The Order Made.

The Oregon railroad commls-
sion has issued the following
recommendations ia regard to
the new depot and other improv-
ments at the Albany depot
grounds: ..~
Two additional incandesent
lights to be installed on the present
depot platform, under the porch.
and an arc light over the tracks
north and westerly from the
main line of track. These lights
are to be kept burning for 80
minutes previous to the arrival of
every train. The company is
also ordered to erect a suitable
passenger depot on the north aud
west side of its tracks before
January first, 1907. The depot
is to cost approximately $4,000.
The railroad will be allowed
bv the commission to move for an
extension OF time to build the de-
pot upon showing its good faith
in attempting to comply with the
order.

Could Not Find a Man.

If there is an idle man in Ben
ton county these days it is be-
cause he is either disabled or too
worthless to accept honest en-
ployment at good wages, for there
is work for all who will accept it.
Like the invitation in the good
book it is a case of "whosoever
will may come" and the wages
offered are tempting enough to
satisfy even the chronic kicker.
A man came out from Blodget
few days ago looking for a helper.
At home acres upon acres of ripe
grain awaited the binder and there
wasno one to shock in the field af-
ter the bundles were ready. The
farmer was desperate. He hunt
ed until almost midnight for a
man who would go home with
him and shock grain, and at last
found I5.ysar-old boy to wfssal
he offered $3.50 per day and
board. The boy went. The
man was Jim Blodgett, and the
story comes from a thoroughly
reliable source. 1t is declared
that some Benton county farmers
paid helpers in the hay field 81. 50
per day and boarded them, this
season.
Wages on the farm, in years
gone by, have been as low as $40
per mouth. The difference in
figures then and now is signif-
cant. 1t shows how the Villa
mette Valley is prospecting and
how every man in this section
has work at good wages.
There is no better place for
the homeseeker to head for when
he 'pulls up stakes' in the East,
than Benton county.

in hogs. His memory goes back
to not distant time when the
profit was hard to figure out.
Even in those days there were
some farmers who made money
on hogs in this state. More
general knowledge of how they
did it will encourage others to 60
into the business We do not
know of any other one thing
which would do as much to stimu-
late hog raising in Oregon as
feeling of assurance in this state
that an Oregon farmer could de-
pend on getting half a cent
pound more for bis hogs than the
Nebraska farmer gets. The Ore
gon farmer, under existing econ
omic conditions is entitled to
their margin and if be becomes
CONVINCED that he will certainly
get it there will be boom in the
hog-raising business in Oregon.

PRAISES 0Ac.
Says it is Grange Institution in
Every Sense.

The Oregon State Agricultural college
is grange institution in every sense OF
the word. It was founded by the grange
snd is now its greatest monument. -Four
members OF the order are on the board
of regents, and their reports of the col
lege at the State Grange sessions are
instructive and entertaining. They are
what the members expect.
The courses given at our college do not
guarantee the success of every young
person who enters upon or completes
them. Their ultimate ability to succeed
will depend largely on their inherent
ability to grasp every chance which
offers an opportunity.
The Agricultural courses at Corvallis
do three things for the conscientious
student: They give him the knowledge
of the immense number of we'll proved
facts; they familiarize him with still
larger number of fundamental principles,
upon which successful practices in the
various branches of Agriculture must be
based; and they train him in habits,
thoughts, concentration study and OBJ
servation.
Someone has said: 'Jo be educated
is to be able to think long, accurately
and to safe conclusion" No man
needs this training more than he who
wrestles with the problems OF the farm,

the forces of plant life. animal life, soils,

Where Are They?

Ninety per cent of the cheese
produced in this country comes
from five states-New York,
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ohio
and Michigan, says the Journal
editoriallv. In the statistics OF
the industry, Oregon is scarcely
on the map. Oddly enough, the
country as a whole does not sup
ply itself. In 1904 we bought,
in round numbers, $4,000, 900
pounds in foreign countries. We
have the capital, the skill, the
feed and the cattle as no other
country has but signally fail to
manufacture enough cheese for
our own consumption. A humil
iating feature is that our rate of
importation is increasing. We
imported only IA, 900, 600 pounds
in 1900, but scared to 23, 200, 900
pounds four years later. The
rate of increase during the perod
was 90 per cent, while our rate OF
increased production for the same
time was only I2H per cent.
For the privilege OF eating the
foreign product, we pay a heavy
duty, pay treights several thous-
aud miles, and pay profits to both
home and foreign dealers. The
foreigner operates on costlier
lard, where he is hampered for
room and hedged about with
handicaps. He must keep his
kline, and grow his feed, in con-
hues almost tco narrow for an Ore
gon garden spot. But, costly as Is
the process, we go to his market,
eat his cheese and pay his price.
With five of our states, and ou,
best dairy states at that. proauc-
ing 90 per cent of the country's 5
cheese, the explanation is easy.

Ships Sink to the Bottom.

Professor Davis Of Harvard uni
versity, author of a noted physical
geography, says, ''Anything which is
heavy enough to sink at the top will
sink all the way to the bottom y
Water is almost incompressible, and
for this reason its density, even at
the greatest depths, varies very
slightly from that at the surface;
hence steel will be of greater dens-
ity than water at any depth and will
consequently sink to the bottom.

The Other Fellows Job.

It's pretty soft for the motorman-
He rides the whole day long,
With nothing to do but start the car
And tap warning gong.
The rest of Us have to pay five cents
Whenever we want to ride;
Lacking the fare we must use Shank's
mare
When we do our homeward glide.
It's pretty soft for the doctor,
Who deals in human ills,
Though at a. m. he must leave his bed,
Armed with a box of pills,
At times he must face the wintry wind
That stingeth like knout,
But the rest of us have to take
The dope the doctor dishes out.
It's pretty soft for the lawyer,
Who labors over his brief,
And prays to the court that his client
Be granted eaid relief,
He must read thousand volumes,
All bound in musty calf
But the rest of us when We break our
legs,
Must give the lawyer half.
It's pretty soft fer the hodcarrier-
He fills his hod with brick,
And bears it up the ladder
It's easy to learn the trick. ~
He climbs to the top of the building,
Where all is mortar and muss,
But most of the bricks get looseued
And fall on the rest Ct us.
Let us gather around the table,
While our hearts with envy throb,
And drain FLASK to the easiest task

Wonderful Skiil Shown by Birds.
Their House Building.
1t is only within recent years that
men have learned how to make
houses and other structures OF ce-
ment. This art is probably yet in
a crude stage, and by and by man
kind may learn to use the material
in vastly more skillful and efficient
ways. -.
But many of the lower animals
have for ages been making their
houses of mud or of similar plastic
and hardening substances. The
cliff swallows skillfully built home
is indeed wonderful structure, es-
pecially when we take into consid-
Grafton the simple way in which the
bird does the work. Imagine a boy
or a girl trying to make such a
structure of mud and handling the
material only by the aid of pointed
pliers. Yet the bird does it and
does it well with her pointed bill.
In some cement structures, especial
ly in railroad embankments, you
have probably noticed that the
workmen first put in several iron
rods to increase the strength of the
wall. This is practically what the
phoebe, the robin and other birds
do when they mix a liberal supply
of grasses and other plant fbers,
and even strings, through their con-
cretions Of mud.-From "Nature
and Science" in st. Nicholas.
