He Wanted to Live.

When the ship Poisat went down
off .Malabon, Philippine Islands, re
Gently, Alexandra Lorenzo jumped
clear of the wreck. After an hours
swimming he found a hatch cover
on which he rested Then he start
ed toward San Nicholas, pushing
the hatch cover ahead of him. He
was nearly successful and was just
reaching shallow water when the
tide carried him out to sea again.
As night came the wind increased
and the waves tossed him and his
hatch cover back and forth until he
thought it would be impossible for
him to hold his support, but toward
midnight he found that he was be
ing washed toward the gavite shore.
Just as his hope was strong the tide
and the wind carried him to sea
again. He struggled against them,
but was swept out. Something
brushed against his leg. He thought
it a shark and screamed in fear.
It did not touch me again er
should have gone mad. The water
was cold, the night dark and the
rain beat down on him He heard a
cry in the darkness and pushed his
hatch cover in the direction from
which it sounded. Toward morning
he found a Filipino boy, another sur
vivor of the wreck, clinging to an
oil box They drifted together.
When daylight came, they could see
boats and they shouted until they
themselves heard or seen. They
were tortured by thirst. Salt water
got into their mouths. They drifted
all day. Night came again and
shortly after dark they saw the
lights of breakWater and with new
hope noted that they grew larger
and more distinct They were being
washed in again. The boy was taken
with cramps, lost his hold on the
oil box and went down. The man
was washed toward the middle OF /
the bay and drifted during the
night. At dawn he was almost ready
to give up, but the wind and waves
headed him for the east shore and
he took heart. Then he saw boats
and used his last strength in try-f
ing to reach them. The boatmen
saw him, were able to get to him
in time, and picked him out of the |
water. There was not much of the
man left and hi was shrieking for
water as he collapsed in the boat, /
He had been forty-eight hours on a
rough sea In a bad storm with a
hatch cover for support. He had
been maddened by fear of sharks
and by the lost chances of rescue.
As he lay on a pallet, after he found |
himself able to talk again, his res
euers spoke of his wonderful endur-
ance. He said of course he had done
the best. he could He wanted to |

Live Wires.

Norway and spitzbergen are now
connected by wireless.
Tungsten, used in making metal
filamen lamps, is being mined ex-
tensively in Nova Scotia.
The electric fireless cooker is here.
Electricity supplies the required
amount of heat and the fire1ess
cooker stores it away until the cook
ing is done.
Birds, it seems, rarely If ever get
accustomed to the sound of electric
bells SO as not to be startled at the
ringing of one. Knowing this, the
head master of an Austrian school
has patented an electric scarecroW,
in which a clock makes the connec-
ton at irregular intervals to electric
bells scattered over his orchard.

his wife, Mary, were week before
last crowned king and queen of Eng
land, Scotland. ireland and Wales,
emperor and empress of India, etc,
etc. The gorgeous spectacles and
brilliant functions attending the aus
picious event attracted vast throngs
OF spectators and host of dis
sfIng1Iished visitors from all parts Of
the world, and it is to the infinite
credit OF the British people that the
entire affair passed off with the
same degree of good order and gem
eraI good humor that characterizes
the Mardi Gras festivities FL New
Orleans The naval display at Ports
mouth which followed the coronation
brought together the most fornid-
able array of armed vessels ever as
sembled in the worlds history The
british fleet alone numbered over
lao, and there were many from other
nations. The largest and most pow-
serful vessel in the great aggrega-
ton was the United States battleship

DEMONSTRATION
farm PLAN FAILS

Minot, N. D., Feb 25.-The propo
sition of the 500 railroad and H. w
Campbell, dry farming expert. 70,
demonstration farm to be started
near Minot has apparently fallen
through.
The terms stated by Mr.. Campbell
while he was in Minot were practical.
ly prohibitive. He said that he and
the 500 would require a deed to a
section of land gratis, and they would
agree to run a demonstration farm for
five years.
Under this arrangement, the people
who would run the demonstration
farm would get the land for nothing,
also the income from the land during
the five years and the tree use and
disposition of the land after the five
year period.
1--WE could not recommend this pro-
position" said an official of the Com
mercial club today, land l do not be-
lieve that the 500 railroad you'd be
a party to asking any such deal from
the citizens of Minot."

The man who insures his life is not

who is guilty of gambling. He places
the material welfare of his dependents

IT ALL DEPENDS.

Some of those who oppose the COM
mission form of government want to
side-track the matter now. They
show fear OF the common voter and
90 not want TO give him a chance at
it. They intimate his judgment is not
as reliable as is the judgment of the
property owner
But that all depends upon the prop
erty owner. There are some local
property owners who have never
shown much zeal as town builders
They are so narrow and so selfish
they would stifle the town and con-
vert the whole city into a deserted
cemetery. 1t is a notorious fact that
many of those who own good business
property in Pendleton fail miserably
in their civic duties. The merchants
and those who may be termed the
common people of Pendleton do more
for the city than do the landlords.
Do not sneer at the common voter.
He is usually patriotic and his judg-
ment is generally sound.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-09-20
IT Is VERY SIMPLE.

At a meeting in the Commercial
club rooms last evening some of those
present asked for more information
regarding the commission form of
government They profess to be un-
Informed as to what the commission
form Of government is and desire fur
ther time in which to investigate.
1t is a very simple proposition and
DO one should have difficulty under
standing the general nature of the
plan. To be brief the commission
plan calls for doing away with the
present set of elective officials en-
tirely and for creating a commission
composed OF a mayor and two COM
missioners to do the work now per-
formed by the mayor and eight coun-
ciimen
Under the commission plan the
mayor and commissioners are given
salaries. 1t is argued by those favor
ing the commission plan that the city
should pay its servants. 1t cannot ex-
pect good and faithful service from
them for nothing. In town such as
Pendleton the salaries would neces-
serily be small for no official would
have to devote all his attention to his
public duties. He could manage his
private affairs or business at the
commissioners should devote mors
time to their work than is given by
unpaid officials.
The three commission officials
would have the same powers with
reference to making ordinances, en-
forcing them and with reference to
the administrative work of the city
government as the present mayor ami
eight councilmen. There would mere
ly be three men to do the work in
stead OF nine. The people would
have the right TO initiate ordinances
just as they have now and they could
referendum any ordinance passed by
the commissioners. They could recall
any or all Of the officials any time
they chose to do so just az at pres
ent.
There is nothing intricate or hard
to understand about the commission
plan 1t ls much more simple than
our present form Of government. Its
simplicity has always been one Of tht
strong points in its favor and ther'
Is no necessity for anyone to be II
doubt as 70 what the commission
fern of government means.
