LAST BIG RANCH TO CLOSE
Belle Fourche to Surrender Worlds
Title for Cattle Shipping.

With the proposed closing out of
the cattle holdings of the big WV
ranch to the north OF Belle Fourche,
the last OF the large cattle outfits
that few years ago were SO numer-
GUS in that section, the railroad
officials profess to see the loss Of title
for Belle Fourche az the largest single
cattle shipping point in the world. For
nearly a decade that town has enjoyed
this honor. Shipments will be I'M
usually large this year as the drouth
is forcing all cattle owners to ship out
every available head Of stock. Many
OF the smaller owners plan to go out
OF business this fall for the same rea-
son, and It is thought that future
shipments after this year will not be
heavy.

AN EMERGENCY CALL.

A young matron in Oyster Bay has
a maid who is az original and adept
in matters of domestic emergency as
any japanese. A few days ago a trio
of college girl friends arrived unex-
pectedly to luncheon. The young
housekeeper was in despair
What are we to do? There isn't

she cried in desperation. rushing out
into the kitchen.
"Oh, don't bother at all, said the
quick witted maid. Just you go sit
in the parlor with your company and
let me manage-only." she added.

THE LOST PIPE.

Upon the joyous New Years day
threw my briar pipe away. I said
with conscious rectitude: THE
smoking habits base and lewd; It
taints the breath and soils the teeth
and often stains the chin beneath: the
smokers tongue is badly scared, and
he has clinkers in his beard; of nico-
tine he is so full no self respecting
cannibal would eat him raw, well
done or rare; and cen his neckties and
his hair, his hat, his breath, and
trouserloons. suggest plug-cut and
cuspitoons. And 80 I throw my pipe
away upon this gladstone New Years
day; my friends no more will have to
choke and wheeze in my tobacco
smoke" Since then the days drag
slowly on it seems as though 10 years
have gone; l walk the floor the long
night through, and. jealous, watch the
Kitchen flue-for it can smoke and
hold carouse, and not bust AZ vows
the sookstove makes my vitals grlpe,
for it can use its trusty pipe. Thus
far I've kept my vow l swore but do
not tempt me any more; don't talk
of cabbage on the place. or flaunt al

STRENGTH OF PUBLIC OPINION

For the first time in our national
history economics are not regarded as
suitable only for the edification of
the political economist. says f. A.
Van Valkenburg in Success Maya
zine" Economics are coming to be
regarded as a flesh-and- blood, heart
and soul personal problem This is the
selfish enlightenment which is de-
veloping the public opinion which ul-
timately will sweep away misgovern-
ment and civic abuses.
To those whose handspring of ac-
tion is morality, it may not be pleas
ing TO admit that an appeal to mans
selfish instincts is necessary to bring
about changes for good. Let these
good people remember that however
far apart at the beginning two forces
may be that are working for the same
end, their lines must constantly con-
verge. The decisive victory must
come from public opinion. And ma
jority public opinion must come from
a union of altruistic ethical convic-
tions and enlightened economic sell
fishness.
The modern high explosive which
alone possesses the force to shatter
every fortifcation of civic misrule
will be a combination of ethics and
ecOnomics-enlighten selfishness.

THE WOMEN WON 1T.

a great deal of credit for the sue
cess of the late Russo Japanese war |,
due to Japanese women. says q writer
in the Travel Magazine for February
During the entire epic conflict. maid
mother and wife exhibited her spir.
1t of patriotism and heroism by urg.
ing her brother. father son. lover OF
husband to so to the field of battl,
and fight for his country.
Many anecdotes illustrate the self
sacrifice exhibited by the Japanese
women throughout the war. For in
stance, in March. 1904, Ilo Kozo. a
wine peddler of Alasaka, being a re-
servist, was called to the front, leav-
ing behind him his thirty-year-old
wife and two children of three and
SIX years, respectively, without means
of support during his absence. His
wife took up her husbands trade and
day after day dragged a heavy cart
about the streets from customer to
customer, leading the larger child by
the hand and carrying the smallersune
IN a sling across her back. Her hus-
band was disabled in action in the
month of August and sent home, a
cripple. The plucky wife, however
was not daunted by the new burden
imposed upon her, but carried on the
wine-peddling business, supporting
the family by her unaided efforts. A
little while later her husband became
i'll of acute dysentery and the doctor
prescribed a change of climate for
him. This was quite out of the ques-
ton, for the poor woman was unable
to raise the money sufficient for
such a trip for her husband, necessary
though it might be. The magistrate
of Alasaka learning of her stress made
her present of ten yen Give dollars)
for this purpose; but just at that time
the government settled a small PEN
sion on the disabled soldier and Ko-
zos wife returned to the magistrate

it, instead. to some family that was
suffering like hers had been"

T. j. KIRK.

When T. ]. Kirk died at his Athena
home Wednesday, Umatilla county
lost on of its patriarchs. Nearly 40
years ago Mr.. Kirk arrived in this
county and filed upon a homested
claim covering the land where the
little city of Athena stands. At that
early day the land along Wild Horse
creek was not worth from $50 to 800
per acre. No wheat was grown and
there were no wire fences to block
the paths Of the restless riders Of the
range. From the Blue mountains to
the Columbia one could ride and not
open a gate or even catch sight of
one. At that time Mr.. Kirk took up
his home in this county and through
industry and good business judgment
amassed a considerable fortune. He
also was honored in politics and made
a host OF friends who regret his de-
mise.

THE FIGHT is NOT OVER.

No fight is over until it is finished.
Many a battle has been won by men
who have been seemingly forced into
the last ditch. Lord Wellington won
the battle of Waterloo at a late hour
after Napoleon had already sent word
tc Paris that he had gained the vic
tory.
In the fight that the progressive
people of Pendleton are making for
a traction system some opposition is
being encountered. Enemies of this
movement for the advancement Of the
city have done subtle yet effective
work toward blocking the same. They
have resorted to many devices. They
have lied about the terms of the con-
tract and bond signed by the traction
company. They have slandered and
maligned the men of that company
and likewise the men of this city who
are working with devotion and patrio-
tism for the success of this movement.
Local men of strong financial standing
and recognized business and profess
sional honor have been made the tar
get of scurrilous and unjust attacks.
Insinuations that are as false as hell
have been made against the members
OF the soliciting committee. These
things are discouraging and would
make some people quit the fight. But
the men who are backing the present
movement are not of the sort that quit
until the fight is over. There are
scme men there who have fighting
blood" in their veins and it is becom-
ing reused. They will stay in the
fight as long as there is a ray Of hope.
At this time there is much hope
ahead True the fund cannot now be
raised by the first Of the month. Blu,
doubtless an extension Of time can be
secured from the company II there is
a reasonable hope Of getting the
money later. The fight Is not over yet
At this time thing much needed
by the traction movement workers is
the cordial, united support of the ac-
tive, progressive element within the
city. II these people will but stand
together and fight the battle out the
victory may yet be won.

there were people who had not pre-
lviously heard of Spokane they heard
of it then. The famous Plnchot- Bal.
linger controversy started in Spokane
and last fall the president of the
United States waited until he reached
Spokane before he spoke upon that
subject.
Spokane's good fight for just rail-
way rates for itself and for the other
towns of the inland empire has like
wise been notable one. Before the
interstate commerce commission Spo-
kane fought and fought successfully
against the combined forces of the big
coast cities. If Pendleton and the
other small settles of this section Sc
cure terminal rates they will owe Spo-
kane for them.
AS n result of Spokane's rapid
growth the business district of the city
Is being expanded and skyscraper is
to be built on Monroe street between
First and Sprague avenues 1t will
cost s20o0.0O0. Ten years ago the
erection of such building in Spo-
kane would have been considered a
pipe dream" pure and simple.
The growth of Spokane in the past
and at the present time is testimony
to the efficacy Of self help. Spokane
men have built Spokane. They did
hot rely upon God, upon fate or up
on anything save the natural advan-
tages of their town and their own In
domitable push and energy.

THE HABIT OF CHEERFULNESS

"Cheerfulness will attract more
customers. sell more goods. do more
business with less wear and tear than
almost any other quality" says Ori-
son Sweet Marden in Success Maga-
zine." Optimism is the greatest bus
iness-getter, biggest trader. the great
est achiever in the world. Pessimism
has never done anything but tear
down and destroy what optimism has
built up.
"In the business office, as in So
ciety, everywhere, the favorite is al
ways the cheerful person. Good
natured, cheerful people do not waste
their vital energy as rapidly as the
grumbler or the too sober. too sad
people. They work with much less
friction.
Good cheer is great lubricant; it
oils all of life's machinery. Shake
speare says:
"A merry heart goes all the day
Your sad tires in a mile-a''
There is no other life habit which
can give such a prolific return in
Happiness and satisfaction as that of
being cheerful under all circum-
stances. If the resolution to cultivate
lcheerfulness is strongly made at the
very outset. it will not be difficult to
form the cheerful habit. and it will be
the best protection against suffering
and disappointment.
"Cheerfulness is also a great pro-
ducer. 1t adds wonderfully to ones
active ability, and increases mental
and physical power. It makes hosts
Of friends. and helps us to be inter-
esting and agreeable"
Not only is the above very true but
it is also fact that cheerfulness like
good health is a matter that is large
lily in ones own keeping. If you will
take careful note you will find that
those who are gloomy and depressed
have no especial reasons for being so.
You will find cheerful people who
have just as many cares and worries.
They are cheerful because they pre-
fer to be that way and make it a
point to be that way.
