others lashed together and moving

portant agreement the people of both
countries have long called for. The
agreement when ratified, will go down
in the history of North America, as
one of the most beneficial for both
countries and will make Mr. VIM Taft

statesmen of the age. Where does
Oregon get hurt by this agreement
Not by cree wheat, for 1 get as much
for my wheat here as l could in PEN

NO CRITICISM JUSTIFIED.

The Oregonian, unable to make
Governor West do things it would liks
to have him do, resorts to criticism
OF that official and of Treasurer Kay.
1t sneers at them because they are 60
ing to build the branch asylum on
land purchased by the former acting
governor. However the present
board is not using the building site
proposed by BOwerman who expected
t" have the building erected on the
Hill land. The buildings will go upon
the bottom land as recommended by
the legislative committee. There can
be no just criticism of the state
board for what it is now doing Es-
pecially so since it seems the board
has no choice other than to use the
Oliver land.

sort to the old plan of having mem-
bers OF the court supervise road
work in their respective sections. The
East oregonian is confident of this
because it remembers the former ex-
perience with that system. This pa
per remembers the complaints il
heard almost daily when the members
Of the court supervised the road work
but devoted most of their time to rid
ing around on o. r. & n, trains 1t
was freely charged that they were
swelling their personal accounts but
were doing the county but little good.
There are reasons for believing that
the charges We're largely Justified
In preference to that way of sup
ervising road work the plan of Judge
Maloney to have three roadmasters do
the work sounds businesslike. The
roadmasters would be practical men
ana would be right upon the job"
They could drive the work through
and get it done when it should be
done, That is half the battle when it
comes to road work in this country.
The roadmasters would be paid only
for such time as they worked and If
they did not give good service the
court could discharge them any time.
What the commissioners are going
10 do about this matter the East Ore
Sonian does not know. But this pa
per does know that they will satisfy
the people better if they forego the
Ilan of supervising the roads them
selves. The people dislike that sys-
TEN and are suspicious Of it

THE SULLEN GIRL.

/ The girl who thinks it fine thing
| to- cultivate melancholy or sullen
spirit is missing her way in life and
owes it to herself to try to find the
right pathway as quickly as possible.
Sullenness is a distinctly unattrac-
tive trait, and the girl who is dis
posed to acquire it should make every
effort to throw it off. 1t will bring
her no friends and it will drive those
she has from her. The girl who ex-
poets to get on in the world should
cultivate sunny disposition and an
attractive manner
There is a certain type of girl who
thinks it is a show of fine feeling to
pout at everything in which mother
opposes her and to make a showing
Of sullen resentment every time she
is crossed in anything. If such girls
could only see themselves as others
see them what a change would come
over them, for no girl would want to
appear as repellant as the actions OF
this type of girl paint her.
The world always has a welcome
for the girl with the shining face and
the cheerful voice. 1t has no welcome
for the girl of beclouded brow and
that most things run away from the
gloomy and doleful.
The cheerful girl goes through life
winning friends by her good natule
and holding them because she is
worth it. In winter time we love ,ne
fire for its glow and sparkle. In
this old world of ours we love the
sunshine, the bright flowers, the bril-
liantly plumed and sweet-voiced birds
and We worship the girl who is WIN
some and good natured. She has a
place in every heart and none can
displace her. She may pass out of
the range of our mortal vision, but
she becomes enshrined among our
sweetest memories, and so lives on
forever.
One must pity the girl who is so
short-sighted as to barter her smiles
for frowns; her cheerfulness for rle
clouds of discomfort, and the sweet
sympathy and love of others for her
own gloomy thoughts. 1t is as IL one
gave up the sunshine and the beauty
of a great summer day to live in a
dark, damp cellar.
The world needs all the smiles its
people can give it, and especially those
Of its young people. It's a weary ON
place, but the cheerfulness Of young
people keeps it youthful and happy
and bright. And it is fortunate that
for every girl who tries to be sullen
and melancholy there are a hun0red
who are happy sprites, perpetuating
youth and sending it's glow over all
the world.
So, little girl, make your own sun
shine and make the sunshine for 9TH
ers while you may. The stern reali-
ties of mature life will soon enough
bring the thoughtful brow and tie
wearied brain. Enjoy life while you
may, so that if the latter portion of it
be not so care free the remembrance
of the other happy days will keep
your little corner bright and you from
becoming a grabbed and sour woman.
Selected.

Wainwright Alberta, Can, Feb. 2S
editor East n)-About
two years ago in a letter to the E.
o. called the attention of your read
ers to what a fine market they could
have II there was no tariff wall be-
tween the U. S. and Canada in regard
to all kinds Of fruit and early vege-
tables here in Alberta and Saskatche-
wan and the editor of the E. o. COM
mended my letter to the readers for
consideration. But to my surprise
and disappointment 1 see by your pa
per that the Oregon legislature in
structed by an almost unanimous res
oluion, the Oregon delegation in con-
gress to oppose the Canadian recip-
rocity agreement This would be con-
sidered in this country a vote Of want
Of confidence In the government. Now
II is my humble opinion that Mr.. Taft
deserves better treatment from the
people of Oregon. II Is only a few
months ago that Umatilla county and
Portland begged the president to not
turn the west Umatilla extension down
and Mr.. Taft reconsidered and order
ed the U. s. engineers to make sur
veys and they are now actually on
the ground. But when Mr.. Taft Is
looking for new markets in order that
the settlers on those projects may be
able to pay the government the mil
lions back you are trying to tie his
hands and your legislature instructs
your congressman to vote against the
most important statesmanlike act of
his whole term Of office. This i'm

THERE WITH THE GOODS"

II is fine news that the water COM
nissioners are going to hold an cleo
ton to vote bonds for a gravity water
s! stem as soon as the necessary legal
steps can be taken. 1t is good news
that the city administration is to ex-
tend the sewer system, build a new
Main street bridge and prepare the
way for extensive street improvements
1t is fine to know that the people will
have an opportunity to vote for a new
high school March 2S.
All of these improvements are
needed. They have been needed for
a long time. The work proposed
should really have been done regard
less Of the branch asylum. But now
that such an institution has been
placed here the work is made imper-
ative. Pendleton cannot have the
branch asylum unless the city is will
ing to provide the institution with an
ample supply of pure water. The in
stitution will not be built unless the
sewer is extended so as to protect the
health Of the inmates. The need of
new bridge and Of street work j.
further emphasized by the coming OF
the branch hospital 1t is up to the
city to provide decent thoroughfares
leading to the big institution.
With the location OF the branch
asylum adjoining this city and with
the state board ready to commence
operations this place confronts a sit
uation. By the action of the water
board and Of the city administration
Pendleton has grasped the situation
firmly and with both hands, so as to
speak. This city is saying to the re-
mainder Of the state, You have CIV
en US valuable institution and we
appreciate It. We are going to do
what is right by the state and by the
branch hospital We will not wait to
be muck raked' or driven to do our
duty. We will act quickly and Of our
own accord"
Another feature that is satisfactory
Just now is the fact that the building
and construction work to be done
here soon will make things lively
With million dollars worth of local
work in sight Pendleton'ans have a
right to cheer up and be glad. Get
into the harness and pull for a bigger
and better Pendleton. Raus with the
scoffer and the pessimist. 1t is all off
with them.
You cannot keep a good town down

PIE IN ART.

An artist in Chicago tells of lady
in that town, who, with her maid
went TO purchase a still-life picture
for her dining room.
She selected a canvas on which
We're painted a bunch of flowers, a
pie cut in two, and a roll, and was
about to pay twenty-five dollars for
it when her maid approached to wis
per in her ear.
Excuse me, ma'am," said the SER
want, but you are making a bad bar
gain. I saw picture very much like
this sold the other day for fifteen dol
lars"

1T MUST BE DONE.

Returning from California w. E.
Brock declares he is more favorable
than ever to the plan for erecting a
new high school. He says the i'm
provement must be made if this city
expects to be classed as a good town
and as a place that does its duty by
its young people.
Unquestionably Mr.. Brock is right
Pendleton cannot afford to be parsi-
monous with respects to its schools.
This is a solid, substantial little city
and one of the wealthiest places of
its size in the west. But it has never
spent much money on school build
ings. The present high school has
been in use for many years and has
long been out of date and inadequate.
The three grade schools erected six
years ago were built at a total cost of
S60,0OO. There are many people who
now regret the city did not spend
100000 then instead of 100000. The
schools could have been better built
and the Lincoln school could have
been completed.
On March 23 the people of the city
will have an opportunity to vote for
new high school and by so doing
make up for some past neglect along
this line.
