catania, Italy, is becom-
ing of considerable importance. He
says further: During the three
months ending February 2S, 1880
tons of American hard wheat, valued
at $450,000, were received at this
port. This wheat after being Mixed
with Sicilian and Russian wheat Is
ground into grits (semola) and then
used for manufacturing macaroni
and bread, the latter being prefer
red to that made Of flour. Formerly
all the grain imported into Catania,
came from south Russia, which gave
very good results, but the heavy Rus
sian demand and higher prices caus-
ed the millers here to turn to Am
erica.

these lines, will ultimately work
greatly to the disadvantage of Pendle-
ton.
There are just as competent and
wide awake business men in Pendletop
as in Walla Walla. There are just as
many inducements for people to come
to Pendleton as to go to Walla Walla,'
il the public conveniences are equal.
Pendleton must beware. If she
would bring the people of Umatilla
county to her, she must offer facilities
equal to those offered by Walla
Walla.
Pendleton, and not Walla Walla,
must always be the railroad and trad
ing center of Umatilla county.

A MOUNTAIN NOCTURNE.

Crimson, and Beaten gold, and gleam-
ing green,
Purple and steely gray, the Lord of
Light
Gathers his robes about him; spreads
their sheen
A monient from the Peak, and
then-the Night!
The west parts slowly with its rud-
ly glow:
The purple shadows darken. On
the hill
The silent spruce is sentry; and be-
The lazy gossip of the birds is still.
The startled aspens shiver in their
sleep;
The hungry coyote in the distance
whines;
Like guilty priests affrlght, the wood
folk creep
From out the dark cathedral OF
the pines.
Dark, deep, and strangely glowing,
broods the sky:
The stars, outstanding In their Or
bits, gleam;
And through the listening canyon
ceaselessly
Throbs the complaining cello OF
the stream.

There Is no good reason for locat-
ing the proposed city hall anywhere
else. than upon the tract of land now
owned by the city at the corner of
Alta and Cottonwood streets. This
was selected for the purpose because
it is in the heart of the city, conven-
lent to all parts. 1t is large enough
for a city hall to answer all needs of
Pendleton perhaps for all time to
come. The talk of locating the city
hall north of the river or on upper
Court street is all intended to direct
attention away from the real logical
location at the corner of Cottonwood
and Alta, where the city has purchas-
ed property. Let us stick to the
original intention of the city council
and build city hall in the heart Of
the city where it will be convenient
and accessible to all.

JOSEPH WOLF BROWNS.
Falls Into River Near East Water Street
Bridge-Body Is Recov-
cred

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. %
The body of Joseph Wolf, carpen-
ter, aged SO, boarding with a brother
in-law at 3S4 Seventh street, was re-
moved from the Milwaukee river near
the East Water street bridge by the life
saving crew this morning. Wolf acct
dentally fell into the river Monday night
while walking across the bridge, while
it was open to permit the passage of a
steamer.
Bridgetender Daniel Sullivan saw Wolf
stagger as he walked blindly toward the
north end of the bridge. He attempted
to reach him to prevent his falling, bat
was too late and Wolf lurched forward
into the water. He paid no heed to
life preservers thrown at him from the
steamer and soon sank from sight.
Wolf was unmarried He was last
seen in saloon on the south side at
1915 shortly before the accident. He
walked along with his foreman until just
before the bridge was reached where the
foreman boarded a car and Wolf con-
tinued on foot. An inquest will be held.

When Casting a Bronze Statue.

Immense pains and immense labor
attend the production of bronze statue
of any size, even after the artist has
done his work." remarks sculptor.
TO begin WITH. the plaster model has
to be completely covered with small
Jumps of a special kind of sand, some
times as many as 1900 or 1000 of these
pieces being required. After these blocks
of sand are dry they are taken off the
cast one at time and carefully put to-
gether to form the mold The latter
is then filled with clay, and the same
operation is again gone through, fac
smile OF the plaster cast being thus OBJ
tanned.
Then comes the most delicate part
OF the whole work. The clay model, or
core. as it is technically called, has
to have quarter of an inch taken off
its entire surface, which, as may readily
be imagined, is anything but easy, es-
peclally if the subject be at all ornate.
'"Ehe core is then again put into the
mold-which has, of course, to be recon.
structed once more-being kept exactly
IN the center by means Of iron rods.
The molten bronze is then poured in
from the top, completely filling the space
between the core and the mold. After
it has cooled the latter is again removed
and the clay interior extracted, when
the statue, somewhat rough and needing
a slight touching up, is revealed. Gas.
