Dairy experts all over the country are laying increased stress upon the necessity of q thorough washing and scalding of the hand separator as soon as possible after it is used each day.

Some idea of the enormous repro ductive capacity possessed by the lar ger varieties of fish may be got from who took five and one-eighth pounds of eggs from one German carp. By actual count one grain contained four teen eggs, which would bring the sum total of eggs carried by this fish up to approximately 12.41O.290. It is this remarkable fecundity of the carp fam multiplies with such rapidity In all waters where it's eggs and young fry are protected from the ravages of its natural enemies.

HELP GET THE JUrE MILL.

Oregon farmers who paid II cents
each for grain sacks this year will be
active in bringing the state jute mill
proposition before the coming session
of the legislature.
Eastern Oregon members of the
Legislature as far as they have eX-
pressed themselves are in favor of
the state jute plant. Western Ore
gon members cannot consistently de-
ny such a practical and necessary ad-
junct of the state in which wheat
raising is one of the leading indus
tries.
The western oregon members are
always willing to appropriate for the
fish hatcheries, which are maintained
almost entirely for the benefit of the
big canneries. The people of Ore
gen receive very little direct benefit
from the hatcheries and yet this is
one of the great industries of the
state and must be husbanded.
In a larger egree the making Of
grain sacks is a vital industry in the
state and the farmer should be ne
longer lett to the mercy of the jutt
trust.

THE OREGON GERRYMANDER

The attention of the Oregon ma
chine is now directed to the posslbil-
ity of redtstricting the state into sem
atorial and legislative districts, says
the Salem journal.
The gerrymander of 10 years ago
cannot be repeated. 1t was about
the worst piece Of work ever done in
that line in a western state.
The Oregoniau Salem editor on
Monday admits that districts were
created to make places for cast-oft
political hacks.
Tie shoestring representative and
senatorial district reaching from the
Columbia river, including Vase
county to the California line, was ;
political outrage.
Tie way the state has been dis,
tricted the past 10 years was a de
liberate Acknowledgement of the mi.
nority parties, a disgraceful game.
Under that gerrymander we hav;
this year Il so-called house of repre-
sentatiyes with but a single membel
of the opposition party in it.
That is representation with ven
geance, and the gerrymander alon
is responsible for it. Counties natur
ally democratic are all blotted out.
Every fair-minded man who ha
studied the situation In Oregon know
the republican party has not beel
helped by these methods nor the peo
| pie benefited.
But the machine is preparing to re
peat the outrage of politically ma
nipulating themselves into office agail
for another 10 years.

would he open 10 the public at all
times.
The East Oregonian has failed to
hear one solitary word of complaint
against the fair or the management,
Everything conspired to make the
first fair success and now that a
good start has been made, the man
agement should keep on striking
while the IRON is hot.
To keep up perpetual interest and
make the people know that the fair
is something for the public veal
something to be seen and enjoyed not
only for a week diving the fall, but
every day during the year. the COM
mission should establish permanent
headquarters, install permanent
exhibit and equip a public rest room
for country people and strangers
while in the city.
This will be living symbol of the
fair The people will be able to see
and enjoy it. They will feel that it
belongs to them and when the time
comes to gather exhibits for the fall
event, every citizen in the two coun-
ties will feel a personal interest in
the work and pavilion will be filled
to overflowmg.
The cost of maintaining a free room
will not he eXorbitant. Plenty of men
are to be found who will be glad to
pay a portion of the rent on, such a
room and take care of it in addition
and in this way large permanent
exhibit may be collected and a public
rest room maintained.
1t is well worth while. If the peo-
pie see or hear nothing of the fair
from one fall until the next, the same
difficulty in arousing public interest
will be experienced which was, ex-
perienced this year in starting it. II
it is kept before the people all the
year, it will not have to be revived
1t will come to be a recognized fix
tire in the community.

AT WHITNIAN'S GRAVE.

Mingled emotions arise as the mind
wanders to the grave of Marcus Whit
man in the Walla Walla valley. The
visit OF the Presbyterian synod OF
Washington to the grave of the pio-
neer missionary recalls something OF
the self-sacrifice made by that hero
in opening to settlement this magni.
ficent country and in planting the
seed of Christianity among the sava-
ges.
His church and his government
both grossly mistreated Marcus Whit
man. His appeals for aid and en-.
couragement in maintaining his little
settlement at Waiilatpu were turned
down by both the United States gov
eminent and the missionary board oi
the Presbyterian church.
Alone and heartbroken, Whitman
carried OH his work among the Indi.
ans and opened the gates to this EN-.
pire which we of the present day en-.
Joy.
The splendid civilization which now
surrounds Waiilatpu. the happy
homes, prosperous settlements ant
thriving cities which are now found
on the wilderness which he invaded
justify his judgment and point ar
accusing finger at the church ant
government which looked upon hin
as a visionary.

How sweetly 1t comes back, how ten
derly,
That evenings end; no little thing
forgot;
The fire made safe; set back the
steaming pot;
Windows and doors shut tightly as
could be;
The tall clock wound; the house all
still; and then
The dear old man his candle takes
and goes
To seek his own well-earned, prayer
blest repose.
His heart at peace with all the sons OF
men.
And, when we to the end of toll have
won,
And 1t is time for US to go to bed,
May we as gently move unto our
rest,
Leaving no simplest needful thing un.

No word Of healing gentleness un-
said,
Some lamp of God close to our
bosoms pressed.
