ONLY ONE HARTMAN.

When the president of the New
York stock exchange declared no one
man can succeed Hartman but that
many men will be needed to carry on
the work of the fallen monarch he
probably prophesied well.
1t is doubtful if any one man can
succeed Hartman. It7is certain there
will never be another man who will
accomplish the miracles he did in rail-
way circles Hartman was an Alex
ander and he all but conquered the
railway world. But such men appear
rarely.
But there is another reason why It
Is improbable that any one else will
be able to do what Hartman did.
The railway business is being placed
upon a different basis from what It
was during Harriman's busiest days.
Then it was private business and It
was conducted for the private benefit
OF the people owning the roads. The
law regarding mergers was not used,
if it was upon the statute books.
Now it is being gradually recogniz-
ed that the railroad business is semi
public affair. The government is
taking a hand in the management Of
roads and in the fixing of freight
schedule. In the future it will do far
more along this line than at present.
Government regulation of railroads
has hardly started. In the effort to
regulate rates the public may receive
set backs. A hard blow was dealt re-
Gently when Judges Grosscup and
Kohlstat ruled that the interstate
commerce commission does not have
rate fixing powers. But that decision
cannot stand. If it is upheld by the
supreme court the country will de-
mand that a new and more compre-
hensive law be passed giving the COM
mission ample powers along the line
o. rate regulation.
This will come about because the
railroad business is too important to
be left wholly in private hands. II
the railroad business were considered
strictly private business then single
combination OF capitalists could Sc
cure control Of all the roads in the
country and they would hold the
country at their mercy. 1t was Harri-
mans dream to bring about such a
merger and It was partly because he
held this ambition that Theodore
Roosevelt and other public spirited
men began to advise governmental
regulation and had the Hepburn law
passed though the law was not as
they wanted It.
For bne man to succeed Hartman
as the managing head Of his great
system may easily be possible. There
are many able railway operators in

HER ANSWER.

distress one morning not long since
by reason Of the delay in serving his
breakfast.

said he to his wife, "and see what the
trouble is. I've an appointment at

The wife complied with his request
When she returned to the dining
room, the husband observed a
strangely melancholy expression on
her face.

you tell the cook that 1 wanted my
breakfast Immediately
Il did"
"And what did she say?"
"She said" responded the wife,
"that I'VE all have our disappoint-

MERELY SPORT.

Just now the world is hearing much
about arctic explorations. Two men
have already reached the north pole;
SO they say, and they are quarrelling
as to which is the greater hero. An
other party is now enroute for the
frozen north intending to press on be-
yond the pole in hopes of finding a
new continent.
But in an economic sense exploring
the polar region is Improbable work.
The arctic region is a frozen waste
and it cannot be utilized. The ex-
ploits of Cook and Peary cannot add
to the material welfare of mankind
and for this reason the work of Peary
and of Cook is of far less Importance
than is the work of such men as Edi-
son and Burbank.
Exploring the arctic is merely a
proposition of sport. While of course
some scientific discoveries are made
on the different expeditions the ex-
petitions are never undertaken for
the mere purpose of making scientific
observations. They are undertaken
by men who hope to gain fame
through accomplishing something
that has never been accomplished
previously. If it were not for this
there would be no Cook-Peary con-
troversy.

IT is FINE WORK.

Within the past few weeks several
local business houses have been pro-
Ivided with new store fronts and as a
result the appearance of Main street
has been greatly improved. When
some work that is now underway is
completed Main street will look far
better than it has in the past,
In no other way may property
owners do more for the betterment
of the city for the amount of ex-
pense involved than by making just
such improvements as this. Nor
could they do work that would be
more appreciated by tenants.
Pendleton has always held the rep
utation of being a good appearing"
town. Main street is always a scene
of life and Pendleton shop windows
always bear evidence of the fact that
the local stores are up-to-date. 1t is
a remark frequently heard from
strangers that the Pendleton stores
are more metropolitan in appearance
than those in other small cities of the
northwest. This is a reputation worth
having and worth sustaining. Prop
erty owners should cheerfully assist
the merchants in sustaining the towns
good reputation.
Let the good work go on.

The Husband-You want to know

at the office balancing my books.
The Wife-It seems to me that you
balance your books very often. That
excuse is about threadbare.
The Husband-H'm! If you don't
believe me, why don't you consult a
fortune teller?
The Wife-Not much; I consulted
one once, and she told me a pack of
lies.
The Husband-Indeed! What did
she tell you?

DUTY OF WATER.

An important law suit now pending
from the Echo country has for its
chief feature the question of the duty
OF water-how much water is needed
for the successful raising of crops. II
is much the same question that was
raised by the famous Peacock mill
company suit from the east end of
the county. 1t is a question that is
not easy to determine.
True irrigation experts may tell very
closely how much water is needed by
analyzing the soil, considering the
natural rainfall and other elements
that enter into the proposition. Yet
even they cannot tell exactly as to
the duty of water for the reason that
their deductions are necessarily based
to an extent on observations taken in
other sections.
In one way only may we find out
accurately how much water is need
ed for successful irrigation in the
west end of the county. That is by
practical experience covering a num-
Der of years. Even then it is to be
anticipated that practical men will diff
fer somewhat in their opinions for it
is hardly to be expected that any two
men will look upon the matter in
identically the same light.

man to rival the work he did will be

such work no longer exist. We will
