BACK TO FARM MOVE
IS NOW GENERAL
N. G. Maris Tells of Interest in Agri-
culture and State Fair Through
out Oregon.

N. G. Mads, member of the state
board of agriculture, spent yesterday
looking over the state fair grounds. He
is also connected with the Oregon ag-
ricultural college His duties take him
all over the state and he reports an
increase of interest in the district,
county and state fairs. He finds thou
sands of people who never have at
tended the state fair and hundreds who
have never seen their own county or
district fairs He says that when the
Oregon state fair opens September go
and closes October it will be shown
that practically the entire state will
have been represented in the exhibits.
Fifteen fairs will be held shortly be.
fore or shortly after the state fair and
the state fair will have exhibits from
all of these. There will be ten coun.
ties represented in the county exhib.
its in addition to the collective ex.
hibits.
He finds in conversing with the peo.
pie that the increased interest in coun.
ty and district fairs is causing people
to move from the city to the country
and become producers instead of con.
sumers. He has appeared before doz.
ems of schools and encouraged the chill

Mr. Maris finds the "baek to the
farm" interest general throughout the
state, and he traces the fact to the
agitation going on in Oregon roday. In
his talks to the schools he has dwelt
upon the camping feature at the fairs.
and he Encourages neighbors, friends
and relatives of all concerned to in.

THE MERcILEssNEss OF RED TAPE.

There is good deal Of human interest in the
story-wtch consists of the lack of a story-of the
life of William Henry Lee, the Chicago publisher.
short time ago he died, intestate, without known
heirs, and leaving something like 100000. The
reason that no heirs known is that he had some
thing in his past to conceal and with it his identity
He did both we'll Comfortably off, with good
house in good quarter, he went through the years
exchanging no condolences, having little to do with
anyone, living the life of person who asked only
that he be allowed to tend his business and, after
business was done, be let alone.
But somehow the estate must be settled II there
are legal heirs the money belongs to them. But,
until his real identity be discovered the heirs cannot
be found And SO, after his DEATH the law must set
to work to uncover the secret which throughout his
known period of life he was so bent on preserving.
1t is merciless proceeding. The heirs don't
know the money is coming to them Possibly, if
they get it, it will do them more harm than good.
Why in such case should the dead not be respected
Why should the money not go to some public charity

But if there be Christian spirit in the law, and
the law is successful in its search, surely it will

BY the year 17Oe chocolate
was the fashionable drink Of all Eng

the trunk Of the cacao tree. The pods
are cut OF, allowed to lie on the ground
for a day and then split. The beans
are removed and put In trenches In the

beans are turned over SO that they all

THE NEW YORK MAYORALTY.

After a vast amount of jockeying, the fusion
committee of l07 in New York city has agreed in
naming John Purroy Mitchell the candidate for
mayor. Mr.. Mitche' is now collector Of the port of
New York, named to the place by President Wilson.
His service in the city government down to the time
he resigned to become collector marked him as one
of the strong young men of the town; and when he
became collector it with the understanding that
he might later resign to enter the mayuralty race.
The President, of course, is greatly pleased with
Mr. Mtchels selection; whether il means that basis
has been reached for some measure of rapproche-
ment between President Wilson and Editor Hearst
is of the interesting questions that promptly rise
Mr. Hearst has been insistent opponent of Wilson
first and last He supported Champ Clark for the
nomination for President; did not support Wilson,
save in the most nominal fashion, for the election
and has been persistent and sharp critic of the
Administration after the wel-known Hearst methods
OF late Mr.. Hearst has seemed to have under
taken the business of forcing intervention in Mexico
just as, fifteen years ago, Mr. Hearst personally
conducted the preliminaries to war with Spain. In
doing this he has managed to be right troublesome
the Administration of late, which has found the
Mexico situation amply uncomfortable at best.
Therefore, the possibility that Mr.. Mitchers NOM
ination might in some degree bring about Mr..

posed Improvements, the parcel post package limit OF
weight beyond twenty pounds:
The PostofHce Department is not going to
stop at a package limit OF twenty pounds, but
will go on to one hundred pounds as soon as 1t
can take care of the business. The limit would
have been made twenty-five instead Of twenty
pounds this time had it not been for the fact
that the last Administration stocked up the de-
partmeut with twenty-pound scales, and the
cost of replacing them with larger ones would
have been too great an Item 10 ignore at this
time.
If that explanation is the truth, it is not
cuse; it is an Indictment
The parcel post was put into operation, with very
limited functions, largely if not almost entirely, to
prove that it could and would do more business Sue
cessfuy So perfectly was that present plan under
stood and so perfectly were the immediate posslbl
ties so recognized that in the act of establishment
Congress provided that the Postoffce Department
could 90 ahead at will with the Improvements and
betterments necessary and desirable.
1t is over the authority to do that very thing that
Congress now shows disposition to wrangle with the
Department, trying TO block the better service. And
in behalf of the Postoffce Department it is now put
forth that the only it isn't raising the weight
limit from eleven TO twenty-five pounds, instead of
twenty pounds, is that II is stocked up with twenty
pound scales!

New York Central looking for all the freight it could
get yet because the freight yards were equipped with
twoton scales, refusing to take millions and millions
of tons of freight because to do would mean put
ting in three-ton iveton scales, scales Of any
capacity you please.
If the Postoffce Department has all the machinery
and equipment to handle twenty-five pound packages,
or pound packages, except the scales to weigh the
shipments and if that is the only thing that prevents
its doing the business and making miraculous Sue
cess of what is now marvellous success it would
better resolve upon the new scales and if necessary
Congress would better provide the money Else, in
spite of the in which the parcel post principle
has vindicated itself, the Governments share Of the

AN ARMORY.

me District National Guard wants an armory,
and probably will get it some day Congressman
Dyer has introduced bill to appropriate Sl,750o00
to build it. That would make an armory big enough
for a whole brigade. 49,. .-..
Il is worth while to ask, however, whether it is
proposed to build in prominent place in Washington
an armory, covering whole city block, frowning
down, gloomy, darksome, and horrihc, on an entire
section of the town, looking threatening as the
ordinary armory pile in other cities. The time for
building bastilles in the midst of cities-eastwse
American cites-ought to be past There is Fort
Myer at our back door; if we get riotous or other
wise unmanageable, the soldiers can come over and

granite heap of desolation and menace, suggesting
forever the age of the iron-fsted government. 1t

nsnt to the style which the town is being built.
