WESTERN oREGoN'S NEEDS.

That very bright paper, The Danes
Chronicle, mistakes the Capital Jour
nals attitude.
The Journal has always helped east
ern Oregon get appropriations for
the portage road.
Ten wears ago. when Portland on.
posed the portage road, the editor of
the Journal was fighting for it.
He made the fight on the floor of
the house against railroad attorneys
that first got consideration for the
portage.
These things are all forgotten, and
there are editors now who imagine
they get nothing but what they get
from Portland.
But the time has come when west
ern Oregon must have recognition, as
well as eastern Oregon.
Western Oregon wants free locks in
the willamette. as we'll as eastern
oregon in the Columbia.
Western Oregon wants deeper rivers
and better harbors, as well as the Co.
lumbia basin.
western Oregon will not stand to
have every dollar of state and federal
aid poured into the Columbia for the
next 10 years, as has been done for
the past 10 years, and western Ore.

FARMERS ARE UNITING.

The Farmers Union" is the name
Of new farmers organization that
has been making a rapid growth in
many sections of the country during
the last fen years. The new organi-
zation IS holding its convention this
week at Topeka, Kan, with an at
tendance of 1900 delegates and spec
tators.
The plans of the farmers union is
to store the wheat crop in co-opera-
tive elevators, which are to be located
at numerous convenient points in the
wheat producing states, and simply
decline to sell until whatever price
they may agree upon is offered.
In the matter of establishing ele-
vators much progress has already
been made as the states of Illinois.
Minnesota and Nebraska each report
over 100, while several other states
almost equal that number each. The
purpose is to urge cooperation all
along the line, to keep the farmers
posted and ultimately to control acre.
age 50 that there will be little. surplus
to carry over.
The new organization has had a
most wonderful growth only having
been organized in 1902. The present
membership aggregates 700. 900, which
all will concede is a growth of a new
organization probably unequalled in
the past in so short a period. Its or
ganization was effected in Rains coun-
ty. Texas, and aggressive work has
continued since the start. Numerous
weekly and monthly publications have
espoused the cause of the new union
and the rapid growth is expected to
continue as $50 organizers are to be
placed in the west and every wheat
growing county Of the United States
is to be visited. Labor organizations
are to be invited to cooperate in the
movement.

GRADUATES IN BUSINESS.

Figures which have just been COM
piled from the new directory of living
graduates and former students of
Princeton university show that the
college graduate of today is more and
more choosing a business rather than
professional career. These statistics
show that nearly one-third of the liv-
ing alumni of Princeton are in busi-
ness.
The increasing number of college
men who are entering and influencing
business life in America is one of the
marked changes that has come over
our educated population in the last
25 years. 1t is not so long ago that
practically all boys sent to college
were destined for a professional career
law, divinity, teaching. medicine
journalism, engineering, etc. But all
this is changed.
Exclusive of the class of 1906. there
are 1890 living alumni of Princeton.
OF the 6522 classified according to
their occupation, 22S5 are in business,
1898 in the law, 924 in the ministry,
500 practicing medicine, 433 teachers.
200 engineers, 104 journalists, so are
ranching and farming, so gentlemen
of leisure, Al students, "a in the army

81 civil service, 26 architecture, 10
chemists. 10 artists, Q authors, In
the navy, librarians, musicians,
and dentists.
Among the living alumni of the
classes prior to 1S41. who number "a,
none is engaged in business, prior to
1850, only per cent, and prior to
1870 only 10 per cent In the eighties
the number of graduates following a
business career shows a marked in
crease, amounting to 25 per cent.
This percentage remains practically
the same for the alumni in the nine
ties. In the classes which have been
graduated since 1900, the increase is
very marked, averaging so per cent.
1t is fair presumption that there
will be an increase instead of a de-
crease in the number of students who
will follow a business career and that
the tendency of the times to educate
a man for business by sending him to
college for four years or a shorter
period will increase rather than di-
minish.

MAKE ALCOHOL IN OREGON.

Howard K. Clover was in eastern
Oregon SOME time ago looking over
the opportunity for establishing a de-
natured alcohol plant in this section.
He represents capital desirous Of en-
gaging in the industry and is looking
for four sites for such plants.
Since his visit here he has been
at Coos Bay and has made arrange
ments there to erect a plant. 1t is to
be Of sufficient capacity TO consume
some 100000 tons Of potatoes annu-
ally. He has contracted for potatoes
at IS a ton.
That will be a very important in
dustry for that place. The land there
produces potatoes to great advantage

n GRIDIRON ELEGY.

Now comes the megaphoneless hour
of the day
The hoarse voiced crowd begins 70
twenty-three;
The rooters homeward plod their
weary way.
And leave the field to doctors and
to me.
In yonder ambulance, that rumbles
Ger the hill,
Full many a senseless giant, bleed
ing lay;
And to the hospital went battered Tom
and Bill,
To count the many bruises of the
day.
For them no more the ump're's whis-
tie calls,
No more the megaphones will bid
them kill:
No more they'll have those thrilling
dives and falls,
That have their sequel in the doc
tors bill.
Perhaps to this neglected ground
there creeps
Some chap who last year played
the game;
He takes one look-ah, how the poor
chap weeps-
Across the field where he lost gore
and frame.
Full many a star Of purest ray serene
The white beds of yon hospital now
bear;
Full many players born to groan
unseen
And waste much arnica-likewise
much swear.
Far from the madding crowds igno-

Hereafter they will limp their way
along.
And play might've, or shake the dice
for beers
Or stick to that most quiet game

RABBITS IN NEW ZEALAND.

Everybody has read of the efforts
put forth by the farmers and the gov
ernment of New Zealand to get rid OF
the pest Of rabbits whose rapid in
crease at one time seriously inter-
fered with the crops.
But the tables were turned, and the
pest has been made a source Of prof.
It. In 1893 more than II million
skins were exported; in 1904 over six
million skins, valued at $204, 900, and
nearly 100000 frozen rabbits and
hares, worth half a million dollars
were exported, showing that rabbits
now can hardly be looked upon as
wholly worthless.-Chicago Record

LIFE'S MOCKERY.

"Why 10 we grudge our sweets so to
the living
Who. God knows, find at best too
much of gall,
And then with generous, open hearts
kneel, giving
Unto the dead our all?
Why do We pierce the warm hearts
sin or sorrow
With idle tests, or scorn, or cruel
sneers, "a
And when it cannot know, on some
tomorrow,
Speak Of its woe through tears?
What do the dead care for the tender
token
The love, the praise, the floral Of
ferings?
Bot palpitating, living hearts are
broken
For want of just these things.
