the share of the wage-earner in his labor.
Oregon manufacturing of woolens is shown by the census
returns to be as follows: In 1S89 there were eleven establishments
manufacturing woolen goods and eight in 1909. employing 672
people in 1889 and 469 in 1909. who received wages in 1889 amount
ing to $209,000 and $202,000 in 1909. producing values of $S93,000
in 1889 and $929,000 in 1909.
In 1889 the manufacturers added a value amounting to 43 per
cent, and in 1909 added 42 percent, as compared with 39 percent
added by the eastern manufacturers in 1889 and 86 percent in
1909. Of the total value the wage-earner received 23.2 percent
in 1889 and 21.7 percent in 1909.

N ALL OREGON in 1910 there were 2,699,135 sheep, producing
wool to the value of $3,434,409, and a consumption of mutton
aggregating 1,047,960 carcasses. Of the counties, Malheur came
first with 360,000 sheep valued at $1,719,232, followed by Umatilla
with 242,280 head, Wallowa with 224,161. Morrow
MALHEUR with 209.057, Grant with 202,073 and Harney 195,000.

and Europe they were
dawn of history. On this continent they were
introduced at Jamestown in 1609, and were first
.luken to Boston in 1633, while in 1910 there were in the - United
States 51,809,000, being some 10.000,000 less than in 1900.
i In central Asia, on the Pamir Plateau, at an elevation of 16,000
feet are to be found the largest wild specimens; one, the Ovis
Poli, being remarkable for its huge horns. On the west coast of
Africa are two distinct breeds of hairy sheep, and in theCameroons
IUto be found an extremely diminutive family, the ram standing
only nineteen inches at the withers.
In Great Britain the sheep has been brought to its greatest
perfection as a producer of mutton as well as wool, but the climate
Cf Australia is enabling that country to rival the old country, if not
to excel it
nf th rxst Fnclish breeds mav be mentioned the Southdown,
I V Shropshire, Lincoln and Cot3wold. The Merino is the most widely
X distributed of all breeds and produces the finest wool for all pur-
J ', poses. Great endeavors being made by judiciously crossing this
i i t hred with the best mutton breeds, it i3 likely that there will soon
b a race more profitable than any now known.
The Merino seems to thrive well in almost all countries, having
existed in England for more than 100 years, and i3 the foundation
of flocks all over the world.
The Merinos are a product of Spain and enabled that country
to excel in the production of fine fabrics until the Peninsular war;
they were introduced into Saxony in 1765 and developed into a
famous race, carried to Hungary in 1775 and France in 1776, and
by Danburton to Rambouillet in 17S6, there developed into a cele
brated race. In 1802 the first Merinos were brought into the
United States and in 1810 there were 4.000. imported; in 1842
Merinos were first sheared in Buenos Aires, coming from the
celebrated Rambouillet family, and were there crossed with the
Lincolns in 18S5, introduced into the Falkland Islands in 1S67 and
from there have passed over to Punta Arenas, where there is
unlimited pasturage.
strated; the tremendous volume of water now permitted to flow
unrestricted to the sea has a potential value hardly dreamed by the
present generation.
Instead of haphazard methods permitting the climatic condi
tions to decide whether the grower shall or shall not have a suc
cessful year, there will be inaugurated scientific management that
will bring results heretofore deemed impossible.
It needs but the determined searchers after homes and home
comforts to turn the two counties of Malheur and Harney into one
great livestock preserve.

IT is sincerely to be hoped that the next Noah who is compelled ;

the resting place of the ark, and not "Ara-I

descendant who still lives at the foot of the mountain, cultivating;
the same grape vine which produced the juice that gave Noah
such an awful headache.
Mark Twain in Innocents Abroad mentioned these descendants j
and said it wa3 indeed pleasant to meet with the lineal descend- j

A curious idea arises as to the significance of that olive branch ;

the ark being stranded on a mountain far above the line of vege-1

F THIS SUBJECT, worn threadbare by political economists
and would-be statesmen, there is but little to be said; the
democratic party stands committed to free wool and the leaders are
going to have it if they can. The question is, can those interested
bring the proper knowledge before the legisla
WOOL TARIFF, tors that will induce them to give U3 a fair and
just settlement of the matter; can they be j to put forth buds, leaves and twigs
made to see that any change that fails to give the consumer, the
wage-earner, relief i3 of no benefit to any but the chosen few who ;
are now getting the big profit; any reduction in the tariff on raw j
material under the present conditions will in no wise affect the :
i
price of retailed articles but simply presents these already wealthy :
manufacturers another slice to add to their already great gains. ;
Any tariff reduction that does not include the imported manu-!
factored article is only adding still more to the load already carried
by the poor of the country. j
However, let the growers of our county anticipate unfavorable J
action and by scientific preparation and conservation of our waiting:
resources give the wise plutocratic club members of Boston's,

S OF THE SHEEP, the use of wool for clothing far ante
dates any historical record in our possession. Owing to the
ease with which it may be spun into' thread and its comfort as
clothing it would be naturally one of the first fabrics used by man.
Different kinds of wool fabrics were spoken of by Pliny
WOOL. A. D. 23-79 and no doubt the magnificent robes of the
Queen of Sheba worn on her visit to Solomon were of
wool. When Sardanapalus collected his family and wealth within
the confines of his magnificent palace and destroyed all with fire,
it is probable that they were clad in gorgeous costumes made from
the product of the flocks.
The Romans introduced the art of spinning into the British
Isles and erected mills for manufacturing cloth with which to
clothe the army, and later the production of the Winchester looms
established the reputation of producing a fabric "spun so fine as to
be in a manner comparable with the spider's thread."

T IS A PESSIMIST, indeed, and an irrational stickler for defi

be wrong to deceive children with the Santa Claus myth. The
children's fairy tales, Mother Goose melodies, folk lore, aud tra
ditions of Santa Claus are the most de

deceive no one, harm no one and teach
nothing but good and the triumph of good over evil. Thus is the
fairy princess captured by the wicked Genii and rescued by the
prince from his cruel clutches with punishment and destruction for
the Genii even as in after life the Genii of wicked thoughts over
shadowing the sweet influence of the princess of right and justice
in the mind, is later overthrown and swept away by the power of
the prince of knowledge.
The delightful deceits of childhood resulting in nothing but
good for the child and grown-ups who partake in the loving de

Milton, the ghoulish and cruel punishment depicted by Dante, the
fantastic rhymes of Francois Villon, the grandiloquent words and
