THE CALL OF THE PRAIRIE.

I love the grand old ocean
When its deeply, darkly blue
And when grey clouds bend lightly
down
It's grayest mlsts to WOO
l love to watch it's waves roll in
And break in snowy foam,
But-the Prairie keeps a calling:
Come home! Come home! Come
homew
love the grand old ocean
When the sun sinks in the west,
And the great gulls wing their even
ing flight
Across its darkening breast;
When the little divers" ride the
waves
Or plunge beneath the foam,
But-the Prairie keeps a calling:
Come home! Come home' Come
home!"
love the grand old ocean
When it's singing soft and low
And 1 love 1t when its voice is like
A thousands winds a-blow;
I love its dash upon the sands,
Its beat, its boom and foam,
But-the Prairie keeps a calling:
Come homel Come home. Come
home!"

IN APPRECIATION.
+ +++++++*++++++ + = :

Pendleton owes a debt of gratitude
to her volunteer fire companies, this
morning, which no idle and empty
words may discharge.
In the dead of night, when the fire
monster awakes to lick up the homes
a: d business blocks. this watchful.
alert. vigorous and efficient organl-
zation of brave men, leaps to the
breach, heroically defending the
property of the city.
With a stiff wind blowing last
night. it was threatening for a time,
But work saved the day. Dwelling
houses which were completely en-
veloped in flames several times were
actually saved. intact, except for a
little blistered paint.
This kind Of work really counts
for something in the life Of the city.
The fire companies last night saved
the city perhaps a hundred thousand
dollars by arriving in time on the
scene and by efficient work after
arriving
Hereafter. whatever the fire boys
want. in the way Of fire fighting ap-
paratus. let them have it. They have
earned II.

Is HOOD RIVER SCARED?

From the angry tone Of the HOOD
River Newsletter in speaking Of the
East Oregonian's announcement OF
the rivalry between Hermiston and
Hood River in the production Of early
Strawberries. one would think the
Hood River folks are already scared.
Hermiston and Hood River are
simply engaged in a friendly rivalry
to see which can first reach Portland
next spring with ripe strawberries.
1t Is no serious matter. No matter
who wins in the commendable con-
test. nobody will die or lose anything
over it. So there is no reason for the
Hood River paper being angry.
Hermiston strawberry plants are
now sending out roots into the rich
humus Of the irrigated belt are
bracing their feet in the sand and
gripping the earth with the strong
hands Of their fruit roots and when
the early spring sun opens up its
batteries at Hermiston and the warm
winds get busy and the trlckling cur
rent from the Umatllla reservoir
touches the earth, let Hood River
look out.
The East oregonlan is not a "sci-
critic" strawberry raiser, as one
would take the Hood River News
Letter 10 be, Judging from the In
comprehensive technical terms and
words used by that paper, but the
East oregonian is backing Hermiston
and believes that without any array
o. scientific words or phrases to as
sist. that Hermiston will send rich,
ripe berries to Portland first next
spring.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-08-20

Campaign funds are coming to be
considered absolutely useless, for the
reason that the spirit Of independence
and personal investigation on the part
OF voters is everywhere apparent and
no amount OF campaign oratory can
change very many votes. Within a
few years such things as campaign
orators will be unknown. People will
dc their own thinking, entirely and
would consider It an insult for any
man to climb upon a platform and
begin to tell them what they should
or should not do, what they should
or should not believe. And this In
dependence will not stop at politics.
The time is not far distant when
every man and woman will do their
own religious thinking, also.

space to be caught at random by any
one listening.
This makes one think Of the mira
Gle Of the wireless telegraph. 1t
filings out It's messages into the vast
space Of the heavens, not knowing
who will hear the cry Of the air not
dreaming whose listening instrument
on some distant mountain top will
catch the whispered words, and
wonder at their meaning.
Imagine the air filled with MESA
ges. criss-crossing through space.
Imagine the receptive instruments
situated on the far away coasts and
on the mountain tops catching the
confused words flung out from the
hurrytng steamship, the busy marts
OF trade. the centers OF news and ac-
tivity It is a really marvellous pic
ture TO benold.
But it will be more marvellous still
when the wireless telegraph instru-
ment is so far perfected as to direct
its messages to a given point, to a
given receiver. without discovery by
the listening ears" of other instru>
ments.
That will be the true marvel OF the
thing when one man may talk to
certain other man a thousand miles
away. through the air, without fear
Of his message being interrupted,
heard or delayed by any other man
or instrument That day is coming.
The Marconrs and the Edisons are
still at work in the miracle-rooms Of
science.

REMINISCENT.

Two years ago, three years ago
and four years ago when It was be-
coming apparent every day that PEN
dleton would soon need a larger and
better water supply. the East Ore
gonian urged upon the city councils
and water commissions then in office
to secure a water and power supply
on the upper Umatilla river for fu-
ture use.
Month after month tho necessity Of
securing the available sites for the
city was urged by this paper, and still
no action was taken, not movement
was made.
Today the city is seriously seeking
Ia larger water supply. There is ur>
gent need for such a supply for rea.
sons Of health and public necessity,
An engineer is being sent out at this
late date, thanks to the present,
water commission, but what will he
find?
He will find that private corpora
tions have very recently located all
the available water sources and pow
er sites. He will find that the city
Of Pendleton is "up against it" for a
water supply. He will flhd that the
water of the Umatilla river, instead
OF being available for the use of the
whole people OF this city who will ur-
gently need it within two years more.
is all cornered by private corpora
tions as a source of profit for two or
three men,

trouble-maker, a scold, and its editor

anyway. Let US listen to the "old-
timers" that Is the only safe pro-
cedure. The "old-tlmers" have the
interests Of the city "at heart"
But where are We going to get the
water? To whom will we now pay
handsome price? Who is respon-
sible for the failure of the water
commissions Of two and three years
ago in securing an adequate supply?
And who now GOWNS" the Umatllla
river?

SOMETHING ELSE IN LIFE.

Nine-tenths Of the newspapers Of
this country devote the greater part
Of their editorial space to politics, in
season and out, says Field and Farm,
Many discuss no other subject. The
editors seem to be under the impress
sion that nothing else under the sun
is worth mentioning.
Granted that the heads Of all
families like politics, 1t must be ad-
mitted that there are mothers and
growing boys and girls to whom the
wearying details OF campaigns and
candidates are insufferably tedious
II would increase the education
and moral value Of American news
papers IL they would endeavor to
realize that the game Of politics is not
all there Is in life.

HARD WINTER PREDICTED.
Snow and Cold Soon Due, Say Ma.
rine ProphetS

Rivermen who are weatherWise are pre-
dieting a change in the weather that will
not be pleasant. They say the change is
not far off.
Their opinions are based on the recent
heavy fog. A spell Of bad weather in
variably follows a spell Of thick, foggy
weather they assert
A hard. cold winter. in spite Of the fact
that so far the weather has been. the
greater part of the time almost summer
like in it's temperature, Is predicted. Ma
rine weather prophets all agree that d

London Tackles Servant Problem.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
Ways without number have been de-
vised to meet the ever troublesome serv-
ant problem and the only point of agree
ment touching 1t appears to be that It
has never been met. The latest propoS I'd
solution is offered by the London county
council, d governmental agency which has
no parallel in this country, but may be
compared in general way to the board
of public service in an Ohio city. This
council announces it's intention to erect
somewhere in the suburbs of London
home for the accommodation and training
of girls who wish to enter service as
cooks, houSekeepers and nurse girls. The
girls are 10 be given a. years training
free at the end OF which period they will
be recommended to the British public
as experts qualified for The most eXacting
service in the homes of the most fastidl-
Gus citizens of the metropolis.
II is real pubic benefaction the Lon
don council promises TO undertake Seri-
Gus objections on financial grounds would
be found to the plan in this country, but
this does not necessarily condemn 1t. If
the British have the money and wish 70
spend it in that way Americans will offer
no criticism. and might, indeed, be in
clined to attempt to import some of the
graduates of the new training school
when the system shall have proved its
virtue.
