the means of sustenance.
OREGON Is BEING LOOTED,

In an age when there is such Il
universal demand for the square
deal' it is surprising that such a un-
fair condition of affairs as is reveal
ed in the following editorial from the
Portland Journal reveals. would be
allowed to go unchanged for so long
time:
Development of the West. by means
of its own resources. that the rapidly
expanding population of the nation
might find new homes and broader
opportunities, prompted enactment
of the reclamation act. 1t was found
that on the 100000 square miles
embraced in the reclamation group of
seventeen states, only few million
people lived. To open this country,
reclaim its waste lands. and yet in
cur no obligation upon the nation at
large, was the moving thought of the
passed the reclamation act. Its es-
sential thought and tone were TO make
these western states self-sustaining in
their development area, and to attain
this end the receipts from sales of
public land in the reclamation group
OF states was devoted to reclamation
work. In thought, spirit and letter. it
was primarily provided that the re-
ceipts from each state should be used
there. where practicable. Oregon will
he credited with having contributed
about 100000 to the fund by the
date of the next annual report, and
has received about S2,5O0.0O0 for re-
clamation work. Oregon will con-
tribute, perhaps s10,000,0O0 more in
the next decade. and under the exist
ing scheme of apportionment, will get
little better than nothing.
I'm inaugurating the conservation
movement, it was contemplated that
each state should have the benefit of
its resources, but that use should be
regulated. preventing waste and In
suring reproduction where possible.
This campaign was calculated to en-
rich the states rather than impoverish
them, conserve and multiply wealth
rather than steal it away. But. under
the present practice, only one-quarter
OF the net proceeds from timber sales
in Oregon is enjoyed by the state, all
the remainder being taken to some
other state to plant new forests where
they have been cut and used. In the
near future the annual sales of timber
on Oregon national reserves will ag-
gregate Several million dollars, pos
sibly ss.OOO,OOO or s7,0OO,oOo. This
money is to be taken out of Oregon,
except a one-quarter division.
"In these two respects, Oregon is
being looted No loot by private in
terests was ever more brazen and de-
termined. No ravage ever made by
land grabber and land speculator was
more threatening against the perma-
nent prosperity Of the state. In these
two respects. Oregon must have rec
ognition. with the privilege of enjoy
ing what was primarily and funda-
mentally contemplated when this de-
velopment and conserving pro-
gramme began"

to see in the constant growth and in

Japan. They profess to see, with
their prophetic vision, a time when.

population of this terrestrial sphere

The Majors Tip.


When Major Banks was the best
known figure around the race tracks
OF Cincinnati and the middle west he
was extremely generous in tipping of,
his friends to "sure winners" One
man who enjoyed his confidence and
played the horses according to the ma
Jor's advice lost all his ready money
and finally succeeded in reducing him
self to the point where he had to sell
out his grocery business.
One afternoon, following the placing
OF his last ten dollar note as the major
advised, he caught Banks by the arm
and said traglcally:
Major, you've made me lose my last
cent. I'm a pauper, and my wife and
famiiy are practically starving. ! am
now about to go down to the river and
drown myself. It's all over for me-"
"All right" answered Banks, "but in
the event you change your mind meet
me here at 3 O'clock tomorrow after
noon. think I'll have something good
Tor you."-Exchange.

REFRIGERATOR CARS.
Evolution Of the Idea Of "an lcebex on
Wheels,v


The refrigerator car was never in.
vented, but just fixed up" 1t was
the idea Of a New England railway
man who needed some such thing as
far back as 1861.
In June of that year the first refrig-
orator car is said to have made its
trip from Ogdensburg, N. Y, to Bos-
ton. The car owed its origin princi-
pally to the fact that the farmers near
Ogdensburg, who made a great deal
Of butter, were unable to ship It ex-
cept in cold weather.
A railroad man named Wilder. at
that time in charge of the through
freight thought it would be good
idea to rig up "an lcebox on wheels"
and he told this to the president of the
road, who gave orders that the mas
ter mechanic should plan several of
them.
At this time farmers were receiving
only II cents pound for their butter.
The iced car was loaded with eight
tons of 1t, sent through and allowed
to stand In Boston till the product was
sold. 1t brought II cents pound
after paying all expenses and COM
missions, and the plan was voted a
success. In short time the road had
regular service on, using a number
Of cars, and the idea spread rapidly:
Wilder did not patent his idea, but
allowed 1t to be used by whoever so
desired.-St. Louis Republic.

Ages, which are now causing q loath-
Ing and reputation on the part of
many of the best and wlsest people in
the world. All will admit that II is
sinful to tamper with the Word of God
to either add to or take from It or to
wrest or twist or pervert its meaning.
Why Is 1t, then, that ministers of the
Gospel, who know that certain pas
sages Of the Scriptures are not to be
found In the older manuscripts, fail to
show to the people the truth on this
subject? And IL these ministers are
not fully Informed. whose fault is that?
Would 1t not be preferable that they
should absent themselves from some
OF the fairs and festivals and social
functions, in order to inform them
selves?
On what pretext are the clergy
a specially privileged class, except
for the purpose of giving their flocks
reliable information along religious
lines? And what Is their commission
from the Lord except that they should
feed the flock of God, which he pur-
chased with the blood of his own dear
Sonp If the flock have been feeding
upon certain Scriptures supposed TO be
genuine, and IL they have been made
sick thereby, and II their shepherds
now know that these Scriptures are not
q part of the Divinely inspired Word.

The ancient Guild OF Spectacle MAX

Zondon companies. Its charter dates
from the year 1920 and, though the ex-
act date of its origin is lost there Is
ample evidence that The calling OF

lowed at very early date. An old
book Of 1868 mentions the spectacle
makers among other traders, and the
biography of Carlo zeno, an lllustr,ous
