has not been living as long as he
should. That this is true is indicated
by the fact that improvements in med
ical science have had the effect OF
lengthening life.
Statistics show that within the past
100 years the life of the average man
has been heightened from eight to IL
years. This has been due 10 the fact
that science now battles more sue
cessfully with disease than in the
past. Great pestilences do not occur
now in civilized countries. When
bubonic plague or Asiatic cholera are
prevalent in other portions of the
world the United States health Of
ficers stop the entrance OF the dis
ease into America.
Medical science also battles with
such epidemics as small pox and
scarlet fever more successfully than
it did. By the practice of vaccination
small pox has been robbed Of its old
time terror and the great crusade
now being made against tuberculosis
promises to cut down the mortality
from that source. The adoption of
proper sanitary methods in big cities
has materially improved the health of
the crowded centers of population.
All this has the effect of lengthen-
ing life and there is every reason why,
as civilization advances, man consid-
cred in the aggregate should come to
live longer and longer. The average
life is undoubtedly being heightened
and if it is why should not the indi-
vidual age limit also be extended?

FIGHT IT OUT.

The people of Weston feel bitter
and discouraged over the treatment of
the Eastern oregon normal school.
They have abundance of reason for
feeling as they do. But the normal
schools are not dead, officially, and
where there's life there's hope. In
the past the Eastern Oregon normal
has had rough travelling but has con-
tinued to go forward. 1t may be that
the present trouble will not be fatal
If an initiative measure providing for
the maintenance of the school is pre-
sented before the people at the next
election the bill will likely be adopted.
There is a strong general sentiment
throughout the state that eastern
Oregon is entitled to an educational
institution. In view of this sentiment
1t should be worth while for the peo-
pie of Weston to make a final effort
to have the school sustained. Carry
the fight to the finish and if defeat is
to be the end of all the work in be-
half of the school then let it come
in the last ditch.

Bramley had a dog. 1t was a
good, gristly dog, with fond brown
eye and bay-window teeth. He was a
dog with a sense of humor, too. He
loved to sit upon his masters doorstep
and blink dreamily untn a stranger
passed his house. Then he would
leap up and bark in a manner which
suggested that the stranger was a
deep-dyed william.
Possibly" remarked passer-by
to Bramley, 'if I were to give that
ill-conditioned brute a sound kicking
he would stop soaring passers-by out
of their wits
81 dare say" drawled Bramley. "He
never barks with his mouth full of
meat"

JOBBING POSSIBILITIES.

The announcement that one of the
local implement houses is going to
do a wholesale business in certain
lines is interesting, 1t brings up the
subject of Pendleton's possibilities as
jobbing point. Is it not possible for
Pendleton, at this time, to do more
OF a jobbing business than it does
and will not the shake-up in freight
rates aid in the upbuilding of this
business?
Through the operations of the ter
minal rate system Portland has been
made the sole jobbing point for Ore
gon. Farm machinery manufacture
ed in the east is shipped through
eastern Oregon into Portland and is
then shipped back to the dealers and
consumers east of the Cascade noun
tains. Even if carload shipments are
dropped off in eastern Oregon towns
the dealers are subjected to the in
justice of paying the rate to Portland
plus the return local rate.
But in the Spokane rate case the
interstate commerce commission has
given a decision that promises to
materially alter the freight rate sit
uation and it may lead to the aboiti-
on of the terminal rate system
Should it do so there will be tre-
menduous shake-up in business. The
big coast cities will no longer be
able TO monopolize the jobbing busi-
ness of the west. Instead the busi-
ness will be distributed over the whole
country and any town so situated as
t. command big tributary territory
such as this city has, will have an
opportunity to develop jobbing busi-
ness.
Pendleton seems especially we'll sit
uated to become a wholesale imple-
ment town. 1t is the center of a vast
agricultural section. AS the interior
country. now without railroad con-
nections, becomes more closely de-
veloped Pendleton's field will be fur
ther enlarged. Then Pendleton is
very fortunate in the matter of rail-
road connections. 1t is the only east
ern Oregon point having connection
with both the Hill and Hartman
lines.
Under the new regime the eastern
manufacturers of farming machinery
may want to make this city dis
tributing point for eastern oregon and
a portion of eastern Washington. If
they do Pendleton should lend them
every encouragement.
1t is a time for people to keep their
eyes open. The shake-up that has
been started may open many oppor-
tunities to Pendleton and other small
inland cities. 1t will be well to keep
alive TO the situation so that these
opportunities may not be lost.

The, old negro looked sorely troubl-

his shoulder at the ripping lake, the
open cotton, the perfectly level fields.
Ransom had been born on Reveille

LENGTHENING LIFE.

Some scientists have a theory that
man should live longer than he does.
According to Metchnkoff, since it re-
quires 20 years for man TO get his
growth, he should by the nature of
things as traced by other animals, live
to an age equal to seveu times 20
years. or the ripe age 140.
It is easily possible that through
improper methods Of living and the
lack Of proper medical science man

High-Grade Gravel
In Manhattan Mines

the gravel were made would hold
fifteen pounds of gravel and every
panning at that particular point in
the drift gave values ranging from
.$125 to as high as 26 pennyweight
per pan. The gold is very coarse
and ranges from the size of a mus
tard seed to nuggets that weighed
16 pennyweights. At the time of
writing this the extent of this rich
deposit is not known, but even if
it is all taken out in a day it is
entirely satisfactory to the people
of Manhattan as it demonstrates
that there will be found pockets
and deposits which will make the
individual operator wealthy. This
is the best gravel SO far found in
the gulch and it brings the center
of high values about one mile nearer
the town.
The result of this discovery has
been to arouse local interest to a
pitch not heretofore attained and
already the story has brought in

TERRIFIC STORM
in Death VALLEY

For the first time in history so
far as anyone is able to learn, a
terrible storm has swept Death val
ley, leaving ruin and desolation in
it's wake.
Yesterday the news was received
in Tonopah of the severest storm
that has ever occurred in that re-
gion of utter desolation so far as
vegetation and the such are con-
cerned From what details could be
learned, prospectors were racing for
their lives to places of safety. Bur-
ros have been rendering the days
and nights hideous with their pitt
full walls and many have met death.
At this writing it is not known
whether or not any lives have been
lost, but it is generally supposed
that many met terrible fate in the
roaring floods that caused Furnace
creek to overflow it's banks. Resi-
dents along the banks of that here
tofore pacific stream have been rob
bed of their homes by the terrible
torrent and reduced to restitution
There are absolutely no means o
reaching them and those who hav
not already persisted have horribl
fate to face.
Railroad and telegraph commun1
cation has been completely cut OF
and the situation is terrible in tn
extreme. 1t is reported that snoy
slide has leveled the greater por
ton of the Funeral range. Snow
shoe Charlie. who has been carryin
the mails from Skull creek to Pie
Switch, has not been heard fror
and grave fears are entertained a
to his safety.
Another report is to the effeo
that the floods have swollen tn
Amargosa river to such an exten
that people are flocking from thei
homes which line it's banks in tel
: rible confusion. 1t Is also a RI
NOR that an excursion party fror

GLENDALE
IS Scene OF
ANOTHER STRIKE

,Zeb Kendall returned to Tonopah
yesterday from Glendale, where he
has been for several days past look
ing over the field in general and
making arrangements for starting
work on his lease which is located
in the vicinity of the original strike.
The well known mining man states
that Glendale is looking very good
at the present time, considering the
amount of development work which
has been accomplished.
According to Mr.. Kendall, the
Cliffords are devoting their entire
attention almost to the driving of
the tunnel which will tap the ledge
at over 100 feet of depth Mean
while, work on the vein is going on
to a more or less extent and sack
ing of high grade ore is still in pro-
gress. 1t is expected that a ship
ment will go forth any day now.
This shipment is looked upon as one
of the most valuable to be sent
forth from southern Nevada in many
years.
Glendale looks to me like a
winner" said Mr.. Kendall" there
is every indication that the camp
will make good in large numbers.
During my visit there a very good
strike was made on the Shorty
Cooper lease and it really looks like
big thing. This strike proves in
a way the continuity of the vein
system and will be the means of in
creasing interest and activity in the
district.
Taken as a whole, the district
has a truly wonderful surface show
ing and l for one can see no reason
a.. this time why it should not de-
velop into one of the best camps
that southern Nevada can boast of. ;
Mr.. Kendall expects to start op
erations on his lease within a very
short time He is not far from the
Cooper strike and feels confiden
that he will strike the pay shoot.
