MONDAYS STORM.

The storm of Monday did some damage in this par
sh in the way of blowing down fences and uproot-
ing trees, but no one suffered personal injury that
we know Of In the Second Ward and in other sec
tions hail accompanied the storm. At Ablta Springs
the pavilion for passengers that had just been
peted by the New Orleans Great Northern Railroad
Co., was blown down. There was some damage to
corn and other crops.
Other sections of the State seem to have suffered
from the storm of Sunday. On that day the hall Of
the Woodmen of the World was demolished at Anna.
Houses, fences and trees were blown down Mon
day at Rose, La, and also at Abbeville.

in the matter OF publicity work and
also in urging closer development Of
the country. Both the Hartman and
the Hill roads maintain extensive
publicity bureaus and they do effec,
tive work towards bringing settlers
westward.
Then look at the demonstration
train that is even now making the
tour Of eastern Oregon. 1t is an ell
aborate train and the use of tina am
cunt Of equipment for the ten days
run means a big expense to the o. r.
* y. company. 1t is decidedly cred
liable to the officials of that road
that they are willing to bear this
expense. The fact that the railroad
Is willing to cooperate with the men
from the oregon agricultural college
in carrying on their campaign for
more intensive farming shows that
the railway officials are Of the pro-
gressive class.

MUSIC HATH

The East Oregonian feels sure that
local people want to have a good
band maintained within his city and
that they will gladly contribute to a
fund To provide weekly concerts dur
ing the spring and summer. ..othing
could serve better to enliven the
town and provide entertainment for
visiting as well as local people than a
good concert band. Then. further
more it is a favorable time to take
action in this regard. The musicians
seem to be working in harmony and
they have "a competente man in view
for director Of the band. Let US ar
range for the concerts and incident
ally provide support for the band.

USE IT SPARINGLY.

That Is proper advice the Oregon
Journal gives to those who would
abuse the Initiative by invoking It in
too many instances. 1t is a fact that
the initiative may fall into discredit
il it IS used 50 frequently hat the
people find their newly secured power
too great a bore.
Direct legislation has opponents,
and they are crafty" says the Jour-
nal. The initiative and referen-
dunn is a menace to our business pros
perity,' declared the Sellwood Re-
publican club, and the O~regonian ap-
plauded, \ telephone corporation is
trying to destroy the measure in the
United States courts n a constitu-
tional convention is planned to scut
tie direct legislation If the courts fail
II Kill ii. Little is said against. the
initiative by its enemies now. be-
cause they are engaged in first
strangling the direct primary. and
then by packing the offices and legis-
lature with their trusted ~lieutenants
they will be in better position to cut
the heart out Of direct legislation.
Crafty and cunning, they know the
game. and will play it with the fine
Italian hand Of skilled experts. Just
as the direct primary law is ~assailed
now, direct legislation will be attack
ed later"
True friends Of the initiative and
referendum will seek to frown down
overuse Of either. For the coming
election the initiative should not be
invoked except in rare instances. If
there are a host of new bills for peo-
pie to vote upon next November that
very fact will be used as an argument
against the initiative. There are
plenty Of people who would like to
see the initiative kill itself by it's own
weight.

COME HERE \

The big Inland Empire convention
IA now finished n this evening some
700 or 500 teachers are preparing to
return to their homes in four differ
ent states of the northwest. By
special train the Baker City and La
Grande delegations leave at 7 o'clock.
Tomorrow they will all be gone and
the twelfth annual session of the as
ISOLATION will be but a memory.
According to those who have been
ir attendance at the present conven-
ton and have attended other ses-
sions in the past, this years meeting
has been the most successful in the
history of the association. The pro-
gram has included some splendid fea,
lures and it will be strange indeed If
those who have listened to the noted
speakers have 0 profited thereby.
The visitors have also been gener-
Gus in praise of the treatment they
have received from local people. They
have strongly complimented the man
ner in which they were provided with
accommodations and they have shown
appreciation of the social courtesies
that were extended them.
II Pendleton has pleased the teach
ers by the name in which it has
entertained them, very we'll. That
was the intention. The people Of this
city like to have conventions NEE,
here and they were especially glad
to have the Inland Empire teachers
convention this year. 1t was one OF
the largest conventions this city has
eve entertained and in personnel
certainly one Of the incest. If the
teachers have enjoyed their stay, 50
has Pendleton. Come again.

THE CONTENTED A

There was once a nan who smiled
Because the day was bright.
Because he slept at night,
Because God gave him sight
To gaze upon his child;
Because his little one
Could leap and laugh and run,
Because the distant sun
Smiled on the earth, he smiled.
He smiled because the sky
Was high above his head.
Because the rose was red.
Because the past was dead,
He eve wondered why
The Lord had Numbered so
That all things have to go
The wrong way here below
The o~ver-reaching sky.
He toiled and still was glad
Because the air was free.
Because he loved. and she
That claimed his love, and he
Shared all the joys they had!
Because the grasses grew.
Because the sweet winds blew,
Because that he could hew
And hammer, he was glad.
Because he lived and smiled
And did not look ahead
With bitterness or dread,
But nightly sought his bed
As calmly as a child.
And people called him mad
For being always glad
With such things as he had.
And shook their heads-and smile
Selected.

the sort ever before operated in the

some men who are doing a valuable

includes men who have made both a
scientific and practical study Of the
methods Of farming, horticulture,
livestock raising and kindred SUBJ
jects. Those men have a message for
the people Of eastern Oregon. They
have some information that cannot
fail to be Of benefit to farmers, or

who do not see the demonstration

On going from the city of
washington to Mt. Vernon the
traveller has an unequaled oppor-
&unity to view 80 miles of mag
a1ificent scenery on the historic
Potomac.
At l::45p. m. Tuesday, May 18th,
about 200 anxious passengers
embarked the lovely steel steam
er, the Charles Manchester,
for the above-named point, and
among this number were repre-
sentatives of almost every State
IN the Union, from Maine to
Oregon.
Many points of interest were
passed, but the following were
noticed especially and enumer-
=ated.
Immediately on steaming out
from the dock at Washington we
are looking upon Potomac Park,
which contains 1000 acres of re.
claimed land. So fascinating ano
eeeHitching is it's beauty that one
almost forgets that there is any
other place of attraction.
But we are reminded in brie1
moment that the United State.
arsenal must be recognized. Thi'
place is famous as the spot wher,
Mrs Surratt, Payne, Atzcrod
and Herold were executed.
