PRESIDENT WILSON OBEYS HIM

Although President Wilson has a
cabinet to advise him, he is not bound
to follow its advice. There is one
consultant, however, whose word is
practically law to him, and who acts
as his personal guardian. This is the
official White House physician, and in
Woodrow Wilson's case it is DR.. Cary
T. Grayson, u. s. N.
Aside from being his medical ad-
wiser, Doctor Grayson-or Past As
sistant Surgeon Grayson, to use the
navy title-is one of the few close per
sonal friends the president has in
Washington. He accompanies the
chief executive wherever he goes, ad-
vises him about what he shall eat and
what he shall wear. suggests the prop
er hours of recreation and work and
tells him what he should and should
not do in the way of labor.
Doctor Grayson formerly was

Weight Sealers
Accomplish Much

The state office of weights and
measures has issued the first quar-
terly report showing the work accom-
plished under the 1915 laws. The
report is compiled by Deputy Sealer
Fred Buchtel and is comprehensive
although condensed summing up OF
the work done.
The new law divided the state into
four districts, instead of having one
official for each county, as hereto
fore, with the apportionment of the
expense pro rata per county, accord
ing to population, this not only pro-
noting efficiency, but reducing the
expense of operation. Out of a total
of 2,95S scales that were inspected
and tested, 493 were condemned and
their use not allowed, while 624
were adjusted, corrected and sealed /;
2,59S weights were tested, of which
1923 were condemned; 44S liquid
measures were tested and 49 con-
demned. No inaccuracies were found
in the linear measures tested, 25O
tests having been made. In sum-
ming up the results of the first quar-
ter of work, the officials are of the
opinion that much good has been ef-
fected and in a manner that will ac-
complish the best results without
working any undue hardships on the
merchants, the majority of whom are
found anxious to cooperate in secur-
ing honest weights and measures.

War Has Created
New Apple Market

The effect Of the war on the apple
business has been less disastrous
than anticipated, and, in fact, has
opened up promising new markets,
according to Bulletin No. 302, "Ap-
Pile Market Investigations, 1914
1916" just issued by the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture. A peril
nent paragraph from the report fol-
lows:
1.-THE effect of the war upon the
industry has been found to be less
disastrous than was apprehended.
Because Of the cheapness of the fruit
consumption was stimulated until
the exports far exceeded expecta-
tions. The German ports being
closed, large quantities were shipped
direct to the Scandinavian markets
for the first time and trade with
South America has also increased
greatly and should continue to do so,
especially if the growing trade in
meat products affords additional re-
turn facilities for shipment. Careful
selection, grading and packing by
hand is, however, essential to the de-
livery of the fruit in good condition,
and only stock that may be classed
as fancy or extra fancy should be
exported to South American ports.

That the practice is general be-
comes apparent from the fact that
over in Coos Bay campaign is being
waged against county officials indulg-
ing in the same practice. A suit to
decide the legality OF such action on
the part OF county officials will be
welcomed throughout oregon.
The Oregon Voter Of Portland has
the following to say regarding the
practice, speaking of the controversy
in Coos county:
Voters of Oregon outside of Coos
county have no interest in this con-
troversy except as similar practices
are resorted to in their home coun-
ties. And if county officials in many
counties do try to earn a little money
in perquisites over their meager sal
aries, the practice is not SO repre-
hensible when a charge is made for
service performed as when the off
cials Systematically try to build up
private business for themselves in
performing these services and OBJ
tanning pay for same from people
who seek to sell supplies and obtain
contracts from the counties.
Several unscrupulous dealers
have pursued the policy of buying
mailing lists from county officials as
means of handing money to the Of
ficials, thus building up good will
for themselves as dealers. When the
time comes for giving orders, such
dealers stand so we'll with the Off
cials they have hired for petty serv-
ices that it is much easier for them to
get the orders. Thus taxpayers
money is paid out to dealers who
have paid county officials for serv-
ices.
do not blame the poor devil of an
official. His salary is too small, and
the narrow-minded taxpayer is one
of the causes of the salary being Sc
small. Nevertheless, these prac-
tices should not be tolerated. We
should pay county officers high
enough salaries to permit them tc
live decently without resorting to the
sale of mailing lists and other serv-
ices in an effort to eke out living
and save up something for the fu-
ture."

DEPOT DOINGS.

At recent meeting of the South
ern Pacific's board of pensions, in
San Francisco, three veteran en-
ployes of the lines in Oregon were
placed on the retired list. The three
whose names go on the honor roll
are Frank r. Dunn of Portland, trav-
cling freight agent; Francis M. Cum
mings of Clackamas, conductor, and
Carl F. N. Alsted of Cottage Grove,
pumpman. Since establishing of the
pension system in 1908, 622 names
have been enrolled on the list of re-
tired veterans, and up to June 80 of
this year s1,764,295 had been dis
bursed in pensions.
Railroad freight traffic through
here of late has been the heaviest in
tonnage in Southern Pacific history
both north and south bound. AS a
result several additional freights
have been placed in the service. On
recent date the heaviest train
which ever attempted the Siskiyou
grades went over the mountains.
Shorter trains on speedy schedules
are also in evidence occasionally, a
notable instance having been Is cars
loaded with hops exclusively, east
ward bound on limited time.
John Ruger, until recently en-
ployed at the local roundhouse, has
secured a position in the Southern

He has been inspecting the new lines
of the company from Eugene to Coos

to be well along toward completion.
Only 10 miles separates the ends OF
the rails which are pushing from

Remarkable Growth
OF Douglas Fir

Results, published in a recent issue
of The Timberman, relative to a For
est Service study of tree growth, show
that a certain typical stand of Doug
las fir, about sixty years of age, on
the western slopes of the Cascade
range in Oregon, has produced 6,297
board feet during the last five years.
This is a specific test bearing upon
a topic about which there has been
much speculation. In April, 1910.
three sample plots, an acre each in
size, were laid out in a 54-year old
stand of Douglas fir. second growth.
Each individual tree was tagged and
numbered, and record made of it's
measurements. This spring, five
years later, these plots were remeas-
ured by the same methods. Some
trees had died, others had stagnated,
but the majority showed a growth Of
at least an inch in diameter and few
as much as two inches. In fact. the
average annual growth per acre was
found to be 1859 board feet. This
is gross, scale, no allowance being
made for defects or breakage.
1t should be understood that this
is not an exceptional stand in a ia
vorable location. The conditions as
to soil, climate and exposure are all
average, and therefore the growth
indicated is not in excess of what may
be secured on any good quality site
on the Cascade foothills.

which he failed to turn over to the
