MEN I'ltOM THE FAllM. A Urcat Majority Of Farmers in New Oregon Legislature. The Oregon Legislature of 1905 is a widely representative body, not only in the geographical location of its mem bers, as the law requires, but also in their occupations and business interests. Though this is primarily a lawmaking body, only 14 of its members are law yers. Farmers, who constitute the greater proportion of the population, have also the greater proportion of Rep resentatives, there being 20 farmers in the two Houses of the Legislature. If the five stockmen be classed as farmers, the agricultural classes have more than one fourth of the members of the Leg islature. The business interests are represent ed bv five bankers, nine merchants and seven lumber manufacturers. Six doc tors and two druggists will be at Salem next winter to look after legislation that particularly relates to the health of the state. Almost every business and in dustrial interest is represented, and it would be difficult to propose any legis lation bearing upon a subject regarding which no member could speak from knowledge gained by experience. The occupations of the members of the Legislature are as follows: Farmers, 20 Senators Croisan, of Marion, and McDonald, of Union and Wallowa; Representatives Calvert, of Marion; Ritchie, of Marion, Cornett and Munkers of Linn, Edwards of Lane, Jackson and Von der Hellen of Jackson ; Carter, of Benton, Fawk of Tolk, West, of Tillamook, Barnes, Flint and Newell, of Washington; Bramhall and Jaggar of Clackmas, Kuney and Burgess of Wasco.

The average race of 1903 was run a half second faster than in previous seasons. Years ago when the Suburban and the Brooklyn handicaps were created, they were intended primarily to be endur ance races, in which horses should tako up strong weights and run a respectabla route at a moderate pace, says Outing. W once called those handicaps "dis tance" races. Now they are "sprint" races-nothlng less than that. The pac is terrific. Five years ago horses sprint ed six and sovon furlongs. Last sum mer they sprinted a mile and a quarter, taking the popular handicap routes at a pace that not many years ago would have been that of a quarter horse. The first of the great handicaps Is the Metro politan, a mile at Morris Park in May. Only those horses that are especially forward" in their preparation may start. So early In t he year no great deed is anticipated In the Metropolitan, and yet the running in the season that has Just passed was remarkable for the pace. William C. Whitney's splendid four- year-old Gunfire was the winner after a terrific struggle, during which theclipset by the front runners was a strain of the most trying sort. Alternately Gunfire. carrying 108 pounds, and Old England were leading with no great distance sep arating them at any time. With the field close at their heels they ran tlw first furlong in 12 3-5, the first quarter of a mile In 24 seconds, the three fur longs In 35 1-5 seconds, and the half mils in 48 2-5, the five furlongs in 1:00 4-5, the six furlongs In 1 : 14 3-5, and the full mile out, Gunfire beating Old England by a length and a half In 1:38 3-5. PROBLEM OF DRY FARMING. Atfrlenltnral Department Has Hehente for H&lalnK Planta With out L'ee ot Water. It is probable that in the near future It will be possible to raise good crops without either natural or artificial irri gation. As Is apparent to everyone, even th most literal system of irriga tion reclamation wiil not exhaust the available arid and semlarid regions of the west, aa even when irrigation has been applied to its utmost limits there will remain some millions of acres of fertile land that adjoin these reclaimed waste. The lands lie principally be tween the one hundredth and the oua hundred and twentieth meridians and comfriae area over which there is a deficient rainfall, with no available neighboring louroea of supply which might be brought to them even by ca nals. But the department of agriculture ha other resources to fall back upon. If the customary crops require water why not develop new crops that can be grown dry? This, in substance. Is the problem the bureau of plant industry has set for Itself. Dry land farmirg or "dry farm ing" Is the name of this unique scheme. Just now the world is being Eearched for industrial plants that can sustain life and mature crops with a minimum of water and an elaborate life study of all such planta is under way. International Telephone. Great activity is now being dis played in the extension of interna tional telephones. Hrnswels and Lon don and Paris and Kmno are nlrendy connected. Negotiations are now in progress between the Russian and German government to still further enlarge the area of international telephone by a direct, line connect ing St. Petersburg and Herlin.
