It is eHtlmatfd that there are 75,
000 farms In Oregon. This is prob
ably too high an estimate, but many
ney ones have been added In the last
five years. There are still vast areas
uncultivated that are waiting for the
plow. Much of It Is held for specula-
tlon. Much of It Is out of roach with
out Irrigation. We could easily have
"5,000 more farms In the next year
If we quit the foolish practice of Jump
ing on the farmer with both feet
whenever he seeks to Improve and
beautify a holding. If he fights with
his neighbor we fine him $50 and end
the matter; but If he puis up a barn,
buys some blooded stock, some decent
household goods and a little machin
ery we raise the assessment If the
farmer don't He and perjure himself
to the assessor and spends, say $2,
000. In thus encouraging trade and
production, we fine him at least $40
for the next 20 years right along.
The long continued cold weather of
the Winter has not had a bad effect
on crops, as might have been expect
ed, but has been rather beneficial to
them, according to reports from differ
ent parts of the state. Fruit pros
pects throughout the Northwest are
now the brightest In years, it is said,
the cold weather holding back the buds
so long that there is little fear of dam
age by late frosts. This Is shown par
ticularly In the apple and pear or
chards, -where the crop during the
past year was the smallest In several
seasons. The snowfall of the Winter
is said to have been generally ample
to protect Fall sown grain except in
some portions of the Willamette val
ley. The snow, too, has added moist
ure to the ground in the drier sections.

It is not an easy task to get ahead
of the high-price game. The shoe
men now say that they must raise the
price of shoes because meat is so high
tnat people are not eating it and in
'consequence the packers are not kill
ing so many cattle and hides are
scarce. And hides are on the free
list, too, and the tariff on boots and
shoes was cut to the bone. A news
paper in one of the great creamery
districts of Sew York says that the
farmers there are eating oleomargar
ine and selling their butter.
It is quite Interesting in this age
of advancement to learn that the great
scientists and medical men are really
willing to admit the success of nature
over man.
The Paso Kobles Hot Springs of
California have so wonderfully cured
such obstinate diseases, and their
cure has caused such comment, that
science has at last. In many instanc
es, been mable to fully account for
the reason.
The waters at Paso Kobles have
been analysed. Chemicals distilled
by man have been apparently used
for the same purposes as those to be
found in the waters of Paso Kobles.
Still the cures have not been forth
coming and yet such cases find relief
In the baths at these springs.
The recent successful treatment of
Admiral Evans has caused a new
series of questions and arguments
among the world's scientific men.
Admiral Kyans had the best of
medical attention aboard ship, yet
when he reached land he was so weak
ened and In such pain that his Jour
ney to Paso Robles had to be made
In "easy stages to prevent his collapse
from suffering. He spent three weeks
at Paso Robles and was so much ben
efited that he was soon able to re
sume command on the bridge of his
flagship. i
The air at Paso Robles causes as ;
much Investigation as the waters, fori
It is said that the peculiar and per-,
feet air found there has as much to i
do with the curing of all diseases as :
the mineral baths.
To the visitor In perfect health
Paso Robles is a place of consuming
Interest, while to the sick it Is a re
treat almost beyond conception. If ;
their words of praise are heard.
In Paso Robles one hears only
water and air spoken of as the real
physician, while every person seen Is ;
filled with the buoyancy of hope and j
renewed vigor and takes especial de-l
light in telling you what he used to;
be. j
A small book, neatly Illustrated, ;
has been recently published by the
management telling the story of the j
Hot Springs in a mast Interesting
