story of Baldur. an elf called the

to be worried by strange dreams and
was afraid someone might hurt him.

OLD HEADS REVISE TARIFF.

An interesting feature Of the tariff
legislation IS the fact that old heads
most of them beyond the age when
men are retired from the army and
navy and by great employers for in
capacity due to their years, aDe doing
the real work. They have the sa7
gacity in management, the grasp OF
thousand details and the strength to
Withstand a crushing burden Of work
that is usually associated with men or
only half their age. The record that
has been made by the patriachs en-
ables venerables generally to point
with pride to the achievements of
their kind and makes a joke of Os-
lerism.
In the house the strongest influence
ir the preparation of the tariff bill
was welded by Uncle Joe" Cannon
and by Serene E. Payne chairman Of
the ways and means committee. I'm
Gle Joe was pioneering in Indiana and

fant, had barely come to the notice
of man. Uncle Joe, who is one Of the
big men in this large and luminous
proposition, was 7S years of age a
few days ago. Payne is 66 years old
and bore without complaint or sign
or distress the grinding work Of 16
hours a day for several months while
preparing the classic array Of words
and figures TO wh!Sh Mr.. Aldrich and
others are now doing things in this
senate. One of Payne's exploits was
the making Of a two days speech
when he submitted the creation of
his labors - the house.
1t is conceded that in the senate
Aldrich is the dominant influence so
far as the tariff and most other
things are concerned He is 6S years
old. and Senator Hale Of Maine, who
"a his chief assistant, has lived 73
years. julius Caesar Burrows Of

the bill, is 70 years Of age. knute

Churches Built of Salt.

London. Eng.-The salt mines at
Norwich contain some wonderful nov
elites in the way of unique apart
ments cut in pure salt. but the most
interesting salt mines in the world
are at Wieliczka, in Galicia. Here is
to be seen the most extraordinary col
lection of streets, houses, churches
and monuments, some of which are
1000 years old.
st. Anthony's chapel, one of the
finest pieces of work in the mine, was
hewn by a miner some 200 years
ago out of a massive block of rock
salt The altar has twisted columns
and carved praying monks kneel on
the steps. over the altar being a hugs
cricifix and a statue of the Virgin,
while in the various chapels are to
be found smaller altars
The next important apartment is
the great dancing hall. which is hung
with chandeliers carved from crystal
salt in 1914 in honor of the visit of
the Car of Russia to the mines. The
effect of the light glistening on the
brilliant crystals resembles more a
gorgeous court scene than the interior
Of a mine. Another famous hall is
the Michalowice. which is 81 feet long,
81 feet wide and los feet high. with a
colossal chandler feet in diameter,
containing 200 candles. Passing
through other beautiful halls one
reaches the Crown Prince Rudolph
Grotto, where the lights and white
carvings are reflected in the water of
an underground lake. From the CEN
ter of the water rises a statute of rock
salt, surrounded by fir trees and stall
actites-

THE FIRST TEST.

When the first tariff bill has been
passed and goes to the white house
President Taft will face his first great
test. In passing upon the tariff bill
he will have to Judge between a very
concrete element on one hand and
what seems almost like an abstrac-
ticn on the other He will have to
fudge between the interests that pro-
fit by protection and the people who
suffer from that course. What makes
the situation harder for him is the
fact that those who will really suffer
are making no cry while the air Is
filled with the moans OF those who
are afraid they will be left out Of the
protection band wagon.
In recent issue Of Golfers, Mark
Sullivan summarizes the tariff situ-
alton very we'll in the following:
Upward march the tariff rates.
Washington is crowded with the pow
erful and those who have taken the
shilling Of the powerful. Senator Al
drich tells the naked truth when he
says that ninety-nine Of hundred Of

HERNuSTONIANS.

Today the people of Hermiston are
celebrating strawberry Day" How
remarkable l. seems. But a few years
ago the land upon which the town OF
Hermiston stands was nothing but a
waste of sand and sage brush. Now
it is the scene of a joyous festival and
people are eating strawberries, raised
in abundance upon this former des-
ert. The incident merely shows what
may be accomplished when water is
united with the land in this western
country. But the result is not due
to the land and water alone. A pow
erful human element enters into the
proposition. To make garden out of
desert like that of the west end re-
quires hard and patient work on the
part of courageous men and women.
There are many such people in the
Hermiston country and they are do
ing their work well. Here's to them
and to their children. May they keep
their nerve in spite of petty hard
ships and may they all live to enjoy
the full fruit of their labor and to
laugh in scorn at those who doubt

WORKERS AND KNOCKERS.

In Pendleton and in every town
under the sun there are apostles of
pessimism-men who have become
soured because of one reason or an
other and to whom the outlook seems
dark. The worst thing about these
men is that they like to air their
troubles and incidentally knock the
town.
To these men everything seems
gloomy. If some bedraggled show
troupe fails to draw packed house
they conclude that Pendleton is lack
ing. They overlook the fact that the
town, from theatrical point Of view,
has always been and still is one of
the most important places in the
northwest. If one of, these men sees
a vacant room or a vacant house he
concludes that the city has lost its
grip. He will not be comforted by
the fact that the city now has more
building operations under way or pro-
posed for the immediate future than
il has had at any one time in the past
five years, If not in the history of the
city. He can find no comfort in the
construction of the new woolen mill
the new depot and other buildings.
Nor do other signs of progress and
prosperity ever catch his eye.
But then there is little use in both
ering about the pessimist. In this
city there are more patriotic energet-
ic workers than there are knockers
The rank and file of the local people
know that the town is alright now
and will be alright in the future. If
there is anything wrong they will
make it right. In the work they are
doing they will not stop because of
the pessimist's doleful song. Towns
are built by men Of courage and
cheer. never by the knockers bril-
gade.

This city is happily gifted with some
good financiers ON its administrative
board as in several years past, 50 that
the city without perceptible effort is
being brought around to the point where
we shall soon be able to laugh at money

if the occasion requires. The budget for
the next year, as printed in to-day's
paper, while calling for a largely in
creased expenditure over last year, is
nevertheless nothing to be concerned
asout, for in the years past we have,
by virtue Of the @old lady's stocking"
