oREd0N's OPPORTUNITY.

Under the above captoin the
August number of School anC
Home has the following:
One cannot travel about the
state at this time without being
impressed with the rapid devel.
opment noticeable on every hand.
Each arriving train brings from
the Mississippi valley and the
far east, home builders who are
coming here to stay. The great
resources of the state, its prox-
unity to the Pacific ocean with
its untold commercial opportuni-
ty, and the equable climate of
the coast section all appeal to
thinking people and thousands
are coming here to make their
permanent homes. The spirit
of progress denominates allplans
for present and future develop
ment. Transportation facilities
only are needed to start a yet
more rapid wave of advance
ment.
What is the character of this
new citizenship? 1t is of the
very best. Men of great energy
and business resource: women
cultured and refined these are
our new citizens. Not from one
state, but from every state in
the Union, they are coming.
bringing their ideas of what
should constitute a states best
endeavor. Their various and
valuable ideas modified by con-
tact with those who have helped
TO shape the states development
in former years should and will
erystalize into 4 very high state
of civilization. Here traditions
that have fingered in ones ma |
tive state may be left behind and /
only the best ideas from each I
find room; here, too, our institu-
tions, like our architecture, lmay
be modelled after the best and /
latest patterns.
In this rapid development all
should share and all should help.

evening by fire. II was one of
the best farm homes in the coun-
ty and nicely furnished. The
loss is about S2500 and he carried
no insurance.
DR.. Brown and Peter Petersen
who arrived from that vicinity
Thursday evening witnessed the
fire, or arrived at the scene be-
fore the building fell but too late
to save anything. DR.. Brown
said the fire caught from the
kitchen, but just how it was not
known. as Mrs. Howe was oul
doors and the men were out in
the fields at work. The fire
started between 3 and 4 o'clock
in the afternoon and the walls
fell within 10 minutes after the
fire was discovered. Mrs. Howe
had removed her shoes and didn't
even get them out of the house.
Besides the residence and all the
a well house in which
Thos. Cleveland had a lot of
goods stored was burned with /
he picket fence enclosing the
house, some hay. etc. The barn
vas on the windy side and to-
yether with grain field was
saved.
The place had been bought
asst spring by Thos. Cleveland
md the loss will likewise be
everc on him as he has worked
lard to accumulate sufficient
'unds to purchase this fine farm.

hibition issue to a vote Of the peo-
pie gave the Republicans their OPP
portunity. Heretofore the Texas Re-
publican party could almost be count
ed on the fingers and toes of any
normal human being. The Demo-
cratic spirit over Senator Bailey's re-
tention in the senate created many
Republican voters overnight. Now
that the Republican party has gone
on record as opposed to prohibition,
and has nominated Colonel John W.
Simpson, of Dallas, Confederate
veteran as it's candidate for governor
the organization has assumed respect
able proportions. All the "wets" of
the state have flocked to the Repub-
lican standard, as a haven of refuge
from the dry" regime of the DEM
ocracy.
The Democrats believe they have
a trump card, however, in their plat
form Endorsement of guaranty of
bank deposits law, such as has been
successfully tried out in Oklahoma.
The Republican state platform OPP
poses this measure, which is highly
popular among the rank and file of
Texans.
Any doubt as to the success of the
Democratic party in the state cleo
ton does not extend to the national
ticket. While there is some enthu
siasm for Taft in the larger cities
especially among business men, it is
likely that Bryan's majority will be
fully as large as in former years

Dallas, Tex, September 9.-Sweep-
ing into the homestretch under whip
and spur, the Democratic donkey and
the Republican elephant are contest
ing for the victory in the greatest po-
litical race that Texas has witnessed
in years. For the first time the ele-
plant sees a chance of victory and is
making the race of his life. Handi-
capped by a prohibition plank and
confused by the discord of his train
ers, the donkey is finding the track a
heavy one. If he wins, it will not
be in walk, as in former years.
For the first time, the long-eared
animal is confronted with the ne
cessity of running a real race.

There is no doubt that the extended
stay of the Republican candidate at
Hot Springs and his address to tho
voters of Virginia has added to his
popularity, and the Republican poll
ticians, long HOPELESS of a Republican
victory, are beginning to get busy.
Virginia for Taft" is their battlecry
and they have gained many follow
ers.
Democrats scout the possibility of a
Taft majority and declare that Bryan
will get a larger vote in the Old Do
minion than in either of his previous
campaigns. By request of the Demo
cratic state committee, Bryan and
Kern clubs are being organized all
over the state and by September Is
nearly every town and city will have
such a body. Every effort will be
made by leaders of both parties to
keep the enthusiasm of the voters at

Toledo, O., September S.-After
three days of fun and frolic, the old
boys" who comprise the official dele
gates to the forty-second annual en-
campment of the Grand Army of the
Republic today settled down to bust
ness. The opening business session
was called to order in the Valentine
Theatre at 10 o'clock this morning,

siding. 1t is likely that there will be
hot but good-natured fight over the
selection of a successor to Burton as
the head of hte national organiza-

Among the matters up for consid-
Grafton are several amendments to
the rules and regulations of the army,
presented by the various department
encampments. The Ohio department
suggests permanent investment
fund, to be under the control of a
board of trustees elected for that
purpose, and which would bring
about an important change in the
financial conduct of the Grand Army.
