The people of Oregon so far as they
have been informed on the subject,
will observe with astonishment and
dismay that the state senate has passed
the bill appropriating So, 500, 900 for
the Roosevelt Coast highway.
The house has a clear duty. That
duty is to defeat the bill. 1t is not
expected that it can pass on its merits !;
and the suspicion is justified that it
was permitted to go through the sem
ate as a compliment to its authors,
Senators Hall and Norblad, on the
assumption that it would be beaten in
the house.
Yet it is hoped by its promoters to
log-roll it to enactment. A combina-
tion with the irrigation interests is
suggested. Being suggested. the sug-
gestion should be resented and re-
jected. Cannot irrigation stand on its
merits, though the Roosevelt highway
cannoti But, whether it can or not, a
trade between the irrigationists and
the highway supporters cannot be ex-
cused nor justified.
Two years ago it was a military
highway, to be built, owned and main
tanned by the United States. Oregon
offered to give So, 500. 900. and no more
toward the project. Now it is claimed
that Oregon was to "match" the gov
ernment expenditure. 1t made no such
offer.
Now it is to be scenic and CONNER
cial road and Oregon is to build it
alone. How much will it cost? Who
knows? Not less than $40. 900, 900, and
probably more. 1t is bad business. -

! OublOUls more pOI6nL Indn any OIDSr
authority known to man, has decreed
that on Feb. IA. missives of love be
/ exchanged between lovers, or between
/ friends. The custom is very lovely
one, and one which has come to us
through the ages. Just why the ex-
change of pretty paper valentines"
or gifts should have arisen is hard to
say, for the reason cannot be found in
the life of Saint Valentine.
Briefly. the story of the origin Of st.
Valentines Day is that st. Valentine,
priest of Rome during the persecu-
tion of Christians, under Claudius ii,
aided by st. Marius, did noble work in
assisting the martyrs, for which he
was apprehended and sent to the pre-
feet of Rome. While in custody, the
saint performed a miracle of restoring
sight to the daughter of Asterius, and
as a result all the family became con-
verts to Christianity. After a year
of Imprisonment, st. Valentine was
brought before the prefect to renounce
his faith. He stood firm in his belief,
wheTeupon he was condemned to be
stoned and beheaded outside the gate
now called Porta del Popolo, but which
for a time bore the name Porta Valen-
TIM. This was about the year 2700.
st. Valentines name was early en-
rolled among the martyrs and was re-
tanned in the calendar of the Reform
ers when the Christian church became
divided.
Just why st. Valentine was chosen
the patron of Love seems a little OBJ
secure. Wheatly says: "He was a
man of admirable parts, and so famous
for his love and charity that the Gus
tom Of choosing valentines upon his
festival, which is still practiced, took
rise from these. DR.. Butler. in his
"Lives of the Saints, says: ITO
abolish the heathens' lewd custom of
BOYS drawing the names of girls in
honor of their goddess Februata Junu
on the l4th Of this month. several zeal
Gus pastors substituted the names Of
saints on the billets that were drawn"
and thus in the mutation Of time the
custom has grown which now takes
the form Of valentines. Portland /

TO ESTABLISH SHEEP FLOCK
Good Price for Ewes That Pro- duce Thrifty Lambs.

In establishing flock of sheep do not hesitate to pay good price for ewes if they are exactly adapted. and especially for those that, when judi clously mated. are likely to produce lambs that will give the best return for the food which they consume, It Is of the utmost importance to make use of rams that possess great individ- ual merit, and strongly inherit the good points hy which they are distin- guiShed. Unless a ram has good masculine head and stands firmly on strong legs he should not be selected. however great his merits may be in other respects. Breeding ewes should be kept in good store condition. Show condition and low condition both must be avoided.

Work Animals in Demand.

Pennsylvania and the states east and north do not produce one-fourth of the work animals they use and are constantly drawing on the Central West for their work stock. Many of these are farm chunks sold directly to eastern farms, while others are horses produced and worked on tlse farms of the Mississippi valley until five ar six years old, then passed to eastern cities, where after six or eight years of service they are resold as sorefooted city-worn horses to deal CTS, who sell them at very nominal figure to farming sections of New Eng land, to work the balance of their days. Such horses represent a com plete cycle from farms to cities and back to farms again. It is more true now than in the past, that the good horse or mule pays profit To the pro- duceT, the dealer and ultimate user, while the poor one loses money to all concerned.-EXchange.

COLT NEGLECTED IN SPRING
No One Considers That He Should Be Gradually Changed Over From
 Dry Winter Ration.

Consider the colt in the springtime Maybe he is yearling with a half formed equine mind full of curiosity and wonderment Every old horse on the place is off In the fields some- where at work in daylight. His owner neglects the colt as much as he can and have the youngSter live.
 The half remembered green fields and pastures of last year become green once more. The colt has vague memo rieS of the taste of green things that mingled on his taste-nerves with the flavor of mothers milk. From between the cracks in the post-and-plank fence that incloses his world he looks upon the sprnging grass, marvels and hungers. Part of his munger is plain hunger part is memory, and most of it is instinct, but it Is all very real.
 He Is lonely little hdeful of in- Stincts and cravings about to start his second year He is a bewildered or plan of the farm stalls and stables, accustomed to his corn and alfalfa. and with all the troubles of horsedom's life before him. About half the time no one considers that he should be gradually changed over from the dry winter ration to the soft green sum- mer ration, and when the change comes it comes so quickly that there is not a days time for that young horses stomach to get used to 1t.
 For long weeks the blow teams have been getting ready for the change. If they could not sense the spring in the air, In any other way they might know 1t from the gradually increasing amount of corn that is going in the feed boxes. They are being worked a little more and a little steadier than they were while January's snows still covered the pastures. The colt, though, goes his neglected way until some day after the oats are in and every blow moldboard on the place is like bur nished silver, then all at once some one decides it Is high time that the colt was on the pasture.
 On the pasture he goes. It may be just enough of pasture to keep life within his hide but he must get along with an occasional salting on sunny Sunday mornings. The grass may be thin and watery, tastelesS compared with that good alfalfa he has been
