THE SWINEHERD.

This story is being told of a GER
tain bishop who had pleasant habit
of chatting with anybody he may
meet during his country walks.
The other day he came across a
lad who was looking after some pigs
by the roadside. and the bishop paus-
ed to ask him what he was doing,
that being his usual opening to con-
versation.
"Moindin' swine" the lad replied
stolidly.
The bishop nodded his head
thoughtfully. "Ah. is that so?" he
commented. And how much do you
earn a week."
Two shillin's." was the reply.
only two shillings," remarked the
bishop; then he continued pleasant
ly: II, too, am a shepherd, but I get
more than two shillings"
The lad looked at him seriously
for minute, then he slowly said:
"Mebbe you gets more swoine nor me
to moind"'-Pearson's Weekly.

would give Hermiston a better trans
portation connection than any other
place in Umatilla county except the
landings along the Columbia.
When such road is once com.
pleted Pendleton would be quick to
demand construction of road to con-
meet with it.
The hard surface roads and the
auto truck are going TO work revolu.
tions in short routes of transporta>
ton. Through such processes, Pen
dleton and many towns similarly sit
uated will have the benefits of water
competition.
The Columbia river with intersect-
ing hard surface roads and auto trucks
can be made one of the best railroad
commissions ever known. 1t can be
made TO do more to regulate freight
rates in its zone and make railroads
behave than the combined endeavors
OF all the railroad commissions ever
established"
AS the East Oregonian understands
the railroad company's intentions the
present roadway will still be main
tanned after the cutoff is finished so
Hermiston will not be left several
miles away" Nevertheless Hermis-
ton and the whole Umatilla project
will stand TO gain by a good perma-
nent highway to the river Likewise
the entire county. In the future the
Columbia river is to be a very import
ant factor in the commerce of the in
land empire.

purpose it is reasonable to suppose

able benefits from
| farming operations at the state hos
pital adjoining Pendleton. This will
be especially true with reference to
the dairy and hog business. In or
der to provide d food supply on the
most economical basis it is practical
thing for the hospital to maintain a
dairy herd and hogs. With the new
barns and the class of stock in use
it is evident the state will try to work
with an aim to the fullest efficiency
possible. The superintendent will do
this because the great goal kept al
ways in mind by the management of
such an institution is to maintain the
needed standard and yet keep the per
capita cost just as low as possible
Because he must work out his problem
on this basis Superintendent McNary
will have need not only Of the most
approved methods but also Of the
hard headed judgment of the practic-
al farmer. Therefore his farming op-
erations should be interesting and
profitable to watch.

A worker in one of the settlements
was speaking to some boys with ref
erence TO Roman history. He touched
upon the doings OF Nero, giving a vi
vid picture of the cruelty of the EN-.
peror. IT seemed to the speaker that
he had fixed the idea of injustice and
wickedness in the minds Of his hear
ers. Then he began to ask a few
questions

If the United States is to proceed on
