THE WONDERFUL RESOURCES OF
 OREGON.

Commercially. the biggest things in Oregon, the things which built up its wealth are salmon. fruit and lumber. Formerly it was wheat, in place of fruit. but wheat growing shows de- crease, as it does in California. and for the same reason: the wheat land. given up to fruit or hops, will yield twenty times as much money. In sal mon there has been a retrogression of late, but simply because the foolish Columbia river fishermen killed the fish which laid the golden eggs. As soon as the law is enforced the sal man will again be as plentiful fin the Columbia as they were last summer in the neighboring state of Washing ton, where all records were broken, thousands of tons escaping the cans because the fishermen. working twen- ty-four hours a day. could not trap or net them. In good year likesthat the salmon catch is worth seven million dollars to Washington.
 What their trees are worth to these two states is almost incredible; the figures give one a dizzy feeling. To Oregon alone it's timber interests are worth sixty million dollars a year There are now standing in this state three hundred billion feet of merchant able timber which, at the present rate of cutting would last one hundred and twenty years. According to the state board of forestry. the commercial val ue of Oregon's standing timber is three billion six hundred million dollars. sum in excess of the total amount of money in currency in the United States at present. Great progress has been made in recent years in eliminating wasteful methods of numbering and in fighting forest fires; in 1908 there were one hundred and eighty fire war dens in the state, and there was a noticeable decrease in the number of great fires.
 The inhabitants of the Emerald state are at last beginning to realize the value of their trees. This implies a great change-an aspect of Oregon

SATANIC STREAK IN POE.

The proud and sinister features of Edgar Allan Poe may well remind the imaginative beholder of Milton's Lu- cifer. His chief sin. like Lucifers. was intellectual pride; his one obses- sion the beauty of corruption, says Current Literature. Like the Lucifer in Marie Corellis Sorrows of Satan" he held a peculiar fascination for wo- men. Professor WoOdberry. in his Life of Poe" dwells upon the mag ical" character of the poets voice. He appealed to sentimental women by his figure. his history and his actions, and to kind-hearted women by his suffering. Mrs. Sarah Helen Whit man. one of the poets loves. in d poem unearthed by Eugene l.. Dldier. describes his portrait in words that suggest the prince of darkness as Hauff and Hoffman have visioned him.
 Mrs. Whitman's plaint for the de- parted poet thrillingly suggests Coler- idge's maiden wailing for her de- mon lover" Poe himself believed in demons He was afraid of going out in the dark for fear of invisible and malevolent presence. Like Swine burne's heroes. marked cross from the womb and perverse." his life was one long reiteration of failure. He was thwarted in everything he at tempted Whenever he scared heav- onward he fell. An ineXplicable gloom oppressed his life like q nightmare. Tn the olden days people would have said that he was possessed by the devil And it is more than coinci- dence that the archpriest of literary diabolism, Charles Bauclaire, author of The Flowers of Evil" was his first disciple and prophet in Eu- rope.

of so-cailed dry farming in the far west, took up a homestead in Da- kota territory in 1883. all he pos sessed besides his family was few farming implements. a blow, wagon. etc, a lame mule and long-horned OK. says the Chicago Record-Herald- The OK and mule yoked together broke the sod and put in the crop of wheat. The rains came. the water fell on the loose sandy soil, sank into the ground. and ran off just as last as it fell.
 Campbell had been d machine shop foreman in Vermont. and had no one to whom he could write for assistance. He was desperate and was preparing to leave the country. going anywhere. But he walked out to look once more at his burned field and noticed small punches of good wheat. He exam ined carefully and found that these punches were growing in the tracks of the old mule. For days he asked himself the question: What did it? And finally the answer came to him: Tt was the packing of the earth by the weight of the old mule.'
 The next year when he sOwed his wheat he rolled it for days and days with a home made roller. When the wheat sprouted every kernel came up Then came the long hot days and the neighbors' wheat dried up and burned. But Campbelfs didn't. That was the start Today Campbell owns and operates 1000 acres in North Dakota. 640 acres in Midland county. Texas: 320 acres near Plain view, Texas: 32O acres at Holdredge.

100 YEARS OF PEACE.

Boston, Nov. 25.-The American
Peace Society gave to the press today
collection of suggestions received by
it from publicists and educators in the
United States, Great Britain and Can
ada in regard to the methods of cele-
brating the anniversary of the 100
years Of peace since the War of 1872
John w. Foster. formerly secretary
of state, and Prof. John BaSSett Moore
of Columbia University, propose that
the celebration be consummated by a
treaty Of unlimited arbitration between
the United States and Great britain
Sir Edward Fry, chairman Of the
British delega ton to the second Hague
conference recommends that the prec-
ednet of disarmament on the Great
Lakes should be extended as well as
cOmmemOrated.
Lord Courtney of Penwith, president
of the International Peace Congress at
London in 1868, advises that the his
toric agreement for disarmament on
the Lakes be followed by the removal
of customs houses along the American
Canadian border to reduce the cost OF
living and do away with the last pre-

means of promoting a better under
standing among themselves.

WOOD cRlTlcizEs ARMY.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Major General
Wood, chief CT staff, paints a rather
gloomy picture OF the lack of prepar-
cdnesS of the army in case war, in
his annual report to the secretary of
war.
There are weak spots in many direc-
tions, he says, the most serious being
the shortage Of field artillery and am
mediately corrected. Gen. Wood de-
clareS there is a great lack of reserve
sea coast ammunition and at the
presentrate of appropriation by Con-
gresS it will take more than SO years
to obtain a reasonable supply of am
munition for the coast defence, and
still longer time to obtain the nee
essary number of field artillery, guns
and ammunition.
If the regular army and organized
militia at war strength, were called
to arms today, says Gen. Wood, there
would he a shortage of more than so
per cent. in the field artillery to equip
them AS this force would represent
only a portion of the force called to
arms in case of war with a first class
power the gravity of the situation be-
comes apparent at once.
Gen Wood strongly urges the pas
sage by Congress of the pending bill
for raising volunteer army in time
of war. He says this will cost moth
ing in time of peace and will save
the government millions dollars in
time of war; The present law is so
unsatisfactory and vague that the
general staff cannot make prepara-
TONS in advance for its execution in
event of war.
Other needs of the military ser
vice are set out in the report, in
Guiding the adoption of 6lO ofhcers TO

GRANGE RESOLUTIONS.
Many Reforms Urged BY National
Body-lnsurgents Defeated.

Atlantic City, n. j., Nov. 25.-Reso-
buttons for drastic regulation OF all IN
railroads in the country and for giving
the Interstate Commerce Commission
power to nullify freight and passengers
rates proved to be eXtortionate We're
adopted today by the National Grange
Radical changes in the Payne-Aldr
tariff bill and physical valuation of
railway trunk lines We're also urged
by the farmers.
Federal aid for road improvement
the parcels post, conservation of ma :
tural resources, a national income tax
direct election of United States sena
tors, agricultural extension and a none
partisan tariff commission We're includ-
ed in the report of the resolutions com
mittee which became the progressive
platform of the agriculturists. The
speedy construction of ship canal
connecting the Mississippi river with
the Great Lakes and the Atlantic ocean
and canal lines and the dredging of all
great arteries of commerce to cheaper
marketing Of produce were also de
clared for in the report.
The report reaffirmed the action of
the Grange at Des Moines last year. in
asking for federal aid to promote the
sale of farm products in foreign lands.
A centralized United States bank and
ship subsidies were opposed, as was
the federal bureau of public health
The proposal of the "Insurgent
members to expend 100000 of the $11S,-
600 surplus in Grange extension during
1911, was defeated but plans for an
energetic campaign were adopted.
Resolutions by the committee on uni
versal peace proposed by State Master
Greasy of Pennsylvania were defeated
along with the move for proportionate
representation of state membership.
State executive committees demand
OF Grange funds during 1910 were re-
ferred to the Grange records.
Further proceedings against H. l..
Loucks of South Dakota, author of a
pamphlet entitled Machine Rule in the
National Grange, Betrayal of the Or
ganization by its National Officers"
were stopped today by leaders in the
National Grange which is in annual
convention here. Loucks fought the
leaders for 10 hours yesterday and to-
day they excused him because thev
had evidently been deceived by the al
legations of Mr.. Hampton of New
York" The remainder of the morning
was taken up with reports from state
