THE LODGE POLE PINE.

The lodgepole pine gained its name
from its wide use by the Indians as a
support for their tepees. Since the
Indians of the Rocky mountain re-
gion dragged their lodge poles to the
plains while hunting, timber of
requisite height but small diameter
was sought, and this the lodgepole
pine provided without trimming.
The names of white pine, black
pine. spruce and tamarack are also
applied locally. In Wyoming lodge
pole pine is more numerous than any
other tree. and it is largely represent
ed i'm the forests of Colorado, Utah,
Oregon and California. 1t grows from
sen level TO 1000 feet elevation, and
is noted for its variable form and
quality. In the Rocky mountains the
wood is lighter in weight and, color,
less resinous and straighter grained
than on the Pacific coas'
Lodgepole pine attains an age of
from 100 to 800 years. 1t quickly
succumbs to fire on account of its
thin bark, but to a certain extent
guards against extinction by this
cause by producing fertile cones at the
early age of from six to 10 years.
Reseeding after fire is favored al
so by the persistence of the cones,
some of which do not shed their
seeds for a number of years, and by
the readiness with which the seeds
germinate on mineral soil of burned
oyer land.

THE WAY OF THE WORLD.

4 man and a woman just happened
to meet
In the hurly-burly of lie.
Each quilted the throng the other to
greet,
Forgetful of trouble and strife
Clasped hands with a sigh, touched
lips with a smile.
Felt the thrill that comes of kiss;
Enthralled as they were naught else
was worth while;
They loved, and the world was all
bliss.
Vowed fealty and truth forever and
aye,
All but love to the four winds was
hurled;
Slaves of rapture were they, for a
year and a day
Till he heard the call of the world.
That call was command, he must fly
to obey.
'Mongst men he would play mans
part,
With never a thought as he hied him
away,
That he'd broken a womans heart.
Exchange.

DIsSENsION Is DYING.

An anonymous correspondent who
signs himself "Unbeliever," writes to
the East oregonian expressing the
thought and sentiment that If the diff
ferent church denominations were
more closely Joined together in fur
thering the true work of the church,
thai Christianity would appeal more
strongly to the unbeliever.
The East oregonlan wishes to say
to this correspondent, whoever he is.
that never before in the history of the
world have all the different denomi-
nations, oreods, beliefs and organiza-
tions for good been as harmonious.
progressive and active as now Only
a few years ago the churches were at
war just as states warred. Creeds
fought with bullets and bayonets just
as rival kings and emperors fought.
Now such suggestion is impossi-
Bile. The churches are working to-
gether in many lines and are becom-
ing more closely cemented and more
genuinely Christian, every year.
Only a few years ago scarcely any
two Of the different denominations
would join in any undertaking even
for the promotion of religious senti-
ment in general; now there are but
two or three of the leading denomina-
tions which refuse to join.
Half dozen of the great denomi-
nations are Joined together today in
Pendleton as in every other city in
the land for the promotion Of relig-
ious sentiment along broad and toler-
ant lines. This is triumph enough for
one generation. Perhaps the next
generation will see the surrender of
selfishness in the last lingering oppo-
nent Of church union today.
AS the churches are united more
closely together. the easier 1t is for
them to climb above the old preju-
dices and narrow denominational
bonds of yore and within a few years
there will be but one big church in all
the world, having as its foundation
stone the brotherhood of man, the
divinity of the human.

MARKET DAY SUCCESS.

Pendleton's first market day wa:
an unqualified success. The attend
ance and the amount of property Of
fered for sale were both beyond the
fondest dreams Of the promoters and
this first success is but an index fin
ger pointing to the greater triumphs
of the future.
Every market day can be made a
celebration in Pendleton. People can
be induced to come here not only
from all over Umatilla county. but
from all over adjoining counties.
Merchants can offer special sales. re-
duced rates can be secured on rail-
roads and hundreds Of people can be
brought together here in a highly
profitable meeting every month.
Over $4,000 worth of stock was sold
in the first sales on Saturday. The
bidding was vigorous, the sales satis-
factory and no complaints have been
heard except that the sales should
begin in the forenoon in order that
everything brought in can be offered
for sale OF course the sales will be
improved as we learn better how to
conduct them. 1t is new in Pendle-
ton and nobody knew until the hour
of the sale just how much stuff
would be offered. Next time we will
do better. Make this an event every
month

FIVE THINGS SHE NEEDS.

Here and there | find a perfect
woman" said the Critical man. but
she is very rare. There are five
things in which the average woman
is sadly lacking. II she would culti-
vate these she could step right along
with men.
"She should learn to control her
emotions better.
"She should think more generously
of other women.
"She should develop and exercise
her will power.
"She should teach herself to con-
centrate.
"She should cultivate judgment.
Bad Judgment is what makes women
buy cheap bargains, and make frights
of themselves, and marry the wrong
man. and get all balled up at a criti-
cal moment.
"If l were a woman I'd paste these
five things over my dressing table.
and practice them daily, till | could
beat my brother, or husband, or faith
er. at the game"

NOW FOR La TOILETTE.

As the chances for the denomination
of President Roosevelt become less
and less promising, owing to his de-
termination not to run for the presi-
dency again, the chances of Senator
La Toilette loom higher and clearer.
Everywhere in the western states
the La Toilette movement is gaining
ground. Nebraska. Wyoming, Colora-
do and Idaho have taken the initiative
in promoting La Toilette as a presi-
dental candidate and Oregon can do
nothing better than to join in this
movement and send a La Toilette
delegation to the national republican
convention, since Roosevelt is not a
candidate.
When Senator La Toilette was in
Pendleton last year on a lecturing
tour he assured the editor of the East
Oregonian that he was in favor Of
the reelection of Roosevelt to the
presidency. He said that he believed
that Roosevelts work is but half
done. He thought the president
should heed the demands Of the peo-
pie. He supported the president in
every reform movement. every effort
to improve conditions and that La
Toilette is earnest and sincere in his
reforms is shown by the triumph of
his reformation in the state Of Wis
consin.
Boise has just launched a genuine
La Toilette boom. A La Toilette or
ganization with a large membership
has been formed and the Wisconsin
reformer is going to make a fine
showing in the Gem state.
2 Let Pendleton start La Toilette
club and start the movement in Ore
gon. Walla Walla has such a club.
Spokane is in line. Butte is a liner"
and Pendleton will have excellent
company in the La Toilette cam

A. L. MOHLER'S BLUFF.

A. L. Mohler. vice president and
general manager of the Union Pacific
railroad. has just appeared in a new
role in an Associated Press interview.
He declares that the spread OF pro-
nibition is going to stop railroad
building. He says that taking away
liquor licenses will increase taxes to
such an extent that railroads will re-
fuse to improve or extend their lines.
Very well. Then we shall have
government ownership Of railroads
quicker than had been hoped. When
such men as Mohler make such nom
sensical and frivolous statements to
the intelligent and progressive read
ers Of newspapers, II is time that
the people were doing little thinking
for themselves. 1t is time to place
the railroads and railroad managers
in a position where they cannot CO.
cree the public into doing the bidding
Of the trusts.
Every few weeks some railroad
manager declares that railroad reg
ulation by states and national govern
ment is going to stop railroad build
ing. Another says that just taxes
and better assessment laws will drive

the railroad industry out of the coun-
try and now comes Mohler with the
threat that railroads will stop build
ing II the people adopt prohibition.
And all the time the railroad sur
plusses are accommodating and the
combinations for the monopoly of
traffic are growing stronger.
In face OF these threats will not
the people soon decide that the only
solution of the railroad question is i'm
government ownership?

AND ROOT
ON JUDGE whitley

WASHINGTON, March 2-Prcsid.
emit koosevolts defense of Lobous r..
Wiley based on an analytical review
by Secretary Root of the charges
against him was made public today.
The charges were preferred by Lorrin
Andrews and have been reported by
him before the house committee on
judiciary as the basis of impeachment
proceedings. They relate 20 Judge
WilAey's administration of the Unit
ed States court for China at Shan
ghai.
After disposing of each OF the sew
en- charges by showing that neither
OF them is the proper basis of criti-
cism against Judge Wiley, Secretary
Root reviews conditions in the for
eign quarters of Shanghai, showing
that because of the heretofore lax
American administration of justice
there, affairs had grown disgraceful.
Judge Wiley was sent there for
the express purpose of reversing
these conditions. Secretary Root con-
cludes
THE circumstances thus presented
exhibit a motive for the attempt to
drive Judge Wiley from his position.
They present a strong probability of
misjudgment, exaggeration and dis
tortiOn of facts on the part of the law
yers who have personally suffered
from the changed conditions. They
make it clear that upon no trifing
grounds should our government incur
the public misfortune which would be
involved in putting the stamp of dis
approval on the work for decency and
righteousness that the United States
court of China has done.
my opinion is that Judge Whitley is

effect that Judge Wiley is not only
innocent, but is attacked solely be-
cause Of the fearlessness and int
gritty with which he stamped out vice
and crime in Shanghai.
1T is clear that Judge Wiley has
been attacked, not because he has
done evil, but because he has done
good. The assault on him is simply
