The OregOnian feels sure that the
sum of 100000 will be appropriated
by the forthcoming legislature of the
State of Washington for the Lewis
and Clark fair to be held in Port
land in 1905. The Oregonian is a pa
per which we much admire, but we
think it is making a grave mistake
in urging the holding of an Expo
sition upon the scale planned. 1t will
cost too much money for the profit to
be derived therefrom. We cannot see
how it is expected that the attend
ance from the sparsely settled North
west will be more than one or two
hundred thousand during the season
of six months. The receipts will
therefore make up but small amount
of the cost. Appropriations will be
asked of the National and Northwest
state governments to bear the greater
part of the expense-and that means
the people will have to pay the bills.
1t is urged that such an exposition
will advertise the Northwest very

out here to develop our resources.
The Ranch contends that the theory
is very nice to solicit appropriations
and subscriptions with, but it won't
work out. People are not coming west
to see an exposition which at best
would be a feeble imitation of the
immense and costly affairs which
have been held back there for sue
cession Of years. Something is said
about the Oriental displays which will
be made. We doubt if the Asiatics
will be impressed with the exposition
plan of encouraging trade nearly so
much as they will by Jim Hills twen-
ty thousand ton steamers and 81
freight rate. The Ranch does not want
to seem to be an obstructionist, but we
are opposed to this state granting
an appropriation for the Lewis and
Clark Centennial. Broadly speaking,
it is impossible to make the exposit-
ion a success, either financially or of
benefit in proportion to the cost Put
the several millions that would be re-
quired for such a show into modern
highways, or irrigation improvements.
We believe that ninety-nine out Of

The original object of free distribu-
ton of seeds by the government was to
introduce new and rare varieties into
sections where they might prove OF
value. In reality, however, the seeds
are bought in job lot from the lowest
bidder and apportioned among the SEN
ators and representatives in congress
who use them to send out to their con-
stituents as a sort of "jolly."
1t is evident that they consider the
farmers of the country possessed of a
very low order of intelligence to be in
fluenced by few cents worth of seeds
of uncertain quality. The government
free seed distribution is a graft, and a
disgrace to the nation.

Gen. Tannat who was piqued be-
cause he was not allowed to be the
whole thing in the Northwest Fruit
growers association, and therefore
got up rival organization-the In
land Empire Horticultural association,
may not be accomplishing much, but
he is proving disturbing element in
the horticultural interests of the
Northwest. There is no more need for
two fruitgrowers' associations in this
country than there is for two oysters
at a Presbyterian church supper.

Another feature of the state brand
which needs correcting is that of its
use or misuse by wholesale butter deal
ers who freely put up eastern butter in
wrappers containing the state cream
cry brand. The brand was created for
the special object of preventing the
sale of eastern butter as the home
product, but instead of checking it,,
seems only to have aggravated the
evil. The dairy commissioner has
evidently been too busy to keep up
with the operations of the dealers in
this respect, and some of them use the
brand with no show of fear of the
majesty of the law. Possibly the COM
missioner will get some evidence that
will enable him to make an arrest
some day, and then the guilty one
will have to pay stack of simoleons
into the state treasury, to say nothing
of the damaging effect the exposure
will have on his trade.

Under the present ruling of the
Dairy Commissioner, anyone in the
State of Washington who buys cream
separator is entitled to use the official
brand, Washington Creamery Butter"
on the wrappers. We have two or
three times called attention to the
fact that this works decided injus-
tice on the creamerymen, for the reas-
on that the man with the home sep
arator is thereby enabled to place his
product on the market as creamery
butter, which it is not. This is unfaf
competition to the creameryman who
has considerable investment in his
plant No objection could be made to
the dairymen being supplied with a
distinct brand showing that they are
producing product from a separator,
of uniform quality, etc. Judging from
the complaints we have received from
creamerymen the commissioner should
so change his ruling as to remedy
this condition.

MANS BEST FRIEND,
The Dog is Often Reviled by Way Of
Comparison.


IT heard a man of good repute in this
community refer to another man of equally
good standing, but with whom the other
was at odds. as an internal dog" said
resident of this city to a group of friends
day or two ago.
Now" he continued. II don't exactly
know what an Internal dog is, unless 1t be
that triple-headed member of the canine
family which guards the gates of Pluto's
dominions, but it puzzles me to understand
why. when one wants to revile his neigh
Dor, he alludes to him as dog. A dog, as
we all know, is the model of fidelity, and
can't be excelled.
Il know personally Of two instances in
this city where faithful animals literally
died of grief when their owners died. One
belonged to a man who was clerk in one
companion of his owner, and when the lat
ter died the dog pinned away to a skeleton
and finally died, as l say, from grief
THE other case was that of a beautiful
spaniel that belonged to lad who died
after long illness produced by rheuma-
tism. The dog, which was on his bed every
day of his sickness, when the boy died re-
fused to take food, cried and whined per-
petually and followed his little master out
Of this world in less than month.
All of which inclines me, to think 1t is
wrong to revile the best friend of man the
animal kingdom produces"
