recent campaign he was op-
posed to the normal school bill
and wrote various letters in
opposition to the measure.
Mr., Allen now seems to have
become possessed of a faint
notion that after all perhaps
a teeny weeny bit of normal
school work might be alright
for the eastern part Of the
state. He even becomes so
bold as to make a suggestion
or two along that line.
The East OregOnian feels
stunned. What has come over
this western OregOnian to
produce such eXtravagant
thoughts. Has a carload of
lumber at last been moved or
did some one sell a jar of
loganberry juice? Certainly
there has been an economical
upheaval of some sort down
there. Such spendthrift ten
denotes do not come about
without cause. The East Ore
gonian only hopes that the
"upheaval" will not be con-
fined entirely to Lane county
Benton county needs a touch OF
the same, thing and as much
might be said of several other
counties of the Willamette val
ley.
But if further generous ad-
vances are to be made by Mr.
Allen or anyone else please
please make them gently, or 9
lot of people may drop dead

FOREST RESERVE MAN
AGEMENT

~ ATIONAL forest admin
III stration last year was
~ characterized, according
to Forester Henry S. Graves,
chief of the forest service, in
his annual report which has
Just been published, by an in
crease of more than $340,00O
in receipts, which totaled over
$2,8OO,00O, by rapid progress
in land classification, by a ma
terial advance in development
work, in which road building
is one of the largest factors,
and by relatively small losses
from forest fires.
The receipts from timber
were over $1,400,000, a ~
per cent increase, while graz
ing receipts were $1,200,OOO,
and water power rentals
brought in 100000. "At
present" says Mr.. Graves.
''the receipts from the national
forests are approximately
three-fourths of what it costs
to protect them and carry on
the current business. In addi'
ton to this cost, however
there are expenses which are
primarily in the nature of In
Ivestments." Roads and other
improvements, reforestation OF
denuded lands, and classified.
ton and survey work are ex-
ampIes. "All expenses con-

nected with the national for
ests, including these invest
ment expenses as well as the
cost Of operation, approximate
.S5,275,OO0."
A steady increase in the re-
turns from the national forests
is expected by the chief for
ester. In spite of the unstable
and unhealthy condition OF
the lumber market a steady
and increasing local demand
for national forest timber is
created by the upbuilding Of
the country. This demand Will
be constantly growing even
though sales for the general
market will fluctuate with the
prevailing business conditions:
| The returns from grazing will
increase as more stock uses the
forests, in consequence OF
range improvement and the
development of new range, 1t
is stated.
A moderate annual increase
for three years in the grazing
fee is contemplated which, if
put into operation, will even
tualIy bring the grazing re-
ceipts to more than S2,O0O,-
900 a year, as compared with
approximately $1,200,O0O In
the fiscal year 1916. 1t is
pointed out that when regula-
tion of grazing on the forests
began a low scale of charges
was adopted. During the last
ten years the value of the for
age TO the stockmen has ma
terially increased because OF
the improved methods of hand
ling the stock which have been
introduced.

ARKANSAS TROOPS
 ARRIVE AT DENYING
Camp Site Excellent and Officers and Men We'll PleaSed-Popu- lace Feel Better With More II. $. States Soldiers on Hand.

Deming, N. M., Aug. 13-Both regi- ments of the Arkansas National Guard cheered when they pulled into Deming tonight, and the populace cheered, too. The troops cheered because they were tired of their long ride and wanted to stretch. The populace cheered be- cause they feel better with more Unit ed States soldiers around.
 The four trains, two sections for each regiment, arrived within a few hours of each other, and the work of detraining and getting to the camp site was done with alacrity.
 The site is excellent, and Colonel Stroupe and the men are we'll pleased There is an abundant supply of water. The tents were erected in short order. and when taps was sounded the boys crawled under their blankets, which are needed here at night, and went to sleep, tired but happy.
 What will happen tomorrow is con- jectural. Many of the men are hoping to be with the first detachment that is sent out on patrol duty They want the experience of looking for real ban dits and keeping them on their own side of the border. Consequently, an immediate order for some of the troops to move south will be received with enthusiasm. The order is ex- pected to be forthcoming soon.

MORE MONEY CROPS.

One of the great needs in Arkansas is an increase in the number of money crops or in the sources of money in- comes. The farmer who depends on one crop is a gambler and is usually poor. To diversity too much is a mis- take because it leads to an unbalanced labor condition. But the farmer with from fifty to one hundred acres can well afford to consider the bush fruits, blackberries, dewberries, raspberries and gooseberries and also grapes as small crops to bring in cash during the summer. Then the poultry on every farm in Arkansas should pro- vide for much food and for much of the grocery bill. Every farmer should grow potatoes for his own table for twelve months and some to sell The Director of the Extension Division, University of Arkansas and U. s. De- partment of Agriculture, Fayetteville or Little Rock, is deeply interested in the problem of more money income for the average farmer He wants farmers and their wives to write him about these problems.

|. s. MEDIATION BOARD
 HAS EXCELLENT RECORD

Washington, Aug. 14.-The United States Board of Mediation and Con- cihation, which has just been called upon to prevent national railroad strike, has a fine record for the three years of it's existence. It has been successful in forty-seven labor dis putes, settling thirty-nine by media tion and eight by arbitration.
 The board was created by act of Congress on July 15, 1913. Its mem bers were appointed by President Will son three days later and they helped avert railroad strike that year.
 According to the act under which it was created, the purposes of the board are: "To settle by mediation. conciiation, and arbitration, all con- troversies concerning wages, hours of labor, or conditions of employment that may arise between any common carriers engaged in the transportation of passengers or property Gin inter state commerce) and by their em- ployes."
 The services of the board may be sought by either or both sides. Both sides must consent before it may act.
 Its members are William L. Cham bers, chairman; Martin A. Knapp and c. w w. Hangar.

SOUTH JUBILANT AS
 FIRST BALES" ARRIVE

Memphis, Tenn, August 14.-Re- ports from Georgia, Alabama, Missis- sippi and Tennessee show that cotton picking has been started in practi- cally every section of the country and that the first bale" has been received in large majority of the towns and cotton market centers.
 Arrival of the first bale" is always the signal for activity in the small town. The lucky farmer at dawn drives to the "court square" where he stands all morning while the mer- chants and townspeople crowd about his wagon, admiring the feecy staple, carefully "sampling" it and figuring out just the day and hour when the first bale was received last year."
 At noon the local cotton buyers ap- pear. An auctioneer mounts the wagon and proceeds to sell the bale at auction. Sometimes merchants con- tribute to fund to be used in paying as bonous for the first bale" Not infrequently as much as 25 or 30 cents pound is paid for the first bale," although cotton may not be worth more than 12 or 13 cents. Ar rival of the first bale" means that business is about to boom and that good times are coming in the rural southland. Because of an unfavorable season the crop will be short but the price will be high and the farmers are not complaining.

INTERNATIONAL IR-
 RIGATI0N CONGRESS
President Wilson Will Touch Golden Key That Will Start Waters Rio Grande Flowing
 Through Elephant Butte Dam

Fl Paso, Texas, Aug. 14.-When President Wilson touches the golden key which will start the waters of the Rio Grande flowing through the spill ways of the great Elephant Butte dam on October II, he will "bring in" 100000 acres of fertile lands in the chain of valleys in New Mexico, Texas and Old Mexico. The first meeting of the 23rd International Irrigation Con- gress will be held at the dam dedica- tion and followed by sessions in Fl Paso, Oct. Is, IF and IS.
 The Elephant Butte dam is a mass of concrete and steel thrown across the Rio Grande on the desert of New Mexico at the point where a great rock, formed like the head and body of mastodonic elephant, seems to drink from the Rio Grande This giant impounding dam has formed the largest irrigation reservoir in the world. More than 45 miles in length and s miles across, the lake stores the melted snows of the Colorado mountains and these life-giving wa ters are allowed to flow through the spillways of the dam when the land needs moisture for the growing sea- son, thus causing the desert acres be- low the dam to blossom and bear fruitage.
 "The dedication of the Elephant Butte dam by President Wilson on Oct. II will be an event of worldwide importance in the irrigation field," states James c. McNary, president of the First National Bank of Ell Paso and chairman of the Board of Control of the Irrigation Congress. Ut will mark the Reclamation Services great est achievement. It will reward the pioneer men and women of the lower Rio Grande valleys from Albuquerque to Old Mexico, and it will justify the faith of the people of the southwest who have staken their all on the fer tility of the soil and the ability of the project to carry the waters to the lands when most needed. Above all, it will be a perpetual manunent to the Irrigation Congress, which has been conducting great empire-build- ing campaign for the past twenty five years.
 We anticipate that Presiden. Will son will be accompanied by several members of his official family, includ- ing Hon. Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior, and probably other members of his cabinet; Hon. A. A. Jones, first assistant secretary of the interior; Judge Will R. King, chief counsel, and other members of the Reclamation Service"

ALL MARKETS STEADY
AT PORTLAND YARDS
Light Receipts of Cattle, Sheep and
Hogs Bring Steady Prices Last
Week.

Tuesday trading in the cattle divi-
sion was confined almost entirely to
feeders and spectators, says the Port
land Live Stock Reporter of Thursday
Everything changed hands early at
good prices considering quality of
stuff. There was a pretty fair de-
mand from various feeder buyers for
most any kind of cattle
AS was the cause of the day previ-
Gus, yesterday was short in the way Of
receipts, although there was quite ac-
tive trading There were a number of
cars of feeder stock bought up for
shipment east. There was nothing on
the market that would attract the at
tention of killers, but several sales of
medium quality stuff were made to
small killers at a little better price
than it would have realized on Mon
days market.
There is nothing doing in the cattle
yards today There is nothing in out
side of a string of stock cows The
yards are practically depleted of sup
plies, the surplus having been taken
by feeders the last few days. Consid
ering quality, they sold at very good
prices.
The liberal offering of hogs which
has been coming to the yards seems to
have checked for the present, presum-
ably on account of the harvesting
starting, which is taking up the time
of the ranchers There has been only
few mixed lots on the market the
last couple of days and sold at steady
prices.
Today offerings consisted of but a
couple of loads which sold at steady
prices The bulk of hogs sold at S905
and were of fair quality, although
there were no choice hogs here since
Monday.
OF the few head that have been here
each day everything was sold at steady
prices. All receipts were in small
punches and bulk was of medium quail
ity only. There is a good demand for
choice stuff:
