THE ARMORY BILL.

II the legislature has any appre-
ciation whatever of the work Of the
Oregon national guard. Senator
Smiths armory bill will be adopted
As the bill stands it is a most con-
servatiye measure. 1t calls for a
comparatively small expenditure on
the part Of the state and requires that
counties or cities where armories are
to be built shall pay an equal amount
with the state. Certainly the state
can afford to make such an offer as
this.
Should Senator Smiths bill become
a law the local guard company will
be able to secure an armory providing
the county or the city, or both acting
in cooperation. will pay half the ex-
penses Of bearing the same. Local
people should be willing to do this.

FARENG WELL.

Eastern Oregon and especially
Umatilla county seem to be faring
very we'll at the hands of the present
legislature. The experiment station
for the Umatilla project will be Sc
cured and doubtless the Weston nor
nal appropriation will go through, un-
less. unfortunately, the legislature
should give in to those who insist on
constantly harassing the schools of
the state.
Then Pendleton is. in line for the
branch asylum; the coyote bounty
bill seems to be meeting with favor;
likewise a bill 10 extend the portage
road to The Dalles and the bill revis-
ing the water code. If all Of these
measures succeed in passing there
will be reasons for rejoicing in east
ern oregon.

HER ANSWER.

Today. dear heart, but just today,
The sunshine over all,
The roses crimsoning the air,
Along the garden wall!
Then let the dream and dreamer die;
Whate'er shall be, shall be
Today will still be thine and mine
To all eternity.
And oh. there is no glory, ueai,
When all the world is done.
There is no splendor lasteth out
The sinking of the sun;
There is no thing that lasts, not one
When we have turned to clay,
But this: you love me-all the rest
Fades with the world away.
So little while, so little while,
This world shall last for us;
There is no way to keep it, dear,
But just to spend it thus.
There is no hand may stop the sand
From flowing fast away.
But who turns the whole glass down
And dreams it's all today.

PadereMskl's Diet.

Prior to his appearance at con-
cert Paderewski would not thank one
for a piece Of the finest turkey or for
the most toothsome Christmas pud-
ding ever made. On a concert day he
eats nothing until it is concluded ex-
cept one soft-boiled egg When it is
over he takes a hearty meal, which
he enjoys thoroughly, as his appetite
is excellent, although he Is so abstem-
inous. During a concert he drinks Il
soda lemonade fade without sugar.
It need hardly be said that this is not
intended as a stimulant After the
concert he permits himself draft OF
some malt beverage-Tid-B Bits.

THE ASYLUM COMPROMISE.

Under the circumstances the COM
promise effected yesterday between
the Umatilla and Baker county dele
cations regarding the branch asylum
bill was the best that could have been
accomplished for either side Through
the agreement reached yesterday
strife between the two delegations has
been averted and the matter Of To-
eating the asylum will be decided lat
er. II will be located near Pendle-
ton or near Baker City, according to
which place the state board finds
most advantageous.
Had the compromise bill not been
agreed upon 1t is doubtful II any
branch asylum bill could have been
passed at this session. Neither side

THE LITTLE ONES.

We are the little bills,
The kind you like TO bolt;
But we happen around on the first or
the month
And give you fearful jolt.
Remember that ten-dollar note
Reserved for a brand new hat?
The gas. the milk and length of silk
Put in their claims for that.
Did you think you would like TO hear
The tenor of whom all rave?
Did you say to yourself: II will get
the pelf
And save and save and save?
Did YOU "save and save and save"
TIL you had the needed sum?
Did the cold snap. due, make trouble
for you?
And the plumber-he had to come.
We're just the little bills;
To say we are large is rash.
But we are the ones that make the
duns
And gobble up the cash.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-01-27
EXTEND THE PORTAGE.

How eastern Oregon people or
eastern Oregon papers can oppose
the extension of the portage road
from Big Eddy to The Dalles is in
deed difficult to see.
SO thoroughly have the people of
this section learned the benefits to
be derived from water competition
that it is unnecessary to dwell up
on them here. The building of the
portage road and of the canal at
Cascade Locks worked a great reduc-
ton in railroad freight rates. The
construction of the Cello portage has
also brought about a substantial re-
duction already.
But if the portage is to be of really
great aid to the inland empire it
must be extended to The Dalles, the
actual head of navigation on the riv-
er below Cello. 1t is inconvenient
for boats to run to Big Eddy and
some boat masters refuse to make the
run owing to the dangers involved.
Then the lower terminus of the
portage at present is such that the
regular portage trains cannot run
down to where the boats Land. II is
necessary to lower freight cars down
the incline by means of a stationary
engine. This makes freight handling
cumbersome.
There are some who ask why the
present portage is not used more
than it is. Let them look at the
flower terminus of the road and talk
to lower river boat masters upon the
subject. They will learn that the
portage as it now stands cannot be
of the best service, but that its use
fulness will be vastly increased by ex-
tending the road to The Dalles.
This is an especially opportune time
for extending the portage to The
Dalles and thereby making 1t really
effective as a freight rate reducer.
New boats have just been built for
the river run and If the state will
now provide a proper portage the
river service will force a reduction
Of railroad freight rates.
If the completed portage will bring
about anything like the rate reduc-
ton that followed the constrvc-
ton Of the Cascade Locks port
age, the people of Oregon, both
/ eastern and western, will profit i'm
/ mensely. The sum of $4,000, which
Representative Barrett's bill calls for,
will be insignificant compared with
the saving that will be made.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-01-27

could have given In to the other. A
two-thirds vote is needed in each
house to pass such a measure. 1t is
very doubtful If the Pendleton leg
islators could have mustered such a
vote with Baker City fighting them.
Nor could Baker City have won out
with Pendleton opposing. So the
compromise offered the only solu-
tion to the problem,
But there is another feature of the
case that made the compromise seem
very desirable. 1t is the fact that
with the location of the asylum un-
determined there will be less dan
ger OF the bills being defeated when
voted on by the people at the next
general election.
Had Pendleton forced the fighting
in the legislature and defeated Baker
lily II Il very plNbdult tAiiN bhC pSN-
pie of Baker county would have vot-
ed against ratifyiAg the bill Had
Baker City won out before the legis-
ature Umatilla county people might
have acted in a similar manner. AS
matters now stand there will be no
opposition to ratifying the bill and
t should be upheld without diff
,ulty.
When the time for locating the
branch asylum arrives it will be up
% Pendleton and to Baker City to
'et forth their respective claims to
he institution. In that contest Pen
ileton will clearly have the inside
rack. BY reason of this city's geo.
graphical position it is the. logical
,lace for the branch asylum and the
Cast Oregonian believes that the in
will eventually be located in
he vicinity of this town.

No business deal is ever complet-
ed until the last step has been taken.
The movement to reorganize the Pen
dleton wooden mill will not be over
until the new corporation has been
fully financed and all obstacles in
the way Of the enterprise have been
overcome. For this reason the local
people should not rest until their
work is finished.

Perhaps the most interesting of Eng

the Suffolk witches in 1865, for Sir Mat
thew Hale was the Judge and Sir
Thomas Browne appeared as an expert
medical witness. The two prisoners were
accused of bewitching young children. a
great point for the prosecution being
that out of the blanket of an infant
sucked by one of them a great toad had
fallen and exploded in the fire like gun
powder Immediately after the witch
was found at home scorched and manned.
In spite of unsatisfactory evidence the
two were convicted. Whereupon the
