(Not by Shakespeare
How noble the burden of the weak to
bear expecting no reward,
but knowing well
That by the very act of helping one
doth make an enemy of him
befriended,
For, once assisted he for aid will ask
again,
And still again in larger measure,
till
He is refused-and then he ne'er for
gives
But pities himself, dams the quon-
dam giver
And, failing more to get, holds deadly
grievance,
Then joins the Knockers League, a
vengeful adversary
The virtue of the heart most rare, if
found
At all, save in a lexicon of words, is
gratitude;
Although It's found, according to the
sage, as well
In dogs, dumb brutes, as in diction-
airy.

A FINE BARGAIN.

At the meeting of the Roundup
stockholders last night the people of
this city took a progressive step and
a big one. From the action taken
this city is going to derive benefit
far more benefit than is realized by
the casual observer. AS a result of
the action taken the city will secure
II acres of land, close to the business
center and well adapted for the
Roundup and also for athletic pur-
poses. 1t will be a fine thing for the
city to own that land.
When w. F. Matlock offered to sell
his tract for the price of $4,000 he Of
fered the city bargain. In offering
the land at that price he was unques-
tionably moved by a feeling of local
patriotism. The land is worth more
than that sum and it is safe to say
that no individual could have pur-
chased the land at that price and up
on the terms Mr.. Matlock is willing
to grantq This is the way the mat
ter appeared to the stockholders last
night and so the motion to accept
his offer was carried by a unanimous
vote.
Now that the matter of a location
for the Roundup has been finally
and decisively settled it is up to all
to put their shoulders to the wheel
and make the Roundup a big and
lasting success. This can be done.
The Matlock tract is sufficiently large
TO accommodate the Roundup in
fine shape. BY enlarging the old
grounds plenty OF room can be secur-
ed for larger and safer track and
for seating accommodations for the
spectators. But don't let the impress
sion go abroad that the Roundup is
to be confined to the narrow quar-
ters used last fall for such will moi
be the case.
AS to the financing Of the propo'
sition undertaken last evening tha
should not be difficult. In the view
OF the East Oregonian the ROUNDUP
directors overestimate that featur
of the task. 1t will not be hard a
all to finance the deal. First becaus
the bargain made with Mr.. Matlock /
a good one and one in which none
cannot well be lost. Secondly be
cause Pendleton is back of the Round
rp and local people are willing L
aid literally in the promotion Of thi
enterprise. This was shown conclus
lively last evening by the attendanc
at the meeting and by the interes
and enthusiasm manifested. Woul
that every enterprise undertaken fl
this city had such smooth sailing a
this.
Now that the question as to 10
cation for the frontier show has beeI
settled the choice that was made be
comes the choice Of all.

ONE WAY TO DO 1T.

At the Roundup meeting the
question of devising plan for pur-
chasing the Matlock tract and for
otherwise financing the frontier show
was referred to the directors of the
association. Doubtless those men
will consider the proposition fully
and adopt what seems the most feas-
ible plan. But if they are in doubt
as to how to make the purchase OF
the Matlock tract there is one simple
course open-ask the city to make
that purchase. This city can we'll af-
ford TO buy that tract and pay the
sum of $4,000 for it out of the funds
of the city. The people of Pendle-
ton and the city of Pendleton are one
and the same. The city officials are
the representatives of the people of
the city and what the people want
to have done the city government may
do and do with consistency.
1t is the general desire that the
ownership of the Matlock tract shall
rest with the city. 1t is desired to so
clinch the deal that the ground can
neither revert back to Mr.. Matlock
nor fall into the hands of other pri-
vate individuals. Then why not in
duce the city to purchase the tract
outright and so secure the title at
once?
If the city purchases the land then
the burden of the expense falls equit-
ably upon the shoulders of all-it
will not have to be borne entirely by
the progressive and public spirited
element which element usually does
all the work for the advancement of
the city while the "tightwads" de-
rive the chief benefits.

TT MIGHT HELP TOO.

At the monthly meeting of the
Commercial association to be held
next Tuesday evening the question Of
protesting against the failure Of the
government to extend the Umatilla
project will be taken up. There are
many who favor joining in Portland's
move to get the government to pro-
ceed with the extension even though
this work Is not included in the sched-
ule recommended by the presi lent.
Whether or not protests from Oregon
will be of any avail remains to be
seen. But a good vigorous protest
should be made Just the same. Ore
gon has not been fairly treated by the
government and we should make 1t
known that we feel the slight.

WORK IT OUT.

The plan suggested yesterday at
the meeting of the Commercial club
managers that the controversy over
the closing of Aura and Lilleth
streets be settled by compromise is
both timely and logical. The best
interests of this city as we'll as of the
railroad company requires that this
matter be adjusted and ajusted as
soon as possible. The O.-W. r. & n.
company needs more room here be-
cause this is an important railroad
point 1t is now the passenger di-
vision and within short time the
company may wish to bring the
freight division here also. If it does
she local payroll will be greatly in
creased thereby. SO it is up to local
people to deal fairly with the rail-
road. At the same time no injustice
should be worked upon individual
of streets. The ideal way to settle
the controversy will be to settle it
upon a basis that will be fair and ac-
ceptable to the railroad and at the
same time satisfactory to the proper
ty owners. In the view of the East
Oregonian this should not be an i'm
possible task. The matter can be
adjusted if only the proper work is
done. The task can be accomplished
through mutual concessions and
agreements on the part of the rail-
road company and the property own
ers affected. The question should
not be made a source of strife at
special election.

Ever since the Ark grounded on the
to poi Ararat and man has been work
ing the soil for his substance, poultry
has held place among the farm ami
mails As a matter OF course, they
have been there. In some cases the
money which has come from them and
their products has been clear gain.
Waste materials have been put to a
purpose, and by an infinitely intricate
and wonderful process turned to gold
or silver. In other cases the cost has
been more than the returns, but with
out the knowledge of those in charge.
Many farmer has absolutely no idea
what his fowls cost him
When only few chickens IS to 5o)
are kept on farm of $50 acres they
are an advantage and a profitable ad-
dition. They find enough to live upon
and utilize much that would be total
loss, but the minute the numbers are
increased without a thorough knowl-
edge of what is necessary, the balance
shifts to the other side OF the ledger.
The old flock, few in numbers, multi
colored, with its representatives of a
dozen breeds and their crosses mixed

conglomeration loked after itself. made
