What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills almost every wish in correcting
rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys,
liver, bladder and every part of the urinary
passage. Corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant me-
cessity of being compelled to go often
through the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
immediate effect of Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It stands the highest be-
cause ofits remarkable

THE MEANING OF DREAMS.

1t is well known. for example, says
H. Addington Bruce in Success Mag
azine," that dreams have stimulated
men to remarkable intellectual
achievements. and have even sup
piled the material for these achieve
ments. Thus. Coleridge composed
'Kubla Khan" in a dream. Tartini
got his Devils Sonata" from a
dream in which the devil appeared
and challenged him to a musical COM
petition. 1t was a dream that gave
Voltaire the first canto of his Hen
riade." and Dante's "Divina Connie
dia" is likewise said to have been in
spired by a dream.
Many novelists, on their own admis-
sion. have obtained the plots for some
of their best works from materials
provided in dreams. A particularly
impressive instance is that of Robert
Louis Stevenson, whose Chapter on
Dreams" in his book Across the
Plains" should be read by all who
would learn what dreams can do Tor
man intellectually. The solution
of battling mathematical problems,
the ideas necessary to complete some
invention, have been supplied by
dreams. Occasionally the dreamer
has been known to rise in his sleep
and jot down the information thus
acquired.
In such cases he usually forgets
all about the helpful dream, and on
awaking is greatly surprised at find
ing the record he has made OF IT,
Which shows that-as with the VS.
ions so patiently influencing health
it is possible for dreams to aid man
in an intellectual way without his
being consciously aware Of them.

SALOON REGULATION,

The mass meeting to be held this
evening in the rooms of the Com
mercial association promises to be a
very important gathering Some big
topics ase to be up for consideration
and the way to insure proper action
is for the business men and property
owners of the city to be out and take
part.
Aside from the question of gravity
water system and municipal light
plant the subject of saloon regulation
will also come up for discussion.
There are many who would like to see
action taken now that will pave the
way for a new deal" when the gen.
eral election is held year hence. In
the past the fight has been between
saloonmen and prohibitionists. But
many would like to see the matter
taken out Of the hands of both these
radical elements. They would like to
see the liquor business legalized again
IL assured the business would be
properly conducted.
So it is proposed that at the COM
ing city election the people adopt
measure. under the initiative, that will
insure the rigid control of the liquor
business in this city if the people of
the county vote the county wet at the
next general election. Such action
as this on the part of the people would
not only insure proper control of the
providing the county goes wet
next year but it would also be a pow
erful argument in favor of voting the
wet next time.

OPTIMISM.

Be brave, faint heart,
The dough shall yet be cake;
Be strong weak heart,
The butter is to come,
Some cheerful chance will right the
applicant,
The devious pig will gain the lucky
mart,
Loquacity be dump
Collapsed the fake.
Be brave, faint heart!
Be strong, weak heart,
The path will be made plain;
BE brave, faint heart,
The bore will crawl away.
The upside down will turn to right
side up.
The stiffened lip compel that slipping
cup,
The doldrums of the day
Be not in vain.
Be strong, weak heart!
Be brave faint heart,
The jelly means to jell;
BE strong, weak heart
The hopes are in the malt.
The wrong side in will yet turn right
side out,
The longtime lost come down yon
cormorant spout.
Life still Is worth her salt:
What ends wells well.
Be brave, faint heart.

tilla is utilized is but question of
time. The power producing ability of
the river is valuable and in the future
this value will increase. Would 1t not
be better for the city to have control
of this power and use it in the in
terests of the people of the city rather
than let the property go eventually
into the hands of the power trust
which would require that the divl-
dends be sent to Wall street?
In taking up this subject the East
Oregonian is moved by no animosity
towards the present electric company
or its manager. But this paper would
like to see a fair and fearless discus
sion of the subject and a complete in
vestigation into the merits of the pro-
position for a combined water system
and electric plant. 1t looks like a
good scheme and whether or not it is
such may be determined by investiga-
ton. If it is found to be a good
scheme this paper will favor its ad~
option. The East Oregonian desires
to forward the interests of the people
of this city. 1t does not serve the
Northwestern gas and electric COM
many.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-10-12
THE CITY MAY COMPETE.

Mr.. Carter says the city cannot re-
woke the franchise of the North
western gas and electric company so
long as the company lives up to the
requirements of its franchise. Being
a lawyer Mr.. Carter should know
But granting that Mr.. Carter is
correct in this matter there is still
hope for those who believe munich
pal electric plant would be a good
thing 70 have. The Northwestern gas
and electric company does not hold an
exclusive franchise. The city of Pen
dleton may establish an electric sys-
tenn any time it sees fit to do so and
compete with the present company in
supplying electricity to the people Of
the city. Or it may grant franchise
to another corporation to install such
a plant should such a franchise be
wanted. We would then have compe-
tition in the lighting business and
doubtless rates to consumers would be
lowered.
AS to whether it would be good
business policy for Pendleton to es-
tablish an electric plant in connection
with a gravity water system and sell
electricity in competition with the
present company is matter that can
be determined only by investigation
into all the phases of the subject. 1t
is not a matter to be passed upon
until full information is at hand.
But the surface merits of theplan
for a municipal plant are certainly
sufficient to justify the city in look
ing into the matter closely. To be-
gin with the city now pays the electric
company something like $4,000 annu-
aIly for street lights and for pumping
water. IN other words the city is pay
ing the company five per cent inter-
est upon 100000 investment,
though Of course it cannot be assumed
that the money collected by the COM
pany is all clear profit. The city Is
such a heavy user Of electricity that
IT might well pay the municipality to
maintain a plant Of its own. With a
municipal plant we could have more
street lights than at present at least
Then the proposition for a COM
bined water and electrical system
seems feasible from an engineering
standpoint. There is a vast amount
of power going unused. The UNA
tilla river IS a similar stream to the
Walla walla and the Walla Walla
river furnishes all the electricity now
psed bv waIla walla, Pendleton and
most of the intervening towns. The
Umatilla should easily be able to FUR
nisb sufficient power for Pendleton
and vicinity.

TINES CHANGES.

Four hundred and seventeen years
ago today Christopher Columbus came
ir sight of land off the West Indies
and the discovery of America was ac'
complished. At that time his coun-
try, Spain, was one of the great pow
ers of the world and the western
hemisphere was peopled by savages.
Today the United States is the lead
ing nation of the earth while Spain is
unable to defeat a puny force of bar
barous Moors. Things have changed
since the day of Columbus.

AN ABORIGINAL VIEW.

He was a youthful Indian,
A brave from way out west,
An eagle-feather in his hair,
A blanket DER his breast.
And walking up and down Broadway
He viewed with much amaze
The quills upon the ladies hats,
Dame Fashions latest craze.
His wonder slowly changed to scorn;
He spake with high disdain:

OF all your braves in vain.
But now l know" Che heaved a sigh

THE MILLIONAIRE.

The gold that with the sunlight lies
In bursting heaps at dawn,
The silver smiling from the skies
At night, to walk upon,
The diamond cleaning in the dew,
He never saw, he never knew.
He got some gold, dug from the mud,
Some silver. crushed with stones;
But the gold was red with dead mems
blood,
The silver black with groans;
And when he died he moaned aloud,
They'll make no pocket in my
shroud."

State Temperance Union, and the
measure, if passed, will be one of the
most radical ever promulgated against
the liquor traffic of the state. Ac-
cording to the officers of the temper
ance organization, it will work to take
away practically all of the liquor bust
ness from the druggists, and the deal
er that relies upon this trade almost
exclusively for his profits will be

Sues for Stops For State.

Attorney General Fred S. Jackson
has filed mandamus proceedings in
the supreme court against Frank M.
Holcomb, county clerk of Wyandotte
county, to compel him to turn over
to the state a total of $1,028.25. This
amount of money is that collected by
Holcomb as hunters licenses during
the three years ending June 80. I'm
der a Kansas statute all hunters must
have licenses. These cost a dollar
each and are issued by the county
clerks. Ho1comb has turned over to
the state only a part of the money he
has collected. Jackson contends that
Holcomb has no authority to hold the
money and that it should be paid at
once. The court granted an alterna-
tive writ of mandamAs, returnable
January 9. Holcomb must pay over
the money at once or show cause why
he does not.

The transcript of the case is a type
written volume of 999 pages which in
cludes every bit of evidence intro

Moore, who then lived in Arkansas
City, shot and killed his wife from
whom he had separated some time
before He was tried some months
later and sentenced to the peniten.i-
airy for life. The case was appealed
to the supreme court and sent back to

in a conviction and life sentence and
the supreme court will again be called
upon to review the evidence submitted
to the lower court as well as the
courts rulings.
