merrily on, and out of 1001, SO
called bills, fathered by Tom. Dick
and Harry, there is not to exceed
go of any earthly utility, or any
interest to the masses. The
great majority of those bills are
of no more interest to the masses
than an act to determine which

But, with the great reform gov

great things but is simply an
agitation of the air.
How many men we daily pass
Who reason like a braying ass.
They grow to men from sassy

And think that they shall make
A noise,
And wise men whisper as they

Congress Now History.
By Edward Heating

10y EuWoIu hcdllIlS
Congressman from the Third
COLORADO District.
Washington, D. c.. The Sixty
third Congress has about passed
into history.
The men who write the story
Of the times will describe it as
a great Congress.
1t did more talking than any
other Congress in the history of
this nation, but it also did more
work.
Did you ever stop to think of
the number, the variety and i'm
portan:e of the subjects which
nave been acted upon by your
representatives in the national
legislature since that supremely
beautiful March day when Wood
row Wilson faced the silent null
titude massed on the east front
of the Capitol and took the oath
which made him Chief Executive
of the Republic?
We revised the tariff and
Judged by the Walls of Special
Privilege, VIC did a workmanlike
job.
We wrote a new banking cur
rency for the nation, and it has
worked SO satisfactorily that our
enc mics have ceased to criticise
it.
Trades Commission.
We recast the laws regulating
trusts and creating a Trades
Commission, which will bear the
same relation to big industrial
corporations that the Interstate
Commerce Commission now sus-
tains to the railroads.
We emancipated the parcel post
and permitted the government
to dominate the express business,
thus effecting saving every
year of many millions to the
people of the country.
We unsealed Alaska with her
natural resources should be de-
creed that those resources should
be developed in such a way as to
benefit all the people and not a
chosen few. To this end we ap-
pr opriated thirty million dollars
for the construction of a railroad
to be owned and operated by the
government.
We repealed the absurd law
which permitted the Shipping
Trust to use the peoples Panama
canal without the payment of
tolls and thus provide for the an
nual transfer of millions of dol
lars from the treasury OF the
trus to the treasury OF the ma
ton.

Plans for the second staging OF
Happy Canyon during the 1915
Roundup were started last evening
at the meeting Of the Commercial as.

OF which Roy Alexander is chairman,
was instructed to cooperate with the
Roundup directors in giving the pio-
neer town celebration due publicity
along with the Roundup.
The Commercial association com
mittee which had charge OF Happy
Canyon" last year. will be called to-
gether again soon to start active prep
arations toward putting on an even
ing show durinng Roundup week
along the same lines as last year. The
expense will not be as great this year
inasmuch as most Of the carpenter
work done last year was left standing.
This will enable the committee TO
spend more money in providing
Unique entertainment stunts.

Main to a point beyond Grant street
and north of Jackson street there will
be distributing cables on Main, Mad.
ison, Bush, Garfield and Matlock
(Blaine) streets and south of Jack.
son there will be a distributing cable
on Perkins avenue. An additional
1OO-pair cable will be strung on Main
street from Court to Jackson.
The entire lead Of poles on Jackson
street from Main TO Arc will be re.
placed with new poles and several OF
the side streets will be similarly i'm
proved The strlnging of the cable
will eliminate the unslghtly maze OF
wires overhead. At present there are
four and five crossarms on nearly ev-
cry pole and 100 or more wires run
ming over them Because Of the great
number of trees on the north side, the
company Is caused a great deal of
trouble by every wind storm. Sway
Ing branches either break the wires
or cause them to touch each other
and thus cut out a service. To avoid
this, Manager Mabie has within the
past year installed a great deal of rub
ber-covered wire on the north side. a
considerable item OF expense in itself.
The present north side system has
been overtaxed to take care of the
growing demands of that section and
the rebuilding will permit the com
pany to extend its lines. One extern
sion is planned so that the new Irv.
ington Heights addition will be pro.
vlded with service

Telephone System on. North
Side Will be Rebuilt Soon

The telephone system on the north
side of Pendleton will be entirely re-
build in the immediate future, ac-
cording to an announcement made to-
day by Manager Edmund Mabie, and
the rebuilding will not only result in
a big improvement in the service but
will also eliminate much of the un-
sightliness Of the present system
While no announcement has been
made of any further improvements
contemplated at this time, there Is a
general feeling that the rebuilding of
the north side lines is the beginning of
the fulfillment of the company's Oft
repeated promise to make the entire
Pendleton system modern and up-to-
date.
Manager Mabie has just received
notice from the headquarters Of the
Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co,
that the official approval on the es-
innate of $500 for rebuilding the
north side lines has been given. This
approval was made on June 1 and
called for the completion of the work
within sixty days.
All Of the old poles UP Jackson
street and upon several side streets
will be replaced with new poles set
against the curb line. Instead Of a
hundred or more wires on crossarms,
the poles will carry single cable in
which will be carried the wires Of the
distributing system.
This 15O-pair, diminishing cable
will be carried up Jackson street from
