forgotten that he had a sister. and
that there were a lot of little hope
full Bumps. An old trouble had
made him bitter and forgetful, and he
had felt more alone in the world than
he really was. AS he sat again by
the freight, but on a clear and moon
lit night, he unused on things past with
new tenderness in his heart and well
coined a new thought that came warm
ly to him and brought a lovely pur-
pose with it. He would play Santa
Claus, and give himself the surprise
Of making others happy!
So, the day before Christmas things
happened at the Bump house. As Mr.
Bump went to the wayside post box
he found two letters. One of them made
him sad for 1t was from the man who
held the mortgage, and it said that the
time for payment had come 1t meant
to Mr.. Bump, your money, or your
cows" But the other letter was from
Mr. Gimlet, and it made Mr.. Bump
laugh until he cried for it was a check
for $500, with some kindly, friendly
words and good wishes, enough to cure
the cows and all the family troubles.
The next day the carrier brought
a most promising looking big box
from Uncle Gimlet, so that the Christ
mas tree was full of happy surprises
for the little folks and a gift or two
FOR the big ones. Mother made big
pie in the dishpan and the children
found out what was in it. Dorothy
poked a hole through the pasteboard
crust and pulled out maple sugar
heart. Donald got a red sugar heart.
Kenneth got a white sugar heart.
Edith got a yellow sugar heart. Moth
er said it was Uncle Gimlet's kind
heart that had made them all 80
happy.
Then Mr.. GiInlet got another letter.
1t was a round robin from all the
Bumps, with the little Bump names and
marks upon it, too. 1t made the old
man very happy. He was sitting
among lot of pleasant things that
had been sent in for his Christmas
tree, but he was not thinking very
much of them. He sat with the let
ter in his hand and a far-off look in
his eyes as he thought of the sweet
ness of love. and felt that the best
gift that he had received was the
happy surprise that he had given to
the people on the prairie farm.

and some of the frost into his heart,
for he looked old, and cold, and grim.
The freight shadows that played on
the wall were like the thoughts that
went to and fro in his mind in the
light of the memories of the brighter
days of the past. The empty chairs
reminded him of his friendlessness, the
slow ticking of the old clock, as 1t
tried to be a companion, only made
him feel how lonely he was. He felt
as much out of the world, as far away
from its gladness as the picture of his
grandfather that hung over the shelf
Mr.. Gimlet was wondering what he
would get for Christmas. He had
spent many years in wondering what
he would get, and had gotten a good
many things. No one had q better
house than he, few had as much money
as he had. There was park there
was Il garden within and without and
all about him were the things that
money can buy. Yes, Mr.. Glmlet was as
rich as money and things can make a
man. And yet, although all these
things had not made him happy, he
was wishing for more He did not
know any better than to wish for more,
and, though, he could not think of any
thing that he needed, he hoped that
someone would think of something or
other that he might want and that
might give him a CLEAN of real Christ
mas joy.
Away out on a prairie the Bump
family were holding a consultation,
after the children had gone to bed.
AT that moment the father and mother
of the family were perplexed and
even good deal worried. The Bumps
had been practicing farming for some
time. but without anticipated results.
The children. didn't see anything the
matter with farming. The move out
of the smoky city had been an en-
trance into paradise for them. Don
aid had ten hens and a rooster Doro-
thy owned two Muscovy ducks, with
green feathers. Kenneth had a little
pony that they called Bigger" be-
cause they thought he would grow.
Small Edith kept a flower bed that
she called her "gardy." There was a
pony cart. They had raised 43-pound
watermelon. Father had said that
the rest of the garden wouldn't
amount to hill of beans, out 1t had.
There was apt to be enough for yum
yum cake, with raisins in it, to go
around Why it was like a perpetual
picnic! And even now, with all
things under the snow blanket, and the
pony and the two COWS safe in the

barn, farmer Bump had laughed with
the happy, rosy children, as the dog
Jake toiled up the hill with the sled,
50 that they all might go shouting
down again. They're a jolly bunch ;"
said farmer Bump But that night
the Bumps were holding a consulta-
ton. Although the two cows in the
barn were bare, yet thera was a
blanket on them. The consultation
was about that blanket. Farmer
Bump called ii mortgage and didn't
know how he was going to pay 1t.
No wonder 1t was an anxious consulta-
ton. Short crops and mortgage !
Enough 10 1atten out even the Bumps /!
But while the Bumps were talking
things over, the cildren were having
dreams. They had laid awake for
while, talking about the best place

warm, but makes them cold, and won
dering what mortgage could be, and
why no one could take 1t Off without
money. In his dream Donald heard
boy singing this song:
Sing, little Jesus, sing for me.
There's nothing on my Christmas tree"
You see, this little boy had a tree,
but there wasn't thing ON 1t, not even
leaf. So he planned how to get some
thing to grow upon it. Finally, he sang
the song that Donald heard in his
dream, and the next time he looked
out there was his tree, full of red and
gold apples with leaves on all the
twigs and many pretty things among
them, and Donald saw 1t all In his
dream. SO, when he awoke, Donald
thought he would sing the song too,
and see II Jesus couldn't take the
shadow of that awful mortgage away,
and he sang:
Sing, little Jesus. sing for mel
There's mortgage on our Christmas
tree.
When Dorothy awoke she remem-
bered that she had dreamed about
writing letter to Santa Claus, and
so she went and wrote it. This was
the letter:
Dear Santa Claus:
There's something the matter with
our cows. They've got a mortgage on
EN-. Only money can cure 'em. Please
come and cure EN-, SOS we can have a
Christmas tree. / will be good.
Your hopeful
DOROTHY.
Then, when father went to town,
with the little pony, Bigger, he put
the letter into the post office, only he
directed it to Mrs. Bumps brother, Mr..
Ephraim Gimlet
Mr.. Gimlet was very much surprised
TO hear from the Bumps. He had

they fall into the ira. that has been laid for them at Salem.
There is a strong and growing impression throughout the state
that Portland is becoming too brisk in the way of selfish domina-
ton OF the affairs of this commonwealth. The record is clear
and there is no installing the facts. In the railroad rate case
Portland is giving every possible aid and comfort to a move that
if successful will iniure practically every town in Oregon out
side of the metropolis. Eastern Oregon is in revolt against that
move and the people of western Oregon have the same interest
that we have if they but awaken to the facts. In highway mat
ters the Portland chamber of commerce has inSOlenttly suggest
ed a cource Of action that if carried out would betray the best
interests of the state and the facts can be proven any day and
any hour one wishes to listen to the evidence. On top of this
comes the request for the fair lax which in substance is that
every farmer and taxpayer in Oregon be heavily burdened in
order to serve a local purpose in one city of the state. That re-
quest is wrong in principle and it should be disregarded.
A great play is being made by P~Ortlanders that they do not
ask the leislaturge to levy the tax but merely to submit the
measure to the people, But the newspapers that talk so blithely
upon that point do not say that if the legislature refers the
measure to the people it will be a moral endorsement of the
measure and that every legislator voting to submit The measure
will be properly ciassed by his constituents as favoring the tax.
Portland papers like the Oregonian are thinking of Portland,
not of Oregon. They are not thinking of any upstate legisla-
tors political fortunes. They are perfectly willing that those
men commit political suicide if they will. Therefore advice
from that source is not to be trusted and the wise legislator at
the special session will keep before him a vision of his own home
folks. They are the people who must pay the bill if the fair tx
carries. They are the people who elected him and will repudi-
ate him If they believe he has been untrue to his trust.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1921-12-17

A r a time when taxation is proving a heavy burden upon
n the people and there is a general clamor for the saving of
u - every dollar possible the legislature Of Oregon has been
called into special session at an expense that will prob
ably reach $50, 900 for the purpose of putting upon the primary
election ballot a measure to tax the people of Oregon 100000
for the benefit of the city of Portland.
AS the legislators assemble for the special session they are
being commanded by influences in the metropolis to confine
their activities to the exposition measure and the subject Of
highway regulation. There is an attempt by certain of the
Portland press to heap ridicule upon any lawmaker who as
pires to promote legislation of interest to other sections of Ore
gon, no matter how pressing may be the need of legislation. In
other words it is proper and righteous for the state to spend
$50, 900 in behalf of Portland realty spectators but it would be
wrong for our chosen lawmakers to attempt anything for the
benefit of the state as a whole or its industries. 1t is asserted
that the Portland election was a mandate that the fair measure
be placed upon the ballot. Such a claim ignores the fact that
Portland is not the entire state, that a majority of the legislators
are not subject to mandates from that city and in a great many
cases have been given mandates of mother sort from their own
home folk. If sentiments plainly expressed in Umatilla county
and in most other counties outside of Mutnomah may be taken
as a guide it is not the will of the people Of Oregon that the So
600, 900 fair tax measure be put upon the ballot. The people
do not want to bear that tax, feeling it would be UNJUST. and
they do not want to face the expense and trouble necessary for
defeat of the measure if it is forced upon the ballot.
Upstate Legislators from Eastern Oregon and from Western
Oregon will be justified if they do some hard thinking before
