HEARKEN TO THE CALL.

Cities are built where men build
them. They do not grow spontane-
.ously There are places which at the
start seem to have appeared by mag
lie Yet Investigation will reveal tina,
back of those town have been men
of force and energy. The towns have
not grown by accident.
When town possesses natural ad-
vantages the work OF those who are
building it up is necessarily made
easier, Yet the human element in
town building is of vast Importance.
Without the right sort of work on the
part Of the right sort of men no town
can so forward as it should
Pendleton has its fun share of nat
ural advantages, This place has been
more blessed by nature than has its
rival Walla Walla. This city has rar
better transportation facilities than
has Walla Walla; it has more avail
able power and it has a much greater
tributary country. True at this time
.Pendleton's great territory is largely
.undeveloped. On the other hand the
immediate vicinity of Walla Walla is
closely peopled. That gives Walla
Walla the advantage of size at this
time. But in the future the tale will
be different. Walla Walla is now eat
ing its cake. Pendleton has not yet
opened its lunch basket of resources.
What the people of Pendleton need
to do at this time is to wake up to the
situation; get into the harness and
work for the advancement of this
city If they will but do this they can
make Pendleton a city of which they
will be proud.
The time for pessimism and petty
local pickering is past. Now is the
time to wake up and get busy in be-
half of this city. The call has been
sounded and those who like this town
and want to see it go forward must
respond with eagerness and zeal
There is no longer room in Pendletor
for men who want to mourn and wall
Iard block the wheels of progress. The
call is for men of patriotism. courage
ard determination. Hearken to thai
| call.

TEDDY AND THE RHINO.

The huge beast was standing in en-
tirely open country, although there
We're a few scattered trees of no great
size at some little distance from him.
We left our horses in a dip of the
ground and began the approach;
cannot say that We stalked HIM. for
the approach was too easy. The wind
blew from him to us, and a rhino's
eyesight is dull Thirty yards from
where he stood was a bush four or
five feet high. and though il was so
thin that we could distinctly see him
through the leaves. it shielded us from
the vision of his small piglike eyes
as we advanced toward it, STOPPING
and in single file, I leading. The big
beast stood like an uncouth statue, his
hide black in the sunlight; he seemed
what he was, a monster surviving over
from the worlds past, from the days
when the beasts of the prime ran riot
in their strength, before man grew so
cunning of brain and hand as to mas
ter them. SO little did he dream of
our presence that when We were a
hundred yards off he actually lay
down
Walking lightly, and with every
sense keyed up, we at last reached the
bush, and I pushed forward the safe
ty of the double~barrelled Holland
rifle which I was now to use for the
first time on big game. AS I stepped
to one side of the bush so as to get
good clear aim, with Slater follow
ing, the rhino saw me and jumped to
his feet with the agility of polo
pony. AS he rose I put in the right
barrel, the bullet going through both
| lungs. At the same moment he whel-
| ed. the blood spouting from his nos
trils. and galloped full on us. Before
he could get quite all the way round

and shoulder and piercing his heart

THERE Is DANGER.

Singularly as it may seem there is
danger that Mayor Murphy may be
defeated for reelection. True the
best interests of the city demand his
reelection and it is the general opin,
ion that he viii be elected by a large
majority Three out of every four
men one meets declare they are ror
him.
But in this very confidence there Is
danger. Mayor Murphy's friends are
too confident and they are underestl-
mating the strength Of the forces back
Of his opponent. Against Mayor Muir
ply much. silent yet earnest work is
being done. There are powerful in
terests that want to bring about his
defeat. They are working hard against
him and they will keep it up until
election day. However they are do
ing this quietly. They would like to
lull the forces of Mayor Murphy to
! the sleep of overconfidence and then
| by stealing a march" elect DR.. Swim
burne while the people are not look
ing.
There is but one way to make the
mayorality safe. Every man must
get out and vote and he must see that
his friends and neighbors vote. But a
small fraction of the local vote Is
Registered and the others must be
sworn in on election day. If this is
not done and if too many people fail
to vote through indifference or be-
cause they feel Murphy will be elected
anyway the corporations will win out

FOR THE RIGHT TO GROW.

Two of Pendleton's greatest needs !
at this time are an improved water
supply and sufficient electrical power
to provide for traction lines in and
out of this city and to promote man
ufacturing within the city. Both of
these things Pendleton must have if
it is to grow and prosper> Unless they
are provided Pendleton is doomed TO
remain practically as it is at present.
With an adequate water supply ana
with plenty of electrical power this
city will be in a position to grow, for
it will then have two of the essentials
for municipal growth.
This being the case does it not be-
hoove the people of Pendleton TO
elect a mayor whom they can trust
to stand by their interests and to do
everything within his power to bring
about these improvements? The
East Oregonian believes it does and
this paper strongly advises the re-
election of Mayor Murphy. 1t does
this because the record of Mayor Muir
ply shows that he stands first of all
for the material advancement of this
city. He does this because he is
loyal resident of this city and be-
cause being a local business man and
property owner it is to his own per-
sonal interest to work for the upbufld-
ing of this place.
On the other hand Mayor Murphy's
opponent in the mayorality race is
man who has no direct interest in this
city's welfare. He came but recently
from another town and the tax rolls
show that even his residence property
is held in another mans name. Why
this is so the East Oregonian does
not know and it will not attempt to
say. That is DR.. Swinburne's bust
ness.
The one big thing in which this pa
per is interested with respects to DR..
Swinburne's candidacy is that he
stands as the candidate of two cor
pcrations that are in a sense at war
with the city With one of these
corporations Pendleton must fight IL
It secures a greater and better water
supply. With the other it must con-
tend If the city secures competition
in the matter of an electrical supply.
With the forces Of that corporation
there was strife when the city coun-
eli and the mayor granted franchise
to rival electrical company a year
ago. At this time there is strife be-
cause that company has come to
Pendleton with the avowed purpose
of making use Of its franchise to bring
additional electricity to Pendleton
and to establish a traction system with
this city as its base of operations.
Under the circumstances is it not
plainly the duty OF every man, woman
and child in this city TO work for the
reelection of Mayor Murphy? The
East Oregonian believes such is the
case. This paper feels it would be
idIotic for the people to elect as may
or a man who is bac ked by the forces

EBEN r. WASHBURN DEAD.
First Break In Ranks Of Lead City
Men, Long Steadfast Friends.

Death has broken q friendship be-
tween four well known Lead men that
has existed over forty years by taking
away Even T. Washburn, a well-known
resident. True to the last, the re-
naming chums acted as ~pallbearers
and helped to lay to rest their COM
rade of the early days.
In 1867 Mr.. Washburn reached Vir-
ginia City, New, after having spent
fifteen years mining and prospecting
in California. In the Nevada town he
met William s.. O'Brien, Nick Ire
week, Sr., and A. j. White. and the
four soon became fast friends. Mr..
W%ashburn became general foreman of
the Sierra Nevada mine, on which
property he found positions for his
three friends.
In later years they went to Cali
fornia, where they resumed mining
until one by n they came back to
the Black Hills and settled in Lead.
O'Brien became foreman of the big
Homestake property and soon placed
his friends as they came to Lead.
He is still foreman, and Treweek is
state mine inspector.

Homestake Lode May Extend Clear to the Northern
Foothills of the Black Hills.

found as the result of future drilling
operations it will be selected as the
place for a shaft to be continued
down to the ore ledge, when mining
operations will commence on a large
scale.
The vertical lodges at such points
as they have been struck, outside of
the Homestake tract, show well in
size at the point where encountered.
and In some cases carry values in gold
that are regarded as unusual. In adj
dition to resembling the vertical ore
of the Homestake company in general
character they also occur under SINH
lar conditions. That there has been
a strong vulcanic action present In
the formation of the vertical upheaval
is apparent throughout the entire
length of the lode, and this, to most
mining men, Is a most desirable in
dication.
At one point the mining property
formerly belonged to a p~rospector
who was without means to carry on
any deep work, and although he fol-
lowed some of the verticals down for
some distance, his work was stopped
by e~ncountering water. AS far as he
was able to go, however, he foundi in
creasing values and the veins well de-
fined. This property now Is owned
by a company, which will continue the
investigation. confident in the belief
that the Homestake lode extends
through the property at some distance
underground.
Heretofore the Homestake company
has beer about the only mining COM
pany in the Black Hills hat has con-
Quoted deep mining. but the striking
Of the Homestake lode elsewhere with
the practical certainty that it extends
for many miles clear to the northern
foothills of the Black Hills, will result
in other companies engaging in deep
mining and developing mines as rich
as the Homestake.
In the near future the many miles
through which the Homestake lode
now has been travelled will be the
scene of extensive mining operations.
and the region is certain to be dotted
with the mills and other plants of the
various companies and thus resemble
the famous Rand region of South
| Africa.

Two more laws are expected to go
to the people through the referendum
in case the petitions which are out
secure the required number of sigma
lures. One of these is chapter 1O7,
which gives the governor power to
remove county and local officers for
m~alfeasance in Office, gross incom-
potency. drunkenness or habitual and
willful neglect Of official duty. The
removal to be after hearing on the
charges in case they are sustained.
The other law which Is to be car

which attempted to do away with the
state board of embalmers. The en-
balmers say while that was the intent
of the law, as it stands, 1t Will pre-
vent the shipment of bodies between
points in the state, or out OF the state
recurring all burials to be at the
place where the death occurs.
In the sales of the state lands IN

amounted to $i43, 900.
The state treasury has made a call
for $4,000 of outstanding general

ten years ago to seek a fortune, APP
Deared in the county court at Lead
and offered evidence which resulted

estate placed in probate.
Until ten years ago Griffin was a
resident of Lead. In 1898 he went to
Alaska and three years later his
wife here received a letter from him,
saying he was i'll and needed money
to come home. She raised the funds,
and when ready to send them found
that Griffin had disappeared. Every
effort was made to locate him through
the officials of Seattle and Alaska
towns, but to no avail, and hope was
given up. His wife is now dead and

COOKING ON THE TRAIL.
Making Bread Without a Bread Pan
Keeping Coffee From Boiling Over.

Keeping Coffee From Boiling Over.
Our guide allowed me to assist him
in preparing the breakfast, though I
fancy my assistance might have been
easily dispensed with. He sagely re-
marked that if I was going to rough
1t might as well begin learning now
as any time. 1t was astonishing how
appetizing a meal he prepared with
the very fewest conveniences.
For instance, he made bread in the
sack of -four without using a bread
pan. He followed out a cavity in the
-four, poured in water, added salt and
baking powder in proper quantities,
then proceeded to mix the dough. He
did another thing in his cooking that
amused me very much. To prevent
the coffee boiling over he placed a
small green willow stick across the
open top of the pot. The lesson in
physics soon followed.
The coffee bubbled and then rushed
up to the top of the pot as though it
was going to boil over the sides and
extinguish the fire, but as soon as it
touched the willow it subsidized like
some sentient thing.
