land aud Asturia in the Wi Unmet te
and Columbia rivers tiud in extending
the Columbia ' jetty, b'sides some
work at Coqnilli and Tillainok and
dredging iu the up; er Willamette and
upper Columia. If Major Mclndoe's
recommendations are curr.ed out,
they will meau much permanent
work of great value to the whole
Paoifio Northwest.
Dolejiiites from Oregon, Washington,

In bis little book, "The Garden
Yard," Bolton Hall writes iu a
simple and practical manner of -in-titisive
cultivation. Willi the bo
nanza farm of 10,000 acres has come
the bonanza farm of three acres, and
Bolton Hall believes that there is
more happiness and real wealth in
the three-acre farm than iu the 10,
000 acre ranch In one place he very
pertineutlv says: "To find the cause
of most, of the poverty aud e"en crimo
in tho world, we must look beyond
the population statistics to the restric
tions and monopolies that prevent
population from providing for its
own noods from natural sources. And
when once you begin to iuvestig:ita
monopolies, von will find the mother
of thorn all laud monopoly. '
Blooded chickns sud tats from
various parts of the Pacifier North

The railroads have enjoyed their
share of a brisk holiday season,
Large quantities of merchandise in
the form of small packages have been
brought to the Northwest. There
have also been substantial shipments
from this part of the country to the
older sections. Postnfllne receipts
show substantial increases over last
vear. The holiday travel is also
above the normal. All of the rail
roads have oarried unusual numbers of
Christmas travelers this year, all of
which indicates that the Northwest
jg eu joying prosperity.
Conservation will once more be-
1 come the important topic for consid
eration when the joint congressional
committee investigates the charges
that have been made against Sonre-
tary of the Interior R. A. - Ballingor..
Cmicerning the radical view of con
servation, Judge C. H. Hanford of
the federal court, recently said in
public, "It is restriction of use,
whioh is equivalent to waBte. True
conservation is the making of the best
use of what we have, rather; than
leaving our resources untouched."
According to the report made by
the national monetary commission,
tho bankn.of the Panitio coast stand
third in the United States. This
body has investigated all of the U
n uncial institutions iu the country
during the p8t year. It places the
middl) eastern and Atlantic states at
the head of the list, the resources per
capita being largest. The New En
gland status are next and then follow
the Pacific coast states. Therenfter,

How Is This for the Voteless Female?
''Five yoars ago there were sixty
two men and only three of us girls.
The boss uiadj us work regular
sweat-shop hours, and the pay was
very bad. So we girls wanted to start
a union. Well, the sixty-two nion
being cowards only grinned. Theu
what happened? Tho boss found
that girls could run the machines just
as well as men, and -he thought
wonion would be meek and take even
lower pay. So he pnt in more girls
lie kept at it till now only three men
are left I But we girls are not meek
at all 1 We 'started our union; w
have made him let us out every night
at six o'clock, and raise onr WBges
to over soven dollars a woek! And
now" she smiled a cruol, mocking
smile at the three men iu the corner,
and added sweetly: "We girls are so
strong we oan protect our three men.
We have shortened their hour; too,
and raised their wages. Poo

Stayton Mail : With the commercial

some jokers jotingly jocosed, why
uot take up sanitation for Stayton?
Coudhons warrant such a uiove, as

'Eugene Guard: Eugene ought to
have at least a $75,000 city hall, not
only because we noed in in our busi
ness, out as an evidence of our faith
in tho future growth aud greatness of
onr uity. To put up a cheap building
would give the lie to onr claims that
within five years Eugene will have a
population of 25,000 or 80.000 people.
Rosubnrg Review : Whether plautod
to apples, pears, prunes, cherries, ber
ries, potatoeH. or othor fruits or
vegetables, there are thousands rof
acres of laud in Douglas county which
are now practically idle that should
be yieldiug to the owners thereof an
nual crops wcrth from $100 to $1000
per sere. Tho soil and climate are
here to do this. What is needed is
more peopla to intelligently kapply
their energies to these purposes.

MeMinnvillo Telephone-Registor :
Forest Grove and Oorvallis, like Me
Minnvillo, are arranging to extend
their citv limits. A progressive city
like progressive men, like to be up and
doing, and in faot one must either
forgo ahead or go behind. Thcro is
no standing still. "Progress" is the
word learn it, talk it, aot it. Now
for a groater MoMinnvillo.
The apparent determination of the
Oorvallis & Eastern to extend from
Yaquiua to Newport will create a
summer city out of the latter place
and make its real estate rank with
Seaside and Bay'ooean. The main
reason why more people have uot gone
to Newport ia its difficulty of acoess.
Public improvements of all kinds
tend to locate all values on tho land,
and Newport will prove no exception
to this economic rule.
Washington County News: New

of 10,000 cans.
Lakeview Examiner: One of the
old timers a while ago placed a five
line ad in tho want column of vthe
Lakeview Examiner offering his very
desirable farm near Lakeview for
sale. He secured so many letters
from- people all ovor tho United
States and from some foreign countries
as to the plaoe that he got frightened,
and ordered the ad taken out, saying
if so many outsiders wanted the farm
that he had better keep it,as he might
not be able to get one so good any
where else 1 And between yoa and I
and the gate post, he was wise in that
oonolusion.
Rogue River Courier: John R.
Allen, the projector of the electrio
road which is to run from Grants
Pass to Ashland bv the way of Med
fnrd, recently had an interview with
the committee on Btfeets. He is very
anxious to secure the franchise to run
his road to this city and the people
of Grants Pass are anxious for him to
do so. The matter will be up iu a
special meeting of the council next
Monday night aud will be acted upon
with great promptness. This road
will do much for Grants Pass and be
a great convenience to orchardists and
farmers all along the line.
Eugene Register: The Siuslaw
country did a great thing for itself
when it created a Port of Siuslaw and
issued bonds in the sum of $100,000
for harbor imbrovement. Thero is to
bo no delay in the mattor. Contracts
are to be let and by February 1. it is
expected that work on the south
jetty will begin The government is
disposed to aid the enterprise by
building the north jetty aud when
both jetties aro comploted it is figured
that a 20 foot channel can be main
tained on the bar. This will mean
that Siuslaw will come into its own
as a recognized coast port located
in close proximity to billions of feet
of the best timber that grows any
where aud supplying an outlet for
the commoroe of the upper Willamette
valley.

CARE OF BABY'S FEET
- The very host shoe for a child is
no shoe until he has learned to walk,
provided you will take paius to see
there is nothing on the floor to hurt
the delicate feet. In no other way
will he acquire the same beautiful,
easv trait as by going barefoot. More
over, he will not catch cold. It is
surprising to see bow warm those ao
tive little feet will keep. In exrrouie
weatnor, or when floors or pavements
are really colu, the feet should be
olad. My idea is that then there is
no other foot gear sa good as properly
rnado moccasins, but these you will
have to make yourself, for most so
called Indian moccasins are not made
on good ins. If you will trouble to
do this, youri child's foet will be
ideally clad.
Buckskin is the best material, soft,
Dliaut. durable and yet most tough
aud dilficnlt to puncture, as you will
bud when sowing it. Aud now we
come to whuc are good points In shoos.
They are those 0111 bodied in the so
called "orthopedic" shoos, and can
be obtained nowadays at most of the
better shoe stores. They Bhould be
straight on thoir inside hues so as
not to push tho great toe out, the lirst
cause of bunions and ingrowing nails
They should, of oourse, be hooless
and flat on the bottom, so that all the
toes rest on the floor and can act, not
turned up into tho locker sole or
spring Inst. They should ba very
roomy and marked rights and lefts,
but satisfactory ones are impossible
to find,,, so one has to content himsolf
with those certuiuly large not to oom
press fie toos. The sole of tho shoe
shouldb e bioador than the foot and
largo euough to insure comfort with
out suoh thing as "breaking in." and
neither to thick nor tou thin, full as
high in the middle as at the sides
whou tho uppers are sewed in.
It is well to have faced shoes, the
only kiid which ever really fit. The
shank, or waist, should be narrow,
so us to hold the foot from sliding to
the sides and bringing pressure on
the toes, tho cause of corufe. It is
well to avoid wool stockings and high
shoes, oitlier of which cause tho feet
to perspire while in the house, and
they are then bound to be cold when
out of doors
Iu Alaska a wet foot means a frozen
foot and the loss thereof. Extra
warmth uan ba Bafi'ly added by the
use of leggings put on just as the
child is going out. It is well to
change slioi s and Htockings ou com
ing iu. The nails should not be out
too short or with wounded euds, fo'
this also "ids to make ingrowing
nails. Iu the flat soled shoes there
are bound to be deep wrinkles in the
upper where it folds in walking, and
if the uppers are stiff these wrinkles
will blister the little feet. Avoid
then uppers which are too stiff. In
reality tliere are just two important
points in the care of the feet, proper
walking and roomy, well shaped
hlioes. Fiom "Care ot the Little
Feet by Dr. Arthur L. Sherman in
The American Baby.
Thoughts and Suggestions
"A sooiety for the protection of
parents" has said some sarcastic per
son late'y, and boon applauded for
wit. Now it is trne that parents
have a harder time than they used to
have in managing children, but there
are valid reasons in the very nature
ot things why- it should be so.
Self-assertion is not only a peculiar
ity of theAinericau oharaoter, but the
lustiuct to speak out fearlessly, to
act independently is tlie result ot
nursyfct'Uiof education, which has
for its profesesd object exactly this
development of individuality. The
modern 'child is not docile and silently
ohodient. Ho oboys if he chooses or
if iie has to, but not as t mattor of
uurbiuking habit.
If tlieie are disadvantages in this
range of socotion aud I think there
are boiuo serious onus there art also
a few advuntsges. The latter uay
young person is prepared to undergo
the consequences of his own acts. It
his choice turns out badly he is eithor
too proud to ooiuplaiii, or he realizes
that it is uo nso, tuid he colltivatus
philosophy under discomfort. Our
uow girl, especially, is self reliant
and ntave in enduring what she
brings upon herself in measure that
sho rebels against what other people
bring upon her. Stoicism is some
times an excellent thing, and this at
least we have guinod.
Fresh Air as an Investment
"Frosh air is a good investment,
whether it be iu the home, tho olliue,
or the factory," says H. II. Windsor
iu the January I'opuhir Mechanics
"Without it the briefest mind be
clou 'Is and the most euergetio grow
listless and lose force. Tne human
engine cannot develop its utmost
power without fresh air, any more
than a caudle can burn brightly or
the Hro under a boiler yield its ut
most boat when deprived of the nec
essary amount of oxygen. The In
i i;u l( S"8 bis vitality sud the Esqui
mau speedily (devilops tuberculous
when umdo to live as the civilized
live. It does not follow that we
should wear a few feathers instead of
tsilnr-inado garinnnts, or eat blubber
and drink whale oil which is largely
a matter of taste hut we can be sen
sible and bo as considoruto of our
selves in our daily ration of fresh air
as we are iu selecting other kinds ot
food.
"As a matter of ethics, there is lit
tle difference between breathing the
impure air from our own and other
people's lungs and bathing in the
same tub of water that has served its
mission several times. Of tho two
the dirty water is the least injuri
ous." Mr. Windsor follows this lead with
some good advice to manufacturers,
and then summarizes:
"Good air: good production.
Had air; reduced production.
"Tho twenty five dollars which the
'old man' sends with sjoIi 1 prido to
Jim's widow to holp 'out the funeral
expenses might better have been spent
