Greeley.-That the new Denver.
Greeley & Northwestern Railway Com
pany is to build an important line
which is to be feeder for the Chicago
& Northwestern, Vanderbilt line,
and tap the coal fields of Routt coun-
ty, in western Colorado, is the opin-
ion of many here, who also think the
line eventually will be extended to the
Pacific coast. A. w. Trenholm, one
of the directors of the new road, is
general manager Of the Chicago, St.
Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha railroad,
which is owned by the Chicago &
Northwestern. Grading and laying OF
rails for the new Denver, Greeley &
Northwestern railway will begin be-
tween Denver and Greeley, and If the
road is extended to the coal fields Of
Routt county it is said 1t will run d.
rect from Greeley over the range.

Telling Eish's Ace.

Malloch has made special study OF
salmon. One batch of fish, hatched in
1908, was caught and marked In 1905,
notes being taken about them as they
returned up the Tay river from the
sea. The age of the tree is found out
by counting the rings. after saving
off the butt end. and SO the age and
life history of a salmon can be read
by studying one Of its scales with a
microscope. Scientists can say the
length Of time 1t has been in the sea,
the summers and winters. the spawn
ings-everything is there for him to
read and see; indeed. such work is
simple to anyone with microscope and
enlarged photographs of scales.

The Only OriqlnaI.

George Washington was very small.
very black and very new to the life
of the public school which he had just
entered. His family had emigrated to
the city from some unknown wilder
ness and the officers of the school
board had discovered little George,
and brought him into line with the
prospects Of the higher education. 1t
was his first day and the teacher was
trying to make him at home.
And SO your name is George Wash
ington?" said the teacher.
"Yassum. Jorge Washington"
And l suppose you try to be as like
him as little boy can, don't you?"

For the Critics.

Creston Clark, whose untimely
death at Asheville robbed America of
serious and capable actor. was
somewhat impatient of criticism. To
Philadelphia critic he once said:
You chaps are unwilling to accept
a man for what he is. You want to
change him to your own taste. But
each of you has different taste. To
whose inclination, then, is he to
bend?
No, no! Take the artist for what
he is. That is the right critical atti-
tude. Don't be like the farm urchin
once saw-an urchin who, as he
stoned frog to death, repeated Sc.
verely:

Old Men in Responsibility.

The American business system,
which gives mere boys responsible po-
sitions before they have acquired prac.
tical experience, is to an Englishman
quite unaccountable. He wonders
whether it does not cause reckless
trading and wild speculation. In other
countries they prefer to keep elderly
men in responsible positions because
they can be depended upon. Messrs.
Dyke & Sons, Somerset, England, en-
ploy 6G men. More than half have COM

ORTY-FIVE years have
passed since the close Of
the war between the states,
which permanently solved
the greatest problem ever

confronted by free people
and which cost appallingly in blood
and treasure. In this period of nearly
half a century the country has trav-
eled far in the direction of material
and intellectual development. 1t has
met many new conditions and issues
and the men of the war time have al
most all passed from the scene Of
action. A new generation is now car
rying the national burden. inspired
by the example set in the sixties by
those who went forth to serve with
arms the cause they espoused.
But however great the changes that
have taken place. however long ago
the days when the air was filled with
the reverberations of guns and the
shock of armies. on one day of each
year the men. women and children of
the present turn with one accord to
the graves of those who fell in the
fight or who have fallen since in the

their honorable service, and give evil

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1910-11-14

statement made Saturday at the meet
ing of the Farmers Union by Ed Du-
Puts, the well known fruit grower
residing on his farm a few miles west
Of Pendleton.
If this condition is true it is to be
deplored. "Patronize home industry"
should be the motto of every COM
munity and this motto should be ap-
piled to fruit and vegetables produc-
ed at home just as much as to any
manufactured article.
It was demonstrated at the recent
district fair that apples grown along
the Umatilla river are capable of
winning prizes over the same varie-
ties grown in some of the more IA
nous fruit sections. The local grow
ers are taking just as good care OF
their orchards, the apples are just as
free from worms. just as red and
juicy and they are being packed just
as attractively. Therefore instead Of
going begging at lower prices the
home grown fruit should be in de-
mand at higher prices.
