Congress has passed some sort of a food con trol bill. If it catches the speculator well and good, otherwise no relief is in sight. The popularity of "canning the kaiser" con tinues to spread. Siam, called a heathen nation, is the latest to throw its hat into the ring. We feel quite safe in prophecying that despite a dry spell of unusual length the Willamette Valley will make a splendid showing when the crops are harvested this fall. After reading the newspapers, we can if we wish, believe that Germany is paying all the members of the 1. W. W. sixty dollars a month and expenses to raise hell. It is our hope, and we believe the hope of every American citizen who has not gone war mad, that not a single man drawn for service last week will ever get a chance to fire a gun. The Russians are up to their old trick. Last week they went forward and drove the enemy back fifty miles. This week they retreated in disorder and gave up all they had gained. The Portland News would "hang on the tree of Haman every thieving traitor who would fatten by the extremity of his country." We suppose that if it was inconvenient to get to the tree of Haman , a telephone pole would do just as well. A New York chemist, who has been experi menting with hay in an effort to ascertain if it is fit for human consumption, reports that it will do. Among the possibilities of the near future will be to sit down at the table and ask somebody to pass the hay. A few days ago, Thomas Edison remarked that "all rebellious elements are now under control", and he hasn't said anything since, but when Thomas locks himself up in a room with an electric battery and a few wires, another wonder ot the world is being developed perhaps an anti dote for the submarine. We presume that Germauy could hold out for a number of years against the world if its people are determined to fight to the last man, but it is hard to think that a nation would do this when by turning against its blood craving rulers, a peace could be secured that would be as honorable as could be expected under the circumstances. Several months ago, a Chicago paper sought to discomfort the poets by offering a prize for the shortest poem on "The Antiquity of Microbes." It held most of them, but Strickland Gillilan, author of "Off Ag'in, On Ag'in, Goue Ag'in, Finnigin", won the prize by condensing all the authentic information regarding the antiquity of microbes into two lines, as follows: "Adam Had 'em."

Countaaa Sophia Will Help Charltabla and Social Institution. I'etrograd.-Jn a workman's hlouse and a leather skirt Countess Sophie Tallin has already taken up the office of assistant minister of social tutelage, a department of state with the func tion of administering tbe charitable and aix'lal Institutions and also tbe rare of children.

She declined tlmt her staff of officials will consist for the must part of women. Hhp hopes that her appointment will be the slgnul lor the transfer of social Institutions In other countries Into the hauda of women. RAVEN CATCHES COINS. London Miaarly Bird Saiiaa Monay and Aftarward Hidea It. Iondon. i:eu a raveu has bla likes and dislikes At the Cardiff barracks there Is ouu M-iyeant for whom tbe bird (sent home by the Second Welsh regiment some years ago) bcara a pos itive dislike When the gentleman in khaki with three stripes comes along the raven retires with a hop, a skip and a Jump to a safe distance of twenty yards. When the sergeant moves off the ra veu returns to the spot he retreatiHl from, but If his pet aversion should turn he gels ready to ncive off avail! The dislike wii evidently created by teasing, for the sergeant often gives the sable bird his dinner. The raven is very fond of playing with a coin. If a person drops, say, a shilling It is caught In the bird's beak before the coin eau reach the ground. Then, having secured his tuouey, the black old miser seeka an early oppor tunity to hide it.

Marstifleld, Ore On the spot where the treaty of Empire wits signed Aug. 80, 1855, between the United States government and the coast Indians, In cluding the Coos, I'mpqua and Siuslaw tribes, the remnants of those aborigines met at Empire and sat In council to consider the settlement of their claims against the United Suites government The council was called to provide a chief for the Indians of tlie tribes men tioned, the last recognized chief, Bob Burns, who was a Coos, linvlug died five or six j curs ago. Until the at tempt hy (Jeiirge Wasson. a Coos de scendant and a graduate of Carlisle, to secure for the constat tribes a set tlement of their claims, there has been no apparent reason for a chief, for the remnants of tbe tiilies were scattered and without concentration. When the treaty of Empire was dug from the dusty tomes of tbe Congres sional llhrary and department of tbe Interior, congressmen who were fair minded toward Indian claims ordered an investigation, which, to be present ed in legal form, demanded the elec tion of a chief and credentials for the three tribes who were signatories to the treaty. The government after twenty years lent special agent to their last gov ernment "corral" at Vachats to sign another treaty, but the Indians are In sisting upon their rlghtB under the original treaty. The claims set up by tbe three tribes represent something over $12,non.(XtO. They believe that they can effect a settlement within the next two years. No collections, no expense.
