ORDER RATE CHANGE.

Salem, Ore.-After hearing and in
vestigation of the complaint of the
Enterprise Commercial club, the rail-
road commission today ordered that
the o. r. & ~ company desist from
refusing to apply the continuous dis
tance class rates to shipments to and
from points on the Wallowa branch
line from Palmer Junction to Joseph,
inclusive, and that it shall in future
apply its continuous class rates. ac-
cording to its effective distance tar
ifs to shipments taking class rates
to and from points on said branch,
Palmer Junction to Joseph. This or
der does not apply TO interstate ship
ments on any article or commodity.
The commission finds that the
practice of charging the through class
rates from and to points on the o. r.
& n. line between Palmer Junction
and Joseph by combination of the
rate to and from Elgin, adding GER
tain proportional rates same as full
distance tariff rates for the number
of miles between Elgin and the points
above mentioned, is unjust, unrea-
sonable and a discrimination in favor
of shippers on the Wallowa branch,
including Elgin. west, and that it
would be just to apply a continuous
distance rate to shipments to and
from Palmer Junction and Joseph,
limited to commodities taking class,
rates.
The commission also finds that the
proportional rates for the transport
tation of wool are used almost en-
tirely as a basis for the computation
of through interstate rates, but the
commission expresses no opinion up
on the proportional rate on wool;
also it finds that the proportional
rates applied on livestock have not
been given a thorough test, and there
being no testimony showing that the
livestock rates are largely used as a
basis for the computation of through
interstate rates. it will make no order
until the matter is given a thorough
practical test. The order goes into
effect 20 days after service.

THE WIFE.

(By Theodosia Garrlson.)
The little Dreams of Maidenhood-

As tenderly as mothers would
The toys of yesterday,
When little children grow to men
Too overwise for play.
The little dreams 1 put aside

And yet. since moonblown buds must
hide
Before the MONDAY sun,

And give the key to none.
O little Dreams of Maidenhood-
Lie quietly, nor care
II some day in an idle mood
1, searching unaware
Through some closed corner of my
heart,
Should laugh to find you there.

MRS. TAFTs GOOD EXAMPLE.

1t is really generous not to be too
generous with the peoples money,
says the San Francisco Examiner in
commenting upon a recent announce
ment from the White House.
The predecessor Of Mr. Taft spent
one-half million dollars in the reno
vation of the White House. But Mrs.
Taft has decided to be saving, even
with paint and paper, in the summer
freshness Of her stately rooms.
And she has decided that the old
china in the closet is good enough for
her. In the words Of a former ten
ant of the White House we might
say Bully"
While self-repression in the use OF
public money Is not everything that
beseems a presidential household, It
at least is an evidence Of good taste.
It sets a good example.
And by that token we all salute
Mrs. Tar, the first domestic econo-
mist of the landl

OPENING THE PASTURE.

Has the gate to the big eastern Ore
gon pasture at last been opened? Are
railroads TO be built into the interior
II now looks very much as though the
long expected has come to pass. The
operations Of Porter brothers on the
Des Chutes seem to leave no doubt
but that Hill is determined to compete
with Hartman for the business of
central oregon. At this time both big
railway kings have men at work
Cthrowing lines southwark towards
Crook county. That one or both lines
will be extended TO the interior seems
assured.
of course it may be all buncombe.
In railroad construction there are
many fake plays" Then sometimes
roads are started in good faith and
millions Of dollars expended and then
the work abandoned. 1t is yet too
early to say for sure whether or not
central Oregon gets railroad connec-
tions. But the outlook seems good.
This much is sure. if Hill and Har-
riman are really out to build to the
interior or if either one has such in
teutions. then eastern Oregon's day OF
development is at hand. For many,
many years the interior has lain dor
Tnant waiting the coming of the iron
horse. South of a certain distance
from the Columbia the whistle Of the
locomotive has never been heard. The
crack Of the stage drivers whip and
the tinkling bells upon the freight
teams alone have broken the stiffness
os the air. Meanwhile good agricui-
tural land has been used only for pas
turage purposes; irrigation projects
have gone undeveloped and forests
uncut because the interior has had
no transportation facilities. While
eastern Washington, which has been
blessed with several railroads, has
been going forward steadily the great
e. portion of this state has been held
back because of its isolation.
But if a railroad is to be built UP
the Des Chutes it means that the long
days Of waiting are at an end. Other
roads will be constructed when once
the pasture" is opened. The Des-
Chutes road will extend through to
California; there will be an least and
west road through the interior and
doubtless tha Umatilla Central will be
extended out into Grant county, per-
haps farther.
When the interior is provided with
railroad facilities then eastern Oregon
will come to the front and it will come
with a swift stride, The country viii
become more populous; its resources
will be developed and people viii
stop referring to the interior as th'
"cow counties" May events prov
that this day is now at hand.

1T is a grand work"

Since Saturday the East Oregonian
has been informed by local club wo-
men that this states federation of
women's clubs is already engaged in
aiding ambitious girls in securing edu-
cations as are the club women of
Georgia. For several years the Ore.
son federation of women's clubs has
been lending money to ambitious and
deserving girls who are attending
school upon their own resources. The
Pendleton club women have contrib
uted their part to this fund.
Since this paper has had the eff
frontery to suggest something that the
ladies were already doing it regrets

THE DIFFERENCE.

Will he to whom my love is given,
My life, my strength, my all,
Love with love that is not shriven
But turns to bitterest gall?
Or will the God that's in him win,
And bear our love on high,
Delivering our souls from sin?
Pure love that cannot die.
The one would turn the loveliest day
To dismal, darkest night.
The other smooth life's toughest way
And lead to realms of light.
Then love me with love that's pure
Or else our ways must part,
Give me a love that will endure,
Nor trample on my heart.

Illustrated Published by Harper &

This is the novel which. running

so MANY couJecturcs as 10 its author

made. bpt the secret of the authorship
has been we'll kept. OF one thing,
however, all may be sure: no name is
100 high or too famous TO speak IN this
connection, for it is n stirring novel
going 10 the heart of things. There is
center Of interest in the boastful lie
fold by a Frenchman about lady, but
which, while confcsslng the lie with
sweat running down his face and in
anguish and despair, he iustifies by a
recital Of the code of gallantry which
prevails in Paris. And, having unbur
dened himself. he lays bare also the
heart Of another man, who had been un-
manned by that lie, and who comes
70 his self-contemptuous outburst
thereupon. The Freuchman repels an
offered love because he feels unworthy
of it as he is; and he leaves the woman
who loves him without chance for her
life s happiness The other man rcaps
a rich harvest Of love and devotion
where he has earned nothing; the
woman enters fearlessly into that

In this story. the lady of the veil
amuses herself extravagantly with two
young men. but chiefly with Lorrle De-
bourg, who was almost kidnapped by her,
and who was alternately hattered,
amused, and angered by tbe way she
led him on and played with him, Then
there was Oscar Van Cleave, who was
also made fun of by this same lady of
the veil, and who repaid in full, max
ing away with her valuable paintings
and leaving in their place copies made
by himself. The situations created are
OF the most amusing. daring. impulsivc,
imprudent kind, but the lady carries
them all off with a secure mastery Of
the situation that is charming. and in
fnitcly to her credit. 1t is battling
sort Of a story, too, elusive and mysteri.
ons at times. but the enjoyment of it is
all the keener as the situation clears.
In the end n great happiness comes to
this fun-loving lady, but in character
istic fashion she treats it in way as
q joke; yet with depth of sentimental
fervor that is altogether pleasant. II
is an entertaining story, of the most
fetching sort.

A TERROR OF THE AIR.
The Hawk: the Story of Aerial War. BY
Ronald Lcgge The John Mcbride Co,
Publishers, New York

The Hawk; the Story of Aerial War. BY
Ronald Lcgge. The John Mcbride Co,
Publishers, New York.
Writers of fiction are quick 10 seize
upon new Innovations and make use of
their merits in exaggerated degree. In
especial is this so when the invention
is SO striking and sensational as the
navigation of the air and the possible
use of air ships in warfare In this
novel. the HHawkn is huge fighting
air ship, which cares terror and de.
structon IN its course. The author
brings vividly before his readers the
assurance that attack by air ship is no
longer future contingency merely, but
an actual possibility at the present
moment.
To demonstrate the truth OF this the
DRY, and to show how easily a hostile
force, equipped with a fleet Of air ships,
might effect their purpose, an aeronaut
recently circled over the city Of New
York in his dirigIblc balloon. and from
the darkness dropped harmless bombs
on the roofs of the city hall, the court
house and other public buildings. Meth.
or the aeronaut nor his craft could be
seen from the street, the only indica-
ton Of his whereabout coming from
the bombs. which took fire as they fell.
This novel creates the actual accom-,
plishment of such an attack. And the
readers interest is kept at the
HthrillP point by the triumphant prog
ress and irresistible power of this in
vincible terror of the air. And with
it all is the story Of the love of a ia
nous actress, affording the sentimental
basis which no well-rogulated novel can
afford TO omit. The widest dreams of
sensational Imagination are made real
in this fiction; and the advances Of tho
time in this direction afford sufficient
groundwork for couceding the possibil
