MORE ABOUT POWER.

The East Oregonian has previously
pointed out the great Importance OF
electrical power in the upbuilding OF
a city. 1t is an Indispensable element.
Without adequate power Pendleton
cannot we'll become much more than
it is at present. big country town.
With plenty of electrical power this
may be made into a manufacturing
center for we already have the other
essentials.
With a sufficient amount Of power
Pendleton may also be provided with
traction facilities that will insure the
supremacy Of this place as the COM
merciaI hub of eastern oregon. With
traction lines into the irrigated seq
teens to the west; to Grant county on
the south and to the rich section
northeast of Pendleton the business of
a great region Will be insured for
Pendleton and the future growth OF
this city made certain.
If Pendleton can secure the power
the Washington Oregon company pro-
poses to develop upon the Walla Wal
la river this city will then be very
favorably situated with respects tc
power. With that power and with the
power that may be developed upor
the John Day river and upon the Una.
tiIla this city will be given something
like $1,000 or 10000 horse power
That is said to be more electrica
power than is now used in the cit!
Of Portland.
Naturally the power most desired
OF this time is that which is to be de-
veloped upon the Walla Walla river
That power is especially desirable be
cause if we do not get it it will g
elsewhere. It will be taken into th'
state Of Washington and utilized. OF
the other hand the power of the Una
tilla and of the John Day will keep,
te mporarily at least. Those stream
are naturally tributary to Pendletol
and can be developed when needed.

GREETING.

say not good night, but in some
brighter cline
Bid me good morning.
You who so loved to watch the chang
ing sky
To follow the soft curves where
beauty led,
You scarcely dared to claim the grace
to die,
You went your way not all un-
comforted.
For through the dark the winged
vision came,
Shifting the fine, tense harpstrings
of your soul
One weary night upon singing
You passed beyond each petty cares
control.
You did the things you did not like
Made day by day the thankless
sacrifice,
And so, dear heart, I love to think
of you
Deep bosomed in your Eestful para
disc.
Watching clear spaces of the hours
drift by
To vibrant measures of some new
delight
And yet we pitied you that you must
die
And leave. your urgent day, your
broken night.
Ada Foster Murray.

SAINTS.

Who were the saints? \ startling.
an audacious, once almost a punish
able, question; but when asked of the
laity TO day. it is likely to be answer
ed with a Multiplying smile or a
frank adm. .ss.on of ignorance. Yet
happily, the words "saintliness" and
sanity" can never be dispensed with
in our common daily language And
who were the saints?
They were men and women Of flesh
and blood, who. without celestial au-
ra and crown, once trod this dusty
earth like ourselves. They were real
people, living real lives, with real re-
suits If We allow ourselves to be led
back by the hand of history, sacred
or secular. whichever We prefer. to
examine the work accomplished by
these men and women-now called
saints-we shall be surprised. In our
age, so worshipful of the material and
the visible, we shall respectfully rec
ogniZe their usefulness and their joy
Gus activity in every sphere of life.
Even in earthly affairs, they created
and bequeathed to us the best that
we have and know.
1t was not the Church that made

BALLINGER'S REPORT.

The position Of secretary Of the in
terror is one Of tremendous import
ance and responsibility. This is es-
pecially true just at this time and
with respects to the west. Accord
ingly the report Of Secretary Ballinger,
part Of which was published in this
paper yesterday makes a document Of
decided interest. Especially is that a
fact since it is claimed the president
IL back OF at least some of the sug-
gestions made by the secretary.
The suggestion for a bond issue to
raise money with which to complete
existing irrigation projects seems
proper. However oregon would be
very well satisfied could it but have
its regular apportionment from the
reclamation fund. We would then
have several millions available for fur
ther work and that might be suffici-
ent to answer present needs. In this

the saints, hut the saints, in a very
real sense. who made the Church.
During the first centuries, after Christ
and His apostles had vanished from
earth. it was individual men and wo-
men. living in deserts, in cells ant
caves that guarded the new revela-
ton. 1t was they who kept the spir-
itual lamp burning upheld the new
standards of life and blazed the way
for modern civilization,
Christianity has always been the
religion of the individual. and its
power from the very beginning lay
in its appeal to personality. 1t was
individuals who first warmed hearts
into Christian fervor And so the
church, like all corporate bodies, was
gradually formed by these separate
PARTICLES coming together.-From
THE Saints" by Eleonora Kinnicutt

ner

MURPHY Is NEEDED.

At this time it is absolutely essen
tial to the welfare of Pendleton that
this city select as mayor a man who
is surrounded by and influenced by
men of the progressive type. Fur
thermore the man who is chosen as
mayor should be a known quantity"
In other words the people should
know exactly where he stands with
reference to such civic improvements
as the betterment Of TIE water sys-
TEN and how he stands with refer
ence to the entrance into this city of
new electrical companies and traction
companies. This is a critical time In
the history of this little city and peo-
pie cannot afford to act in the dark.
It would be rank folly to do so.
How Mayor Murphy stands upon
these things is we'll known. Not only
from temperament but from personal
interest he is a progressive" He Is
an active local business man and ne
has considerable property interests.
He wants to see Pendleton grow and
prosper and is willing to do his part
t. make it grow and prosper. He Is
aligned with no interests that will in
terfere with his duty to the public.
This has been shown on more than
one occasion. It was shown over a
year ago when he and the council
granted a franchise to the Washing
ton Oregon traction company Had
ne taken advice from certain quarters
that franchise would have been re-
fused and Pendleton would now not
have the enviable prospect Of having
a traction system established with this
city as the base and chief beneficiary
from that system.
AS to Mayor Murphy's opponent in
the race this paper desires to say but
little except that it does not like the
influence by which he is surrounded
His principal hackers are men who re.
present corporations that have inter
ests in conflict with the present in.
terests Of this city. That lineup 4
well known. In the event of DR.
Swinburne's election that influence
might be used with serious results Il
Pendleton. Be that as it may thi
city cannot afford to take chances
There is no need Of taking chances.
Re-elect Mayor Murphy and max
sure that you have the mayors chai
filled by one who stands for the pro
gress of Pendleton.

section at present people are not so
much interested in changes in the
reclamation act or in bond issues as
they are in getting the government to
extend the Umatilla project by the ex-
penditure of money already due this
state
One of the most important parts
Of Secretary BalHnger's report is that
wherein he recommends governmental
control of water powers. Here the
hand of President TAFT seems clearly
visible. 1t is recommended that the
general government retain the land
adjoining power sites; that easements
be granted corporations desiring TO
develop power; that 80 years be tho
maximum time for which such privi-
leges may be granted; that the con-
struction work must be carried on
within a specified time and that the
corporation or individual doing the
work must pay a moderate charge to
the government or upon the gross
earnings during the first 10 years of
operation, adjusted at each subse'
qrent 10 year period and equitably
determined by appraisement."
That the government should have
some such hold as this upon the
water powers all economists will
agree. The government was slothfu
ia no; taking such action many years
ago. The natural resources Of the
country should be utilized for th'
benefit of all the people. They should
not be monopolized by few.
It will be interesting to watch wha
congress will do towards enactin!
proper legislation upon this subject
During the coming session Presiden
Taft will have a splendid opportunit,
to use his influence with the law
makers.
