CALIFORNIA'S FIGHT.

Down in California the people are
still working under the old political
system. The state is still boss ridden
and as has been the case for many
years the bosses are controlled by the
Southern Pacific.
But the people are awakening and
it will not be long before California
will follow oregon in the adoption of
a real direct primary system. An at
tempt to get such a law was made
this year and it was partly successful.
In an editorial upon the subject the
san Francisco Star has the following
to say;
"A good beginning has been made
to get a good direct primary law for
California. The Southern Pacific ma
chine has not had everything its own
way. The bill is defective, but it is
a good, long step in the direction of
a real direct primary law. We will
not have a real primary law until the
people have the initiative power. Then
they will do for themselves what they
want done, regardless Of reaction
aries.
1T is, Of course, useless for any one
to say that the Wright bill will free
California Of misrule. It was not
drawn for the purpose Of preventing
misrule. It was not drawn for the
purpose Of preventing misrule by my
party" It is essentially bill for par
ty government rather than for peo-
pies government What the people
want is peoples government and they
will have it,.

THE BUILDERS.

To transform a desert into a gar
den; to build towns on land where in
the past only the sagebrush grew; to
alter the very face of nature so that
mankind may benefit thereby This
is the task that is involved in the rec
lamat.on Of the west end of Umat.lla
county. It is a task that has been un-
der way for several years. It IS be-
ing carried out successfully
Next in importance to the big gov
ernment project the Furnish project
unquestionably ranks. This is espe-
cially true now that a reservoir is to
be provided. The construction Of the
reservoir for the Furnish project con-
stitutes one Of the most important
pieces OF work ever undertaken in
this county. It IS second only to the
building Of the reservoir for the big
Umatilla project.
The announcement that a reservoir
is to be provided for the Furnish pro-
ject should be hailed with gladness
by the people of this county. It
means that upon the lands coming un-
der the project there will be room
for a thousand homes, if not more.
Those myriads of little homes will
make Umatilla county greater
county. They will make Pendleton a
greater city. They will cause Echo,
Hermiston and the new little town OF
Stanfeld 10 grow.
For the men who are tanning the
resert the greatest of credit is due
They are doing a work that means
something. In the history Of this
county the name Of W. ]. Furnish viii
be indelibly written because it was
his foresight and enterprise that
caused one of the county's largest
projects TO be undertaken. DR.. II
w. Coe IS also entitled to a share in
the praise because, so it seems. /:
was his influence largely that caused
the reservoir scheme to be undertak-
en-. These men are entitled to prop
er reward for their industry. For one
the East Oregonian hopes they will
become millionaires 1t also hopes
that every man who settles upon their
project viii prosper to the fullest ex-
tent.

HAIL STANFIELD.

Rome was not built IN a day.
says an old prover6. But then Rome
was built many centuries ago. Since
the day of Remus and Romulus the.
art Of building cities has improved.
greatly. They are now built with
more speed.
In the news columns of this paper
today it is announced that a town is
to be built at Foster station and that
it viii become known as the city of
Stanneld. It is not every day, even
in this western country, that the Gre
alton of a new town can be proclaim
ed. So the East Oregonian regards
the news about stanfield as Of more
than ordinary interest.
How great the city of Stanf.eld will
become the future will reveal. But
that it will become a lively little
burg seems certain. It wiA be the
center of remarkably rich agricul-
ural tract and being such can scarce
ly help going forward.
But whether Stanfield becomes a
big city or remains a modest country
village, its arrival is welcome, The
creation Of the town indicates the de-
velopment Of the western portion of
this country. The reclamation of the
desert land in the west end and the
establishment of new towns in that
section should be encouraged by all
who desire to see Umatilla county
grow in wealth and population.
For the new arrival in the Una
tilla county family the East Orego-
nian bespeaks kind and courteous
treatment 1t hopes that Hermiston,
Echo and Umatilla will not become
unduly jealous of stanf.eld and pick
fight with the new brother before
the latter has chance to get its
bearings.

in coastwise business. The captains
of ships on the northern lakes depend
on us to larger degree than do other
sailors, because we can more accurate
ly predict the velocity of the wind
than we can foretell a storm of rain
which occasionally changes its path
and goes somewhere else. Remember,
that where the pressure of the air Is
greatest upon the earth 1t will flow to
where the pressure is the least-pre-
cisely like water going down stream.
Our instruments of measurement are
so perfect that we can figure out the
velocity OF the wind at certain places
several hours in advance-knowing the
high pressure in one region and the
low pressure elsewhere. We foretell
wind storms on the lakes, while along
the Atlantic Coast we give warnings
about West Indian hurricanes.

of severe storms had been given, our

SOME MARRIED MEDITATI0Ns.
By Clarence L. Cullen.


The average fat woman would rath-
er have you call her murderess than
to say that she waddles.
Money makes the mare CO." but
what member of the mares family goes
out and gets the money?
The woman who essays to hold her
husband by a short-strapped halter
needs first to be pretty sure of her hal

The so-termed intuition" Of women
doesn't prevent a lot Of them from
picking out mere four-hushing grand
stand players as spouses.
Why is it that some married women
sniff contemptuously when they read
about a man who has killed himself
because his wife has refused to re-
turn to him?
Ever notice how, after you've once
told a woman that she has a roseate
mouth, she keeps biting her lips and
twiddllng them with her fingers all
the time to keep EN- red?
When a woman looks mad. when she
hears that song. Il Love My Wife, but
Oh, You Kid" it's fairly safe to con
clude that everything isn't exactly as
1t should be up at her house.
Did you ever suffer a certain whim-
sy little pang over the promptness with
which your normally forgetful wife
reminds you to pay your life insur-
ance dues when the time comes rounds
You may know that woman has
developed elephantiasis of the skypiece
over the imaginary beauties of her
