More people travel vertically than
they do horizontally in New York.
In other words, the 5000 elevators
in Manhattan carry more passeng-
ers than do all the surface elevat-
ed and subways combined The
number of people using the eleyat-
ors in some of the big buildings is
almost incredible. In the gigantic
Park Row building, according to an
actual count, as many persons were
taken up and down in one day as
would be carried on an average by
the entire street car system of Nash
Vile, Tennessee: The longest vertf-
col trip will be furnished by one of
the elevators in the new tower OF
the Metropolitan building, where
there will be a straight lift OF one
ninth of a mile.

HENRY WATTERSON.

It is a pleasure to hear a deserving
man praised while alive and in pos
session OF his faculties that he may
enjoy It. The world too often re-
serves its praise until the man or wo-
man is dead. 1t is characteristic Of
humanity to underestimate a mans
work while he is alive, and overesti-
mate It when he is dead.
The East Oregonian takes pleasure
in printing the following excellent es-
innate OF Henry Watterson, the veter-
an editor Of the Louisville Courier
Journal. from the Baltimore Sun:
Colonel Watterson, we believe, is
the greatest living literary man. His
vocabulary is illimltable; his style is
electric; his figures of speech are
overpowering. He is a mighty phrase
maker; an author, inventor and origi-
nator Of eplgrams that will never die
no. never.
His compositions bristle and glitter
with all sorts Of novel and amazing
personages, metaphors, tropes and
images. "The star-eyed goddess Of

HOW TO GET LOW RATES.

There is one way in which Pendle-
ten can get lower fire insurance rates,
and that is by installing a chemical
engine and other improved fire fight
ing apparatus. When the new city
hall is completed and the home for
the fire department is equipped, the
city should install some new appara-
tus. The volunteer fire department
deserves some new fire fighting equip
ment and the city needs it.
II has been said repeatedly that
better fire fighting equipment would
reduce fire insurance rates and If this
is so, the property owners and busi-
ness men should find it out. Every
dollar invested in good fire fighting
apparatus is an asset to the city and
this should receive the earnest consid-
Grafton of the council.
The fire boys deserve whatever the
city is able to furnish them in the
way Of equipment.

II anybody believes that city prop

THE DESERT UNDER SCIENCE.

Through the municifent -philan
thropy of Andrew Carnegie, the
searching eye of science has been
turned upon the secrets of the Amer
lean desert and the scientific history
O., the wilderness will be written.
Through the Carnegie Institute OF
Washington, D. c., an institution
founded and endowed by Mr.. Carne-
gle for scientific research, the first
station of its kind in the world, sta
ton for the scientific study of plant
life in the. heart of the desert, has
been. established at Tumamoc Hill,
near Tucson, Arizona.
This is called the Desert Botanical
station of the Carnegie Institute and
is engaged in a detailed scientific
study of the flora 81 the Great Amer
ican desert. The information gained
through this station will be given to
the farmers of the west through bull
letins and press reports and it is be-
lieved that the results of the study
will help the dry land farmers in their
struggles with the desert.
So while people are cursing Andrew
Carnegie for having accumulated his
multi-millions, he is devoting his
wealth and energies to the advance
ment of knowledge, the distribution
of scientific facts and the investiga-
ton of the mysteries which surround
us. in every walk in life.
This desert botanical garden and
experimental station is but one of
the numberless arms of the Carnegie
Institute. 1t reaches into every un-
explored field and is using the mill
lions of the steel king to bring the
hidden secrets of nature from their
hiding places to be used for the edifi-
cation of humanity.

THE WORLDS WORK.

In, every community in the world,
something Of the worlds great for
ward movement is carried on. Here
in Umatilla county the Presbyterians
Methodists, Baptlsts, Christians are
invading the fartherest corners of the
county with church organizations and
Sunday Schools. On the Umatilla res
ervation among the Indians, the Cath
olics and Presbyterians are diligently
striving to improve conditions.
These tasks seem commonplace and
monotonous to the pessimist. But they
are parts of the great movement. They
are intimately connected with mis-
sionary efforts in India, Africa, Alas
ka. Like rivulets Joined to form the
great rivers, these struggling efforts
combine to make up the work Of the
world.
SO every effort should be encourag-
cd. No matter how insignificant II
may seem it is a part of the plan. II
requires all the united efforts of all
the moral forces Of the world to keep
the world moving ahead. So every
citizen should help wherever he can
No one knows how far reaching and
vital a small service may be in the
reckoning day of human civilization

IF WE HAD THE ELECTRIC LINE,


A woman from the east end of the
county. with her arms full of bundles
OF merchandise, while trying to board
the o. r. & y. train leaving Pendle-
ton for Walla Walla at o'clock last
evening, gave Pendleton a red hot tip
which is worth remembering.

you and get them electric cars down
here a person could 90 home with her
shopping with some comfort" she
said as she climbed into the coach.
Yes; if we would only get that
move" on US.
If the council would get a move
on IT and grant a franchise to the
company which promises to make
Pendleton the center of a system OF
electric lines.
If capitalists would only get a
"move" on them and assure the coun-
Gil that they mean business.

dleton bundles. 1t is worth thinking
about. even in this hot weather.

Install New Dredge.

NJ. H. Hare. one of the owners of
the dredge at Pierce City was an ar
rival last night from Spokane and
left this morning for a business visit
to the Pierce section, says the Lewis
ton Teller. 1t is understood the visit
of Mr.. Hare at this time Is in connec-
ton with plans for the installation OF
"a second dredge in the Pierce placer
fields
The pierce dredge has been in ope-
ration for the past two years, and the
results have been most satisfactory.
While the company has declined to
divulge any information as to the ac-
tual amount of gold secured. 1t is
claimed the machine has yielded an
average of 800 day above ex-
penses. The company owns a large
tract of the high placers in the
Pierce section, and by the installation
of more dredges would increase their
earnings accordingly.

Farmers Suffer from Storm.

During the recent storm, five of
the largest grain fields in the vicin-
ity of Tygh Ridge were damaged by
a hail storm of unusual violence, says
The Dalles Chronicle. These were
those Of Messrs. L. Rondeau, William
Hunter, Owen Jones, Trudell & Dem
mis- and E. Anderson, and situated Oh
the summit of Tygh Ridge. The
storm swept across the Des Chutes
divide, it is said, by those in the city
yesterday from that district, leaving
hail stones an inch in diameter, and
that many drifts of hailstones were
a foot deep in gulleys. The grain was
crushed to the ground, and it is fear
ed that the crops so injured will be
a full loss. North and west of the
hail belt the only damage done was
from the rush of water down the
canyons, where, in some instances,
small buildings were swept away, and
whatever could be moved and in the
path Of the storm was carried down
with the waters. Aside from this the
crops were uninjured by the rain
and there was no large loss of stock

NEWSPAPERS AND THE POLICE

The position taken by Lincoln Stef-
fens in a recent magazine that the
best way to catch criminals is to no,
tify the newspapers first and then
call the police is attracting the at
tention Of newspaper men in differ
ent parts of the country.
1t would seem there is hardly any
room for difference of opinion on
this subject, notwithstanding the po-
sition of Police Commissioner Bing-
ham of New York, who is reported as
saying police news should be kept
from the newspapers until the GRIM
inal has been arrested.
II by police news" the commits
sioner means news of what the police
are doing to catch the criminal we
agree with him. But this is quite a
different matter from news of a
crime. If a mans house has been
robbed, to publish the fact with a de-
scription of the stolen articles would
certainly make it far more difficult
to dispose of them without detection
than if the matter had been kept a
secret.
When the perpetrator of crime
is known, it is usually possible to Sc
cure a photograph, which If publish
ed in the newspapers puts the brand
of Cain" on him and makes it diff
cult TO escape. The police, of course,
would not get so much credit for
catching the criminal but that is not
a matter in which the public Is great
ly interested.
This suggests that newspapers in
many cities might adopt a different
course toward the police to the ad-
vantage of the public. The attitude
of the press is usually one of friendli-
ness and extreme leniency. 1t should
be friendly, but If the police had
greater reason to fear exposure in
the public prints there would be less
of the insolent swagger we too often
see in officers Of the law who are
supposed to be servants of the pub
lic.-American Press.

no shining example of sleuth work
