OUR LOVE FOR MUSIC.

It is true that this is not a demon
strative nation, nor a demonstrative
generation. says A. f. Thomas in
Success Magazine" Yet there are
many men and women still living
whose memories run back to the days
when Jenny Lind, the Swedish Night
ingale," was the idol of the hour; who
can remember the furor that her sing
ing aroused. Perhaps there are still
living some of the men whose hands
took the horse from her carriage and
dragged her in triumph from old
Castle Garden to the hotel where she
lived. At all events, they can rem
ember that it was done, and perhaps
they saw it, even if they did not help
to do it.
We do not take the horses from the
carriages of prima donnas any more.
The prima donnas now ride in costly
motor-cars, and gasoline can not be
removed with the same facility as
horses. Even if the singers still used

What is that rhythmic sound, that
tireless. measured throb?
That syncopated, animated flob-de-

What is that whirling cloud that low
ers upon our ways?
That light obscurlng, long enduring,
dirty, dusty haze?

Upon his pair of knees.
He's swatting at the carpet, and
Anon he stops to sneeze.
He's spreading noise and germs and

Why does the baby weep? Why
does the laundress fuss?
Why, speckled gray, does lingerie

Why do they scrub and scour, why

"ALL ABOARD. :

Tomorrow morning Pendleton will
send forth a delegation to visit the
portion of Umatilla county lying
northeast of PendIeton and also to re-
turn the call recently made by the
businessmen of the Garden City. 1t
is a trip that is sure to be one Of
pleasure and it should be one of
profit.
Pendleton has lost by not making
such trips more often in the past.
Pendleton is interested in the growth
and advancement of the east end sec
ton and of all other sections of the
county. But the people of this city
have neglected to make proper mani
festation Of this interest. There has
not been enough exhibition of the
glad hand. get acquainted" spirit.
On the trip tomorrow local people
will have a chance to make up for
neglected opportunities in the past.
They will have a chance to show that
Pendleton has a genuine interest in
the cities and towns to be visited and
the country through which the train
will pass. They will have an oppor-
tunity to show that this city is the
friend Of all that country and is ready
and anxious 10 aid in the development
of that region. The plan for a county
publicity bureau, which will be one Of
the chief subjects Of discussion on the
trip, was devised largely for the bene-
fit Of the east end country. A county
publicity bureau would be Of more d.
rect benefit to the east end and to the
west end sections than to Pendleton.
For many reasons the trip tomor-
row will be Of importance and it IL
essential that strong delegation make
the journey. 1t is especially import
ant to have the principal business and
professional men Of the city along.
"All aboard"

"Oh, you Red Murray! Scratch the

Heads up Big Injun!' Scoop 'em,

"Devore stole home, and say, he slid

These and a thousand other roars
Rang eastward to Long Islands

And folks of various types were there,
From East Side yegs to ladies fair.
Here a tragedian there a joker,
Here a banker, there a broker,
With dry goods clerks young booze
clerks mingled,
And all sat I'M VIII nerves that ting

Proud as a queen upon her throne
One white-haired woman sat alone;
A dear old lady, calm. sedate,
Age. very likely, eighty-eight.
isn't she sweet?" the people said;
Look at that lovely silvery head"
AS in the sun she serenely basked,
A rooter sitting near her asked: l
How did you come to get away?"
She smiled, MY grandson died to-

a STRONG COUNTY PREFERABLE.

There are many reasons why strong
counties are preferable to small, weak
counties. a strong county like Una
tilla means a low rate Of taxation.
This because Umatillas $4,000, 600
assessed valuation provides a big reve-
nue. even with low levy.
A strong county means capable Of
fcials because the positions are of
importance and the salaries suffici-
ent to justify good men in taking
them. A strong county, free from in
debtedness as is Umatilla county,
means that there is money available
for supporting the public schools, for
improving highways for building steel
or concrete bridges and for other
work.
A strong county is also preferable
to a weak county when it comes to
legislative matters. Umatilla county
has a legislative delegation Of five
men, two senators and three represen-
tatives, II the Joint representative is
counted. These men make a formid-
able delegation--a delegation that is
able TO get results. Those men COM
mand the respect OF their fellow leg

Is THIS WHY?

There are ESQ miles of railway in
Umatilla county and the assessed valu-
alton of this roadbed and the accom-
panying equipment is $S,5OO,OOO. This
year the o. r. & y. company and the
Northern Pacific paid net taxes am
ounting to $79,635.O7. This is a sum
that goes far towards paying the eX-
penses of the county. Do the Milton
and Freewater farmers want to Sc
cede from Umatilla so as TO get away
from this money?

islators because they represent strong
county-a county that pays more taxes
than does any other county in the
state save Multnomah. SO they are
able to accomplish things that would
be unattainable were this county di-
vided up into several little flea bitten,
pickering counties.
United we stand, divided we fall,"
is a slogan that applies with particu-
lar force in this county at this time.
