A prominent feature of the Pana-
ma Pacific Exposition will be an ex-
tensive Oregon out-of-doors life dis
play to cost approximately 100000.
An area of 60 X $50 feet between the
Oregon building and the bay shore
has been secured by the Oregon Com
mission and contracts have been let
for the initial work. This feature
will be unique at the Exposition,
nothing of the sort being attempted
by any other state. One of the most
interesting features will be minia-
ture reproduction of 200 miles of
the Columbia river, showing fisher
les, night signals, rapids and water
falls. This realistic bit of scenery
will extend approximately so feet.
In addition, it is announced that a
reservation of 1000 square feet has
been made for Oregon in the palaces
of horticulture, agriculture and food
products.
VIM. Tallman, of Baker, president
of the Cattle and Horse Breeders AS
sOciation of Oregon, has advised O..
NJ. Plummer, manager of the Pacific
Northwest Livestock Association,
that an important meeting of his So
ciety will be held in Portland during
the livestock show at the Union
Stockyards next Fall. Stock raisers
from all over the Northwest will be
expected to attend this convention.
One of the prominent features of
the Salem Cherry Fair, to be held
June 25-26-27, will be an electric
parade the last night of the show
There will probably be ten floats in
line, all gorgeOusly decorated and IL
Illuminated. Another interesting fea-
ture will be a street dance led by
King Bing and Queen Ann and which
will be participated in by the Cher
rians and Royal Rosarians of Port
land
The Secretary of the Interior has
designated a tract of 2S4,000 acres
of land in Oregon for entry under
he enlarged homestead law. Most
of these lands lie in the Deschutes
and John Day river basins.
The first freight vessel to be towed
through the Panama Canal was the
Grace liner Santa Clara, carrying a
cargo of Pacific Coast products, 80
percent of which was loaded at Port
land, nearly all of which will be dis
charged at New York The vessel
is comparatively new, this being her
third trip to the Pacific coast.

Wouldn't Matter, Anyway.

At the first meal on board the
ocean liner Smythe was beginning to
feel like casting his bread upon the
waters. His friends had told him
that when he began to feel that way
he should stuff himself. He tackled
a outlet first, but it didn't taste right.
He observed to the waiter: Waiter,
this outlet isn't very good
The waiter looked at his whitening
face, then replied: Eyes, sir; but for
the length of time you'll ave hit, sir,
hit won't matter, sir. ."-Lippincotts s.

Automatic Picture of Robbers.

Automatic photography of safe
robbers at work is declared to have
been perfected by German invent
or. The invention is based upon the
oscillations of quicksilver, by means
of which an electrical contact is
made. The slightest concussion of
tampering with the safe or wires
will prove sufficient to complete the
circuit, and put the hidden camera
in operation. At the same time
the device sets off a flood of light
for the picture taking and sets the
burglar alarms ringing. The rob-
ber, when caught, Will be confront
ed with a snapshot of his own TAX
ing to establish his identity.

Fire Fighters Dissatisfied.

Complaint was made to the Repub-
lican editor yesterday by a number of
young men who had been discharged by
the Clearwater Fire Protective Asso-
citation. They said they were promis-
ed transportation both ways, and that
when they were discharged they were
forced to walk forty miles to Orofino,
and had trouble in getting enough
food for the return trip. They said
they were not getting a square deal,
and that they would not again fight
fires for the timber companies. It
might be suggested that a good plan
for all concerned would be for the
companies to give each man a written
contract, stating plainly all the condi-
tions of employment, and there could
then be no room for trouble when the
time came to settle up. 1t woulo
avoid trouble and hard feelings.

Nation Facing Meat Famine.

Economic experts of the federal
government are giving the high cost
of living their thoughtful attention,
and are investigating the high prices
of meat. The Department of Agri-
culture has just completed census
of the meat-producing animals of
the United States and finds there
has been a decrease of a, 183, 900 head
and an increase Of $176, $50, 600 in
value in the during the past year.
On January l, 1914, theherd mum
bered 144, 5O7, 900, compared with
148, $50, 900 head year ago.
The bulk of the nations decreased
meat supply is in the swine herd.
Compared with last year the number
of hogs in the United States has di-
minshed 2,185, ,OoO head and sheep,
1,7e3,0OO head. The major portion
of the increased values is credited to
the beef animals. The value of all
cattle, excluding milch cows, when
compared with last year, shows an
increase of $166, 6S8, 900; swine have
gained $9,S42, 900 in value, while
sheep have deprecated 81, 476, 900.

Tag Idaho Bachelors.

A great many state legislatures
have given consideration to bills
taxing bachelors and many convinc-
ing arguments have been presented
why men who escape matrimony
should pay penalty, but why not
tag them as more painless and
effective method of determination
If the bachelors were tagged the wild
ows could easily find them and Cupid
would do the rest. The bachelor
is naturally timid, but under the en-
couraging influence of merry widow
he can be led to the altar, for there
is no more helpless craft afloat than
lovesick swain who has passed the
age of discretion, and the little imp
that plays ping-pong with human
hearts has no more capable ally than
a woman who loves at second sight,
for experience makes Cupid subtle
and bold.
The women have tag days to pro-
mote most every other public enter
prise and why not tag day for bach
elors? We have in Idaho approxi-
mately ten thousand bachelors, and
an equal number of widows. Why
not get them together and solve two
vexatious problems with one marriage
license?

Compton Does Good Work

w. B. Compton, after year in the
national capitol working to get all
scrip lands brought to patent so they
may be taxed, returned to Orofino Fri
day evening. This is matter of vi
tai interest to the people of Clear
water county, and it is gratifying to
know that the government is now clos
ing up this matter. Numerous sur
veying crews are now in Clearwater
county forests, between Pierce and the
Montana state line, and as rapidly as
the work is finished the lands will go
to patent and become subject to taxa
tion.
The Northern Pacific railroad COM
pany insists that it has tried for years
to have their script lands patented,
and that the record will show that the
railroad has at all times had money on
deposit with the government to pay
for the surveys. Congressman French
says that Mr.. Compton had been in
Washington for some months in the
interest of this work, and that he and
the other representative of the state
had rendered every possible assistance
in the work. Congressman French
makes the further statement that the
farmers unions, north Idaho counties,
and various boards of county commits
sioners had been urging the authori-
ties to close this matter up. Re-
gardless of all this Mr.. Compton has
done some valuable work for which he
is entitled to the thanks of the people,
and Of the railroad company, if their
contentious are correct. The patent
fact is that everybody claims to favor
the movement to get railroad script
lands patented, and that the work
will soon be completed.

Brady Says Hold Wheat.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 1S.-Peo-
pie generally are wondering what
effect the European war is going to
have on America. 1t is universally
conceded that there never has been
such conflict and before it is over
It will be one of the most horrible
wars known to history. The result
already has been to throw the finan-
cial market of the world into tur-
moil. The temporary money strin-
gency over the United States, how
ever, is already beginning to right
itself, after the shock, and men who
are in position to know, are very op-
tomistic over the outlook for the
American market, which will be look
ed to for the furnishing of food and
clothing for the fighting, starving peo-
pie on the other side of the Atlantic.
In summing up the situation, SEN
ator Brady, who is an authority on
business matters, writes the. following
to an Idaho friend, which gives very
good idea of conditions:
1.-The war in Europe, with all it's
horrors, is an awful thing to contem-
plate, but that does not cause us to
overlook the fact that in the end it is
going to be a wonderful financial ad-
vantage to America. The senate has
already passed the shipping bill and
there is no question but what we will
get ships enough to carry all of our
products, our crops and live stock, or
rather meats, to foreign countries as
fast as they are ready to pay the
price. We are going to have billion
bushels of wheat this year in the
United States. That means we will
have over 300, 900, 600 bushels to export.
In my judgment within the next four
months wheat will be higher than it
has been for years.
''This of itself is going to be a big
item, but the war is going to make
demand for everything that we raise
and we want to take advantage of the
situation.
II have just written to my men to
have granaries built and store every
bushel of grain rained on my ranch
this year. This is no time to sell,
and good time to hold. The money
market is going to be very tight for
awile but the men who have charge of
the financial interests of this country
have the matter we'll in hand and there
is going to be no panic, and the strin-
gency will be of very short duration.
spent last Saturday in New York
and went over the situation very fully
with men who are in touch with the
situation and this seems to be. the con-
census of opinion. l write you thus
fully so you will know how l feel
