Josephine's Failing.

When Matte and Bertha Britt reported
to the police yesterday that their clothes
line had been robbed by some unidentified
person, Policeman Williams of the third
precinct at once started out to find
Josephine Baker, colored. Josephine, the
police say. has a failing in connection
with the full clothes line. In short
time Policeman Williams had effected her
capture and later recovered the missing

they may have more room and have the
usual sort of clubhouse. A number of
plans are under consideration but the one
which seems TO meet with the greatest
favor, thus far, is to purchase some dwell
ing house and remodel it for club uses
treating the building in a way similar
to that in which the building which is
now the Alibi Club was transformed.

had disposed of them.
Josephine was called upon in the Police
Court today to answer two charges OF
larceny, and for the next two months iron
bars will be more conspicuous to Jose
phine than clothes lines.

OREGON FRUIT IN 100 WORDS.

At the request of the Oregon De-
velopment league, Hon. Wilbur X.
Newell, president of the state board
of horticulture, has condensed in the
following 100 words statement
about oregon fruit that should be
printed in every language known:
Oregon excels in fruit. Proof: Be-
cause her apples are the acknowledge
ed standard of the world, bringing
highest prices from the trade of New
York, London, Paris and Berlin.
Her pears, cherries, dried prunes
and strawberries have national rep
utation, unequalled by the fruit OF
any other section of the United
States.
Why? Because nature has giver
her a soil containing the necessary
plant food, a climate without ex'
tremes, and moisture and sunshine
just right to produce a fruit of beau
tiful color, firm texture, and unrival
ed flavor.
| And her people have the intelli
gence to take advantage Of thes'
conditions.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-09-16
IL to be well represented in the pa

full to be well represented in the pa
pers.
1t is true that all classes of people
now read advertisements. 1t may
seem that there are no immediate re-
suits from certain classes of advertis-
ing. But If you listen to the house,
wives talk, You will soon realize that
nothing in the home papers escape
their attention.
Especially do strangers scan the
papers. The papers are looked upon
as guides If the stranger wants
hotel, a restaurant a clothing store,
a grocery store, music store dry
goods store, a butcher shop, he in
variably looks for an advertisement.
1t is easier to go to the newspaper Of
flee and learn the location of what
he wants than to run over strange
town in search of it.
Especially do home people and old
settlers read the advertisements in
newspapers. Let a special offer in
some certain line be made and see
how many take advantage of it. Pub
lish an advertisement that overalls
will be sold for 25 cents per pair on
a certain date. and note how many
people come to take advantage of the
offer.
Offer 25 pounds of sugar for dol
lar and within an incredibly short
time after your ad is published, your
place will be overrun with purchasers
and orders. People read the ads every
evening, and they are surprised when
they do not find something new and
inviting in the ads.
Aside from the strictly business
benefits from advertising, there is an
other side to it. Take away the news
papers from Pendleton, Baker City,
La Grande or Walla Walla, and what
would those towns be? What would
social life be here without the pa
pers? How many people would be
attracted here? How would business
thrive? People would stay away from
the towns and send to mail order
houses for their supplies.
The towns would die if the news
papers should die from lack of sup
port.

WAVED AT "ANYTHING."

Editor f. A. Eaton, of the Idaho
Springs Sifting-News, is responsible
for this story. He says that there is
a popular conductor on the Colorado
& Southern whose run takes him
through Idaho Springs every day and
who always waves at the townspeo-
pie. In order that no-one will know
who the conductor is, Editor Eaton
gives the initials only. They are P.
A. T. In the office of The Siftings-
News is young woman who used to
go to the window each day and re-
ceive wave from the conductor. One
day she said to the editor:
"That conductor is a mighty pleas
the man. He waves to me when the
train passes"
"Poo," replied Eaton. He'd wave
/ at anything"
"He would not" replied the girl
hotly.
"Ill show you," said Eaton. There
upon he got the office broom ant
| dressed 1t up to look like a woman
He stood 1t up in the window and
then they waited for the train. 1t FL
nally came along with the conductor
on the platform. AS it passed the
Siftings-News office the conductor
smiled and waved at the broom with
both hands.
| The girl hasn't spoken to the editor
since, except when absolutely neces
| sary.

READY FOR SETTLEMENT.

The announcement that 1000 acres
of the Umatilla government irrigation
project will be opened for settlement
soon, will be greeted with delight
by Umatilla county.
The government is spending over
S1,OOO,OO in that project and the
people have unbounded faith in its
outcome. The climate of that section
ia not to be surpassed on the Pacific
coast, not even at Los Angeles, the
boasted sunshine center of the coast.
The records show that Umatilla has
more days of sunshine every year
than Los Angeles.
The settlement of the Umatilla pro-
ject means much to Pendleton and to
Umatilla county. 1t will add several
millions dollars to the taxable wealth
of the county, which will reduce taxes
and distribute the burden of the
county government among more peo-
pie. And it will add immeasurably
to the business volume of Pendleton
and the surrounding towns.
Pendleton should be connected with
that tract of land by an electric line,
running north through Fulton and
Holdman to Hermiston.

DERELICT.

Alone on a sea of contending emo
tions,
Drawn hither drawn yon by my
thoughts and fears,
The victim of earnestness deep as
the ocean
The victim of duty that's brought
naught but tears.
Adrift without help of purpose tc
guide me,
Knowing well I've fought bravely
and fighting have failed;
Yet firm to fight on, whatever be-
tide me,
Knowing no man can say ever
have quailed.
Quiet l carry myself, and serenely,
A smile on my lips for those who
are gay,
Yet feeling the pain, my God knows
how keenly,
OF wounds that We're made with
the purpose to slay.

cross said,
They know not the work their crue
hands do.

were never molested l believe they
would never die. If they had suffi-
cient food, which would be impossible
if they no longer preyed on one an
other, there would be no reason for
their dying. 1t was to prevent such
uninterrupted tenure of life that all
fish were made fiercely predatory,
If not remotely cannibalistic, as many
kinds are.
"a fishs life is a constantly stren-
uous one and one entirely selfish.
A fish lives only to eat and to avoid
being eaten."-Los Angeles Times.

THE STRANGERS GUIDE.

There is not a day passes that does
not bring some stranger to the office
of the East Oregonian, where the pa
per is scanned for some advertise
ment of the many business interests
in the city. In place Of going out to
walk and inquire and search for the
line of business wanted, the intelli-
gent stranger and homeseeker, in
variably goes to the columns of the
newspaper where he expects to find
the leading lines fully advertised.
If he does not find them advertised
he takes it for granted that they are
not to be found in the city.
Saturday three homeseekers from
Iowa who waited here between trains,
came to this office to look over the
advertisements for a certain line OF
business which is ordinarily the most
progressive to be found and upon not
finding this line represented in either
Pendleton paper, they expressed sur
prise and declared that this industry
is surely not run on a very high STAN
dard here. In eastern states 1t Is
among the most active.
The newspapers are taken as
business guides. This is an age Of
publicity, advertising, progress, and
people expect to find every Legitimate
BUSINESS represented in some way ir
the columns of the papers. The pa
pers bring the new settlers to the
country to make business for the
business men, and in order to gel
properly before the new and the ole
settler the progressive man is car

THE FARMER VOTE"

The agility with which Editor T. T.
Geer of the Pendleton Tribune gets
on all sides of a question in a short
space of time, entities him to the title
of the Political Acrobat. His double
jointed, back-action somersaults,
performed for the purpose of pre-
venting the people from knowing ex-
actly where he stands on any issue,
are truly wonderful in their class.
Saturday morning in opposing the
direct primary law, under cover, he
said:
"In the last state primaries THE
FARMER VOTE was divided and
scattered among the different aspi-
rants fer the many positions at stake.
THE too common declaration that
THE FARMER VOTE is for this or
that is not only not true, but uncom-
plimentary."
Three or four times in the same edi-
torial he alluded to and named "the
farmer vote" as though it were a
common commodity in the political
market.
On Sunday morning, "a hours after
when the error of his expression
about the farmer vote" had beer
made plain by the East Oregonian
he said:
There is no such thing as the
farmer vote-never was.
"Whoever heard of a farmer vote
as such? The farmer vote is alway
divided, etc"
This sudden change of front thi
reversal of a seemingly decisive opin
ion in "a hours. is the result of tn
enlightenment received from a brie
editorial in the East Oregonian, ar
parently. The truth acts quickly
you take it in sufficient doses. Br
ordinarily it requires more than
hours to get action in a stubborn cas-
of political error which has been net
lected for a quarter of century.

TRAGEDY OF FISH LIFE.

"Fish never die natural DEATH"
said an old fisherman who has OBJ
served as he fished. "If they did
bodies of dead fish would be float
ing on the surface of the water all
the while, because, such bodies, If
unmolested, would have to float.
81 mean, of course, fish in nature
never die a natural death, not fish
in captivity. And perhaps it should
not be called natural death that fish
in captivity die. Their environment
induces mortality that fish in their
native habitat would escape and these
causes might be properly classed as
among the accidents that carry the
captive fish off.
"If fish in their native elements

LAST BOOK BURNED.

In 1S49 Froude's Nemesis of
Faith was consigned to the flames
by the Bishop of oxford. To think
that the bishop expected to abolish
an idea by burning a book, struck
literary London as funny, this for the
first time. London laughed, and this
laugh forever put stop to public
burnings of books in civilized coun-
tries.
We can Withstand opposition; but
the merry ha, ha! and the subtle te,
he! unhorses us.
Argument could not make ortho-
doxy relnquish its devil, nor loosen
its hold on hell; but Ingersoll caused
peal of laughter to roll through the
land, and the preachers cut for cover.
Immediately they began to emphasize
the Fatherhood of God, and the
the Brotherhood of Man. The devil,
they declared, was only poetic fig
ure: and hell condition Of mind.
The laugh made them free-or par
