SOCIETY AT MARGET.

New York American: Domestic
science" has many votaries in Wash
ington society this season following
the good example Of Mrs. Taft, VINO
unlike many women of literary and
musical talent, is a good housekeeper
as well. Mrs. Taft has revived the
good old white house custom of visit
ing personally once or twice a week
the attractive market that is as his
toric as the capital itself, and going
about choosing titbits and dainties
for the presidential table.
Her example is being followed and
the market on big days is a regular
rendezvous for society. Many Of the
400 load their automobiles and car
riages with baskets of fruits and vege-
tables and even meat. Among them
are Mrs. Sherman, wife of the vice
president; Mrs Robert Roosevelt,
Mrs. Francis Berger Moran and Mrs.
A. c. Barney.
The bellies and debutantes have or
ganized a domestic science club
Twice a week they make cakes, des-
serts, salads and entrees. The club
members plan to give luncheon
some time this winter. They will in
vite their skeptical friends to a meal
prepared entirely by society cooks.

REFORMS DEMANDED.

In discussing the question of saloon
regulation under the home rule sys-
tenn the oregon Journal said:
The more reforms the Home Rule
people inaugurate. the wiser they will
be. They can err more easily on the
side of laxity than in thoroughness.
They made promises in the campaign,
and are on trial as to those promises
now.
Many of those who voted for the
Home Rule bill did so on the assur-
ance that there was to be a change,
and that it was to be a change
wrought by Home Rule people. The
point has been reached when the
conditions of the past will not be toll
Grated. The low dive with its evas-
ions and violations of laws has had
its day. The mining camp standards
in the saloon business have passed.

rendezous for road agents, footpads
and other enemies of society. The
standard that has long been maintain
ed by the respectable dealers is the
standard that must be adopted by all.
Even with the reforms. the busi-
ness is under constant menace. The
great social mass is constantly purg-
ing itself of follies and futility. A
is taking place in which
accounts are being cast up and bal

HAS DIAZ WON?

Though the revolution in Mexico
started out with some show of strength
it appears that President Diaz has al
ready beaten the insurrectionists in
most parts of the republic. 1t seems
now that we may look for a complete
victory for the federalists though of
course time may prove that the au-
thorized stories sent out to the effect
that the rebellion has been crushed
are not justified by the facts. They
may be intended mainly to throw wa
ter upon revolutionary sympathizers in
this country-many of which sympa-
thizers are now rushing to the border
in hopes of getting into the melee.

MIR. BARRETTS ADVICE.

c. S. Barrett national president of
the farmers union, would like to see
the wheat section of eastern Oregon
Inhabited. While here yesterday he
urged the advantages of country life
and gave good and timely suggestions
regarding more intensified farming in
this country.
Certainly if the wealthy wheat men
of this county cared to do so they
could make the country ranches very
habitable. If they would build good
houses and improve their surround
irgs with a view to making life pleas
and and comfortable their families
would feel more like staying upon
the farm.
However the rural sections of this
county will never become peopled 50
long as farmers follow the fallacy of
raising nothing but wheat. Wheat
supervision and many find it convent
ent to live in town and stay upon their
ranches only during the working sea-
sons. The auto and the telephone lend
much assistance to the men who do
chis.
If Umatilla county is to become re-
ally settled the land owners must
nrst follow President Barrett's advice
to go more and more into intensified
farming. True this is advice that has
been given them many, many times
IN the past and they have not follow
ed it to any extent. Yet there are in
dications now that the day for a
change is drawing near.
When owners of big wheat farms
try to sell their places and retire they
ind that they cannot dispose Of their
holdings at terms they desire. Pros
pective investors cannot pay the pric-
es asked for and make money out Of
wheat raising. Careful men have fig
ured that it would be better for in
vstors to spend their money for
government bonds than for some of
the great wheat ranches of this coun-
ty.
Will not this situation bring about
a breaking up of the great ranches?
The men who own the great ranches
cznnot sell them intact for prices they
desire. But If they will dig wells at
various points upon their ranches
and subdivide their places they may
sell out on good terms. 1t is shown
By experience that men owning great
tracts may make good money from
they would have trouble selling 1t al
q whole. It is also a proven fact that
q small land purchaser may safely
BY more In proportion than can a
large purchaser. This because the
personal element is very important
factor upon the farm.
The subject Of agricultural meth
DDS is a vital one in eastern Oregon.
or late years development in some
sections has been completely retard-
"a by the tendency toward bonanza
farming. There can be little progress
In the country or in the towns of this
section until this tendency runs its
course and the next evolutionary step
- taken. May President Barrett's ad-
vice hasten this day.
