SCHOOL DAYS.

on Monday, September I. the first
Monday in the month, the public
schools doors of Pendleton will open
and 1000 merry children will don
their fall bonnets, gather up their
books and hike" to school.
1t is a pleasant time of year, this
Indian summer. school time and end
of harvest From all the fartherest
streets and lanes the little tots will
come to school and life takes on a
new aspect The town always awak-
ems from the semi-conscious period
Of summer when the crisp morning
and school days arrive.
Already numerous farmers are in
quiring for houses in town and by
the time harvest is entirely over and
grain hauling done, the public schools
will be brimming full.
It promises to be a good school
year. Increased attendance from
every part of the county is promised
and teachers and students are look
ing forward to the opening day with
enthusiasm and delight Pendleton
offers more in an educational way
this fall than ever before. The
schools are better equipped, have
wide scope and better organization
than ever before.
Farmers seeking a place to educate
their children cannot afford to over
look the advantages of Pendleton.
The city has made special effort to
make her schools attractive. Moth
ing has been left undone to meet the
demands of the surrounding country
in the way of equipment and the
standard of the schools is even better
than the material equipment of the
schools.
There is a school spirit that is con-
tagious. Even the little third and
fourth graders have their yells, their
notices, their class rivalries. their
athletic contests. And out of this
class rivalry and splendid school spir-
it, comes a mental progress, an ad-
vancement in their studies which is
impossible where there is less spirit
and rivalry.
Are you coming 10 Pendleton? Are
you ready for school? Will you take
advantage of the excellent opportu-
nifty which this city has placed before
you?

desolate for one having heard the
noise Of life.
All through eastern Oregon are the
wrecks Of once lively little sawmin
towns in the foothills. During the
halcoyn period OF sawmiuing in the
cary eighties, when timber was plen-
tiful hundreds OF men made fortunes
and built up respectable settlements.
Now the mountains are stripped,
the towns dead, the settlements for
saken and the waste lands more
worthless for having been stripped
OF their protecting forests,
The fact remains that the agrlcul-
tural belt, the substantial settlements
depending upon the rich soil of the
eastern Oregon counties are the per-
manent ground work for eastern Ore
gon's civilization.
Towns like Pendleton and La
Grande, founded upon a permanent
basis with agriculture. irrigation and
stockraising as resources, are going
constantly forward. The growth may
not be swift but it is certain and
steady.
The once desert land of Umatilla,
Union and Baker counties is now
supporting what promises to be the
most substantial, most prosperous
and most progressive population of
the northwest. Unlike the frontier
settlements of the mining and saw
mill districts, this country founded
upon agriculture will grow stronger
and more prosperous with age.
1t will not see its resources dimin-
ish, but rather as cultivation and
care and irrigation enriches the soil,
the resources will constantly increase
and grow stronger.

IT'S A GOOD SIGN.

From all indications it seems that
a resumption of expenditures for con-
struction, improvements and equip
ment is considered by most Of the
railroads.
The physical condition of the roads
would be much benefited by such ex-
penditures, which in turn would BEN
eft general business. Orders for any
considerable quantity Of equipment
would Immediately give the steel bus
mess a period of increased activity,
and as steel is considered the barom-
eter of trade, this activity through the
increased tonnage Of the railroads,
and the employment Of additional la
bor would inevitably extend to other
industrial lines.

Chaplain Garfield Circle, writes:
"Peruna has been blessing to our
family for a good many years, as we
have all used it off aud on forrolds and
catarrh, and have given it to all Of my
children with the best of results.
81 found that cold left me with
catarrh Of the head in very bad form.
My head was stopped up, had frontal
headaches, my eyes bothered me, and
there was nasty dropping in my
throat which nauseated me and made
1t impossible many times for me to eat
my breakfast.
"As soon as began to use Peruns l
found it relieved me, my head soon
cleared up and in remarkably short
time was rid Of catarrh.

TO THE LEGISLATORS.
+++*+*+++ = = ++++ :

Here is a personal message, a d.
rect and driving reminder to you,
Bill Smith and John Jones and Dick
Brown and every other individual
member Of the oregon legislature:
Are you. John Jones. going to be
the individual member of this legis-
lature who will sell your soul to the
corruptionists who are trying to over
throw the people in the election of
United States senator's?
Are you going to be the traitor who
shall come home from Salem brand
ed with infamy and odium, a treach-
erous, dishonest, corrupt tool who
took part in delivering the state leg
islature over to the boodlers?
Are you going to be one of the indi-
vidual members who defy the sover-
eign people of this state who have de-
clared by a majority of $4,000 votes
that the peoples choice shall be heed
ed in the election of United States
senator?
Do you expect to defy the sover-
eign electorate of this state in this
fundamental matter and still come
home and live a respected man among
your neighbors? Or are you willing
to come home wearing the earmarks
of the corruptionists, wearing the col
lar of the boodlers, carrying in your
heart the knowledge that you have
been a party TO a corrupt scheme to
set aside the will Of the people?
No matter if a democrat has been
elected. The people are greater than
you or a dozen or hundred like you.
You are not a dictator You are a
servant an agent a representative.
You have no choice higher or more
binding than the peoples instruc-
tions TO you.
viii you do your duty or will you
shirk It? Are you a friend Of the
sovereign people of this state or are
you a member Of the little selfish
gang which is trying to retain ito
grip on the patronage and offices Of
the state?
This is a matter for you to decide,
Mr.. Legislator.

that a Carnegie library building may

Honestly. now. are you not proud
Of Pendleton's record for the first two
months Of prohibition? Isn't it worth
something to have the streets rid of
drunken men. beer kegs and other
evidences Of the saloon? No town in
the world ever advertised how many
saloons 1t supports. That is enough
to convince you that nobody is really
proud OF the liquor business.
