''The oregonian's arraignment Of

''The OIegonian's arraignment of
Statement No. l is apparently based
upon tine assumption that all men are
liars" is the assertion made by the
Blue Mountain Eagle. Canyon City
paper. Continuing it says that the
Oregonian assumes, that men can
pursue any conduct, consistent with
integrity, so long as it does not conflict
with expediency or their own advan-
tage. 1t would argue that the admin
istration of the government under the
republican party depends upon the
memters of the legislature repudiating
their pledges. Like moral pervert,
it reasons for the justification of moral
crime. This Holy Political Roller is
enlisted to the sanctimonious post of
presiding elder of Roosevelt's Annanias
club, for inasmuch as it admonishes
men to break their word and pledge,
it is q logical deduction that they can
have no regard for their own veracity.
A liar is contemplate but man who
procures and induces others to lie is
moral pervert, and he lacks entirely
that moral nature that differentiates
man from brute creation. AS a matter
of fact, Statement No. is not politi.
cal question at all. Where applied it
is simply question of man Is integ-
rity. If man is liar, he will go
tacko his pledge as the Oregonian
advises, and if on the other hand he
meant what he said, when he made
free and voluntary pledge. he will
keep his word in spite of the Ore
eonian.'

The Oregon Agricultural College
wishes to secure definite information
as to poultry keeping on the farm,
the methods followed and results Sc
cured. With this object in view let
ters are being sent to farmers so as to
get their observations on this branch
of agriculture, and summary of facts
secured in this manner will be pub
lished in bulletin form. The prices
of poultry products are such as to
warrant greater attention icing given
to this branch of farming. Even with
the attention that is now given to
poultry keeping, the industry is an i'm
portant one. From the best informa-
tion available, the poultry and eggs
produced in this state in 1908 reached a
total of about $5,O00.O0O. In spite of
this thousands of dollars are sent out
of this state every year for poultry and
eggs, and If this money could be kept
among our own farmers it would add
much to the material prosperity of our
communities. Requests have heen
made the College to establish a home
reading course in poultry culture and
if a sufficient number signify their de-
sire for such course. it will be given.

That our American Forests abound in

hy scores of the most eminent medical
writer's and teachers. Even the untu-
tored Indians had discovered the useful.
ness of many native plants before the
advent of tho white race. This informa-
tlon, impaired freely to the whites, led
the latter to continue Investigations until
to-day we have q rich assortment of most
