house referred to by the Indians,
at Fort Astoria, so named in honor
of John Jacob Astor, the principal
proprietor.
Living at the Sort at that time
were five proprietors, nine clerks
and ninety artisans and canoe
men, or as they were commonly
called in the Indian country, voy-
ageurs. The party from the Beaver
numbered thirty-si so that the
muster roll, including officers and
men, amounted to one hundred and
forty
Among those on board the Beaver
was young Englishman, Ross Cox
by name. Being in New York about
the time of the sailing of the Bea-
yer, and hearing the exaggerated
reports of the wealth to be obtained
in the Far West, and captivated by
the love of novelty and the hope
of speedily realizing an indepen-
dence in the supposed Ell Dorado,
he set to work to secure a clerk
ship in the Astor Fur company, and
was so far successful that he was
one of those who embarked on
board the Beaver and made the his
torical voyage round the Horn
A man of keen observation, YER
satile talents, and a readiness to
make the best of all situations, he
made good use of the many OPP
potunities that came his way to
acquire a knowledge of the life and
customs of the various Indiaa tribes
among whom he Wintered, saw ma
ture in it's rudest and most savage
forms, and having assembled the
Columbia nine times and descended
it eight he was able to give an
accurate account of the river and
conditions on it's banks in those
early days.

CREATING GREATER DEMAND

Loss Of export markets and decreased domestic
consumption have Slapped the strength of the APP
lie industry but there is some hope that the
dition will improve rapidly, lowered production
having eased the export situation.
This should naturally result in higher prices,
but there is another remedy which must be under
taken before growers can be sure of favorable
prices: strengthening consumer demand in domes
tic markets. The prescription for this is advertis-
ing, and if an adequate program can be worked
out the apple grower faces more secure future.

PRODUCTION CONTROL

After quite few years of exceedingly low
prices for farm produce it is grand thing to
the potato growers, for one, receiving high price
for their crop. There is however, darker side to
the picture namely that the price is so high that
the consumers are forced to exclude potatoes from
their diets in favor of less expensive starchy veg
etables such as, for instance, rice, which is inn
ported from other countries.
This abnormal condition provides an excellent
background from which to consider the principal
of production control. 1t is less than year ago
that the Supreme Court found such measures UNI
constitutional when invoked by the government.
A short time prior to that Congress had passed
a measure designed to control the production of
potatoes
This latter act, assertedly conceived by a group
of New England potato growers, preclpltated a
storm OF controversy which was INDUCED In not
only by farmers and housewives but by indus
triaists and socialites There seemed to be
thing about the honely spud which called forth
the protective instincts Of all classes.
Since the Supreme Courts decision nullified the
act we can only regard it today in the light of
''what might have BEEN and wonder if the grow
ers situation would not have been improved had
it gone into effect.
There are those who will always consider the
law of supply and demand-when applied to ag-
riculture rather than to industry-as inviolable
as the law Of gravity. There those, too, who
consider any system of production control type
Of RECOMMENDATION odious in country where all
are free and equal
But the argument for a system Of production
control seems very logical, since such system
would insure adequate production well in
sure against production. Statistics have
shown that the potato grower receives the greatest
proportionate returns for his crop in years of
NAL production, rather than in years when pro-
duction is low and prices high
There is nothing more abundant than plans to
aid the farmer, but it is noteworthy that in the
past year it is number of sincere, far-sight-
ed farm leaders who have devised the majority
Of the plans, all Of them containing some method
of production control, to put agriculture less
these plans are worthy of consideration and per
haps within few more years. the best features
Of these be combined in a program which
UDuld be within the limits Of our constitution

dian canoe was discovered making
for the vessel, followed by a barge
in which were ten men.
The watchers on board the Beaver
waited with fear and trepidatlon
the coming of the visitors. The
canoe arrived alongside first; in it
was an old Indian, blind of an eye,
who appeared to be a chief, with six
others, nearly naked and, according
to the narrator, 'tke most repulslve
looking beings that ever disgraced
the fair form of humanity"
They were received on board and
told those who greeted them that
the men in the barge were white,
like the sailors, and that they had
a house on shore.
Soon the barge came alongside,
and any misgivings that those on
board may have had were quickly
dissipated when they found that
their visitors were Duncan Nc
Dougau and Donald McLennan, the
first named a partner and the lat
ter a clerk of the Pacific Fur COM
pany, with eight Canadian boatmen.
They informed the men on board
that the day previous they had re-
ceived intelligence from the Indians
that a ship was off the river, and
that they had come down from the
fort, distance of twelve miles, to
Cape Disappointment, hoisted a
flag, set fire to several trees in lieu
of a light house, and fired off the
cannon.
It was a joyful meeting, and as
the voyagers were anxious to reach
land, Mr.. McLennan, who was we'll
acquainted with the. channel, took
charge of the ship as pilot, and at
half past two pm. they crossed the
bar and shortly after dropped an
Choir in Bakers Bay, at the mouth
of the river, after a tedious voyage
of six months and twenty-five days.
They had sailed from New York on
the 18th of October, 1911, and after
travelling over twenty thousand
miles, had reached their goal.
On their way to land they were
informed by Mr.. McDougall that the
old Indian who had come out in
the canoe was the principal chief
of the Chinook nation, whose land
was on the northern side Of the
river near it's mouth, that his name
was Conconaly, and that he was
much attached to the whites. A pres
emit was made to him and some
small articles to his attendants,
after which they left the vessel.

curely moored the party took leave

II would like to know upon
what basis endocrine analyses are

It has been demonstrated, I
think, beyond doubt by researches
of the last five years, that the en-
doctrine glands have a very cOnsid-
cradle influence on the physiology
cal and psychological balance Of
the body.
AS to the question upon what
basis endocrine analyses are made,
take it this means how is a dag
nosis of endocrine disease made. 1T
is made just as any other diagnosis
Is made-the glands are known to
produce certain changes In the
physiology of the body-when such
changes are observed and other
diseases are ruled out, it is as
sumed that a specific disease is
present.
To go into more detail, a dag
nosis of endocrine disease is based
on the primary assumption that
these glands influence growth, nu-
triton, development and sexual
and reproductive functions par
ticularly. They affect mentality
and personality only secondarily.

ers. The Chinese have notably
lower blood pressures than other
races. Some students ascribe this to
the fact that they lead a more placid
existence. Others to the fact that
they live upon a vegetarian diet.
Since within recent years their stra-
tegic position in world affairs has
forced a more strenuous life upon
them. and commercial contact O
more varied diet, we will be able to
test both of these theories by re-
survey of Chinese blood pressure.
Many theories have been advanced
to account for rise in blood pressure.
The nervous. tension OF American life
has been brought forward to account
for. it's prevalence among our citl-
zens. High pressure living makes
high. pressure of the blood. On an
other theory. there is spasm of the
arteries due to too much secretion
from. the adrenal glands. Their Sc
erection is adrenalin, and we know
that. it does rise the blood pressure
by constructing arteries. -
But none Of these explanations
completely covers all the facts. The
only thing which does cover them is
that as age advances the arteries
lose their elasticity-they harden, in
