NOW TIME TO BEGIN.

With the approach Of the summer
season it is time adequate steps were
being taken to see that the sanitary
conditions about Pendleton are as
good as possible with a view to pre-
venting typhoid and other diseases Of
the heated period.
During November and December
last, there we're All cases and As
deaths from typhoid fever in Oregon"
says the Oregon Journal. There
were one third more deaths from this
cause during the period than from all
other infectious diseases. The figures
appear in the report Of the state
board Of health, which declares that
water and milk are the chief means
OF communicating typhoid. The
same fact was emphasized recently in
statement by Professor Pernot, bac-
teriologist at the Oregon Agricultural
college, who insisted that purity in
milk and water is the sole protection
against disease. The board commends
the new pure milk ordinance in Port
land as an effective measure Of safe
ty"
At this time Pendleton lacks a
good thorough ordinance governing
the dairies. However some effective
work towards bringing about the i'm.
provement OF the dairies has beer
done by Deputy Paul v. Maris, of the
state commissioners office. II thii
work is properly supplemented by
reasonable supervision Of the dairie'
by the city authorities much more
good should result. The dairymer

UP TO THE COMPANY.

1t is the business of the directors
OF the Washington Oregon company
to say who shall manage their af-
fairs for them. Pendleton is not par
ticularly interested in that matter.
The company may change managers
as often as it wants to. The interest
OF this city is in having a traction
system established and interurban
feeder lines extended out into the
surrounding territory.
AS matters stand at present the di-
rectors of the traction company are
under promise TO do this work,
After local people had subscribed for
$4,000 worth of the companys stock
the company agreed to accept that
support and to proceed with construc-
ton work 1t is now squarely up to
the company to fulfill its obligation
by building its traction system and
its proposed plant on the Walla Walla
river.
That the company expects to 90
ahead with its enterprise is declared
by John Smith. It is a welcome an
nouncement. But what Pendleton
wants now is actual construction
work. We have had many promises
from the Washington-Oregon COM
pany, but little in the way of fulfill
ment. Pendleton has done its part
towards assisting the company. The
people Of Pendleton want the traction
system established and have offered
assistance. 1t is now time for the
company to get busy.

ELECTRIC SCIENCE BRIEFS

It is estimated that the new pay
s-you-can-enter street cars have
lessened the number of accidents in
getting on and off cars by half.
Metal filament incandescent lamps
are now being used on ships and rail-
road cars
In localities where water power IS
plentiful and the cost of coal high
there is no question but what it is
more economical to do all the heating
and cooking in the home by electrici-
ty.
After a most carefully kept record
by a Chicago company is was shown
that the electric vehicle was consid-
erably cheaper to operate than the
horse drawn delivery wagons and
trucks. When it is remembered that
the electric vehicle makes a better
appearance. travels faster and can be
handled quicker and easier there is
no question but what it will ultimately
dsplace the horse.

TIE NORMAL SCHOOL BILL.

On another page today is published
the full text of the bill that has been
drafted in behalf of the Eastern Ore
gon normal school for submission to
the people under the initiative. This
bill is drafted properly in that it pro-
vides for a stipulated tax each year
for the maintenance of the school.
One twenty-fifth of a mill upon the
dollar is asked for. This seems like
asking for an infinitely small amount
Yet it has never required much mon
ey to maintain the Eastern Oregon
normal. The expense for that school
was almost entirely in the imagination
of the foes of the school. But the
good feature of this provision of the
bill is that the school will be given
permanent support if the initiative
measure is upheld by the people. The
eastern oregon Normal school will no
longer be a football for petty politicl-
ans to kick about. The school wont
have to get down on it's knees before
every Legislature and plead for money
| for maintenance. The bill as drafted is
a good measure and is entitled to the
cordial support of the people of east.
