BETTERING BOYHOOD.

Pendleton is now entertaining
gathering that has for its prime OBJ
ject the advancement of boyhood and
young manhood in Umatilla county.
\ meeting held in such a cause will
assuredly be productive Of good. The
psychological effects of such gather
ings are always wholesome because
the purpose is to educate and elevate
and that thought is uppermost in the
minds of all.
By the nature of things boys of
tender years may be greatly benefit
ted by such conventions as the one
now on here. The character of a
man is largely shaped between the
ages of Is and 21. When there are
vicious or dissipated men it is large
y because of bad influences during
young manhood. Good men often
owe their fortune not only to person
al strength and inherent good char
acter but to the fact they were sur
rounded by proper influences during
their character forming periods.
There are some people who encour-
age boys to SOW wild oats" But
there is danger the yield will be heav-
ier than is wanted. There is much
danger in smoking, drinking and
other forms of dissipation. Those
things are vices, not virtues. They
lessen a persons mental moral and
physical efficiency and boys should
be instructed to that effect. They
are things to be kept under heel. A
boy who is led to smoke or dissipate
in any other manner should also be
taught how to quit. His will must be
developed so that he can keep himself
in hand. Otherwise he will become a
wreck on the social sea-an object of
pity and scorn.
But ambition is the great secret of
success. The boy who through her
edity or through invironment gets
that young lion into his soul will do
well, come what may. The boy who
follows star viii not be bothered II
at times his personal surroundings
may not be the best. If his pathway
be through the mire his eyes will be
up, not down and he will soon reach
safe ground; if the road for him is
rough and steep it will only develop
his strength and fit him for greater
duties later on.
So the best thing anyone can do
for a boy is to inspire him with a
personal desire to do right, to be
clean and honest and to succeed. II

SANITARY NEEDS.

Here is a timely extract from a
newspaper published in a wide awake
southern city where the authorities
are awake to sanitary requirements,
The sentiments expressed apply very
closely to the situation in Pendleton.
Listen!
The sanitary department, has chos-
en- the one effectual method of evict-
irg disease-breeding filth from O
before the advent of hot weather. Re-
gardless of rank or class, citizens are
to be given the alternative of clean
ing up their premises or facing the
recorder. stringent and unremitting
enforcement of that policy ought to
give the city the healthiest summer in
ita history.
Heartily endorsing the contention
that dirty back yards and streets
could not be expected to cope with
the onslaughts of disease and death,
the head of the sanitary department
declares he will devote the forthcom-
ing month to a scrupulous cleansing
program complete in every detail.
The garbage can ordinance will be
rigidly enforced. The ordinance which
requires that stable accumulations be
placed in air and water-tight recep-
tacles will be applied without regard
II place or person. The ordinance eX-
acting the same specifications as to
earth closets is also to be clapped on
with all vigor.
The chief declaration that these
ordinances have been operative a suf-
| ficient length of time to make ignor-
ance inexcusable is unanswerable. For
two successive seasons, now the resi-
dents of & have been given full
opportunity to familiarize themselves
with all three of these regulations,
and to comply with them. Indiffer-
ience or apathy should no longer be
permitted to menace the health and
lives of more law-abiding citizens.
The resident sufficiently contempt
iuous of the health of himself or his
family to violate primary hygienic,
preventive and sanitary laws, has no
right to visit the consequences of his
neglect upon the great mass of citi-
zens who religiously, and at some eX-
Ipense, observe these laws.
One uncovered garbage can, or ma
nure pile, or earth closet, jeopardizes
the health of every man, woman and
child within a radius of half mile
Notwithstanding that every other
householder in that territory may be

CASES POSTPONED

Quo Warranto Proceedings Against Power Company
 on February 9

Montgomery January 20.-tspeclal. )-Be- cause certain records were not produced in court, the quo warranto proceedings instituted by the state ex rel. Benjamin Russell vs the Birmingham Montgomery and Gulf Power company, and Thomas c. Russell on relation of the state against h. s. Pinkard, Henry Jones and Massey Wilson were continued until Friday and Saturday. February 3 and 10 by Judge W. W. Pearson in the Montgomery circuit court
 The relator in the case against the com pany is seeking to have charter granted about ten years ago cancelled on the ground that the corporation has not com piled with the law by beginning work on its plant in l2 months after the char ter was granted.
 In the second case attempt was made to show that the company has no charter, and that it, therefore. cannot perform the duties of corporation. He contends that Messrs. Pinckard. Jones and Wilson are a partnership The two eases go hand in hand so that if one is lost the relators will have chance to win the other. It is understood that an opposition company is backing the contestants, so as to pre- vent operation.
