There are more tnan iVO VaIiVouS
OF eggs shipped annually Y carloads
daily over the Rocky mountains in
to Portland, Seattle and Vancouver
B. c., from the eastern states, all OF
which could be produced in the
Rogue River valley and shipped TO
such points at a cheaper freight rate
than It is now costing to import
them. for which the poultrymen and
farmers of this locality could be re-
celying the approximate of $5'5OO'-
600 that we are paying to eastern
poultrymen and farmers.
A bill in reference to the selling
OF cold storage eggs in the United
States, which passed in congress a
few days ago, and which will become
law April Is, will give us a Won
derful advantage along these lines
II will enable us to ship our fresh,
sterile eggs into the California mar
ket during the heat Of the summer,
while the Petaluma hens are on their
summer vacation; and also give us
an opportunity to ship north during
the winter and get the high winter
prices, while the, hens In that To-
callty are not on a vacation, but be-
ing housed to keep them from freez-
ing. Again our nappy medium eli
mate smiles on our district. Our
climate is so congenial to our poultry
that our hens lay 365 days in the
year and our roosters crow every
night in the year. Where in all the
United States are fowls So prosper
Gus, happy and contented?
j. D. Stienbaugh, who is using the
Corning system, has demonstrate
ed that in this district one man can
easily take care OF 5000 hens. 1t
has also been demonstrated that a
net annual profit OF at least 81 per
hen can sometimes be made in this
district, with scientific handling,
Several Of our enterprising men
have been experimenting for years
and they are all of that opinion.
Many persons have a wrong idea
as to the high cost of living" for a
hen in this district In the first
place we can raise tons and tons of
English COW kale per acre, the leaves
Of which can be stripped every day
in the year and is an excellent green
food for hen. We think that grain
would be too high. Such is not the
case. During the past few months
Portland has gained the reputation
OF being the greatest grain market
in the world, therefore, We can ex-

land as elsewhere Our freight rate
from Portland would be but 81 per
ton. A freight rate can be secured
from the Southern Pacific so that we
could get out eggs into the Portland
market at less than cent pei
dozen.
Here is the point. The Southern
Pacific people are anxious to work
with us along these lines. Why? In
the first place, they are not enjoying
any Of the trade of the egg industry
as the 700 carloads of eggs that are
being consumed in this district an
nually are handled most exclusively
by the Armour Packing company ant
over the Hill lines, therefore, the
Hartman people are alive to the sit
uation. They know that every fam

CAPT. POSITIONS HERoIsM

Much is being, said of the heroism of Capt. Rostron. What is hero, and of what did Capt. Rostron's hero ism consist? Thoee who are gallant, brave. or valorous in the conduct of great events are heroes. But so are those who show remarkable enter prise in the prosecution of important events A hero need not therefore be so because of a display of personal courage. It is enough for him to be an illustrious person. or to show il- lustrinus qualities in the prosecution of some noble eause.
 In speeding to the rescue of the Ti- tanic the Carpathia's manager took some physical risk of himself and his ship. There was ice about, and it presented dangeT But the captain doubled his lookouts, reduced the dan ger to a small minimum an sped on his errand of mercy. The physical danger was small.

 Exactly what has been accom- plish- ed by the eugenists has not been made public The Long Island investiga- tors into age-Old problems are scien- lists, not sensationalists, and their mission is more serious than to supply copy for the newspapers. Darwin spent long years in studying single species of animals far less complex than that superior creature, man, and it is not to be anticipated that the eu- genists will develop any facts of value until after many years of patient study. In the meantime, reporters are not welcomed at the old house in the woods that serves as headquarters for one of the most important scientific quests undertaken since mankind first began to inquire. "Why?"
 Since Prof. Davenport commenced his work, the science of eugenics has been taken up by many universities and learned societies all over the world. For the most part these eu- genists are animated by the scientific spirit. and refuse to consider what effect their discoveries may have upon the marriage relation. They seek the facts and institutions may take care of themselves. The early eugenists, like Moses Harmon, began with the assumption that legal marriage was wrong, and free love the ideal in the relations of the sexes, and sought facts to prove it. The new school of eugepists seek only the truth, regard less of what systems it may help or harm.

PROF. DAVENPORT, 4I TO-DAY, WAS PIONEER IN
 SCIENCE OF EUGENICS.

Not so very long ago the advocate Of the study of eugenics-the science of improving the human race-was looked upon as a crank and a free lover. Very often he was both. All changes and reforms-they are not all ways the same thing-are brought about by cranks. Moses Harmon. who died in California a year or two ago, was perhaps the first man in Ameri- ca to openly preach the gospel of eu- genics. For years he carried on the propaganda, through periodicals and books, from Topeka and Chicago. He held that the standards of posterityI could never be raised under the pres ent marriage system, and his advocacy of free love" led to frequent and prolonged visits to federal prisons.
 Since then eugenics has become a improve the unborn without disturb. ing the legal status of the marriage relation. The pioneer among eugen- ic scientists-for Harmon was an agi- tator rather than a scientists Prof. Charles Benedict Davenport, who was born at Stamford. Conn.,, forty-six years ago to-day. He graduated from Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute and Harvard, and in June, 1894. married Miss Gertrude Gretty, of Burlington, Kansas. who became his very able assistant in the work of the worlds nrSt eugenlcS institute at COlu spring HarbOr, Long Island.
 Prior to taking up his new work. Prof. Davenport had attained wide fame as a zoologist, teaching at liar ward and the University of Chicago. Eight years ago he accepted the post of director of the Carnegie lnstitu- tion's Station for Experimental Evolu-. tipn, at Cold Spring Harbor. That station was established to carry on an investigation into heredity, but its scope covered only plants and the low CT animals. Dr. Davenport, consider ing that human heredity is quite as important as that of hogs and flowers, individuals interested in the welfare of the human race subscribed consid- erable sums of money with which to carry on the investigations. Scientists all over the world soon became affil- iated with the institution, contribut- ing reports and data that may, when tabulated and compared, bring to

FIRST THINGS

The first tragedy worthy of the name in the English language was written by Christopher Marlowe, the father of English drama, who was killed in quarrel with a footman, Francis Archer, 319 years ago today, June 1. 1593 He was born in 1864 and was still a mere boy when he wrote his first tragedy and became the creator of English blank verse. Tani- burlaine the Great" was the title of the initial effort of the precocious gen. ius. and 1t was followed by Doctor Faustus'', .@The Jewss of Malta' Ed ward the Second. and The Massacre at Paris. .'s The tragedy of Dido, Queen of Carthage, was completed for the stage after his untimely death by Thomas Nash. Marlowe was kill ed, at the age of twenty-nine, at just about the time that young Will Shakespeare was beginning to write, and there is no doubt that his pioneer works had a profound influence upon the Bard of Avon. Mar1owe's dramas were rude in form. but spirited and vigorous in handling.

STOKES IS SUED BY MISS GRAHAM GIRL HE ACCUSED OF SHOOTING HIM DEMANDS $1OO,OOO DAM
 AGES FOR MALICIOUS
 PROSECUTION.

New York, June Miss Lillian Gra- ham, through her counsel, Clark L.. Jordan, of 154 Nassau street, yester- day afternoon began a suit in the Su- preme court to collect $100,OO0 dam ages from w. E. D. Stokes for alleg- ed false arrest and malicious prose cution. The action is the result of the trial and acquittal last December of Miss Graham and Miss Ethel Con- rad on charge of attempting to mur- der MT. Stokes. Robert M Moore, counsel for Miss Conrad has announce ed his intention Of beginning a sfrni- lar suit. Miss Graham alleges that MT. Stokes was the aggressor in the fight in her apartment on June last.
 Several of the jurors who tried the criminal case" said Mr. Jordan, 'shave told me that there was no doubt in the minds of any of the jurors that MT. Stokes had seized Miss Graham by the throat and was choking her when the first shot was fired. If this is the case, then Mir. Stokes is gull ty of macilicous prosecution, for the young women shot in self-defence.

WILBUR WRIGHT'S DEATH

Wilbur Wright. who died victim of typhoid, will be known to posterity as one of the great inventors of an age of invention. For the uniqueness of his contribution he is entitled to rank with Watt who showed the world how to apply the enegies of steam; with Stephenson, who invented the locomotive; with Fulton, who perfect ed the steamboat; with Arkwright, who created the spinning jenny; with Morse, who invented the electric tele- graph; with Bell, who produced the telephone. and with Marconi, who gave wireless communication
 . On Dec. IT, 1903, Wright, at Kitty hawk, made the first real flight ever made by man in a heavier than air machine. He flew s52 feet in 59 seconds.
 1t was the French who first ack- nowledged the supreme merit of his invention. and they were the people
 
 who had done most experimenting with heavier than air machines.
 Wright never realized great sums of money from his genius. Perhaps $250,000 would cover the entire gross sums that came to him. and large ex- pense had to be met.
 A portion of his time. during the last three or four years, was occupied In litigation to protect his rights. rights which were endangered not by lack of basic novelty in his invention, but by the circumstances that the de- tails of his work had been given to the world in lectures and otherwise by those who had observed his early

 But the heroism was there. The sea about the Titanic was dotted with ships. Several might have given aid. The Californian could have saved ev- erybody.

 It was the certainty. speed and en- terprise with which he confronted the situation that made hero of him. The event had arisen. A man was needed. Rostron was the man.

Leonidas had the smaller army at Thermopylae, but it's courage, disci- pline and fervour were immense.
 Gentlemen who want a kind of gov ernment where deep conviction and moral purpose will carry no more weight than selfishness and blind greed will not be gratified.
 Those who go to direct primaries carry them. Those are most apt to go to primaries who have strong and uplifting devotion to the state. The fellow who is. purely for his own pocket finds it difficult to get the neighbors to follow.
 The direct primary has come to stay. It has it's defects, but it is the best method of nominating candi- dates that the wisdom of mankind has yet applied.

CORRUPTION IN ATLANTIC CITY

Political bribery shows to many go betweens. The principal must usually obtain the money, from a corporation. He passes it on to a lobbyist, or leg isiative agent. The lobbyist or legis, lative agent may give the money to the alderman direct or he may em- ploy somebody to do it. Gossip re- garding what is done is usually pres ent while the transaction is in pro- cess. The man who receives the 'bad" money usually does things that show that he is more affluent than usual. His expenditures are sudden ly increased. Perhaps he celebrates with prolonged spree. Sometimes he boasts a little. At any rate the evidence of corruption is nearlypai- ways abundantiy present. and punish ment fingers in its neighborhood.

flights. and notably by Octave Chanute.
 In this Wright suffered the usual fate of men of original genius who have contributed extraordinarily to the advancement of civilization. The financial rewards of such have usually been small, and if large, dispropor- tionate to the total social value of the work they did.
 It would appear that certain law of compensation works, so that man shall not receive supreme honor and supreme wealth at the same time. And this is less unjust than it might at first appear to be, because the inventor who makes the new thing practical is usually but the capstone of pyramid in which each other block IS the work of some other man, for unique inventions do not often spring full born from the brain of man, but are the sum of the labors and Investigations of many thinkers.
 Such men as Lilienthal and Lang ley and others were necessary pre- decessors to Wright's machine that actually flew, and the perfection of the internal combustion engine was condition necessarily precedent. Every invention rests upon all that cfviliza- ton has done. and is owed in large portion to the efficiency of civiliza- the wisdom of the past available to each who is able to take.
