crop. But the man who had a supply
on hand was able to dispose of it last
week for about fifteen cents bushel
above the normal price. If bad roads
interfere with getting the goods to
the railroad-as occasionally happens
the farmer risks losing opportunities
to sell at high price.
The waste of time involved in haul
ing through mud is apt to be over
looked. The farmer is too inclined to
think that it makes no difference
maybe he wouldn't be working that
day, anyway. But it is just in this
neglect to make the most of their
time that many farmers fail. 1t is as
important that all hands keep busy
all the time on a farm as it is that
they be kept constantly at work in a
manufacturing plant. Another ele-
ment of waste in using bad roads is
the wear and tear on the horses, wa

they would if used only on macadam.
The side of this question which af-
fects the matter of taste also has a
practical bearing. Dirt and shiftless-
ness tend to go together. The farmer
whose wagon is covered with clay
doesn't feel the pride in keeping up
his place that he would if his vehicle
came back clean from drive to town.
Manufacturers and business men of all
sorts are finding that it pays to keep
their places ship-shape. The most
successful farmers have learned the
same lesson. Muddy roads are enemies
to the good order that helps make a
farm successful. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to dwell on their relation to that
isolation which Mr.. Morton rightly
said is the chief objection to farm
life In part this is inevitable. But
it can be greatly relieved by the i'm
provement of roads. There is no reason
why a farmers family should suffer
solitary confinement during many
weeks of the year

pany filed articles of incorporation last
week. The capital stock of the compa-
ny is $1,000,000, and the principal
place of business is Eugene. The in
corporators are R. A. Booth, John F.
Kelly and George H. Kelly The OBJ
jects of the incorporation cover nearly
everything in the livestock business.
This company has been formed by
members of the Booth-Kelly Lumber
Company, and is for the purpose of
developing portion of the property
of that company recently acquired
from the Military Wagon Road Com
pany, and the new company will take
all that portion of the land grant east
of the Cascade Mountains which has
been found to be more valuable for
stockraising than for timber. An ex-
tensive industry is thus to be devel
oped.
About forty manufacturers of pro-
cess butter have organized themselves
into an association under the name of
the National Association of Process
Butter Manufacturers. They have
set forth their reason for combining
as "the desire to prevent the injuri-
Gus effects of individual competi-
ton" In other words they will be
in a position to fix the price that shall
be paid for the butter that goes into
their factories to be worked over. If
they are paying twelve cents for it
now they will doubtless find eleven
cents all it is worth and little later
may conclude that ten is enough. The
butter makers of the country may as
well settle down to the conclusion
that the price fixed will always be in
favor of the factories and not of the
country butter maker or of the corner
grocery keeper that sells it to them
! At this time about the only way to
escape from a condition where the
maker of the butter will have moth
ing to say about the making of the
price is to learn to make butter so
good that it will not have to be sold

Nineteenth Year
PROSPECTS,.

Judging by the attendance at the
fairs this year. / am of the opinion
that the farming population of the
state has increased nearly 25 per cent
in the last year. Not only were there
more people, but the interest in the
displays was much greater. The en-
thusiasm was at it's height around the
stock pens, showing that there is
very general awakening to the advan-
tage of pure-bred stock Only few
years ago, when the higher types of
pure-bred stock were first exhibited at
the fairs, the natives were filled with
amazement, the contrast was so great
with the ordinary mixed stock of the
country. Whenever anyone plucked
up the courage to inquire as to prices,
the figures named gave startling
shock. A few of the more progress
sive ones who dared to purchase were
set down as foolhardy, who would soon
regret their extravaganza.
A marked change has taken place
among our farmers during the last
few years. The progressive element
attends the fairs and stock sales, in
spects the exhibits, carefully selects
good breeding animals of whatever
breed considered most desirable and
is willing to pay a good price there
for, provided the stock fills the re-
quirements.
Into the neighborhood where
pure-bred herds are introduced, the
standard of the live stock industry is
proportionately raised. Because of the
results thus accomplished the fairs
may be considered most valuable
and practical educational factor, and
worthy of all possible encouragement.
Paul Morton, recently gave us his
reasons why country roads should be
improved. In the first place, bad
roads are an extravaganza, and in the
second place they contribute much to
the isolation of farm life. A third
consideration may be added-the
wholesome effect of good highways on
the farmer himself. Any one of these
reasons is sufficient to warrant a con-
siderable expenditure of money and
time on improvements. Together they
make an invincible argument.
The modern farmer keeps in touch
with the market either by telephone
or by his daily newspaper. Frequent
ly in the case of ordinary produce, oc-
casionally with the important staples,
he can take advantage of a temporary
rise in the market t-provided the roads
are good. If they are bad his precau-
tions go for nothing. OF course the
trouble has been that farmers have
been unable to take care of this years

pets, but not so nice for the people
who paid the taxes. Mr.. Hemenway
hoisted a pennant in the shape of a
corrective amendments, and was fol-
lowed by Mr.. Bell of Colorado. who
announced that after listening to Mr..
Burkett he had experienced a change
of heart. This loosened the mornings
of other friends of the bill. Gen.
Harry Bingham weighed his anchor
and followed Mr.. Bell, while MIR.
John Williams of Mississippi, came
about in short order. Even Gen.
Grosvenor of Ohio, found himself en-
tirely at sea and drifted out with the
tide. Vainly did Hopkins try to stem
the current. His bill was recommitted
without ceremony, and the contest
was ended. The excitement outside
the Capitol was intense. Within
quarter of a mile 1000 employees were
at work closing up the present CEN
sus. A score of telephones were de-
failing the struggle in the House, and
many female heart was palpitating
with anxiety. Although not more than
one in five stood any chance of being
retained in the bureau. all were pray
ing for the passage of the measure,
and specializing upon the result. The
recommittal caused general disap-
pointment.
Such was the fate that befell two
strenuous statesmen from Illinois on
the very threshold of the session Cam
non is almost uniformly successful in
his ventures, nor is Hopkin behind him
in energy and ability. Both apparently
take delight in attacking others. Many
a strenuous congressman has been
driven from the field of legislation I'M
der their efforts. Nerve and alertness
are the characteristics of a strenuous
statesman. He must not only drive his
bill through the Committee of the
Whole, but he must be prepared for am
buscades when it is returned to the
House. If the bill is carefully drawn
and has been thoroughly analysed be-
fore presentation, the strenuous states
man will have little trouble in passing
1t. The spirit of criticism, however,
is always abroad; a loose screw or a
bent pivot is sure to be seen and to
awaken inquiry. A wabbling balance
wheel incites legislative experts to i'm
mediate action. Such experts are not
easily pacified. Ever on the qui vive,
their work is done solely on the floor
of the House. You never find them por-
ing over documents in committee rooms.
While never presenting bills of their
own for consideration, they are etern-
ally tearing to tatters those presented
by their more Industrious brethren.
They lie in wait, like spiders in a cor
ner, darling upon their victims unex-
pectedly, and ensnaring them in the
web of ingenious sophistry. They prate
of the constitution, and indulge in quo
tations from Shakespeare and from the
decisions of the Supreme Court. These
legislative experts are the bane of
strenuous statesmen. Each incites, the
other to an assault any thew readily
combine when fight wakes warm.
strenuous statesman should never

causes irritation and breeds deadly
histility. 1t is not pleasant to have
