Stake the plants as you have time
after they are set out When they are

with good. strong Irvine, and with
some assistance later on they will find

This plan could not be followed in

We think to drive the horses of the

And rise the common herd of men

But glad are we, when all is said and
done.
To rule the kingdom of one heart
with love.
We think to search the midnights
vast of skies,
And find upon its native height the
truth;
But glad are we, IL in one babys
eyes,
We see the stars OF beauty and of
youth.
We think with notes of some great
song to shake
The world and bid the iron ages
hear; ..-,
But glad are we. If dying echo wake,
Response in just one heart of
friendship near.
We think to play the God, and sit and

On high Olympus all our power

But glad are we, If when we've fallen
low,
We've strength to rise again from

ENTENTE CORDIALE.

Amid showers of cherry blossoms
Portland and Lewison entered into an
entente cordiale, or glad hand society,
last week, which presages good re-
suits for both Portland and the in
land empire OF which Lewiston and
her tributary territory form a large
part.
The completion of the Lewiston-Ri-
paria or Snake river cutoff on the
o. r. G. N, marks an epoch in the
history of the inland empire. 1t
means much to Portland and 1t
means more to Lewiston. Portland
needs the products Of that rich ter
ritory and Lewiston needed the better
transportation facilities which that
line affords and so the benefits are
mutual.
The completion of that line means
that Portland will now draw heavily
on territory heretofore claimed by
Seattle and Tacoma. With the o. R.
& y. and north bank lines penetrating
the eastern Washington territory,
thousands of tons of freight which
formerly went over the Cascade
mountains to the sound. will now
be whirled down the water grade to
Portland.
This all points to the commercial
supremacy Of Portland on the north
Pacific coast and means a more rapid
development of the inland empire ter
ritory.
SO all Of the inland empire has
cause to rejoice in this good fellow
ship society formed at Lewiston. We
are all members. We are all to share
in the benefits which are to come OF
The entente cordiale.

!AUTOMOBILISTS.

It seems necessary to again call at
tention of automobilists to the dan
gers Of running at a rapid rate Of
speed in the city. Twice this week
women have narrowly escaped being
run down on Court street by beginners
who were practicing with new ma
chimes.
Somebody will get killed or MAIN
ed by this reckless driving and au-
tomobilists should themselves see that
their fellow drivers are more careful.
Prejudice against the automobile Is
being constantly reduced, but II seri-
GUS accidents happen or injuries occur
this prejudice will be increased.
Umatilla county is the leading au-
tomobile county in the northwest,
outside of the big cities and special
precautions should be taken for the
protection Of the public. Many more
new machines will be sold in this
county The market is just now OPEN
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-05-05
DON'T BE \ KNOCKER.

The active advertising of the west
end Of Umatilla county is bringing
many land hunters to the county,
and nine-tenths of these investors
come to Pendleton before going out
to look at the land and irrigation
projects.
The East Oregonian is ashamed to
say it. but IT finds that every day
handful of curbstone knockers are at
work in this city trying to discourage
these people in going to Hermiston,
Echo and that locality The new
comers are told that they will not be
able to get sufficient water to produce
crops; that the wind blows the soil
away; that the country can never be
successfully irrigated and all such
rot.
In heavens name, why do these
knockers persist in discouraging peo-
pie who are here to invest? What
complaint have they against the irri-
CATION companies? Are they simply
Jealous and "sore" because they have
nothing to sell? Are tney natural
born knockers and parasites or what
is the matter?
Let us begin to boost Umatilla
county all together. Quit knocking
those who have land to sell and who
are advertising and bringing in new
people. Quit telling strangers the
dark side of it; quit being a sore
head.
Every new settler added to the west
end of Umatilla county means a new
patron for Pendleton. This is the
county seat and will always be, and
will naturally be the chief CONNER
clal and banking center Of the coun-
ty. So let US help locate new settlers
instead of discouraging them.
To the newcomers who meet these
knockers, the East Oregonian would
say: Don't stop to listen to such a
parasite. He is jealous of the active
people who are doing things he has
nothing to sell and he spends his
time knocking other peoples sales.
Don't get down on the knockers
level by listening to his lies. Go and
see for yourself. Growing crops and
running water are evidences which
cannot be disputed. Go out over the
projects and convince yourself that
these curbstone knockers are simply
professional bloodsuckers. And when
ever you deal with one of them-look
out,

A Bold Step.

To overcome the well-grounded and
reasonable objections OF the more intel
ligent TO the use Of secret, medicinal COM
pounds, DR.. R. V Pierce, of Buffalo, N.
Y, some time ago, decided TO make bold
departure from the usual course pursued
by the makers Of put-up medicines for do
nestle use, and so has published broad
cast and openly TO the whole world, full
and comphte list OF all the ingredients
entering inSe-the composition OF his widely
celebrated hedlcHes. Thus he has taken
his numerV1s patrons and patients into
his full E6n6Aence. Thus too he has re-
moved/hisIhedicines from among secret

FARMERS FOR THE UNIVERSITY.

The leading farmers of Umatilla
county are all in favor of supporting
the University of oregon and few OF
them will vote against the appropri-
alton.
While the grange started the move
ment against the university appropri-
alton, yet that organization does not
have the sympathy of support of the
rank and file of the substantial farm
ers of the state.
In Umatilla county, and in other
counties as well, the farmers sons
and daughters are students of the
university in large numbers. They
are proud of the institution, proud OF
the educational advantages it offers
and are glad that oregon is showing
6 willingness to improve and strength
en- the university.
Therefore, instead of voting against
an appropriation which would in
crease the advantages of the institu-
tion, these farmers are going to vote
for the appropriation. They want to
see the institution grow and expand
They want their sons and daughters
to have equal advantages with stu
dents of surrounding states. They do
not wish to bear the odium of having
throttled educational progress.

CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.

There is scarcely a day that this
paper does not receive some tainted
news from the Taft press bureau,
setting forth in glowing fashion the
rosy prospects Of Big Bill for secur-
ing the republican nomination for the
presidency, says the Southern Oregon
ian. Everything Is going for Taft
according to these reports, and they
come by every mail.
1t is said and on good authority
that more money is being spent on
Tafts pre-nomination campaign than
was ever spent on such a campaign
before. The country is filled with
agents for Taft, and not even Hearst
had as well an organized campaign
under way months previous to nomi-
nation day.
Who is putting up the money?
The need of a law governing the
publication OF all contributions made
for the election of representatives or
presidential electors, as provided In
the Mccall bill, which Speaker Can
non-always a faithful servant Of the
interests-will squelch, is apparent.
only the other day Thomas F. Ry-
an, the transit millionaire, told the
grand jury that several hundred thou
sand dollars contribution was made to
the campaign fund in 1899 by himself
and four associates-Dolan, Whitney,
widener and Elkins-and admitted
that the money was to be used to help

Mckinley and defeat Bryan in the
prellminaries to the presidential con-
test OF 1900.
These contributions were refunded
to these captains of industry" out Of
the funds OF the Metropolitan Street
Railway company Of New York with
interest some years later, a case Of
breach OF trust and plain stealing
from the stockholders OF the corpor-
alton.
This is but one OF the many abuses
that have grown out of the corpora
ton campaign contribution.

POPPY SEEDS 1000 YEARS OLD.

The extraordinary resuscitating pow
er of light recently received a curious
illustration in the silver mines of
Laurium. A mine had been abandon
doned 1000 years, when some poppy
seed was found beneath the Stag. The
Stag being removed in a short time
the entire space was covered with a
most gorgeous growth of poppies. Az
ter their 20 centuries rest they had
bloomed as vigorously as If they had
been borne by the flowers of last
spring.
