A CONTRAST.

There has been a shrinkage, they
say. OF three billion in Wall street
securities, says the Oregon Daily Jour
nal. Still butter is butter ana milk
IL milk in Portland. Potatoes taste
of silver and eggs cost enough to be
worn for shirt studs. Copper stocks
have bumped Wall street bedrock,
but Oregon Spitzenbergs are balloon
ing and an uncut Oregon fir tree is
worth $50.
In Wall street, Standard Oil has
been squeezed of its water until it
is shrunken like a punctured auto
tire, but in Oregon still wheat is life,
fat cattle are on a thousand hills, soil
is as good as gold and the precious
metals are pouring in perpetual flow
out of inexhaustible mines.
In Wall street Hartman stocks are
faint and gasping, but in Oregon Har-
rlman railroads are buried beneath
a load of congested traffic and a flood
OF products from Oregon fields, or
chards and forests, for the movement
of which to market they struggle in
vain.
In Wall street the ticker tells off
the mournful tale of sinking securi-
ties, debauched banks. lost deposits
and business bewilderment. In Ore
gon the flowers are iblooming, the
birds are caroling, the farmer boy
whistles his roundelay, and hay is $40
a ton.
In Wall street three billions of Moth
ing shrunk back into nothing, three
billions of bluff called and three bill
lions of money lost by gamblers in
In oregon, millions rolling
In for wheat, millions for lumber, mil
lions fo~ salmon, millions for apples,
millions Tor prunes. millions for dairy
products and millions from scores of
other sources

FANCY PRICES FOR APPLES.

Buying apples by the dozen, 81 or
more for IL of them, is a common
place today. Twenty years ago it was
proceeding seldom heard Of, and
even 10 years ago it was considered
a transaction in finance so high that
only those who found their necessities
among the luxuries thought of being
a purchaser at such terms, says the
Boston Transcript. And it is not one
kind alone that has this price put up
on it, There are many-seven, or
possibly more-that bring this figure
which is no longer considered fancy
and the supply of them creating Fl
demand, there are plenty of buyers
to take them home The case invites
speculation as to whether an orchard
for these apples of gold alone is not
better paying proposition after all
than a hen farm.

PUBLICITY FOR EUGENE.

In a circular letter from the Port
land Commercial club, issued this
week, it is announced that Eugene
has employed John H. Hartog, of CAL
ifornia, to be publicity agent for that
town at salary of $4,000 per year.
The East Oregonian does not be-
lleve that Eugene is able to pay $4,000
per year for a publicity agent and
this part of the announcement is per-
haps a gentle boost for the salaries
of agents, but otherwise, this item is
important to other oregon towns.
If it will pay Eugene to hire pub
licity agent even at $4,000 per year,
which is perhaps nearer the actual
salary to be paid, it will certainly pay
other towns with as good and better
surroundings than Eugene.
Advertising a town and community
is just like advertising a personal
business except that it is much larg-
er job and must be handled by an ex-
pert Thousands of people are now
ready to come west and will come to
that locality which advertises the best
opportunities It is certain they will
not come to some locality which is
not advertised at all.
Umatilla county can offer home
seekers perhaps the best opportunity
today of any county in the west, on
account of the large expenditure of
government money in reclaiming the
Umatilla irrigation project to say
nothing of the large sums now in
vested in private enterprises having
a merit equal in every way to the gov
eminent project.
II the homeseekers of the east were
made to know the actual offering
made to them by Umatilla county, the
population of this county would be
doubled within a very few years.
But we must reach the homeseek-
ers in the east, before they start
west. We must make them know, by
indisputable evidence, what is here
for them. And this must all be done
through judicial and efficient adver-
tislng We cannot sit still and hope
to have homeseekers search for US
with a microscope

HELP WRITE HISTORY.

Every man or woman who writes
an authentic pioneer sketch of set
tiers, explorers, Indian fighters sol
disrs or adventurers is contributing an
invaluable addition to the history Of
the northwest.
Soon the actual pioneers, the peo-
pie who settled the west and redeem
ed it from savagely will have passed
away, and their story will then be
lost. It is the duty Of every lover Of
the west to collect the pioneer stories
from the living men and women who
made this country what 1t is.
There is a lack of authentic details
in western history. Writers have dealt
with the romantic phases. but actual
history is needed and while the real
pioneers are alive, this actual history
should be collected.
New England teens with historical
details, personal "reminiscences, in
tensely fascinating matter which will
be repeated with zeal and pleasure
for centuries by her descendants.
The west furnishes a source Of rich
historical data and is a most inviting
field for the actual writer Of history.

CHICKENS AT 5000 EACH.

Five Jackson county, Missouri.
chickens sold last week for $500
each. They were raised by Ernest
Kellerstrass on his chicken ranch at
Eighty-fifth and Holmes Streets

Walter C. Weldon of the Hololulu'
Hawaii. Chamber of Commerce. The
chickens are Crystal White Orping-
tons which, Mr.. Kellerstass says, lay
an average of 40 per cent more eggs
than any other variety of chicken.
But 5000 chickens are common on
Mr.. Kellerstrass's ranch. There's
Crystal King" valued at $4,000. a
first prize winner at Crystal palace,
London, in 1906. and Madison

known farmers of the Juniper coun-
try died at st Mary's hospital this
morning about s o'clock, says the
Walla Walla Statesman. Deceased

came to this country where he has
been engaged in various undertake

this country and has lived in the

MRS. HUBBARD's VIEW.

Following are some OF Mrs. Elbert
Hubbard's opinions regarding wo-
man and her work, as expressed dur
ing a lecture at Spokane recently:
1T was once believed that ignor-
ance on all subjects outside of four
house walls was the best attribute Of
wife Now the world is coming to
realize that the best wives and moth
ers are those whose minds are broad
ened by education.
Women are a part of the human
race You may assign them an in
ferior position, but they won't stay
put-they must develop with the rest
of humanity.
There used to be but two things
for a woman to do. one OF these was
to become an old maid, living, per-
haps precariously with some rich
relative and being Of no use to any
one, and the other way was to settle
down in marriage to some man whom
she had sworn to honor and obey.
Now a girl may enter any profession
or take up any line of work
"Women have never had much of
a title TO houses on earth, so they
have done more than their share OF
singing about mansions in the skies.
And this building of heavenly man
sidns does not add to a persons gray
matter. or develop any new convolu-
tlons in the brain; air castles are built
of poor steel on which to whet inge-
nuity.
"Any woman cared for and sup
ported by any one is as much depen-
dent as is the toothless old man who
sits all day long on the sunny side
of the house.
MANY young women look upon
marriage as they do upon heaven-
as the ultimatum. the end of the
road.
MANY women have no more notion
OF the value of a dollar than has
5-year-old child. They have always
been protected from the business side
of life, the necessity of making both
ends meet, and so there comes the
still hunt in trousers pockets, unwar-
ranted bills, discovery tears and hui
initiation.
"The right Of franchise should not
be granted to one human being and
denied to another just because Moses
made laws to that effect for bar
barian people 5000 years ago.
ITO struggle hopefully on is better
than to arrive. and the true success
is labor"
Mrs. Hubbard's lecture covered
about an hour, and was heard with
the utmost attentiveness by the wo-
men present. Mrs. Hubbard speaks
earnestly, but without oratorical eff
feet, and creates an interest that holds
to the end of the lecture.

DO YOU WANT MISSOURI LAND?

According to a report prepared by
the officials of the land office at
Springfield, Mo-, there are now 29,-
$50 acres of government land in Mis-
souri, subject either to cash or home
stead entry. This is hardly more
than a third Of the amount Of the
government land in the state a few
months ago. Several cash entries of
made in the last five months. All
the land that is left Is in small tracts
scattered over the various counties
in which It is located.

FOR ONE EAR OF CORN $3.50

Two hundred and fifty dollars was
the worlds record price, October II,
for a single ear of corn. A bushel at
that rate would have sold for $15,-
900. The ear, a Boone County
White" was sold to the highest bid
der in an exciting auction at the
National Corn exposition in the Col
slseum, Chicago.
The purchaser was the man who
grew it, L. B. Clore, a farmer from
Franklin, Ind, who captured 1885
in prizes at the show.

Charles Algernon Sartoris has
been appointed secretary of the lega-
tion at Montevidio. This legation in
cludes the republics Of Uruguay and
Paraguay. He is the first man to
hold that position. It has become, by
reason Of Secretary Roots diplomacy
in South American lands, one Of con-
siderable Importance, although the
stated salary is only about $4,000 AS
a grandson Of General U. S. Grant he
is expected to lend importance to the
position.

Everyone knows what an explosion
IS; but its opposite, an implosion, is
less familiar. At great depths in the
sea conditions are favorable for its
production. At $500 fathoms the
pressure is. roughly speaking, two
and half tons to the square inch,
;hat is to say several times greater
than that exerted by the steam on the
riston of a powerful engine.

Magazines pay high prices for this ma
terial and 1t can be made profitable
as well as entertaining to write his
tory in the northwest.

A BIG BUSINESS ON

Albuquerque = Ell PaSo Line Is

Strike on West End is HPop-
py-Cock"

Six freight crews running between
here and Gallup, the first district of
the Albuquerque division. have been
laid off since August list, upon in
structions received by f.. j.. Gibson Of
the Albuquerque division, from the
headquarters of the coast lines at Los
Angeles.
On account of the discharge of the
six crews, a rumor was started anon 2
the local trainmen yesterday that a
strike would result.
E. *. Etter, superintendent of the
Rio Grande division, arrived here yes
terday afternoon from San Marcial
and when asked about the report, he
said:
The strike talk Is poppycock. The
six crews were not let out because Of
any trouble, but because II IL the poll
icy of the coast line management 10
reduce its train crews each year about
this time. The reason given for the
move is a lull in business.
while the coast lines are not ham
ding their usual quota of business,
the volume of traffic from here to Ell
Paso and Deming is remarkably larg =.
-Four large extra train crews ave
been added to my division during the
last few weeks. and still we cannot
handle the stuff readily.
IN point of mileage, the RIO
Grande division is taking care of n
handling more merchandise and other
freight stuff today tina any other d.
vision on the entire system"

roads and naturally We are putting
forth our best efforts to keep up with
the enormous increase in the freight
movement to the west. Until that is
well in hand we will be unable to get
around to the matter of giving FL
Paso a better train service.
1T is the policy of the Santa Fe to
give the very best passenger service
available, and this policy has been
carried out on all but the Rio Grande
division. We realize that as much as
the people of Eel Paso, and we intend
to remedy it at the earliest possible
moment. Our attention has been Ii
rected TO the coast division and to
the eastern division out of Chicago in
order to compete with other transcon-
tinental lines. but now that we have
our system perfected, we expect to
give this division the attention that
the business warrants"
