SUBSCRIPTION RATES. Six mouths 7t Palu In advance, per year )1 51 West Virginia is a state Jn which the Democratic party of late years has had but little hopes of victory and has as yet never had even Its slender hopes realized. This year the pros pects for carrying the state for both state and national ticket are excel lent. Mr. C. A. Osenton, of Fayette, a delegate to the Denver convention ' and a prominent factor In Democratic politics of the state, says: "There is absolutely no reason why West Vir ginia should not be safely reckoned upon for both the national and the state tickets. The Republicans will have two state tickets in the field, a fact which will, of course turn the state government over to the Demo crats. Btu even while this duplica tion of state ticket with the same set of presidential electors on both may aid the Republican national ticket, the trend of public sentiment is such that we .Democrats are not apprehensive of disaster In the presidential contest. In past years west Virginia has been carried by the brute force of money or by the coercive methods adopted by the great mining and railroad cor porations to compel their employes to vote the Republican ticket. This time the Republicans have not the money necessary to repeat their former methods, and the railroads and the great corporations have ceased to feel that foolish and inexplicable dread of Bryan and his party which they mani fested in 181)0. Even If they did have the same fear their workmen have not, and the possibility of coercing them is very Blight. We have a well organized party in West Virginia, we have a state not difficult to canvass and we think we can safely promise to Bryan and to assure him that It will be in the complete sisterhood of the Southern states." J. R. Concutf, a former resident of Portland, has ust returned from Shanghai, China, where he has been engaged In the mercantile business for thb past two years. "Much has been, said," says Mr. Concuff, "of the awakening of China, but the reportB cannot exaggerate, or for that mat ter, give a true idea of rapid progress which tlio ancient country is mumiig, The great middle classes of the em pire are at work overturning tne luois built up by centuries of paganism and with ouch year the number or tne en lightened are Increasing by almost geometric ration. It I my sincere onlnlon that war on the Pacific within the next few years cannot be averted, and China will be one of the partici ' pants. I am net Baying who will be the others. The men of Cathay are drilling a lurge and quietly Increasing the strength of the naval armament, The people at large are steadfast in their hatred of the little brown men across on the Mikado's Isles and when the queued soldiers meet those who vanquished them before there will be a different story. Skilled statltlciuns from tho armies of Europe are being paid high salaries to inculcate into the Chinese forces the knowledge of war fare In all its subtleties. The Chinese soldier is not excelled In bravery or efficiency by the military of other na tions, once he is drilled Into form by competent leaders. The panic of 1907, coming without any legitimate excuse when the Re publican pnrty had for a decado been In complete control of the federal gov ernment, furnishes additional proof that it Is either unwilling or Incom petent to protect tho interests of the general public. It has so linked the country to Wall Street that the sins of the speculators are visited upon the whole people. While refusing to rescuo the wealth producers from spoliation at the hands of tho stock Ramblers, and speculators In farm products, it has deposited treusury funds without interest and without competition in favorite banks. It has used an emergency for which it Is largely responsible to force through Congress a bill changing the basis of hank currency and inviting market manipulation, and has failed to give tho Ill'tuen million depositors of the country protection In their savings. The entries for livestock at tho next Oregon State Fair, Salem, September 11-11), closed on the 1st Inst, in con t' i'ormlty with the rules governing such " matters during the fair and n glance at tho entry sheets before they are copied onto the several hooks of tho hoard show that there will bo mi unu sually large number of horses, cattlo,, sheep .goals and swine, In tho several contests for tho liberal cvash pre miums offered for the boardnifwypa mluina offered by tho board. There will bo livestock from Oregon, Wash ington, Idaho, California the choic est animals In the United States. The livestock department will he worth going many miles to see. So great has been the number of entries In tho Slniidardbred classes of horses for the coining Oregon State Fair, at Salem, Sept. 14-19, that the board of agriculture were compelled to provide additional barn room. This has been done In the shnpo of a large barn 2"0 feet long by 42 feet wide, which will afford box stalls for 40 horses, each stall being 11x12 feet, and these are located on cither side of a seventeen-foot driveway, which extends the entire length of the struc ture. Tho barn Is titled with all ac commodations for the horses, and It Is well lighted mid ventilated. There Is barn equipment now for 2.10 Standard hreds and Thoroughbreds. Mr. J. 11. McMillan, now past eighty five years of ago and temporarily re siding at Coshocton, Ohio, writes: "Having lived in Oregon sixty years and believing it to be the best country in tho United States, I take pleasure In sending people there who are look ing for a home. Uheuinatlsm has a firm grip on me, and 1 am unable to labor, but I can talk of Oregon and spread Oregon literature und will be glad to receive samo from all parts of tho Btate. I have been able to send many people to Oregon, and they have written tt hat they were glad they made the chango." Oregonlans should remember that there are thousands more to come on the colonist rates of September and October. "One day the Republican National Committee gives It out that it has re turned checks offered by corporations because such contributions .are un lawful, but they have never yet re turned the checks Cornelius N. Bliss obtained from insurance companies, and only last week they were caught In thte act of soliciting contributions by addressing appeals to corporations. And the chairman has appointed Bliss, who got the money from the Insur ance companies as a member of the "advisory committee." The Oregon State Fair opens next Monday, September 14th, and contin ues through the week. The showing of nil kinds of products, as well as livestock and industrial display and a great race program without pool sell ing, insures one of the best Fairs Oregon has ever held. Immediately following the Oregon State Fair is the Portland Country Club Live Stock Show, and it Is certain that these two weeks, during which livestock will be foremost in the minds of the peo ple of Oregon, will have much to do with the more rapid development of that Important ludustry. How deep the last words of the sweet voiced singer, Ira D. Sankey, strike Into the hearts of men. They were the words of Fanny Crosby, the blind hymn writer which he repeated, and the watchers who went with him to the verge of the Dark Valley heard these words: "Some day the silver chord will break, And I no more, as now, will sing; But Oh! tho joy when I awake Within the palace of the King." The new dairy building annex at the Oregon State Fair grounds, Salem, is nearly ready for use during the com ing annual fair, which Is scheduled to be held on September 14-19, Inclusive. The new structure will relieve the crowded condition of the dairy pavil ion proper, and afford more spacious quarters for the firms that will make exhibits of dairy machinery and appli ances during the fair. The display of butter and cheese will be extensive, also. The hurry up and build movement throughout the United States, because building material and labor are about thirty per cent cheaper than they were about a year ago, Is the cause of some spectacular happenings In Port land. Down in the business centor they are digging basements by elec tric light, working three shifts of eight hours each. The American Lumberman's "Build Now" movement Is reaching far Into the night. A new class of cattle Is to he shown at the next Oregon State Fair, which will be hold at Salem during the week beginning September 14, Is the Polled Jersey. Those will be exhibited by Grant Mann, of Cornelius, and will consist of a bull and cow which are said to be the only animals of the breed west of the Rocky mountains. Said Governor Hughes at Youngs- town, Ohio: "If all that Mr. Bryan, has favored and urged during the past twolve yearB had been enacted Into law we Bhould now be overwhelmed with disaster." The Governor has a fine way of rub bing It Into Roosevelt. . Hlllsboro, the prosperous and grow ing capital of Washington County, is celebrating its second Vail collection with Portland, the last being an elec tric line. Dairying and Soil Fertility. Uuder this head. Prof. G. L. Mo Kay says: '1 believe that while the tl'.iry business is mcreasius, we aro not making the advunooment that we should, It is my privelege, during the past summer, to spoud some time in the coast states lecturing on dair ing. I was surprised and astonished to find the progress that these peoplo were making, lu the State of Ore gon dairying has increased live liun dred p;r oent during the past five years, while the output of butter had almost doubled in tho snme time in California. , Possibly the priuoipul reason that dairying is making sueli progress in the coaHt states is that these peoplo have boon growing wheat for years, thus robbing their soil of nitrogen, phosphoric acid aud lime until the land became so impoverished that it wonld not jirodnco wheat. I saw land ont there that tlioy told me would not produce over eight or nine bushels of whoat per acre a few years Bgo, aud It is now produoing from twenty to forty bushels per acre. This change has been brought about, by farmors adouting dairying. A ton of wheat wll remove $7.00 worth of fertilizing, material from the soil, while a tou of butter will remove less than 60o worth. Today a ton of wheat has a market value ot tweuty-two dollars, while u ton of butter sells for live hundred dol lars; therefore, it is only reasonable that tho intelligent farmer should dairy.

DARROW. ChKhtm. N. V, Prat Correrpomtent New York State Grant) CO-OPERATIVE STORES. Onoe They Were Numerous, but Com paratively Few Now. From the excellent report of the committee on cooperation of the New Hampshire state grange we take the following paragraph: The writer ar gues that the grange stores Just filled their mission and then went out of business to a largo extent. During the early duys of the order Its members gave special attention to the business side of the grange. "Co-operative ac tlon was undertaken in buying and sell lng, and a great many co-operative stores were opened. The fact that few of these stores were long lived has been urged as showing that such co operation was not successful. It Is true thut some failed because of In competent management, but generally speaking these stoffs, which marked a brief period of transition, proved a triumph for the principle they repre sented. Previous to the period of their establishment the farmers have been struggling for existence, while the mid dlementhat Is, the tradesmen in the towns have been prospering amazing ly. At the close of the period the farmers were growing wealthy In comparison, while the tradesmen were engaged In a fierce competitive buttle for a liveli hood. The day of largo profits In the retail business bad passed forever, and as the farmers could then afford to deal with the tradesmen again tho co-operative stores disappeared, leaving their object fully accomplished." TAXING AGRICULTURE. National Master Bachelder Would Ex empt Growing Crops. From an address by National Mas ter Bachelder before tho nntiounl con ference on taxation at Columbus, O.; we make the following quotation: "From whatever point of view the taxation of farm products Is consid ered, the conclusion seems to me to be Inevitable that such taxation has no redeeming features by which It can be justified, aud I would most respect fully submit to this conference for Its consideration the proposition that the public welfare would be advanced by adopting generally some of tho exemp tions of farm property now contained In the kuvs of the Beveral states so that tho following property should be exempted lu all the slates: "First. All growing crops and all crops for a short period nfter harvest ing. "Second. AH animals raised for food purposes uuder a certain age. "Thlrd.-All farm work animals should bo declared to be tools of indus try and brought within tho exemptions now granted to tools, and tho value of tool exemptions should be expanded so as to include the value, of such work animals. "These exemptions, operating on all alike, would benefit all the consumers of the country ns well ns farmers, thus Including tho entire population." Developing Leadership. Miss Jennie Buel, secretary of Michigan state grange, very truly says that one of tho great demonstrations of organization nmong farmer folk In the past forty years has been the discovery and turning to account of leaders among themselves. Pre-eminent lead ers, It is perhaps true, are born, not mndo. But many who might be real leaders never develop tho ability, aud many others never are given Hie right bent. Their uatural aggressiveness runs riot or to waste on worthless ends. It Is not led out and schooled to logical accomplishments. ' Tho grange steps lu light here aud offers the plan.JJie experience mid the Incentive to the proper development of leadership. More tlnin this, It Is the mission of the grunge to do this. It Is a feature of grange opportunity that presents Itself as a 'privilege rather than as a duty. However, the percep tion of this privilege does not usually come in the primary grades of associ ated work. But when this opportu nity of helping human lives blossom and discover themselves Is once real ized It Is found to have a rare quality of enjoyment and satisfaction. Grange Day at Chautauqua. This notable summer resort on Chau tauqua lake sets apart one day for the meeting of Patrons from nil western New York. The meeting will occur this year Aug. 22. And In addition to the regular programme of the Chau tauqua Institution there will bo a spe clol meeting for young men. This meeting will bo nddressed by profess ors from Cornell Agricultural college and representatives from the state grange on the general topic, "What the Farm Offers to Young Men." The In stitution gives free admission ou this day to young meu from the various granges lu Chautauqua county ou the recommendation of their master. In tho afternoon there will be a grange lecturers' conference. The programme by the Institution for that day will be Interesting and will Include nn address by Rev. Dr. MncArthur of New York city. A new grange tent will be erected on the New York state fair grounds at Syracuse. The size will be (10 by 100 feet. State Master Codfrey will be on hand all the week to welcome Patrons. There will be n literary programme in the Woman's building on Orange day. which occurs on Sept. 15. A Paying Investment. Mr. John White, ot !!S Highland Ave., Iloulton, Mniue, says: "Have .been troubled with a cough every winter and spring Last winter I tried many advertised remedies, but the cough .continued until! bought 60 cetut bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery; before that was half gone, the cough was all Rime. This winter the same Imppy result has followed; a tew Hoses once more banished the an imal cough. 1 am now couvimed that Dr. Kiug's Now Discovery is the best of h!1 rough and lung remedies.

The preservation of the forests Is a problem second to none in present. Im portance aud in its outlook toward the future. Without trees our country would be a desert, and the rapid den udation of our New England hills is already beginning to have Its effect upon our streams and rivers und upon our water supply. The Invention of wood pulp paper and the r.:; !d exten sion of the industry tlirour:!; ut the country, together with the increase of newspaper circulation have stimulated the destruction of the forests to such a degree that steps are already being taken to preserve them before It Is too late. Congress .has attempted to take a haud In the matter, but so far with little avail, and It now remains for the individual states affected to see what they can do. The first step would seem to be the development of paper making from some rapidly growing and an nually reappearing substance, such as cornstalk fiber, Instlfid of ,from the slowly rising tree which cannot be re placed except after years of renewal' and growth. As was to be expected, Massachu setts Is taking the initiative. To the governors of the other five New Eng land states Governor Guild has sent out a request for a conference, and It will be held at the Algonquin club In Boston on the 14th of September. The six governors will then confer and deliberate over the best means to be taken for the preservation of our for ests, and It Is probable thift arrange ments will be made for the calling of a New England business conference at some time Immediately folIow!"g the presidential election. If It should be held, says Governor Guild In hla letter, It should come at that time "In order that Its work might not be confused with the politics of the presidential campaign." One of the especial ob jects of this meeting of the governor UOVEB.NOB GUILD OP MASSACHUSETTS. with his associates will be to devise means whereby a greater " uniformity of action may be secured la the leg islation among the several states lu the Union. But the greatest result should be in the stimulus it will give to public opinion and In its awakening of us to the fact that the forests must and shall be preserved. The First Potatoes. Sir Walter Raleigh, who shares with Sir Francis Drake the honor of first Introducing the potato In England, lived at Hrlxtou, England, near Eliza beth's IIouso. Foruiby, lu Lancashire, also claims the honor of being the site of the first culture of the poato In that country. They are said to have been grown there by a Formby man who sailed with Sir Walter. The earliest cultivation of the potato lu the British Islands was probably at Youghal, on the south coast of Ireland, where this great navigator had an es tate. It has been generally accepted that tho potato was taken to Europe from Virginia and that It was cultivated there by the natives. Sir Joseph Banks and Do Coudelle both lent the weight of their authority to this view, but it has beeu ascertained that the Indians of Virginia, though they used a number of tuberous roots, did not know our po tato. One of these was the plaut sometimes grown ns an ornamental climber In our gardens and called by botanists Apios tuberosa. The Indians called the roots potatoes, aud the French Canadians kuew them as pomuies de terre, and our potato, being a native of South America, was scarcely likely to be known to tho Indians of Virginia. Yet the potato was undoubtedly introduced In England ns part of the cargo of one of Sir Richard Greuville's ships "and lauded at Plymouth, and the ship had gone direct from Virginia and called nowhere ou the way. On the voyage home, however, it had encoun tered and captured a Spanish ship from Santo Domingo. Tho potatoes were a part of the cargo of the latter vessel. The Useful Sunflower. Sunflower seeds are said to give an extra Hue flavor to eggs and are much used by the French people for that pur pose. Remember this when you plant your garden and drop In some seeds arSund the edges and in the odd cor ners. A few planted near the sink drain will help to keep, away miasma and give you heads if seed that will be mammoth in size. Do You Want the Best?

SMITH. MI8S MAYME E. SMITH, 444 East Mound St., Columbus, Ohio, writes : "IT.ve used Peruna for catarrh and hay fove. The results being remark able, I can highly recommend it to all who are suffering with the above dis eases. I am happy to be able to say It has holpod mo woudcrfully." What is known as hay fever Is In reality endemic catarrh, a catarrhal condition of the nose, throat, some-I'mo.-i the bronchial tubes, induced by Eomo local irritant. ",".,3 irritation is generally due to vege tal emanations of some sort. Hay has been suspected as being the cause of this malady, hence its name, hay fever. It has been attributed to rag weed and other vegetation also. It is a very capricious disease, coming and going, A medicine that will help one case may not help another. Such treatment has always been very uncertain and unsat isfactory. Peruna helps soma eases without a d'Uiht, ulthoiigh it is not claimed to be n infallible remedy for such cases.
