bined cost of the ships in line is estimated
at $125,000,000. and three-fourths of
them have been built since our war with
c.nain. Our entire navv at the close of
last year consisted of 527 ships of all
classes, manned by 33.000 officers and
men and carrying a marine corps of 6,000.
"Speak softly and can y a big stick and
you will go far." said Poor Richard. Our
"big stick" is the third largest in the
world, ana we are spe-king in very soft
tones indeed. One year ago the sc.ftness
of those tones ended the v,a; between
japan and Kussia. Secretary Koot has
been carrying those soft tones to the. Re-J
publics of South America. And Presi
dent Roosevelt's soft tones recently sus
pended the fighting in Cuba within forty
eight hours.
COOD BYE. STATE FARM
The dairying interests of this state are
developing rapidly. There is no question
but what the prevailing low prices on beef
cattle has had much to do with this.
Ere long the turkeys will begin to roost
high and they will be the only creatures
who will not have abundant cause for be
ing truly thankful this season.
A few years ago there was much agi
tation throughout the country as to what
we should do with our ex-presidents.
Since President Roosevelt has manifested
a desire to represent New York state in
the United States senate, it has been sug
gested that New Jersey sendex-president
Cleveland to the senate, thereby solving
the much discussed subject.
In view of the fact that that section of
the country known as the Panhandle,
which was formerly a portion of Union
county, is becoming notorious for criminal
depredations, the substantial taxpayers of
this county have much to be grateful for
in the fact that they will not be calledup
on to pay taxes for the expense of the
many trials.
Next January is the time for the text
books in the schools 1.0 be adopted. There
are complaints of the phyology, histories
and some others no m use and it is
understood teachers "id superintendents
generally will uri;e a few changes. Tne
agents 0: tne oook concerns are now
swarming througii the state in the effort '
to work in their books. The commission .
consists of Harvey W. Scott, of the Ore
gonian; William M. Ladd. of Portland;!
Charles A. Johns, of Bauer City; William !
M. Colvig. of Ashland, and President j
Campbell of the State University. The'
commission was appointed under the Daly j
law by Governor Geer. and after four j
years was re-appointed without change I
by Governor Chamberlam. j
Notwithstanding the high efficiency of
the state experimental farm at Union it
seems that the farm is doomed to be
abandoned and sold to private purchasers,
says the East Oregonian.
"For the past ten years or more, that
farm has been the pride of Eastern Ore
gon, on the black loam of Union, it has
produced a marvelous variety of crops
and while it was conducted on business
principles by Professor Leckenby, it was
a model of neatness, system productive
ness and beauty.
But since the appropriation to sustain
it was held up by the referendum it has
fallen away piecemeal. The livestock has
been sold. The cropshaveheen curtaiUd.
The experiments have been abandoned.
A meeting of the board of regents will
be held in Union in a few days to d.spose
of it finally.
It is new a standing joke in the Grande
Ronde valley, as to whether Walter Perce
of Hot Lake, or Tom Wright of Union,
will get the biggest slice of it when :t is
sold."
While it is true that during the interim,
that all of the state appropriate -.s Aeie
held up. the usual degree of prcf.c;er.cy cf
maintainance was not kepf up. bt sr.ee
the necessary funds are avanao.e there
should bene occasion to discontinue tr-.e
station. It has accomplished much and
will continue to be of great advar.tae to
this portion of the state.
