The Brandon news. (Brandon, Miss.) 1892-1961, 1910-08-25

Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God
tc remove from our midst some of those
who, when the trumpet first sounded to
arms, rushed to the rescue and barred
their maEly breasts to the storm, and
placed themselves as a living breastwork
over which the Vandals would first have
to cross ere they desecrated our homes
and frcsides or polluted them with their
foul tread. Though we bow in meek
submission to the will of an all-ruling
Providence, still it is with a comrades
sorrow and brothers love that we mourn
for these who have passed through the
stern realizes Of an active campaign side
by side with us: therefore be it,
I. Resolved, That we deeply dcplorc
the loss of these noble and gallant spirits
who, one by one, have fallen, thus offering
themselves up as martyrs to their cbun-
try's cause, and attest their manly bearing
and cheerful submission to the hardest
fate; that void has been made in our
ranks that can never be filed; fhaf society
has lost good, true and honorable men !;

SAME OLD BUTTERFLY.

In boyhood days he used to chase
That festive butterfly,
And when about to drop the net
He'd neatly poise on high,
He'd stub his toes and hit the earth,
And scrape his features on
A cruel rock-get up to find
That butterfly had gone.
In counting days he used to chase
That same old butterfly,
\ maiden fair as anything
That ever flew on high,
But 10. she let him spend his coin.
And put his watch in pawn,
Then shook him for a drummer and
That butterfly had gone.
When manhoods dignity was reached
That same old butterfly
Dressed up in office colors bright,
Came sailing. fitting by.
He gave it chase and at the polls
He viewed red ruin dawn,
His money, reputation and
That butterfly had gone.
When minus teeth and minus brains
His second childhood drew
The superstition from his mind,
That he was good as new,
4 widow young he married, and
We pause to heave a sigh
/ His coaehman ran away with her
/ Well, same old butterfly.

LET Us DO OUR PART.

The workers for the traction sys-
tenn are now out in earnest to obtain
the fund necessary to insure this great
boon for Pendleton. They are going
to get the money. The movement for
the traction system has grown SO
strong that its progress cannot be
blocked. The rank and file of the
people of Peudleton are behind the
move and they are out to win the
fight. Against this loyal and enthus-
iastic army the forces Of the OPPOSITE
on cannot stand. They must not be
allowed to stand. Pendleton must
win.
It is now merely {. question Of how
soon the necessary money can be
raised and from whom. Already many
Of the leading business men and pro-
gressive property owners have gone
upon the subscription list. The re-
mainder should follow suit at once.
There is no reason why every local
property owner and business man
should not subscribe something to the
traction fund. The benefits from the
establishment of a traction system
will be for all. Perhaps the property
owners will profit the most, yet mer-
chants and everyone else will share
in the gain. All should help in max
ing the improvement possible.
The fact that the traction move
ment has encountered opposition and
that all sorts of obstacles have been
placed in its path should not deter us
for a moment 1t is seldom that any
thing Of value may be obtained with
ease. The fact that powerful interests
are trying to block the enterprise
merely proves that the scheme is OF
importance. The goal is worth while
Thezfact that the opposition is re-
sorting to various underhanded
schemes in hopes Of blocking this en-
terprise should Dut rouse the lhulsh9'
ton Of local people and prompt them
to back the washington-Oregon com
pany with more loyalty than ever
The interests that are trying to jot
the washington-Oregon company are
also jobbing Pendleton. We must no
stand for It. Pendleton cannot afforc
to stand for it the city has too mucf
az stake. We are in the game. w
must fight it out to the very finish.

sufficiently good credentials. he re-
fused to sec them.
Finally a correspondent came with

Newspapers dipped In lamp oil are
splendid for cleaning windows
Irons not much soiled can be rub

To wipe up spilled water or grease

AN IMPROPER ACTION.

That was a remarkable move in
deed taken by Secretary Ballinger
when he made those Withdrawals al
ong the walla walla river It is plain
that the secretary has either been
grossly imposed upon by some one or
else he has knowingly become party
to a despicable piece of jobbery. That
the Withdrawals will stand seems in
credible. They cannot stand when
the truth becomes known.
The land withdrawn from entry
does not constitute water power at
all. Most of it does not even border
the river. 1t is merely land the COM
pany proposes to cross with its flume.
Therefore it is plain the action of the
secretary was not a move in the In
terest of conservation. The govern
ment has nothing there to conserve.
/ The only effect the action can have
will be to possibly hamper the Wash
! lfugton- Oregon company in the devel-
opment of its enterprise. Their en-
terprise is q legitimate one The
+ company has conformed to the law
in all respects and is proceeding in
lhe best of faith to develop its prop
erty. For the company to be hinder
ed by such tactics is have been used
: against it is a rank outrage. Know
: ingly or unknowingly the secretary OF
the interior has used the power Of his
high -fflce for an improper purpose
That the action will be rescindeC
when the full facts are made knowr
7 seems certain. It will be rescindet
lif the government acts fairly and j.

gard for the welfare of umatill'

The inland Herald, of Spokane, is
the newest addition to the journalism
Of the inland empire and from ap-
pearances it is to be a most creditable
addition The Herald is an evening
paper and its first issue was 80 page

bled from all over the United States,
is engaged in publishing the paper
with Allen Haynes as editor and G.
A. Somarindyck as general manager.
The paper has a splendid mechanl-
cal equipment and it would seem has
an excellent chance for a successful

is the idea of those who are backing
the Washington-oregon company in
its enterprise that an additional cleo
trio company win be a splendid thing
for Pendleton. Through securing a
competing company they hope to work
n permanent Improvement in the
lighting service and to secure more
reasonable rates, aside from getting
traction facilities.
Pendleton wants more electrical
power and is backing the new COM
pany because il knows the North
western company does not have sur-
ficient power for this field. The in
stallation of the auxiliary steam plant
Is proof of this fact. Pendleton does
not want to rely upon any Walla
Walla steam plants for electricity,
Traction lines are never operated by
electricity generated from steam
plants. The thing to do at this time
is to develop new power sources. This
the Washington oregon company pro.
pcses to do and that company is en-
titled to all reasonable assistance from
the people of this city. 1t is being
gwen good and loyal assistance.
The promise of better service from
the present company is alright and
should be duly appreciated. But be-
cause Mr.. O'Connor throws US some
thing that looks like a bone we should
not stop in the course we are pursu-
ing

among townspeople that they bear all

do nothing to advance the country.

electrons moving with sucn velocity

and this makes it possible to calculate
the number of particles with which it

eectrons, the number in heavier atoms
being proportionally greater.
Milk powder is produced in the rro-
cess of Lecomte and Lainvile by TIE
application of cold instead of heat.
Either whole or on SKINNED milk is
poured into rectangular vessels like
those used in ice making, and is cooled
to about 28.5 deg. Fahr., in such a
way that it becomes fine snow instead
of a solid mass. The frozen milk is
then revolved very rapidly in centrl
fugal separator. The machine retains
the snow crystals, but expels the
other parts of the milk as a soft
paste, containing still little water.
The paste is placed in moderately
heated drying room to finish the desic-
cation. Only water is removed, and
analysis shows that the milk powder
contains all other constituents quite
unaltered.

had nearly as much nitrogen as the

GRIFFITH WILL RETIRE

Manager Clark Griffith of the Gin
cinnati Reds, made the emphatic an
nouncement recently that he would
probably retire at the close of the
season. Griffith has found the shedding
pretty rough in Rodtown, just as other
managers have found it rough before
him.
The Reds have been a disappoint-
ment so far this year and the fans
have never forgiven Griffith for fail
ing to take his men up into the heat
of battle. At the getaway IT looked as
though the "old fox" had some mater
ial there that would be hard to beat.
but II failed to come up to expecta-
tons.
Griffith says he does not mind the
knocking, but it is noticed that he
watches the press reports with a good
deal of fear and trembling.
