RICHARD WATSON GLIDER.

| Everybody knows that Mr.. Glider
| was a poet of inspiration and faith
full man of letters. true to the exact
ing ideals of that profession.
Many will remember his intimate
association with G. Holland and

ner's Monthly and its successor, the
Century Magazine.
But few would remember. without
reminder, a remarkable passage in
! the history of New York city in which
! Mr.. Glider made golden record
worthy of civic crown
Fourteen years ago New York was
startled one morning by the newspa-
per disclosure of the fact that the cor

PENDLETON's OPPORTUNITY

In the everbrightening prospect for
a traction system for Pendleton with
interurban lines running out from the
city there is grand hope. That this
hope will be realized now seems GER
tain and it is good news-the best
news that Pendleton has had for
many years.
1t is almost needless to dwell upon
the benefits that will accrue TO Pen.
dleton from the establishment Of such
a system as the Washington-Orego
company has in view. The efficacy
of such systems is well known.
Many northwest town have already
secured traction systems with inter-
urban connections and in each case
the result has been the same. The
communities affected have grown with
startling rapidly property values
both in town and country have ad-
vanced beyond all expectations. The
advent of traction system always
marks the beginning of new era.
For Pendleton the right kind of
traction system-and the Washington
Oregon company proposes just such
a system-should prove the towns
salvation Seemingly Pendleton has
advanced nearly as far as it can under
present conditions. Its immediate VI
cinity is devoted to wheat raising and
therefore the population is sparse. In
order to grow Pendleton must be able
to draw business from beyond its
present narrow confines. Then there
must be sufficient electrical power
available and at low price so that
manufacturing may be fostered.
The washington-Oregon company
proposes first to establish a street car
service for this city and to establish
a park-something that has long been
needed. Then it will extend an inter
urban line to the irrigated district in
the west end of the county. Such a
line will insure Pendleton its just
share Of the business Of that great dis
trict Later a line will be extended
towards Athena or Weston and rapid
transit communication established
with that country which is likewise
tributary to Pendleton. A line from
this city to Grant county will like
wise be built. though possibly by an
other company.
When such a traction system is es-
tablished our commercial supremacy
will be established for all time. This
is now the largest town between the
Cascade mountains and the Blues and
such It will remain.
But the new company's proposition
calls for much more than mere es-
tablishment of traction system. The
companv also offers TO furnish power
at rates that will not only make our
nresent manufacturing business more
nrofitable but will foster new indus
tries. At this time cheap power is the
one element lacking in Pendleton.
trnouestionably the household rates
ON electricity will be reduced and thus
,be price of living. now too high In
this city, will be lowered.
Al this time the negotiations be-
tween the traction company and local
,eonle await but the signing OF the
,ormal contract under which the
company will bind itself to DO the

rumbling through their hawser pipes.
Like an army of ants, drilled and
acclimated. they swarmed out upon
the land, the sappers clearing the way,
the carpenters DOMINIC their aprons
and grasping their tools while piles Of
lumber, kegs of bolts and nails, and
mountains of iron sheathing accumu-
lated upon the beach. And then, as
the ringing of a multitude of ham,
mers and the steady biting song of the
saws filed the air with sounds Of in
dustry, great cases Of machinery
swung up from the holds, floated dir
zily to the bulwarks, and went slowly
down to the lighters. A city Of tents
sprang up as by necremancy, with gut
tiers to carry off the rains, and sewers
to prevent disease. Camp surgeons
accustomed to sanitation superin-
tended these outposts, paying as much
attention to the spreading of mos

The sun went down, losing itself
among the keys and waters of the
farther west before a bugle gave a
quick imperative summons and the
toilers dropped their tools for the
evening meal. Many of the officers,
some of them grimy and stained with
work, their linen no longer immacu-
late, and their hair unkempt, came
aboard the gunboat for dinner. They
ate hurriedly like men In the field, and
one by one, with scant apology to
their fellow diners disappeared. Norma
was almost the last to leave the cabin
and appear on deck, which to her sur
prise was vacant. Even as she glanced
along its deserted length there came a
whistle from the shore.
Darkness had descended abruptly
and piled its blackness over the is
lands and the seas of the tropics. The
palm trees and shrubbery out to the
west were silhouetted against the last
faint light of day, and from the
swamps of the island came the
cries Of night fowl, the whir and
chirruping noise of insect life
and the monotonous croaking OF

Discoveries In the Air.

The growth of ballooning has lee
to many curious Investigations touch
ing the atmosphere and its inhab-
itants. BY the use of anchored bal
looms with self-registering instruments
some of the experiments of deep-sea
sounding have been repeated aloft.
At Strasburg sounding balloons have
been sent to height of nearly $4,000
yards. and 10000 yards to 10000 yards
is not an uncommon height. One OF
the astonishing things said to have re-
suited is the discovery at a height of
$4,000 yards Of an isothermal zone in
which. contrary to experience up to
that height, temperature does not di.

destination unknown.
A general order had been issued
and made public, that, inasmuch as
the poaching of Cuban fishermen on
American grounds round lower Flor
ida and the keys demanded attention,
the gunboat Penobscot had been de-
tailed to patrol those waters. In the
United States this attracted no atten-
ton; but the swarthy fishermen OF
the tropics took warning and no longer
steernd their smacks to the forbidden
waters, struggling their shoulders in
impotent wrath.
Rumor had it that the transport
was carrying mechanics and laborers
to the Philippines, where new dry
dock was to be constructed, and the
collier was generally supposed by
men of the waterfront to be laden with
materials for this work And So de-
spite the momentous significance of the
sailing of these three ships, the world
remained in ignorance, paid little
heed. or forgot.
Those voyagers who were in the
secret looked forward with eagerness
to the task before them, realizing to
the full that on them depended much.
And of these was Norma, who leaned
over the stern rail of the Penobscot

on her accompanying him. For how
