HAND IN HAND.

Local people who favor mountain
water system for Pendleton, and the
East Oregonian is with them in this
movement, have not given up hope of
securing such a system. They will
not give up hope. They will keep on
until they get such a water supply.
The report of the special committee
from the Commercial association was
not a blow at the movement for
gravity system. The members of that
committee unquestionably want
mountain water supply as quickly as
it can be had. Their recommenda-
ton for a filtration system in con-
nection with the present water works
is not necessarily antagonistic to
gravity system. The committee has
merely said that until the time arrives
when a mountain system can be Sc
cured the present supply should be in
creased and the water purified so as
TO make it meet the needs OF the city
in as far as such is possible.
At this time the bugbear that is held
Up before those who want a gravity
system is that the expense of such a
system would be too great. Perhaps
this is true just now. But right here
the East Oregonian is going to pre-
dict that after Pendleton has secured
a traction system and some interur-
ban connections there will be such an
uplift in local business and in realty
values that a good mountain water
system will become feasible. 1t will
not only be feasible, it will be abso-
lutely necessary.
When Pendleton gets its traction
system it is going to grow and reach
cut. The first great need, after the
traction system has been installed
will be for an ample water supply. We
will need a great supply. not sup
ply sufficient merely for 5000 or 5000
pfDplNs Jul SulllIltil AOl EoBVVO pCN-
pie. There must be an abundance or
water for irrigation purposes as well
as for household uses. The quality Of
water must be the best obtainable and
the local reservoir must be located
Sufficiently high that water can be
furnished all parts Of the city. 1t is
the belief of the East Oregonian that
when Pendleton establishes a gravity
water system we should go to the
north fork Of the Umatilla for a sup
ply. Furthermore, this paper feels
satisfied that after a traction line has
been in operation for a short time this
scheme will become possible.
Local householders who want an inn
proved water supply may do very ef-
fective work towards securing tina,
improvement by getting behind the
movement for traction system
Those two great improvements are 60
ing to come hand in hand or at leasI
the gravity water system will not be
Tong deferred after the traction sys.
TEN has been provided.

THE CIVILIZED.

Our parting was in peace. Another
day
Shall mark our courteous greeting
even so,
Have we not learned that still the
easier way
Is wiser far to go?
The times have made us what we are;
we crowd
Beneath p placid brow a thought
uncouth,
Only to those untutored is allowed
The privilege of truth.
The generations that went quietly
Have left their mark upon us. and
in turn,
Our passions know that same clvility
Gagged animals must learn.
Before ones host should be disturb

ESQ runs the code) we turn with
easy mien
To clasp the dank hand of Iscariot
Rather than make a scene.
And so todav my hand touched yours
the while
GU knew Wnat rlSnt IL nau, as wei

To dash from off your mouth its
fawning smile
And brand and burn its lie.
''ris well. no doubt, that careful train
ing grips
The throat of honesty. Yet well
you knew
Back of the civil greeting on my
lips
The name that fitted you.
And so we parted in peace to meet
again
With gracious words-no doubt the
wiser way
Yet. once upon time the world

well known stockman expressed his
opinion. of the Alberta country. Mr..
Swaggart's opinion is of interest be-
cause he is we'll informed both as to
stockraising and wheat raising. For
either of these purposes the northland
does not "look good" to Mr.. Swaggart
and he gives his reasons for his con-
victions. 1t is too cold up there and
the seasons too short.
Now the East oregonian has no de-
sire to belittle the advantages of AL
berta. But this paper wishes to say
now as it has said frequently before
that it believes many people have
rushed pen nell into Canada when
they could have found fields far
more inviting in eastern Oregon,
X is fault of human nature that
distant fields look greener than those
close by. 1t is also a fact that men,
like cattle, sometimes get stampeded
and rush wildly into new section
without giving due consideration to
what they are doing. This is certain
ly true with respects to many who left
this county for Canada.
In eastern Oregon at this time there
Is much pioneer" land. There is,
much raw land that is well adapted
to wheat raising. There is consider
able of this character of land in UNA
hna county. There are hundreds of
thousands of acres farther out in the
interior 1t will not be long until
there will be two north and south"
railroads through central oregon and
there will be at least one more least
and VEST road. When that time ar
rives there will be great influx of
settlers into the interior. In fact the
is already underway. The
people who go in there and secure
cheap land will still be under the stars
and stripes; they will still be among
their. own friends and kin and they
will be in a temperate climate.
For the former residents of Una
tilla county who are now in Alberta
the East Oregonian wishes success.
This paper hopes they will all make
fortunes But it is sorry, upon it's own
account and for them too. that they
did not remain here and help people
eastern oregon.

WE CAN KNOW.

We hope TO call attention
To some facts we briefly mention,
If we're thinking we would surely
like to know,
That there always is a reason for the
manifesting season.
And by changing is the only way we
grow.
Now the poetry of motion is fact,
and not notion.
And we love to watch the rythm and
the swing,
In life around US dancing; in the
horses that are prancing;
In the brides that are nesting in the
spring.
Now the atoms are in motion,
All alive and make the ocean,
And are organizing life in every land'
In the life and death arranging
In the ever varied changing,
Is divinity we partly understand.
Now. divinity is action.
'Tis selection and attraction,
,Tis inherent in the atom, tbs control'
iris the acting, changing, brewing.
And is ever busy doing,
IRIS the mystery of life we call the
soul.
Now the soul of life is power
Working changes every hour,
Through the love selecting forces hish
and low,
And the soul is ever yearnins,
For experience and learning,
'Tis the only way that we can ever
know.

We live in the cycle of planets
And breathe with the tide ana the

Ye stay with the sick and the
wretched,
And fit when there's feasting and

Ye dance with the music of pleasure
And speed with the light of the sun,
Thy future glides into the present.
Thy present moves into the past;
Thy past must express in the present
And all in the present at last.
The last in the present beginning
To finish the work yet begun;
The past is the work that is finished.
The future the work to be done
The present time voices the futurer
The future speaks out of the past,
The past has it's roots in the present,
And all is, the present at last.
Ye present, Ye past, Ye future.
Ye could not exist but for change;
For change is the voice of awaking.
That life must forever arrange.

AN INVESTMENT.

The $4,000 to be raised for the
traction system is not to be given
the Washington-Oreg company as
a .bonus-it is important to remember
this. The Pendleton money is to be
invested in stock of the traction COM
pany. 1t will be an investment, not
gift.
Now as to what dividends this COM
pany will pay its stockholders the
East Oregonian does not know, nor
does this paper know what the stock
will be worth in the future. But 1t
is reasonable to believe that in the
course of time the stock of the COM
pany will become enhanced in value.
As the territory served by the COM
pany becomes developed and settled
its business and its franchises will be-
come more valuable and local people
who purchase stock should fare well.
But of course the promise of indi-
rect profits is what appeals most
strongly to local people at this time.
Well informed men know that the es-
ts blishment of a traction system in
Pendleton with interurban feeders will
work a great business revival and a
heavy advance in realty values. So
the investment should be a good one
entirely regardless of what direct
earning power the stock may have
and regardless of what the stock may
| be worth in the future

THE MAYORS MESSAGE.

In his message submitted to the
council last evening Mayor Murphy
outlines some very good work for the
future. Among other thing he advises
that the west end Of the city, that
section west of the o. r. & ". track
be provided with a sewer system. Ger
tainly this improvement should be no
longer deferred. Then the mayor says
he will shortly name a park COM
nittee from the council for the pur-
pose of taking up the establishment
OF a park system. 1t should be pos
sible for much to be accomplished al
ong this line during the coming year.
The old north side cemetery at least
should be improved and perhaps the
old academy grounds on east Webb
street There should be several pub
lie out door resting places within the
city. The mayor also made other
good suggestions and here's hoping
the administration will find it possible
to carry them out.
