The Gold and Silver of Windsor
Castle" Whenever a royal banquet
at Windsor or Buckingham palace is
described in the newspapers the writ.

adorned with the famous gold plate. !"
In point of fact, there are only three
pieces of gold plate in the Windsor
collection, two of them q small salyer

WILLIAMS INSISTS ON

Washington, Feb. 20.-Ralph e.
Williams, of Dallas, Or, National Re-
publican committeeman, after two
weeks in New York, has returned to
Washington and today held a long
conference with President Taft re-
garding the enforcement of Repre-
sentative Hawley's Slletz settlers bill,
which is being virtually nullified by
the Interior Department, as the de-
partment refuses to issue patents
Hereunder Mr.. Williams urged the
President to intervene on behalf of
the settlers and require rulings in
conformity with the law.
If there has been no favorable rul-
ing by the Interior Department on
the Siletz cases by that time, Mr..
Williams will return to Washington
and remain until the Department ac-
tually accepts and enforces the terms
of the Hawley law.
In the course of their stay in New

heads against the stone wall why,
it's no affair of his.
The Observer does not belive that
Roosevelt will become an avowed
candidate nor does it believe, even,
that he will accept the nomination if
rendered him by the Chicago conven-
ton. Such a course would be utter
ly at variance with all former char
acteristics of the man. Heretofore the
public has never been at loss to know
where the former president stood
upon all questions, especially those
affecting his own personal ideas or
ambitions. He has generally spoken
out in meeting" and his silence in
the present instance is, we believe, in
line with the thought. that has al
ready made his position regarding a
third term for himself sufficiently
plain.
'If it proves that Senator LaFol-
lette is out of the race for president,
We shall favor the nomination of
President Taft as against the candi-
dacy of Theodore Roosevelt" declares
the LaFollette newspaper and we
believe that that sentiment sounds
the keynote among the great major
ity of the Wisconsin mans support
ers throughout the nation.

Oregon needs more farmers. 1t
needs more men from the Eastern
and Middle Western states to come
and make homes for themselves on
20, or even 10-acre tract which,
in portions of the great Willamette
valley, is sufficient upon which to
make a good living and even to lay
of several hundred acres should be
sub-divided and sold in small tracts
to the hundreds of homeseekers who
are looking toward the West as op-
portunity for relief from undesirable
climatic conditions and high land val
ues. If the holders of the large
farms of the Willamette valley, util-
lied for years only for the growing
of grain crops, would consent to their
sale in small tracts, and at reasona-
BILE prices, they would, in a short
time, establish their financial inde-
pendence and, at the same time, con-
tribute greatly to the growth, the
wealth and land values of every acre
cessfully cultivated in the William
cite valley has been conclusively
proven and it is no longer an expert
ment. And when this is possible,
when farms may be converted into
fruitful orchards, the land becomes
too valuable to be longer used for
grain acreage simply because more
liberal returns may be secured by
fruit cultivation, hence the desirable
ity OF orchardizing becomes at once
apparent. II every commercial or
ganization in the valley would inau-
gurate a campaign looking to the
sale of the large farms in small
tracts, they would not only prove of |
assistance in promoting the
prosperity of the present owners,
but they would also contribute great
ly to the growth and wealth of the
Western portion of the state.
