Railroads viii be built in every di-
rection in Oregon during the next two
years. This is the statement ema-
mating from sources close to James j.
Hill 1t is fine news for Oregon and
especially for the eastern part of the
state. The building of the roads
through the interior should help every
part of eastern Oregon. Every Sec
ton cannot be reached by the trunk
lines, yet branch lines viii doubtless
be built to sections removed from the
main lines. To the East Oregonian ii
seems that the building of the east
and west road shou6 hasten the con-
struction of a line southwark from
this city through the Grant county
territory After the east and west
road has been constructed wont line
be needed connecting the new line
with the o. r. & n. and the Northern
Pacific at this point? If such a line
is built then this city wifi reap much
benefit from the building of the east
and west road. A railroad into Grant
county is one of Pendleton's. foremost
needs.

SHIRTW AISTS.

Ten years ago, at any rate, the most
elaborate waists to be bought in Paris
in the rue de la Paix, cost forty dol
lars. l bought for thirty dollars
waists that were so ultra elaborate as
to be conspicuous upon any but spe-
cial occasions, and 1 got at the same
time number of waists at eight dol
lars apiece that We're good enough
for any occasion, and with linen
skirt in the summer were more than
ordinarily smart
Last year the most elaborate waists
of the rue de la Paix cost as high as
500 to s125-waists that We're then
no more remarkable for their elabora-
ton than were the forty-dollar waists
ten years ago. Yet-and note this
particularly-one may today in Paris
buy the identical waists that were for
sale ten years ago, at the identical
prices; but with the change in fashion
has come corresponding change in
the use to which the same garment
is put. The tight-dollar waist, for in
stance, could be worn very well to-
day, but scarcely without supple
file or jabot. Ten years ago it was
Worn plain, exactly as it was bought
The thirty or forty-dollar waists of
that same period would be very pret-
ty today. but one would wear them
where the eight dollar waists were
worn before, in order to be dressed at
about t.l- same degree of smartness.
1t is Illuminating to compare these
elaborate waists of ten years ago
with a blouse now used in the same
way. A certain forty-dollar one ten
years ago for instance, had a plastron
of very fine English embroidery on
the front, a real Valenciennes lace COL
lar, and insertions of Valenciennes in
the yoke and in the long cuffs of the
sleeves. But the sleeves above the
elbow and the back of the waist were
perfectly plain, except for few tucks.
In the last modern blouse 1 happened
to see the waist-front, back, sleeves
had the Valenciennes lace set in,
making it a lace and linen material,
And then the whole waist was almost
covered with great masses of embroid-
cry as fine as that used for mono
grams Another blouse was not made
of linen at all, but of net-lace foun-
dation-upon which was appliqued a
lot of embroidery on null, and old
Italian lace. Very beautiful, very
costly and SO perishable that it would
tear like burnt paper. Both of these
waists were to be worn under a cloth
coat regarded as shirtwaists, treated
as shirtwaists, but were quite without
a shirtwaist's utility. One hundred
and fifty dollars marks the most ex-
aggerated price for bouses, but this
means no more in relative elaboration
than did a forty dollar waist ten or
fifteen years ago-Emily Post, in the
! June Everybody's.

times of need. Some gave up their
lives on the altar Of patriotism. The
others were ready to do so. 1t is fit
ting that once each year people should
stop for moment to honor the me-
mories Of such men as these. It is a
proper thing to place flowers on the
graves Of the soldier dead and to
speak in words Of praise of those who
have passed away. Such acts show
gratitude for the services rendered by
the departed veterans. The nation that
is not willing to pay tribute to hel
fallen defenders is scarcely entitled tc
have such defenders. This year Pen.

THERE WILL BE "DOINGS." :"

That Roosevelt is in sympathy with
the fight of the insurgents against
Cannonism seems plain from facts
that have been revealed. Will the ex-
president take up with the general
program of the progressivein insurgent
element within the republican party
If he does he will be a valuable ally.
At this time it looks like the next
presidential campaign will be pre-
republican party for the control of
that party. The party is divided into
two factions and between those two
groups of men there is a gulf quite
as wide as that ever existing between
the democratic and republican par
ties. One faction or the other must
triumph and the other acqueisce in
the outcome or get out.
AS to which faction of the party
will dominate the situation in 1912 II
is difficult to predict. The regulars
with Taft as the present nominal lead
er are in control and it would be
natural for them to retain the su-
premacy. Yet some Of the ablest men
OF the republican party are in the pro-
gressive-insurgen camp and the SEN
timent of the country unquestionably
favors these men. If Roosevelt
throws his influence to the aid of this
cause the progressives may be able
to nominate one of their men for
president They might name Roose-
welt provided the famous rough rider
desires to run again.
Whatever developments che future
may have in store this much. is GER
tain, there will be some interesting
happenings within the next two years
and Theodore Roosevelt will be in the
game. He seldom stands aloof when
anything is going on. If he mixes in
the coming fight within the republi-
can party he will be a big factor in
deciding the controversy
