A NEW YEARS GIFT.

Pendleton has received a fine little
New Years gift in the form of news
to the effect that the site for the
federal building has at last been Sc
lected.
After many months of delay the
government has at last decided to
erect its building at the corner OF
Alta and Garden streets. Doubtless
this site was selected because it is
close to the heart of the town; be-
cause it is within the proper distance
OF the depot and because Alta street
has deep sewer.
But whatever may have led to the
selection of the Alta-Garden street
street site it has been chosen. The
building will go there and the people
o, the town are glad that at last
there is some hope for the immediate
construction of the building.
Pendleton needs its federal build
ing badly. The postoffice at present
has inadequate quarters. They are
inconvenient for the public and high
IL unsatisfactory to the postal en-
ployes.
Since money has been appropriated
for the Pendleton building and a site
has been chosen, surely construction
work will not be long delayed. Let
it be hoped the treasury department
will not tarry too long.
Next New Years Pendleton peo-
pie will be using the new postoffice
fc, mailing and receiving New Years
cards and a handsome structure at
the corner of Garden and Alta streets
will add to the beauty of the city

THE NEW SPIRIT.

"Umatilla county is coming to life;
there is something stirring every
where; l can feel 1t and see it every
day." declared one Of the gentlemen
who was here for the legislative COM
rl.ttee's banquet the other night.
This man was right. Umatilla
county is awakening. Portions of the
county that have been dormant until
this time are now feeling the thrill
OF life. Nor is all the activity con-
fired to the irrigation sections of the
west end and to the Mflton-Free-
water country.
There is much doing right here in
Pendleton. The people of this town
are now re-establishing the woolen
mill and they are going to make it an
Industry that will count. The town
has Just made arrangements for con-
verting the public library into an in
stitution that in the course of time
will have few equals in towns Of this
size.
Then the Commercial club is being
rejuvenated. Within a few months
local business men will no longer be
ashamed Of its quarters. The city
hall has just been completed; A fed
eral building is now at hand and so
is a new depot. Pendleton has lots
OF building under way at this time
and there will be much for the COM
ing year.
Among the wheatgrowers also the
conviction Is gaining strength that
possibly they are doing wrong in de-
voting all their time to grain grow
ing. Many are showing a lively in
terest in the campaign for more in
tensifled farming and this is the first
step towards the adoption Of better
methods.
Because Of these things there Is
much room for congratulation. Pen
dleton and Umatllla county are
starting upon the new year with a
different spirit from what prevailed
year ago. It is the spirit Of pro-
gress and 1t means the growth and
development Of the county; Of Pen
dleton and Of all the other towns
within the county.

THE HAUNTED PALACE.

IT, the greenest of our valleys
By good angels tenanted,
Once a fair and stately palace
Radiant palace-reared its head.
IN the monarch Thoughts dominion,
1t stood there:
Never seraph spread a plnion
Over fabric half so fair.
Banners yellow. glorious, golden.
On its roof did float and flow
(This-all this-was in the olden
Time long ago),
And every gentle air that dallies.
In that sweet day
Along the ramparts plumed and pallid
A winged odor went away.
Wanderers in that happy valley
Through two luminous windows saw
Spirits moving musically.
To a lute's well-tuned law.
Round about throwne where. sit
ting,
Porphyrogene.
lr state his glory well befitting,
The ruler of the realm was seen.
And all with pearl and ruby glowing
Was the fair palace door,
Through which came flowing. flow
ing, flowing.
And sparkling evermore,
A troop of Echoes, whose sweet duty
Was but to sing,
In voices of surprising beauty.
The wit and wisdom of their king.
But evil things, in robes of sorrow,
Assailed the monarch's high estate:
(Ah. let us mourn. for never morrow
Shall down upon him desolateD
And round about his home the glory
That blushed and bloomeo,
Is but a aforementioned story
OF the old time entombed.
And travellers now within that valley
Through the red-litten windows see
Vast forms that move fantatiscally
To a discordant melody;
While, like a ghastly rapid river,
Through the pale door
A hideous throng rush out forever,
And laugh-but smile no more.
Edgar Allan Poe.

cause In the early days the Wild cay
uses preferred to Craze along Its
banks. 1t would be better to keep
the name than to give 1t up for
Gwendolen canyon or any other fancy
cognomen.
Whiskey creek is alright too; so Is
the Snake and Desolation. They all
mean something. Sand Hollow is not
bad, neither is Juniper Flat. Alkalai
canyon, OF course. is not good from
real estate standpoint. 1t had bet
ter be changed. But do not call it
Eden vale or anything of that sort.
There is much that the recently
appointed geographic board can do
with much propriety. But there is
also much that should not be at
tempted. Let it be hoped the board
will act wisely and will not seek to
bot out too many sacred frontier
memories. If they do the shades OF
departed border tanners may get to-
sether and resolute that they had the
preference right in the matter Of
naming this country and that their
work should not be changed by men
who travel in steam cars and who so

CAUTION.

Here is a suggestion to those who
have been selected to provide new
names for mountains, streams and
localities in Oregon: Go slow.
There are many places that need
new names. Grayback mountain
needs another title. SO does Skunk
Hollow.
But there are many names that are
far from being euphoneous that are
still very appropriate. They are
names that were started in early days
and are typical Of the life in eastern
Oregon at that time. It would be
better to retain these names than TO
substitute for them high flown terms
that have no significance.
Wild Horse is alright. 1t is very
complimentary term. 1t was prob
ably given to the little stream be-

Hard Hearted.

A Chicago man who once permitted
himself to be persuaded to back a
theatrical company was seated in his
office one day when he received
telegram from the manager of the
show. The troupe was somewhere in
Missouri, and the telegram read thus:
Train wrecked this morning and
all scenery and baggage destroyed. No
member of company injured. What
shall I do?"
The answer sent back by the Chi
cago man was as follows:
TRY another wreck and have the
company ride in the baggage car

All those Patrons who availed them
selves of the Worthy Lecturers invita-
tion to meet at her house last Thursday,
were amply repaid. a picnic dinner,
after the regular Grange style, was SER
we'd at noon. In the afternoon the Worthy
Lecturer called the meeting to order

that she was glad they were there. Mrs.
Clayton Story had most excellent
paper, Mrs. Eliza Strong and Rev. Mr..
Best made very appropriate remarks.
Mrs. Arthur Hollis had recitation, Mrs.
Nettie Smith had song, and the choir
sang several Grange songs. The hour
for home-going came all too quickly, but
the pleasures of the day will be long re-
membered. On Saturday evening, Get.
