DOES NOT LIKE ALBERTA.

Editor East Oregonian:-Having
spent a few weeks looking over the
Alberta section of Canada, have re-
ceived many letters asking my opin-
ion as to climate and adaptabilty as
a farming and stock country. These
letters of injury are mostly from
eastern Oregon people who know that
I have seen the settlement of 'the
northwest from California to Mon
tana and it's developments for the
past so years. Suffice 1t at present
in answer to say that I did not like
the country for stockraising, or as
a wheat producing country. They
have the soil, though the seasons are
entirely too short to mature wheat
the winters too long and severe for
stock raising
In the near future If the f. o. will
allow me ample space in the columns
of the paper, win give p synopsis
Of my conclusions arrived at from my
November trip.

past year was greater than the busi-
ness for any other year in the history
OF the city. This is proof that IN
a commercial sense Pendleton is do
ing well. If Pendleton is not advance
ing as fast as we would like to see
the city go forward at least some ad-
vancement Is being made. 4!
1t was not anticipated that the
postal business for the past year
would show an enormous increase.
The conditions have not been such as
TO justify such an expectation. But
for the future the outlook is certain
| ly bright. The drouth has been
broken. the city has become adjusted
to the change in the status of the
liquor business, the settlement of the
irrigation sections is more than maxi
ing up for the recent exodus from the
wheat section and Pendleton is prom
ised traction system with the other
good things that will follow in its
wake.
1t is now time to squelch firmly
and effectively the pessimistic talk
that has been heard during the past
year and to offset as fully as we can
the ISLANDERS that have gone abroad
regarding Pendleton. The report of
the postal business shows that while
Pendleton may have suffered because
OF adverse winds yet the old ship has
weathered the storm and reached
port in splendid shape. The business
of towns postoffice is very good
index to the commercial prosperity
Of that place and Pendleton's post
office business for 1909 was greater
than for any previous year.
-Pendleton's prosperity is due to the
fact that II is 50 situated that 1t is
the natural metropolis of great re-
gion. The city has been blessed by
nature as have few western towns.
| 1t has a geographical location that is
hard to beat. When improvements
now planned are secured and when
the great territory tributary to Pen
dleton becomes more developed and
local industries become stronger,
/ papdiatop will haoop,a q city In ia cf
as well as in name. Down with
knocking and pessimism. Work and
cheer for progress and for the Great
er Pendleton.

BRIGHT BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

In the business world the outlook
for 1910 is unusually bright. In
Bradstreet's annual review the follow
ing paragraph is devoted to a little
look ahead:
Reasons for confidence in an ex-
eellent, IL not record, trade in 1910
are many The agricultural interest
Is prosperous as never before In the
country's history, and the first of the
great crops OF the year-wheat-en-
ters the winter in excellent condition
or a next-to-record area. High pric-
es for all farm produce would seem
to guarantee enormous paintings of
all crops this year Spring orders al
ready received by jobbers and whole
salers and business booked by manu-
facturers practically insure the full or
overtime now being run until next
years crop and trade outlook takes
more definite form. While it might
be erroneous to expect the record
building expenditures of 1909 to be
exceeded in 1910, an active years
business Is looked for. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that the railroads will
be free spenders for improvements in
the coming year. Finally. If reports
as to holiday and retail buying are
correct, public purchasing power, de-
spite high prices ruling, seems to be
fairly normal. All these things indi-
cate activity in high degree"
The present year will surely be
period Of prosperity for the entire
country and this section of the north
west, being largely devoted to agri-
culture, should be especially blessed
Al this time the sea is smooth and
the winds are favorable. 1t is good
time for Pendleton to raise all sails
and show some speed.

GETTING READY FOR WORK.

In raising $4,000 for the traction
line Pendleton has a good sized task
and it is most gratifying to know that
as the time for work draws near the
local business men and property own
ers are getting together in the mat
ter. Differences of opinion are be-
ing laid aside and the energetic, pro-
xreseiye men of the city are getting
their sleeves rolled up preparatory to
going after the money that is needed.
Until recently there was some oppo-
sition to the Washington-Oregen COM
pany's enterprise. strange as this may
sound. The enmity was shown, by
the most part at least, by people who
did not thoroughly understand the
matter. They had been seriously
8 misinformed regarding the plans and
intentions of the company. Some
people, for reasons best known to
themselves, have apparently made II
: their business to arouse as much pre-
judiee as possible against the new
company.
But the opposition to the traction
line is now melting away and within
a few days there will be nothing left
Of st. There cannot be opposition
when the full facts are made known.
The plan for a traction system with
this city as the base or center OF oper-
alton is so favorable to Pendleton
that il cannot be turned down. Nor
can Pendleton afford to take any
chances by doing its task in a hall
hearted way. The people OF this city
must raise the $4,000 asked for
They should raise it quickly SC
there can be no cry that local people
do not take proper interest in the
matter. The full amount must be
raised in order to make the com.
pany's contract binding upon the
stockholders.
Now is the time for all good citi-
zens TO get behind the traction move
ment. The strong, active support Of
all local business men and property
owners is needed. Merely nomina
or passive support will not suffice
Don't dam the proposition by luke
warm praise. Take off your coat ant
get upon your toes and work will
enthusiasm for the raising Of tn
$4,000. It Is the best work Pen
dleton has ever had to do and the Jol
must be done we'll.

post myself through the columns of
the f, O.. which paper find on. file

in regard to events of eastern Ore
gon. I am greatly Interested in the
liquor controversy and feel that l
have been in position lately to speak
advisedly of different methods of
handling that vexing question. I am
now of the opinion that the most sat
isfactory results have been secured
under the dispensary system. particu-
larly as conducted In Prince Edward
county, Virginia I do not deem 1t ex-
pedient at this time to prohibit the
sale of Intoxicating liquors. nor am
absolutely sure that I favor prohlbi-
tion at any time. I believe that the
retailing of intoxicating liquors is. in
lieu of a better definition. a necessary
evil, and being such I think that the
revenue accruing from such evil be
enjoyed by all the people. who un-
doubtedly- have to suffer from Ill re-
suits. Judging by the results of the
dispensaries I have had occasion to
examine and particularly of the Farm
Vile, Va, dispensary, l would ap-
proximate the profits to Umatilla

$4,000 to $4,000 per annum. prob
