THE ONLY COURSE.

There is but one way through which
Governor Chamberlain may be de-
feated for the senatorship. If the
"insurrectos" wish to defeat him they
will have to purchase outright enough
votes to prevent his election
There was a time when Senator Fu,-
ton and his crowd hoped to precipi-
tate a break in the ranks of state
ment men on the ground that the peo-
pie do not want anyone but a repub-
lican sent to the senate, They hoped
to start a popular Stampede"
But the past few months have
shown very conclusively that the peo-
pie of Oregon want Chamberlain for
Senator, though a democrat he be.
They want him for senator because
he has justly earned the office and
the legislators are sworn to give him
the office.
All hopes of defeating Governor
Chamberlain by a popular" move
went glimmering some time ago. Pres
ident Roosevelt's attitude upon the
subject had much TO do with this, al
though the people OF oregon were al
ready insisting that the legislators
keep their pledges.
So there is now but one course left
if the ants wish to continue their
flight. II is straight-out bribery. Will
this course now be adopted or will
the opponents of Governor Chamber
lain listen to the voice of caution and
quietly acquiesce in his election? Two
weeks from now the tale viii be told.

NEW BUSINESS WANTED.

Pendleton has done much in the
way of public improvement during the
past few years. For instance, the
streets have been paved, a new city
hall constructed. the schools strength
ened and the moral conditions within
the city vastly bettered.
Then other things are in store for
the immediate future, to-wit: The
federal building, a new depot, improv-
ed library, remodeled commercial
club, etc.
But while all of these things help
in upbuilding the town and they make
Pendleton a finer place in which to
live, they do not provide payrolls.
They bring but little new business to
the city.
And new business is what Pendle-
ton wants above everything else. This
city is as large as its present business
justifies. Pendleton has a business
section that would be creditable to
a city Of three times our size. Pen
dleton stores are already known as
being the most metropolitan in the
state outside Of Portland.
In order to further build up the
city's business interests, two things
are necessary-new industries within
the city, and a closer population for
the surrounding country Until these
things can be secured Pendleton
stands just where it is at present.
For some months past, local busi-
ness men have been seeking to get
the woolen mill into operation again
and thereby build up the city from
within. The climax in the movement
to retain the mill is now at hand.
Everything is favorable for the mill
and this evening a meeting will be
held to take up the matter Of raising
local money with which to finance
the business.
II local business men and property
owners do right they will be out in
force tonight and they will take the
$4,000 bond issue Immediately The
bonds offer a safe investment and
they will provide for an industry that
Pendleton must have if the city is to
90 forward.

POWER UPON THE FARM.

During the past year many power
sites in Umatilla county have been
filed upon, while the same thing has
occurred over on the John Day river.
People are now waiting with patience
for the development Of the latent en-
ergy that lies in these eastern Ore
gon streams.
When this power is developed it
will mean much to the towns Of this
county and likewise to the farms Of
the county. As time goes on electric
ity is brought into greater use in ru-
raj communities. In an article in
the Review Of Reviews Donald Cam
eron Shafer has the following to say
IN discussing the question Of electrical
power upon the farm:
The farms are crying for more
help. but greater still is the call from
the rural districts for more power!

Cycle Exports Decline.

The Bicycling World company Of
New York, speaking Of foreign trade,
says:
The expectation of bicycles and BIZ
cycle parts once cut considerable
figure in the business of the United
States During recent years 1t has
steadily declined. and there is every
indication that this year it will fall
below the million-dollar mark, de-
spite the fact that similar expectations
from Germany for the ten months OF
the current year have exceeded SILL
900 900, while those Of Great Britain
for a similar period approximately are
$4,000, 900. We were at one time at
the head Of cycle-importing nations
and while much Of the shrinkage is
due to natural conditions, the dis
crepancy between the value Of our ex-
ports and those Of the two countries
specified are so enormous that 1t sug-
gests that something should be done
to assist the industry.

Consul Walter c. Hamm, at Hull,

concerning a display of apples from
the state of Washington made in
London on November %, 1908. He
says that it is an illustration of what
can be done in shipments of Ameri-
can fruits from the Pacific coast to
Europe, and should encourage fruit
exporters in the same line:
