keted muse be on the hoof and
not in the grain sack or upon the
hay wagon.
Paying six per cent. for bor-
rowed money to make farming
economical and profitable is an
uphill business. There is vast
difference between six and an
everlasting debt on the farm and
five and the loan wiped out under
the Amortization plan" proposed
by the Kentucky Rural Credit
Association.
We do not advise anyone, farm
er or merchant, to borrow unless
there is a practical business ne
cessity for borrowing and a plain
leakage in business as a result
of not having sufficient capital.
But as many must borrow it is
better to borrow at FIVE per cent.
than at six.

ALASKA. YUKON AND THEIR
 FUTURE.

THE EMPIRE, commenting upon
 the suggestion of Premier Sir
 Richard Mcbride, of British Col. umbia, that Yukon Territory should be annexed to British Columbia, said that either Yukon Territory should be an- nexed to British Columbia. or the northern part of British Columbia, that part of it which is contiguous to the Yukon and where the conditions are the same as those of Yukon Territory, should be annexed to the latter. We contended that one of these things is necessary to guarantee to the peo- pie of Yukon Territory hope of that measure of selfgovernment that goes with provincial government in the Do minion Of Canada. These observations caused the Dawson News. one of the best newspapers in all the north-al. ways able and always alert-to retort:
 Juneau might as we'll argue the
 advantage Of having Alaska an-
 nexed to Washington state and
 dominated by Seattle as to sug-
 gest that Yukon be annexed to
 British Columbia and turned over
 to the politicians of Vancouver
 and Victoria. Alaska may talk of
 statehood and provinces, but it is
 a safe bet Alaska does not want
 statehood at any stage in the
 game at the price of lost identity.
 a foreign set of ill-ftting laws,
 and a stream of carpetbaggers.
 No, the conditions are not ana logous. Alaska has an area of 59OOOO square miles-greater tan that of British Columbia and Yukon Terri. tory combined. It has 26.OOO miles of

THE FOX INDUSTRY.

THE LESSON to those Of the North
 who are engaged in fox captur'
 ing and fox raising contained in the reports of American COnsuls Frost, of Charlottetown. and Culver, of St. John. is two fold. First. they should get a good stiff price for the animals they sell for export, and, second, they should either get the money for their catches or they should be mighty care full to whom they sell,
 Further than that, the report would indicate that there is no place where fox farming may be conducted on a more stable basis than in Alaska and Yukon Territory. The great capitali- zation that seems to be necessary to start a farm in Eastern Canada is not necessary in the North. and. when eli matic conditions are considered, it ought to be difficult to beat sections of the continent of which the fox is a native.
 In the meantime the discovery that foxes can be Gomestcated and bred in captivity has added to opportunities in the North and increased it's in- come.

 fine as any in the world. It has more than 100. 900 square miles of lands suit
 able for agricultural development. It's
 mineral deposits. including quartz and
 placer gold, copper. tin, silver and oth' CT metals and coal. surpass those of any other section of the continent. Its fisheries, already developed to the stage where the salmon output is more than half that of the world, are rich beyond dreams. Its production is al- ready great. and it's industries and population are growing rapidly. The possibilities of the country are unlim' ited. With government railroads about to be built and its coal fields about to be released for development, 1t cannot be but few years more un- til it will have population and deyel. oped resources of such proportions that 1t will have the right to demand full Statehood, and such has been promised by the leaders of the party that is in power and that is likely to remain in power for some time. The place Alaska is destined to occupy In the Republic is assured. It will soon become one of the great states in the American Union.
 If that portion of British Columbia that is contiguous to Yukon Territory were annexed to the Territory the Canadian Yukon could look forward to a great future as a rich Province in the wonderful country the Cana. dians are making out of their Dominion, but with the Territory confined to portion. only. of the waterways of the upper Yukon. the day when 1t will become a full.Aedged Province is not within sight.
 However. if the people of Yukon Territory are unable to secure the an nexation to their Territory of the Northern extremities of British Col. umbia. and prefer their present status to becoming the tail to British Colum- bias kite, none who believes in the democratic principle of self-govern. ernment can question their right to have things remain as they are. It is a problem for Yukoners, and may their desires in the premises, whatever they may be, prevail.

Arch Deacon Stuck is quoted as say ing that Alaska's needs are for roads for wagons and other vehicles and not for railroads. If he had said that Al aska's needs are for wagon roads as well as railroads We would not quar- rel with him. As 1t is we suggest that he confine himself to missionary af- fairs and mountain climbing when making speeches in the East.

Senator vardaman's attempt to con fuse the woman suffrage question with the race problem in the Senate was, to say the least, rediculous. The fact that there are elements in the voting population that are more or less un- qualified to vote is the best argument that has yet been offered in behalf of woman suffrage. They constitute reinforcement to the best element of the voting population.

ues to improve his home until his

family moved off the ranch to town to
send the children TO school. The fam
lily being very poor. the two daughters
worked In the telephone office during
the night and attended school during
the day. The mother worked In res
taurant to help support the family. At
the end OF the term OF school they
moved back on the dry ranch and

case was decided after an expensive
trial In favor OF the homesteader, and

costs and attorneys fees, and Will

This Is only one OF the many cases
where the settler OF Eastern Oregon Is
wronged. The government falls In q
large per cent OF the cases, and Chief
Sharp told me he had enough cases to

come. There should he new inves.

DAVEY HAS SOMETHING TO SAY

To the Honorable Geo. w. Hayes,
Geo. E. Davis, NJ. G.. Hope and /. w.
Hope, Vale, Oregon.
Gentlemen:
! have before me copy of what I
take to be a letter signed by you for
publication and which greatly sur
prises me In the number OF false and
misleading conclusions which you
seek to impant in the public mind to
injure my candidacy for the nomna-
tlon as joint representative, and II
is a genuine shock TO me to find one
in particular of the names attached
TO it--a man for whom | labored 50
faithfully in the past, without com
pensation or thanks, to re-elect to an
important district office. In fact, my
knowledge OF all you gentlemen had
led me to believe you would be at
least fair with me and take pains 10
be informed OF facts before making In
furious allegations.
Let us give the records: In 1912,
Judge Miller OF this county and l.. V.
Stewart Of Grant were candidates for
senator. You say the republicans OF
Malheur generally supported Miller
very loyalty. hut. my fries1s, the re-
turns OF the primary election show
that YOU gave him 59i votes. That
Is good way to nominate a Harney
county man, isn't Il?
Speaking Of the general election, ia
which Mr., Burley, republican AMI
Mr. Homan, democrat, both from
Malheur county, were candidates. you
allego that the defeat Of the republI-
can was "In spite Of republican sup
port given him by Malheur county re-
publlcans and because of the want o!
loyal support In burns and lIarney
county. Had YOU consulted the re-
turns, gentlemen, you would see how
false and unjust that declaration is.
The records show that In Harney
county Mr. Hurley received ,99 votes
and Mr., lIoman 62j. II majority OF ID
for Hurley, while Malheur cast
enough the other way to beat Hurley.

The Pembina Pioneer Express says

The terrible tragedy at Calumet in
Which 72 persons lost their lives in a

wsir between unionism and capitalists,
for which both are equally to blame"
With this as a text the P. E. preach

Of such vars. and urges a spirit of
mutual forbearance and mutual ac-
commodation between those whose
interests. for the time, seem to differ.
Brother Wardwell's conclusions are
sound, and may be amply justified on
other grounds. but his premises in this
case are mistaken. There is no mor
connection between the Calumet trag-
