YOUNG WOMEN.

The difficult question of determin-
ing when a woman ceases to be con-
sidered young confronts the Y. w.
C. A. of the country, says the Ex-
aminer In New York the age limit
has been fixed at thirty-five, and in
Chicago, with less consideration, at
thirty, the inference being that as wo-
men go further West they grow old
with more rapidity.
Of course these fixed limitations
are merely for the purpose of estab-
fishing a standard. Many women
are young at forty and some are old
at twenty-five. There is no more
reason for regarding every woman no
longer young at thirty or thirty-five
than for presenting every man with
a bottle of chloroform at sixty. At
thirty five every woman is presumably
old enough to take care Of herself,
and the assumption is not unreason-
AMY slOlchNs
The great objection is the seeming
! hardness of the term. Very few wo-
men wish to be considered middle
aged, much less old, and the compro-
mise mo longer young" is a poor
coating for the pill. To be turned
away from home because at the age
Of thirty she is not young woman Is
cruel affront to any woman's pride.
To be told that only girls are admitted
might prove a soothing and satisfac-
tory balm.
Any topic involving a woman's age
is sensitive and delicate point. and
men may rejoice that in the present
instance the discussion is carried on
solely by women among women.

water at Thorn Hollow and that the
Thorn Hollow project should be taken.
Whether or not there is plenty of wa
ter at Thorn Hollow is a question OF
fully determined. The point is that
the water board is right in striving to
secure a water supply that will serve
all parts of the city all the time. The
new water system should look to serv-
we'll as the Pendleton of the present.

comes forward gets office without op-
position. This is not surprising for
none of the officials draw salaries and
it is not in human nature for men to
look kindly upon jobs that involve
lots of work and no pay
Adopt the commission plan and
this situation will be improved. To
begin with only three men will be
needed instead of nine. Manifestly
it will be easier to find three good
men than to find nine good men. The
salaries will also be an inducement
for men to accept office and a fur
ther inducement will arise from the
fact that the board will be able to
work more satisfactorily and more eff
ficiently than the city council has
ever been able to work.
BY the very nature of things the
commission plan will bring about bet
,cr officials and better service and
that is what we want. Nothing is too
good for Pendleton.

SUPPLY THE HILLS ALSO.

In providing a gravity water system
tang TO obtain water from such a
source that a higher reservoir, or two
OF them. may be obtained. Along
with an abundant supply of good wa
ter it is also necessary to have such
a pressure that the water may be
taken to any part of the city, high or
low.
This is a feature of the proposition
that has been carefully considered by
the water commission. It is one of the
main reasons why the board is anxi-
Gus TO obtain water from Thorn Hol-
low if possible. The Thorn Hollow
-springs are at such an elevation that
water may be brought from them and
used to supply two reservoirs, both
higher in altitude than the one now
in use. 1t would mean that water
would be available everywhere about
the city and under better pressure
than at present.
People who criticise the water board
and who favor using the spring this
side of Cayuse station declare it is not
necessary for the city to provide wa
ter for the higher sections about the
city. Let people live on the lower
land they say. Let them build up
and down the river instead of on the
hills.
In the view Of this paper the critics
are wrong and the water commission
ers are right with reference to this
point The local conditions are such
that It is imperative to have a water
system that will serve the high places
a. well as the low. The hills are more
desirable Cor residence purposes, it
must be granted by all fair minded
people. Then there is more room on
the hills than on the low land about
Pendleton.
on the low land the growth Of Pen
Sieton towards the east is blocked by
the Indian reservation and by exces-
sive distance from the business sec

81 a proper water supply may be had
II is up TO the city to provide such a
water system as will supply the high
places. To fail to do so will mean to
confine the growth of the city to the
low lands and because Of the obstacles
mentioned above that would mean
TO dwarf growth. Should people be
barred from the use of the hills for
residence purposes and be forced tc
use the lower land only the growth oi

WILL IMPROVE AFFAIRS.

One Of the best reasons for the ad-
option Of the commission plan Of
government by Pendleton grows out
OF the difficulty encountered in get
ting good men to run for office under
the present system.
At this time It requires nine men to
fill the positions, mayor and eight
councilmen. It is hard to get men to
run. often II occurs that who ever

Here is story that J. o. Cheno- weth tells on William Grafeman, the ice cream manufacturer:
 Brakeman had been having engine trouble with his motor car, and after each trip to the repair shop the same trouble recurred, only worse.
 Finally, in desperation, Brakeman called on his friend, Emil Gartner, who owns a machine of the same kind, and asked him to look the car over and see if he could find out what was wrong. Gartner carefully inspected the engine and listened to its ca-chug, ca-chug. Then, turning to Grafeman, he announced that there was nothing wrong with the engine except that one of it's cylinders was missing"

most of them -F:zien by persons with little experience in verse making, says the Kansas City Star. The striking thing about the output, however, is not that so many persons who have never written poetry should be eXper- imenting with it, but that nine-tenths of them should be so melancholy. The great majority of poems submitted for publication reflect spirit of gentle gloom.
 What are the wild waves saying" inquire the poets with one accord, And why do they say it? Why should a sense of woe weigh US down? Why are the autumn winds so melancholy ? Why is anything, anyhow?
 careful reading of several hun dred poems of this type does not leave the impression that the writers are such gloomy lot as they might appear One cones to believe that most of them are normally cheerful, but that somehow they have been led to suppose that sadness belongs to poetry.
