THE CRATER LAKE ROAD.

The Medford Mail-Tribune grows
very caustic in speaking of the SUI
preme courts decision against the
Crater Lake road. Here is an ex-
tract from the Medford paper.
God threw a pearl before swine
when lc placed Crater Lake in ore
gen. The greatest natural wonder in
the world, the greatest scenic asset
any land possesses, and a people too
ignorant. too provincial. too dense to
appreciate it. people actually hos
tile towards making it accessible and
a supreme court, as narrow as its
constituency, cater ing for votes in its
mossback environment.
THE court has chosen to take the
narrow construction of the law, al
though less than month ago it gave
the law a violent wrench to sustain
its own unconstitutional membership
swallowed a camel to strain at a
gnat But the Salem hog and the
Willamette valley pinhead and their
reactionary guide in the tall tower
have been appeased and assisted in
their effort to hurl stumbling
block in the path of progress"
These are sharp words but then the
Provocation is great Many people
outside Of Medford would also like to
have seen the Crater lake road built.
It may be built yet. A movement is
now on at Medford to raise $4,000
oy subscription. This amount will
he added to another $4,000 appropri-
ated by Jackson county and the $780,
COO viii be used to construct the
road. But is is inequitable to raise
money by subscription for such pur-
poses as this. A few progressive and
public spirited people are made to
bear a burden that should fall upon
tine shoulders of many.

certain thatsif Pendleton is to grow
to any extent the business district will
have to be enlarged. 1t is poor policy
fcr any town 10 confine its business
section to district too limited in ex-
tent. Such a policy means exorbi-
,ant rents and cramped quarters. Pen
dleton merchants have suffered much
from the fact that all the bus
fpess has been confined to a : few
blocks and these blocks have been
owned for the most part by men who
confine their activities to the collec-
ton Of rents. Go to it. Extend the
business district. a chick cannot
grow and stay in its shell.

HIS THREAT TO CONDUCTOR.

Some time ago a man at Yysilanti,
Mich, became crazed on the subject
OF hypnotism and was sent on a
Michigan Central train to an asylum.
When the conductor asked for tickets
the crazy man began telling of his
hypnotic powers
I'm hypnotic you" he said.
Fire away" replied the conduc-
tor.
The man made several passes before
the conductors face.
Now you are hypnotized." he said
The conductor looked the part as
best he could.
you're a conductor" the hypnotist
said.
That's right" replied his victim
You're a good conductor" went on
the hypnotist.
Right again" said the conductor
You don't drink. smoke or swear
at passengers. You are honest. You
turn i'm al. tickets and money you coll
lect from passengers. In fact, you
DO not steal a cent"
That's right" asserted the con-
ductor.
The hypnotist eyed him for a mo-
ment then said:

I left you in this condition ''-Chica-

MISS NEwMAN's DEATH.

Portland. Ore. Feb. lS.-(Editor
East oregonian. Pendleton. oregon.)
Dear Sir: The news item in your
issue of the 10th from Corvallis rel
ative to Miss Stella Newman's death
contained a conclusion that is hardly
warranted and 1 would like to ask
space to explain briefly the matter:
Miss Newman was given up by ply
sicians before coming to Oregon but
through Christian Science was great
ly benefited. SO much so that she
sought a position again and began
teaching During the past few months
she had some help from Christian
Scientists but not regularly. or to any
great extent, relying mostly upon her
study of the Scripture and Christian
Science literature for help Your
correspondents conclusion that she
had died because she had not secured
medical aid can hardly be said TO be
well based because there is no way to
determine whether such aid would
have been effective Having been
pronounced incurable by medical
physicians naturally would make her
reluctant to seek help in that direc-
tion.
Had she employed n Christian Sci
ence practitioner at the last instead
of relying upon her own understand
ing the result might have been diff
ferent.
She was under a physicians care,
who had been called by friends, when
she died Yours truly,

who. after being caught in number
OF petty deligquencies. was at last
sentenced to a short term in the pen

trade. On the day of this return
home he met a friendly white ac-
quaintance who asked:

"Dey started in to make an honest
boy out'u me, sah.''

MORE WORK TO DO.

Because Pendleton is assured
traction system with interurban con-
neotions it does not follow that local
people may rest upon their oars for
any length Of time. It is true one big
job is finished. Pendleton viii not
likely have another task Of such mag
nitude for some time. Yet there is
going to be much more work to do.
If Pendleton is really to coBe into its
own and become the citgrsff is entitled
to be then this work must be done
well
The advent Of the traction system
is going to mark the beginning Of a
new period in this city's history.
After that system has been establish
&c, or even fairly started, Pendleton
will have broken through it's shell.
Yet chick just out of its shell is but
little greater than before it broke
through. The difference is that it has
way with Pendleton. When the trac-
tion system is once started Pendle-
ton win pass forever from the country
town stage. This place will then have
city possibilities. The future growth
and prosperity of Pendleton will de-
pend upon the extent to which we
take advantage Of the opportunities
that are before us.
After the traction system has been
started it will be up to local people
tc see that the lines are extended as
they should be. Pendleton will need
connections with all parts Of its tribu-
tary country. As such connections are
secured it will devolve upon local
business men to take steps to secure
their share Of the trade from the
newly opened territory. Through
such considerations as large and up
to-date stocks, good advertising, reas-
enable prices and generally courteous
treatment may they accomplish this
purpose.
Then there are civic improvements
that will have to be secured. We
need many things now, among them
being new water system, a first
class theatre. library building and
new high school building. In the fu-
ture other needs will doubtless arise.
In the proper time all these things
must be provided. Sanity must pre-
vail along these lines to be sure. Yet
the course must be forward. The
"Progressives'' must keep In the sad
die. There will be people who will
not like the new conditions. They
will be scared and uncomfortable.
They will want to go back into the
shell. But Of course that cannot be
permitted. II they cannot become
accustomed to the life and hustle of
the Greater Pendleton they will have
to 20 to walla walla or some other
quiet place to dwell.

How they CLEAN, the golden years,
On the ardent eye of youth!
In his ravish soul he hears
All the music Of the spheres,
And tomorrow. then is truth,
"These tomorrows are all mine!"
Oh, divine
Years Of youth! In his dream
How they gleam!
How they go, the vanished years,
Down the ebbing tide of time,
Bearing freight OF hope and fears
Ger a current swoll'n by tears,
Onward TO the sea sublime
To the ocean of the past.
Where. at last,
Shall we rest? Ay, no!
How they go!
Let them CLEAN, and flee, and go,
Each with its appointed train,
Shining somber, swift, and slow,
In your heart of hearts ye know
All those years of earth are vain
Shadows OF the life to be,
Sorrow free,
Use them as God wills. and so,
Let them go!
