.BALLINGER
IGNORES ATTACKS


WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-When
Secretary Ballinger returned to Wash
ington to take charge of the report
10 the President on the Cunningham
coal land entries he found his desk
IN the Interior Department literally
swamped with newspaper clippings
bearing on his troubles with Clifford
Pinchot and others. There were
scare stories and conservative stor-
les; pro-Ballinger and pro-Pinehot ar
ticles; predictions that Ballinger's
mead would fall in the basket and
equally firm predictions that l1r chot
would go on the toboggtl but tho
Secretary had no time for CLIPPINGS:
he paid no heed to what the writ
ers, pro and con, Were saying In
stead, he delved Immediately into
the files of his Department, conferred
with all officials who had had any
connection with the Cunningham en-
tries, and got at the bottom facts of
the case that brought him hurriedly
across the continent. That is Mr.
Ballinger's way. Perhaps at his leis-
ure, when he shall have spare mo-
ments, and when the Pinchot-Balling-
err affair shall have become a closed
event, Secretary Ballinger will glance
over the interesting collection Of
newspaper reports and comments.
But while the issue is a live one, he
keeps away from opinions and COM
ments of others He is a man who
always prefers to be judged by his
acts, rather than his words, and he
does not care for premature COM
ment on an Enclosed incident. In this
case as in others, he prefers to know
what the public thinks after it knows
all the facts; he is not concerned
over premature conclusions formed
on advance, and only partial infor-
nation much of which is VIGOROUSLY
biased
Secretary Ballinger, after further
stay in Seattle, will return to Wash
ington in the fall, by way of the
southwest. In company with the Sc
nate Irrigation Committee, he visited
many of the government irrigation
projects in the northern tier of states
during the month of August, and it
is his purpose, before returning to
Washington for the winter, to per
sonally acquaint himself with what
is going on in the Southwest. The
Senate committee also proposes to
cover this section, but as the COM
mittee will not start on the last lap
of it's tour until the early par of No
vember, Secretary Ballinger will not
be able to wait for them. He prob
ably will spend only short time in

THE PORTAGE EXTENSION.

When the recent legislature was
asked to appropriate $4,000 for the
completion Of the Cello portage road
into The Dalles some of the rail,
road" papers of the state opposed the
measure and sought TO prevent its
passage by Offering various objections
TO the expenditure.
At that time the East Oregon sup
ported the measure enthusiastically
for the reason that the extension Of
the portage promised TO increase the
efficiency of the Columbia river as
freight rate regulator. This paper
is glad the bill passed and that pre-
parations are now underway for the
extension of the road into The Dalles.
"All obstacles to the completion of
the portage railroad from Big Eddy to
The Dalles have been cleared away,
the line is being located, and con-
struction work will begin soon, says
the Oregon Journal Many people do
not understand the Importance of this
little three-mile piece of road, and i'm
agine that the appropriation therefor
by the last legislature was money
wasted. on the contrary, it is doubt
full if the state ever made a better in,
vestment. It may be compared in
value to the Cascade locks, which
opened up the river from the Cas-
cades to The Dalles, about As miles,
while this will perfect the portage
road, that We may roughly say half
orens up the river beyond The Dalles
for 25O miles. The portage road al
ready built, between Big Eddy and
Cello, has been useful, but with this
three miles built, bringing it into The
Dalles, its usefulness will be greatly
increased. Already there are three
steamers on the upper river, but with
this road completed more and better
and faster schedules can be main
In addition to facilitating shipping
on the river the extended portage road
will also hasten the completion of the
Cello canal. See if it does not.

STUNNING ELECTRIC LIGHTS.

When it first became known that
the blond girl had refused a situation
in the dry goods store because she
would be obliged to pursue her la
bors under an electric light instead Of
the light of heaven, the irreverent ac-
cused her of undue vanity.
''She was afraid the glare would be
too hard on her hair and complexion, ="
they said.
BY and by this caustic remark
reached the blonde girls ears and she
lost no time in refuting the charge.
THAT is not the reason at ALL" she
said. 81 wouldn't take a place at
that counter because the chances are
that half the things I sold would be
brought back. 1t makes a saleswo-
many things come back. Also, it
makes the manager disgusted. know,
because l have had experience. The
last two places I worked I was cooped
up in an electric light cozy corner
trying to sell cretonne and decorative
cloths. incidentally, I had a few
cheap soft pallows thrown in for good
measure. I made plenty of sales at
that counter, but precious few of
them were keeps. Every time I got
rid of an article I expected to well
come 1t back in day or two, and
usually I did.
""The colors are not what
thought they were said the dissatis-
fled customer. Those electric lights
are so decelving. When I got the
stuff out in the daylight 1t looked en-
tirely different from wha. it did In
the store
"And then, of course, the manager
would blame me. Just as II 1 could
help 1t because blue looked green and
saffront canary yellow. Finally
got wise. I made up my mind that
the next time take a situation will
fight for a counter near a window,
so my customers won't swoop down
on me with the everlasting complaint
of having been deceived in colors. -

went and worked in a drppin' mine,
'Mong the rock and the oozin' wood,
For the dark seemed lit with a dollar
sign,
Anr they said that moneys good,
So / jumped and sweat for a splay-
foot boss
And my pockets bulged with pay
But my heart it fought like a snubbed
bronze hawse
Till flung my drill away.
For the wind! the wind! the good,
free wind,
she sung from the pine divide
How the sky was blue and the
young years few
And the world was big and wide.
From the poor, bare hills, all CASH
ed with scars,
l rode till the range was crossed;
Then | watched the gold of sunse,
bars
And my camp sparks glintin tow
ard the stars
And laughed at the pay I'd lost.
l went and walked in the city way,
Down a gltterin' canon-street,
For the thousand lights looked good
and gay
And they said life there was sweet,
And the women laughed while night
reeled by
And the wine ran red and gold
But their laugh was the starved wolt's
huntin' cry
And their eyes was hard and old.
And the wind the wind the clean
free wind,
She laughed through the April
rains
Come and live by the wine l give
In the smell of the spring-time
plainsl"
Oh, l looked back once to the smoky
Where my face had bleached so

Then loped through the lash of

To the uncut sod and the prairie
flowers
And the old wide life o. the trail.

For love lived there mong the honey

And they told me love was best.
There the lanes we walked was cool
and dim
And the orchards white with May,
Yet my eyes they'd lift to the valleys
rim
Where the desert reached away
And the wind! the windl the wild,
free wind
She called from the web Love spun
To the unbought sand of the lone

And the sweet, hot kiss o. the sun

\ SPLENDID SCHEME.

At this time the most important en-
terprise under way in Umatilla county
is the scheme for the construction OF
railroad from Umatilla to Pendle-
ton via Holdman. If the plans Of the
farmer promoters of the road can be
carried out all the country through
which the road will pass will be i'm
nensely benefited and so will this
city.
Then if in addition to this road to
the river a road is extended south
from this city TO Grant county and
the entire system electrified by power
generated on the John Day, Umatilla
county's cup will be full indeed.
Umatilla county's greatest need Is
of electric roads. Roads are especi-
ally needed from Grant county into
Pendleton and from Pendleton to the
Columbia via. the Holdman country
and the Umatilla project. The coun-
try south of Pilot Rock is now wholly
without transportation facilities. SO
Is the Holdman country. Both these
sections are being held back by the
lack Of railroad facilities. The south
end of the county remains a stock
raising section because farming is not
profitable so far from a railroad. Out
in the Holdman country the farmers
are forced to haul their wheat long
distances in order to sell it.
Now the construction Of roads
through these sections will not only
facilitate the marketing of crops but
will also double or treble the price Of
land along the roads. 1t is the his
tcry everywhere that the building OF
such roads bring about a more diver
.sified farming and consequent
greater population and higher land
valuations.
The farmers in the Holdman coun-
try are wide awake men and so they
have decided to have a railroad built.
They want to build from Umatilla to
Holdman and hope to have the road
extended on into this city and ulti-
mately to Grant county. Those back
OF the movement believe that God
helps those who help themselves" So
they have started out to see what they
can accomplish towards building a
road. A preliminary survey has been
made, right Of way asked for and
farmers along the line have been asked
tc do grading work for stock in the
company.
Though the task Of railroad build
Ing is not an easy one yet there is
every reason to believe that the farm
ers' scheme can be carried out with
complete success. If the farmers will
but unite in the matter they can build
the road with ease, for they have
plenty of money with which to do 1t
and It will pay them to build. II
they cannot do the engineering work
they can employ men who can. If
they do not want to operate the road
after it is completed plenty of COM
petent men will be available for that
work
What the farmers need to do now
and what the people Of Pendleton, Of
the west end and of the south end
need to do, is to get together and
back this proposition so as to ensure
