Recognition under this law Of

Defense Act.
The telegram from the acting Sec
-etary Of war follows.
THE national defense act an
proved June 3. 1916, contemplates
the transaction OF the present or
ganized militia into National Guard
upon fulfillment of the requirements
prescribed in sections 70 and 73 OF
said act as to enlistment contracts
and others. The enlistment contracts
and oaths now required by lawE
and oaths now required by your
State are deemed insufficient within
the meaning Of sections 70 and 70.
No funds for next fiscal year can be
placed to credit OF any State for Ma
tional Guard purposes until recogni-
tion as National Guard is extended
as provided in said act. The neces-
sity for early action is therefore
manifest. The form Of new oaths TO
be subscribed to by enlisted men
must be identical with the REQUIRE
ments OF the act of June 3, 1915.
Recognition under this law of your
National Guard by the war depart
h.ent must be deferred until recent
OF report from your State that its
omcers have subscribed to the
new oath and IT'S enlisted men have
contracts and new oath. The militia
bureau will advise the State adtu-
tant general as to the details of nro-
cedure best adapted to secure the de-
sired result. Please have war de-
partment advised as to action taken
and process Of reorganization.

to state university students in com
merce day or two ago. Mr.. Arnold
has been a commercial attache from this
country to China for l5 years.
His application of the epigram was,
however, new; the people of the United

build up large trade with China, they
must invest in projects for China IS de-

"Ameriea has been trading with
China since colonial days, yet today
we carry on less than 10 per cent of

imports more than $i00,0O0,0O0 worth

secure concessions for financing Chi

Henry zorn's Jersey
Cattle Receive Notice
In Oregon Farmer

The Oregon Farmer, under the date of
September 7, 1916, contains brief,
well worded article relative to Henry
lorn s Jersey cattle, together with a
picture of Mr.. Zorn and portion of his
Champoeg farm. The information con-
tanned in the story is of such a nature
that we deem it quite interesting and
take pleasure in presenting it to our
readers, says the Donald Record.
Champoeg, Ore, where in 1912 the
first territorial government was set up
and where at meeting of early pion-
GERS steps were taken which saved this
great and rich territory to the United
States, now promises to become famous
as Jersey breeding ranch. The town
of Champoeg is dead, a boat landing
being about all that is left to mark the
site of the momentous meeting of the
few men whose action meant so much
to the future generation; a pioneers
meeting is held and largely attended.
the tenth of May, every year to com.
memorate the place, the men and what
they accomplished The site of old
Champoeg is included in the 1,200 or
more acres of Champoeg farm, owned
by Henry Zorn, whose postoffice is Au-
rora. His residence, which is still quite
pretentious buiuding, was erected be.
fore the Civil war and much of the um-
Der in it is hand planed. One of Mr.
Zorn' S uncles was a pioneer of 1S4S,
another 1856 and his father came to
Oregon in 1862. Considerable of the
farm is in woods pasture and has many
beautiful hooks and dells.
Ten years ago Mr.. Zorn's wife in
duced him TO buy grade Jersey heifer
She proved to be great milk and bnt
ter COW, and her sire, registered bun
of which Mr. Zorn is unable to learn
anything regarding his breeding, sired
many fine mixers. This got Mr.. Zorn
to notice the value of Jersey blood and
in 1910 he purchased his first pure bred
from the Ed Cory herd, an inbred st.
Moves heifer, out of st. Moves Susie.
Last spring Mr.. Zorn got from Cory,
st. Moves Coffee Violet and had, out
of st. Moves Coffee Violet, COW now
ON official test that will produce prob
ably 900 pounds of butter in year. He
now has 10 head of registered Jerseys
ON official test and will give every one
of his herd an official record. With
their breeding and the care he gives
them the prediction in the first sem
tence is not extravagant Champoeg
farm Jerseys are likely to become ia
nous as producers. ~

Jackson Shutdown, the 50 year old Nez

been among the round up contestants.
Before 10000 people, yesterday tne
largest single day attendance since
Pendleton began staging her famous
frontier show, he proved his right to
the title, and it was the most populal~
championship ever made.
There was no question in the minds
of the spectators at all, after three
riders in the finals had finished riding
A mighty cry Of "SunGown, Sundown y
floated out from grandstand and
bleacners and, when the judges decis-
ion was found to conform with their
preference pandemonium rcigned.
Shutdown was placed on his horse
and rode slowly about the track. The
crowd stood EN- masse, yelling, cheer
ing and waving hats with wild en-
thusiasm. 1t was an ovation that
king might have envied and the ald
Indian, who is a nephew of Chief
Joseph, the noted Nez Perez warrior,
acknowledged the tumultuous plaudits
with a wave of his hat.
Over among the Indians sat his
wife and daughter and they and their
people cheered with the rest.

Under Mr.. Wilson's leadership the
democratic party is today better in
strument of progressive government
than in generation, if not in its entire
history, and, what is more to the
point, n better instrument, in the
opinion of this paper, than the repub-
lcan party promises at this moment to
become under Mr., Hughes. Various
episodes have emphasized the fact that
the democratic party has had com
parativcly few outstanding leaders of
national reputation. But it is one of
the chief items of Mr.. Wilson 5 leader
ship that during his term progressive
and enlightened democrats, such as
Newton d. Baker, secretary of war,
have been brought more and more in
the front, while the reactionaries have
been sent more and more to the rear.
The party has been in training and it
has gained. But in spite of any com
parative lack of leaders, the Demo
Gratis meeting in caucus, whenever
caucus has been necessary, have
threshed things out and determined to
support, one after another, a long
series of soundly constructive lcgisla'
tive measures of historic Importance
notable among them the income tax,
the rural credits act, the child labor
bill, the federal unemployment service,
the humanitarian features of the sea
men S act and the provision for vo-
catOnal training for civil life while
in the army. To achieve such a record
without leaders, if it were literally
true that the Democrats had had no
leaders, would he in itself triumph
of democracy and better promise
than any amount of leadership stamped
with the political conceptions of Boise
