At an election held in Roseburg
early last week the voters of that city
authorized the issuance of bonds to
the amount of 100000 with which
to assist in the construction of a rail
road from Roseburg to Coos Bay.
A railroad commission consisting of
ten business men of the city was pro-
vlded for at the same election.
Fifty thousand dollars contributed
by Multnomah county citizens for the
completion of the Columbia Rive:
Highway in the county will be ex-
pended in the immediate future un
der the supervision of the state high
way engineers. This donation it is
said will insure the completion of the
grading on the highway this year.
In the near future an extensive
system of stock yards will be estab-
lished at Springfield for the handling
of livestock in the upper Willamette
valley. Market quotations will be
published daily, based on the Port
land market, and the surplus live
stock will be shipped to the metrop-
oils. 1t is expected that the improve
mennt will cost not less than $4,000.
Following the disastrous fire at
Bandon last June in which property
to the value of 100000 was des-
troyed, the citizens of that progress
i've city have started out to make
public and private improvements
which will aggregate s250,000 in
cost. A number Of modern fire-prooi
| structures are now under way, eX-
| tensions of the water system are be-
ing installed and few months will
see new and substantial city erect

AGRICULTURAL LEG
ISLATION NEEDED
The Farm the Place to Study
All Legislative Problems.
BY Peter Radford.
Lecturer National Farmers Union.

Lecturer National Farmers Union.
The principal function performed by
government today is to collect taxes,
keep records and prevent and punish
crime; but that is not sufficient. Gov
ernment should tip its hat to the God
dess of Opportunity as courageously
as it draws a siX-shooter on train
robber We ought to encourage THRIFT
as well as restrain greed. We have
been basing legislation upon the ex-
tremes of human life-the classes
high and low, the depraved and the
talented-let US now reach the masses
and the extremes will more nearly
disappear. Our statutes are filled to
overfowing with pity and revenge;
let us add opportunity.
The slogan Of the Farmers Union
is cooperation. Not only among in
dividual farmers, but between all legi-
innate and useful occupations. We
want to sit around the hearthstone
of industry and talk over problems OF
mutual interest with our neighbors.
We want to invite those who are
earnestly searching for information
on public questions to get back to
the soil with their Investigations
where, in the stiffness of nature, they
can climb the mountain-top of wis
DOM explore the deep canyons of
knowledge and stroll through the
quiet valleys of understanding.
There is no problem in civilization
that cannot be found in it's native
state on the farm. The labor, edu-
cational, financial, transportation
home-bulding and all ether problems
are there. We will discuss few of
them.
The Labor Problem.
We bow to the dignity of labor
No one would be willing to do more
to tighten the burdens, increase the
safety, comforts and profits of those
who labor in commerce and industry
than their fellow toilers in agricul
ture. But how about the farmer who
bows his back to feed and clothe the
world, and who works from sun until
sun? Is he not also entitled to an
increase in pay and shortening OF
hours? Much has been said about
the women in the factory and behind
the counter, but how about the woman
in The field, drenched in perspiration
gathering the harvest, the little chill
dren, their lips wet with mothers
milk, toiling by her side? Are they
not also entitled to consideration? Is
not the man who digs in the ground
entitled to the same consideration as
he who tolls at the forge, weaves at
the loom and works behind the count
er?
The farmer has been bearing his
burdens as patiently as the beast he
plows, bat is patience a bar from JUS
tice? The labor problem of Virginia
today is en- the farm, and the first
attention should be given those who
labor in the field

} . The Pastel . .
A CHARMING SHORT STORY COMPLETE.

the famous painting was to be her
wedding present to Suzanne and its
value would increase every year.
Perhaps there were other treasures
among the rubbish, and the attic was
carefully searched and a few more
valuable articles were found and sold
to dealers, but there were no more
paintings.
Nine. de Lourdy never grew tired
looking at the pastel and always told
how she had come near letting ii iie
on the floor because 1t was so dusty;
that fortunately she had known
enough about paintings to look at it
more closely
In the meantime the Paris papers
heard about the painting and from
all over France art lovers came to
look at it and admire il.
Very Restless.
Nine de Lourdy had IT fastened to
the wall very securely and always
went along when visitors came to see
it. The thought that somebody might
rob her Of it became q fixed idea with
her and made her restless
When Mona Lisa was stolen from
the Louvre she bought a couple OF
bloodhounds, had new locks put on all
the doors and steel shutters outside
every window in the house
At last she ordered the painting
hung in her bedroom in kind of safe
built into the wall.
The fear OF losing It ruined her
health, and when Suzanne at last be-
came engaged and had received the
painting as a gift, Nine. de Lourdy
took to her bed, from which she never
arose
Suzanne's hance was rich young
man. who greatly admired the picture
for its own sake, but he did not think
II genuine Latour. He believed ii
to have been painted by Houin, a pu
pill OF Latour
One day when he was sitting in
the sickroom with Suzanne and the
nurse he took the picture down, re-
moved the wooden back and under
Meath he found Houin's signature.
He called Suzanne and showed II to
her
Just at that moment Nine. de Lour-
dy opened her eyes. and when she
saw the two young people examining
the picture she was seized with q
sudden fear and asked in a trem-
bling voice, What is the matter, Su-
zanne?"
The young girl with wonderful
presence Of mind, smiled and replied
Imagine. grandmother Lucien has
found Latours signature on the pic
ture and says that it is now worth at
least four hundred thousand francs"

"a ME-. DE LOURDY had no idea
MI Of where to begin or where TO
end when she came up into
the immense garnet OF the large
house near MeauX, which she had in
herted from an aunt.
Good Lord, what am I to do with
all that trash?" she exclaimed, and
full of despair she looked at the
heaps of broken armchairs, old couch
es with torn covers, cracked china
ware legless chairs and old trunks
piled almost to the roof
For perhaps a century or more
everything that was broken in the
house had been thrown up here
Quite accidentally Nine. de Lourdy
moved an old armchair, looked at her
hands and was about to push the
chair back when something dropped
with a noise of breaking glass.
Nine. de Lourdy stopped and picked
up an old painting, She could not
see what it was right away, as It
was covered with a thick layer OF
dus', but when she had taken it TO
the window and blown the dust away
she saw it was 81 pastel in carved

hanging loose over her left shoulder
and wearing a very low necked dress.
This is not at all bad she said.

II was hung and those who ga W 1t
said It was very pretty, but paid no
particular attention to It,
Nine. de Lourdy rather liked the
dreaming eyes of the picture and the
hooking smile about the lips and
thought it family portrait, executed
probably BY some local artist.
Years passed. Nine. de LOurdy,
who was a widow and devoted her
self entirely to her little grand
daughter. lived nearly all year in the
house she had inherited. The pastel
was hanging on the parlor wall, but
nobody ever looked al IT,
