climb aboard.
It was an open car. with transverse
seats, and Maku had chosen q position
about twothirds Of the way back
There was. as yet. only one other pas

being seen by Maku was Q hard prob

taking q chance. Walking rapidly to-
ward the next corner. away from the
car. he got out Of the direct rays Of
the street lamp and waited.
Presently the car started. It Al
most reached Orme's corner when he
signaled 1t and. hurrying into the
street. swung on to the back platform.
There had been barely time for the
car to slow down a little. Maku could
not well have seen him without turn
ing his head. and Orme had watched
the little japanese closely enough to
know that he had continued to stare
straight before him.
Safe on the black platform. q desire
to smoke came to Orme. He found a
cigar in his case and lighted It. While
he was shielding the match, he looked
over his followed hand and saw Maku
produce a cigarette and light 1t. The
Japanese had apparently wished the
consolation of tobacco Just as Orme
had.

Orme. Il hope it wasn't mind-read-

left. The car was getting well down
into the city. Suddenly Maku worked
along to the end of his seat and got
down on the running-bOard. The con-
ductor pulled the bell. The car stopped
and the Oriental jumped of.
The action had been SO quick that
Orme, taken of his guard, had not
had time to get OF first. He. there
fore, remained on the car, which be-
gan to move forward again. Looking
after Maku. he saw that the japanese.

beyond the corner. He hurried quick

half q block ahead. walking with
short. rapid steps. How had Maku
got so far? He must have run while
Orme was retracing the way to the
corner. And yet Maku seemed to
have no suspicion that he was being
followed.
The chase led quickly to a district
Of poor houses and shops-an illlook-
ing. il!-smelling district. where every
shadow seemed ominous. Whenever
they approached a corner. Orme hur-
ried forward, running on his toes. to
shorten the distance in the event that
Maku turned. but the course contin-
ued straight until Orme began to won
der whether they were not getting
near to the river, one branch of which
he knew ran north through the city.
At last Maku turned into an alley
which cut through the middle Of q
block. This was something which
Orme had not expected. He ran for
ward and peered down the dark, un-
pleasant passage. There was his man.

through the ash heaps and avoiding

\ VOICE FROM AFFAIR,

The letter from John E. Lathrop,
published on the front page today,
shows that the fight to oust the over
head. wires and poles is attracting
attention from former residents of
this city. Though in far away Wash
ington Mr.. Lathrop is interested in
the subject and he writes to say that
it will add vastly to the appearance
of the city to get the wires under
ground. He wants the improvement
made and so do other loyal former
residents Of this city.
1t is no doubt true, as Mr.. Lathrop
says. that with the improvement once
provided the electric company men
themselves would not wish to return
to the old order of things. At first
the railroads would not use the auto
matte couplings. They considered it
cheaper 10 us the hand couplings even
if it did cost an occasional brakeman
few fingers or an arm. But the
railroads don't want to go back to
the hand coupling now.
1t is this way with nearly all i'm
provements.

FKIGHTENING CNPITAL.

some limid people think the East
oregonion is attacking capitar be-
cause it wants the electric trust ana
the telephone trust To do their plain
duty by the people Of Pendleton.
What capital?
Is the electric trust the only con-
Germ that has an investment here?
What about the home owners of
the city? What about the merch-
ants? What about the men who have
money invested in business blocks?
Are not these people capitalists al
SC? Is not their capital entitled to
protection too? Why should there
be protection for the big fellow and
none for the small man?
Besides the electric trust has no
investment to speak of in Pendleton.
The chief thing of. value about the
company's local business is its fran
chise and it gets that for nothing.
The talk about frightening capital
is rot. The electric company is the
one that frightens capital away. The
trust takes away thousands of dol
lars it does not earn 1t charges ex-
orbitant prices and make the cost of
living higher in Pendleton than else
where. It drives people away from
the city. 1t refuses to make i'm
provemeHts and keeps the Pendle-
ton streets looking like a jungle. It
tries to control the city government,
to keep out competitive companies
and to prevent the establishment OF
a municipal power and light plant
Frightening capital! Bosh!

RAISING OSTRICHES.

The Hagenbeck ostrich farm at
Stellingen, near Hamburg, was found
ed three years ago, and is growing
rapidly in importance as we'll as size.
1t was Mr.. Hagenbecks theory that
the ostrich. although a native of
tropical or hot countries, would
thrive in colder localities, and as a
result be stronger in health and grow
a heavier coat of feathers. During
the three years that the Stellingen
farm has been in existence this theory
has been proved to be correct, al
Though for reasons to be explained
the enterprise has not been CONNER
cially successful, aside from its value
as the adjunct of an important am
usement enterprise
In South Africa and in other warm
countries ostrich feathers are plucked
regularly at the end of every nine
months, ihis being the usual time re-
quired for the bird to grow a new
coat but in Hamburg, owing to the
cold weathers, the feathers can be
plucked only in the spring of the
year, the birds being housed in the
winter months except on days of sun
shine and always at night. During
these housing periods the feathers be-
come broken. and while they are still
of value, they are less so than feath-
ers Tucked in good condition at the
right season.
Apart from this, the general health
of the birds is all that could be de-
sired, the rate of mortality being ex-
tremely lew. Occasionally during the
housing months a bird suffers a
broken leg and must be killed, but
this does not occur frequently. No
diseases nave made an appearance.
and there is one healthy bird in the
collection with a broken neck, frac-
tured by being caught in the door of
the housing barn.

WORSE AND WORSE.

Mr. Storekeeper, listen to this from
the Walla yVana Bulletin:
Following a conference yesterday
with the street lighting committee of
the city council, as well as with
delegation of Alder street business
men. the local management of the
Pacific Power & Light company, af-
ter getting in communication with
the head office at Portland, has
promised to put in without addition
Al cost the iron poles necessary on
Alder street for the cluster lights
which they are willing to install at
the same rate to be charged for the
lights on Main street. namely. s2.33
i-3 per month.
although not decided definitely, it
IS thought that about 80 of these
lights will be needed between Fourth
and Spokane. which is the district the
Alder street merchants want lighted"
So the Walla Walla management
sf the company, after getting in COM
munication with Portland, promises
10 furnish the light poles free in
wana wana That is something like
il
Now tell US what is the matter
with the Pendleton manager of the
Pacific Power & Light company? No
cluster light poles are furnished free
in this city. Our merchants and
property owners pay out hard coin
for them. They cost from $50 to s65
each. It costs $27O per month to
run an ordinary light in Pendleton
and it does not burn very long each
evening either. Some Of our cluster
lights are turned off almost before
they are turned on.
Neither did the Pendleton man
sgement Of the company have gas
piped into houses without cost to pat
rons as was done in Walla Walla this
spring. Here the patrons pay for
laying the pipes and they also pay an
outrageous price for gas
Nor does Pendleton get any fran
chise charges from the Pacific Power
& Light company Walla Walla gets
the sum Of $4,000. and by rights
that city should get ten times that
sum. The franchise is worth it. II
s said by some that the Pacific Power
& Light company would not sell its
Pendleton franchise for s25O,OOO. Yet
the company gets that franchise with
put paying the city one cent for it.
In Walla Walla there are no poles
and overhead wires on the principal
streets The cluster lights will be
effective Yet the company offers to
install those lights free of cost to the
people. In Pendleton the company
charges big prices for the light poles
and whines and kicks when asked
- remove It's unsightly wooden poles
so as TO give the cluster lights a
chance 10 do some good.
The situation is so rank that Z
smells to heaven. Pendleton and
Pendleton people have been jobbed to
finish by the Pacific Power q
Light company a--d its local manage

But there they wore the sun,

But there God gave each one.
