Oregon Blue Book for 1913
19M. Probnbly no publication in the
state hns aroused a greater de
mand than this Blue Hook and
Ofllcial Directory, issued by the
Secretary of State. It 13 an
ofllcial handy reference book for
the man of affairs, and in addi
tion is sought by hundreds of
school children and teachers in
all parts of Oregon. The book
gives in brief and handy form
facta relative to the functions of
every foreign, federal and state
dopartmentopcrnting in tho state
including all the state officials,
departments, boards, coirintis
sinna. Uafo1TuTtlttrtlonsytto

miscellaneous information.

Bain-The Last King of Po
land. Poland, originally tho most
chivalrous, high spirited and
promising of Republics, had, by
tho end of the 18th century, be
come a nuisance to her neighbors,
and an obstacle to tho develop
merit of her own people. The
central figure in this sinister yet
engrossing tableau of a decadent
nation dancing carelessly toward
its doom, is naturally the last
King of Poland. There are few
more pathetic figures in modern
history than Stanislaus Ponia
towski, whose dazzling vices and
barren virtues were so typical of
the age in which he lived, that
"Age of Enlightenment" which
pfophesnd the Millenium, and
precipitated the Revolution,
Finiiemore Delhi and the Dur
bar. Delhi, the mistress of India!
How long has the wonderful old
city of Delhi borne, this proud
title?
No man knows, Go back to
the dawn of written history, and
then grope your way still farther
back and back through the dim
age of fable into the dusk of
earlier tradition, and you will
find it ever the same. In the
Indian mind, whether that of
soldier, priest or peasant, there
is one unchanging belief:
He who holds Delhi holds India.
The great Coronation Durbar
at Delhi has focussed general at
tention on the famous 'old Indian
city, and the restoration of the
capital of India from Calcutta to
Delhi has deepened the interest.
The first part of this little book
gives a short sketch of the story
of Delhi, showing its importance
in Indian history, and touching
upon a few chief events in its
wonderful past The second part
gives an account of the Great
Durbar. The ceremony was of
great importance at the moment;
it will certainly loom greater in
the future when it will be found
how deep have been its results
on native feeling in India.

Used Common Sense
The transportation industry is
affected the Bame us any other
industry by the increased cost of
materials and labor. This fact
is frequently overlooked in the
various arguments used to pro
mote rate reduction campaigns
nnd lessened fares. During the
period in which both material
and labor have gone up more
rapidly than any other the reve
nue per unit of ton or mile from
freight and passenger tarIic on
tho steam roads, lias been reduc
ed. The railroads ought to be
regulated, but any regulation
should be fair. Tho citizens
who have joined in u petition to
the railroad commission of Ore
gon recently against reduction of
rates on tho intcrtirban trolley
systems in two instances have
exhibited wholesome and snno
judgment. Their sense of jus
tice is not so warned that they
cannot see that a railway cannot
sell transportation without earn
ing a profit, no more than n mer
chant can sell goods below cost
and continue in business. The
quality and value of the service
furnished in the transportation
industry is a factor to be consid
ered and should give pause to
those who appeur willing to com
pel the railways to make sacri
fices. Most important of all is
that, hero in Oregon, we are now
and will be for many years con
structing a commonwealth. Ev
ery one who uses transportation
and who docs not should re
flect that in order to build addi
tional lines and improve service
as well as make improvements in
keeping with the growth of tho
country tho trolley lines or any
other line must make a profit on
is operations.
Commenting unon tho ten
dency of the people to be fair ns
exhibited by the petition gotten
up by Portland und Tigard citi
zens the San Francisco Chronicle
says: "It is ono of those ruro
instances in which tho popular
desire for cheapnesses limited
not so much by u sense of justice
ns by the common sense consid
eration that if the prico is lower
than the cost of production the
article or service will cease to
be supplied."
Leads the World
Oregon leads tho world in dry
farming products. One man,

an exhibit tho staging of which
coat but $750, wont to tho Dry
Farming Congress at Tulsa, Ok

quality of the grains, grasses,
vegetables and fruits produced
by dry farming methods in Ore
gon, ho won the grand sweep
stakes prize over Canada's $50,
000 exhibit, over South America,
Australia and every other state
in tho Union. The Great North

ways each contributed $250 to
wards tho exponses of tho
exhibit
At tho Chicago National Dairy
Show a yearling Jersey heifer,
exhibited by Darrow Stump, 12
year old son of J. B. Stump of
Monmouth, Oregon, carried off
the sweepstakes prize over cattle
from all parts of tho United
States. Oregon is going into
the great Land Show to bo held
in Chicago the latter part of this
month, and it is fully expected
that her exhibit, which is prob
ably the best ever assembled by
the state, will land the third prize
of tho series.

there have filtered into the pages
some facts and impressions that

Started to Make Gas
The $1,250,000 gas works on
which the Portland Coko and Gas
Company has been working for
the last two years was put in
operation October zuth. It is
situated just west of St. Johns
on the St Helens road. The ten
acre tract on which the plant
stands has been filled in and rais
ed about 17 feet and is now 31
feet above the low water lovel of
the river. The plant consists of
seven buildings.
The gas is made from Califor
nia crude oil. not from coal. The
oil is run from the tank to the
furnace, where it is subjected to
a temperature of 100 degrees,
Fahrenheit. Under the intense
heat it becomes gaseous and the
carbon nnd other compounds can
be removed, leaving so lurge an
excess of hydrogen that it re
mains in gaseous form. The
carbon, which is now in the form
of lampblack, is removed by
passing tho gas through a tank
of water, The lampblack is left
floating on the surface, and is
uftcrwards made into briquettes
for fuel.
Tho gas, containing many im
purities in the shape of sulphur
compounds, is forced next
through a grate on which is laid
iron oxide, or common rust The
sulphur compounds, coming in
contact with the oxide, are large
ly broken up. The gas is now
ready to use. From the station
meter, where it is measured, it
is conveyed to the storage tank,
whence a 1G inch pipe carries it
to tho city distributing system.
Give it a Fair Chance
The new tarifT bill is a law. It
is the product of a Democratic
Congress, signed by a Demo
cratic President and is tho ful
fillment of a Democratic pledge.
This measure has been enacted
with the oxpectation that it will
Crove a blessing to tho country
y according to the many benefits
that hitherto havo been enjoyed
by the few. Its friends are sat
isfied that it has been wisely
constructed, while its opponents
insist that it will be detrimental
to business.
Ono feature of tho new net that
impresses itself strongly on the
public is the free list. Under
the Republican law sugar paid a
duty which the Democrats iiave
taken off. Ten, .coffee, salt, eggs,
milk und creum, Incut, wheat,
potatoes and flour, all of which
are closo to tho family market
basket, are freo of duty now, tho
immediate effect of which cannot
be otherwise than n lessening of
the burden so long borne by the
consumer.
As business interests hnvo
shown no apprehension during
the consideration of tho bill, nnd
as they have known that the
downward revision would affect
many raw materials, it is plain
that no interruption of industry
need be feared. The country lias
witnessed tho steady increase in
prices under Republican legisla
tion, and it welcomes tho oppor
tunity to note tho effects of mod
erate duties.
The trial of the Underwood law
is tho trial of tho Democratic
party, and it has no fear of the
verdict
If Often Happens
In baby boyhood a mother bent
over his little bed, and prayed
that up life's steep ascent in
honor he might tread; she dream
ed of high renown he'd win in
after years; she saw him wearing
virtues crown, through mists of
happy tears. A father taught
his infant tongue to lisp the sac
red names; and through the
years whetr ho was young, enjoy
ed with him his games, and
strove to plant within his heart
the love of good pursuits, that
he in age might not depart there
from, but reap the fruits. The
year3 have flown and the youth
has grown to man's estate does
he love the face of truth and
things entirely great? He's seen
the golden years take wing: in
worldly love, he's occupied in
coloring a half pound mers

Are Up Against it
The commission appointed to
formulate horn's of work and
compensation for girls under 18
seems to be rather up against it,
as even their proposed benefic
iaries are objecting to tho cur
tailed hours of labor and necess
arily reduction in wages. This
matter of regulation of wages
and hours of labor is ono that no
commission can ever handle sat
isfactorily. Different towns and
dilferont occupations call for
different hours und different
compensations. For instance, it
would bo foolish for a manicurist
to sit idle a goodly portion of the
day and ut tho rush time of un
evening be compelled to quit
work. Again, there are ninny
little businesses where tho boss
would bo able to pay a young
lady even us much as $5 u week
to look after his office or business
while out ut work, hut if lie bus
to pay more he simply closes up
and tho girl is nut of u soft and
ousy wny to cunt some pin money.
This last has ulready happened
in Dallas since the commission's
ruling went into effect, und the
girls nre of course objecting.

Last Saturday's game of foot
