1T MADE A HIT.

There is a story on a st. Louis man
going the rounds, which might as
well be blamed on one man as anoth-
er-any one running for office will
do, says the st. Paul Dispatch
The story is that this man went to
a meeting largely composed of Nor
wegians, many of whom could not
understand English while he didn't
know word of Norwegian. Anxious
to please, he said to the chairman:
Now please give me a good, rip
ping line in Norwegian with which I
can close my speech-something that
will create enthusiasm.Y
The chairman complied writing a
line out carefully, rehearsing the
speaker in pronunciation and show
ing him where the oratorical period
should come. The speaker went
through his usual talk, and then, com
ing to the sentence furnished by the
chairman, roared out:
"Vil dere allie sammen vaere so
SMILE at aaned og have lidet forfris
gning paa min bekostniing salonen ne
deunder!"
There was a yell of delight, a vocif-
<erous round of applause, a Shrek of
joy and then a stampede of five hun
dred eager men for the door.
"Gee 1t made a ,hit!" exclaimed
the speaker What does it mean in
English?"

asked them all to go down stairs and
have a drink at your expense"

private projects as the Furnish Coe
the task seemed like big one. There
were many who predicted failure and
scoffed at those who became inter-
ested in the west end country. This
was but natural for the scoffer is al
ways at hand No matter what the
proposition nor where there will al
ways be some who will scott and
sneer. There are people who will re-
vile when Gabriel blows his golden
trumpet and the pearly gates of
heaven are thrown ajar. The fault
though will be with the scorners not
with Gabriers music nor with the
heavenly gates.
But with respect to the west end
country there is now little room for
scoffing. Such showings are being
made upon the government project,
upon the Furnish-Coe project and
other private projects that there can
be no reasonable doubt but that the
work will prove entirely successful
and the west end of Umatilla county
become one of the most productive
regions in the west.
Already those who invested in the
vest end country a few years ago
have made money. Some have doubled
their money, others have trebled or
quadrupled it. Many who went into
that section as poor men are now in
line to become independently rich.
And the good work has only COM
menced.
The west end country is making
good.

1T CAN BE SOLVED.

In response to the address of wei
Ia Walla, said some very timely and
sensible things. He complained of
bonanza farming and of its deterring
effect upon the development of east
ern Washington and eastern Oregon.
Bonanza farming is the sleeping sick
ness" that has taken the life out of
many otherwise good sections of the
inland empire. Big farms have work
ed to the injury of this city. But
Pendleton is not dependent upon the
wheatraising country alone so it has
been saved from the fate of some less
fortunate towns.
Mr.. Morrow asked that Pendleton
and Walla Walla people cooperate in
working out a remedy for the blight
OF big farms. 1t is a fitting line for
such cooperation. The task is a big
one. To the average man the problem
seems impossible of solution Yet it
need not be impossible. The breaking
up of the big stock ranges was also
considered an impossibility, yet they
have been broken up. The reclama>
ton of the arid plains of the west
was for years but a dream. But it is
a dream that has come true and the
realization of that dream has worked
wonderously towards the settlement
and development of the west
1t is the firm belief of the East Ore
gonian that the big farm problem can
also be solved and will be solved in
due time. Some progress is now be-
ing made along this line The ad-
option Of closer farming methods and
the raising of leguminous crops as
well as wheat tend toward the break
ing up of the great ranches. When
by experimentation a system Of farm
ing has been worked out that means
an annual crop instead of a biennial
crop the big farms will be broken
NJ as by magic. Land will become so
valuable the owners/will find it good
business to sell it out in comparative
II small tracts to people who will live
upon the land and actually farm 1t.
Right at this time much might be
done towards the colonization of the
wheat district of this county if the
right steps were taken. With an or
ganization such as that now at work
upon the colonization Of the Umatilla
project marvels could be accomplish
ed towards peopling the rolling plains
OF this county. There are millions Of
people in this world who desire land
and homes Of their own so that they
may support themselves and loved
ones and hold up their heads among
men as God intended they should
Such people would be glad to locate
in this land Of sunshine and progress.
They would not complain If they had
to work hard and could not afford
automobiles at first.
The big farm problem can be soly-
ed and it will be solved the quicker
is, as Mr.. Morrow suggests, the people

OUT OF SIGHT OF LAND.

Yes" said a travelling man last
night, II was once out Of sight of land
on the Atlantic ocean 21 days"
There was small-sized crowd sit
ting around. Another man\spoke up,
says the Denver Post.
"On the Pacific ocean one time 1

A little bald-headed man knocked
the ashes from his cigar.

Tokepa in a skiff once" he said, land

Jaw, come Off" said the man who
had told the first tale. "The Kaw
river isn't more than 900 feet wide
at Topeka"

bald-headed man quietly. 1.-THE skiff
turned over and sank twice."

THE SERVICE Is JUSTIFIED.

That the motor car service between
Umatilla and Pendleton was actually
needed has been fully demonstrated
by the patronage the car has been
given. The car is being literally pat
ronized on every trip and it is of ben
eft to every section of the territory
between Pendleton and Umatilla. It
seems inevitable that the patronage
will increase as people become ac-
customed to the service and as the
settlement of the west end country
becomes more dense.
