This is also a great year for steal

In Mexico few presidents die, but
under present circumstances the in
augural preferred seems to be a re
signation. Italy's Parliament has annexed
Tripoli, and now the question will be
how to get hold of the garment as

Sometimes Democracy is spelled
with a big D, sometimes with a little

a prefix of two d's.
Whatever the express companies
may have to say in the line of de

public as the least forcible.
GARFIELD
Professor C. J. Lewis and R. W.
Rease instructed over one hudred in
terested persons at the state orchard.
People came from near Vancouver,
Washington, Sycamore, George Cur
rinsville. Eagle Creek, Sprinwater, and
other piaces to become acquainted
with the professor and his assistant.
Those coming from a distance were
met by W. M. Tracy, D. Trapp and
Phil Standish with wagons and driven
to the place where the demonstration
was held. Those coming to our part
of Oregon for the first time were well
pleased with the country, some wish
ing they could locate with us. The
Professor thinks he -will be able to
give the next demonstration in June
or July, when we expect a much larger
crowd to attend.
' Several are planting pits for nursery
stock, as this part grows stock that
cannot be excelled, and they will be
sure of their trees.
Mr. Orison who purchased the thir
ty acre tract from Epperson has it in
fine shape to set but trees. It is an
improvement to be proud of and we
wish him success in his work. He
three teams and four or five men em
ployed in clearing the old orchards
and putting in the new.
R. Denning who purchased Eman
uel Krigbaum's place is busy putting
the ground in shape to plant Loganber
ries, which do well in this locality,
as grow all kinds of berries. We can
say it is no experiment as the berry
is a success here.
Mrs. Wm. Davis, we are sorry to
say is no better. She has been a great
sufferer for more than three months,
Not able to lie down- to rest, in all
that time. The trouble is in her lower
limbs. They show no improvement.
THE CANAL IS OURS.
The Senate has learned that Eng.
land has already formally acknowled
ged the right of the United States to
fortify the Panama Canal, and that,
therefore, that question can never be
brought up under the pending Anglo-
American arbitration treaty, which
the Senate is to act upon next week.
A letter read in the Senate, written
by Secretary John Hay, who aided in
framing the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
dealing with the canal matter, said
that the whole theory of that pact was
. that "the canal Is to be entirely Amer
ican. The enormous cost of construc
tion is to be borne by the United
States alone. When constructed it Is
to be exclusively the property of the
United States, and is to be managed
controlled and defended by it."
These are the words of a man who
was secretary of state under McKin
ley, and also under Roosevelt, and
who knew what he was talking about
They take all the point out of the ar
gument of the small, but noisy fac
tion, who say that England will be
angry If we fortify the canal. As
neither England nor any other coun
try is paying a cent of the hundreds
of millions of dollars of the cost of
construction, and as all of the outlay
is shouldered by the United States,
the elemental dictates of internation
al comity demand that -we should own
it and defend it. It is part of our
coast line, and we hare) just as much
right to erect fortifications at its ter
minals and anywhere else along it as
we have to put up defense at Key
West or New Orleans.
Moreover, the work of fortifying
the canal has already started. Under
present plans this work will go hand
in hand with construction. The canal
builders will aid in erecting defenses
as they go along. The construction
of the waterways is in charge of army
engineers, and they will direct the
work of erecting defenses. A regi
ment of infantry has already been sta
tioned on the canal zone. This is to
be followed by other regiments and by
coast artillery. It is planned to have
a brigade there in normal times, after
the waterway is opened. Politics must
be kept out of this great national
question. The canal is American
property, and its management and de
fense must be dealt with on lines that
are broadly and wholly American.

POTATO MARKET HAS
The potato market is showing a
further advance in the price at coun
try points, although it is stated that
the southwestern markets refuse to
follow the advance.
For extra choice stock a number of
carloads were purchased in the. Will
amette valley at $135 per cental f. o.
b. stations. This is a nickel above
anything heretofore offered for this
quality. The advance is due entirely
to the speculation by dealers. Some
of them are of the opinion that a
sharp advance will be forced after
the fir3t of the month and they are
backing their judgement, in a limited
way, by taking hold of supplies. N
Others who are offering the advance
are doing so because they already
have liberal supplies and by paying
a fraction more for a load or two, are
thereby able to give the market an
artificial stimulant.
All interests now agree that as soon
as the weather permits, shipments
will start from Minnesota and Wiscon
sin, thereby throwing additional com
petition into the Arizona and Texas
trade. Few new orders are coming
from there; present purchases for
that amount being for lots sold by
dealers some weeks ago.
The boosting by Japanese speculat
ors in California is causing some loc
al holders to stay out of the market.
News sent from Stockton, California,
is generally Inspired by speculators
there.' One advice just made public
says that potatoes are selling there
at $2.50 per bag on the river bank.
This is misleading because the same
potatoes are being sold in San Fran
cisco at $1.75 per cental, and stock
is never purchased there by the bag.
The average bag of potatoes in the
river district weighs close to 120
pounds.
No business is reported at Willam
valley points for extra fancy potatoes
Offers for these range around $1.60
per cental, but growers are asking
more money.

Carlyle and Black.
An r.musing anecdote of Carlyle told
In Allingham's diary, is also mention
ed In his letters. William Black wrote
to Allingham that It had always been
one of the ambitions of his life "to see
Carlyle face to face." and asking the
poet to try to arrange for a five min
utes' interview. Allingham brought
about the desired meeting, at which
Carlyle's inquiry. "Well, sir, and when
are you going to seriously set about
writing a book?" must have astonished
the popular novelist. London Nation.
Care of Birds.
In an English treatise on the "Hy
giene of Bird Keeping." by George
Creswell. attention is called to the
thoughtless practice of hanging birds
in cages just above the level of the
sashes of windows and to the mistak
en kindness of hanging a cage in a cor
ner of a sitting room or a kitchen near
the ceiling. In the one case the bird is
subjected to drafts and will in all
probability develop catarrh and bron
chitis, and in the other it lives in a
vitiated atmosphere.
GENIUS.
Men give me some credit for
genius. All the genius I have lies
in this: When I have a subject in
hand I study it profoundly. Day
and night it is before me. 1 explore
it in all its bearings. My mind be
comes pervaded with if. Then the
effort which I make the people are
pleased to call the fruit of genius. It
is the fruit of tabor and thought

WHEN THE HARD
WALLOP STINGS
Tommy Dixon Tells of Effects
of a Terrific Blow.
In On Fight Kansas Scrapper Scored
Knockout In Fifth Round, but He
Had Fought Mechanically After First
and Never Remembered the Battle.
How does a fighter feel when he gets
a wallop that sends him reeling half-
iway across the ring and into the can
vas? In answering that question some
of the experiences of Tommy Dixon,
the Kansas City lightweight, are inter
esting.
Tommy was engaged in a bout with
a fighter named Lewis. In the first
round Lewis landed a wallop on Dix
on's head that left him stranded in the
thought league. It was an awful wal-

lop, but it didn't knopk Dixon down;
Just stunned him. Tommy stalled
through the first round and went back
to his corner without knowledge of
what he did. He went back in the
second round and fought hard. He re
peated in the third and the fourth and
finally knocked Lewis out in the fifth.
A Crack on the Bean, Then Darkness.
"And to" this day I have no recollec
tion of entering the ring." says Dixon
In speaking of that bout. "1 got u
crack on the bean right on the jump
and knew nothing during the remain
der of the bout. They say 1 fought
hard, but it must have been mechan
ically, as I sure didn't know what 1
was doing. After the bout I went into
a cafe to get something to eat. They
asked me how I felt, but I couldn't re
member being in a fight. I thought
I had fallen and hurt my head and had
not been allowed to enter the ring. I
didn't know anything about it next
morning, and I've ..never been able to
remember anything of that fight."
Dixon tells of another bout in which
he fought mechanically almost to the
end. It was his last mill with Jack
White, one of Cleveland's sturdy Differs
and a heavier man than Dixon. The
second round was on. and Tommy got
In front of a blow that sent him to the
mat. He got up with his customary
speed, but again went down before a
well aimed wallop. Another biff sent
him to the floor a third time, and that
was the wallop that seDt Tommy's
senses to the padded cell.
Covered Up and Fought On.
"I kept fighting.'" says Dixon, "but 1
didn't know much about what was go
ing on. They say that I covered up
most of the time and wasn't ait often
after those three wallops in the sec
ond; But something happened after
five rounds. It was In the eighth.
White hit me another Wallop that sent
me reeling into the ropes just as the
gong sounded. That blow brought my
memory back. I felt the sting of the
wallop, nnd suddenly I saw the ropes
of the ring. A whole sea of faces rose
up before me, and I noticed the gleam
ing lights for the first time since the
second round, I went to the corner
and asked what round it was. They
told me it was the eighth, ninth com
ing up. ' I was surprised. In the next
two rounds I stood and fought toe to
toe with White. He beat me, but I
came back strong after being absolute
ly out of the fighting for five rounds
that Is, as far as I knew."

Woman's World
Interesting Home Life of
Mrs. Philander C. Knox.
Oopy right by American Press Association
MRS. PHTLANDEB O. KNOX.
By far the most Interesting side of
the life of a public man or woman is
the domestic side, and probably there
la no woman in Washington's official
set who could stand closer scrutiny
from this viewpoint than Mrs. Pbilan
der C Knox, wife of the secretary of
state.
Mrs. Knor- is very domestic in her
tastes, although she ably assists ber
husband in the social drties of his po
aitlon. She has a special love of flow
ers, and the charming fancy Is hen
of always having her homes, both at
Valley Forge, in Pennsylvania, and her"
charming house at tbe capital, ndorn
ed with violets arranged in cut glass
bowls. When living at Valley Forge.
Mrs. Knox takes a special interest in
the flower garden and has much skill
in raising plants. Many a delicacy
finds its way to tbe White House ta
ble under ber direction, for all tbe old
fashioned accomplishments, like tbe
making of pickles and preserves and
Jellies, are known to her.
Perhaps there are few women in
public life who are better or more
constant readers than Mrs. Knox.
There Is a conveniently arranged light
at tbe head of her bed. and one of ber
fancies is for reading after she re
tires.
The residence of Secretary and Mrs
Knox is one of the best adapted to en
tertain on a large scale of any In
Washington. It is situated on K
street, one of tbe fashionable thor
oughfares ' at tbe capital, and . Is of
light buff brick, with white stone
trimmings. Its generous entrance,
wide windows and lofty appearance
make it one of the most imposing rest
dences In that part of the city. Every
detail of tbe furnishing has been care
fully thought out by its mistress from
the rich lace stretched plainly over
the great plate glass windows to tbe
most minute furnishings. Everything
is suggestive of elegance and good
taste.
The Family Bulletin Board.
In a large family where the members
go out a great deal a family bulletin
board is a convenience. It may be of
a sheet of celluloid, a small blackboard
or a large slate with pencil attached
and should be hung in a part of the
bouse where all tbe members of tbe
family pass at some time of the day.
The dining room or the front ball
would be a good place to hang it.
On the bulletin board tbe family post
notices of regular interest which they
have forgotten to Impart at breakfast
or dinner. One day's substance ran
like this:
"Had a letter from Mary Smith. Sbe
wants Tom to send ber tbe address of
that antique dealer where he bougbt
the blue pitcher. Sue."
"Won't be home to dinner tonight.
Tom."
"Don't forget the church supper Fri
day. " There'll be no supper at home.
Mother."
"Has any one seen my tennis rack
et? Jean."
"Mrs. Henderson phoned: wants
mother to call ber up as soon as she
comes In. Jean."
And so it goes. Messages, callers,
telephone calls, neighborhood news, en
gagements, lost and found articles, are
tabulated here for tbe benefit of all.
Tbe result is a surprising lessening of
household friction. Occasionally some
one pastes up a squib or joke or bit of
Terse jsrbicb the rest of tbe family will
n joy. Even the cook and housemaid
use tbe bulletin board and like the
(convenience of it The board may be
washed whenever necessary.

SOWING WILD OATS.
"Oh, he .will settle down all right
when he has sown bis wild oats."
But will he?.
And what will the harvest be?
There is a popular impression that
youth male, not female, youth must

man.
But If so
Why not let the girl also sow wild

What about the whirlwind?
He or she who sows wild oats must
eap wild oats not wheat "What
ver a man soweth that shall he also

Not only must be reap the sort of
t;rain he sows, but more than he sows.
Evil propagates evil. A grain of wheat
will "stool out" in the growing, pro

vhich makes a tough harvest.
it is Bard work, this harvesting of
evil seed. The stalks are tough and

CHARACTER BUILDING.
Your character is like the Brooklyn
bridge. It is made of the tiniest
strands twisted together. What
are the strands? Thoughts, feel
ings, choices. These bring forth
actions. Actions, repeated, form
habits. Habits make the cables of
character, and on these hang the
issues of life. In infancy you have
no character You have inherited
tendencies, but no character. Char
acter each soul builds by its own
conduct You are now building a
superstructure more lasting than the
Brooklyn bridge. D. C. Knowles.
