WE ARE FORTUNATE.

Cmatilla county is fortunate indeed
with respect to its crop conditions this
year. In almost all other parts of the
west the crops have been more or less
of a failure. The drouth has worked
havoc through the middle west and
III Canada. In eastern Washington
the crop is light this year and even
the fertile Grande Ronde valley is suf-
fering.
In view of the situation outside the
conditions here are most gratifying.
While nearly every other part of the
west is suffering from crop shortage
Umatilla will harvest a bumper crop.
Barley on the reservation is now
threshing 10 bushels per acre and the
wheat yield will be good everywhere.
During the greater part of the sea-
son in Umatilla county the rainfall
was greater than the normal and the
good crops are due to that fact.
With the existing crop conditions
and the promise of high prices Uma-
tilla county farmers have a right to
wear the smile "that wont come off"

, BEAUTIFUL PLACE.

1t is not necessary for eastern Ore
son people to so far to find pleasant
outing places. In Umatilla county we
have Wenaha springs. Lehman springs
and Hidaway for vacation places and
they serve the purpose well.
Another eastern oregon resort that
lis fast becoming famous and deserves
the favor with which it is regarded is
Wallowa lake. 1t is situated at the
head of an enchanting valley and the
lake and its surroundings make a
scene that is beautiful and inviting.
Those who spend their vacations there
ride upon the lake fish in the lake
and the mountain river that is its in
let, visit the falls of the wallowa,
climb rugged peaks and enjoy them
selves in numerous ways.
In the past Wallowa valley and its
lake have been little known to the
outside world because of their isola-
ton. Even now the lave is not WIS.,
ited by outside people to the extent
its merits deserve because the train
service is slow. In time however,
Wallowa lake will come into its own
and when it does it will be the greatest
of northwest mountain resorts.

ter discussed the other evening with
rare erudition and cogency. one of
the gentlemen was sure that Raph-
aels "Sistine Madonna" was the best
known portrait in the world. An
other was all for Leonardo's Mona
Lisa. SAN another contended that
no likeness was so universally known
as that of King Edward on the coins
of Great Britain. l mentioned the
Sphinx. and somebody else mention
ed the Venus of Milo. The discussion
was growing warmer when a mild
and callow youth chirped up with:
You are all wrong! All of YOU,
The best known portrait in the world
is the queen of spades"
He then proceeded to prove to us,
what, it seems, is common knowledge
among the congnoscenti, namely, that
the queen of spades is a ona-fide
likeness of the late Queen Anne of
Britain. 1t seems that, somewhere
along about 1710. the English and
European stationers fixed on the
image of the then Queen of England
as suitable one to inscribe on their
playing cards. For 200 years or more
her face has looked out at us, not al

America is indeed a country of sky

Quito line. finished little over a year

1t is all for the best, perhaps, that
our colored friends are care-free re-
garding what the future may have in

MAKE 1T ATTRACTIVE.

1t is certainly a pleasing announce
ment that the o. R. & N company
has asked the ladies of the civic club
tc suggest plans for improving the
new depot grounds and will carry out
the recommendations of the ladies. It
shows a splendid spirit on the part
of the railroad officials and It is a
spirit the people of this city should
and will appreciate.
In beautifying the new depot
grounds the o. r. & n. company and
the people of this city have a COM
mon interest The railroad company
has expended much money upon its
new depot and in the other changes
it has made. Doubtless the company
wants a proper landscape setting for
the new station. Pendleton is inter-
ested in this also because the depot
and the depot grounds constitute the
first view strangers catch Of the city.
It should be possible to make the
new depot grounds a place of beauty
and that without undue expense. It
IS as much matter OF taste as Of
money. If the railroad people are
willing to meet the necessary expense
Il is the prediction Of the East Ore
gonian that the ladies will be equal
to their part Of the work.

RAILWAY ACROSS ANDES

The first transcontinental railroad
Of South America is finished. Africa
alone among the continents remains
unspanned. 1t is 80 years since the
trans-Andean enterprise was under
taken, and it stands today as one of
the great engineering feats of the
world. The summit Of the road is
lo,5OO feet above sea lever, and there
are 25 tunnels in a space of 13 miles
where the main range of the Andes
is pierced. Not only is Valparaiso
brought closer to Buenos Ayres and
to Europe by two and half days, but
the difficulties and expanse of the
old journey by stage across the sum-
nit are entirely eliminated.

WATCH 1T AND SEE.

When the assembly plan was first
proposed Judge Henry E. McGinn of
Portland ably presented the objections
to the scheme. He declared that when
the assembly was held it would be
attended by Representatives Of the
railroads, Of the street car companies,
Of the gas and electric companies and
of other interest that desire to man
inulate politics 20 the advantage of
their concerns.
The progress Of the assembly move
thus far fully justifies those objec-
tions. The Multnomah county assem-
bly, was that sort of a gathering The
legislative ticket was named accord
ing to a slate prepared in secret con-
ferences. As exposed by the Oregon
journal one Of those conferences was
held in the office of the attorney for
the Portland railway, light and power
company. Another was held in the
office Of 4. L. Mills president of the
First National bank. The slate agreed
upon went through with but a single
change. The Journal published a
Photographic copy of the typewriter
"slate" that was handed around by
the corporation crowd. The evidence
seems complete.
The contest in Oregon is but part
OF the great struggle that is on
throughout the nation. 1t is the
greatest issue that has arisen since
the civil war. Stated plainly the
question is shall the government
regulate corporations or shall the cor
pcrstions run the government" Shall
the public service companies serve the
public or shall the public serve them?
Shall the horse or the man be master?
L IS not a partisan fight. In the
rational struggle the progressives Of
the republican and of the decomcratlc
parties are for rule by the people and
not by the interests. Theodore
Roosevelt IS the great leader Of this
element. He is the man who put the
fear NJ God into the hearts Of the
trust nagnates and the Wall street
manipulators. They fear him and
his followers because they place men
above money and the rights Of the
public above the welfare of special
interests.
Because Of the direct primary and
the initiative and referendum the
corporate interests have had little
show to dominate Oregon during the
past few years Those laws were
passed to restore government Of the
people within this state and they
have done so. Naturally this. is dis
pleasing 70 the corporations and to
the politicians who do their bidding.
They have lost hold Of affairs and
they want to regain control. In
hopes OF doing so they have devised
the assembly scheme. They assert
the assembly is to restore harmony
within the party and to bring order
out Of chaos. But to the real men
behind the scheme "order and har-
mony" mean restoration OF govern
ment by special interests. It is the
order and harmony that prevails when
