JEFFERSON IN 1903 AND 1906.

The Philadelphia Inquire says:
Thomas Jefferson never taught any
such doctrine as government owner
ship of railroads" "Of course not"
says the Memphis News-Scimitar
There were no railroads in this
country in Jefferson's time
But jefferson was ir favor of
government ownership of a public
road from the seat OF the general
government to st. Louis. This may
be seen by perusal of his message to
congress Of date February 10, 1908.
THE public roads then were to
commerce just what the railroads are
today, and Jefferson clearly favored
the laying out, construction and con-
troll of the great public highways by
the federal government.
"It will be very difficult to show a
difference in principle between gov
eminent ownership of the highways
then and government ownership of the
railroads now.

Where Sheep Thrive.

Sheep are common on the Cordil-
leras. at an elevation of from 5000
feet to 5000 feet, within which limits
they propagate readily; but the re-
verse is the case in hotter regions, 1t
being difficult to rear lambs on the
plains of Plata, and no sheep are
met with from the river to the foot OF
the Cordilleras, though their skins,
being in demand for parchment, sell
as high as those of the OK.
Thunberg says that sheep were at
one time the scarcest article in Ba-
tavia, their woody coat rendering the
heat of the climate insupportable;
but this was remedied by sending
them, on their arrival from the Cape,
to the Blue mountains, where the air
is many degrees colder.
In tropical countries the fleece ap-
proaches more to hair than wool.
The sheep of Tibet are celebrated for
their silky coat. Sheep brought from
the Cape were taken for some un-
known animal from the furry nature
of the wool The changes occasioned
by climate are limited to the fleece,
horns, and disposal of the fat, and
never extend to the digestive organs,
or to any of those parts on the per-
manence of which the animal depends
for its place in the scale of beings.

COLLECT THE TAXES.

The county court of Umatilla county
has ordered the delinquent personal
tax lis, segregated and placed in form
to be collected and it is hoped Will
proceed with the collection Of every
cent of this overdue tax. at once
Tax dodgers have found that b.
paving on their real estate and hold
ing back the amount due on their per,
sonal assessment, they could in this
way escape paying their Just share of
the taxes. There are now several
thousand dollars due on the personal
tax list from men who are amply able
to pay their full tax.
1t has become custom to dodge
in this way. Men with plenty of
money, drawing high interest on notes
and accounts, have taken an undue
advantage of the county in this way
to shirk their burden, with the result
that taxes are higher than they should
be. l.r~
Men who should be ashamed to re-
sort to this dodge are found on the
list and the court will be justified il
incurring extra expense to collect from
this class of tax dodgers every cen
due, with costs added.
When a poor man having a trac
of real estate becomes delinquent, tht
county quickly levies upon his lanC
and he is forced to pay or lose It'll,
TO his land. Rut the rich mone!
lender with his property in profitable
notes, mortgages and accounts be
comes delinquent with impunity an,
no effort has been made in the pas
to collect this form of delinquen
taxes.
The expense Of levying on persona
property has been placed upon tn
sheriff through a mistake in the Law
and for the reason that making tn
levies would more than consume tn
salary of the sheriff. few collections o
delinquent personal taxes have bee
made.
The court should not only segre
gate and enroll the delinquents on thi
list. but should provide Tor the i'm
mediate collection of this long over
due tax.
Tho county needs it. The ia
dcdger should not be tolerated an
longer.

NEW BUILDING MATERIALS.

The announcement of a Brooklyn
engineer that the pyramids which
have withstood the storms of centuries
are made of concrete blocks and are
not OF stone. IS of moro than passing
interest, even in Pendleton.
The scarcity and high price Of
building material has brought the
matter of securing new kinds of ma
terial before the public. Among the
modern materials which are now
making good headway is the concrete
block, which has proved to be sub-
stantial, cheap and architecturally
beautiful.
In Oklahoma and southern Kansas
many large buildings have been erect
cd from concrete blocks a variety
Of colors is used. giving a very beauti-
ful effect and the construction Of con-
crete "a workmanlke manner, in
sures a perpetual building which even
becomes more substantial with age.
As timber becomes more scarce in

the Puget sound advances prices. oeo-

CROP WORTH s15.ioO PER ACRE.

a crop that will produce S15,4O0 to
the acre has been discovered in Brazil
according to a report to the depart
mert of commerce and labor, from
United States Consul General George
f. Anderson. at Rio lie Janeiro. 1t is
the Brazilian linen, and several eN-
perimeutal plantations are making an
effort to put it into practical use.
According to the consul generals
report, the plant grows l. TO is feet
high and somewhat resembles hemp
It natures so rapidly that % field will
produce three crops a year. The f
her has strength, firmness. fleXibilttS
end adaptability for bleaching and
dying.
II may revoluIonjze the linen in
dus,ry of the world and become an
importcnt competitor Of cotton. An
acre will produce - tons and the pro-
duct includes not only the various
grades of fiber for fine or coarse
linen. but stems and roots can be
used for making paper
The suggestion is made that the ag-
ricultural department should investi-
gate this wonderful plant, and see if
it can he produced in the portions of
the United States that are free from
frost The plant is said to be 'abso-
lutely hardy. resisting alike the dry

on dry or wet soil. and not a prey to
insects or mildew."

FARMERS AND THEORISTS.

The news dispatches from Washing
ton say that the agricultural depart
nent will furnish experts from east
ern colleges to instruct the farmers
on the Mnidoka government irriga-
tion project in raising irrigated crops
The East Oregonian can now imag
inc the scorn with which one-gallu,
rancher from the sagebrush would
contemplate an expert" irrigationist
from an eastern college.
1t would be laughable to hear some
of these old veterans who came to the
west and settled on a Wilderness farm
80 years ago, taking their first lesson
from dandy boy from tip top col
lege, where everything was furnished
free and Uncle Sam footed the bill"
The irrigation which is known to
the old veteran of the west has been
learned from grim contact with tho
earth. He found nothing but the
land ard the stream, and it was up to
him to originate ways to unite the
two with whatever methods might be
at hand.
And yet we must not disparage the
educated irrigatiunist for the system
Of agriculture is improving in the
United States about as rapidly as any
other line of industry and while the
actual farmer knows well what he
has learned from experience, yet the
eyperimenters and book farmers have
discovered many new schemes and
made many advances Uniting the
wisdom of the actual farmer with the
theory of the speculative farmer
should be productive of excellent
fruits.
The intention of the government is
good. And the result of the coming
Of the experts to the newly reclaimed
projects will lift farming from a
drudgery to the plane of a more SCI
entific ami elevating industry. All
knowledge is power.

CORN CROP IN 10 STATES.

Ten states, including the seven sur
plus corn states and Texas, Tennessee,
and Kentucky, have promise of corn
crop this year of 1914, 100000 bush
els. Ten years ago this would have
been considered a large crop for the
entire country, as for years a 2,000,-
900, 900 bushel crop was looked upon
as a bumper yield.
The condition of corn September
of 90.2 was the highest for Sep
tember since 1896, when it was 81, and
the crop that year aggregated 2,2S3,-
00O,0 bushels. In 1905 the condi-
ton was 96.4 and the crop 2,151, 1,O0O,-
O00bushels. There have been only
three years in the past IA in which the
September condition of corn has been
as high as 80. The annual consump-
ton of corn exceeds 2,2OO,OOO,OOO
bushels

has the largest wheat crop this year
It has had in long time. The area
sown amounts to more than 26,OO0,-
600 acres and the yield is estimated
at S,560,OOO tons, which is 100000
tons more than the yield of last year.
1t is expected that this will have an
appreciable effect upon the price of
wheat in the markets Of the world

SONORA SETTINGS.

This week the Ohio. Mexican Min ing. Company have blown in their new 60-ton copper smeFter at Gale ra. in the Altar district of Sonora. In the near future another stack of far greater capacity will be added and beside reducing their own ores the company will do a customs business.
 A recent telegram from Boston reads; While final reports have not been received from the mines, the approximate production of the Greene Consolidated Copper Min ing Company for the calendar year 1905 was 63,000,0O0 pounds of cop- per. For the last two months of the year the production was not normal because of unavoidable in reference, such as the Capote trou- ble, shortage of cars, bad weather which interfered with fuel supply, etc. Production is now declared to be again normal, viz, at the rate of about ninety tons per day. The last telegrams from the mines giv- ing the production for the 9th and Eth of this month, placed the out put at ninety-one tons per day"
 An authentic report comes from Minas Prietas that Sunday last band of well armed Yaquis at tackled a wagon train hear Represo, about six miles northeast from that place, and after driving off the es- cort and teamsters helped them selves from the cargo to whatever they wanted in provisions and clo- thing. The train had nineteen wagons and an escort of eight sold iers, and was en route to Chipiona in the Sahuaripa district, with large supply of merchandise for the Cieneguita Copper Go. Leaving at the scene their old shirts and pam taloons the Yaquis gave on inkling of their number There were sew enty-two old shirts and the same number of worn pantaloons. In the melee two Of the teamsters were killed.

Santa Fe Pamphlet.

The Santa Fe road has issued an illustrated pamphlet giving des- cription of Scotty's celebrated run from Los Angeles to Chicago, which he made in special train in A hours and 54 minutes, at an ex- pense of $5,500. The description IA an interesting one, written by K. N. Holman, newspaper man who was on the train, and 1t is graphic description of the run, H. lustrated by pictures of Scotty, his wife, the train, and several of the engines that hauled it. There is printed large map showing the course of the road from Los Ange- les to Chicago, which told where the train was at different times, and where the fast runs were made. Above the map is printed profile of the country, showing the eleva- tion of the road at different pla- ces along the line. According to this profile the highest point is at Raton, and from there east 1t is a downhill pull all the way into Chicago. There is also printed a comparative description of other notable runs made over the Santa Fe, including the Nellie Bly spe- cial, the Cheney special, described in Rudyard Kipling's story of Captains Courageous, and several other special trains that have made the run at fast rates, but none of them equalled the one made by Scotty when he was in hurry.
