But it should be possible to avoid blunders on the more essen tial features. The great reason why commission government is popular is the well giounded and growing belief that such government will by the nature of things be more efficient than the old style plan. Whether this belief is right or not will be chief point to be passed u; on by the people. Other questions f FROM THE PEOPLE 1 Till! CATTLE SHORTAGE. Stanfiold Man RevalN Cumpnign Pre diction.

It is a claim that may be pressed hard on the straight merits of the case and without any resort to the pork barrel appeal. By the government's own statement of the case the sum of money now available for the local building. is an adequate. According to the last in formation upon the subject there is merely money enough to erect a one story structure that would suffice for postoffice purposes only. It would be absurd to erect such a building here. The building should provide quarters for the federal court, for the commissioner and other fed eral people requiring office room in Pendleton. To erect a one story ai-( fair suitable only for the postoffice would be to do the Job by half. The building would no sooner be completed than the need of more room would be apparent and there would be demand for an addition of some sort. All this can be avoided by the simple process of erecting a suitable building at rirst. There is a genuine need for an ade quate federal building here. It is not a fictitious need. The federal court has eastern Oregon headquarters in Fendleton and always wll have. This is the logical point for the court to meet. The United States commission er has offices here and in .time a clerk and deputy marshall will be sta tioned In the city. The Indian service and the bureau of animal industry may also wish to make use of the building. For six or eight years the bureau of animal industry rented offices because of the fact we had no federal build ing. Since the money now available Is not sufficient to erect a building suit able even for present needs, not con sidering future growth, Pendleton is Justified in asking for additional mon ey. The Oregon senators and Con gressman Sinnott should see that such an appropriation is forthcoming. The claim is Justified and should be includ ed in the first building bill passed. Since the question of commission government for Pendleton was brought to the front by "Work That Should thfs paper some lie lunia Well. time ago there has been contin uous interest in the subject and ample evidence that the people wish to vote upon the subject again. Accordingly a meeting of friends of commission government is called for Thursday evening and at that time plans for drafting a charter and get ting .it before the people will be taken up. their national charters It the proposed currency law should be adopted. The 2 per cent United States bonds held by the national banks in the am ount of JTflO.000,000 to secure circu lation and deposits of public money have lately fallen from above par to 99 bid. It is the professed theory of Wall street that this decline is due to the pending currency bill, which would gradually refund the 2"s into 3's witn out the circulation privilege, and to the possibility that those 3's would no held at par or better. We see no reason for taking this explanation seriously. There should be nc mystery about the weakness of the 2"s. Are not the National City Bank of New York and the First. National of Chicago to secede from the nation al system and take out state charters i' congress dares to reform the cur rency in its own way? Are not all the other national banks to follow that great leadership? Have we not heard their shouts of triumph as they thus s. em to themselves to be outwitting the government? And then we do not see that as they secede they must take ; those $700,000,000 of bonds with them anA witVinnt th. r irr ii In t inn nrivHpcre. which would reduce the value by at least 20 per cent., or $140,000,000? Now, alas! they are evidently be ginning to see this for themselves, and the shouts of triumph are turning in to something closely resembling a whine. A congress which they were to undo if they could not coerce should now refund the 2's into a higher rate than 3 per cent., that they may be se cured against all possibility of loss! Why is it that the domineering moneyed mind must ever on occasion show a spirit which would disgrace a patriot or shame a beggar, and a stu pidity which is suicidal? sold and they might have had more money if they had held on a while longer. The expected drop In prices failed to materialize. Now, we have the report from a reliable source that the ranges are depleted of cattle to ar. alarming degree, and why not, when it has become the practice to despise the calf and treat it as something to begotten rid of as soon as possible? We know of a party that purchased a lot of cows last fall for feeding pur poses, the most of these cows have since raised calves. Instead of keep ing these calves for mature beef, say in eighteen months, they were sold as veal about one-sixth of the val ue they wild have attained. It is an apparent fact to me that there i should be so.-"- concerted action ta-1 ken to protect the calf, or in other i words the 'baby meat" of the coun try. I believe the situation is grave i enough to justify the governors of the northwestern states to call the ( various legislators together to enact j a protective law for the conservation I of one of our greatest i v'ustrles, by I passing a law preventing the slaugh- ter of immatured animals and pre- i venting the slaughter of fem: 's un-, der certain attained ages would rem-j edy the existing danger of a meat famine to a large degree That the haymen and cattle feeders around Stanfield are up against a proposition for cattle to eat their hay next win ter Is the prophecv of yours truly.

It was on a surburban train. The young man in the rear car was sud denly addressed by the woman in the seat behind him. "Pardon me, sir," she said, "but would you mind assisting me off at the next station? You see, I am very large and when I get off I have to go backward so the conductor thinks I am trying to get aboard and helps me on again He has done this at three stations." SAFE! The McTavlsh family was dining and each member eagerly watched Mr. McTavlsh carving the fowl, none so eagerly, however, as the dog, for that intelligent animal never took his eyes off the luscious bird. Suddenly the knife slipped and sent a fragment of poultry rolling on the floor. "Michty me." cried McTavlsh, "the leg, me own favorite bit. The dog'll get it." "No, It won't, father,' said the youngest McTavlsh. "He'll not get it. I've got my foot on it." Prithee! This is some game; it smacks of class, And played full-square upon the swarded grass; Nine on a side 'tis sure an even match No handicaps, all starting at tht scratch. A stage rich set, a diamond four-side square Bedecked the scene; an audience I swear Of many thousands strong, waits to; applaud The play of some high-salaried base ball god. The curtain's up the umpire starts the play Dull care has flown and fandom rules full sway. With "batter up" the players get their cue. Each his part to lend his talent to. "One strike" "One ball," a "strike" perhaps again, And silence throttles forthy thousand men; The hero stands, his willow poised to clout; He swings and forty thousand groan, "He's out." Thus through the game each player tries his skill, Some take the "count" while others "soak the pill." The fleetness of the legs of some but show The paths which others wish in vain to go. 'Tis cruel fate that cuts the batter off Ere he from first his flannel lid can doff; Yet, lighter still, fate draws Its iron bands, If when a guy a "Texas leaguer" lands, A'nd on through space doth canter like a steed And safely climbs the "cushion" in his speed When with' ambition tugging at his heart Doth for the second "cushion" soon depart But to be tagged; 'twas ever thus! 'Tis sad And forty thousand "roast" the err ing lad; "He lost his bean," "the dough-head" "lumn of cheese" The late William T.
