THE COWBOY AND
THE DIARYMEN

An enthusiast on Oregon's future,
Mr.. A. Decker, of Portland-and no
one who knows the ABC of Oregon
can fail to be an enthusiast-Says
that climatic conditions have made
that big state one of the best live
stock countries in the world. But
the stock must be fenced and dairy
products are of more value than beef.
He points out that butter can be
sent from Oregon to Liverpool, for
two and half cents a pound-a low
enough rate to leave big profit
and then he sings this swan song
of the cowboy:
THE cowboy and the dairyman are
twin brothers of the west. But they
have now reached the parting of the
road One is looking forward, the
other backward. Both can converse
with a COW in its own language In
drawing their picture, the only back
ground to these men must be cattle.
There are no figures bigger than
those which play the drama of the
COW, and there is no drama which,
even today, comes closer to the
everyday life of each and all of US.
Cotton and cattle are the two pro-
ducts that are Indispensable. The
modern dairyman will some day be
king in Oregon. The real cowboy of
eastern Oregon has turned from the
trail, he is disappointed. All things
that were not intended have come,
and all that were hoped for are gone.
The barbed-wire fence of civilization
has cris-crossed the old cattle trails
and this picturesque figure is a-foot."

1t whether he is suited to her or not.
Here are a few infallible rules for

The man who holds the point to

secrets. Re is the kind OF man who,
when the dearest girl in the world
finds out that there are Others and
asks him who they are and what be
means by calling on them, will assume
an air of excessive dignity.
The man who holds the pencil out
at arms length and whites away at

good-natured and generous.
He who leaves blunt point is dull
and plodding. and will never amount
to much. He is really good natured,
but finds his chief pleasures In the
commonplace things OF life.
He who sharpens his pencil an inch
or more from the point is high strung
and Imaginative and subject to exu-
berant flights of fancy. He will al
ways be seeking to mount upward and
accomplish things In the higher re-
gions of business and art, and his
wife's greatest trouble will be to hold

The man who sharpens his pencil

slow to anger. but he is so undertaking
from a fixed principle that he would
drive woman with a sensitive tenn

away has a streak OF coarseness In his
nature.
He who shaves Off the lead till tho
