STRENUOUS WORK.

Storms as well as battles produce
their heroes. From down the track
comes a story of a trainman's fidel-
ity to duty that deserves mention
While the storm was raging few
days ago a flagman was sent out from
one of the trains running between
Portland and this city.
He went out to flag a train that
would arrive, God knew when" But
the safety of two passenger trains and
the people aboard depended to an ex-
tent at least upon his faithfulness. He
stayed by the job and when he was
relieved his face was frozen.
Railroading during these days is
hard and somewhat perilous work
But it is a comfort to those who trav-
el to know that the o. R. & n. COM
pany has men of the fibre displayed
by this brakeman.

THE LEGISLATURE.

At noon today the legislature be-
gan upon its twenty fifth biennial
session-a session that promises to be
one of the most noteworthy in the
history of the state.
Naturally the chief interest centers
in the disposition of the senatorship
Will the legislators keep their faith
with the people Of the state and elect
Governor Chamberlain to succeed
Senator Fulton.
From indications they will elect
Chamberlain upon the first ballot.
They will if the legislators are wise,
To take any other course would
bring dishonor upon Oregon and the
rankest lnfamy upon the men who
broke their pledges.
But it is useless to talk of this now
for the fight is over. II is gratifying
indeed that the matter has been set
tied in advance of the session. This
leaves the legislature free to take up
the constructive work that will come
before 1t and to handle ghe same
properly.
This is what the state is Interested
in The average man does not care
greatly about the politics of the ses-
sion but he wants to see the legisla-
ture take up the various questions
relating to the material advancement
al the state and to decide them upon
their merits.
There is much for the legislature
to do. Oregon has advanced since
the legislature met two years ago.
The state will progress in the future.
This the legislature should take in
to consideration. They should look
to the Oregon Of the future as well as
OF the present.
Being an eastern Oregon news
paper, the East Oregonian is vitality
Interested in the establishment of the
experiment stations. The hope Of
eastern oregon lies in the reclama-
tion Of its arid lands and in the ad-
option of the best farming methods
IT, the non-ir1igible sections. The
two experiment stations proposed by
President Kerr Of the agricultural
college. promise much benefit to this
portion Of the state. Let US have
them.
Then the water code needs revis-
ing-revision with view to develop
ing the state and not solely to pro-
teatiug private interests L specu-
lators
These are but ii few OF the things
la which eastern oregon is interested.
There re many others and they win
%. pr atod in due time May they
receive ha consideration that taey
merit.

THE STORM.

1t has been many, many years since
the northwest was visited by storm
such as has ragged during the past
week. Only those of the older gen.
Grafton can remember the time when
Old January howled as he has done
during the last four or five days.
Fortunately eastern Oregon is
weathering the storm well. Thus far
the deep snow has been entirely bene-
ficial to the wheat belt. The snow
amply protects the growing grain and
if it does not go away with too great
rush it will leave much valuable
moisture in the soil.
Stockraisers naturally suffer more
than anyone else from such a storm
as the present one. But stockaising
is now upon a diffeent basis from
what it was during the famous "dou-
BILE winter" There are no sheep or
cattle out upon the open ranges.
They are in winter enclosures and
there is plenty of feed to suffice for
many weeks. Good alfalfa hay soft
ems the bite of the storm.
The only serious apprehension at
present is that a sudden freshet may
produce a flood. But warm weather
is improbable at this stage of the WIN
ter and we may escape, especially
since the ground is not frozen.
But if a flood should come it will
find the country better prepared for
it than in the past. Pendleton has a
riprapped levee, long and high, that
will keep the river within its channel.
The o. r. & n. Co. also has road
bed that is different from its frail
line of by-gone daye. Then the COM
pany is watching its foe more vigil
antly than ever before and if a fresh !
ct comes the railroad men will not be !
taken unawares.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-01-11

Monmouth, Weston and Ashland,
suitable appropriations for these
schools are asked for. To accept the
regents recommendations, is the only
sane course to take, The normal
schools will be alright If they ere left
alone and properly supported. stop
pulling them up by the roots and they
will thrive.
Then the agricultural college Is
asking for a larger appropriation this
year, 1t richly deserves It. The
school is doing splendid work for
oregon and it is growing by leaps and
bounds. Every dollar spent upon it
will be returned to the state many
times over in the form of young men
and women adequately trained for
the industrial, commercial and pro-
fessional work of the state. The
people of Oregon are justly proud of
the agricultural college and they will
not begrudge money spent in provid-
ing for it new buildings and equip
ment.
Here's hoping the legislature viii
do we'll by the schools of the state.
In no other way could it render bet
ter service to Oregon.

VERY MODERN.
(Freewater Times.

NfTeeWdleT IlmtS,)
F. G. Stevens has installed a dyna-
mo which pumps the water for the
stock, runs the washing machine,
grindstone, polishing wheels, md
lights the house and barn, furnishing
IL lights averaging 16 candle power.
The power is developed from his
ditch from the Little Walla Walla on
an overshot 50 inch wheel. The
work was done by A. Hironemous.
Many Of our farmer friegds who
have a little fan on their ranch can
emulate Mr.. Stevens in this matter
and at a comparatively small cost
have all the modern improvements in
their homes. Mr. Stevens is one Of
our younger ranchers who is keep
ing up to date in the development Of
his property rendering the same
more valuable year by year.

ADD ANOTHER MILL.
(Weston Leader)

1t would be nothing more than
equitable for the county court to add
an extra mill to the usual levy for
school purposes in Umatilla county,
Under present conditions much valu-
able land lies outside the boundary of
any school district, and escapes the
tax levied by the several districts.
Some of it is located in districts which
maintain no schools. and also escapes.
In all probability the owners of this
land profit just as much as anyone
else by the presence of good public
schools. which their children have
the privilege of attending.

The biggest snow storm for years
is now raging.
Monday evening the balmy atmos-
phere influenced by a chinook COM
menced to turn colder and by 10
o'clock in the evening. a heavy gale
swept over the country with icy cold
ness.
Snow began to fall and has contin-
ued most of the time since the storm
started.
Tuesday morning the mercury was
lingering around zero and the incon-
venience of frozen water pipes was
experienced in almost every house
hold
The heavy snow fall is looked upon
as a boon to the country by every
body. Being extremely heavy in the
mountains and over the county. much
needed moisture will be conserved.

(La Grande Observer.)

The coolest night this year, accom-
panied by blizzard of the worst type
made the night of Friday, January SO
one long to be remembered in this
city. The government thermometer
registered degrees below zero be-
tween dusk and daylight today, and
ii was close to the noon hour before
it again resumed an "above zero"
standing. Coupled with the sharp
wind blowing the binding snowstorm,
all people on pleasure bent failed to
go far. BY midnight the storm had

OSTER SHOT COW.

The case of State VS.. Fred Oster, in
which Oster was accused of shooting
a COW belonging to Jacob Schwabauer,
was held before Justice Hopper in
Cambridge last Tuesday.
Frank Harris appeared for the
state, and L. L. Burtenshaw of coun-

by jury and the defendant was ac-
quilted. The evidence did not show
that Mr.. Oster had anything to do
with the shooting.
