PILOT ROCK CITIZENS READY TO FORM
A REAL LIVE COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION

A live, active commercial club is
to be born in Pilot Rock tomorrow
eening, if plans which have been in
cubating FOR some time past hatch
out as anticipated. A big, booster
meeting has been called, a program
prepared and at the auspicious mo-
ment action will be taken which will
place the little south end town along
side of the many other cities and
toWns who manifest their civic vigor
in the maintainance of an organiza-
tion, the fundamental purpose of
which is to assist in the upbuilding
and development of its home COM
munity and the exploitation of the
opportunities and advantages which
this community offers.
For the past few years Pilot Rock
has been forging ahead slowly and
without ostentation or noise as new
blood and the younger generation be-
gan to make its influence felt, and
the launching of commercial club
will be but another evidence of the
aroused town.
According to reports, the meeting
tomorrow night will be largely at
tended and in preparation for the oc-
casion a program of interest has been
prepared, the Commercial club quar-
tet of this city being one of the fea-
lures offered
Splendid New Hotel.
Yesterday a representative of the
East Oregonian spent the day in Pi-
lot Rock and was made acquainted
with the progress which the neigh
boring town is making. Probably the

This husky college yell may be heard
in Pendleron some time this after
noon or evening while the o. \. C.
glee club is here for its performance
at the Oregon theatre tonight,
Again it is possible the yell will not
be heard for the glee club is not out
to yell but to sing.
"Dignifying the Industries" is a fa-
vcrite phrase at Q. A. c. and the glee
club, under the direction of Profess
sor William Frederic Gaskins, is fol-
lowing it by dignifying the gle eclub
business of the state.
The program which the o. \. C.
men will give here this evening is a
meritorious one and has brought the
organization marked approval every
where it has been upon its tour. 1t
is an artistic program made up of
numbers that will please the music
lovers. There are also light and HUI
morous selections but there is no
vaudeville and there are no stunts"

thy modern Improvement is the new,
hotel which will be completed and
opened to the public by the latter
Part OF next week. 1t is being built
by j. M. Roger the pioneer hotel
man whose old house was DESTROYED
by fire not long since. His new
structure would do credit to a town
many times the size of Pilot Rock
and is destined to make visitors to
the south end burg leave with a good
opinion of the town for it is well
known fact that all towns and cities
are judged more or less by the char
acter of their hosteleries.
The new hotel contains &c rooms
and every one is an outside room
They are so arranged that they can
be thrown ensuite and are provided
with all OF the modern conveniences
All of the work about the new build
ing is being done by Pendleton con-
tractors, the well known firm of
Horn & Swanson having the general
contract while John Finnell is doing
the plastering.
Horn & Swanson have also taken
the contract to erect a handsome
modern dwelling on the Oliver Knots
ranch near Pilot Rock and will soon
commence work.
Besides the construction work
which is going on, there are many
other indications that Pilot Rock is
neither dead nor sleeping but is
alive, awake and is just starting up
on an era of growth and progress
that is bound to make her a factor

New York. Feb 22.-The New York
World and Times both score Colonel
Roosevelt's Columbus speech. The
World says:
1T is another way of saying that
the power of the majority ought al
ways to be absolute and that the mi
nority has no rights which it is bound
to respect. 1t is Roosevelts formal
invitation to revolutionary and an
archy."
The Times says:
'Roosevelt's address removes him
from the republican party and
makes it impossible to nominate him.
From beginning to end there is not
in it a single republican doctrine. but
there is bold, defiant remuneration
of party principles"

Does Pendleton want a municipal
lighting plant if one is to be had at
a reasonable expense? This question
was put squarely up to the council
last night when C. p. Strain, county
assessor and ex-city councilman, act
ing Tor himself and several associates,
offered to transfer to the city of
Pendleton for a reasonable sum one
of the best power sites in Umatilla
county and volunteered to give an
option on the site for a consideration
of one dollar in order that the coun-
Gil might make an investigation of the
proposition without any expense.
This latter offer was accepted by mo-.
ton and Mayor Matlock appointed
a special committee consisting of
Councilmen Dyer, Kirkpatrick, Brock,
Sharon and Cole to draw up the op-
ton and to investigate the power
site.
The power site in question Is on
the Walla Walla river the point of
intake being a short distance below
the junction of the north and south
forks ani the proposed site of the
plant being just up the river from
Milton, a distance of IL miles from
Walla Walla and of 80 miles from
Pendleton. According to estimates
made by City Engineer Kimbrell who
made the surveys of the site. the river
at this point has a flow of 100 sec
ond feet and is capable of develop
log 1000 horsepower or more. Be-
cause of the accessibility of the To-
cation, it is asserted that plant
could be installed at much lower
cost than that of the Pacific Power
& Light company. In fact. rough es-
Inmates made by Mr.. Kimbrell and
Engineer Coyle of Milton place the
cost of such a plant to the city at
S125,O00 and the net revenue from
such plant at $13,750.
Might Enter walIa Walla.
Moreover, it was pointed out,
there would in all probability be
demand for such plant to enter
Walla Walla because that city, like
Pendleton, is at the mercy of the Pa
clfic Light & Power company and
would welcome relief such as a mu-
nicipally operated plant would give.
Mr. Strain is presenting his prop
osition to the council and was most
enthusiastic and his statements that
the opportunity now facing Pendleton
Is such as confronts but few cities,
was endorsed by both the city engi-
neer of Pendleton and of Milton In
fact the latter, Mr.. Coyle declared
he has never known of a better prop

Assessor C. P. Strain Puts Matter Squarey Up to City

osition and In addressing the council
strongly urged immediate action. He
cited the cases of the cities of Mil
ton and McMinnville, both of which
own and operate their own electric
plants and pay big net revenues, and
declared the former city had refused
an offer of $4,000 for its $42 900
plant and would not sell at any price.
In support of his contention that
power from the proposed plant would
probably find a market in Walla Wal
la as well as in Pendleton, he declar-
ed that the city of Walla Walla is at
the present time paying to the Pa
cific Power & Light company for
street lights alone, SIG 500. He also
pointed out that the amount which
the city of Pendleton is now paying
annually to the same company for
lights and pumping power, more than
$4,000, would pay the interests on the
bonds for municipal plant and
leave a margin of a couple of thou
sand dollars.
Strain Public Spirited.
In answer to a question as to how
much the proposed power site would
cost the city, Mr. Strain read an of
fer from Howard Evans, in whose
name the filing was taken out, de-
claring that he and his associates
would give the city months option
at a nominal consideration, a nine
months option at the cost OF main
tanning the filing and would relin-
quish title for $4,000. However Mr.
Strain, who is interested in the site
declared the actuai cost would be
less for he stated that he would give
his own interest to the city at its own
price and take oath as to the extent
of his interest, his only object being
to promote an institution that would
be of immeasurable benefit to the
city.
Presents Many Arguments.
In the course of his argument in
favor of the proposed plant, Mr.
Strain brought out many strong
points and brief summary of them
is given below:
LOCATION-Advantageous by reason
of proximity to Walla Walla and
Pendleton.
Low COST OF INSTALLATION
Estimated to be only half as much
per horse power unit as Pacific Pow
er & Light Co. Low cost due to top
ography of site and presence of
transportation for delivering mate

Men and Women.

As times go on we have the two re.
suits to be anticipated. Men reach
the point-usually early in life-where
business or politics absorbs their
whole attention, and they have little
time, strength or interest left for the
broader culture and the amenities OF
life. while women are prone to be too
much preoccupied with these things,
to the injury Of the home-not, per.
haps. in its smooth running for in
the average American home the
wheels OF its machinery do usually
run smoothly, though at great expense
and to the injury of the home spirit.
IL the two could be averaged we
should more nearly approach the ideal,
Men need more relaxation. more rest,
more variety, especially as they ad-
vance in life. Women need more con.
centratlon, more definiteness In their
work, and especially more interest and
a different kind Of ideal in their home

upon an understanding of both of
them.
For ordinary purposes the snatch
link or olevis should be fastened far
enough toward the blade end OF the
chain to follow the team at an angle
of 45 degrees. This will cause the
earth to move along the face of the
drag smoothly and will give compare.
lively light draft to the team, provided
the driver rides in the line of draft.
Sometimes, however, conditions are
met which require special treatment,
and In a rolling country such condi-
tions are not infrequent. Often a Hat
place several rods in length or a
seepy spot needs special attention.
The distance from the drag at which
the team is hitched affects the depth
Of the cutting. Shortening the chain
tends to lift the front slab from the
ground; longer hitch causes the
blade to cut more deeply. The length
of hitch may be regulated by length
ening and shortening the chain at the
end which runs through the hole in
the blade end OF the drag. II small
weeds are to be cut the doubletree
should be attached rather closer to the
ditch end of the drag. The drag will
now move nearly ditch end foremost,
and the driver should stand with one
foot on the extreme forward end OF
the front slab. This will swing the
drag back 10 the proper angle and
will cause the blade to plow.
The drag does the best work when
the soil is moist, but not sticky. The
earth then moves freely along the
faces of the slabs. If the roadway is
very badly rutted and full OF holes. II
may be well 10 use the drag once when
the ground is slushy. This treatment
is particularly applicable before a cold
spell in winter when 1t is possible to
have a roadway freeze smooth.

PURE FOOD LAW NOT MODERN
Centuries Ago Tradesmen Who Adul.
terated Goods Were Most Severe
ly Punished.

Pure food laws are not quite so
lieve. DR.. Reisner has made dIscov-
cries In Palestine that seem to in
dlcate some sort of supervision of the
food supplies delivered to the palace
nearly 5000 years ago. Labels have
been found that were once affixed to
"a Jar OF pure olive OIL" We may
wonder what tests were employed and
what would happen to the man whose
oil was found to be not pure. Prob.
ably something unpleasant. for there
was no Supreme court in those days.
We know what happened in the mid.
die ages TO the enterprislng tradesman
who adulterated his goods. In 1444
a Nuremberg merchant was burned
alive for mating foreign material with
his saffron and the saffron itself was
used for fuel. Probably that artistic
touch impressed the matter upon his
memory.
Some Augsburg bakers who used
false weights and bad -four were
ducked in a muddy pool, and through
a faulty knowledge of the human re.
spiratory system, or sheer careless.
ness, they came to the surface dead.
In 1882 a wine merchant was or.
dered TO drink six quarts of his own
adulterated wine, and as he died soon
after IL Is evident that the adultera.
tion must have been serious. II is
true that he had to finish the draft in
given number of minutes, and a
small number at that, but in those
days they had a pleasant way OF
weighing the scales and loading the
dice upon the side Of justice.
Civilization has changed all that.

sion lest. rogue shall be punished
