|SOME new YEAR SUGGESTIONS

The old habit OF swearing off or

Year resolutions are like valuable
China, it is with care only that it is
broken The thing to do is to stop

route.

is but one suggestion that is offered.
Take keener interest i'll advanc-
ing agriculture in this county. There
is room for half hundred families
on lands that are now practically
useless, as they are not cultivated.
The efforts OF the County Associa-
ton should in the next season be the
means OF bringing i'll a number OF
families on lands that are optioned
and being put in farming condition.
Let every taxpayer aid in this line.

DIVINE RIGHT WILLIAM.

The indications are that Kaiser Will
helms "divine right theory" is going
to have a hard, cold winter, says a
writer in Success Magazine" The So
cialists, led by Herr Ledebour, recent
ly made bitter attack in the Reich
stag upon the emperor's Koeningsbure
speech, openly accusing him of dis
torting history in the effort to prove
that the ancient Prussan kings de-
rived authority from anything but the
will. of the people and frankly avow
ing their ideal to make Germany a re-
public. The attack was unprecedent
ed in its frankness and it is eviden
that freedom of speech has made
great headway in the German EN-
pire. The imperial chancellor had {
hard task defending his royal mas
ter's proposition.
With the constitutional victories il
Turkey and Persia, with the republic
of. Portugal well under way, with th'
king of Spain making desperate con
cessions in order to retain his crown
with representative government soor

Greece, Egypt and India, it is eviden
that the "open season. for divin

BUILDING A LOG CABIN.

"a log cabin is coZier than any
tent when Jack Frost is abroad" says
Horace Kephart in the December
outing. He continues:
when one has been out all day in
the snow, it is good to come back to
big stone fireplace full of cracking
logs. 1t is good to have a dry floor,
wall of pegs and shelves; to have
benches or stools, and a big table,
chests that. are vermin-proof, and a
cupboard full of handy things that no
nomad can tote around.
THAT is what many a hunter will
be thinking before the big game sea-
son is over, and many a one will be
planning some sort OF hut for seasons
to come.
"Since good hunting is seldom found
in the neighborhood of a sawmill, a
lumberyard, or a wagon road, the
crux of the cabin scheme is how to
get roofing material. Bark is flimsy
and will scarce outlast the season

in question probably meant, is that
the American woman shows more
traces of refinement tnan the man,
which is very different proposition.
1t is true that women have by far the
greater opportunities, and that they
largely employ them. But any true
woman is able to give of that refine
ment to others. 1t Is very i'll assort-
ed couple where the husband does
not in some mysterious way absorb
some of that refinement which is his
wife's in large measure by nature.

FINANCING THE ROUNDUP.

Tomorrow morning actual work will
Tbe undertaken in behalf of a Greater
Roundup. The preliminary plans for
improving and enlarging the show
have all been worked out and the II
acre Matlock tract has been bargain
ed for. The directors now want the
money with which to carry out their
plans and in the morning nine SUBJ
committees will go forth to raise
/. fund of $4,000.
It should not be hard at all for the
committees to raise this sum. 1t is
small amount when the magnitude of
the Roundup is considered and when
consideration is given to the benefits
Pendleton derives from the big from
tier show.
The Roundup is making the name
of Pendleton known far and wide
Local people returning from other
sections of the northwest report that
interest in the show is widespread
and genuine and that thousands are
. planning to come here next fall to
witness the spectacle. One Umatilla
county man who has just returned
: from a trip to Washington, D. c., re-
3 ports that while in that city he was
frequently asked regarding the Round
up. The fame of our show has ac-
? tually spread from shore to shore.
From the Roundup Pendleton is
getting much advertising and it is
getting business. From the thousands
who will be here this fall to see the
2 show local people will collect more
money than will be needed to finance
the Roundup. Then the Roundup
rcuses a local spirit that is beneficial
The big show creates stir and enthu.
siasm that brings on other benefits
The Roundup held last fall did much
to create a spirit Of optimism that Il
now prevalent in local circles.

done and will do for this city surel!

men may well afford to back it liber

are asking for no more money tha
is actually needed and no money vii

preliminary work accomplished with
money drawn from the general re-
clamation fund.
Just why the governments an
nouncoment regarding the Umatilla
project was not made sooner seems
queer, Doubtless it has been intend
Ell all the time that this work should
be done. 1t is inconceivable that a
few resolutions by commercial clubs
and some night messages have caus-
ed the government to revise its in
tentions with reference to reclamation
work that involves the expenditure
OF many millions.
To be plain it looks like the gov
ernment has been playing horse"
with this state and if so it would be
interesting to know why. Is it pos
sible that the administration does not
like the oregon system of direct
nominations and direct legislation and
takes this means of showing its dis
approval? Is it possible the admin
istration politicians were offended be-
cause the people of Oregon voted for
progressive democrat for governor
in preference to a reactionary re-
publican? Or was the government
action the result of a neatly laid
scheme to discredit the Oregon sena-
tors. This latter seems the most
plausible for the powers that be- in
the republican party in Oregon de-
light in hazing our senators and they
seem to have the administration with
them in their game.
From a local standpoint these fea-
lures of the case are of little import
ance, it is true. If the project is to
be extended that is enough. We will
not worry greatly over the political
aspects of the project extension. Yet
speculation as to the cause of the gov
|ernment's peculiar behavior seems in
order and therefore the foregoing is
offered for. what it is worth.

GOING SOME.

The recently appointed chief jus
tice is pretty good story teller. He
was formerly Louisiana sugar plant
er, and this Is one of the stories at
tributed to him.
Two negroes on a Louisiana planta-
ton became involved in a row with
another Ethiopian who was handy with
a gun. The two started to run about
the time the bad man began to shoot.
The fleeing ones had proceeded about
100 yards when the following dia-
logue occurred:
Sam, you hear dat bullet?"
"Yes, l hearn 1.-TWO times"
How you mean two times?" asked
the questloner, as he quickened his
pace.
II hearn dat bullet once when It
passed me, and den anudder time

tween short breaths.-New York Tri-

"DO MEN LACK CUITURE?"

do Men Lack Cuiture?" is the
theme of a brief but forceful paper
by Joheph NJ. Rogers, in the January
Lippincott's.
THE fact is undoubted that even
according to our own standards, wo-
men have apparently higher culture
or at least a higher veneer of culture
than men-taking the average" de-
clares Mr. Rogers. "The visitors at
art galleries are almost exclusively
women and the symphony concerts
and musical recitals of all kinds would
perish but for their patronage AL
though men attend the theater and
the opera, it is largely on the initia-
tive of the women, while women are
by far the greater readers Of books
especially of fiction, With all this, it
is not true that of the really cultured
people in this country majority are
women. The feminine mind is intui-
| tive and receptive, but seldom logical
I or constructive. Woman gets her cul-
ture largely by plastering it on the
outside of gentle nature and an emo
tional personality. The man gets his

| iginal investigation. The things which
really develop culture are almost
wholly produced by men-which
seems a sufficient answer.
"The matter is further complicated
| by the fact that women are apt to
keep all their goods in the shop-win-
dow. This is no blame to them; it Is
essentially a part of their nature. The
man of real culture is generally a
silent, unobtrusive person. He shines
only in the company of men like him
self. He Is likely to give false inn
preston of Indifference, especially in
the presence of women, because he
does not like blue stockings and be-
cause he feels that women do not &c
to the bottom of things, and to dis
cuss the shell is waste Of time.
