East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-09-01

1t was Whitman the bugle blew;
A voice from the western sea-
Who crossed the plains in cold and
snow
In winter of forty two and three,
How Johnny Bull in silent mood
These rich valleys to possess,
Was bringing hordes from eastern
coast
To settle in the distant vest
John Tyler in the nations chair,
The mission chief degned to see,
'Tf those lands are rich and fair
AS are boldly claimed to be.
Wen stay our hand with Johnny Bull
Nor trade those lands away,
viii give you another year
To find the truth of what you say"
Quickly over the western states
This news like wildfire flew,
And yeomen each in eager haste,
Prepared to follow Whitman
through
Johnny Bull must yet be taught
Not to trample on our toes.
Where Pacific beats against the rock
Oudll Jul present DOuhuoly NiOSc'
Onward up the murky Plat,
Ten thousand wheels began to roll,
Wind and rain and summers heat
Left their trace yet untold.
Disease laid the travellers low,
We left them in their lonely graves;
Not yet a stone to mark their place
Where lie the pioneers so brave.
The Rocky mountains were scaled in
time,
And may dangerous streams we
crossed;
Desert plains were in our line,
Heated sands by winds are tossed,
The winding Snake marked our way,
From this stream we slaked our
thirst,
And our teams would often stray
To find a cooling place to rest.
. 's'.I @E
Western wales soon came to view,
Where flows many limpid streams,
Mountain scenes are ever new,
Clothed in robes Of evergreen.
Zephyrs from the nearby sea
Gently cool the twilight hours,
And the pioneers rest in ease
Within natures odOrous bowers.

ROAD-WAYS TOO WIDE

The following from farmer reader is quite in
teresting and shows that North Dakota farmers
are becoming aware Of the real value of our land:
Turnout Iowa. where land is selling for from $lOo
to 5000 per acre the farmers petitioning for
narrower roadway. They claim that land is too
valuable to be allowed to go unused and that they
are compelled to waste time killing weeds on the
road side when they need to be attending to their
fields. If the roadway is narrowed the weeds will
mot be allowed to grow for the land that is pro-
,ducing is usually kept clean for tie crop.
The land in Dakota will some day be as valuable
as the land in Iowa and perhaps our farmers who
are fencing their farms will do we'll to get
permission to place fences that they will not
have to move them if the roadway is universally
narrowed; most of the farmers crop the roadway
now and if the large tract of broken roadway is
left out side fence, separated from cultivation,
the weed problem will be serious question
than 1t IS now.

PUBLISH THE TAX LISTS

The following from the Grand Forks Herald is In
line with good public policy: On various occasions
the Herald has recommended the official publication
OF the tax lists. real and personal The policy is
in line with the progressive tax policy, and
while it would not make our scheme OF taxation
perfect or come anywhere it, it would effect
an improvement.
It makes no difference to an individual what his
assessment is. The assessor leaves with him a
slip which tells that he is assessed so much That
information of itself is worth absolutely nothing.
No person need care whether his assistant repre-
sents the full value Of his property or fifty, or ten
or five per cent of the value The important thing
for him to know is whether or not he Is assessed
on the same basis with his neighbors. And In
order that he may he must know how his
4neighbor IS assessed. s s8 81.
Theoretically assessments are all public.
They are made by public official who records the
result of his work in a book which is open to the
public and the meeting of the various boards of
equalization are public, so that comparison may be
made and grievances redressed. And the average
man puts his assessment slip carefully away where
ne will never find it again. and forgets all about.
The publicity which consists only in the right to
20 to some office and examine records is OF very
little value in cases where it is important that the
people at large shall be given information. 1nfor-
nation which is Of real value concerning matters
of taxation cannot be gained by the average per-
son by an inspection of the assessed books during
the time which he is able to devote to visits Tor
that purpose.-Bismarck Tribune.

We don't as a rule weary readers with an
account of what the Cclcord family has done Is
doing but can't resist the temptation to tell about
the Colcord Genealogy that has been prepared by
a second cousin of ours. M. J. Colcord, publisher
at Coudersport Pa. From it, we learn that the
first Colcord who cast his lot in America, was
Jonathan, who settled in New Hampshire in 1641,
just twentyone years after the landing Of the May
flower. Such book is most interesting to the
members Of the immediate family, giving quite q
complete history OF the nine generations in America
since that time. or course, think the Colcords
are growing better and smarter right along, tho we
will have to ad nit that sort Of proud Of the
old boys who preceded us. To sit down and peruse
this book, is like reaching back three or four
erations and shaking hands with our ancestors.
This is the first book Of the kind ever published
in this family, and of to US, is the most in
teresting one of the kind we have ever seen.

MAKE A STORE EARN YOUR FAVOR

store should earn your patronage before it re-
ceives it. 1t can't do this unless it's advertising is
aggressive, adequate, contnuous-for store ads give
you store news, and keep you in touch with store
events. They keep you informed of what the store
is doing for you; what it is able to offer you of bar
gains of service or of novelty The stores ads
give you an equal chance to secure special bargains
with the shopper whose time permits and whose in
f
clinatons lead to daily shopping Trips.
The store whose ads do not do this is not earning
your patronage.

Taft and his distinguished party go westward In
August, they will pass thru Mnot. Arrangements
have been made for the entertainment Of the big
fellow at the Twin Cities Fargo and Grand Forks.
Taft and party will pass thru on special over the
Great Northern, and will likely go thru M1not In
daytime. The president has passed over the other
roads leading west, except the Great Northern, and
wants to see what North Dakota is like. Arrange.
ments will be made to entertain the party royalty

Ex-Mayor Sam Clark, in the Daily Reporter has
taken firm stand against the prohibition law as
it now exists ADD as it is enforced in the state to-
day. AS mayor of Minot, MIR. Clark no doubt was
able to learn how this business is conducted and
gave some valuable pointers to those who desire
TO see the law either enforced or repealed. What
Ne need in North Dakota is wholesome respect
flor the laws that exist. We have been too lenient
with law breakers, SO much so that the majority
of our laws considered farce We might pat
tern after Canada in law enforcement.
