ART IN RAILROADING.

The Pennsylvania Railroad compa-
ny is engaged in a commendable un.
dertaking in the way of providing
timber for cross ties IN TIL. future.
The company in its forestry planting
for this year, set out $4,000 trees
These make, up to the present time.
2.425,OOO trees which have been set
out by the railroad since it undertook
tree-planting on a comprehensive
scale.
Economically to prosecute the
planting Of trees on a large scale has
necessitated the importation of much
European plant material, which, ow,
ing to the degree Of perfection to
which the foresters of Europe have
brought their work, can be bought at
a much lower price in that country
than in America.
This year the Pennsylvania Railroad
company imported over 100000 seedl-
ings, Of which all not large enough to
be planted in their permanent sites
have been set out in transplant rows
in the new forest nursery established
this year by the company at Norris
vile, Pa.
In the seed beds were sown this
year 25 bushels of acorns and nuts,
$40 pounds Of other hardwood seeds
and IS pounds of confer seeds. In
100000 seedlings were per-
manently planted in land belonging
TO the company
Trees which are not suitable for
timber production are being grown
for ornamental trees and plants for
bcautlfying its property and intends
t. develop large amount Of shrub
berry and hedges for the protection OF
ornamentatlon of the station grounds
and rights Of way.
This work will be continued until
all station grounds and unoccupied
ST aces on the right Of way are parked.

TWO GOOD NIGHTS.
In the City.

III the Nlty.
Good night dear, happy, noisy streets!
The changing bells and hurrylng feet,
When | am safely tucked in bed
And all the daytime thoughts are
fled.
Are just like music to my ears,
And drive away the nighttime fears.
Good night, dear street; your lights
so bright
Shine through my window all the
night,
And company they are to me;
But oh, how lonely it must be
Where everything is strange ana
dark!
In the Country.
Good night, dear hills. SO still you
lie
Against the bosom of the sky,
I know you must be fast asleep;
And all night long the stars will
keep
Their tender watches over you;
So must l soon he sleeping, too.
Good night, dear hills; for now go
To slumber, trustfully and slow
But bedtime must be cherries,
gray,
To those who can't look out and say
Cor them. my heart with pity fillsD
One good night to dear, friendly
hills.

\ TIP To TEACHERS.

The failure of one-third of the
teachers applying for certificates to
teach in Umatilla county at the recent
examination is worthy of a passing
thought.
Teachers. like other business men
and women, must keep up with their
profession. Because you have been
granted a certificate to teach is no
reason for you to quit studying.
The editor who makes a success
studies his business every day The
merchant who succeeds keeps pace
with his special line from week to
week. He never quits improving.
The increasing competition of the
age demands Increasing proficiency.
As the cart Of teaching develops teach
ers must advance. As new methods
creep into your profession you must
meet them and grapple with them.
Teaching ike any other hard work
demands constant care lest you lag
behind your fellow workmen. The
way to be ready for the unexpected
questions in an examination, is to
keep constantly at it. study your pro-
fossion. It will slip away from you
If you relax your grip.
The teacher should be the busiest
student in the school room.

SAYS the Oregonian in despair.
Chamberlain is already elected. The
people attended to that on June }.
Nothing more is to be done except for
the legislature to ratlfy that choice.
The Oregonian, Taft, Bourne nor Cake
have nothing to do or say in that mat
ter. The people settled it.
Now II the Oregonian is a republi-

their campaign managers want to see
the state carried by Taft, let them get

LEGISLATORS COMPARED.

A number Of republican legislators
OF the state Of oregon have recently
been urged to resign from the legis-
lature rather than vote for a democrat
for United states senator. One or two
anti-statement No. members have
said that they would resign rather
than vote for Chamberlain.
Let US compare the two classes Of
legislators and see which Is more fit
to be servants Of the people.
The statement No. members are
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-08-19

progressive, broad, charitable. They
can "see beyond their noses" They
are men who are willing to heed the
wish of the people, their masters
They are not hide-bound nor preju-
diced They believe that others have
right to think as we'll as themselves
Take Charles \. Barrett of Uma-
tilla county, as an illustration. Mr.
Barrett is a man of high intelligence,
liberal views. broad-minded, honest
and conscientious, Mr., BaTetts
neighbors all respect him highly, ir>
respective of party ties. They know
they will set square deal from
Charley" Barrett.
Mr.. Barrett believes in the major
ity rule. He believes that the people
are the highest power in the land.
He promised to heed the wishes
of the people and he was re-
warded by receiving the highest vote
cast for a member of the legislature
in Umatilla county.
At the recent election statement No.
1 was enacted into law by the largest
vote accorded to any of the initiative
measures. over $4,000. That justifies
the statement No. l members in the
advanced ground they have taken,
The little fellows who would not
vote for a democrat although that
democrat may be the popular choice
of the state refuse to abide by the de-
cision of the whole people of the
state. If they refuse to do the peo>
pies bidding in this instance, would
they work for the interest of the
people in other matters Of legislation?
If they refuse to listen to the voice
of the people in the election Of
senator, would any kind of a petition
from the people be binding on these
men? Are they safe legislators? Do
they not respect party and party lead
ers far more than they do the whole
sovereign people of a state?
Where the peoples interests we're
involved in any other matter would
not these men be against the people
and for the corporations, the political
leaders. the bosses? Are they safe
men to trust with such an important
matter as legislating for a whole pe9-
pie?
The people should think of these
things and remember in all subse-
quent elections to be sure that their
legislators are the peoples friends,
and not self-asserted judges and die
tators. Are not the people of the state
greater than any man or set of men?
If the anti-statement No. men dis
regard the people in n senatorial elec-
tion would they respect the common
welfare of the state in any question
of legislation? Would not personal
and partisan considerations override
any claim the people might have up
on them in any other matter?
Are they safe men to have in the
legislature, judged from their own
utterances concerning the peoples
choice?

STABS PRIEST IN CHURCH.
Missouri Pastor Badly Injured by De-
 nented Parishioner.


 Salisbury, Mo, May 25.-In the pres. ence of 400 worshipers Father Joseph F. Lubeley, aged thirty-three years, pastor of St. Joseph's Catholic church, was stabbed twice with a pocket knife and perhaps fatally injured in church by Joseph Schuette, a farmer, who is believed to have become suddenly de- mented. A panic was narrowly avert ed among the communicants, many of them women. The injured man was taken to a nearby residence, where his wounds were attended by physicians. His condition is critical.
 Immediately after Father Lubeley had finished high mass he started to leave the church. At the door Schuette rushed upon the priest suddenly from behind and. stabbing him twice, bore the pastor to the floor. The first blow from the knife struck the priest in the temple, and the second cut a deep gash in the neck, just missing the jugular vein.
 The crazed man was about to stab the priest third time when Mrs. Barbara Ginter and John Gates, both members of the church, caught his up- lifted hand. In the struggle which fol- lowed Schuette stabbed Mrs. Ginter in the hand and inflicted a painful cut on Gates arm. A dozen men ran to the aid of Mrs. Ginter and Gates and over powered Schuette. Struggling and fight. ing. Schuette was taken to jail. .Schuettc has been a devout member of St. Joseph's church. His attack on tho priest has not been explained.
 Father Lubeley was taken to St Mary's inhrmary. St. Louis. Physi. clans attending him say his condition is satisfactory and that he will recover unless complications set in.

MYSTERY oF THE SEA
Crew Suspected of Wrecking
 Their Own Vessel.
DRIVEN ASHORE ON REEF.
Passengers and Sailors Drift About For
 Five Days In Open Boat, Suffering
 Hardships - Lawyers Investigating 4 Charge Made by Seaman.

New York. May 25.-Under condi- tions of the utmost secrecy an investi- gation was held in the law offices of Wallace. Butler & Brown, at 54 Wall street, into the wrecking of the Greek steamship Cyclades, of 3,019 tons gross, on Sand cay, in the Bahama reefs, between Abaco and Stirrup cays, on May 13..
 For the first time in almost half a century shipwrecked crew, resting under the shadow of the most serious crime of the high seas-that of delib erately wrecking their vessel to get the insurance-was brought to this port. The crew is under surveillance.
 The alleged crime is made graver by the fact that the ship carried four passengers, including a young woman and little girl.
 Suffering of Passengers and Crew.
 If the suspicion that the Cyclades was deliberately driven on a reef in the Bahamas during a heavy storm is well founded 1t was one of the most dastardly crimes of the seas. The wreck brought frightful suffering to both crew and passengers and almost resulted in the drowning of the wom- an and her little sister with the others in one of the lifeboats of the ship.
 For five days seven sailors and four passengers in the second boat were tossed about in driving storm, with but scant supply of water and prac- tically no food. Every big wave threatened to swamp the boat, and day and night, the woman and child standing their watch as we'll as the men, half the occupants of the boat had to bail ceaselessly to keep it afoat while the remainder recuperated their strength to take their turn at bailing.
 The first boat, with fifteen members of the crew. fared little better, but the lives of all the company from the wreck were constantly in danger fror the heavy seas. They finally reache one of the smaller West Indian is- lands, sailing thence for Nassau, from which port they reached New York.
 Parrots Kept Up Their Spirits.
 All the time that the second boat was in imminent danger it carried two large cages containing two parrots, one the property of the woman and the other the pet of the child. The birds had no water or food, but kept up their good spirits and by their quaint sayings and paths brought a laugh from all even in the face of death. .-
 One of the seaman. George Tietgep, who was brought to this port on the vigilancia, escaped the vigil of the de- tectives and told some of the facts re- garding the cruise and laundering of the Cyclades, which were afterward verified and make it in many respects the most remarkable tale of the sea that has been told in years.
 The Cyclades was an iron tramp steamer flying the Greek flag and traded between Trieste, Genoa and gulf ports. She was fifteen years old and pretty we'll used up by the batter ing of the seas and constant service, but still useful as a cargo boat and re- garded as seaworthy.
