WORTH CONSIDERING.

Just prior to the last city election it
was difficult to get good men to run
for office. Most Of the officials who
were chosen at that time were brought
into the race under protest. In one
instance a councilman who was elect
ed declined to serve and his position
had to be filled by appointment. At
this time the position of ex-Council-
man A L. Knight is vacant because
Mayor Murphy has so far been unable
TO find a good man to take the place.
Is 1t not possible this situation is
due to the fact that we ask our city
officials to do much work and suffer
much headache for nothing? Uma-
tina county seldom has trouble get
ting men to run for county positions.
Usually there are plenty OF good men
available and the salaries paid are
not large either.
Perhaps II would work for the gen.

A NEEDED CRITICISM.

Returning from trip to Chicago,
John NJ. Scott, assistant general pas
senger agent for the o. r. & N has
offered some timely criticism of Ore
gon boosting methods:
Oregon is giving too much atten-
ton to apple-growing to the exclu-
sion of its numerous other worthy
industries" said Mr.. Scott.
people in the East are gaining the
idea, and erroneously that we don't
produce anything but apples here.
They haven't been told that Oregon
is one of the greatest grain, small
fruit, timber and livestock states in
the union.
Our constant exploitation of the
apple industry, with the high prices
that of necessity prevail for good ap-
pie orchards, is actually soaring away
the settler of small means.
I'VE should tell Eastern people
more of the land that can be bought
in the state at from s25 to 500 an
acre, of the timber resources and OF
the opportunities to make money
with an investment of a small amount
of capital. In our enthusiasm over
the apple we have woefully neglected
some Of the resources that are en-
titled to their proportion of attention" >"
The East Oregonian believes Mr..
Scott right in this matter. Eastern
people reading Of our country might
well conclude that Oregon offers no
inducements to others than apple
growers. As a matter of fact this
state is rich in opportunities for men
Of all callings. Our resources are
not limited even to agricultural and
horticultural lines. We have open
ings for the small manufacturer as
well as for the small farmer. We
have work for workingmen and
good investments for capitalists. Why
not let the world know we have ex-
tensive resources.

ATCHISON GLOBE SIGHTS.

We have noticed that most sue
cessful men have no side issues.
Every man, like every corporation,
ileges.
If a man chooses to wear side
whiskers, he should abide by the con-
sequences.
The price quotations on alienated
affections are usually good deal
blow par value.
You are not fair to your feet if your
shoes have to be broken in" before
they are comfortable
So many times the man with a Great
purpose in life doesn't stand any
chance to accomplish it.
The average letter Of recommenda-
ton doesn't mean much. The man
who writes it usually does so in order
to get rid of the man who asked for
it,
Colonel Roosevelt says he has moth
ing to say. It's a pity he didn't an
nounce that determination before too
much talking caused so much trou-
BILE
About the only excitement in At
Gibson today Is this: A man who
was lately operated on, appeared on
the streets, and people fear he Is out
too soon.
No man who doesn't do more work
than his wife can hope to make big
success in life. Ever know a really
successful man whose wife worked
as hard as he did?
It sometimes happens that the
slouch is as proud of his slovenly APP
pearance as the fob is of his glad rags
And the pride Of the slouch is about
the worst variety.
When a man has a heated argu-
ment with his wife, and presents his
side OF the case in what he believes
to be a perfectly fair way, she says:

Wexford Land Goes Begging.

Lansing, Mich, May IL State
Land Commissioner Russell placed on
sale between 500 and 1000 acres of
land Ia Wexford county at Cadillac
tsst weeA for back taxes for which he
was uu9He to receive a bid. The
Communicable Power Co. put in a
claim for the land, contending that
they secured IL by right of purchase
at SO per acre..
This land is valued at S54 per acre
by the company, it is claimed and 1t
is said that they will need about 40
acres Of it to complete the power
merger which they have under way.
1t is claimed that the company did not
look up the tax title TO this land when
they purchased it and that taxes re-
mained unpaid for several years and
as a result reverted to the state under
the delinquent tax act.

pine Islands and right well these bows
deserve it. The track team was
awarded the championship In track
and field, for the +, l. 1t was a great
honor for our school and Cebu. There
was nothing too good for the men of
Cebu. A gveat many trophies were
offered and of course we brought most
of them back TO Cebu. Receptions,
banquetS, dances, and free rides for
the team and its manager have been
the 60 ever since. We got back here
last Monday and were given a great
reception.
II am mighty glad to get back and
take rest for it Is not an easy thing
to handle team as ours was handled.
Will settle down TO work. Have done
but little school work since l came
back. Out Of the ten months Of
school l will have taught only tour
this year. Over two months had pass
ed before got back from the states.
at Dumaguete two weeks in Noyem-
ber, was Acting superintendent six
weeks in November and December
was at Dumaguete and Manila five
weeks in January and February. And
today was again appointed Acting
Supt. of this division. So the time l
have put in in the high school this
year has been limited aud that by
spells, so that so far as instructing has
beeu concerned have done little.
when in Manila, the Department
offered me the superintendent or
Ilocos Norte, the northern province of
Luzon. 1t Is good division, better
than the average, but l wanted to
stay with Cebu a while yet TO finish
up some work have begun. And as
the Department offered me the Acting
SuperiDtendency here until the return
or the regular superintendent from the
states, l decided TO come back here.
Today the division was turned over To
me and / have taken charge. Expect
to have charge here until August.
During the vacation from April first
to June first there will not be a great
deal of WORK to do But this month
OF March closing up the school year,
and June and July Will ne hard
months. In fact these will be the
hardest OF the entire year. The prop
erty responsibility here is heavy at all
times. l signed up today for little
over hundred thousand dollars worth
of school property. That's some &C.
countability. / will continue in
charge of the high school for few
days and then quit it, probably for
good. Though | would really like TO
have charge OF it for another year.
Next week / must leave for trip
around the entire island. a trip of in
SpectiOn and for my own information,
so that will get things more in hand.
This trip will take a least two weeks /
aud will have to be flying one to
make it in that time.
Things look quite favorable to me
in so far as promotions are concerned.
L have Jared better since i came back |
than / had even hoped to. Things
have come my way. But so far as
making money is concerned this gov
ernment service is a farce. There's
no money in it. The higher position
one has the more it costs him to live, |
for people are expected to live up to |
their position here.
Il cannot go much higher over here
and at the first good chance l shall go
home and see If can oe contented TO
live there"

q Oon and a Scno

During one of the last birthday cele-
bratlons of the poet Whittier he was
visited by a celebrated oratorio singer.
The lady was asked to sing, and, seat
ing herself at the piano, she began the
beautiful ballad robin Affair."" She
had hardly begun before Mr.. Whit
tiers pet dog came into the room and,
seating himself by her side, watched
her as if fascinated. listening with a
delight unusual in an animal. When
she finished he came and put his paw
very gravely into her hand and licked
her cheek. robin takes that as trib-
ute to himself" said Mr.. Whittier.
He also is Robin Affair."" The dog,
hearing his own name, evidently con-
sldered that he was the hero of the
song. From that moment during the
lady's visit he was her devoted attend
ant. He kept by her side when she
was indoors and accompanied her
when she went to walk. When she
went away he carried her satchel in
his mouth to the gate and watched her
departure with every evidence of dis
tress.
