IHE GIFTED MAN.

A nC.I-committal man was Jim,
Of grave. judicial mind;
In everything referred to him
Some cause for doubt he'd find.
He viewed each matter pro and con
When asked. rs it not so?"
His questioner he'd turn upon
And answer, "Yes-and mol"
To err in judgment was his dread;
Each point he'd argue out;
The life he consequently led
Was one long, lingering doubt
If you implied that black was white
Or that ice cream was hot,
He'd hint that maybe you were right
"They are-and yet they're not!"
Perplexed by all the facts of life
Yet dreading to confess,
He took unto himself a wife
(Or she took him I guess).
She now makes up his mind for him
And saves him from derision,
For all the people say Of Jim:
"a man Of great decision.

wooden sidewalks in the city of Win

therefore the news
that the o.-W. r. & n. has ordered a
survey made of the proposed extern
sion is decidedly encouraging. 1t in
dicates the prospects are bright for
If indeed the survey does not assure
that the line will be built.
Logic calls for the extension of the
branch line. Beyond the present ter
minus at Pilot Rock there is great
region that is standing still and has
stood still for 80 years because of the
lack of transportation. Timber is 60
ing to waste, agricultural resources
are undeveloped and industry lam
guishes because the magic touch Of
the railroad is lacking. The situation
is bad for that section, it is bad for
the whole of Umatilla county and it
is a bad situation for the railroad
company.
Extend the Pilot Rock branch and
a great transformation will take place
The southern part of the county will
become peopled for there are induce
ments there for new settlers. Dairy
ing and other lines of diversified
farming will be taken Up extensively
and the timber will be made available
for use.
From a Pendleton standpoint the
benefits from the extension Of the Pi-
lot Rock branch will be two fold.
There will be much benefit derived
from the deveopment Of the country
and much benefit will follow the open
ing up Of the timber provided a mill
is established here as should be done.
