JAMES W1I.KOY.
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.

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.

The mutter of electing a superin
tendent to succeed Professor Hocken
berry, who gave the board notice
some time ago that he would not ap
ply for the school this year, came up
for discussion. The board went over
the recommendations of II applicants
but took no final action, though It
will, in all probability, at a meeting to
be held next week. The board Is of
the opinion that there wilt be a larger
list to select from at that time than If
action Is taken later In tho season,
