Dill Lee, who was commander-in-
chief of the Confederate organization
at the time of his death.

that General Lee won his spurs as a
dashing and intrepid commander,
and the last years of his life were de-
voted to the perfection of the great
national park here. General Lee
died at Vicksburg May 9S, 1908, and
it is peculiarly fitting that the South's

erected on the spot which he loved

FOR new ROAD FROM PAUKERSBURG
TO CHARLESTON.

Charleston, w. Va, June 8.
For the purpose Of constructing
railroad from Charleston to Parkers-
burg, the Charleston & Northeastern
Railway company was yesterday is
sued charter by the secretary Of
state. The enterprise is backed
principally by local capital and while
nothing as to the plans Of the COM
pany has been given out, those con-
nected with it declare they mean
business. Though the capital is only
ST. 900 this will be increased as soon
as the company gets ready to begin
work.
Just what route will be taken for
the new road has not been announced
except that it will run through the
Roane county oil field by the most
direct route to Parkersburg, cutting
the distance between the capital and
the Wood county seat about half of
the present distance by rail.
Several surveys have been made
through that territory, one of them
being at Two Mile, across to Sissons-
vile, thence to the Roane county oil
field and on by the most practicable
route to the Ohio river just below
Parkersburg. Several roads have
proposed to build lines to connect this
city with the Roane county field, in
Guiding the Coal & Coke and the
Kanawha T. West Virginia.
A road such as is proposed by the
new company would mean much to
Charleston and the western part Of
the state, as it would bring the capt.
tai much closer to the northern part
of the state, besides opening up the
rich agricultural and oil territory of
the counties between here and Par
kersburg.

ual need, both in the grades and in
the college classes, was explained.
One of the needs which was brought
forcibly to the attention of the trus-
tees was the lack of a suitable build
ing for the music department. This
department has grown so in numbers,
and in general interest and has such
a splendid field of usefulness that it
demands a specially planned building
with auditorium, studios and practise
rooms, well equipped with pianos and
musical instruments.
The subject of the library was pre-
sented as follows:
l. The Library as a Source of Gull
ture, by Mr.. D. L. Oleson.
>. The Library as a School Adjunct,
| (a) Guiding and Directing Children s
Reading, by Miss W. P. Whine; (b)
| Kind of Books to Give Children, pre-
pared by Miss s. NJ. Sheldon and read
| by Miss A. F. Johnson; (c) The Co
| operation of Teacher and Library, by
| Mrs. I. NJ. Cox.
3. The Library and the Community,
| by Mr.. E. J. Reece, Librarian
The emphasis in the papers was plac-
! ed on the right principles that should
govern the choice ana use of books
and more specifically, on the best meth
DDS of inducing children to read the
books which will make a permanent
appeal to them.
The paper of Mr.. Reece outlined the
policy that should be pursued in the
relations of the library to the com
munity. 1t was striking presenta
tion of the opportunity for service and
of a plan by which that service car
be performed.

The seventh annual joint meeting of

features, the meeting was given over
TO reports by President Griffiths and
Principal Fits on the work and prog

discussion on the library and its new
significance in the work of the school.
The statistical reports showed that
there has been steady growth in at

has the largest registration In It's his
tory. Not the least pleasing part OF
this showing was the fact that the
record shows much Improvement IN

high standard has largely contributed
to this. One of the significant points
brought out in the figures was that
thirty seven children from the school
have left the Territory permanently
and that twenty-five children, new in
the Territory this year, have registered

at the fact that twenty-five students

NOT ASHAMED.

"Now that we have the wooden mills
secured and the normal school bill
disposed Of satisfactorily, the readers
Of a certain paper will wonder what
new subject will be worn to an edi-
torial frazzle," says the local morn
ing paper.
But this is taunt that does not
hurt The East Oregonian has no
apologies to make for the work it has
done in behalf Of the wooden mill and
in behalf OF the Eastern oregon nor
NAL school. It is proud Of the part
t has taken, especially since it knows
that its efforts were effective. This
paper helped nightly in Keeping the
woolen mill in Pendleton. It's influ-
ence has also helped block the at
tempt to kill the normal schools OF
the state.
There are other things also this
paper would like TO see accomplish
ed. It would like to see the Cello
portage road completed. The East
Oregon,an has used its influence to
that end while the morning paper has
allowed itself TO become a tool for
the interests that oppose the improve
ment
Then this paper wants to see the
Commercial club remOdeled and
placed upon a better working basis
It wants to see the farmers Of this
county adopt the best methods 50 that
the country can be more thicBly peo-
pied and land values made greater.
For all Of these things and others
the East Oregonian has worked in the
past. It will do so in the future, re-
gardless Of any jibes its Jealous, bot
tle-fed rival may have in store.

FOLLOW HIM.

In American history two names
stand out from among all the rest
They are those Of Washington and
Lincoln. Because Of the positions they
occupied at crucial times and the
way in which they filled them, these
two have become the pre-eminently
great characters IN our national life.
As yet there has been no third. There
may never be.
Today the United States is honoring
the memory of Lincoln. Thousands
Of eulogies are being delivered re-
garding him. Scores Of schemes for
perpetuating his memory are being
proposed But in a way it is all
cheap and needless.
The United States of America
stand as a memorial to his greatness
He embodied the force that kept the
nation alive. As long as this ma
tion endures as free republic it
will be a constant tribute to his life
and work
The best way to honor the memory
Of Lincoln IS for every citizen Of this
republic TO work with earnestness and
courage to keep this "a government
Of the people, by the people and for
the people" II would be a farce to
build costly monuments in mis- mem
ory and then forget his teachings.
There are some who believe that
this country has no serous modern
dangers. But there are. There are
men who, If they could, would turn
our government into an oligarchy.

There are interests that know not the
