WORDS OF WISE MEN There Is a vast dllTereiiee between Information and Ulcus, and the man of InfiU'limtlon may be useful like n die- tionary, but may never bo u force lu the community. Great men not only know their busi ness, hut they usually know that they know It, and lire not only rlKht In lhelr main opinions, hut they usually know that they arc right In them. If you desire not to he too poor, de sire not to he too rich, lie Is rich, not who possesses much, hut who covets no more, aud lie is poor, not who enjoys little, but he who wants too much. He who thinks that he can find with in his own breast that which may en able him to dispense with the whole world Is much mistaken, but ho who tbliiks4luit the world cannot do with out hint is still more mistaken.

' r v v J ! n 4 4 Portland people are calling for the savingof all tin foil, which, comes around tobacco packages, candy etc., foe the benefit of the Der. Cross so ciety. Receptacles have been placed in many prominent places, and lied I Cross agnts make the collections. In lms worK tnev arc assisted by many u misier companies., inis tin foil is vuluablc to the government in making certain classes of war munitions. ' In La Grande it has long been the custom to save tin foil for the use of the Red Cross,, and there are recep tacles in almost every prominent place in the city. I5AL-EM, Aug. 10. George F. Rod gers, shipbuilder of Astoria, and for mer mayor of Salem, wants to use cenvicts to bui!(l ships. In a letter received by the state of board of con tro ton oldyesdgrR und S",W299,aIa trul tadqy Rodgers states that he is satisfied that free labor would not object to convicts working in the yards, and he states he is willing to give full pay for their services. At least five days ahead of the of ficial date of launching under the contract, the steamer Western Plains was floated by the Columbia River Shipbuilding Corporation at- -4:13 o'clock Friday afternoon in Portland, milking the ninth of the 8800-ton type to leave the ways there, eight of which were set ufluat since January 1, the corporation keeping up its record of one each month. R. E. Clunton, master fish warden of Oregon, was chosen president for the year of tho I'isclllc Coast Fish Hatchery Association at its session in tile Imperial Hotel in Portland Friday. Other officers named are: Vice-President, J. A. Talbot, fish worden-at-large in Oregon; secretary, II. C. Mit chell, superintendent of the U. S. Bu-' reau of Fishermen; treasurer, J. N.

Wilson, Dennis Winn anil F. W. Smith. Wheat production in Washington this season, as estimated on the con dition of tile crop August 1, promises an increase of 11,1 17,000 bushels over Inst year, uccoiding' to the monthly crop report of the bureau on crop esti mates of the department of ngricul- tuie here, made public tonight by E, T. Marchetti, Ii field agent. While winter wheat shows a falling of from last year of 1,-1:15,000 bushels, spring wheat shows a corresponding increase of 4,552,000. This season's entire wheat crop for the state is estimated at S2,.'i:j5,000 bushels, of which 0,4:15,000 is winter wheat and 22,012,000 spring wheat. Some one has made a mistake that bids fair to cost the people of Pen dleton a considerable sum of money, whichever method is followed.

This reduction wus made with the under standing, either implied or understood, that the gravity system and the for mer pumping system would bo used in conjunction for fire protection, nnd not because of the gravity svstcml only. , j As time went on the council per mitted tho pumping system to fall into disuse, and recently the electric motor, which was the property of the Pacific Power & Light Co., was taken out und sent over to Pasco, Wash., where this company owns the water plant. Giving as reasons that fire condi tions in the forests are extremly haz ardous and that every available man ii needed for war industries and for harvesting the crops, timber owners and lumber operators have asked Gov ernor Witliycombe to suspend the hunting season until climatic condi tions make disastrous fires ir::possibU. The season opens August 15. Shippers of exhibits to the state fair' j will be allowed to transport them in one direction free, under a concession received from the railroad administra tion, through Senator McNary, accord ing to announcement made by Secrc .tary Lea, of the slate fair board. Here tofore the Southern Pacific has trans ported the exhibits free both ways, und, with that exception, the conces sion granted' places the shipments on the same basis as they have been in the past. The railroad administration recently issued orders forbidding nil shipments for state, county or city purposes free. This also covered ship mcnts for charitable and exhibition purposes. Shippers of purebred ani mals also may ship them at relense valuation, rather than nt full valua tion, Mr. Lea stated. Women Soldiers In China. China had women soldiers long be fore they were known In Russia. Dur ing the Tae Ping rebellion, IS-TO, women as well as men served In the ranks. In Nanking, tn 1853, an army of 500.000 women wns recruited. They wero divided Into brigades of 1. '1,000 eni'h and were commanded by women olllcers. , , Poet's Many Qualities.
