FOR MIR. SWARTZLANDER.

For Mr.. Swartzlander, the new agr
ent for the Umatilla reservation, there
has doubtless been an abundance of
good advice since his arrival in the
city. So the following may. seem trite
and commonplace. Nevertheless the
East Oregonian is going to offer a
word of advice to the new official. In
doing so this paper is prompted by
desire to see peace prevail upon the
reservation and harmony among the
Indians, the white renters and the
business men of this city.
Here is the East Oregonian's advice
to the new superintendent; tolerate
no grating on the part of either
white man or Indian and see that the
rules of the government are enforced
impartially against all whether white
or red, rich or poor.
In the past two things have caused
much trouble upon the reservation
favoritism by the agent with respects
to particular men who have gotten
close" to him and grating on the
part of Indian Interpreters. AS a re-
suit of the favoritism shown some
men have been able to hold much
reservation land while others less
fortunate have been held strictly
within the limit Because of the Chi
canery practiced by the Indian inter-
prefers renters have been practically
forced to resort to bribery in order
to hold their land.
But of all this crookedness the peo-
pie of this city and all honorable rem
ters are sick and tired. They want
an end put to jobbery. They want a
square deal for all and special favors
for no one. They want the Indians
to receive just rentals for their allot-
ments and they want to have the In
dians pay their debts.
1t is because local people believed
Major McFatridge was working for
these ends that they backed him up
when he was relieved from duty. They
will doubtless extend the same cordial
support to Superintendent Swartzlan-
der If he will but try earnestly and
courageously to do his duty.

Defensive ArTnOr.

AS a last resort young Gardner's
mother had shut him in dark closet
as a punishment for running away,
and the cure was certainly efficient
for time. But, alas, one day tempt
alton proved too great.
Upon his return his mother took
his hand and started for the stair
way.
Are you going to put me in that
dark placer" he cried shrilly.
you understood about that long
ago." answered the lady, going on
steadily.
But" cried the boy, demanding
her attention by his Mortified eyes in
which shone the grim determination
Of diplomat, aren't you going to
give me a lantern, nor hatchet, nor

THE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.

To the Knights of Pythias who are
now arriving for the grand lodge ses.
sion Pendleton extends a sincere and
cordial greeting. This spirit of well
come finds expression in the Pythiar
decorations about the city and also in
the warm hearty hand shakes with
which the visiting lodgemen are greet
ed by their Pendleton brothers and
friends.
The meeting of the grand lodge in
this city is especially appreciated
since it is known that the sessions
are seldom held in any city other than
Portland The fact that the grand
lodge has departed from its usual Gus
tom in order to visit Pendleton is a
compliment to this city. This COM
pliment Pendleton is endeavoring to
return by showing a loyal interest in
the order and by arranging for the
very best possible entertainment of
the visitors.
About gathering such as the
knights of Pythias grand lodge there
Is much that is inspiring. This or
der and the same is true of other
orders of kindred nature, has for its
main purpose the elevation, the better
ment Of mankind. The order does
not exist for any selfish purpose but
rather for the good that it can do the
world. In the grand lodge sessions
the representatives do not talk Of
personal business, of politics or other
ordinary topics of every day life. On
the contrary the hardheaded, practical
men who are assembled discuss such
problems as the advisability Of es-
tablishing a permanent home for
aged or INDECENT members Of the or
der and the best plans for caring for
sick or impoverished members. The
reports tell Of thousands of dollars
that have been spent in relieving hu-
man distress; Of orphans that are be-
ing cared for and educated; of dark
ened homes that have been brighten
ed by the star of fraternal love.
OF the beautiful story upon which
the order Of knights Of Pythias is
founded all have heard. 1t would be
needless to repeat 1t here. Yet the
examples set by those two heroes Of
old Syracuse, Damon and Pythias, is
being emulated in various ways all
over the world today. OF course the
modern Pythias does not find 1t nec-
essary to become hostage for his
friend while the latter goes to bid his
loved ones farewell. But he does find
other and more practical ways Of
showing friendship.
During the grand lodge session
which begins here tomorrow the key
note will be fraternity. Since they are
here for such worthy purpose the
Pythians should be treated as honor
ed guests while they are within the

GUARD THE TIMBER.

Some very practical and much
needed work is being done by the
Oregon conservation association tow
ards educating people in the care Of
the forests. At this time circulars
are being sent broadcast over the
state by the committee on forestry.
In these circulars attention is called
to the fact that the entire state is
interested in the timber industry. The
following facts from the circular will
be interesting:

A JOURNALIST HIMSELF.

There's a Pythian sort of friendship
that exists between the men
Who earn their breau ~ writing
for the press
Tis a syper-magic feeling that defles
the common pen--
Akin to Ancient Masonry, l guess
In the greenroom of the Temple OF
the Brotherhood VINO Write
In paths that lead to lasting fame
and pelf--
You may often hear the password as
Is rings upon the night;
II used to be n journalist myself"
'Tis a key that opens prisons and the
dungeons of the soul,
Those simple words that make the
two akin,
And the writer greets the stranger
and he leads him to the goal
Where friendship abounds and bids
him in;
Then across the shining table they re-
count the tales that stir
Unsparingly the host deals out his
pelf,
For he knows the guest is thirsty when
those golden words recur;
81 used to be a journalist myself"
All, the test of life is friendship
have found it ever so;
I've heard the mystic password in
the strife
l have taken the stranger and I've
seen the stranger 60
The very saddest moment of my life!
And my sorrow only freshens, if in
deed my sorrow can,
AS mysty-eyed, 1 see upon the shelf
All the 81 o. US" they left me-each
the relic of a man
Whe FUSED to be journalist him
self"

billion feet Of standing timber, even
now worth $475,OOO,OOO as a resource
If manufactured and sold, even al
present lumber prices, it will bring
So, 900. 10000 into the state for la
Dor and supplies.
oregon now sells $4,000, 900 worth
Of lumber a year. OF this $4,000
600 is received by employees who put
1t in local circulation.
In other words. you, whatever your
business, share it.
About a million feet is destroyed
by fire in oregon annually which If
manufactured, would bring in $1S,-
100000.
On every thousand feet burned, the
'stumpage owner may lose 80, but the
community loses IS in wages.
Timber means pay checks to sup
port all industries; but burned timber
pays no wages.
Timber pays taxes in your county;
if it burns up, your property has to
pay the difference.
From these facts it may be seen
that every citizen and especially every
property owner is personally interest
ed in the prevention of forest fires,
This interest should cause campers
and others who are in the mountains
during the summer to exercise the
greatest vigilance against fires.

Wet for Drv Town.

From the Charleston News and Courier.
Oklahoma is "dry" state. Sapulpa
is a town in Oklahoma. During the
nine and a half months ending the
first of last July the Frisco railroad
shipped to the 26 men holding fed
eral licenses in Sapulpa, in their own
names, 1877 barrels, 1874 cases and
217 boxes of whisky; 81 boxes, COS
cases and 245 barrels Of liquor" not
otherwise classified; and 1876 casks,
or % car loads Of beer. 1t has been
figured out by the Kansas City Month
ly Journal that at the prices obtain
ing in Sapulpa this would have gwen
the sellers net profit of $33,433 on
the whisky, $14,944 on the liquor and
S47,520 on the beer" 1t was claimed
that the prosecuting attorney of the
county had been negligent Of his duty,
and a motion was made to have him
removed from office. We do not
know what became of him. In sup
port OF his argument inst prohibition
was violated in Sapulpa, the lawyer
who appeared against the prosecuting
attorney called as witness the keep
err of one of the resorts in Sapulpa,
who admitted that he had sold at his
place 100000 worth of "wet" goods
since Oklahoma became prohibition
state, and that he usually had from
300 to 600 customers a day. This Is
interesting, but we do notssee that 1t
proves anything except that prohibit
ton does not prohibit, and that well
regulated traffic would be better than
free WHISKY.

SAFETY IN AERIAL TRAVEL.
Seemingly Less Risky Than in
Coaches on Some Railroads.

From the New York Press.
The advantage of the Zeppelin type Of
airship over the aeroplane. from the view
point of utility, is shown in the accident
to the German inventors vessel on its
way back home after a victorious fight
from Fredrichshafen to Berlin. broken
propeller tore a big hole in the hull, yet
the navigator was able to descend in
safety TO make repairs; and the crew
was in less danger than an Atlantic liner
would have been from "a hole smashed in
her side.
Zeppelins craft is built on the same
principle as ship of the sea- With
seventeen gas apartments damage to
three of these, when punctured as they
were, does not pitch the vessel to the
earth. There would have been no neces-
sity for the descent except for the loss
of the propeller. The same kind of acct
dent to a Mauretania would have left her
at the mercy of the storm, even if she
could have been kept ahoat by her water
tight compartments. In time it is not
Unlikely that invention will provide for
quicker repairs of injured aircraft than
is possible with their cousins of the ocean,
and these may even be made aloft While
tile Zeppelins drift the way they are
headed. Anything like similar damage .

AS compared with the racing motor

junk when the smallest bit of mechanis n
goes wrong. travel in a dirigible balloon
is security itself and would seem to be
safer than taking chance in wooden
railroad coaches on a route which has no
block signals. behind an engineer who has
been at the throttle for eighteen hours.
