HOPES FULFILLED.
80 .

The most gratifying announcement
made in Pendleton for many months
is the one to the effect that the site
for the new wooden mill has been Sc
lected and that work on the improv-
ed plant will begin at, once
All who have the welfare of Pen
'dleton at heart rejoice at the re-
building of the mill. 1t means much
to the city. For those who are to re-
build the mill and operate it in the
future the people of this city have a
cordial welcome. The Bishops are
business men and manufacturers Of
high standing. Their experience and
ability, coupled with the strong sup
port that has been given their enter
prise by the people of Pendleton,
should assure the success Of the in
dustry
But much, if indeed. not the greater
part, Of the credit for the rejuvena-
ton of the woolen mill belongs to the
people of Pendleton themselves. It
was largely a community affair and
the success of the move shows that
the people of a city, when they get
together under good leadership, can
accomplish much towards forwarding
the development Of their city.
So many were interested in the
work Of keeping the wooden mill here
that it would be difficult to give prop
er credit to all. But from start to
finish G. NJ. Rice and T. C. Taylor
were chief among the leaders in the
work. At the very outset Mr.. Rice
declared his confidence in the ability
Of a wooden mill to make money in
Pendleton. HIS advice gave hope to
others who wanted to see the mill re-
tained and he was largely responsible
for the raising of the $4,000 local
money that was needed. Mr.. Taylor
also was wheel horse" in the work
in behalf Of the mill. He had much
to do with interesting the Bishops
in the enterprise.
Others who helped in the movement
are too numerous to mention. The
list includes the name Of every man
and every business house that went
upon the bond subscription and Of
every man who helped in raising the
local money for the mill
The announcement that the new
mill is now to be built marks the cli-
max Of one Of the best movements
ever undertaken for the advancement
Of Pendleton. In the announcement
the East Oregonian takes especial
pride because this paper strove
through thick and thin to make the
move succeed. When this paper
learned last fall that the old mill was
in danger Of being taken away It
sounded the alarm and implored To-
cal people to prevent such from be-
ing done. Now that this has been ac-
complished and the new mill is all
but here the East Oreponfan conqraf
ulates the business men and property
owners Of Pendleton upon their good
work. For the men who are 10 con-
duct the mill Il wishes the greatest
success.

THE MAGICIAN.

Do you find the office weary-do the
streets seem cramped and mar
row
Do you feel a sort of envy Of the idle,
perky sparrow
Have you lost all care for business
are you tired of chasing dol
lars
Do you feel too tightly swaddled in
your foolish coats and collars?
Don't grow Hurried; don't be worried;
March will take away the sting
It. isn't sickness, just the quickness
stirring in the veins Of spring.
Are you fretful and forgetful of the
things that used to please
you
Have the steamships in the harbor got
a sudden power to tease you
Do you hate the daily farces and abb
hor the well-known places,
And crave for foreign cities, other
lands and alien races
Do you hear the rollers crashing-do
you hear the rivers sing?
Don't go rushing to the doctor; you've
been philtered by the spring.
Is the water front lined with palm
trees-crossed by war canoes
with paddles
Are the dull commuters mobiles rush.

Does the high lines Of the skyline
melt and blend in Orient
beauty
Does the peddles seem a mueZzln,
calling worshlpers to duty
In the pavenent starred with rafsies
from the walls do thrushes
sing?
No, your eyes have not gone dippy-

FEUDALIsM OF TO-DAY.

(By Seth Low, ex-Mayor of New
(York.)
There is in this land today sys-
TEN of feudalism which has under
control the processes of production
and distribution and is just as bind
ing and just as certain a source of
menace to the people as any of the
earlier systems of slavery. You and
are obliged to pay tribute to this
system, which has increased the cost
of living 40 per cent in the last seven
years, during a period when the nee
essaries Of life could be produced and
distributed cheaper than ever before
in the history of the world This
condition of things is fostered by cor

Advice Is Cheap.

advice I am always chary Of" said
Lord Northcote ut is so cheap, so
easy. I remember some years ago
watching a boy pushing a heavy cart
up a hill The hill was steep; the
boy thin. He bent forward at the
work till he was almost horizontal.
Push it up ziz-zag.' I cried, and you
will find it will go much easier The
boy snarled back. Not so much of

DISCOVERED.

The local morning paper has dis
covered" that in the Eastern Oregon
normal school some of the little chill
dren of Weston are given grade in
struction. 1t was frightful disclos-
ure. But if the Tribune would inves-
t!gate the subject it would learn that
all normal schools have training de-
partments. They are as essential to
a normal school as is laboratory to
a medical college.

Government by the people, for which
Abraham Lincoln stood. has come to
be a farce. The great problem of to-
day is to put the people back in pos
session of a stolen government. ABB

ent of the new idea" in politics. Who
will take his place in solving the
problems of today?

When the old north side cemetery
has been transformed into a beauti-

pride in the spot instead of trying to
shun it.

1t would be nice indeed if We could
have a band that would furnish some

CHICAGO, Aug. 30-Although wheat has
again dragged to a lower level the declines
have been slow and talk meanwhile much
more stubborn than anticipated. Bearsh
news is plentiful. Large receipts in northwest,
with predictions Of a big tomorrow at
Minneapolis, heavy receipts southwest, and
very general bearsh sentiment here is the
general report here. The visible supply state
ment showing a decrease OF 900 bushels

ket for time The decrease came from large
clearances Of American wheat through Canadi-
an routes. Cash wheat here has maintained
its premium and supplies here are very
scarce; outside markets have held their own
better for cash wheat than had been ex-
pkected. There has been great deal of
short wheat covered today by individual specu-
lators, and continued selling by the contin-
gent that was active the buying side OF
wheat during the last crop year.
Corn has shown weak tone particularly
foi near deliveries, and even weaker for cash.
Larger interests among the elevator concerns

have been working from buying side.
oats have not moved far in either direc-
ton. Pit scalpers have generally been bear

selling. Cash interests have not sold very
