LOT OF cQNGRESSMEN
WASHINGTON LEGISLATOR
VOICES SOME SENTIMENTS
Says Senator'S Ride While Represen-
tatives Walk TO Capitol-Latter are
Cowards, He Says, and Are Afraid
of their Constituents at Home.

Washington, April.-"You see this
broad, smooth roadway guiltless OF
vehicles of any sort? Well, that rep
resents the congressman's fear of his
constituents"
Representative McCredie, of Wash
ington, plump, ruddy faced and just
at this most perspiring freely, paused
in his gaspy walk through the sub
way leading to the house office build
ing from the capitol and leaned
against one of the iron posts for
breath. The posts separate the side
walk of the subway from the sixteen
or eighteen foot roadway.
over on the senate side where
there is no fear of an economically
inclined constituency" continued
Judge McCredie as he resumed his
walk, they have automobiles to take
the senators to and from their Off
ces and the capitol. They make the
trip in comfort, with speed, and in
style befitting the dignity Of their
office. But there are no autos for us.
| suppose that one reason they think
We do not need automobiles through
our subway is that we are younger
men, as rule, than the senator's. and
being spryer, can walk. Oh, walking
does us good of course, but every time
| make the trip either way I feel like
getting up in the house and demand
ing an auto from the appropriations
committee.
1--WE would have had the autos long
ago II we were not all towards. But
there isn't man in a hundred in the
house that would dare to vote for a
bill providing automobiles for this
subway. Every member would be
dead sure that the vote would bob
up to plague him at the next cam
paign. 1t would be a fine slogan for
the opposing candidate to cry 'Ah, ha,
Congressman Smith is too lazy to walk
from his office to the capitol, dis
tance of two blocks. Out home here
he is not too good to walk, but as
soon as he gets to Washington he be-
gins to ride around in automobiles
at the peoples expense
That may sound ridiculous to the
ordinary citizen but it is not at all
overdrawn. Many a congressman has
lost his official head with less said
against him"

THE MOTOR CAR.
(Echo's Echoes.l


The past week the motor car has
been doing a good business and is
serving a fine purpose in making
possible a trip to the county seat
in the day time without remaining
over night. AS Echo has no mill
iner store nor dentist, and as these
two necessities generally are the
things women require, II makes IL
fine to not have to stay two nights
in Pendleton just for a trip to have
a tooth fixed or to buy new hat.
Our other stores in Echo are fully
adequate for all desires and seldom
do we see passenger arriving home
from this trip, loaded with purchas-
es, as-no lady cares to pack about
bundles.
AS for the business part of the
matter such as attention to affairs
at the Court House, It means much
to a busy man to not have to be
from home two days or to have to
sit up half the night trying to catch
a train for a ride of twenty miles.
Sunday II is liable to prove of
great value to those who wish to
attend their own church organiza-
ton in Pendleton, II such is not rep
resented in these other places, and
a. the baseball season. which is now
in its fullest excitement, the motor
Is certainly an accommodation And
new settlers coming to the irrigated
belt to live. will not feel isolated from
the cities when they can run to Pen
dleton easily. For Pendleton is cer-
tainly nice little city and we in
Eastern oregon, are all proud of her
Taking 1t all round, Echo folks feel
the motor is a great success and we
hope 1t will remain constantly upon
the run.

The Times, OF Barre, VI, publishes the

the accident happened. he was holding an
incandcscent light In one hand, and IL 10 pre-
snfned that the light Was charged from 4 short
circuit when he touched part OF the engine.
Instantly there WAS fash and . gsoan, fol-
lowed by the odor Of burning hesh, and
Gay fell. He was already dead.
benjamin INLAY rushed TO his aid. The
body was III charged. and Inlay was thrown
several feet when he t1uehed the body, and
was knocked iusensible. Joe fabarge also
attempted to assist the men. and received =

o ser tine coast and the mainland in every
rec,ion, would begin to unfold.
As the little train assembled, the wooded
mountain was replaced by great wind
blown and ice polished lodges, bare OF
verdure, except for little hidden crannics.
Stops were frequent to enable. the
passengers to get out and pick blueberries
and wild flowers, and to let the engine
get breath for another portion Of the
ascent, while the fireman stocked UT.
Finally the top of the mountain Was
reached, with Eagle lake right beneath.
Seemingly it was almost possible to roll
down over the mountain side right into its
depths.
The passengers were not without their
anxieties, either. One old lady of ponder
Gus weight and most evident authority
in the world OF fashion, one day ner-
vously asked OF the conductor " hen the
train was almost at the mountain-top
and laboring heavily on the steep grade,
'sMr. Conductor, II those cogs should
break, where would we go TOT" Looking
down into ths clear blue waters of Eagle
lake, which lay right below them, the
conductor replied earnestly, swell,
ma'am, that depends on what kind o.
life you've been livin'i To the credit of
the line, however, it must be said that not
an accident happened in its history.
AT the top OF the mountain was an ex-
cellent hotel, where meals were served,
and it was fsvorite psstime to spend a
p;uht thora and match the spnr,sa in tho
morning. In 1854 the hotel burned, and q
second structure was built the following
year, which lasted well into the 'nineties.
But with the coiIapsing OF the general
boom by which so many Bar Harbor in
vestors were bitten hard, the railway suf
fered, too. With the dwindling OF the
hotel business and the decrease oftransient
visitors came an alarming decrease in the
business OF this little road. For some
years it ran at q loss, and then it was
abandoned at last, as was the hotel, whose
supplies were necessarily brought up the
mountain ct great trouble and expense.
At last the little steamer was disposed
OF, and then the road and its equipment
sold. Some OF the engines and cars are
running to-day on the White Mountain
road.
The railroad for the greater part was
torn up, and its rails used for other pur-
poses, bat many OF the ties and other
fragments were left, and even to-day its
route is to be marked, although rather
faint at times. The road, with its COM
bination trip Of barge, steamboat and
train, with the lonely hotel at the top of
the mountain, was one OF the most unique
ventures ever tried in co~ nection with the
exploitation OF Names summer resorts,
and il it failed, it was certainly due to no
fault OF ability, enterprise or energy on
the part OF its owners and builders.
