tivans hand sought the automatic sig.
nal from the bridge forward to the
engine room aft, He heaved sigh of
relief when the answering bell came
from the engine room indicating that
the signal had been understood.
In establishment he discovered that
the way of the Mansfield was not
checked. She was going faster than
ever! In furious haste he gave the
engineer the full speed astern signal
on the whistle. but it was too late.
Just as the engine started to drive
ahead, the sharp PROV of the Noting
ham smashed into the stern of the
Mansfield and crumpled it up like
pasteboard The Mansfield was at last
brought up against the dock and
dashed there till the damage could be
ascertained.
Sullivan, wild with wrath, ran down
the gangway toward the engine room.
At the entrance he was met by the
first engineer-the chief also being
ashore.
"Why didn't you go ahead?" roared
the deck officer.
1T is my fault" admitted the en-.
gineer. when you rang misread
your order, crossed 1t. in fact, and
gave her full speed astern."
You'll lose your license for 1t, too
Sullivan" exclaimed the engineer

I've got wife and children. I've had
awful bad luck during the year with
sickness. and I'm heavily in debt
Won't you help me?"
| do you mean that should take the
blame?"
The engineer hesitated.
"The captain is fond of you" he NUT
tered. "You are engaged to his daugh
ter. 1t won't mean much to you, but
1t would mean death to me and mine

Sullivan turned on his heel and left
him.

ject of aerial locomotion, as well. Mr..
Manley was present at the meeting.
and In the discussion that followed
DR.. Bells paper he said it was the
general belief that the aerial expert
ments Of the Smithsonian Institution
had been dropped. This. he said. was
not correct; that they had been mere
ly suspended; and he hoped In the
not very distant future to take out
the big airship and give 1t anothe,
trial.
The situation with the big airship IL
the Smithsonian is rather complicated
The war department has some rights
in 1t, having furnished the officers and
had the supervision of some of the
expenditures connected with 1t. The
machine is the property of the Smith
sonian Institution in point of posses
sion, and from the fact that it was
made by Prof. Langley, the forme,
secretary. The government, not be-
ing much in touch with the subject OF
aerial navigation, has little faith in the
machine, it is stated, and it is regard
ed as certainty that there will not
be another dollar appropriated for ex.
periments. The scientific world, on
the other hand, is almost wholly con
WINGED that the machine is all right
and If 1t were sporting proposition
the scientists probably would be will
ing to make a wager of five to three
that the ship would fly the next trial
Mr.. Manley, as stated, is the en-
gineer who built the airship. When

builders in this country and in Europe
and tried to get an engine built on the
general lines he had laid down. None
of them would undertake the contract
and the result was that Mr.. Manley,
then a young man in Prof. Langley's
employ, did the work himself, and pro-
duced a 52-horsepower engine at con-
siderably less than five pounds weight
per horsepower. Manley stipulated but
one thing, and that he should have the
honor of navigating the machine on
her first trial. This was granted him.
but the attempt was failure, and
now he wants to take another try at
1t.
How long it will be before the trial
is actually made is a question. How
ever the machine is still there, and
the principal thing lacking is some one
with the nerve and money to risk the
initial trip.

BETTER QUARTERS NEEDED.

Pendleton Commercial association
can afford more convenient and access
sible quarters than it now occupies
and one of the achievements of the
present administration of the associ-
alton should be to remodel the stair
way leading to the rooms.
To those who are familiar with the
location and surroundings of the pres
ent quarters, the narrow and dark
stairway does not seem forbidding, but
to the stranger who is seeking out the
location of the association, the out
look must be discouraging from the
entrance to the stair.
The stairway should be widened
painted and remodeled so 1t would be
inviting. The association is an inn
portant factor in the life of the city
and it should breath something of the
progress and buoyant spirit which il
has infused into the city.

GREATER PENDLETON.

Pendleton will be able to rise up,
like freed bird, and spread her wings
in new era of development and mu-
nicipal life, under the provisions CT
the new charter which has been draft
ed by the city attorney and city
council.
At present expansion is almost i'm
possible because of the restrictions
placed upon the city by the old char
ter. OF course it has served a good
purpose while the city was in the
growing and formative period. But
Pendleton is now at a period in her
growth where she must do a number
of big things which will cost money.
In order to do these things, she must
have increased financial resources, the
limit of Indebtedness must be raised,
as the city is growing and increasing
in wealth.
A city hall is absolutely necessary.
Levee Improvements are imperative
Enlarged sewer facilities must come
within a short time as the settlements
reach out from hill to hill. A gravity
system of water is the only solution of
the city water problem and all these
increased and enlarged utilities cost
money.
The property owners of Pendleton
are outstripping the. municipality in
the way of progress The excellent
business blocks, the paved streets, the
extensive business institutions which
are maintained in Pendleton deserve
better municipal facilities to be in
keeping with private enterprise.
The property owners and citizens
of PendIeton are entitled to beauti-
full, comfortable city hall in which the
people may take personal pride.
Health and comfort and public safety
demand better sewers, better levee
and better water supply.
The public utilities are not in keep
ing with the splendid commercial life
of Pendleton.
The new charter wisely provides a
safe limit for a tax levy in making
the maximum 9 mills, with ad-
ditional for streets. This will safe
guard property interests against ex-
cessive taxation. Now let the charter
provide for every possible cent of rev.
enue from licenses, and by taxes on
franchises. and the question of taxa
ton will never stand in the way OF
improvements.
When the charter convention is call
ed by the city council, every property
owner and every citizen in Pendleton
should attend and take part in the dis
cusslons. Self-government is the sweet
est morsel which free government
gives to the citizen and the best part
Of self-government is that every hum
BILE citizen has an equal share in the
responsibility and labor of making a
charter which will be best for the
homes, best for the business institu-
tions, best for the city Of Pendleton.

expected to simply crush Roosevelt
out of existence by this startling ex-
posure, which many people believe is
a premeditated and concocted false
hood, as Roosevelt says it is.
Hartman was forced to do some
thing desperate to save himself from
utter ruin and so this was the trump
card which he and his gambling crowd
had up their sleeve t. use in an emer-
genry.
Hartman being a lawbreaker and
on trial for repeated violation of the
law, will not be credited with much
sincerity in his furious attack upon the
president under the circumstances.
The people will prefer to believe
Roosevelt on general principles, al
though the president may have been
over-zealous in the campaign of 1904.
Harriman's attack is so plainly one
of revenge that it will create wide
spread sympathy for the president,
and will only redouble the public senti-
ment which demands that Hartman
and his type of financial anarchists be
checked in their careers of law viola
ton.
The people are with the president
in his Jealous crusade against the Wall
street manipulators who are attempt
ing to bring a panic in order to dis
credit the Roosevelt administration.
Harriman's sensational and furious
coup will only make his crimes all
the more prominent and will magnify
the necessity for government owner
ship of railroads in order to eradicate
such dangerous and violent influences
in government as Hartman and his
ilk have proved to be.
There is absolutely no other salts
factory way in which to make the
country free from the dangerous in
fluences of spectators than by max
ing the big utilities, in which the ruin.
Gus speculation is carried on, the prop.
erty of the people.

HOW ANIMALS BLUSH.

Animals blush as girls do, but II
is fear and not modesty that in thei,
case causes the thrush of blood.
Horses blush in their ears, especial
ly in the left ear. When a horse is
frightened its left ear will be found
very hot and swollen. This is also
true of rabbits.
Cows and all other cloven-footed
animals blush just above the fetlock
Dogs blush in their tails. When a
dog is frightened its tail bushes SO
that it hangs limp, the dog having
absolutely no control over it.
Insects blush in their antennae.
