HACK HONEST WRESTLER, BUT

NEW YORK, March 12.-Honest
wrestling is to have an opportunity,
say the press agents of the Hacken-
schmidt-Gotch match. So radical
is the statement that it deserves
as much attention as a Roosevelt
message. Hackenschmidt. it is said,
has never had to fake. He gets the
money without resorting to the ia
miliar cross out. But Hacken-
schmidt is young. And he has been
In this land of funny jobs but once.
Now that he is matched with Gotch
for 100000, according to the afore-
said press agents, he may learn.
When the time comes, betting will
probably be brisk with the Rus
sian heavy on the long end. The
$4,000 stake won't be a drop in
the bucket and Hack can make
three times as much by losing to

THE IDEAL LEADER.

He is one who counts no public toll
so hard
As idly glittering pleasures. One
controlled
BY no mob's haste. nor swayed by
gods of gold,
Prlzing, not courting, all just mems
regard,
With none but man hoods ancient or
der starred
Nor crowned with titles less august
and old
Than human greatness. Large
Drained, limpid souled.
Whom dreams can hurry not nor
doubts retard.
Born, nurtured of the people. living
still
The peoples life and though their
noblest flower,
In naught removed above them, save
alone
In loftier virtue, wisdom, courage,
power,
The ampler vision, the serener will,
And the fixed mind, to no light dl
lyings prone.
William Watson.

THE FLUTES OF SPRING.

The flutes of spring are all in tune
And playing everywhere.
Oh crystal-clear and ripple-toned
They sound along the air.
The long arpeggios Of the sun
Sweep over hill and plain,
And in the misty valleys sound
The runs and trills Of rain.
Wild melodies of strolling winds
Go swift across the sky,
The young-leafed wood is loud with
calls,
Where nesting robins fly.
Some spirit roams upon the earth,
Newborn, wing -sandalled, free,
And for him, where he strays, the
flutes
Pour out their melody.
Then listen to the tune of them
That play at April's birth,
Whose call is to the waking heart
From the deep soul Of earth.

ner.

HELP PENDLETON SCHOOLS.

There are scores Of wealthy farm
ers in Umatilla county who are will
ling to give large sums of money for
the advancement of education. These
men have made their money in Una
tilla county and have their homes in
this county and the East Oregonian
appeals to them to make Umatilla
county schools the objects of their
beneficent charity.
No need to go outside of the state
or even outside of the county to find
worthy educational institutions which
need endowments, and which can be
tuilt up to become monuments to
Umatilla county's enterprise and en-
lightenment.
Pendleton academy and st. Jo-
seph's academy Of this city are wor-
thy Of your support. They are both
educating large numbers Of young
people free, while the cost to those
who pay Is but small.
If you have money to give to edu-
cation, give it to Umatilla county
schools. Let us build them up and
make them permanent. Let us place
them in an independent position
where they can be self-suppoPting ana
on a permanent basis.

PLANT TREES!

The suggestion is frequently made
that out-of-the-way places should be
utilized by planting fruit trees, there
by securing return from lands now
unproductive, says the Pocatello
Tribune.
This plan contemplates that fence
rows and fence corners shall be
planted to fruit trees, and that where
brush now holds possession trees full
of apples. cherries or plums shall be
seen. At first thought the idea seems
a good one. for undoubtedly there are
many small strips and corners on
Idaho farms where fruit trees could
be planted.
But modern conditions of fruit
growing make the plan impractlcable.
\ fruit tree planted in a corner or
close to fence must be a neglected
tree. The farmer cannot plow
around it or cultivate II to maintain
thrifty growth. Brush grows up
around II and since the tree does not
present a thrifty appearance, prun-
ing is neglected. Because It is close
to fence in the brush, he canno,
get around 1t conveniently to spray
1t.
As a consequence 1t soon becomes
a breeding place for fruit pests and
a producer Of unmarketable fruit.
Instead of planting close to a fence,
the first row of trees in an orchard
should be at such a distance as to
permit thorough cultivation on all

EASY TO DRIFT.

Easy to drift to the open sea
The tides are eager and swift and
strong,
And whstlng and free are the rush
ing winds,
But, OH to get back is hard and
long!
Easy as told in Arabian taie,
To free from his jar the evil sprite,
Till he rises like smoke to stupen-
dous size,
But, oh, nevermore can we prison
him tight!
Easy as told In an English tale,
To fashion a Frankenstein, body
and soul,
And breathe I'm his bosom a breath
of life,
But. 'oh, we create what we can
not controll
Easy to drift to the sea of doubt,
Easy to hurt what we cannot heal,
Easy to rouse what we cannot soothe,
Easy to speak what we do not feel,
Easy to show what we ought to
conceal
Easy to think that fancy is fate,
And, oh the wisdom that comes too

REMEDY FOR BIG FARMS.

Everybody knows that the big
farms OF Umatilla county are a posi-
tive drawback to the county, while
they may be highly profitable to their
owners. As the land is accumulated
into a few hands homes are abandon
ed, school houses locked up and dis
tricts allowed to lapse.
The farms are handled by few
hired men, but these are no addition
to the country settlements. The fami-
lies that once occupied the big farms
before they became the property of
one man, have either moved to the
towns or out of the county and state
entirely. The country settlements
are running down every year.
But what is the remedy? How
are you going to prevent men from
investing in wheat land? Who shall
deny any citizen the right to buy out
his neighbor If he can?
Although this program may kill the
county as a home district and may
stop the growth of the towns, who
will dare to lift a hand against the
program? These farmers own their
land legitlmately They earned their
money honestly and have a right to
spend it for more land, automobiles
or in any other investment which
pleases them.
There is but one remedy which may
be applied by legislation and that is
the graduated land taxa tax which
will make it improbable to own more
than a certain amount of productive
land. This will stop land monopoly
quicker and more surely than any
ether remedy.
But how many of the people of
UmatilIa county, or Oregon will vote
tc enact a graduated land tax? With
the remeday within their grasp how
many have the courage to put the
remedy into effect? 1t is a big ques-
ton. But it is a question which every
old settled section must meet some
time. AS the land is needed by home
less people, society will simply be
forced to adopt some protective and
remedial measure which will stop
monopoly.
With a system of electric lines COW
ering Umatilla county and the county
cut up into small tracts the popula-
ton would be quadrupled. With the
present big farms the wheat belt will
stand where it is today. Progress is
impossible.
But who will have the courage to
apply the remedy for the big farm?

Women Who Wear Well.

II Is astonishing how great q change q
few years Of married life often make In
the appearance and disposition Of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from
peach which Is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
Of its freshness and the form Of its
fairness.

the harness and help get new settlers
and start new enterprises.
Everybody admits that Pendleton is
in the heart OF the best country in the
west and is most favorably located,
If she does not grow and prosper 1t
will be the fault OF a few men who
own large property interests, but who
refuse to take an active part in keep
ing the town alive.
So when the mass meeting for
boosting Pendleton is held ON Monday
night, and on every other meeting Of
Fendleton Commercial association,
these heavy property owners should
be present to take part. They are
the interested parties. They have
their investments at stake and they
must do something to keep Pendleton
going ahead.
This editorial is not intended TO
hurt anybody's feelings in this mat,
ter and It is not a roast" but 1t is a
plain business talk with business men
who are equally interested with the
East Oregonian in the growth of this
beautiful CITY, There must be re-
newed interest, a cooperation in PEN

and take part. They will suffer II the
town stops growing or deteriorates.

TO PROPERTY OWNERS!

On next Monday evening Pendleton
Commercial association will hold a
monster mass meeting to see what
can be done to inject new life into
the city. At present things are drag
ging along in a rut The wooden mill
is idle where it should be running,
ard employing 40 people. a num-
ber of vacant houses and store build
ings are found in the town and few
new people are coming in.
Something is the matter, notwith-
standing Pendleton's excellent record
and excellent location and far-reach-
ing reputation as a business, banking
and trading center.
Here is what is the matter: The
leading property owners, the men who
own the principal buildings in the city
take but slight interest in the affairs
of Pendleton Commercial association
and depend upon their tenants to do
the boosting for the town and keep
things moving.
II the town goes down who will suf-
fer? The landlord, Of course. and
not the renter. Then is not the land
lord. the property owner, the man to
see that Pendleton does not go down?
The tenant can go elsewhere and rent
another building and engage in busi-
ness, but the Pendleton property
owner is the man who must stay
here and suffer any deterioration or
dullness or stagnation.
So here is what must be done: The
large property owners Of Pendleton.
the men who are drawing the rents
and paying the taxes, must wake up.
They must realize that they are to be
the heaviest losers if Pendleton goes
down. Their entire property is at
stake. They must suffer whatever
loss comes.
The East Oregonian is not going to
speak dlsparagingly of anybody, but
in order to set the facts emphatlcally |
tefore the city, it is necessary to speak
plainly There is large number of
the largest property owners in the city |
who scarcely ever go near the Com
merclal association and who take no |
active part in its affairs, whatever.
Among these men are w. F. Mat
lock, Charles Brownfeld, ]. r. Dick |
son, 3. F. Rem, Joe Basler, Joe Ell,
James Crawford, John Schmidt, the
ODD Fellows lodge, the O. R. & ", |
J. NJ. Ferguson, c. F. Colesworthy,
the Eagles building, the Bowman no.
tel, the Golden Rule hotel building,
Hotel St. George, Gus La Fontaine, c.
c. Hendricks John Temple, the De-
spain building and many others who
own large interests IN the city
Any two or three Of these men |
could start Pendleton woolen mills
within few hours by putting their
Shoulder to the wheel and loaning |
somebody with experience sufficient
funds to start with. This would en-
p.oy 40 people, would fill up Is or
20 vacant dwellings, circulate several
thousand dollars per month and
would stimulate business in every
way.
The property owner and not the
tenant is the man who is interested.
He must suffer His property depre-
ciates in value II the town stops grow
ing and IT is up to him to get into
