Of agriculture.
The speakers who represent the
State and National Departments OF

Everyone who wishes to see great
er prosperity should be present and
should induce his neighbors to at.
tend also, and all should stand to-
gether under the slogan: Plenty
of Hog and Hominy for Home U.s.
and Some to Sell"
Owing to the present condition
of agricultural affairs in this State
. it behooves our farmers to take ad
vantage of every opportunity to in

nifty for hearing the subject of az
riculture in its different phases dis
cussed by men who are thorough
familiar with our needs, and n

Governor Sanders Advises Farmers.
To the Cotton Growers of the
State of louisiana:

To the Cotton Growers of the
State of louisiana:
1t is evident that the cotton
crop of the South will be short
this year, and especially the
Louisiana crop. 1t is also evident
that the people will have to get
a very much higher price for the
cotton that they have made, or
else they will be practically drlv-
ell out of the cotton growing bu-
siness. 1t is also evident that if
the crop is rushed to the market
and sold as fast as glnned, that a
small price will necessarily obtain.
while Il gradual slow marketing of
the crop will secure better prices.
The farmers should, therefore.
sell slowly and just as the mills
need it, selling only when the
price is high and withdrawing
their cotton from sale entirely Oh
all depressions.
If the farmers will adhere strict
ly to this plan of marketing, they
will get the best price obtainable
for their cotton, and it should
be followed by every cotton grow
er of the South.

A painful accident befell Mr..
Hugh Marion, Sunday, which all
were glad to know turned out not
serious. Mr.. Marion, with Mr..
Chas. Seldom and Mr.. Moore, was
riding on a hand-car, when about
mile below town the car became
derailed, precipitating them to
the ground. All got off without
injury except Mr.. Marion, whose
head struck a rail, splitting the
scalp some two inches, rendering
him semi-unconscious for short
while. A physician and carriage
were summoned as quickly as
could be done and his wound
dressed, which is healing very
rapidly.

Still undecided, although rumor
has said that it may be settled during
the present week, the old, old Normal
School question is again before the
Legislature. For years the Normal
Schools have been played as pawns
against one another on the political
chessboard, the issue being made To-
cal, personal, purely political, any
thing in fact, but a straight out and
out question Of the states real welfare
10 that department of its complex
educational system. Meanwhile the
schools themselves were scarcely al
lowed fair opportunity either to de-
mostrate their efficiency, handicapped
as they were by the vain and selfish
wrangling, for the existence and con-
tinuance Of which they were obliged
70 be held as au excuse. Only in re-
cent years, since the adoption Of the
system Of single board Of control,
has the question been really given an
opportunity 10 crystallize into any
thing like a definite form. The fact
that has, 10 a measure, done SO under
the lev regime, may be regarded
"a a good omen for its reasonable and
fual decision in the near future, and
il it indeed be such an omen, il should
be hailed with joy by the people Of
Oregon. The settlement Of this ques-
tion by the present Legislature, IL /,
were made finally aud on the basis Of
the maximum educational efficiency
combined with economy, would be a
great triumph for that body and like
charity IA species Of which it would
indeed be as Tar as the tax payers feel
themselves to be concerned would
cover a multitude Of legislative sins.

BOOSTER MEETING.

H. G. Campbell, secretary Of th
Dallas Development League, announ
ces thai its president. Hon. [. ;
Loughary. has called meeting o
the League 10 be held in the court
house, Saturday night, for the purpos,
OF giving still further impulse to TIT
booster" movement which was beguI
in this city last month.
Saturday nights meeting will no
be strictly a business session Of the
League, however, but will be in the
nature of a e eneral mass meeting al
which every man and woman Of Dal.
las, who has at heart the progress and
welfare Of the city, is invited and
urged to be present and to take an
active part.
Dallas is now only in the beginning
of work which has been prosecuted
with yigor-and with abundant good
results-in nearly all Of her sister
cities in the Willamette Valley. The
achievements Of Eugene, Albany, Cor
Wallis, Salem, and a dozen other cities
can he duplicated-nay, rather sur
passed by our own city, if the people
will be willing to give to the move
ment support as energetic and en-
thusiastic as has been given by the
citizens Of those other towns.
1t doesn't "cut much ice" as the
slang phrase goes, whether we all
agree in every point with the plans
that are being formulated If an
attempt were made to arrange plan
that should be absolutely satisfactory
to everyone, it would prove as knotty
a proposition as one could well lay
out for himself to solve. The question
everyone is now facing, is whether he
will line up with the progressive ele-
ment and boost or fall back as a dead
weight on the movement for the city's
betterment
The Development League relies
upon the loyal and progressive spirit
of each of the citizens Of Dallas to
carry the movement successfully
through, and this being the case, it
looks for full and strong represen-
tation of the citizenship of Dallas at
the mass meeting to be held Saturday
night
