A marked copy of which bas reached the Examiner: After caretul study ot the problem set forth in your telegram, were I graduating today trom college. East, West or South, I would head straight for the great undeveloped Northwest. I would buy my ticket for Portland, Oregon. I would spend my time first week in tbat splendid prototype of our old, conservative and intellectual but withall coursgeoua and bustling New England capital of a half a century ago. While in Portland I would haunt the reportorial departments of the daily newspapers, the ever welcoming rooms of the numerous business club and tbe booming departments of the great railroads and navagation lines center ing in the auperb Pacific metropolis. Then I would go right out and into the modern paradixe of happiness and dol lars, the virgin interior ot tbat wonder ful State, a world in itself, containing to spread and then lots more everything tbat makea health, hustle, prosperity and contentment for man, woman and child. It I were possessed of fliO.OOO to to $50,000 capital, in a twelvemonth I would telegraph back to Bradstreet and Dun to mark my rating $15,000, and then three twelvemonths later I ! would wire them to make it at from l half to three quarters of a million. If 1 1 had only my carfare, Bible, dictionary and fountain pen, I would aend word to the old folka to watch out for the Christmas coming of the old home mortgage lifter, and I would bet my pal dofg, for of course I'd bave blm along, against a pouch of tobacco that when Christmas came I wouldn't he making excuses for not coming East.

He advocated the establishment of a d monstration farm in each county under competent supervision, the superintendent to act as advisor to tbe farmers of bis district and to assist 'n tbe formation of rural organization for the improvement of educational, social and financial con- atitions. "In many foreign countries the value ! of demonstration farms and special agricultural educational work ia strongly in evidence," said Dr. Withy comte.

Tbia ia accomplished under ' adverse agricul tural conditions, much of the country being so bleak it ia necessary to blan ket the cowa in pasture to keep them comfortable in summer. "If such results can be secured un der such unfavorable conditions, what results might we not justly expect from a smillar system here in Oreeon where conditions for dairying and gen eral farming are so tavorable?
