HINDERING DEVELOPMENT.

Those who are opposed to the con-
servation policy are continually, charg-
ing that conservation would block de-
velopment work. Such organs as the
Portland Oregonian contend that only
through the giving of free rein to
corporations may the resources of the
country be brought into use.
Very we'll, let us take a look at the
Umatilla river. This stream, from
Pendleton to its source, is controlled
by the Byers' milling company. At
least such control is asserted. Title to
this stream was secured free of cost
: through an act of congress. By the
terms of that act SO it is said, the
milling company has absolute sway
over the river. No one, nor even the
city. may take water from the river
for household purposes without first
settling with the company. Water
NAV not be taken from the river to
irrigate land lying along side the
stream between Pendleton and the
foothills. No other concern may step
in and utilize the river for power
purposes, despite the fact that the
Byers company develops but COM
paratively little power from the river
The river belongs to the company
1t can use 1t or not, Just as it sees
fit
Now this is not an attack on the
Byers company. Understand that.
For the late C. W. Byers the East
oregonian always had much respect
He was a far seeing and capable
milling man. He merely acted as
other prudent business men would
have acted had they been in his po-
sition. He found it possible to "ac
quire" the Umatilla river and he did
II.
lows such proceedings as this? Is
II right that one man or one company
should obtain control of a river that
is really the birthright of all the
people Of this section? Is it good
business policy for the government to
permit such practices as this? Ger
tainly not.
Now the conservation policy looks
to avoiding Just such abuses as this
Under observation no corporation
could obtain perpetual control Of
any stream. 1t could merely use II
for term Of years and would have
to pay a reasonable fee. II could
not hold a power site without using
It. Had the conservation policy been
in effect during past years the UNA
tilla would not be "corralled" as It
is at present. Its power possibilities
would have been developed. Pendle-
ton would probably have a half dozen
Touring mills where It now has but
two.
Yet the howl il continually made

A THANKFUL SOUL.

I care not how the wild wind blows
On the land or foaming sea;
l know somewhere. there's a bright
sweet rose
That blooms in the dark for me.
And the dark may creep,
And the storm may sweep,
But l thank the Lord as I sow and
reap.
1 care not how the world rolls on,
For the birds sing in the tree,
And | know, somewhere, there's Il
rosy dawn
In a round, blue sky for me.
So the dark may creep
And the storm may sweep,
But / thank the Lord as l SOW and
reap.
For only a little, day by day.
The light of star or sun,
The smile Love gives me ~ cheer my
way
The kiss when the day is done.
SO, the dark may creep,
And the black storm sweep,
But | thank the Lord as 1 sow and
reap.

There was a cut glass punch bowl

GIVE HEED TO THE GALL.

Pendleton has a good reputation
as convention city Many gather
ings of statewide Importance and
some of greater moment still have
been held here in the past. Usually
Pendleton takes steps to properly en-
tertain those who come to the city.
A year ago the knights of Pythias
and the Pythian sisters We're here.
They were entertained with fitting
courtesy and every representative
went home praising the hospitality
of Pendleton. When the state wool
growers association met here last
fall an effort was made to make the
visiting sheepmen feel at home, The
effort was not in vain.
on the twenty-second oay of this
month Pendleton will have the hon.
or of entertaining what will likely
prove the largest convention ever as
senblcd within the city. For the In
land Empire teachers convention
Somewhere between 500 and 100 peo-
pie will be present Most of those in at
tendance will be ladies. This fur
nishes an additional reason why To-
cal people should look to their well
fare and to their entertainment.
At this time we'll organized CON-
m!ttee is at work preparing to ac'
commodate the teachers convention
and to provide suitable entertain.
luent features for the gathering. As
first step it is desired to list enough
rooms so that those who come ma!
be provided with rooming accommo
dations Immediately upon their arri
val and without trouble to them
selves. In order to do this it viii
be necessary for local householder
to open their doors to the teachers
The regular hotels and roomini
houses will not be adequate for tn
occasion. SO the call has gone fortl
for assistance and it merits a gen
erous response. Upon the hospitalit
local people are willing to show fl
this respect will depend much of tn
coming conventions success.

The shades of night are falling fast

He did not bear through snow and ice
A banner with a strange device
Nor did he roar "Excelsior!'

Which was to gain the mountains

Behind him on the weary jog
There toiled faithful blond stenog;
Likewise there puffed not'ry pub.
Provided by the Alpine club,
Who saw the Climber did not cheat,
And swore him every thousand feet,
Roped by a yodeling Alpine guide,
The trio scaled the mountain side.
At dawn the Climber topped the crag
And waved the Climbers union flag;
Dictated to the blond stenog
The final entries in his log:
Made affidavit, "S'help me Bob"
That he had gained the mountains
mob;
And Bill, the guide, to make things
sure,
Was witness to his signature.
"That ought to hold the show me

THEY HAVE DONE WE'LL.

Officials of the o. r. & n. COM
pany have good reason to feel
proud of the record made by the
Oregon line during the past few
weeks. Though the snowfall of the
winter was almost unprecedented and
the slides and washouts following the
breakup have demoralized nearly all
the railroads of the west the o. R. &
n. has continued to take its trains
through almost on schedule time. The
Washington division has been out Of
order it is true. But on the main
line of the o. R. & n. company the
service rendered has been most
credible. Not only has the o. R. & n.
been able to handle its own business
but it has been able to take care of
the Southern Pacific trains as well.
The situation is a powerful tribute to
the efficiency of the organization Of
which General Manager ]. P. O'Brien
is the head.

FEW SUPERVISORS
GET A BAD REPORT

Washington, Jan. 11.-Al but four
or five OF the S2s supervisors OF census
appointed by President Taft viii be
favorably reported to the senate. The
census committee, of which Senator
La Toilette is chairman, met today and
decided upon this action. Several
cases OF nominations OF supervisors
not ordered reported resulted from
protests filed with the committee by
senators. In each Of these instances
a hearing will be held by the subcom-
mittees.
There has been some criticism over
the delay in acting upon these nomi-
nations as they were sent In by the
president Dec. 2. 1t was explained to-
day that the delay was merely the
result of difficulty in getting full
committee meeting, and that as the
supervisors were all at work no harm
had resulted.
