STORY OF TOLSTOI.

The following auecdote is told in
Moscow Of Count Tolstoi, in which
there is a strong probability Of truth;
One day countryman having
kindling wood for sale called at the
residence OF the Count in Chamow-
ski and observing an old man in pea
SAINT costume in the wood-shed saw
ing and chopping wood, he called to
him familiarly with the question:
Hello. grandpa, say, does the
Count need any fire wood?"
Il do not know" replied the old
man in gentle tone, go up to the
house and ask
The man went and was met at the
vestibule by a liveried lackey who
asked his errand.
Il come to ask-er-if-er-the
Count-perhaps-needs fire wood?"
stammered the peasant, making a
profoun& obeisance before the i'm
posing parsonage.
Il don't know" answered the lack
ey. "you must ask the Count
where shall I find the Count?"
He is out in the woodshed saw
ing wood" was the answer.
Silently saking his head the peas
ant withdrew, casting a warm and
suspicious glance into the woodshed
in passing Reaching the street he
drew his waiting comrade cautiously
away from the gates, saying:
Il say, Hansl, there is something
wrong here. the folks all seem to be
crazy; we'd better get away from such
people in quick time or we're likely
to lose our money"

There is indeed a sharp contract
between the attitudes of the Oregon
and Washington legislatures with re-
spects TO appropriations.
when the coming extra session in
Oregon shall have remedied the ap-
proprlation bill for the asylum and
other improvements, the total that
will be collected as a result of APP
preparations will not exceed $780,
0O0," says the Oregon Journal. "The
Washington legislature is in the act
of appropriating nearly three times as
much. 1t has already passed bills
carrying s2,365,3s0. The omnibus
bill has passed the house and enter
ed the senate, appropriating s5.sS9,-
3O2 more. Its ultimate passage in
its present form is regarded as GER
tain. The aggregate of it and bills
already passed is sS,304,5f1. In ad-
dition there have passed one or the
other Of the two house bills that if fl
nally adopted will bring the grand to-
tai above sS,5OO,O0O. 1t IS a tota,
beside which the Oregon appropria-
tions dwindle almost into insignifi-
canoe. 1t exceeds the latter by more
than s5,O00,OO0. 1t is almost as much
as Oregon has appropriated in the
past six years, or in three biennial
legislative sessions"
To many this comparison may seem
entirely pleasing, for it is generally
accepted that economy is virtue
But il is not always such. In a new
and growing state like Oregon the de-
velopment is largely in proportion to
the efforts put forth by the people
and the money expended by the state.
BY spending money upon highways,
experiment stations, schools, etc, the
legislature may do much 10 1or"aru
the states development.
If anything, the oregon legislature
acted too niggardly rather than toe
generously in the matter Of appropria-
tlons. This was certainly true with
respect to the normal schools. The
state can easily afford to support
three normals and support them
properly. When the legislature re-
fused to provide money for them this
year It placed this state in the light
Of going backwards rather than for
ward. Compared with Washington
Oregon is now in an unenviable po-
sitlon because Washington has been
generous towards its schools.

DEMAND FAIR TREATMENT.

"Pendleton is not treated fairly in
the matter Of freight rates" said a
well-known newspaper man Of this
county who chanced TO be here yes
terday. In support Of this statement
he said walIa walla people in seek
ing trade put forth the argument thai
they have terminal rates upon some
commodities and that they also have
a favorable distributing rate. On the
strength Of this the Garden City mer-
chants are seeking business in terri
tory that Justly belongs to Pendleton.
Another instance Of rate injustice
Is found In the rate on wool PEN
dleton is the big wool center Of east
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-03-12

ern Oregon. II shipped six millions o
pounds of wool last year. 1t has botl
securing mill and a wooden mil
and these industries it has had fol
many years Yet it costs more tC
ship wool east from Pendleton thar
il does from Echo and other point:
westward. This is wholly unjust tc
Pendleton.
It is the duty of local people to see
that this city receives fair treatment
from the transportation companies,
Pendleton is certainly entitled 10 any
thing walla Walla may have in the
way Of a special distributing rate. Lo-
cal business men should take the mat
ter up through the Commercial asso-
ciation, or in some other manner, and
see that we receive the same treat
ment as does the Washington town.
At this time comparatively little
jobbing business IS done either by
Pendleton or by Walla Walla. But
the future will doubtless see a con-
siderable If not a vast increase in this
business. This being the case, Pen
dleton people should look carefully
into the matter of freight rates nd
see that this town receives fair treat
ment.

Sanguinc and Waiting.

"How's times?" inquired the tour

"Oh, pretty tolerable," responded
the old native who was sitting on a

saved me the trouble"
Fine"

to the brush pile and saved me the

"Oh, nothin' much. Jest waitin' for

THE GLIDING STAR.

There is a sea-a quiet sea,
Beyond the farthest line,
Where all my ships that went as
tray,
Where all my dreams Of yesterday,
And all the things that were to be
Are mine!
There is a land-a quiet land,
Beyond the setting sun,
Where every task in which quail
ed,
And all wherein my courage failed,
Where all the good my spirit planned
Is done!
There is hope-a quiet hope,
Within my heart instllled,
That If, undaunted, on I sail,
This gliding star shall my labors
scope,
Fulfilled!
And there's a tide-a quiet tide,
Flowing toward the goal
That sweeps by every human shore,
And on the final swell shall ride
And at its fullest ebbs no more;
Ny soul!
