The agriculturalists generally will rejoice to know that President Tsift lias retained Secretary lit Agriculture James Wilson, under whose direction this department for the last 12 years has advanced so much. In 1897 Pres. ldent McKlnley offered this portfolio to Mr. Wilson, who was not a stranger to the people at large, nor to his for mer constituents of the great state of Iowa. Secretary Wilson was born in J535 In Scotland, coming to this coun try with his parents In 1S"2. Tn 1R."" the family settled In Iowa, where he , soon became active In politics and served in the Iuwa legislature for three consecutive terms, and follow ing this, served as congressman for ' three terms and at the time of his first appointment was n director In the Jowa Agricultural college. President l?oosfvett reappointed him, and now, although at the age of 7 4 years'. Presi dent Toft officially says that for four years more he must rem Tin at his post f duty. Secretary Wilson has seen scorco of changes In the cabinet ros ter, he alone remaining. r.wiiM-rr iiangks. President Il.iosevelt has had three secretaries of state, .Mr. Hay, Mr. Hoot and Mr. ltacon.

Political aspirations ore buddlnK. and the campaign of B. F. Mulkey for congress In the First dis trict, "-ems to be in full bloom. Con gressman Hawley is a strong man, and Mr. Mliskey shows that he has stiffl- ;.. r-ent;itiv successful. !n .'.i.-5e he nhntiH he No one can read President Taft's In augural address without feeling that there is little If any danger of the high standard which has been main tained during the past seven years be ing continued and It Is quite possible that greater advancement will be made during the next four years than In the past four. In fact, this is to be jxpected. The demand for Pacific coast eggs is once more this year In excess of the supply. With our Increasing popula tion, which in a like proportion in creases the demand for poultry prod ucts, should attract extensive Invest ments In poultry yards. California seems 'to lead Oregon In the poultry business, however, the prices are as remunerative here as there. We no doubt will have reason to be lieve that the tariff should be turned over to a non-partisan commission composed of business men, with capa city sufficient to do justice to all our Industries before congress concludes its labors at the special session to' be called on the 15th of this month. There can be but little question but that President Tuft with his years of experience in the Philippines, and his genral knowledge of our needs, will advocate adequate protection of the Pacific coast from both army and rlavy. , ITI.I-: DATA WITH ENGINEER.
