BRYAN'S POPULARITY.

At Spokane Saturday William j.
Bryan was greeted by crowd so per
cent greater than that which listened
to President Taft and the great Ne
braskan was given a welcome much
warmer than that accorded the presi-
dent. This information has been pub
lished by associated press papers that
bitterly opposed Bryan during the last
presidential campaign. The report
states that despite the soldiery and
other spectacular features attending
the Taft reception in Spokane the
Bryan demonstration was greater and
more enthusiastic than that given the
chief executive.
1t is doubtful if the country ever
had another possessing the personal
ability and brilliancy of Bryan or one
who had a stronger hold on the affec-
tions Of the common people. 1t
should be a source of satisfaction to
Bryan to know that although ne cam
not gain the presidency he is never
theless held in very high esteem by
his fellow-countrymn.

THE TRUTH Is WANTED.

What Pendleton needs to know
about a gravity water system and
about the proposition of an electric
plant in connection Herewith is the
truth. It needs expert information
furnished by engineers who are dis
interested The city can best obtain
this information from engineers en-
ployed by the city. It is not safe to
rely upon data gathered by the North
western Gas & Electric company,
though that data may be entirely ac-
curate.
If Pendleton can obtain water d.
rect from the mountains, say from
the north fork of the Umatilla, then
the city should do so. We would then
have better water than at present
and more of it. But of course the
city cannot get water from the north
fork unless the project is feasible
from a financial as well as from an
engineering standpoint. 1t would be
necessary for the new system to pay
for itself, just as the present water
system is paying for itself, or else
some new method of raising revenue
would have to be devised. 1t would
hardly do to pay for new water
system by increased taxation.
Now Mr.. Strain believes that the
city could install an electric plant in
connection with a gravity system and
that the electric plant would help pay
for the new water system. He thinks
he has good reason for his belief and
al the meeting tomorrow night he may
be able to give the taxpayers some
valuable information upon the SUBJ
iect. On the other hand men who re-
present the sentiments of the electric
company may present some figures
wholly at variance with those in the
possession of Mr.. Strain.
It is probable however that more
information should be secured before
any definite action is taken. If this
should prove to be the case then the
city authorities should be instructed
tn have the subject investigated in all
itg details. While the question is at
issue the whole matter should be gone
over thoroughly and light shed upon
every phase of the subject What we
need is the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth as to the FEAST
biIity Of a mountain water system and
a municipal electric plant. After the
necessary information has been OBJ
tanned then the question can be de-
cided intelligently.

ABOVE THE TIMBER LINE

Below, the winding path lies broad
and green,
With cool, tree-shaded spaces
flecked with light;
Chirpings of birds deep-hidden
from the sight,
Whose fledgling-laden nests the
branches screen,
And murmuring brooks and morning
air serene,
Speak pleasant days and gentle
soft delight
But now the way grows narrow,
and a blight
The thinning trees reveal; the rug
gen mien
OF the bare mountain side looms
sharp in view,
Daring the lofty-souled to brave its
steep.
There, where the keen-eyed eagles
vigil keep,
And ice-glazed trails reflect the
heavens blue,
The worn and eager climber sees
unfurled
A vision of Gods meaning OF the
world.

MAKING READY.

Much dope" is now being circu-
lated regarding the proposed central
bank. Financial experts are filling
magazines with communications up
on the subject in hopes of creating a
sentiment in favor of the idea. The
publicity bureau being operated in be-
half of the central bank follows meth
DDS very similar to those used by the
men who favor a ship subsidy. But
up to this time little if any details as
to the central bank scheme have been
disclosed. The public is first being
"made ready for the dose whatever
il NAV be. 1t is easily possible the
country will refuse to swallow the
medicine for there is much suspicion
as to the real motives of the doctors.

THE FALL FASHIONS.

The st. Louis Post-Dispatch is re-
garded as an able newspaper, but it is
certainly grouchy upon certain mat
ters. It recently had the following up
on the subject Of women's dress:
Clothing will continue to be popular.
Some will wear more than they did
in the summer; one reason for this
being that they could not wear less
without being arrested. Ultra-fash-
ionable women will wear more than
one garment, and it is rumored that
few will even go back to petticoats.
one radical change will be that 1t
will now be possible to tell at glance

whether woman is going from you
or coming toward you.
The new hats will not entirely con-
ceal the face, but will disclose enough
of the features at least to indicate
that the wearer is human being and
not clothing-store dummy.
Women who use brooches and
beauty pins" to fasten their collars
in the back, will, as heretofore, al
ways so fasten the pin that the design
will be upside down.

BRITISH INCOME TAX.

Consul-General John L, Grlffiths
OF London, advises that since the re-
port by Special Agent Pepper on the
income tax laws of the United King
dom some important changes have
taken place. These are outlined by
Mr.. Griffiths:
There has been an increase in the
income tax from the rate OF Is. GA
1-S cents) on the pound ($4S6)
sterling (Which would be at the rate
of per cent to Is. I'd. (2S 1-3 cents).
The increased income tax became
operative on April 6. In addition to
the tax of Is, I'd. there is charged in
respect to the income of any individ-
ual, the total Of which from all
sources exceeds 5000 pounds ($24,-
SS2), an additional duty of income
tax, designated as supertax. at the
rate of 12 cents for every pound ster-
ling of the amount by which the to-
tai income exceeds 5000 pounds
($14,599).
If any individual subject to an in
come tax claims and proves in the
manner prescribed by the income-tax
acts that his total income from all
sources, although exceeding 100
pounds ($77S), does not exceed 500
pounds ($243S), and that he has a
child or children living under the age
of 16 years at the commencement of
the year for which the income tax is
charged, he is entitled in respect of
every such child to relief from in-
come tax equal to the amount of said
tax upon 10 pounds ($4S). The ex-
preston "child" includes a stepchild
but does not include an illegitimate
child.
No abatement, exemption or relief
under the income tax acts, which de-
pends wholly or partially upon the
total income of an individual from
all sources. shall be granted unless
the person claiming the relief is RESI-
dent in the United Kingdom. An eX-
ception is made in this particular as
to persons employed in the services
of the crown abroad, is the income
tax commissioners are satisfied that
the person if not so employed would
be a resident in the United King
dom
The income tax is not payable as
to the interest or dividend of any Sc
curities of a foreign state or British
possession which is payable in the
United Kingdom, where it is shown
to the satisfaction of the commission
ers that the person owning the securi-
ties and entitled to the interest or div
idends is not resident in the United
Kingdom.
It is made the duty of every person !
with a supertaX to give
notice that he is chargeable to the |
special commissioners before Sep
tember 80 in the year for which the |
is chargeable. Penalties are |
prescribed if a person fails to make |
any return or TO give any notice re- |
nuired under the provisions of the in |
come tax acts The penalty is fixed |
at so pounds ($243) and after judg-
ment has been given for that penalty |
a further penalty of 80 pounds ($243) |
is prescribed for every day for which |
the failure continues. If any person /
fails to make the return required by |
law, or to give any notice which may |
be stipulated, or if the return made |
Is not satisfactory to the commits
sioners, they may make an assess
ment of the upertaX according to the
best of their judgment.

Some people contend that the water
taken from the Umatilla at this point
is as pure as that taken up in the
mountains. But according to such
logic the water of the Umatilla would
be best for drinking purposes at the
point where it flows into the Columbia.
1t will be hard to induce householders
to believe in such a theory.

THE COAL OIL OR KEROSENE
LAMP.
The Chemistry Of Fire.

~
Many children are badly burned
and some burned death by blowing up
and by the over turning of coal oil
lamps. When lamp explodes, or is
dropped or knoSkksia. s= s nd broken,
burning oil Is splashed about and the
clothes of persons within reach Of
this liquid FIRE begin to burn upon
their bodies.
All the facts of the chemistry of
fire, and Of explosion as we'll, can be
told in simple story of what occurs
in the light of coal oil lamp. While
the lamp burns the oil slowly disap-
pears, being changed to gases which
cannot be seen. Kerosene, being the
tlinnest of the oils, safe for use in
lamps, is drawn rapidly to the top of
wick.
When a match flame is touched to
the oil in the wick's top it's heat
loosens the atoms of carbon and
hydrogen, of which the oil is made.
They then unite with atoms of oxygen
of the air, for which they have for
which they have5a greater attraction
that they hrye for each other. This
causes a flame.

Atoms That Are Greedy

: II (
Each carbon atom is so greedy that
it seizes two atoms of oxygen from
the air to form carbonic acid, while
each pair Of hydrogen atoms takes
one of oxygen to form water. The
carbonic acid, which is a gas, and the
water in the form Of a vapor are CAR
ried out of the top of the chimney.
Gunpowder and dynamite do not
need air to burn them because they
already contain oxygen. Having
oxygen of their own they can be set
atire by spark and exploded while
shut in gun or cannon. The force
OF an explosion is from the solid mat
ter being quickly changed to gas
which takes UP hundreds of times

The Use Of the Chimney.

current of fresh air caused by the
rising Of heated air within it, to pass
close to the flame, so that oxygen can
i be taken from it. This movement of
4 air Is called a draft.
Light is made by the particles of
carbon becoming white hot before
they are burnt up. The hottest flames
make no light.
Do not try to blow out lamp while
the flame Is high. Doing SO may
break the chimney or force the flame
down into the lamp bowl and cause an
explosion. Turn the wick down I'M
TIL the blaze is half it's usual size, and
then elbow over the chimney's top;
U not down it. To turn the blaze quite
] low and blow into the burner is more
dangerous. If the top of the wick
/ is above the top of the tube when the
lamp is not lighted, oil will be drawn
up and will run down over the lamp.
How Does a Lamp Explode?
The heating Of the brass in the
burner may warm the oil until itgives
off q yapor in the lamp globe. If the
wick is too small to fill the tube the
flame will flash down to this vapor
! and the lamp will blow up.
The screen must be kept open so
the flame can breathe. IL the chimney
is not clear down on the burner, the
/. lamp smokes because the fame gets
too much air. When lamp is turned
too high it smokes because there is
too much fuel for the air supply.
The brass in the burner and collar
should be kept clean and bright 50
that the heat will pass off. Only dirty
burners heat lamps SO as to make
them explode. Whena burner can
::; :: s.. s. .s.sea bright u. shea!a be
thrown away because it is dangerous.
q lamp should not be set in the sun
nor close to q fire, nor hung to the
ceiling over a table on which a. lamp
u used.
~ iMln8 tne Lamp.
In filling lamp, do not take off
the burner near /. another light OF 3
fire. The vapor In the bowl of the
lamp may expand until it reaches q
blaze and explodes. Flaming oil is
then thrown over every one who is
] near. Above all, remember that
filling lamp without first putting it
out Is very dangerous.
When tWo-thirds Of the oil in d
lamp has been used it should be filled
again. Once each week the oil left
sina lamp should be poured back into
the can through apiece of cloth on a
funnel be a Ter 10 clear This is to
remove dirt which has settled to the
bottom.
The Wick

the wick every day When q wick is
halfs burned up = new one should be
