LOYAL TO OREGON.

It has been said that miles of reading
matter concerning Oregoa, her people
and resources, would be the result of the
recent visit to this state by the National
Press Association, and the statement
was no exaggeration. The write-ups
give SO much detail that careful readers
will form an acquaintance with our peo-
pie and customs which can be improved
only by personal visit. The Trenton
(Mo.) Republican says this of Corvallis:
Fifty miles further on We came to Cor
wallis, the junction of the Southern Pa
ci6c and G. & E. railways the county seat
of Benton county. The state agriculture
al college is located here. This is the
home of W. Laferty and family who
are perfectly delighted with
their new heme Mr.. L. had many
glorious truths to tell us concerning the
state of Oregon that he could not tell
the average Misourian because he could
not show them, Mr.. Laferty is in busi-
ness here, running general store and
his many friends in old Grundy will be
glad to learn that he is doing we'll. The
family have all regained their health and
seem to think there is no place like Ore
gon. He is the most enthusiastic Orego-
nian we met. He likes the country and
the people. This town has a population
of $500, Its public buildings are indica-
tors of its worth: A new court house
at a cost of $4,000, city hall as $40, 900
and public school. at $4,000.

Linn county back to the foothills
is naturally tributary to Corvallis
and the farmers living north for
six miles are nearer to us than to
Albany. Our market for produce
is always better than Albany, and
our stocks of merchandise and
farming Implements are as large
and as cheap as in any town in the
state outside of Portland. It is
idle to say that the free ferry will
not make a difference. It will
make a difference, and VII quad
ruple the travel and the traffic
across the river. The expense will
not be great and it would be better
to provide for it by subscription
than not to provide for it at all.
By all means let us have the free
ferry, and do it at once for we
want it through this harvest.

ANENT THE WEATHER.


The rain of this season, disastrous in
its results and most unusual thing for
this country at such a season, will tend
in the end to serve as a benefit to the
farming class of the state. The Oregon
farmer has such an exceedingly easy and
comfortable time of it, it is SO seldom
that climatic misfortunes come in his
way, that he is never prepared for
emergencies and when they do come they
find him totally unprepared to meet
them. This sudden downpour, coming
at the verge of harvest time, when the
farmer was entertaining such high hopes
of the abundance soon to be showered
upon him, will teach the farmer that
there is such thing as the wheels OF the
season slipping cog now and then and
spilling rain down upon us at any time
of the year.
While the farmers are to blame in one
sense for the loss they will receive as a
result of the rain it may again be said
that they are not to be censured, for
farmers, aged and bent with service in
the Oregon grain fields can remember
but few times when such weather as the
present has made its appearance during
the month of August. They have simply
done this year what they have done TO
years in the past, and what would be
called carelessness by farmers OF the
East, has brought the Oregonian to
grief.
Had the wheat been placed in large
shocks and capped, it would have taken
more pains and and trouble yet at the
same time, the wheat would have been
able to have stood in safety long seige
of continuous rains.
This will also teach the Oregon farmer
that there are other things to do in the
world besides raising wheat, and that if
he fails in one he will succeed in
another. There is ever way to be found
out of difficulty and there is no doubt
but what the present one will be over
come in some way. The farmer of the
future is going to be very much more of
a book farmer than our fathers were, or
even the farmer of today. Farming in
the true sense Is a science, from the vir-
gin soil tooharvesting the crops grown
from the soil, the feeding of them to
domestic animals and the marketing of
them in the form of finished products.

Considerable useless and silly
flu. IS has been made over the fact
that an English officer has been
permitted to examine the coast
defences at the mouth of the Col
umbia and other points on the
PacificgCoast. It has even charged
as an administra.io crime by some
Of those who are constantly delving
for some excuse to belabor McKin-
ley. The fact isthat these courte-
sizes are common among friendly
nations, and the United States has
had for years a representative
abroad among European fortifca-
tions and specially English navy
yards. It's from information OBJ
tained this way that our own super
ior navy came into existence, and
it is from pattetning after Euro
peans notifications and disappear
ing guns that our own fortications
are built. Europe and especially
England had an up-to-date navy
and fortications before we even
thought of either and ours are imi-
tations apd improvements on theirs.
The information upon which our
war vessels were built was
obtained through the courtesy of
England and could have been
obtained in no other way. We
have representative of the post
office department now investigating
English post office methods and he
is receiving:every courtesy and as
sistanee from the English officials,
and it is simply common decency
that we should be alike courteous,
when: English officials come here.

MUST STOP RAISING WHEAT.

The long continued rain has
about fulfilled the prophecies of the
most pronounced pessimest, and at
thir writing there is no doubt but a
large part of the fall wheat in the
valley will be unmarketable, if not
entirely valueless. The spring
grain will be saved.
Unpleasant lessons are hard to
learn, and no lesson has been more
severely and continually drilled
into the farmers of the Willamette
Valley than the one that teaches
them to raise wheat for food and
not for revenue. All of their ex-
perience, all of their resources, ma
chinerv and farming knowledge
seems to run to wheat. If wheat is
is 40 cents a bushel, they SOW wheat;
if it were to fall permanently to 25.
cents bushel they would still sow
wheat, and this in the face of the
serious reminders they are con-
stantly getting that wheat is the
most unreliable revenue producer
they can raise. Every newspaper
you pick up is fllel with some
kind of advice to farmers, but this
newspaper is not going to follow
that custom. Farmers know their
business much better than we can
tell it TO them, but nature is telling
them in thunder tones year after.
year that they must stop raising
wheat for revenue, that is Of course
if revenue is an object. There was
one year in the last sixty that
stock was of no value, but nothing
had any value that year. Except
that one unfortunate yser stock
has always commanded ready sale
at good price. Every man own
ing 160 acres ofland in this valley
ought to have ten head of beef cat
tie up, to sell every year. Every
farmer ought, to have sheep and
wool and hogs and horses to sell.
The ranges in Eastern Oregon
are not producing the stock they.
used to. They are wearing out or
,settleing up with home builders,
and if Oregon is to keep up her
stock supply it must be done on
the farms.
All this is by the way, and only
suggestive, the fact that remains
unanswerabie and unarguable is
that the farmers'of the Willamette
Valley mnst drop wheat raising as
q revenue producer. They must
quit carrying all their eggs in one
basket. They have been using the
same old basket for forty or fifty
years, and they are as yet none the
richer for it and the basket is worn
out.

France through all its history
has had its regular periods of in
ternal disorder. The cause for this
cannot be found in her form of
government, for they have tried
every known form and disorders
occur alike under all. just now
she is passing through an ordeal Of
internal discomfort, that is the most
causeless and silly of all her pre-
vious record. A hitherto unknown
captain of artillery is accused by
the army Of selling military secrets
to Germany. He is convicted on
false evidence and banished. The
falsity of the evidence is discovered
and he gets new hearing before a
French military tribunal, that
seems determined to convict him,
right or wrong. His attorney is
shot on the way to the court house
at most important point of the
trial, and all France is agitated to
the point of revolution. One
avowed anarchist barricades him
self in house and defies the gov
ernment, and an anarchistic mob
burned and sacked churches in
Paris, fought and routed the police,
resulting in about 400 wounded
having been sent to the hospital,
and the end is not yet.
