It has been proposed that a Young Men's Republi can Club should be organized in Oregon City. ; The young men constitute an important factor in any party, and their services can best he employed through an intelligent organization. Such a club should be formed. Ax invitation has been extended to Clackamas county by the management of the Lewis and Clark Centennial to make a special exhibit at the exposition to be held at Portland in 1W5. This proposition should be taken up by the Oregon City Board of Trade and the people of Clackamas county generally. Clack amas county, bordering Multnomah so closely, should be .resented at the coming fair by an exhibit, rep xeWative of its resources. This ami kindred mat ters can be taken up by the local commercial .body when it has assumed active operations. surpasses in extent all other exposition structures, is CQC I, tKX feet long and will cost over nan ii inuiioji uoi- lars. In all, inside and outside space, more than Q seventy acres are devoted to the progress and devel- M opment of the science of husbandry. , t J Agriculture is not given this prominent place be-O cause of a sudden discovery that it outranks all other ( industries in point of value of product or importance to ()jir national welfare. That it stands first among the industries of man and that all other activities rest Q upon the tilling of the soil was conceded long ago. It ' Q was given first place at this exposition because agn-itJ culture was so conspicuously the prime factor in the JO development of the territory embraced in the "Louixi-iQ ana Territory." j Q The suggestion is made that the work of gathering j Q and installing the colossal exhibits of agriculture- and .

U It is reported that the penitentiary authorities are making arrangements to put convicts at work upon the roads between the state institutions, covering about twenty miles. The workings of this interesting experiment will be carefully watched by many. It has been a pet theory of friends of better roads that here is the field for convict labor. The element of competition with recognized industrial workers would be eliminated. Convict labor, that is of little use or Talue otherwise could be utilized to great advantage by this means. About penitentiary towns.at any rate, avery fiue system of highways should result. If the plan worked well near the prisons, suitable arrange nents could, no doubt, be made to use the labor of the prisoners on the great main highways of the state. It will be more conducive to a state of mind among the prisoners tending toward reform for their labor to le employed in wholesome, healthful surroundings than under prison conditions. Some selection could govern in making up road working lists of convicts. Under the plan of giving a convict two days' credit on his term of imprisonment for each day faithfully and industrially spent in roadmaking, incentive would be offered for good work. The plan is worth tijiug. Albany Herald. FOR OREGON STATE FAIR, 104. ' At a recent meeting of the Oregon State Board of Agriculture, some business in connection with the K'01 state fair (Sept. 12 to 17) was transacted. ,George Caiarr.ie. of Portland, was appointed superintendent of the stock department; Frank Lee of the poultry; Prof. F. L. Cent, of Corvallis, the dairy. A revision of the premium list on stock was made. The premiums were lowered in some instances but wpre raised in others and, taken altogether, the in creases will more than offset the decreases, and in the aggregate the premiums have been raised. The prin cipal item of increase was in the goat department, where a premium for sweepstakes ($20) was added, and the premiums increased all along the line of regu lar prizes. The first premium of $10 was increased to 13, likewise- the second premium, and the others were increased from $5 and $3 and $2.50 to $7.50. This raise in the premiums on the goat exhibits was not due to any request upon the part of the breeders; on the contrary, they are abaut the only ones that did make anv request of that nature, but is entirely to their recognition of the great and growing industry of the state and as an encouragement to increase their efforts. The county exhibit premiums will be the same as they were for the t!'03 state fair. The following special racing purses were decided on and announced: 82,000 for 2:15 pace, $2,000 for 2:17 trot, 11,000 for 2:12 trot, $1,000 for 2:11 pace, $500 for 3-year-old pace, $500 for 3-year-old trot, $300 added pur.-.e for 2-year-old trot. The closing date of entry for these Btakes is May 10th. G. A. Westgate, of Albany, is superintendent of the Bjrrd department. A RECORD OF AMERICAN HUSBANDRY.

In the annals of human progress there is nothing comparable to the story of the development of lata bandry in this country. As the display at the St. Louis exposition is to be comprehensive and educa tional, it will provide a wealth of material for the storv of American agriculture, which should emtraco not only the roMilts of scientific husbandry but the activities that are directly related to the tilling of the soil. THE WAR AND AFTERWARD America's promptness in urging the powers to join it in attempting to localize the war is commanding almost as much of the world'a attention as aro Ja pan's swift and heavy blows against Russia. The ad vantages which Japan gained by its victories on the first and the second days of the war are being loiiow edun. Her troops are pouring into Korea from two or three sides of the peninsula, by the way of Masan- pho. Fusan and Chemulpo, the last named being the port nearest to Seoul, Korea's capital. The capital is occupied. Masatpho is being fortified, from Ma sanpho. which is just across the Korean strait from the Japanese shore, that narrow waterway is com manded by the guns of the mikado s forces. Lven it the Russian fleets at Port Arthur and Vladivostok showed any disposition to attempt to move out from the shelter of the guns of the forts at these points, they would not be able to get through the straits in either direction. Communication by water between those two fortified points, by far the strongest in Rus sian Asia, is cut off. The whole of Korea is open to the invasion of the Japanese. But the aim of the United States is to guard against some of the possibilities and eventualties of the war. Secretary Hay's note to the powers does not aim to hamper the activities of either belligerent to any em barrassing degree. Nor does it threaten the compli cations for the United States, which some of the yel low newspapers in New York, St. Louis and other places in the country imagine, or pretend they imag ine Neither Korea nor Manchuria is included in the zone of neutrality which Roosevelt and Hay have in view. They want to keep the war out of the part of China which is still under the sway prtkin. Should Russia extend her operations into China, this might provoke a rising in that country against all foreign ers, which might lead to atrocities like those perpe trated by the Boxers, and thus provoke international complications and render necessary another march on Pekin like that of l'-'OO. When Chinamen get aroused they make no dis criminations between men of white skins. The Amer ican, the Englishman and the German in China might find that country as hot as the Russian would. Atrocities pn missionaries, merchants and other peace able foreigners in the empire would stand a chance to be precipitated, and the scenes of four yearB ago be repeated. ' The president aud the secretary of state want to pre vent any such eventualities. It was the Boxer rising that gave Russia the pretext under which uhe seized and holds Manchuria. The present war is due chiefly to the opportunity for territorial aggrandizement, which the Muscovite embraced in iwj. nooseveu ana nay know these things, if their American critics do not. These things are also known in every chancellery in Europe, and this is why the secretary's note has been received with favor in London, Berlin, Vienna and Paris, for Paris is in sympathy with the general pur nriHfififthe note, although it says that it wants to steer clear of anything which would be calculated to embarrass Russia. Of course, the severest of the war is still to come. The Russian is a poor Bailor. He always has been, and he will probably remain so. But when he has solid ground under his feet he is a sturdy fighter. He has proved this in many wars in the two centuries separating their conflicts with Charles XII, of Sweden, and Abdul Hamid, of Tur key Man for man, the Japanese are probably better fight ers and campaigners than the Russians on land as on water and will defeat them in the end.
