daily to many thousands of people,
He was in position OF great influ-
ence and that he used his vast power
for good, as he saw the right, will be
freely granted. BY temperament Mr..
Scott was a conservative and with
age this characteristic became more
marked and often caused him to be
charged with standing in opposition
to progress. But that matters not
now. With reference to political and
economic matters this paper rarely
agreed with Mr.. Scott, The East Ore
gonian has been of different school
and seldom has the Portland Oregon
ian quoted from this paper save to
criticise. However the world would
be uninteresting were everybody Of
one mind and there would be need Of
few newspapers were there not room
for honest differences of opinion.
The beauty OF Mr.. Scott's life con-
dependent spirit and his courage.
According to his biographers he had
obstacles to overcome in his youth
full days and he gained strength and
confidence by mastering them. He
was of unusual native ability yet like
many other men Mr.. Scott grew by
the work he did. He made his paper
a great newspaper and he himself
was strengthened and developed by
the task. Is not this true of all strong
men?
At the time of his death Harvey W.
Scott ranked as one of the ablest edi-
tors of the country and as one of the
last of the "Old Guard" When he
died big man fell and oregon suf-
fered heavy loss.

IT is TIMELY WORK.

In the news that at this time there
are at least six different irrigation
schemes under consideration for this
vicinity there is great hope. 1t is es-
pecially gratifying to know that one
company is now organized and prac-
tically ready for business while other
schemes seem in a fair way 10 be TAX
en- up.
Time and time again the East Ore
sonian has called attention 20 the ne
gligeuce displayed by the people of
this city and vicinity in not taking up
irrigation enterprises. Thirsty lard is
all about us and is producing but
biennial crop and sometimes a light
crop because of drouth while at the
same time 100000 acre feet of water
flows annually down the Umatilla
river and goes to the sea.
From appearances at THIS time the
chidings of the East Oregonian have
not been in vain and if it is a fact that
the utterances of this paper have help
ed wake people up to the importance
Of irrigation in this vicinity then the
East Oregonian will be glad indeed.
or course nothing has been accom-
plished yet and there may be trough
sledding' for some of the projects
that are being considered. But it is
extremely hopeful to know such
schemes are even contemplated. The
fact that farmers are willing to put
up money with which to make pre-
liminary surveys shows they are in
terested in the subject. May their in
terest grow as further investigations
show the actual possibilities open be-
fore them.
That Pendleton people should do
everything in their power to encour-
age irrigation in this vicinity goes
without question. Nothing could be
of greater direct benefit to Pendleton
than to have the lands in this vicinity
watered. This town cannot hope to
go forward except as its tributary ter
ritory is developed and settled. What
Pendieton needs is a closer developed
country Immediately adjoining the
city. improved transportation connec-
tions with its outlying territory and
more industries within the city. ANY
work toward bringing about any OF
these things is work for Pendleton.
Just now we seem to have more to
hope from nearby irrigation than from
any other one source. Here's tc
those who are out to make the dry
fields drink. May they succeed ever
beyond their expectations.

GASOLINE-ELECTRIC CARS.

1t is now evident that gasoline mo-
tor cars, such as the one now used
on the run from Umatilla to Pendle-
ton, and the improved gasoline-elec-
trio cars, are to play an important
part in handling local passenger traf-
fic in the future. According to Elec-
trical Notes some of the more con-
gested districts along the Southern
Railway will be relieved by gasoline
electric cars which will be operated
in place of the old steam trains. Dur
ing the month the steam passenger
service in the Greenville territory will
be replaced with regular gas-electric
motor-car service.
Some time ago the Southern Rail-
way company experimental with the
new gas-electric car produced by the
General Electric company and this
experiment has proven SO successful
that a number of cars will be order
ed for short line service.
The gas-electric car is virtually a
power station and an electric car in
one with space set aside for baggage
In the front end is located a power
full gasoline engine which drives an
electric generator. The electricity
generated in this way is used to drive
the electric motors beneath the car
The car is operated with a simple con-
troller handle with all the ease and
convenience of the common street car.
II can be stopped. slowed down, ac-
celebrated or reversed without starting
and stopping the gasoline engine. A
car Of this type is capable of making
a large number of short stops and still
maintaining its schedule.
The new cars will carry so passen-
gers and their baggage at speed of
40 miles an hour.

ooh, nothing in particular. only l
do wish you'd let me ask you some
questions about statistics"
Certainly, my dear" replied Mr..
Ewing. Anything that I don't hap
pen to know out of my head 1 can
easily look up in the almanac here"
and he placed his hand lovingly on
the volume.
You speaking of useful statistics"
said the woman, "made me think.
What for instance is the size of your
socks?"~
"Why, why, why, you always buy
them for me, my dear" replied her
husband smiling, "and I'm sure
can't say"
what size are my stockings?"
Mr.. Ewing shook his head.
what size are Mary's or Tommy's
What size shoes do they wear? How
many pounds of meat do we need for
dinner? What is the measurement
of Tommy's waist? What"
"Oh, 1 give it up" said Mr.. Ewing,
in disgust. What should l know of
those things? 1 was talking about
real statistics?"
But you said" returned his wife,
that women had no head for figures"

Scenes in the streets of this city
will not only be taken by u moving
picture camera, but shown On tie

ter trimming for several months in
the Ak-Sar- Ben den at Omaha.
This is one of the benefits which
the city will receive as a result of
the Omaha and South Omaha bus
mess men who are coming one
hundred and twenty five strong on
May 18th. They have arranged
with a motion picture camera op-
orator to accompany the special
train and make pictures in every
town and city where the light will
permit. The Onahans have sug-
gested that if a city has any spec
ial drive or trip representative Of
business or surroundings of this
community, arrangements should
be made to take the moving picture
operator to the place immediately
on arrival of the train. Some
towns have arranged to have a pa
rade of school children Others

is the big meeting place Of the Ne.

entertain thousands of visitors ev-
cry summer, beginning in June
and continuing until October. The
films made on this trip will be
shown constantly at the den and
then turned over to an exchange
which has contracted to show them
in the leading moving picture the

IN this city will thus go around a
long circuit and thousands will see
the scenes produced, which will
not be a bad advertisement for any

will take place according to the as
Economical schedule made public sew
eral days ago.
Professor Hussey, of the University

the comet will be visible to the naked
eye for several evenings on the west

the comet last evening near the sun,
but bright moonlight prevented him
from seeing more than a faint out
line of the tail. The head appeared
the same as it did before it passed
the sun.
