near right as you can get at it.
"They are going to have their Congress
to pass laws, and their President to sign
them, to take all manner of paper money
from the people except National Bank
notes of denomination not less than ten
dollars, all the greenbacks, silver GER

are declared not to be money at all but
a debt. And the owners of the gold are
to furnish the gold to pay the debt, and

this difference, that whereas before it bore
no interest, it will thereafter bear interest

instead of being supplied with currency

THE EXPOSITION
Portland's Fair Will Be the
Best to Date.
WILL ECLIPSE FORMER FAIRS
Begins September IS and Closes octo-
Der rs, and will BE Open Day
and Evening.

A very excellent feature of the Ore
gon Industrial Exposition. which is
held at Portland, is that it represents
the entire Pacific Northwest, and the
products of this whole region are freely
given space there and attractlvely ex-
hbited.
1t is truly great fair, and it is
made interesting to all Everything
connected with it is on properly large
scale such as BELTS the great region
represented.
Portland has the capital necessary to
carry on such a great fair, and her ell
terprising business men freely furnish
the money to pay the heavy expenses
incurred. They know that in dong
go they are aiding in the general devel-
opment of the entire Northwest.
People VINO visit the exposition at
Portland this autumn will make no
mistake, for they will find there many
splendid attractions to interest them.
A full military band. one of the best
in America. will give concerts every
afternoon and evening, and there will
be Amusement features such as will
please all. and such as can only be
found in the very best theaters. The
great exposition building will be a
blaze of glory and bower of beauty,
and it will be we'll worth going many
miles to see the splendid exhibit OF
the products of field farm. orchard.

Franklin's axiom. Thine is money"
Is one of the fallacies that have reduc-
I'd all things to a money standard. Time
ls not money, never can become money.
Time is life, the space allotted to each
individual to pass through his earthly
cycle and to use according to his light,
disposition and environment, to the
advantage of himself and those about
him. This is bit of good, sound truth,
ed in it. 1t will be well for all when we
think less of changing time into money
and more of changing money into time.

CareIul observation Will convince
any intelligent traveller In America that
there Is beginning all over the most
thickly populated parts of the country
an exchange Of population between
the rural districts and the towns and
cities. The movement Is not as yet
great, but 1t Is definite and unmistak-
ably growing. Heretofore almost the
entire tide of population moving be-
tween country and city was from the
former to the latter, and in many Of the
older States farm life seemed on the
point Of being permanently abandoned.
There was no appreciable drift of the
best class OF city people toward the
country, save for month or two in
the summer. Recently the purchase
of rural estates by people from the
cities has taken different form-the
mere summer cottage no longer salts
fies. Large farms are bought upon
which extensive improvements are
made with view to agriculture.
Homes are built, not for hot-weathcr
playthings, but for permanent occupa-
ton. Country seats thus established
are beginning to attract attention ms
new feature in the vicinity of our
cities and larger country towns. They
are beautiful they have an air of am
plitude, freedom and comfort not to he
had in densely built urban streets. In
fact. they do afford to life multitude
of simple and wholesome charms, to.

ROOM" The extension of suburban rail.
way systems, the building of good
country roads and the rapid increase of
rural mail facilities are greatly aiding
this movement toward the rustic dis.
tricts, but a certain dissa tsfactlon
with country life on the part of the
young men and women born and rear
ed on the farms IS, perhaps, the largest
factor At the death of sturdy and
wealthy farmer his broad estate is sold
and the money proceeds are divided
among his children, who forthwith HE
them to town for n fascinating change
of life. When the farm Is set up nj
vendue none Of the heirs Is able to buy
1t all, even If the purchase seems de.
sirable; so out from the city comes n
banker, a retiring lawyer or stock
broker or some other capitalist tired
of the urban worry, and bids the whole
thing In ut very reasonable price. He
rolls the old farmhouse aside, remod.
els 1t for a barn and builds himself a
stately home overlooking his wide and
attractive estate. OF course, 1t is pos
sible to foresee or foresay what may
be the outcome Of this movement
Doubtless America must to some de-
| gree follow the old world In her de
velopment, but the absence Of Legal
provisions for the permanency of fam

ton will materially check the tendency
toward unduly large land holdings and
