tho territory adjoining and facts for
the survey will be sent in at once.
Whether such bureaus are to be
placed In several cities throughout the
state or only In the congressional dis
tricts is not announced In the letter.
Pendleton is considered best fitted to
serve Eastern Oregon or the north
eastern part of the state at least and
"A strong bid will be made for the Of
flee.
According TO Mr.. Miller's letter. the
office Will be permanent and will be
manned by two or three persons all

taxes has been so broadened in scope
ms TO affect nearly every person and

Among those who went hunting

Mack fishes and he hunts. He US

Yesterday Mack climbed to the

And then Mack was left sitting
there on the mountain top with

48 HOUR WEEK IS
LIMIT FOR WOMEN

No woman in Oregon whose occu-
patton come under the jurisdiction Of
the state welfare commission except
undergraduate nurses will after Oc-
tcber IA be allowed 20 work more than
as hours a week.
Recent orders of the state Indus
trial welfare commission regulating
minimum wages and working hours
for women will go into effect on the
a bove date. The nurses will work un-
der a so hour a week basis and on
July 1, 1890, their schedule will be
reduced to 56 hours a week. Nurses
in st. Anthony's hospital are not work
ing much more than so hours a week
at present.
II is not probable that the new
regulations will create many changes
in the working hours Of women em-
ployed in Pendiston, because practi-
calIy all women workers work not
more than hours a day for days
a week.

OUR NEGLECT OF EDUCATION

The draft furnished unmistakable
evidence that we were neglecting the
education of the common people. Edu'
Gators for years had warned us that
our system of education and general
conditions of livelihood were so poor
that a majority of the children did not
get beyond the fifth grade in an age
when good education is essential to
individual prosperity and to maintain
ing democracy. The draft figures show
that 24.9 per cent Of our young men
of military service age not only do
not have fifth grade education but
cannot read and write.
Camp Lewis at Tacoma had the low
est percentage Of illiteracy according
to figures given out by the department
of the interior, and it's ratio was IL
out of every 100 examined. Camp
Greene in the South was highest with
37.s out of every 100. In total out OF
1,552,256 men examined at % camps
3S6,196 were unable to take simple
test in reading and writing. .~.
Surely America has an educational
problem of great magnitude. .-:.

An Aid to Local Milling.

The new North Dakota plan OF lend
ing money to farmers on warehouse
receipts for. grain, will do much to
promote local milling. With small
storage capacity the local mills are
handicapped in competition with the
milling combine which can buy In
early fall and store for the greater
part Of the year. Under the new sys-
tenn the farmer will hold his grain in
storage longer and SO even up the
prices over the year. The local and
nearby terminal elevators will not be
cleaned out early in the season. The
farmers, Of course, will reap great
benefit in not having to part with the
titles to their grain to get money for
the fall bills.

BIG POTATO YIELD.
Western Canada Man Raised Goa
Bushels on Two Acres.
He Thinks He Did Pretty Well, but
There Were Even Larger crops |
In the Neighboriaood-Live
Stock Men Prosper.

AS by-product the yield Of potatoes
on the farm Of Ben Pawson Of Coal
dale, Alberta, was som ewhat Of pay
ing proposition. Coaldale is In the
Medicine Hat district of Alberta. Med
icine Hat is place, pictured In the
mind Of many Americans, where the
weather man holds high carnival, and
when he wants to put little life OK
spirit into the people just moves the
mercury down a few notches. The
rascal has thus given Medicine Hat
rather unenviable place on the map.
But It isn't half as bad as it is pic
tured. Anyway, Ben Pawson likes 1t.
Last year he grew six hundred BUSH
uls of potatoes on two acres Of land
that had no special preparation, and
only the usual precipitation, or rain,
as the less cultured would call It.
When he couldn't work at his hay or
grain, because of the damp mornings.
lie gave them some attention. Ana
then evenings between supper and
chores and bedtime he gave them some
work. Anyway his yield was six hum
dred bushels, and he sold the whole
lot for $2S5. Ben is satisfied. Stili
there were larger yields than this In
the neighborhood.
If one might speak Of hogs in the
same breath in which you speak OF po-
tatoes, there is nothing IN the ethics
of literature that would create de-
barment. Taking advantage OF this
license 1t will not be out OF place 20
state that large potato yields are not
the only feature Of interest IN tnls
new and interesting country. Amongst
others hogs are having a good deal OF
attention. Not long ago, hogs reacheo
the $4,000 mark on the Calgary market.
II doesn't cost much to raise hog
md very little to bring him to weight
Of 200 pounds. Don't cost much! Ger
tainly not. But what about the man who
recently paid $3.50 for Duroc Jersey
Boar? That was all right That man
knew what he was doing. He was do-
ing what a great many other farmerS
in Western Canada are doing today.
He is acting on the old saw" thae
at costs no more to raise good crit
ter than q poor one." That Is the rea"
son that Western Canada Is looming
large in the live stock world. The oesr
is none too good. The same may De
said of horses, cattle, yes, and sheepe
too. The very best sires and dams
of the best breeds are purchased. Ano
while big prices are paid, 1t Is felt that
the demand for pure-bred stock az

The Dark Ages of Business Con
= tinue.

The rich oil fields of northern Louis.
lana are feeling the results Of the old
Standard Oil tricks because these
fields are operated largely by inde-
pendents. The trust refuses to handle
oil from these fields through the pipe
lines It controls and thus in time will
force the Independents out.
At the beginning f.1919 nearly 400
oil rigs were running in this district.
Today there are very few. Workers
have loft to secure employment in
other places.
Who said the dark ages OF business
were over?" ''If we do not have de-
mocracy in business, so-called political
democracy is a hollow shell. The right
to labor and produce is the most fun
