COAST FARMERS
HOLDING GRAIN
Oat Crop in Washington, Oregon and Idaho
More Than Five Times Greater Than
That of 1909, and Farmers
are Holding for
Prices.

A press special of the 9th ult. from
Seattle, WASH, says: One million five
hundred and sixteen thousand bushels
of oats were in the hands of farmers in
Washington. Oregon and Idaho in Au.
gust, compared with but 300, 600 bushels
year ago.
Farmers in this state who are holding
their grain for better prices will soon
have their farm residences surrounded
by enough buildings to resemble small
village.
A large percentage of last years
wheat crop is still in the farmers hands
and with the great amount of oats of
last years harvest and a good sized
crop of both oats and wheat this sum-
mer, every available granary space is
being utilized.
:: 1t ls said that at no time in the past
have farmers in the Northwest been SO
prosperous. for even with the good prices
prevailing at present the grain growers
are in no need to sell. They all have
good bank accounts and plenty of food
growing in the fields.
Automobile men report better times
than ever before and practically every
farmer of means is purchasing fine
machine for his family. Other luxuries,
like pianos, talking machines, electric
light plants, water heaters and other
modern conveniences are rapidly going
into the residences of Northwest farm
ers.

The Horse In America.

Where did the horse In America orig

dams possess horses previous to tho
discovery of America? By what race

introduced in America?

but undoubtedly some of them became
progcnitors of the American wild
horse; and similarly the horses aban-
doned by the unfortunate F'erdnaul
De Soto near the Texas border became
the progenItors OF all the wild horses
OF North America.
The earliest coonists OF Virginia
were no. remarkable for the qualities
that make the ideal pioneer, so that IL
is not surprising to learn that their
first supply OF domestic animals In
Guiding horses, was consumed as food.

between 200 and 300 horses Of both

law, but in 1861 the restriction was
removed The horses OF the period are

The relations between the Emperor

brought about the unfortunate war with
Japan, that the grand duke has lived
almost entirely abroad for several
years past, and the close intimacy
which existed between him and the

that its property was purchased for

Morton Marye from the place IN the
Capitol which he had held for twenty
seven years, the Commonwealth of
Virginia lost an incorruptible public
servant, citizen who had offered his
life for his state, and who wore an

HENRY wATTERsoN's HUMAN
vnIfEJ

Henry Watterson is writing for the
sions" of Washington, or about things
he has heard and seen during his pres
ent soiourn there. We wish he were
member of Congress, so that he could
carry out his good intentions. Among
other things that have happened TO
him lately is q closer acquaintance
with the President, who is reported
by him to have said. to a Democratic
friend who mentioned the tariff stu
alton: II have my days of sorrow now
you are coming to yours. That was
u fine sentiment, just as If he had
said, one touch OF nature makes the
whole world kim" or something like
that; but it was very good as the
President saidtit, and we are glad that
"Marse Henry" remembered 1t, because
it proved to him what we have been
big man in tho White House, none
know him but to love him: none name
him hut to praise
Mr.. Watterson will recognize the
paraphrase as not taken from his
hymn-book, but from Hal1ecl5's touch
ing tribute to Joseph Rodman Drake
The point, however is that there is
nothing after all like the personal
touch to make men understand one
another better. This does not mean
