lamette valley. but which would be
disastrous to the development of this
county and burdensome upon her peo-
pie.
As Umatilla county is one Of the
three counties in the state most vital
ly affected by the Galloway decision
on the constitutionality of the state
tax law, it is highly important that
there should be some expression from
the united legislative delegation from
this county.
A legislators duty is not necessar-
lily confined to the sessions of the
legislature, but he can be of service
to the people of the state between
sessions, when emergencies affecting
the vital interests OF the people arise,
and It seems that right now, while
this tax law is being fought out in
the courts, Umatilla county should go
oil record for some fixed plan, some
definite policy which the county needs
and which the delegation will follow
in the coming session of the legisla-
ture.
Such an expression would have
much to do with shaping the tax leg
islation of the legislative session.
and it is better to outline a policy
before the legislature convenes, for
after it convenes there will be scores
o, other questions to distract the
members and confuse all their plans.

WHAT USiATHLLA NEEDS.

The election Of United States sena-
tor and the success of the political
parties in Oregon, are questions which
are dwarfed into insignifcance when
compared 10 the question of the ad-
Justment Of the oregon tax law, to
make it just, equitable, permanent
and stable.
This question should now be en-
gaging the most serious thought and
consideration Of the Umatilla county
delegation TO the legislature. Long
before the legislature meets the dele
cations from this and Morrow county
should hold conference and discuss
this vital matter and agree on some
plan. some procedure, some policy tC
be pursued in the coming session o.
the legislature.
Umatilla county is one Of the few
growing counties in the state. Hel

NOW FOR NEW WATER SYSTEM.

The action of Mayor Murphy in ap-
pointing Judge James A. Fee to a
place on Pendleton's water commits
sion, assures a new gravity system of
city water for Pendleton. 1t is un-
derstood that four of the five men,
bers of the commission are now heart
ily in favor of a gravity system and
that plans for such will be started at
once.
This is a cause for rejoicing in
Pendleton, as the hoodoo Of a short
water supply has hovered over the
city during the summer season for a
number of years. Every home owner
and every citizen interested in the
welfare of the city will welcome the
decision of the commission to secure
a gravity water system from the
mountains with genuine delight.
Such a system will be the best asset
OF the town.
1t Is urged by friends of the gravity
system, and correctly. too, that debt
incurred for a good system Of city
water is not burden. The water
system will begin paying profit from
the day it is installed and is the only
department of the city that is abso-
lutely independent and self-support-
ing.
The commission will be justified in
spending a quarter of a million dol
lars in bringing in a large supply OF
water from the Blue mountains. as
this Indebtedness need not be counted
with the city's other bonded indebted
ness. The water bonds will be paid
out Of the proceeds of the water sys-
tenn and will not be burden on the
taxable property of the city.
While the commission Is at work, 1t
will be justified and should be en-
couraged in securing a supply for a
city Of twice or three times Pendle-
toms present population. The initial
cost is the only cost and the benefits
derived from the fresh water supply
will offset tn cost many fold.
This will be an excellent advertise
ment as well as a source Of genuine
satisfaction to the residents Of the
CITY.

THE BAY STATE OF THE WEST.

If the dreams of Portland capital
lists do not fail of fruitlon, Oregon is
to become the manufacturing center
the Massachusetts, of the Pacific coast,
the Bay State of the golden west
Scores of streams falling down
their precipitous walls into the Co
lumbia river can be utilized for pow
er purposes. They fortunately fall
into the Columbia river, a stream
open to navigation for the products
Of their mills, close beside a transcon-
tlnental line of railroad, giving their
products choice of rail or water trans
portation.
Every lover of oregon hopes that
this dream comes true. Every Ore
gonian sends a good wish to Portland
in her effort to build up the state
and develop her magnificent resour-
ces.

Is THE oREGoNIAN WRONG?

The Portland Oregonian says that
no good town is dry and that no dry
town is a good town. This is high
sounding fallacy. 1t is a pretty play
on words, but 1t does not bear inves-
tigation.
Recently the entire state of North
Carolina went dry and every big town
in the state excepting Wilmington
and Durham, two OF the 10 big cities
in the state, voted dry within their
own precincts. Wilmington has a
population of 10000 and Durham OF
about $1,000.
Every other big town in the state,
including Charlotte 10000 population,
Ashevllle 5000, Greensboro 10000,
Raleigh 10000, Newbern $4,000,
voted dry and rs out of the 80 coun-
ties in the state were carried COM
pletely, towns and all, by the prohi-
bltionists.
Are none of these North Carolina
towns good towns? Are all these
people deluded in voting towns Of
from $1,000 to 10000 population dry?
AS towns go in the south, North
Carolina has some excellent represen-
tatives of southern towns. They are
not only bustling manufacturing and
numbering cities, but they are home
ard school centers of the first class.
And the statistical reports show
that they are all growing. They have
adopted prohibition from an economic
standpoint and they will make a sue
cess of it, as will every other city in
the United States which conscien-
tiously tries to get along without the
saloon.

The citizens of Medford, ore, are
the first to test the new recall amend
ment to the constitution, since Its
adoption on the first day of June,
Councilman John D. dwell is to be
recalled from his position on the city
council of Medford because he moved
from the ward in which he was elect
ed without the formallty of resigning
from the council. The recall Is the
proper thing for refractory officials

have it up their sleeve for such emer-

STOCKMEN TO RAISE DEER.

The department of agriculture be-
lieves that deer can be raised the
same as beef cattle, and its experts
have set themselves to the task OF
popularizing venison. A bulletin on
deer farming will. soon be issued.
The idea is to have stockmen raise
deer just the same as cattle, and the
experts declare that they are easily
raised and require but little care
while their meats command a high
figure. Surprise is expressed that
they should not have been raised on a
commercial scale long before this. In
many states there Is a law against
killing a deer, but it is thought that II
farmers started to raise them these
laws would be repealed.

TRAGEDIES OF THE HILLS.

Another pathetic tragedy of the
frontier is reported from Lewiston.
in the death of a recluse rancher at
the age of so years, in the loneliness
of his secluded cabin
Scattered here and there through
the mountains and forests, these her.
NIT characters, flotsam of pioneer
conditions, are found all over this
western land. We find them in the
hills around every lake. and by many
mountain meadow, living their quiet
and uneventful lives apart from fam
lily and kindred.
When the winter SHOWS lie deep
around their little cabins, and the
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-07-16

long night falls on the desolate will
derness, what thoughts, what memo
ries, must haunt these lonely men,
sitting there in solitude and darkness.
As the years go by they grow more
timid and shrinking, more abashed
and confused in their occasional con-
tact with civilization and society.
Thus their lonely lives wear away,
until some morning the accumstomed
curl OF smoke is lacking above the
cabin roof, and the faithful dog
stands guard as only mourner over
the place Of death.-Spokesman- Re-

The
General Demand

Of the Well-Informed Of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant
and efficient liquid laxative remedy of
known value; laxative which physi-
clans could sanction for family use
because its component parts are
known to them to be wholesome and
truly beneficial in effect, acceptable
to the system and gentle, yet prompt,
in action.
In supplying that demand with its
excellent combination of Syrup of
Figs and Elixir Of SIENNA, the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along
ethical lines and relies on the merits
Of the laxative for its remarkable
success.
That is one Of many reasons why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir OF SIENNA is
given the preference by the Well
Informed. To get its beneficial effects
always buy the genuine -manufac-
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.,
