PAY ENOUGH?

tow-priced things are not always
cheap. Low prices are sometimes
dearly bought. There's such a thing
as "extrayagant economyo-whicll
means saving on the price at the cost
of quality. We sell good, wholesome
qualities in all our manufactured
food products just as low as it is pos:
sible to sell them. We won't sell the
other kind at any price. Foods that
come directly out of the ground can
be pretty accurately judged by any
housewife But the hands Of man
get chance to adulterate and deceive
in manufactured goods, and in these
you must depend upon us to select for
you. We can guarantee the following
to be unexcelled in quality and extra
low in price:

AN OPPORTUNITY.

Here is a suggestion for property
owners who are directly interested in
the advancement of Pendleton. Aid
in getting large land owners in this
vicinity to colonize their tracts as is
to be done with the oliver place. If
necessary form stock companies for
the purpose of financing realty deals
along this line.
Up at Athena a group of local men
took charge of such an undertaking
as this and they are meeting with the
best of success. Upon a ranch that
previously provided a home for but
one family they will locate dozen
families or more.
The same thing may be done in the
vicinity of Pendleton and in other
parts of the county. According to
reports there are many who will sell
their ranches, but do not want to sell
them piecemeal. This difficulty
should be easily overcome. There is
money to be made in the colonization
business and it should not be hard
for realty men to induce local capital
lists to help hem break up the big
ranches.
To the East oregonian it seems
that the salvation Of Pendleton and
of the other towns of this county
depends upon the closer settlement of
the county. Furthermore the time
is ripe for a closer settlement. There
is more money in small farming than
in bonanza farming. But small farm
ers cannot buy big ranches and pay
the cash for them. In order to break
up the big tracts the services of "other
parties are needed. Companies
should be formed to take over the big
ranches and sell the land on terms
that will place it within reach of peo-
pie of limited means. Is this not so?

Postoffice Proves Prosperity.

Washington An increased wave
of prosperity is sweeping over the
United States, according to that usu-
ally acurate barometer of prosperous
conditions-the gross postal receipts.
The receipts at fifty of the largest cit
it's for the month of March last show
an increase over the same month last
year of $1,17S,921, or 1880 per cent,
the normal rate of increase being
about five per cent. Similar state
ments show increases for January last
of 6.O9 per cent, and for February of
4.73 per cent, over the same months
of last year.
Postmaster-Genera Hitchcock de-
clares that while the boom in the bus
mess of the department Is very graft
flying to him, 1t will not materially re-
duce the anticipated deficit for the
fiscal year.

TURNING THE TABLES.

He was a terribly short" man, but
he knew a real live business woman
when he saw her. She was applying
for situation as confidential clerk
and typist, and he turned upon her
a rapid fire of questions:
Talk slang?"
"No, sir"
"Know how to spell cat and dog
correctly?"
Eyes, sir"
Usually tell everybody in the of
flee how much the firm owes and all
the rest of the private business you

He was thinking of something elsv
to ask her when she took a hand in
the matter and put few queries:
Smoke cigars when you're dictat-
ing?"
"Why-er-no!" he gasped in as
tonishment.

is bad?"
Think you know enough about

pears by this pamphlet that Williams
port is city of but $4,000 people,
situated in a county having a popu-
lation of but $4,000. This little city
entered upon its publicity campaign
in December, 1900, and the first step
taken was to raise guaranty fund
for publicity purposes of $215,000,
with payments to be extended over
five years. The whole amount was
raised and expended, and the results
obtained were so gratifying that on
December 4, 1905, a new 5-year con-
tract of similar nature was promptly
executed by the business men of the
city, guaranteeing the sum of $461,-
600, to be expended during the sue
ceeding five-year period.
The fact that such vigorous pub
licity work is being carried on back
in the conservative east shows that
good results may he obtained from
consistent advertising.
Compared with what this Pennsyl-
yania town is spending for publicity
the petty $4,000 desired for the UNA
lila county publicity bureau seems
ike the small end of nothing. Yet
here are some who believe that it
would be eXtravagant for this county,
With its 5000 square miles of territory
md its vast undeveloped resources, to
spend a few thousands upon inviting
new people into the county.

ENGLISH POLITENESS.

The expression thank y1S" is much
more current in England than in Am
erica. 1t is also used W., -uch Wild
er significance often as the equiva-
lent of 81 beg your pardon" For in
stance, an English person passing be-
fore another, or perhaps jostling one
or even treading on his foot, will say
in apology, Thank YOU The phrase
is heard constantly. If salesman in
a shop, or newsboy . ,he street,
solicits your custom and you refuse it,
he will say thank you. quite as
cheerfully as If you mac. = purchase.
There is a difference in tho utterance,
too. The English emphas-ze the sec
ond word very strongly, and finish
with a rising infection, as is asking
a question. An American is recog-
nized at once by his accenting the
word thank" and closing with the
falling nflection.-Travel Magazine.

THE ETERNAL sQUABBLE.

Reports from Washington state
that as far as their representatives in
congress are concerned both political
parties have been cleft in twain by
the discussion of the tariff. Certain
it is that during the past few weeks
the strife has not been along party
lines. The most spirited opposition
to the proposed Aldrlch tariff has
been that led by Dolliver, La
Toilette and other liberal repub-
licans. Some democrats are list
ed with those who will vote for
the revision upward" bill. 1t is al
ways this way when the tariff is un-
der consideration.
The situation merely shows once
more that the tariff is local rather
than a partisan issue. Regardless Of
their political faiths, senators and
representatives want to protect the
interests of their respective states. 1t
is entirely natural that they should
But the regrettable feature about the
matter is that in representing the
Interests" of their respective states,
senators and congressman do not rep
resent their entire constituencies. The
element to gain by protective duties
Is often small, while those who would
profit by lower duties are numerous.
The consumers, who profit by low
tariffs, are more numerous than the
producers, who want high tariffs,
and they are as much entitled to
representation.
But the producers are more directly
interested in the matter and they are
organized. Whereas the consumers
have but a general concern and sell
dom act in unison. so it Is not re-
markable that senators and repreSen-
tatives listen to the appeals Of the
former. They will do so until the
consumers get together and make the
same vigorous fight that the pro-
ducers now wage Occasionally this
is done now, as in the case of the
Chicago ladies who iobbied against
the tariff on hosiery and gloves. But
such efforts are usually spasmodic
and count for little.
A better way to secure equitable
tariff schedules would be to leave
the matter to a tariff commission. An
honest, capable commission, having
at its command ample time and ample
means for investigation would be able
to draft far better tariff than can
congress. There are many who now
favor the creation Of tariff COM
mission and some day the plan may
be, tried.

TIME FOR ACTION.

How much longer is this city 60
ing to do without park facilities?
Within the city limits are several
public tracts that may be easily con-
verted into attractive little outdoor
resting places. Yet month after
month and year after year passes
away without anything being done.
To the East Oregonian It seems that
IL Is time for action and for prompt
vigorous action. Why cannot the city
council appoint park commission,
or a park committee and get busy at
once upon the improvement Of the
old north side cemetery and the i'm
provement of the old academy
grounds on East Webb street? There
is money for new bridges and other
improvements there should be money
for this purpose.
Possibly the city government is
waiting for the ladies' clubs to raise
money for this work by popular sub
scription But everything cannot be
done by subscription and the ladies
only recently gave their good services
in behalf of the library. This paper
believes that should the city council
or the mayor, appoint park COM
mission and appropriate money for
the Improvement Of the parks the ac-
ton would meet with universal ap-
proval.

Iarge Profits In Cotton.

Washington.-Men interested in the
cotton schedules put some very start
ling facts before members of the sen,
ate. Brokers' statements have been
collected showing that the fine cotton
goods manufacturers of the East de-
clared dividends Of from 80 to 60 per
cent in 1907, and an average dividend
Of about 20 per cent in the last ten
years. This is claimed to be far
greater profit than was ever enjoyed
by the manufacturers of cheap cot
ton goods.

GENERAL WESTON
DECIDES TO REMAIN
Takes Command of Department
of California Upon His
Arrival Here
This Means That Changes Will
Follow Among Coast
Commanders

Major General j. f. Weston arrived
yesterday morning from the Philippines
and at once took command of the de-
partment of California. While he did
not go to department headquarters to
issue his first order. he summoned the
adjutant general, Colonel w. A. Simp-
son, to his apartments at the Hotel
Stewart and there issued Instructions
General Weston will formally re-
celve all the officers of the department
at headquarters at 10 o'clock this
morning.
General Weston is far from being
in good health. and it was for this rea-
son that the belief got abroad that he
would come to this post for a short
period and then ask the war Depart
ment to send him on leave. When the
general arrived. however. he announced
that he had no thought of going on
leave. He said that he would assume
command of the department and re-
main at this post until the war depart
ment chose to send him to another
command.
Brigadier General F. A. Smith, who
was commander of this department,
has received no word from Washington
as to what post he will be sent, and
temporarily he Is placed on waiting
duty.
Weston's decision to remain also up
sets the plans of General Charles Nor
ton. who has been ordered TO the coast,
and General d. Fl. Brush, who is in
command of the department of the
Columbia.
AS General Smith will have a choice
of stations. the changes caused by Cen
eral Westons stay here will be far
reaching.
The reception given to General
Weston yesterday morning when the
Sheridan arrived was of an informal
character. Those on the Slocum who
went out to meet the commanding officer
were General f. A. Smith, Captain
Christie, Colonel r. r. Stevens, Major
w. A. Bethel, Colonel w. L. Finley,
Colonel j. B. Bellinger and General
Jesse W. Lee.
General Weston is accompanied by
his wife and his two daughters, Miss
Marie and Miss Kathleen Weston

CAMP PAIGN STARTED
TO STOP TRUANCY
Board of Education to Take
Drastic Measures to Compel
Attendance at Schools
Mrs. Sarah B. CoOns Wins Fight
for Seniority in the Adams
Cosmopolitan

The board of education is to take
more drastic measures to insure the
presence in the classroom of all those
boys and girls who are obligated by
the compulsory education law to at
tend school. A campaign is about to
be inaugurated that will free the
streets of the young truants. Chief of
Police Cook has responded to the ap-
peal and has detailed three extra of
icers to act as truant officers. The
statutes bearing on compulsory educa-
tion will be placed in the hands OF
the captains and lieutenants of the
police department to be read to each
watch, The directors say that there are
probably more than 1000 children out
of school who have no reason for
their absence.
The claim of Mrs. NJ. A. Doughty to
the seniority of the teaching force in
the Adams cosmopolitan school was de-
MED and the rival claim of Mrs. Sarah
B. Coons was acknowledged TO have
the merit of the general rules of the
board.
A resolution was passed recommend
ing an early conference between the
finance committee of the board of edu-
cation and the finance committee of
the board of supervisors to discuss the
matter of eduipping new schools out
of moneys voted in the bond issue for
the construction of schools.
Because of their failure to report for
duty Miss Cecilia Friedlander, Frank
Barrett. Mrs. B. J. Goodfriend and Leo
Morgan were dismissed from the de-
partment.
Leaves of absence were granted to
Harriet E. Gray. r. f. Morgan and L.
" Morgan. Miss e. B. Woodland was
transferred from the Adams Cosmopoli-
tan school to the Jean Parker; Miss
Elisa McKinne from the unassigned list
to the Hawthorn school, vice Miss Eliza
Keith; Miss Anita E. Casey from the
Horace Mann to the Washington gram
mar: Mrs NJ G. Coyle from the un-
assigned list to the Franklin grammar,
and Mrs Bessie NJ. Bell from the unas-
signed list to the Munroe school. The
resignation of H. r. Painton as a
teacher was accepted. John S. Drew,
a teacher of the Humboldt evening
school. was placed on the unassigned
list, and w. f. Blake appointed in his
place.
President Joseph OiConnor appointed
a committee consisting of Directors
Hayden, Mrs. Kincaid and Oliver to in
vestigate and report on all applications
for leaves of absence.
