HOW 1T WAS DONE.

Few people realize the hard, per-
sistent work that was required to
make the traction movement succeed.
Ii was not an easy task at all. 1t was
a long. hard fight and until yester-
DAY no one knew what the outcome
would be-
Members of the original committee
especially had a work out" That
committee was named last fall and 1t
has worked upon this proposition for
months. 1t worked under the most
adverse circumstances. Many times
defeat seemed almost inevitable, yet
the members stayed with the job.
Having placed their hands upon the
plow they did not look back.
But of course DR.. Smith and his fell
lew committeeman could not have won
the fight alone. Even though the
committee contained such war hors-
es" as Judge Fee R. Alexander, Leon
Cohen, Mayor Murphy and Will Moore
the fight would have been lost had
not others come to the support of the
movement. 1t was the strength
brought by w. L. Thompson and the
others of the enlarged committee that
put new hope in the breasts of the
traction workers and caused them to
redouble their efforts.
Finally it was the loyal and en-
thusiastic support given the move
uent by the merchants and small
property owners that made the move
ment successful without a red cent
from any of the really big property
owners, $4,000 was raised and the
bargain clinched. The fact that such
was done is a high tribute to the en-
/ terprise and public spiritedness of the
/ business men Of this city. Towns that
have people like this never stand still.
Pendleton is not going to stand still
Favored by nature and backed by the
indomitable spirit of its people this
city is going forward-it is going to
. become a real city.

lgc Snubbed the Emperor.
(Rochester Herald.)

1t is not often that the German EN-
peror allows himself to be snubbed by
one of his own subjects, but an actual
instance occurred last summer. His
Majesty was on board the Hohenzol-
lern. and approaching a certain Ger
man port on the North Sea. The I'M
perial yacht took on pilot, and this
authority posted himself at the wheel
The Emperor who regards himself
as a perfect master of steering, sta
toned himself in the vicinity Of the
pilot, and suggested giving him hand
at the wheel.
The rough sea-dog, not recognizing
the Emperor, turned round with a
snarl.
Are you pilot, or am u" he
growled.
Amazed. Wilhelm ii retired crest
fallen to his staterOom. Be he'thought
better of it, and in a few minutes re-
turned to the bridge, and in great
humility laid a box of cigars beside the
pilot, with the remark;
Thou art the pilot"

traction system and to other new en-

the Importance of a friendly admin
istration was recognized. Now that
the long campaign is over, or at least
the crisis is passed, this paper is
highly pleased, The East Oregonian

store for Pendleton and congratulates
the progressive people of this city up
on the good work they have done.

WE HAVE WON OUT.

The fight is over and the bells of
victory are ringing They make
sweet music for those who waged the
long. hard struggle to secure a trac-
ton system for this city. In the fact
that the traction movement has sue
ceeded there is reward for the brigade
OF workers who have devoted their
time so Loyalty and earnestly to the
cause. 1t was a hard fight, but we
won out.
In the view Of the East Oregonian
the success of the traction movement
is Of vast significance with respects
to the future of this little city. Why
a traction system is needed this pa
per has pointed out many times. II
would be tiresome to repeat those
reasons here. 1t is sufficient to say
that the establishment Of a traction
system with this city as the center of
operstions will place Pendleton in
position to advance and to hold its
rank as the commercial center of the
great empire in which it is located.
That such a traction system will now
lie provided seems sure. OF course
the company wants further local sup
port. But it has a plan for securing
It That the company will proceed
quickly towards the construction of in
terurban lines as well as with the
work within this city is promised.
There can be no reasonable fear that
the interurban roads will not be built.
The company could not think of de-
veloping an expensive power plant
merely to provide power for street
cars to be operated in Pendleton and
suburbs. The interurban lines will be
the money makers.
Then the success of the traction
movement is also significant in an
other way. 1t marks the beginning of
new era in this city. A renaiss-
ance. During the past few years Pen
dleton has been quiet in some respects
A spirit Of pessimism has prevailed.
This has been especially noticeable
among the heavy property owners.
These men have acted in a peculiar
manner. They have acted like child
who, having a headache, refuses all
comfort and asks only to be allowed
to die.
But the great majority or the peo-
pie Of this city are not of the pessi-
mistic type. They have not lost
heart On the contrary they have
faith in Pendleton and faith in their
ability to make the town better. The
East oregonian has been with these
people heart and soul. It has con-
tinually encouraged them and led
them forward. 1t counselled them TO
put an end to croaking and to rely
upon self help. In line with this pol
icy this paper has advised local peo-
pie TO give the Oregon
company the support that was re-
quested. This paper has backed the
traction movement from start TO I'm
ish. The East Oregonian urged the

STANDARD GETS FOURTH
WELL IN SECTION THIRTY

TAFT, April 16.-Standard Offs No.
4, at the center Of 3032-24, has come
in bigger than it's No. 3 and No. q,
which preceded it in point of time. The
well is producing in excess of $1,000
barrels day through a three-inch
opening. On Monday last test was
made and the well made 279S barrels in
five hours, or at the rate of 1900 bar
rels day. owing to the fact that the
outlet Is pinched in to a diameter as
small as safety will allow and still the
production is enormous. the well is
in some quarters believed to be equal
to the Lake View. 1t appears to be
thoroughly under control.
No. 2 continues to make about 1000
barrels day. and No. 3, the first one
in, yields about 500 barrels.
The company is in a quandary in the
handling of its oil and is laying a sec
ond pipe line from the Midway field to
Kern river, where it's large reservoirs
are located. Its own production has
grown so great that this, together with
its purchases, makes the existing line
altogether inadequate. Producers in
the field are eagerly awaiting the COM
pletion of the Producers and Associated
lines to relieve the situation.
On 20, where the strike from all ap-
pearances is considered better than
anything made on 80, the Standard has
installed rotary.

WOMEN MAKING
THEIR COLD CREAM
Absence Of Animal Oils In
Sured by Home Manufacture
---SOme Good Recipes

To make sure of getting cold
cream in which there are no animal
oils many women like TO compound
their own massage creams.
They often fail TO get results from
a good recipe by not understanding
the art OF compounding. All cold
creams are made in the same way.
The fatty substances are put in d
double boiler and melted, stirring con-
stantly. When all are melted turn out
in a bowl and stir, scraping down
from sides.
The chief trouble comes in adding
the extracts and astringents. which
must be added gradually when the
fatty base is partially cold. Add first
any perfumed waters. drop by drop
beating constantly With a silver fork
then all tinctures or extracts last OF
all. These go in drop by drol
also.
