CARELESS USE OF FIREARMS.

Complaints have been made OF pro pro
miseunus shooting on the part of chi
nese in the rice patches and elsewhere
in the neighborhood of Sheridan street:
The Chinese bird hunters use a full load
of shot for their cartridges and the
houses in the vicinity of their shootihg
are frequently peppered with the ieao-
en- pellets. More shooting Is done on
Sunday than at other times and a ponce
officer in that neighborhood today might
be able to gather one or two in for an
example.

LIQUOR SALES IN oLuRs.

1t is desirable that the status OF
clubs In relation to the sale of liquor
should be definitely established by de-
cision of the courts, and the prosecu-
tions about to be begun in Tacoma
against the Union, Elks' Commercial
and other clubs, charged with selling
liquor to members and visitors on
Sunday. as well as the action to take
out license, are steps in the right d.
rection.
The contention that the liquor kept
on hand In these clubs Is community
property, to which each member con-
tributes his share when 1t is purchas-
ed, and that the dlsposing Of the liquor
20 members is not sale, is challeng-
ed by these prosecutions.
1t is contended that 1t is not the
custom in clubs for members to help
themselves or order what they want
without individual charge.
They pay either in cash at the time
or by a system of club checks which
are taken up from time to time, the
transactions constituting a sale to all
intents and purposes. For these rea-
sons, it is urged, there is no good rea-
son why clubs should not be under the
same restrictions and governed by
the same laws as other places where
liquor is -Spokesman-Re

A SCIENTIFIC VACATION.

While the majority of Americans
are taking vacations at seashore or
mountain, or pretending that they are
cool and comfortable in their own
darkened homes, several sturdy wise
men are going carefully over the hills
and valleys of Wyoming in quest of q
fcur-toed horse.
They do not travel with lasso and
running moose expecting to bring him
in as does the Texas cowboy who
ropes a wild mustang, neither will
they crate him or send him home in
a jolting cattle or horse car. Nor will
they put him in Zoo-if he is found.
They hunt for him with pick and
shovel in the edges of overhanging
cliffs or far below the surface of the
earth. They will bring him back in a
box that would be much too small for
4 Merry Widow hat, every part Of him
carefully fixed in a matrix. He will
be put in a museum in glass case
and he who runs may read that this Is
rare and wonderful thing whose
price is above rubies.
For you see he died something over
100000 years ago, before the dawn
of the history Of mankind in the
world, when this continent was still
in the making

LESSON OF THE ALFALFA.

People often "kick" about their
unhappy lots and imagine that they
are much abused and much burdened.
They wall about unfavorable environ
ment and go into Mysteries over their
forbidding surroundings.
There is a lesson in two great lux
uriant, flourishing beautiful alfalfa
plants, growing on a high, dry, sun
burnt hillside near the high school
grounds in Pendleton, which should
knock all the pessimism out of those
who look on these splendid specimens
in their forbidding environment.
All about them the hot sun has
shrivled the pig weed" and scalded
the life from the struggling dandellon
The grass is withered, the rag weed
is sickly and pale and suffocating
dust covers the ground. 1t is appar-
tutAN iloAc IMAM d HuiulV GU Ittb "
water and all about these two rugged,
symmetrical plants is the waste and
desolation of a sun scorched hillside
But there they stand. green, luxuri-
ant, flourishing in spite of their sur
roundings. They are needless of the
dry hillside, unmindful Of the wither-
ed pig weed" and dandellon curled
up in early death. They do not wilt
away and waste their strength in the
hot sunshine. They are rooted deep
in the faith of life, firmly planted and
independent in their inhospitable en-
vironment and nothing checks their
growth. Their leaves are green while
all about them is the desolation of the
hillside.
Here is a lesson for unhappy men
and women. Here is an inspiration
for those who complain of their un-
favorable environment. Here is
living demonstration of one of the
greatest truths in human experience:
Every human being is the master of
its own destiny and can make or mar
its fate, as it chooses.
While all the world is complaining
about you, keep your leaves green
and keep on growing!

MOnanlY Wisdom.

You don't have to go to heaven to
find angels. You may find them on
almost any farm-sweet women,
around the cook stove, at the wash
| tub. at the ironing table, fitting about
everywhere, ministering to the wants
of their loved ones-sweet Marthas,
the angels that the world can not do
without.
If milk is kept in an ice chest or
closet. always have it in a tight ves-
sci, either a bottle or other vessel with
tight lid.
If you lay a silk waist away for
some time, take out the shields. They
give it an unpleasant odor and may
cause the silk to crack.
Too much meat, coffee and cake
are not good for growing children
Milk, onions, butter and fruit are far
better for muscle and health.
Before pouring the water from vege-
tables, turn the lid upside down, or
the water will lodge in the rim and
run back into the pot.
Do not leave fresh meat wrapped
in paper; It absorbs the juices Put 1t
in a deep dish and turn plate over 1t
before putting it in the ice chest.
Raspberry and blackberry jams are
much finer If the seeds are strained
out with a sieve Cook first, then run
through a common flour sieve: re-
turn to the fire and put in the sugar.
Two-thirds as much sugar as fruit Is
the best proportion and the one most
commonly used.
Lima beans are excellent If dried
while still young and green. She'll
put in cold water and set over the
fire. AS soon as the water begins to
simmer drain it from the beans and
spread them to dry. Unless the sun
Is very hot they are best spread on
thin muslin that is stretched over a
hoop. Raise it above the top of the
stove by resting it on bricks, and do
not have a very hot fire. Keep the
beans in a dry place To use, rinse,
soak in a little cold water and put
them to simmer slowly in the water
they were soaked in. Let it boil away
and add a little cream and butter
when the beans are soft.-From July

water and the preservation of vast
forests, combine in a glorious promise
OF utility which will crown that COM
ing age.
AS the eddying currents of a river
lay deep foundations for Islands which
in future are to rise up garlanded in
beauty, so are the various great forces
at work forming these states. Here
river is turned aside. there a city is
founded and over yonder a waste is
reclaimed, and ere we are aware, the
vast unused stretches of these great
states will rise up in matchess glory
for the use and edification of man
kind
We are just now at the open gate

REMINDERS.

In Pendleton are several reminders
of past Fourth Of July celebrations.
One young man not yet at middle age
is carrying about with him manned
hand as a result Of bomb explosion.
Another boy but little more than a
babe, has lost an eye from a shot
from a giant firecracker. Another
boy is minus three fingers, the work
Of a playful cannon.
These are simply reminders. 1t Is
terrible to start a child through life
MANNED and crippled, but 1t is more
terrible to think that it was manned
by wholly useless and nonsensical
custom which should be abolished.
So let us keep these in mind on the
Fourth Of July celebration. 1t is all
right to celebrate but let us be sensi-

ELECTRIC LINE FRANCHISE.

Every effort to secure a system OF
electric lines making Pendleton the
head and center, should be encourag-
ed by Pendleton and especially by the
city council. Pendleton does not want
to be an annex of walla Walla or a
station on a Walla Walla system.
She wants to be at her rightful place,
as the center of a system of her own,
permeating all parts of Umatilla
county.
The franchise asked for by ]. H.
Gwinn as trustee for Pittsburg and
Ohio capitalists promises o make
Pendleton the center of a system. 1t
is believed that the capitalists will ac-
cept the proposition when all the facts
are presented and it seems to be
move in the right direction.
At least, it will prevent walla walla
capitalists from bottling Pendleton up
for a number of years.
And the granting Of this franchise
should not interfere with the electric
line proposed by DR.. Coe in the west
end Of the county. There is room for
two electric lines in the county. In
fact, 1t would be better to have two
systems working independently and
simultaneously in different directions
out of the city both having this city
as their hub and center.
There should be no friction. no con-
tention in this matter. Both of the
proposed systems are needed and
there is ample room and traffic for
both. Both Of these systems promise
to make Pendleton and Umatilla
county independent of the Walla Wal
Ia concern which is now operating as
far as Milton.
Pendleton does not want to be bot
tied up for half a dozen years while
the Walla Walla system is being
slowly extended this way, drawing
Pendleton trade to that city from
month to month while the construc-
tion Of the line would be dragging
along.
This is a serious and vital matter
for Pendleton to consider and If the
Pittsburg or the Coe proposition
promises to make Pendleton indepen-
dent the council should not hesitate
to grant franchises to one or both
projects,

LAYING FOUNDATIONS.

Oregon, Idaho and Washington, the
great triumvirate of the northwest,
the three sisters OF the inter-moun-
tain region, are now in the formative
period. They are just now laying
foundations for a future civilization
which will surpass anything ever
known in human history.
Soil, climate, navigation, transpor-
tation, all are favorable. The mar
kets Of the world are waiting for their
products The home hungry thousands
of the east are waiting for the recla-
nation Of their arid lands and soon
the fruitlon will come.
Here and there the symetry Of thai
coming civilization Is seen above the
