deeper today. IL, alcng with those
splendid dividends to the stockholders,
which set Wall street on its head for
a week, the announcement had come
that more cars had been provided and
better facilities established, for relief
of tie congestion of Western business.
The supply Of coal has run out at
Portland, and there are no cars. Same
as to wood. People are getting into a
fever about their winters fuel. That
fever may keep them warm for
while, but they fear the chill. There
are great orders for lumber, but small
equipment to haul it away. Doubtless
there will be cars, at last; but mean
time working forces are likely to dis
iutegrate and trade connections lost.
The demands of the traffic, all over
the Pacific States, have out run the
supply of cars and motive power. 1t
has been said that the extraordinary
requirements could not have been
foreseen. There is some truth here,
doubtless; yet it is good while since
the demands grew urgent, and there is
no prospect that they will soon be met.
So consequently, while our people
do not begrudge Mr.. Harriman's stock
holders their fine dividends, or their
high prospects of continued prosper
ity, yet they do desire and will con-
tinue to insist that equipment shall be
supplied, with all reasonable speed, to
meet the demands of the traffic OF the
country. Nothing can keep down an
inquiry in the legislature of Oregon
next January on these subjects, except
fair and certain assurance Of relief
from these repressive and oppressive
conditions.

WAYS OF TURKEY

1t is the fate of the Leir apparent
to the throne of Turkey that he must
be kept in ignorance of the happen
ings in the world. When, therefore,
a doctor is TO see him, the physician
must submit to be searched like
pickpocket, SO that he may not sur
reptitiously carry to the prisoner in
formation which would enlighten him.
When he pays professional visit to
the harem the doctor is under still
greater suspicion. Being European
he may not see the patient. This
makes diagnosis difficult. The at
tendants stretch huge curtain across
the room. Behind this the patient
takes her stand. thrusts out her tongue
and hand through the holes in the
curtain, so that the man of medicine
may see one aud feel the other. yet not
look on the face of the person to whom
they belong.

IOWA'S SWEET PUMPKINS

The Iowa experiment station is do
ing some original work in breeding
pumpkins in order to raise their sugar
contents. Prof. A. S. Beach of the
horticultural department has select
ed ninety pumpkins of the different
varieties, has planted them, and upon
their attaining maturity has submit
ted samples of each to Prof. L. q.
Michael, chemist of the station, who
analyzed them. He found that their
sugar contents varied from almost
nothing to as high as per cent. This
high grade is one third as much as
the average amount of sugar found in
sugar beets. Another interesting fact
disclosed was that for weight pump
kins have less solid matter than milk.
This great variation in saccharine
substances opens up new field tor
breeding Investigations. The object
now is to pick the seed from the
varieties giving the best chemical
analysis and to breed crosses OF the
different varieties.

Is Disease a Crime !?

Not very long ago, a popular magazine
published an editorial article In which
the writer asserted, in substance, that all
disease should be regarded as criminal.
Certain 1t is, that much of the sickness
and suffering of mankind is due to the
violation of certain of Natures laws.
But to say that all sickness should be
regarded as criminal, must appeal to
every reasonable individual as radically
wrong
1t would be harsh, unsympathetic,
cruel, yes criminal. to condemn the poor,
weak, over-worked housewife who sinks
under the heavy load of household cares
and burdens, and suffers from weak

ONE ON THE EDITOR

When Booth Harrington was at
Princeton university the editor of the
college paper bore his literary re-
sponsibilities with portentous serious
ness. He was won't to speak in ac-
cents of emphatic scorn of the quality
of the submitted contributions from
which he was supposed to make a
periodical worthy of the senior class.
One day he found in his letter box a
poem which moved him to more than
usual disgust. "See here, /" he snorted
contemptuously. "this Isl what some
fool freshman sends in and calls
poetry. How am going to make a
magazine out of stuff like this!"

BLIGHTED ORCHARDS
Hillsboro Independent.

A person travelling from one end of
the valley to the other will be sur
prised to note the thousands of bush
els of apples fotting on the ground.
Because of the order issued by fruit
inspectors, growers dare not offer for
sale diseased fruit, aud upon examin,
alton it will be found that most of
the apples going to waste are worm
eaten or covered with San Jose scale.
Nothing but systematic fight against
the scale and Goblin moth will save
the immense orchards now going to
ruin, some of them right here in our
own county. On a recent trip over
the Corvallis s. Eastern Railway
we noticed many fine orchards heavily
laden with fruit and was told that
much of it would have to be sent to
the mill or fed to the hogs because of
the scale, which prevented sale OF
the truit in open market.

ATHENA, ORE, OCTOBER. ~, 1906

A Portland paper says the southern
tornado is having unfavorable effects
on Pacific northwest timber in the
same degree that the San Francisco
earthquake affected the Portland real
estate market. From $4,000,000 to
50, 900, 900 that was ready week ago
for investment in Oregon timber has
suddenly been withdrawn from the
investment market by rich timber
owners who are heavy losers by the
southern storm. Southern pine, once
down, rots quickly, and the only way
to save it is to Immediately log out
aud saw it into lumber. This method
will be adopted by the owners of vast
tracts of yellow pine that were laid
fiat on the ground by the tornado i'll
Louisiana and Mississippi. Portable
saw mills will he rushed into the
woods and the timber will be sawed
and shipped. The result will, it is
said, be heavy overproduction, glut-
ted market and prices will go to pot.
1t is sad circumstance that tor
nado, carrying in it's wake death and
misery, and entailing millions in loss
should be the medium through which
building material is to be forced
down in price to the level of its worth
aud within reach of purchase by the
person of moderate means. That in
the nature of events the tornado had
to happen or did happen, a civilized
nation deplores, but ''that it's an i'll
wind that blows nobody good" will
certainly be exemplified to prospective
home builders should the lumber
market Lecome glutted and prices go
to smash, if only temporarily.

The fuel prospect for the winter at
Prescott, Wash, is slim. The Specta-
tor comments as follows:
"There is not an ounce [of coal in
town and from all that we can learn
there is not very good prospects for
Improvement. Mr.. Leonard informs
us that his company has done every
thing it could to get coal in here, but
the coal companies plead lack of cars
and offer no encouragement. 1t is
certainly a strange thing that COM
munity should have its customary
supply of fuel cut indefinitely be-
cause of lack of Fears. Ii the rail
road company hasn't got the cars it
would appear to be its duty to get
them. There is no justification in
the lack of cars plea for the fuel stu
alton existing in Prescott for the past
two months, and which promises to
continue unless something is done
pretty shortly" :"
