'The operations will probably be SEN

Upon this hint l looked up Shenstone
In the "morgue," as we call the great
collection of clippings arranged in en-
velopes and carefully catalogued that
every important newspaper keeps for
reference. There was an envelope
marked "Shenstone, Edgar, Broker"
but its contents were disappointing. l
was particularly grieved to learn that
we had no portrait, and after various
unsuccessful attempts to procure one |
sent a photographer to snapshot Mr..
Shenstone, but he failed.
In the course of that week a writer
named Sidney Colbert called to see me
and asked for work. He was a genius
in his way. but entirely useless on a
newspaper. His vocation was litera-
ture, and he had written some very
good stuff that had been printed in the
best magazines, but he had no money
sense, no push and no aptitude for en-
during poverty.
/ don't know how it happened, but
somehow in the course of breaking to
Sidney the sad news that he must con-
tinue to starve because neither the
Daily Record nor any other human in
stitution had any use for him l men
toned the unsuccessful search for
S~henstone's portrait. Thereupon Sid
ney fell into deep thought. The fur
rows by which his handsome cOunte-
nance was wrecked and riven became
positively painful to behold, and he
maintained SO long a silence that l be-
gan to think of ways to be rid of him.
Suddenly he said:
81 can get you a likeness of Mr..
S~henstone." And then, with earnest
ness. IF l give you my word hat 1

"Well?"
II suppose he said in gasp1ng des-
peration, "that you might be willing to
pay as much as So for the portrait,
and it,
"Oh. Sidney" said l. "why don't you
get a business manager? Five dol

SIS it too much?"
1 laughed aloud.
"Here's an expense order for ten"
said l. Bring me a good picture be-
fore 6 o'clock tomorrow afternoon and
I'll give you fifteen more. If you had
any sense you could get fifty out of
me-"
But this was lost upon Sidney. The
whole machinery of his intelligence,
that great and delicate and wonderful
structure, was busy with a bit of pa
per which bore the printed heading,
"Petty Expense Account"
'Thank you," said he.
And he fled away to the cashier.
That evening In a restaurant 1 saw
him entertaining a very pretty girl at
dinner. He beckoned me to join them,
and | passed an hour in their company.
Though the conversation avoided per-
sonal topics, l learned in other ways
than by the spoken word that he was
very much in love with her and she
with him. She was a fine example of
the pure blond type now hurrying to it's
extinction, and he was socially and in
d~ividually suitable to be her mate, but
neither was in the smallest degree fit
for the battle of life today.

The New Age.
The year 1888 may be taken as the
beginning of the new age in the Pa
cific northwest. In 1880 the old ore
gon ocuntry-occupied already at that
time by the state of Oregon, the terri
tories Of Washington and Idaho, and
a portion of Montana-had a total
population of only 2S2,500. In the
next decade it gained an addition Of
465. 900 From 1890 to 1900, in spite
of the hard times, the gain was $780,

amounted to l.146,93S for the three
states of Oregon, Washington and Ida
no. leaving out of account western
Montana. which also belongs to the
region. The total population of the
three states named was, in 1910, in
round numbers, two million. one hun
dred thousand, of which Oregon had
672,765, Washington 1.141,99O, and

Summary of Political History.
The territory of Washington was set
off from the ORIGINAL OREGON in 1S62,
While Idaho territory was created from
territory formerly embraced in Ore
gon and Washington in 1863. Oregon
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1917-09-22

became a state in the union in Febru-
cry, 1859, under a constitution adopted
hv a convention held at Salem in Au-
gust and September, 1857. This con-
stitution remained unchanged in any
way until the adoption in 1901 of the
initiative and referendum. Since then
many changes have been adopted by
popular vote.
Great interest attaches to the de-
velopment, within little more than "A
decade OF so-called "OregOn system"
of government. one OF the most com
pletely democratic systems in vogue
anywhere in the world. Some of its
features, aside from the initiative and
the referendum, are a system of direct
nomination of candidates for office. "A

in the sands of various streams and
these signs being followed up it soon
developed that most of the streams

points in their lower courses.

near the mines were used for farm

called inland empire was wrested from
savagery and brought within the pale
of civilized life. OF course. great
areas were still unsettled. as they are
today. but firm beginning had been
made.
The Age of Railways.
One of the most pressing needs
both east and west of the Cascades,
was railways to transport agricultur-
al products to seaboard. to connect
the scattered settlements to one an
other and give the whole region
sense of oneness with the rest of the
United States. We can not go into
the beginnings of Pacific railway his

I tury of discussion, the first transcon-
tinental railway, the Union Pacific
and Central Pacific, was completed In
May, 1860. It gave a great impetus
to the development of California but

is no check in the growth of potted

the work may be done at any time
morning or evening, wet or dry wealth

ing roots together and prevents them
from becoming broken.
Several weeks may be gained by
starting many Of the flower and vege-
table seeds in boxes in the house.

FOR THE AMATEUR GROWER
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

Flowers should have n friable, very
fertile soil in which to grow. They
often make brave display in rather
poor soil, but they appreciate good
care.
Do not plant flower plants too close
together. Verbenas should be at least
IS inches apart; petunias the same;
phlox foot; pansies 10 inches; zin-
Mas IS inches; marigOld 2 feet; pop
pies 10 inches. If flowers are too close
in the bed they will not make thrifty
growth nor will the flowers be as
large and plentiful.
Keep flower beds out of the center
Of the lawn. They show with better
effect If used as borders for walks
and around the sides of the lawn.
Do you want a soft, thick turf on
your lawn? If so, NOW often with a
lawn mower and let the clippings lie
where they fall. They will soon settle
In the grass and after awhile they
will make a cushiOny soft coat, which
keeps the soil from drying out too
much, and fertilizes it as they decay.
If the lawn is little bumpy, fill the
depressiOns little at time with a
| fine garden soil. Put half an inch of
soil on at a time, and let the grass
grow through it before putting on any
more. In this way lawn can be
made smooth in the course of season
or two without being torn up and lying
bare for months.
Do not plant shade trees too near
| the house. Give the air a chance TO
| circulate round and through the house.
Set the trees so as to shade windows
during the hottest hours, if you want
them shaded, but never close enough
to prevent the air from entering the
windows freely.
1t Is a mistaken idea that ivy vines
keep the house damp. They KEEP
it dry, as the little suckers, which
cling to the walls, suck the moisture
them.
AS soon as the pOtted plant fills the
pot in which ii is planted with roots
give them larger pot or prune il
down and prune the roots so as tC
make fewer of them. Unless this is
done the plant soon becomes pot
bound and begins to deteriorate.

For general excellence and all-arOund
wearableness nothing ever surpassed
the coat of covert cloth. 1t is a sturdy
aristOcrat among coats, and therefore
returns to us each year along with the
robins and other early promises of
springtime. Its color and texture and
stability give ii an assured class and
all that is needed to make its success
each year is good style in designing.
COatmakers understand that designs
must harmoniZe with fabrics. Coats of

seem just the prettieSt of all ways of
finishing them and there are any
number of frilly models to choose
from. Small flowers and fruits and
narrow ribbons IN velvet or satin, in
trimmings that set close to the shape
are very much at home on hats Of this
kind.
More often than not, the flowers or
sprays of small fruits, are set close
against the sides of the crown in hats
of this kind. But the model shown in
the picture is one OF those in which
wreath of tiny leaves with occasion

The side crown is slashed to allow
short lengths of ribbon to be drawn
