"Oregon system" So long as the
people have the power to tie up any
or all legislation, matters should be
arranged to either approve or con-
denim it as quickly as possible. The
Observer is not claiming that this
giving to the people the power of ap-
poval or disapproval of legislation
is not practical, but does insist that
no small minority should be permit
ted to hold it up for two years and
thus deprive the state Of the benefit
of it, during all Of that time.
1t has been declared time and
again that the referendum would be
invoked on this or that measure, and
this threat, to a certain extent, has
had. we believe, wholesome effect
upon the deliberations of the present
legislature. That part of it Is all
right, but where is the justice in per-
mitting five per cent of the voters OF
the state to deprive the other 80 per
cent of the effects of the legislation
thew have asked for? As matters
now stand, it is entirely possible for
very small percentage OF the people
to invoke the referendum on the APP
preparation for the Panama-Paacific
exposition, and, if such a course were
pursued, it would simply result III
the state taking no part in the dis
play at San Francisco. This would
be an outcome which is certainly not
desired by any progressive citizen,
But the simple fact that the people
have this power has resulted in caus-
ing the legislators to pause and
think over the matter before voting
large sum for the fair. None of
the members were willing to vote a
sum so large that the people would
be justified in taking matters in their
own hands. All want the state rep
resented but at the same time, they
realize that it will be best to move
circumspectly in voting away the
state money.
But let us have the election, by
all means. 1t isn't obligatory. The
people don't have to hold an election
the bill merely provides that, if the
referendum shall be invoked, the
election be held in August, and the
matter be settled rather than to hold
it up for two years. 1t is good sense
and the bill should pass.

PARK CAN BE BEAUTY SPOT
Architect Says Dallas Has Natural
Resort.

J. A. Gilbertson, architect and de-
siener, was in Dallas yesterday on
the way to Albany on business and
remained during the day at the re-
quest of those interested i'll imprOv-
ing the city park for various pur-
poses. The gentleman made a rough
sketch of the grounds and furnished
an estimate of what it might cost to
erect various buildings for use of
fair grounds and exhibitions, concerts
that the city would require in a short
time. Mr.. Gilbertson drew the plans
for the McMinnville grounds, max
ing suggestions as to what the city
needed, and he informed a reporter
for The Observer that Dallas has far
better natural advantages than Nc
Minnville. Here. he says, a natural
stream from the mountains flows
through the grounds, furnishing a
supply of warm water where water
lilies could be made to bloom and a
park beautiful be created with small
expense. Mr.. GilbertSon has been in
consultation with the city council in
the past as to creating a park in
some out of the way place and he
saws the city has a place now that
nature gave, and he thinks there Is
no danger of an overflow of water,
Judging from the appearance of the
park as ii now stands.

SHERIDAN ASKS FOR PAVING
City Urges Council to Place Hard
Surface PAYMENT.

As Sheridan has lost one year in
the race with its competitors for
street improvement, and the eondi-
ton of the streets are now worse
than those of the average sized town,
its citizens are becoming awakened
to the necessity Of prompt action and
are urging the common council to do
something in the way of betterments.
The Sun saws that paving made on
one street two wears ago. while not
the best. has proven of such marked
benefit that other property owners
are anxious TO proceed with the work
and demand of the council a pave
ment Of quality. The members of
the council seem to be agreed upon
the matter. and for the purpose Of
education made a trip to Portland

in that city and to aequaint them
selves with the various kinds Of

REALTY MOVEMENT ASSURED
Commercial Club Answers Many
Quesries As to Valley.

More than the usual inquiries
have been made during the past
month from various parts of the
country as to conditions in the Viii
lamette valley. most of them want
ing information as 10 climate and
price Of land. The secretary has
been forwarding all possible infor-
nation to the parties who have been
lttractoi BY advertising Of the eoun-

the valley country viii have a large
influx of settlers during the spring
months. Kentucky, Oklahoma. and

questions. although several inquiries
came from Canada by those who
are not satisfied with the country
there.

So the progressives will fight
against the proposal to make one
six year term for presidents of the
United States and the further pro-
vision that no man may serve but
once. Naturally. The writing of
such clause into the constitution
would forever eliminate certain
gentleman of much prowess with his
Jaw. and. following such elimination,
the Great Progressive Party would
expire with dull, sickening thud.
No. we cannot stand for that SIX
year business. so long as I. r. re-

CROP VS. FOR
ALL THE A les
Service to Be Extended by the
Federal Department of
Agriculture.
UNSATISFACTORY III

III ~ <AHStA14NI4N4N1 tO.s u, Nov. g.
As result Oh requests from editors
and editorial associations in many
states, the United States Department
OF Agriculture has announced that
the November crop reports for eacn
state viii be supplied to the news
papers In all states through the
/ Central Weather Station located In
leach OF the states.
This is an extension OF the expert
ment OF telegraphing the state crop
returns TO the Central Weather sta
tons In each OF nine states. and hay-
ing these kilograms duplicated at
once and mailed to the newspapers
and agricultural publications. I'M
DER this plan newspapers in thirty
nine additional states win now re-
ceiVe full details Of the state crops
far more quickly than would be pos
stble IL these state crop details were
put in the malls in Washington and
had to travel by train long DISTANCES
to the more remote states.
Under this plan the general sum
mary o fthe crops for the United
mary of the crops for the United
in Washington for telegraphic dis
trlbution. It has been found, how
ever, that the conditions of crops
within their particular states are OF
especial value to the farmers and
producers, to whom the conditions in
their own state are important in the
marketing of their produce.
Under this plan the department
sends one telegram to the Central
Weather Bureau in each state, and
within few minutes after the crop
figures for the state are completed in
Washington the Weather Bureau
Is enabled to mail copies of the fig-
ures from acentral point within the
state to all papers in that state.
Under the code system used, the
department is under the necessity OF
telegraphing only a. few figures. as.
the figures OF previous crops for COM
parison are supplied to each weather
bureau station by mail. The cost
OF the telegram for each state does
not exceed seventy-flve cents.
The crop data thus circulated by
mail to the newspapers will give:
(a) full list OF the crops; Obj the
average condition of each crop for
AVu-JGdT pGilOub III luhI pdTLlCuldt
state; (c) the condition OF the state
crops for November 8. In the ad-
joining column VIII be, given the
same data for the United States, so
that the farmers who read these mo-
tees can compare the crops In their
states as of November 8 with the ten
year averages of their own state, and
lin the same way with the average
condition throughout the United
States on November and for ten
years.
These state crop reports are not
supplied to individuals, and are
mailed only to editors OF regular
publications. The November state
crop report for the thirty-nine states
newly added to the list will be sent
only to daily papers, the county seat
papers, and agricultural publications.
Meanwhile, the department is pre-
pairing lists of small-town weeklies,
and in December the crop reports
will be sent also to the smaller pa
pers.

There Is in Senator Chilton's office
in the Capitol a small jar OF coffee
which has History. 1T is a portion
OF a package Of fifteen pounds Of
coffee which was hidden in the gar

soldiers were entering the village.
After the army had departed the
coffee was forgotten and remained In
its hiding place until 1912 when il
was discovered by workmen who
were putting electric wires into the
house. Notwithstanding the fact
that it was stored away for fifty
