ENCOURAGING.

Yesterday was the last day for the
filing Of referendum petitions against
measures passed by the last legisla-
ture and reports from Salem state that
but one petition was filed. 1t was in
opposition to the law increasing the
salary Of the circuit judge Of Baker
county
Attempts were made to refer num-
Der Of other measures. One Of the
most vicious movements started was
that against he-agricultural college.
But the move was given up because
it received little or no encouragement.
The people Of the state believe in the
agricultural college and they did not
want to see It's work hampered through
having It's appropriation held UP. The
failure Of the referendum move was
a signal victory for o. A. C.
Furthermore the fact that but one
referendum petition was filed shows
that the people Of the state are learn
ing how to use the initiative and ref
erendum. Two years ago many
measures were referred to the people
Some appropriations were held W
when they should have been LET alone
The university appropriation was one
Of these. But the people sustained
the university and thereby made Il
plain that they did not countenanct
the use Of the referendum in such
cases. It is encouraging to note tha
the lesson has been remembered.

THE LAUNCHING.

In the II young men and women
constituting the high school gradual
ing class last night much interest was
taken by those present. This is al
ways the case on such occasions.
About a commencement program
there's a sentiment that appeals to
the average man and woman. Some
are interested because they have rel
atives or friends in the graduating
class; others because they remember
their own school days. All feel kind
ly towards the graduates and wish
them success.
But because they receive flowers
and congratulations at commence
ment time students should not imagine
that the world will always be kind
towards them. A ship is launched
amidst fluttering flags and ringing
music. But after it has been launched
the ship must battle with the deep and
fare according to its own strength. 1t
is sure to be buffetted by winds and
wave.
So 1t is with a graduating class.
Last night the people cheered the
graduates and gave them flowers.
But the world does not always smile
and applaud. At time it will scowl
and seem cold and heartless. Yet
taken altogether the world is very
good and It does well by those who
live Alright The ship that sails by
chart and compass generally reaches
port, but the bark that goes by the
scenery is liable to end upon the
rocks.

county. This is a foolish course for
the liquor men to take and it is also
unjust to this community.
For the benefit of those who may
not be informed it may be we'll to
state that the city of Pendleton is stin
prospering In many respects the
showing made by the city at this time
is exceptionally good.
Just now Pendleton has building
operations aggregatlng a quarter OF a
million dollars or more either under
way or proposed for the immediate fu-
ture. The Pendleton wooden mill is
being rebuilt and enlarged. Within
the past few months the public library
has been improved the Commercial
club remodelled and at this time many
other long needed Improvements are
under way. Further things are
plduNeQ ApI the luAult.
Yesterday the public schools closed
a very successful years work and last
night the largest high school gradu-
ating class in the history of the city
was turned out. The attendance at
the schools of the city during the past
year was considerable greater than
for the year previous. The postal
business Of the city shows a healthy
Increase almost every month. These
things indicate that the population Of
the city is increasing.
These facts are not given as an
argument in behalf of prohibition, for
that subject is not now at issue in
this county. They are merely given
tn show what Pendleton is doing un-
der conditions as they now exist.
Pendleton is a good little city and
always will be because 1t is the COM
mercial center of large and wealthy
country. The growth of this city in
the past has been due to the business
It receives from the surrounding
country and to the industries within
the city. The future growth of the
city will depend upon the same things.
As far as saloons are concerned,
whether the city has them or does
without them is not of vital concern.
This town flourished when it had sa-
looms; it is now prospering without
them.
Umatilla county is now dry because
the people of the county voted it dry
as they had a right to do under the
/ law. In the future the people of this
county will exercise their privileges
as they have in the past and they will
make this county wet or dry as they
see fit. But whether they keep the
county dry or allow it to become wet
again will have but little effect upon
the development of the county and OF
the towns within it. Regardless of
what is done the wheat will grow, the
sheep will give up their fleeces, the
orchards will continue to bear gruit,
the irrigation projects will be colo
inized the mills and factories will con-
tinue to run and the goddess of pro-
gress and plenty will continue to
smile upon Pendleton and Umatilla
county as she has done in the past.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-05-22

Umatilla county has over 10000
people and something like 5000 vo-
ters. If the Portland liquor men who
are now campaigning against state
prohibition desire support from the
people of this county they should be
careful not. to offend by misrepre-
senting conditions in this county.

Stafford Loses Odd Fellows Home.

After having been promised the site of the Odd Fellows home at the grand lodge session last year, Stafford was turned dow at the session held at Tucson last week. This change no doubt came as a great shock to the citizens of Stafford, as many of them not only made liberal dona tions, but exercised considerable effort to encourage the new enterprise. The cause of the change was on account of the title to the proposed site, which it is understood was in bad shape.
 It will be remembered that Stafford took the grand lodge by surprise and other applicants for the home lost after an interesting fight, conse- queutly the discovery of flaw iu the title to the Stafford site, gave the opposing members an opportunity to recall their former action in the l matter. As a result of the recon sideration the location of the Odo Fellows home is back where it was year ago, with several of the north ern Arizona towns in the field. The question will be held over until the next meeting of the grand lodge which takes place in Phoeni& nex'

PLAY BALL.
Bisbee and Clifton to Play Three Games
 Saturday and Sunday.

Manager Riley, of the Clifton ball team, kept the wires hot this week until he succeeded in landing the crack Bisbee team for a series of three games, which will be played on the local diamond on Saturday and Sunday of this week. The first game will be called at 3:30 Saturday afternoon, the second game Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, and the third game Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
 This series of games will be the opening of the big season which is now before us, and upon the result of this tournament largely depends future matches with outside teams.
 Every fan should encourage the sport by turning out Saturday and Sunday and assist in swelling the gate receipts to such proportions that the way will be made clear for the bringing in of more fast teams from the outside. The season is now just opening and many of the Ari- zona towns are assembling fast teams and as Bisbee is usually among the leaders they have already made their selection of players to defend their past record in baseball. She now has one of the fastest teams in the terri i tory and the games which are to be played on our diamond should be fully worth the price of admission, which has been fixed at 50 cents.
 The Clifton lineup is now com- plete, Scanlon, the last player, hay ing arrived Sunday evening. With Rigby, Fehrman, Sullivan, Scanlon and three other pitchers, besides a strong aggregation of infelders and outfielders, the visitors will have tc go some if they take any scalps.
 The expense of bringing an out side team to Clifton is no small item and the boys want all of the rooters spectators and critics of Clifton Morenci and Metcalf to come out and see the performance.

A Disastrous Blaze at GiIIiard Springs

On last Saturday evening at o'clock some of the guests at the famous Gilliard resort discovered fire in one of the rooming houses near the main hotel. There was panic for a while and some of the quests rushed out barefooted and half clothed, but fortunately the fire boys were cool and in a short time had the raging flames under control, with only a small loss. The heaviest losers were: MT. Gilliard, the proprie- tor. whose dwelling was a total loss. Baron Wallas, one seal skin coat, value unknown. Colonel Hobbs, a silk vest purchased in Paris, Texas, years ago, which he prized very highly. Commodore Jim Harvey's $ only loss was some valuable "hide" by falling into ditch. Lieutenant Chesser kept cool and dispatched the fire water after the confagration. Fortunately for the Panama Kid, he had all of his trunks stored in the main hotel.
 MT. Gilliard, the proprietor, ar rived in Clifton Monday evening tc adjust his loss with the insurance company and to lay in fresh supply of fire extinguishers.
