THE NEW LOCHINVAR.

oh, young Lochinvar has come out Of
the sky,
So fast that he looks but q blur to
the eye,
The girl of his heart is that day to be
wed
To prince with a crown on the top
of his head
And nothing inside it-so Lochinvar
glides
To a spot where the LEAKAGE his aero
plane hides;
For all over Europe twas sadly con-
fessed
That of all such machines his plane
was the best.
The prince was a craven and hated
the air:
He wouldn't ascend if the weather was
fair,
He stuck to an auto, although the
bold bride,
Thought nothing such fun as an aero
plane ride.
This laggard and craven will have
to go far
Ere he takes her from me" said
young Lochinvar;
And just as the bridal procession went
by
He snatched up Che girl and was off
through the sky
oh. then there was action. Some fell
in a swoon,
While others unanchored a captive
balloon:
And motors went humming on many
n plane.
As they chased the abductor, but
chased him in vain,
I For cleaving the air like an eagle In
flight
| T.ochinvar and his loved one were
soon lost to their sight,
/ And thus in the cross-channel flight
/ there is hope
| For the maids of the future who want
to elope.

NAL school at Hermiston just at this
time. To begin with the Eastern
Oregon normal is already established
at Weston. AS far as its legal status
is concerned the Weston institution is
a5 strong as it has ever been The
L. o. S. n. S was not abolished, It
was merely left without funds tenn
porarily.
The people of Weston are now con-
sidering the proposition of asking for
AN appropriation under the initiative.
While their decision upon this point
has not yet been made it is pretty safe
to guess that they will ask for sup
port for their school
Then again under the law Weston is
the only town that may ask for the
eastern Oregon normal school under
the initiative. There is a constitu-
tional provision regarding the loca-
ton of state institutions elsewhere
shan at the capital. This provision is
such that a town desiring such an in
stitution must first go before the
le gislature and have a bill passed.
Then the matter is submitted to a
vote of the people of the state and if
the measure is endorsed it becomes a
law. Such a bill however, cannot be
initiated
Should the Weston school ask for
support under the initiative but fail
to secure favorable action by the peo-
pie then the field will become open to
al. the towns of eastern Oregon. Any
town may then go before the legisla-
ture and ask for the school. If the
lie egislature sees fit to establish a
school at any particular point then
the action must be submitted to the
people for their endorsement.
However. it is the prediction of the
East OregoH1an that if Weston asks
flor support for the present norma
the initiative measure will be passed
by the people The need of an east
ern oregon normal is we'll known anc
since the school is already establish
ed at Weston the natural thing to do
is to keep it there. Last winter this
paper fought hard for the mainten
lance Of the Eastern Oregon normal
If the people of Weston desire to tr!
once more to have their school main
tanned this paper will be with them il
their fight and it will give them ear
nest support. Where the schoo
should be located in the event Wes

AT THE TURNING POINT.

IF Pendleton can get a traction
system started and if the govern
ment will then take UP the extension
OF the Umatilla project this town will
be placed in a position to grow as it
has never grown before"
This statement was made yester-
day by a local man of prominence, a
man who has aided much in the up
building of this section and who Is
now a leader in the traction move
rnent and also in urging the extension
OF the project. That what he said is
strictly true the East Oregonian firm
l. believes. 1t cannot be questioned
By any right thinking man that If
Pendleton is made the center Of an
interurban system that fact alone will
take the city forward at a most sat-
isfactory rate. If then on top of this
the government proceeds to reclaim
some $4,000 acres or more in the west
end of the county so much the bet
ter. The irrigated section of the west
end is tributary to Pendleton and this
city needs interurban lines and good
service from the o. r. & n. company
in order to obtain its just share of the
business Of that section<
But the west end is not the only
section that looks to Pendleton. The
great region north and east of here is
likewise linked to this city by many
ties. This city is the metropolis for
the people in the Adams-Athena-He-
lix-weston country and rapid transit
service is necessary in order to per-
NIT those people to run in and out OF
this city at their convenience. The

 RAILROAD
 VALUATION
Senate Now Tackles Import ant Amendment to Taft
 Elkins Bill
FIERCE DEBATE IS EXPECTED
Would Greatly Help Inter- state Commerce Commis- sion in Determining
 Rates
Especial from United Press.)

Washington, May 4.-Suggestions of
 the physical valuation of railroads as an amendment to the Taft-Ellxins bill in the Senate today brought up visions of about 30 days of debate. 1t has been inserted in the House bill and 1t | is being awaited with fierce emotions by friend and foe in the Senate. Only the tariff offers larger range for views pro and con.
 Physical valuation of a railroad
 means an appraisement of it's actual property and lands, tracks. shops and rolling stock. It does not consider
 the good will, franchise or the value l of stocks and bonds issued by the company. Such an inventory would
 be of great service to the Interstate Commerce Commission in determining upon rates. just to the people and yielding @ fair profit to the railroad company OF it's actual investment. "A physical valuation would be not the only but the controlling factor in fixing rates," said Representative Mad den, Republican, Illinois,. author of the amendment adopted by the House. The Madden amendment directs the Interstate Commerce Commission to make the valuation and to consider therein the> original cost of conStruc- tion, amount expended in permanent improvements, bettermentS and eXten- sion, amount of earnings invested in improvements, USltGIluC1lkS
 and extensions. and the extent to
 which such earnings will be represent ed by stocks and bonds in the treas ury of the railroad. It shall ascertain the original cost and value of the right of way and terminal grounds and their
 present value.
 A number of States, including Wis
 consin. Michigan and Texas, have
 made valuations of railroad property.
 New Jersey is now engaged in a sim
 liar work at a cost of 5000 The
 government would be interested in a
 valuation only as an aid in regulating
 railroad rates. Railroads have fought
 the proposition to the full extent of
 their influence wherever opportunity
 has appeared Their great plaint is
 that it would have the effect of reduc-
 ing rates below a fair standard and
 that their stockholders would suffer
 injustice. A more potent reason for
 dread. however, is fear that the pub
 lie will thus learn the extent of their
 property and the extent of "watered'
 stock issued.
 %The time has come" says Represen-
 tative Madden. when the American
 people ought to know whether the se- ! curitieS issued against the railroad
 properties are in excess of the value
 of the property against which they
 are issued. This is simple justice,
 nothing more"

LOTS OF BITTERS
 FOR JURYMEN
Appeal of Druggist from City Court Decision
 Being Heard

A jury in the Criminal Common Pleas court today before Judge Walsh is hearing the appeal from the city court of Charles Chippola, who con- 6ucted a drug store at Main and Commercial street, from the charge of selling liquor without a license Chippola was arrested on April 8th by Sergeant Hazel and Liquor Agent Wagner who visited his store finding a demijohn of alcohol and 15 bottles of various liquors conspicuous among which was such beverages as Fierro China bitters and F'ierro Mandate The bottles and contents were con- fiscated, and were today offered as evidence to the jury, with the privi- lege of sampling them if they de- sired. When Chippola was arrested he stated that he had a government cense from the County Commission CTS. In the city court Chippola was fined $50 and costs.
 John Kusler of Trumbull who stole a can containing 40 gallons of milk from William Walker and a bag of feed from Charles Roth for which he was fined S7 and costs and sentenced to 30 days on each count in the Trum- bull court escaped his jail sentence and paid S65. Kusler's arrest was brought about through the loss of his hat. He was followed to his home, but the family informed Sheriff Plumb that he had gone to New York. The sheriff was doubtful and search ed the house. In the attic he dis covered a trap door, over which he noted there was a weight. Believing that the weight was the man he was looking for, he pulled his pistol in- forming the person above that he would shoot. Immediately there was a scampering, the trap door giving way to the sheriff. Kusler was then easily nailed by Sheriff Olmstead, who had been on the outside of the house.
