On account Of this experience, Super

Car shortage continues to interfere
seriously with lumber shipments Ill the

The industry in Oregon and Washing

slightly better than 40 per cent of its
normal car requirements. The situation
has been serious for more than month
and with the season IS grain crop about

gets better.
1t is estimated that by reason of the
recent shipments strike in the north

"bad orders" cars has accumulated i'll

said to prevail III other parts of the

Early Indian Agriculture.

When the white men first arrived In
this country they found an aboriginal
population mainly sedentary and agri-
cultural. The Indians were mostly
farmers, peacefully disposed and dwell
Ing in villages. Predatory and unscrupu-
lous, after the manner Of his kind, the
intruding Caucasian drove them to war
and forced them to adopt rowing and
unsettled mode of existence.
Corn was their principal crop-a ce-
real unknown to Europe. How ex-
tensively they grew it may be judged
from the fact that in 1855 the British
destroyed 1900 acres of maize plant
ed by the Senecas.
The Indians Of pre-Columbian days
pursued agriculture on cooperative
plan. Large fields of corn We're made
up Of hundreds of individual fields.
The squaws stirred the fruitful earth
and planted the grain. At harvest
time the men and boys helped to gath.

Left the Secretary Guessing.

The following story Is told of the
late joaquin Miller, the poet of the
Sierras." A certain club desired the
poet to address an annual meeting
for which an elaborate program had
been prepared The secretary wrote
a letter to Miller, telling him Of the
purpose of the gathering and request
ing his cooperation. In due time
there came an answer from the poet.
1t was in his own hand and covered
four pages. In vain the secretary puz-
zled over the manuscript. He passed II
on to the president. the board of di-
rectors and the members In turn. but
all failed to decipher the scrawl. The
question before the club was, "Has
Miller accepted or has he declined?'
The secretary finally sent the follow
ing note to the poet: "My Dear Mr.
Miller-Your letter received, but
have been unable to determine wheth
er you have accepted or declined oul
invitation. If you will be present OF
the date mentioned, will you kind,
make a cross at the bottom of this
letter? II It will be impossible fol
you to appear, will you kindly draw .
circle?" In due time the letter CANE
back, but the secretary could not de
eide whether the poet had drawn
cross or a circle!
