What is Happening in the Oregon
Building at the Show
Oregon Building, Panama-Pacifiie
Exposition. June 30: Luther Bur
bank, who gave Oregon its most pop
ular potato and the loganberry as
well, a man of world-wide knowledge
and authority, paid Oregon the com
pliment of making a special half
hour visit to the Oregon exhibit in
the Palace of Agriculture and of
saying that he had never seen a bet
ter of its kind. He was particular
ly enthusiastic over the exhibits from
a score of other states. He had
never seen a more satisfactory exhib
it and was amazed that Oregon could
produce so wonderfully. Mr. Bur
bank complimented Chief Freytag
warmly and said that there was no
doubt in his mind that the grand
prize had fallen in exactly the proper
place.
Of 'the recent winnings by Oregon
exhibits, the Exposition News, the
daily official publication on the
grounds says: "The State of Oregon
has set a record the past few days
in the number of prizes the state and
its individual exhibitors have carried
off at the exposition. The prizes
won by Oregon products and by Ore
gonians were chiefly in connection
with the State's horticultural and ag
ricultural exhibits. In both of these
fields the Oregon exhibits have car
ried off the grand prizes, giving that
state the HIGHEST rank among the
states that participate in the exhib
its. The horticultural exhibit is in
charge of C. N. Ravlin of Hood River
and the agricultural displays are
made under the supervision of 0. E.
Freytag."
July 1 is to be Oregon Cherry
Day. Magnificent cherries from the
various cherry districts of the state
will be on display and distributed.
The Dalles, Hood River. Rogue River
and Umpqua River valleys will con
tribute generously and it is said that
there is considerable rivalry between
these sections as to which shall show
the finest product. An elaborate
program is being prepared and the
day will be made a gala one at the
Oregon building. These special occa
sions bring tremendous crowds to see
the Oregon building, which is unques
tionably one of the two or three most
popular buildings on the grounds.
Are You Feeling Fit?
Do you envy the man or woman of
untiring energy, strong body and hap
py disposition? All these depend up
on good health, and good health is
impossible when the kidneys are weak
overworked or diseased. Foley Kid
ney Pills act promptly and help the
kidneys filter the blood and cast out
the poisonous waste products that
cause sore and swollen muscles and
joints, backache, rheumatism and the
symptoms that give warning of dan
gerous kidney and bladder ailments.

The Primary Fact About War.
We sometimes think that the distin
guishing characteristic of war Is the
killing and mulmlng of men, but it is
evident that this is not the real dis
tinction, for men are killed and maim
ed lit time of peace. The essential and
the one marked difference is this, that
during war a nation is a society,
whereas in peace it is an aggregate of
individuals. So true is this, indeed,
that if a Cenizen from some other
world acquainted with our normal ac
tivities during peace should visit us
when we are at war he would have
difficulty in recognizing in this smooth
ly moving, harmonious unit the disor
ganized welter of yesterday. Compar
ed with the spirit that animates a so
ciety at war, the disintegration that
inevitably ensues when the sword is
laid aside is in all practical respects
like the dissolution which sets in in
the body of a man when the spirit has
taken its flight "The World Storm
and Beyond," by Edwin Davies Schoon
maker, in Century Magazine.
The Black Hole of Calcutta.
If the prisoners in the famous "black
hole" had been as well informed as
modern scientists there would have
been no such death rate as actually
occurred. The men died of suffoca
tion and panic. Modern discovery lias
shown that air can support life If it be
kept in motion, even though It has but
a small amount of oxygen In it.
If the prisoners in the notorious dun
geon had therefore formed a mass and
revolved around and around at a pace
that would have been easy to keep up
not only would the contained air have
been stirred up, but each man on the
outnlde of the revolving mass would
have had his face presented periodical
ly to the small window. . 4
In fact, in the light of recent discov
ery the same incarceration could now
take place without the loss of a single
life that is, provided the men were
reasonably strong and healthy. Every

Thackeray's Twopenny Tart.
This Thackeray story is told by the
late Charles Brookfleld in his "Ran
dom Reminiscences." "Early in their
married life," he writes, "my father
and mother lived in lodgings In Jer
myn street (he was curate at St
James' church at the time). One even
ing he unexpectedly brought home
Thackeray for dinner and introduced
him to my mother. She was rather
overwhelmed "by the knowledge that
there was nothing In the house but a
cold shoulder of mutton. It was too
late to contrive anything more elab
orate, so to 'give an air' to the table
she sent her maid to a neighboring
pastry cook's for a dozen tartlets of
various kinds. 'Which of these may I
give you?' she Inquired in due course
of Thackeray. 'Thank you, Mrs.
Brookfleld,' said he; 'I'll have a two
penny one.' "
The Listener.
Years ngo Koine one said that "u
good listener Is preferred to a poor
talker." And every one who tins ob
served good listeners or listened to
poor talkers have come to the conclu
sion that the fellow knew what he was
saying.
There is quite as much art In listen
ing as there is in talking. Simply to
remain quiet does not signify that one
is listening. TO listen means to pay
attention. It Implies that one Is learn
ing something. It is in line with the
words bf the wag concerning the owl,
which runs something like this:
A wise old owl lived In an oak,
The more he heard the less he spoke;
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Why are we not like that wise old bird?

Fathoms Deep.
The boy yawned over his geography.
"How deep is the ocean?" he inquir

thousands." "Well, how much is a fathom?"
"A fathom is er er are you look
ing at the Taciflc? Well, your Uncle
Karl years ago was shipwrecked in the
Pacific, and the pirates came out after
him, and the cannibuls but I'm too

Goats In Switzerland.
In Switzerland if a boy plagues a
goat he may be fined and sent to Jail.
If a person meets a goat on a path
and drives the animal aside he may be
arrested. If a goat enters the yard of
a person not Its owner and is hit with
a club or stone the person guilty of
the offense must pay 30 cents. If the
engineer of a railroad train sees a goat
on the track be must stop the train un
til the animal can be coaxed away.

; In discussing the commercial
achievements of this great age, we
shall approach the subject as the
historian chronicling events. This se
ries will endeavor to record In writ
ing the supremacy of American men
and Industries in the world's affairs
and perptuate an appreciation of our
marvelous industrial achievements by
presenting simple facts, figures and
comparisons that are overpowering In
their convictions.
. America holds her proud place
among the nations of the earth today
on account of her supremacy in trans
portation facilities. The mighty minds
of the age are engaged in the prob
lems of transportation, and the great
est men in the history of the world's
commerce are at the head of the
transportation systems of the United
States.
: In the discussion of transportation,
let us consider separately our Rail
ways, Telegraph and Telephones, Ex
press, Public Highways, Steamships,
'Street Railways, Interurban and other
forms of transportation, and this ar
ticle will deal with railways.
; The United States has the largest
mileage, the best service, the cheap
est rates, pays labor the highest
, wages, and we have the most efficient
ly managed of the railways of the
I world. They stand as a monument to
I the native genius of our marvelous
j builders, and most of the railroads in
.foreign countries have been built
I under American orders.
j The railroads represent a larger in
vestment of capital than any other
! branch of human activity. The mile
lage in the United States exceeds
the accepted distance from the earth
to the moon. We had in 1911, the
last year in which figures for all
countries are available, on the
earth's surface, 639,981 miles of rail
way divided as follows: United States
241,199, Europe 207,432 and other
countries 191,350. The United States
has 38 per cent of the world's mileage,
seven per cent of the estimated pop
ulation and about five per cent of the
area. The total capital Invested in the
railways of the world is $50,000,000,
000, divided as follows: United States
$13,000,000,000 Europe $25,650,000,000
and other countries $11,350,000,000.
Reduced to a mileage basis the cap
italization is as follows: The world
$78,000, United States $54,000, Europe
$124,000, and other countries $59,000.
A comparison of rates Is equally as
interesting and the United States
takes the lead in economy and serv
ice. The average rate per ton per
hundred mile haul is as follows:
United States 76c, Great Britain $2.53,
France $1.44, Gerftiany $1.44, Russia
92c, Austria-Hungary $1.30, Italy $2.30
and Switzerland $2.82.
The average yearly pay of all rail- 1
road employes in the principal coun- I
tries is as follows: United States I
$757, Germany $392, Italy $345, Aus- i
tria $322, Great Britain $279, France !
$260 and Russia $204. !
About 30 per cent, or 188,000 miles, '
of the railways of the world are
government owned. About half the
railway mileage of Europe is govern-
ment owned.
A comparison of the economy, "in '
time and money and the convenience
in travel, will be made in a later
article.
people rae hungry and looking for
work while millions of acres of land
are held out of use, and millions of
money are locked up.
Billy Sunday says that if a poor
man is converted the rich Christians
will take care of him. They will do
nothing of the kind! The writer has
been in 25 states and never saw an
ostensible Christian that was willing
to pay decent living wages. A man
cannot support a family in any kind
of comfort in our cities and towns
on $2.00 a day, and half of the time
he can't get that. The only ones
that are paying decent living wages
are Edison and Ford, and neither one
make any profession whatever. The
writer, however, is not knocking the
real teachings of Christ, who Was
full of compassion and mercy; but
most of His followers to day are
nothing but greedy grabbers, and
Billy Sunday is the biggest one of
all.

has never failed to produce a good
crop every year, while a Royal Ann
tree nearby, failed.
