INVESTIGATE 1T.

That the possibilities of irrigation
in the vicinity of Pendleton should be
Investigated has long been advocated
by the East Oregonian. Consequently
this paper is pleased to know that a
man so active as James Johns has
interested himself in the matter. 1t
Il certainly to be hoped that Mr..
Johns will carry out his intention of
pressing the matter upon the atten-
ton of local people with the view to
having a thorough investigation
made.
A surface view of the proposition
indicates it should be possible to do
something along the line of watering
lands in this vicinity. The salient
points in the case are these. In this
section of the county there are many
thousands of acres of land needing
irrigation. Water that might be used
for retaining this land now flows
unused down the Umatilla river and
goes into the sea. At present the
United States government has a blan-
ket filing upon all otherwise unap-
propriated water in the Umatilla,
However this filing will nvt hold un-
less the government makes use of
the water. 1t will not likely have
need of all the water even should it
carry out the extension of the Una,
tiila project. Then even should it
be able to use the water, the govern
ment might be very willing to give up
some Of the water to private irriga-
tion enterprises for it is an expressed
policy Of the government to favor pri-
vate works whenever possible to do
so.
The Importance to Pendleton Of
having lands in this vicinity watered
may be easily seen. Few things
would help more at this time than to
have 10000 or 10000 acres of ad.
Joining land brought under ditch.
Such an improvement would mean a
close rural settlement, something
Pendleton does not have at this time.
But if anything is to be done Mr..
Johns and his friends will have to
act quickly. Pendleton cannot wait
Indefinitely in this matter. 1t will not
be long until all the water will be
taken for the reclamation of lands
to the westward and the chances for
irrigation in this part Of the county
will be gone forever.

AVERAGE MARRIAGE AGE.

The average age of the community
is becoming older, it was pointed out
by the president of the Royal StNtls-
tical society recently. 1t il interest
ing to note that the age of marriage
has also the same tendency. Accord
ing to the available returns as many
as 10000 girls marry in England in
a year under the age of 81, that is in
less than one seventh of the marriages
registered Thirty years, a generation,
ago more than one-fifth of the wo-
men marrying in year We're minors,
Another interesting fact that seems
to prove this tendency to later mar
riages is provided by the figures for
the last decade. In 1907 the num-
ber of marriages of women between
the ages of 81 and 25 We're just over
6000 more than in 1898, while the
marriages of women between the ages
of % and 80 increased by just over
$4,000.
The average or mean age of all
spinsters who married in 1896 was
25 years and one month. This has ad-
vanced to 25 years and six and one
half months in the last available re-
turns widows at their second and
third marriages are also older, hav-
ing advanced from an average of 40
years months to 40 years IL months
Thus spinster brides are nearly six

DON'T LET 1T GO.

The proposition of the Washington
oregon company to establish a trac-
ton system with Pendleton as the base
of operations means everything to
Pendleton at this time. 1t is the golden
key that will unlock the gate and per-
NIT Pendleton to advance beyond its
present position a traction system
such as the W.-O. company promises
to establish will make Pendleton the
commercial center of eastern Oregon
and enable the city to hold that po-
sition forever. At this time the thing
for local people to do is to get be-
hind the movement to raise 0,000
toward the proposition and thereby
insure that the traction system win
be established. 1t is a chance such
as Pendleton has never had before
and should we fail to take advantage
of the present opportunity another
one may not come for years.

THE ENGLISH ELECTION.

Although the English election is
not yet finished the results thus far
indicate the liberals have won by a
safe majority and that the house of
lords has been given another jolt.
Henceforth the nobility will be fore
ed to pay taxes upon their vast es-
tates and some of the gentry will
have to curtail their fox hunting. 1t
may seem hard to the gentry but the
day of special privileges and asinine
clas distinctions is drawing to an
end and the English earls and lords
may as well resign themselves to their
fate They should congratulate them
selves that the change is proceeding
along peaceful lines. In France the
populace took a different course.

CURE FOR BLUSHING.

Blushing is a curious phenomenon.
often very disagreeable to the suf-
ferer. II is due to a sudden relaxa-
tion of the walls of the minute blood
vessels of the surface Of the body
and is classed by physicians among
nervous affections of the circulation
Self-consciousness is usually the ex-
citing cause of habitual blushing
which occurs therefore more COM
monty in bashful children, and in girls
more frequently than in boys. Those
who blush easily are generally of a
sensitive, nervous temperament, and
as contact with the world modifies
this somewhat. the habit gradually
disappears with age.
The face is the part where blush
| ing more commonly occurs, although
any part Of the body may show the
same change one who watches the
bushes of a painfully embarrassed
person may see faint pink flush
| spread over the ears and throat as
we'll as the cheeks It is said that
among uncivilized tribes, where much
of the body is habitually exposed,
blushing, when il occurs at all, may
Involve all the uncovered parts. 1t
Il probably because the face is the
part by which one is identified-that
which personfies the individual
that il is the recognized seat of the
| blush.
Sudden attacks of general blushing
without any apparent reason may af-
! feet those who are somewhat advanc-
ed in life and constitute a most dis
| agreeable symptom.
| Children who blush easily should
be trained to overcome self-conscious-
! ness or bashfulness. They should be
persuaded, not forced, TO take prom
inent position among their playmates
rather than to hold back and speak
only when they are spoken to- Tn
due timidity should be overcome be-
cause it Injuries the chance of success
| in business or the social world. The
speaking of pieces in school, if the
child can be persuaded it will be good
for him. will go far to cure morbid
blushing.
The spontaneous blushing or flush
ing of adults may be benefited by
tonics, remedies to aid digestion,
generous simple diet, cool bathing and
plenty of exercise in the open air

THE SUBSIDY RESOLUTION.

It was appropriate for the farmers
OF this county TO pass a resolution
condemning the ship subsidy scheme
which has been forced once more
upon congress. Wheat raisers are
vitally interested in the shipping bus
iness. The status Of the shipping
business has much to do with the
price Of wheat. Had the merchant
marine league succeeded in It's plan
TO get the government to prohibit the
coal ships from returning to the At
lantic loaded with grain they would
have worked loss upon every farm
er OF the northwest.
The graingrowers along with the
other classes want 20 see more Am.
erican ships upon the ocean. But
they are suspicious Of the merchant
marine league and its subsidy scheme
They have good reasons for their sus-
picions. The league is working in
the interests Of the shipbuilding
concerns-not Of the general public
They present a plan under which Am
erican shipping may be increased
But II is a plan that does not appeal
20 the average American. II involves
an enormous gift TO the shipping cor
porations. The average man, like
the Umatlla county farmers. would

VERY GOOD SERVICE.

The train schedule that went into
effect on the Washington division of
the o, r. & y. yesterday improves tse
service from a Pendleton standpoint
on the Washington division this city
now has a train servise that could be
surpassed only by the establishment of
a motor car service. We now have
la morning and evening service both
ways. Henceforth people may come
here from Walla Walla, Milton, Wes-
ton. Athena and Adams, spend the
day and return in the evening. Or
they may come down on the evening
train, attend the theatre or other
ey ening event and return home the
following morning in ample time for
work The new schedule should be
especially convenient for the people of
Weston, Athena and Adams. At the
same time the new schedule works
for the convenience of Pendleton peo-
pie who have business in those towns
for they may now go to those towns
in the morning and return in the
evening.

HOW THEY KNEW HER.

that certain story reminded him OF
scene on the banks of the Serpen-
tine in London, when lady and gen.
tleman paused beside styllshly
dressed nurse in bonnet and floating
VEIL and the lady exclaimed, looking
at the children of two and four who
accompanied the girl:
What charming children! Are
they not lovely, Edward?
Edward replied that they were all
that the heart of man could desire.
"They don't usually kiss people. ma
DAM" said the nurse. "but of course
they will you"
And whose dear children are
they?" as she looked admiringly at
the rosy cheeks and bright eyes of
the little ones.

ment, "they are your own. They
know you because they have often
watched you from the nursery window
as you passed to and from your car

CHURCH AND STATE IN SPAIN.

The Vatican, in semi-official COM
munication, says that the idea of
making new proposals to Spain is so
far from the intention of the Holy See
that some OF the officials support the
suggestion of sending no further
answer to the last Spanish note, on the
ground that this note is reply to that
addressed by the Holy See 10 the
government, and therefore requires no
answer. II Premier CanalejaS is sincere,
the communication says, he must re-
sumo the negotiations at the point
where they were abruptly interrupted.
Premier Canaleias in an interview
Yesterday said: Il am determined not
to allow the development of clericalism
in Spain. A rupture of relations with
the Vatican does not exist; the dis
agreement is momentary. 1t deals with
a fixed question. have no desire to
extend it. and do not wish war. The
Vatican must intervene to modify a
portion OF the Spanish clergy; as,
otherwise, if the clergy are allowed to
conspire against the government, then,
without consulting Rome, | will do
what my duty commands. The Vatican
insists upon the withdrawal OF a bill
already presented but this | cannot
and will not do, as it would mean the
diminution of the power OF the state. J"
The Catholic committee which had
planned it explained the abandonment
OF the San Sebastian demonstration in
a manifesto issued in Bilbao yesterday.
After stigmatizing the governments
actions as arbitrary the manifesto
declares that the Catholics fear neither
prosecutions nor threats and are ready
to offer their lives in the defense OF the
sovereign pontiff.
