MARK TWAIN'S MARRIAGE.

Mark Twain had an especial reason
for going 70 Elmira. on the Quaker
City he had met a young man by the
name of Charles Langdon, and one
day in the bay of Smyrna had seen
a miniature of the boys sister, Olivia
Langdon, then a girl of about twenty
two. He fell in love with that pic
ture and still more deeply in love
with the original when he met her in
New York on his return. The Lang
don home was in Elmira, and it was
for this reason that he frequently So
journed there. When the proofs of
The Innocents Abroad were sent to
him he took them along; and he and
gentle, sweet 'Livy Langdon read
them together. What he lacked in
those days in literary delcacy she de-
tected, and together they pruned it
away. She became his editor that
winter-a position which she held un-
til her death.
The book was published in July
1869. and its success was immediate
and abundant. on his wedding day

USE THE WATER HERE.

If the United states government
does not wish to proceed with the ex-
tension of the Umatilla project then
people owning land in this vicinity
should get busy and use the water
tnat now flows to the sea.
In the vicinity of Pendleton there
are easily 100000 acres Of dry farm
ing land needing irrigation. Much
OF this may be irrigated through use
of the flood waters of the Umatilla
and tributary streams.
If the government does not use the
water upon which it has a blanket fill
ing it cannot expect to hold its rights.
What we lose through the failure OF
the government to order the exten-
sion of the project we may gain in an
other direction.

WATCH OUR NEW SYSTEM.

Yesterday the East Oregonian pub
ushed a personal communication from
George R. Roberts bearing upon the
liquor question. Mr.. Roberts has just
returned from Iowa and he gives us
the benefit of some of his experience
there.
However, there are some things Mr..
Roberts did not explain. He does not
show why Iowa, after period of pro-
hibition. returned to a licensed saloon
system under the present policy Of
close regulation that obtains there.
From numerous other sources
however we have it that the people Of
Iowa grew tired of prohibition for the
same reason they tired of it in Uma-
! .illa county. Prohibition did not pro-
hibit. but instead led to illicit business
and to the promotion of mail or
der" liquor trade.
| At this time the East Oregonian Is
going to ask Mr.. Roberts and other
good men who feel as he does to sus-
pend judgment upon this subject and
watch Pendleton's experience with Ii
lcensed saloons once more. They will
be started here January l and If these
licensed saloons do not afford far
more satisfactory solution of the
liquor problem than prohibition has
furnished, this paper will be surprised

\ VERY FOOLISH WALL.

1t is amusing and yet distressing
to listen to the howls of disappoint-
ment issuing forth from Baker City
over the selection of Pendleton as a
location for the branch asylum. The
Bakeries are fearful soreheads and
they are making a wretched spectacle
of themselves by their attacks on
Acting Governor Bowerman.
The branch asylum was located up
on its merits. AS between Baker and
Pendleton as prospective locations for
this institution there is simply no
comparison. Because of its geograph-
ical location this place was clearly
entitled to the asylum. Pendleton is
centrally located; Baker is not. The
latter city is in one corner of the
state and is more allied with Idaho
than with eastern Oregon.
BY locating the asylum here instead
Of at Baker the state board saves the
taxpayers of Oregon thousands and
thousands of dollars. Had the insti-
tuition been located at Baker all the
patients taken there from salem and
by far the greater portion of the
new inmates would have to be taken
through this city. Now the railroad
fare from PeBdleton to Baker, ex-
elusive Of Pullman or diner charges,
is 1915. So it would cost the state
just that much more every time an
inmate was taken to Baker. Figuring
upon this basis the cost of transport
ing the initial 500 patients from Sa-
lem TO Baker would alone amount to
s2250 more than it will cost the state
to bring those people here. As it is
the intention to transfer patients
from one hospital to the other, when
conditions justify. it may easily be
seen why the new institution was To-
Gated here rather than at Baker.
Figuring upon a cold financial bas-
is this is clearly the logical place for
the branch asylum. Pendleton gets
the branch asylum for the same rea-
son it secured the headquarters for
the eastern Oregon federal court and
for the same reason that the state
supreme court holds its eastern Ore
gon sessions here. This is the CEN
tral. the convenient and the economi-
cal place.
But aside from this Pendleton had
other attractions as a location fol-
the branch insane hospital. AS Gov
ernor Bowerman has pointed out this
place has a superior climate and a
more satisfactory altitude. We alsc
had a splendid site. The Oliver place
is one Of the finest ranches in eastern
Oregon and it is located close in. II
is admirably adapted for the purpose
for which it has been purchased. In
oidentauy it was offered the state al
a lower price than were the Baker ol
Union locations.
Under the circumstances Baker ha'
no just complaint TO register. Thu
plea that it was located here for po
liucal reasons is cheap and silly. Thu
longer and the louder they wall tn
worse IT viii be for the Bakeries.
