A MERIToRIOUs ENTERPRISE.

The announcement that the Umatilla
Railway & Electric Power company
proposes to develop its power site on
the John Day river and build an cleo
trio line from Grant county to this
city and from here to the Columbia is
OF intense interest.
Whether or not this company will
succeed in carrying out its enterprise
the future must tell. According to
those behind the company the work
will be done if the people of this city
ard along the proposed line will but
give the proper support. If this is the
case then the proposition merits ear
nest consideration.
At this time it is doubtful If any
thing would work more for the ad-
vancement of Pendleton and this en-
tire county than the building of just
such a road as this. Such road
would result in the development an1
settlement of the southern part Of this
county. a section that is rich in pos
sibilities and is directly tributary to
Pendleton. Such a road would wed
Grant county to Umatilla in COM
nercial sense, for it would furnish
the natural outlet for that part Of the
interior. The extension of the road
from Pendleton to the Columbia would
give the farmers what they have long
prayed for-an independent road
through the northwestern part of the
county to the open river.
But the proposed road would do still
more. In the south end of this coun-
~ there is an enormous amount OF
timber awaiting manufacture. With
railroad. electric or steam, in oper-
alton. that timber could be brought
here for manufacture. This is the
natural place for the sawmills and
when a road is built to that timber as
will unouestionably be done some day
local people should see that the mills
are located at this point.
Upon this subject there is one thing
further that may be said with pro-
priety at this time. If anybody can
afford to build such a road as the one
proposed the people of this city and
along the proposed line can afford 10
do so. If it is built by local capitai
or largely by local capital the return
upon the investment will not be alone
in the direct dividends paid by the
company but there will be in addition
an enormous indirect return through
the fact that the enterprise will work
for the development and population
of the county, of Pendleton and OF the
other places along the line.

ACTORS OF THE PAST.

Those whose memories go back 40
or even 80 years recall great individ-
ual performances for which they find
no equivalent on the stage of today.
Where they ask, are we to look for
the equals of Edwin Forrest, Edwin
Booth, John Gilbert, Joseph Jeffer-
son, Lester Wallack, John McCul-
lcugh. Charlotte Cushman, Ristori,
Janauschek, Clara Morris, Mrs. John
Drew? I am myself enough of a
veteran to understand, though Lean
not share, this feeling. The trage-
dams and comedians of our youth
gave us pleasures which we cannot
now recapture, partly because their
school, their method, has died out,
partly because we are now more crit
ical and less accessible to the mere
hysteria of emotional acting. one
may quite believe in the greatness OF
Edwin Forrest, yet doubt whether he
would be found endurable by the pub
lie of today. John Mccullough GER
tainly would not, any more than the
G. V. Brookes and Barry Sullivans of
the English stage.
Edwin Booth in his great moments,
was an actor whom any age could
not but applaud; but how unequal ne
was and how often he appeared
amid miserable surroundings and in
plays of amazing bombast and Farti-
ficiality.-McClure's,
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-10-27

John Jacob Astor died he left the then
enormous sum of 100000 for the
establishment of a public library In
New York. Washington Irving was
made the president of the trustees.
Coming from such stock as this peo-
pie naturally expect more from the
Astors than from some of those who
have entered New York's charmed cir
Gle in recent years and whose fathers
were not fur traders but buccaneers
of the stock exchange or the wheat
pit.
But great wealth is usually injuri-
Gus TO all save the generation that
earned it and the Astors seem no ex,
ception. Those who inherit wealth
are unfortunate in that they have
nothing to spur their ambition. They
have. or imagine they have, all the
world can give them. So they devote
themselves to lives of Incidence and
soon becomes a family of degenerates.
A according to the press reports the
present John Jacob Astor was cruis-
ing in his private yacht in Cuban
waters at the time his wife filed her
ilvorce suit. The original John Jacob
had no difficulty killing time"
The safety of the country lies in the
fact that most of the people do not
belong to families of enormous
wealth.

GERMANY's PREPAREDNESS.

Plans for the invasion of every
European and transatlantic country,
including the United States, lie ready
for use in the drawers of special re-
ceptacles at the German war office,
and Immediately on the declaration
of war every officer, man and boy in
the service would be informed by tel
egram of the outbreak of hostilities.
Being in the possession of secret in
structions, the purport OF which he
has sworn not to divulge, every man
in the vast German fighting machine
knows exactly the place assigned to
him and what he has to do within a
few hours after the country has ta-
ken the field. Every officer is in the
possession of secret mobilization or
ders that would enable him to take
up his place with his men in the gi-
gantic military chess-board without
further instructions. The entire rail-
way would be handed over to the mil
itary railway department, a branch
of the service that assumes control
over the transport of the army. All
German railway stock is built with an
ultimate idea of war. The traveller
through Germany will notice that ev-
cry truck, open or covered, has pc
culiar hieroglyphics painted on it in
a front corner, which on closer eX-
animation read as follows: EUR IL
Mann, oder Pferde. Gerwicht,-."
These figures denote the number of
horses, men or the weight of the guns
that the car can carry during war
time. Germany stands alone of all
countries in sthe world in being fl
nancially mobilized for war and in
possessing a war fund" The
amount may seem insignificant when
compared to the entire cost that
Continental war might entail, yet it
would enable the country to tide over
the first few days and to administer
the first blow without delay.-Mc-
Clure's.

common in New York high society,""
Thev are almost every day occurrences
and some Of them show very sensa-

Yet many people have been used to
considering the Astors in different
role from this. The Astors are not
"newlyrich." The foundation Of the
Astor fortune was laid century ago.
The original John Jacob Astor was not

he led no life of leisure. He was

MAKE TT PUBLIC.

Considerable land under the UNA
tilla prophet is to be thrown open to
homestead entry this winter. Then
here is a suggestion for those who
will be in charge of affairs-announce
the opening in such way that all Will
know of the same and so may have
equal opportunities for filing upon the
land.
Two of the homestead openings for
the project have been virtually carried
on in secret. Official announcements
of the opening were made it is true.
But the notices were so worded that
only few on the 'fnside" knew their
meaning. SO at each opening a few
fortunate parties secured the land be-
fore others knew the land was open
to entry.
The next time any land is thrown
open to entry the officials should
take pains to see that the public learns
of the same in due season. If a real
public announcement of the opening
is not made in advance of the event
the very natural inference people will
draw is that there is collusion between
the officials and parties who want to
secure land by unfair means.
