Weakness of character Is develop
ed in some people by the pretense to
goodness; sham piety is a breeder Of
impiety.
Reputation, when bad, is most
troublesome; it takes so much time
keeping the neighbors from attacking
and injuring it.
Man does the best he knows how;
find fault with what he has done and
he hates you, but teach him how to
do better and he loves you.
Man either drifts or drives while
here below; chance and circumstan-
ces may land us to the pearly gates,
but purpose. poise and power will put
us through.
Despair squanders your effort and
care puts away your power; faith
to artificial meat. The idea of tearing
makes effort and power overcome
care and despair.
You will never win If you never be-
gin and prove that you are sure; mans
knowing must be proven by his do.

About sixty years later the wool

WHY WILD AND WOODY.

"Our wooden manufacturers" OBJ

thirty-five years ago, "have been
more successful than any other class
in persuading the legislature that the
prosperity Of the nation depends up
en- the success Of their particular bus
iress. They have not only obtained
monopoly against the consumer by
prohibiting importation of woolen
cloths, but they have obtained an
other monopoly against the sheep far

NEWSPAPER EDUCATION.

When David c. Broderick was elect

he had started life in the same pre-

TELL OF THE HARVEST.

Mrs. c. D. Crow who far the past
year has been living with her hus-
band on the John Crow farm SOUTH
east of Pendleton has set an example
, dent of Pendleton and Umatilla coun-
ty. 1t is an example that if followed
would result in a greater influx Of
homeseekers to this part Of Oregon
within the next few months than all
the booster organizations and boost
er literature will be able to attract in
a period Of many years.
It seems that Mrs. Crow formerly
lived in or near Davenport, Wash
fngton and that she was so impressed
with this seasons grain crop that
she proceeded to write a letter back
to the "home paper the Davenport
Tribune. In this letter she not only
told of the wonderful crops being
harvested but she sent along samples
Of the grain to support her state
ments. She also sent samples Of
timothy which was found in a draw
on the Crow farm and called upon
the most famous producer Of tim
cthy in the Davenport country to
''beat it" The result was that the
Tribune published portions Of the let
ter and commented upon 1t favorably.
Now the point sought to be made by
this editorial is that If similar letters
are sent by the other country and
town residents to their friends and
"home papers" in the eastern and
middle western states, telling Of the
actual facts concerning crop condi-
tons. that the need for the expend-
ing of large sums of money for boost
er purposes will no longer exist. Only
a few minutes Of time would be re-
CURED and the good to be accom-
plished would be beyond estimation.
The grain crop is not the only one
Deserving to be reported for true
stories could be told Of fruit, vege-
table and hay conditions that would
not only make the fasteners "sit
up and take notice" but would make
many Of them pack up and start
west.

ONE ON FATHER.

William had just returned from col
lege resplendent in peg-top trousers,
silk hosiery, fancy waistcoat, and a
necktie that spoke for itself. He en-
tered the library where his father was
reading. The old gentleman looked
up and surveyed his son. The longer
he looked, the more disguested he be-
came.
Son" he finally blurted out, "you
look like d fool!'
Later, the old major who lived next
door came in and greeted the boy
heartily. william" he said, with un-
disguised admiration, "you look exact

years ago when he came back from

SOME HEAT.

In the center of the garden, on a
pedestal. stood a large glass globe.
AS the guests sauntered about, after
dinner. one of them, happening TO
touch it, discovered to his amazement
that it was warmer on the shady side
than on the side facing the sun.
An argument Immediately sprank
up; and in the course of the debate,
the phenomenon was attributed to the
law of reflection or that of repulsion,
or something equally formidable.

It was married mems night at the

ENGLISH COFFEE.

The American opinion of coffee as

high, and how the coffee of the Eng

be understood from the following
travellers tale:

1t was in the afternoon of May 16
that the killing occurred.
AT the inquest it was testified that
the OLD man was zig-z tagging across
the road and Cluney himself says that
he could not avoid the accident.
Nevertheless the grand jury of the
Territory, which was in session yes
terday, has found it necessary to bring
in a true bill, believing there is sutfi-
cient evidence to require a trial of
Cluney whose machine was running
at a high rate of speed, resulting in
the death of the old man mentioned.

Judge Cooper in circuit court this
forenoon found Masaki, amateur
chauffeur, guilty of Needless driving,
and will sentence him tomorrow.
Masaki, who drives machine 465,
for Blanche Martin, was on April l
going down Fort street when Rapid
Transit car was coming up.
Between the car and the curb Mrs.
Kaleialii, sister of James Boyd, who
was either standing, waiting for the
approaching trolley car, or was in the
act of walking from the curb to board
the car.
In any event Masakis machine
bumped into the lady, who is ad-
vancing in years, tumbled her over
and, as is alleged by some witnesses,
the right forward wheel went over
the small of her back. She was laid
up two weeks, suffering much.
McGrew of the customs and census
departments, was the star witness for
the prosecution. His testimony was
clear and emphatic. He was getting
off the trolley car when he saw the
accident. He started to rush to the
assistance of the lady, but she had
been helped up before he reached her.

that a warrant had been served on
Edward Cluney, chauffeur, to appear
before Judge Cooper at o'clock this

charges him with the killing of an aged
Portuguese, John De Mello Barboza,
while Cluney is alleged to have been

miles an hour striking and killing the
old man when he was in the middle of

TWO AUTO DRIVERS BROUGHT TO JUSTICE
CHAUFFEUR COMMITS
ASSAULT AND BATTERY

Masaki had been running the car
less than a month and was an ANA.
teur at the business. He had no Ii
cense. Nevertheless he was going
very slow and there seems to have
been an unhappy confusion of under.
standing, or a lack of understanding
between the green chauffeur and the
lady in the street.
He tried to get between the lady
and the car and the lady got the worst
of the deal.
Judge Cooper advanced the PROPOSE
tion that such cases couI be con-
sidered as would be considered cases
of assault and battery. The assault
was evident and it was up to the de-
fendant to prove justification. In this
the defendant apparently failed, hence
the judgment of guilty, and sentence
comes tomorrow.
Masaki was fined S100 in police
court. He appealed, and his uTd.
mate sentence will be known tomor-
row.

ty Attorney Cathcart prosecuted. H.
