The old men Of Oregon are the pio-
neers in settling up the state, but the
younger generations must be the
pioneers In other lines. They must
Introduce new methods OF farming,
dairylng, stock raising and road build
ing. They must take hold aud become
the pioneers Of scientific farming. The
time when 1t was sufficient to "let
things grow" is past, and in the future
II is going TO take the closest applica-
tion of the most active, thinking, pro-
gressive farmers to make the great
agricultural and kindred interests a
success. Young man, aspire to be a
pioneer In the new school Of progress,
whether 1t be on the farm, or in
school house, at q trade, In business OF
the sacred place Of public trust !!
Don't expect forever To do things as
your fathers did them, They did
grand, good work and they did It well.
1t remains for the next generation to
do the new things. The world moves
aud unless we move with 1t the race is
lost.

doubtless appeal TO many girls who
claim that domestic laborp are never

The average foreigner seems better to
understand Poor Richards advice,
Plow deep while sluggards sleep,

MEXICO AS A COMPETITOR.
The San Francisco Call say that Mex
leo has entered into competition with |
California and Oregon In the flour
trade, and San Francisco will suffer in |
consequence. All Mexican ports from
Ensenada to Salinas Cruz will be sup |
piled from the Mexican mills. and as
soon as the trade warrants vessels will
DO put on between EnsenAdA and
South American ports, and as soon as
trade picks up between that point and
Yokohoma.
Mexico is In n first-elAss position to
snter into competition with United
States int this article OF commerce.
