ONCE IN A WHILE.

Once in a while the sun shines out.
And the arching skies are a perfect
blue;
Once in a while mid clouds of doubt,
Hopes brightest stars come peeping
through,
Our path leads down by the meadows
fair,
Where the sweetest blossoms nod
and smile,
And We lay aside our cross of care,
Once in a while.
Once in a while within our own
We clasp the hand of a steadfast
friend
Once in while we hear a tone
of love with the hearts own voice
TO blend
And the dearest of all our dreams
come true.
And on life's way is golden
mile;
Each thirsting flower is kissed with
dew
Once in a while.
Once in while in the desert sand
We find a spot OF the falrest green;
Oncejn a while from where We stand
The hills of paradise are seen;
And a perfect joy in our hearts we
hold,
A joy that the world can not defile;
We trade earth's dross for the purest
gold
Once in a while.
Nixon Waterman.

more thickly populated. The farm
ing sections of this county, as we'll as
of other portions of eastern Oregon.
will support many times the number
of people living upon the land. This
closer settlement may be hastened by
proper work on the part of those who
are interested in building up the
county. The adoption of better farm
ing methods and the raising of such
crops as alfalfa along with the wheat
will make the land of the county
more valuable and will tend TO break
up the big ranches Out of considera-
ton for the public good if for no 9TH
er reason progressive farmers should
do what they can to help out this
movement,
Then there are thousands of acres
of land in this portion of the county
and in other sections too that may
yet be brought under irrigation. At
this time the east end and the west
end constitute the irrigation sections
of this county. But the central part
of the county also may be watered
The water that is now making the
west end bloom all flows through this
portion of the county. Much of the
water is yet unappropriated and may
be made use of through the estab-
lishment of reservoirs.
Towns are built up by work both
within and outside the municipal lin
its. 1t is wrong to say that more
people are not needed in Pendleton
now More people are needed and
more industries are needed. So are
parks and other local improvements
needed. But it cannot be denied that
Pendleton and the other towns of this
section may work most effectively for
their own advancement by encourag-
ing the close settlement of the coun-
try.

THE NEARBY PRESS.
WHY 1T FAILED.
(Weston Leader.)


The Pendleton Tribune has again
suspended as a daily paper, and will
be published twice week under its
present management. Many times
the Daily Tribune has been buried
and resurrected, and it has always
required backing" other than its
own resources in order to survive. 1t
has been less a newspaper than a per-
sonal and political organ, and its edi-
torial opinions have depended upon
the views of its hackers; while its op-
ponent in the same field was never
thus hampered, and thrives upon the
legitimate business built up through
years of courageous effort. The East
Oregonian will continue to be the
leading daily in this part of the state,
while the Tribune will only reappear
and flourish again, if at ALL during
the temporary harvest of a campaign
1t has a good, legitimate field as a
twice-a-week, however, and the Lead
er wishes its present publishers every
success in their sensible new depar-
ture.

what is the use Of trying to bring
more people into Pendleton. There
are as many people here now as the

should try to bring about a closer set

If this can be done then there will
be more business for the town and
new people will come Of their own ac-

business man a few days ago. There

THE EMMANUEL MOVEMENT.

The following is from an article by
Lyman P. Powell in the last issue OF
the American Review of Reviews:
In the development of great religi-
oCs movements achievement has usu-
ally preceded definition, classified
tion, and terminology. Luther crossed
swords with Eek before he could fore
see the Protestant Reformation, Jono-
than Edwards heralded the Great
Awakening before ever he left North
ampton to write elsewhere the classic
OF predestination. And Moody brought
two countries to their knees in godly
penitence years before William James
and Starbuck, Coe and George Jack
son supplied modern evangelism with
the watchwords of the new psyche
lcgy.
The Emmanuel movement has re-
versed an age-long process. Not three
years old, it is already clearly defined
in the public mind. 1t has already
found its proper place somewhere in
that hazy middle ground which re-
ligion and medicine are inevitably
forced to share between them. 1t is
adequately furnished with a psyche
logical terminology as scientific as
either religion or medicine.
There are, to be sure, problems of
adjustment and of adaptation still to
be worked out in order to meet the
varying conditions of one locality or
another. But no well-informed and
unbiased student Of the Emmanuel
movement is in any doubt as to the
position this work is in general to oc-
cupy among the agencies fast multi
plying in these days to make religion
more practical and medicine more
useful and to bring about that team
work" between the minister and doc
tor which DR.. Cabot is habitually
emphasizing in connection with this
subject.

UNPOISED LIVES.

The life of the criminal is simply
an IMPOSED life. II a person were
perfectly poised, wrongdoing would
be so repugnant that it would be un-
thinkable.
1t is the one-sded. the unpoised
mind that goes wrong. 1t is just as
normal for the balanced mind to
choose the right. the good, as for the
magnet to draw to itself whatever is
kindred.
Just as the needle in the mariners
compass always points to the north
star. no matter how thick the fog nor
how the tempest RACES there is a
needle within every human being
which always points to the north star
of rectitude, of right Of truth, no
matter What storms OF dlscord. Of
weakness, or of crime may be raging
in the individual mind, Nothing can
prevent this little indicator from
pointing to the right, no matter how
far the individual may drift from it,
how low he may sink in vicious llv-
ing.-Success Magazine.

WANT THE DRY FARM.
CHeppner Gazette.) J

S. E. Notson went to Corvallis last
Saturday to be present at the meet
ing of the board of regents of the
Agricultural college, at which meeting
it was expected that the location of
the Eastern Oregon experimental
farm would be determined. He re-
turned yesterday and reported that
the matter was not acted upon as the
report of the experts was not COM
plete, but the outlook for the location
of the farm in Morrow county is very
good. The matter depends almost
wholly upon the recommendation of
the experts. The matter will be set
tied at the May meeting of the board.

WELCOME THE STRANGER.
(Elgin Record.)


Give the stranger the glad hand
when he comes to town. To pass him
on the street without salutation and
treat him like he was inhuman Will
drive away all the strangers and
homeseekers that our publicity work
brings here When a homeseeker
leaves his home in the east and comes
to Oregon he not only wants to find
good land at reasonable figures, but
he wants to locate among people who
are sociable and agreeable. Let the
stranger come to town and meet peo-
pie who give him cordial welcome
and show an interest in him and he
will at once become favorably i'm
pressed. Make it point to become
acquainted with the stranger.

A HIGH CALLING.

In view of the general tendency to
'criticise the daily press and to class
II as an instrument of evil rather than
for good, it is refreshing to read the
address of the Right Rev. Charles
Scadding, bishop Of Oregon, delivered
at Spokane last week.
In the course of his address, which
was upon the subject, "The Secular
Press as a Missionary Agency" the
bishop said:
"The successful secular newspaper
of today may not be above criticism
from moral or religious standpoint;
but it cannot be denied that it stands
close, very close to the people. No
merchant studies the community in
which he seeks patronage more close
ly than does the newspaper publish
er. There is no business requiring
greater tact on a greater scale, nor is
there anywhere mistake in judg-
ment attended with consequences
more disastrous to the blunderer.
'"In the broadest sense we are
working with the newspapers in d
common cause, and they are doing
their part nobly. Some of them are
fighting for a higher standard of pol
itics. the abolition of gambling and
other vices, the betterment of mems
morals and the closer brotherhood of
man If they stop here and leave US
to continue the work of bringing men
still closer to God, we must admit
that they are are guiding their readers
in the right direction, and we, If we
are not extremists, will recognize the
fact that they are our valuable allies"
This is a compliment, indeed, for
the press and that it is justified most
well informed people will admit. In
spite of all its shortcomings the gen.
eral influence Of the press is for
good. Aside from publishing the news
a real newspaper does what it can to
advance the welfare of the people
within its field. 1t stands for prog
ress in every department of human
endeavor and this includes the ele-
vation OF political and commercial
life and the general betterment of
moral conditions everywhere. The
press is far and away the greatest foe
Of the wrongdoer, for there is Moth
ing the criminal breads more than he
does publicity.
In fact, the newspaper profession
is high calling, and while there are
some who may scoff at Bishop Scad-
ding's statement the press de-
serves to be classed as an ally Of those
who are openly doing the work OF the
Lord.

(Pilot Rock Record.)
Despite the seven hundred majority
that was polled in favor of local op-
ton in this county the effort made
by the anti-saloon forces TO enforce
the law is characterized by Pendle-
ton paper as a "Fiasco." No better
word could be employed in express
ing the outcome of the work accom-
plished by those whose duty 1t is to
enforce the law. The securing OF
sufficient evidence to insure convic-
ton is a most difficult matter, made
all the more difficult because of the
activity of the majority in seeing that
the law shall not be enforced while
the majority feel they did their full
duty when they cast their ballots at
the polls.
