A SURPRISING COTTON CROP One of the products of the field of 1911 did not disappoint expectation. This was cotton. Along till the lat ter part of May of that year there was a pretty general belief that most of the cereals would break all the re cords. Acreage was larger, and the weather along to that time had been favorable. The county believed that -the 3,125,000,000-bushel corn yield of 1910 would be surpassed, and that the 748,000,000-bushel wheat crop of 1901 would be left behind. Disappointment came with the drought of June, July and August, and the trade revival which big crops would bring failed to come to hand. But cotton more than met the most sanguine predictions. The returns ; from the gins which have just been made public by the Department of Agriculture show that 16,205,097 bales of the regulation size had been ac counted for at last reports. These are the actual figures of the growth of 1911, from which estimates and guesses have been eliminated. This much cotton has put in an appear ance' at the gins. All of it which has not been sold along to this time is ready for delivery. The largest crop previous to 1911 was that of 1904, which was 13,697,000 bales, but the ; recent one has left it far in the rear, j The 14,000,000 mark, which the coun-! try has been looking to see attained in the near future has been passed, and i the 16,000,000 will stand, for a time, ! a3 cotton's "highest." Is this crop too large? Obviously : net. Price is low at the present time, : but this is due more to the torpor in ; general trade than it is to the big yield of 1911. If industry were as ac tive now as it was in 1909 and 1910 the demand would quickly absorb all Panama Canal Gradually I - .a . h& Si " i jj 1 President LEGUIA s minent, grow even CLOSER and that the ties political, commercial and social which draw all Americans together will become ever MORE NTTMEROUS. And who can doubt that this will be the case ? WE ALL HAVE A TUG AT THE HEART WHEN WE THINK OF THAT STUPENDOUS WORK THE PANAMA CANAL WHICH, FOR THE GOOD AND PROGRESS OF HUMANITY, IS SURELY DRAWING THE TWO AMERICAS TOGETHER. As it seems to me, every day brings my boy, who is studying at the University of Wisconsin, SHEARER ME BY THOUSANDS OE JULES. 1 All we need is PEACE that will permit and MONEY that will make possible the development of our country. By the exercise of pa tience and patriotism I believe my people will obtain both. -'. the cotton which is in sight It must he remembered that the population of the world increases at a fairly lively pace, and nearly three-fourths of the world's cotton is furnished by the United States. The larger the crop produced here the more difficult it is for gamblers to corner it, and the freer will be the market for it The gamblers are responsible for the fran tic efforts which are being made by England, France, Germany and the reset of the manufacturing countries to get new sources of supply. They have not been very sucessful thus far, although there is a slow but steady increase in the quantity grown in the rest :of the manufacturing countries a few years of the 16,000,000-bae yield in 1911, supplemented by an occasion al jump to 17,000,000 or 18,000,000 bales, would discourage the attempts to raise the staple elsewhere, and pre serve to us a little1; at least, of our monopoly in production. Live Wirelets (By Edgar Bates.) Everybody is doing it hunting through the closet for last years straw hat and half-shoes. The 'street orator" last night told the crowd that the people were back of T. R. How far back? The papers are often full of "single tax" but we don't have much about "double tax." "Double tax" is where you go to a restaurant, get a cup of left over coffee, 2 pieces of burnt toast two cold storage eggs, a bowl of knot ty breakfast shavings and have your check call for forty cents. The automobile trade is like the millinery business. Each season brings about new changes in "head gear." Nearly every boy and girl can tell you how many days, hours and min utes till vacation starts. So can some of the teachers. r Already an agitation has started against the coinage of three-cent pieces. We won't object to them pro vided we get enough. Lots of talk about the proposed 8 hour law for the mtill workers and there is of course two sides to the question. The writer knows what it is to work a 13 and one-half hour shift, and when he worked on No. 1, the wages received were $1.75 a day. At the present time the men receive over $2 for this same work with a substantial bonus in case the twenty- four hour run exceeds 190 tons. The most ardent advocate of the proposed measure will admit that a subsequent shrinkage of wages must necessarily follow the shrinkage of the shift which would curtail the mill output. Or if three shifts were put on the ap proximate output would remain the same, and it. could hardly be expect ed the mill people to pay one-third more wages per twenty-four hours for the average run of two hundred tons. Perhaps a far more serious question to the community is the large influx of foreigners who seem willing to work long hours for the - minimum wage. Living as they do, from half a dozen to twenty in a house, existing on the cheapest kind of food stuffs, they work for wages on which it is nearly impossible for an American workingman to have a home and raise rawing P B Two Americas Closer By President LEGUIA of Peru f OR myself and all patri otic Peruvians I can say that our fondest wish and trust is that the tra ditional friendship so long hap pily existing between the Unit ed States and Peru will, with the geographical changes so im- a family. . That the American people are ex tremely fond of music is realized when it is known that a single talk ing machine company making only disc records does a million dollar bus iness every thirty days. One thing which has not kept apace with the increased price of everything else is good books. In fact 'one may now purchase the best makes of all the standard authors for a few cents a volumn. Each year the number of books printed and sold increases with leaps and bounds and the United States is probably the best read coun try tn the world. The magazine publishers eveidently believe that the post office department will soon increase the postal rates on magazines. One of the leading publi cations has already increased its sub scription rate to more than what it costs to buy the magazine month to month at the news stand. This move puts the increased cost of transporta tion on the subscriber in an indirect way. At present the news dealer pays postage on the magazines but with the subscription rate more than the price as purchased each month, the result is as usualthe consumer pays the increased cost. The movement to forbid a manu facturer to establish the retail price on his finished product is raising a storm of protests from the retail mer chants all over the country.' They re alize that such a law will nourish cut throat stores, tend to reduce the qual ity of the articles effected and tend to destroy the confidence the buying public has in an article, sold at ,a standard established price the coun.-. try over. To keep in line with the advance ment of modern business methods, Oregon Cityites can now enjoy mod ern vaudeville while making their Sat urday night purchases. OFFICERS ELECTED BY OREGON CITY MOOSE Oregon City Lodge No. 961, Loyal Order of Moose, held is first meeting in Willamette Hall Wednesday even ing and elected the following officers for the current year: Charles S. No ble, Past Dictator; D. F. Skene, Die tator; A. A. Price, ;Past Dictator; Lewis D. Morgan, Prelate; Ralph L. bhepherd, Financial Secretary; P. Milton Price, Treasurer; J. Everett Downey, Sergeant-at-arms; Trustees, Howland Hoadley, Lee J. Caufield and Robert Fromm; Inner Guard, Geo. F. Chambers; Outer Guard, Edwin A. Os- burn. As an indication of the rapid growth of the local lodge, a class of thirty responded to the call of the Moose and were initiated into the antlered herd. This class is a body of repre sentative men of the city and vicinity and will prove to be a great help in the upbuilding of local Moosedom. With the addition of these baby Moose the herd now numbers 125 with a goodly number yet to be brand ed. The enthusiasm manifested itself by the appointment of two captains who chose a team of ten men each to lead the strays into the haunts of the Moose. The captains appointed by Oragnizer Bert Westcott were R. L. Shepherd and D. F. Skene. Mr. Shep herd will undoubtedly live up to his name and be a good herder but the other captain is (S.) Keen to go on a still hunt for stray candidates. Dictator D. F. Skene appointed the various committees to look after the sick Moose, arrange for entertainment for members and their families and to find ways and means to provide "a permanent home for Lodge No. 961, Loyal Order of Moose. Organizer Bert Westcott states that he will be here for some time to as sist in bringing the Oregon City Lodge up to its highest efficiency. He predicts a brilliant future for this lodge and states that he will hold the charter open during his stay here. The lodge was favored by a visit from R. S. Beattie who is editor of the Moose Herald, with headquarters in Portland. Addresses also were de livered by Professor Betzel, Howland Hoadley, H. Bowers and others. There will be another large class initiated into the "Howdy, Paps" next Wednesday evening. By that time the hunters will undoubtedly have made a big killing and be able to show the lodge the result of their trip into the wood for a week. Seriously Busy. The Earl of Elgin vhen he was vice roy of India was not , good horseman, and he was always rather uneasy and flustered when riding. One day when he was riding near Simla and devoting all his attention to keeping his seat, an aid-de-camp came galloping up with some important news. He told his excellency what he had come about, but the earl rode on without replying. The aid-de-camp rode alongside and, after a few minutes, thinking his mes sage had not been heard, repeated it in a rather louder tone. The earl turned upon him indignant ly. "Great Scott, man!" he exclaimed. "Don't you see I'm busy riding? Don't Interrupt me!" Catty. Jane You should have seen the handsome chap who threw me a kiss from the car window.

Her mother is a fine needle woman, and Princess Mary, it Is said, bids fair to equal the queen in this respect. She has never been sent to boarding school, as her mother was, aud now that she has reached the age of fifteen it is expected that her education will be completed at home. For several years she has beeu taking lessons in cooking, and her grandmother. Queen Alexandra, has had her Initiated into the art of butter and cheese making at the model dairy, which Is one of her pet interests at Sandringham.

Labouchere once said that political audiences generally applauded the sen tences that were least iuteiligible, especially if they happened to be quo tations from the classics. On one oc casion, while addressing a political audience, he said, "Gentlemen, what we want is government for the masses by the masses, or, in the words of the old Greek classic, 'Zoe mou sas aga-1 po!'" There was loud and prolonged' cheering. The humorist refrained from spoiling the effect by confessing that the words, being translated into Eng lish, meant, "O life of me, I love thee!" and were the last line of "Maid of Athens." Turenne's Equivalent. A French historian remarked to a gathering of distinguished men that no fewer than eight marsLals of France were created to take the place of the great Turenne. .

Johnson at their home at Gresham May 4. Guests began arriving early. Soon the commodious home was filled wth children, grandchildren, neigh bors and frends. In the archway of the double par lors, the venerable couple repeated the marriage vows made in 1852 and were again prononucend man and wife by Rev. H. L, Sinclair editor of the Gresham Outlook. A biographical sketch of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson was read by one of the guests, and after congratulations and best wishes the company, led by the aged couple re paired to the dining room, where a sumptuoueanquet was partaken of. A numberof those present on this occasion were also in attendance at their golden wedding Anniversary celebrated at their home May 4, 1902. During the day Miss Maud Camp bell and Mr. and Mrs. Ben Campbell of Portland, enteretained those pres ent with instrumental and vocal mus ic. Presents of cut glass, silver, etc, were presented Mr. and Mrs. John son. Those in attendance were: Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Johnson, Gresham, W. H. Johnson, Portland; E. R. Johnson and wife, Portland; Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Pinkley, Boring; Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Cooke, Oregon City; J .R. Morton, Portland; Charles Dohlquist, Jr., Bor ing; W. Dohlquist, Gresham; Ben Compbell and wife, Portland; Miss Maude Campbell, Portland; Mrs. Me da Johnson, McMinnville; Mr. and Mrs. Henry Cooke, Oregon City; Mrs. Mary Kesterson, Gresham; Mr. and Mrs. D. Creighton, Portland; Mr. and Mrs. Lindquist and son, Marion, Gresham; Mr. and Mrs. M. D. Kern Gresham; Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Cooke, Clackamas; Miss Lucie Johnson, Gres ham; Miss Laura Davis, Gresham; Miss Grace Lawrence, Gresham; Miss Hope Anderson, Gresham; H. L, Sin clair, Gresham. The following biography will be of interest to the many friends and ac quaintances in this county, of this estimable couple. "From many standpoints the life and work of S. B. Johnson, once a large land owner of Clackamas Coun ty is worthy of emulation as illus trating what may be accomplished by perserverance in the face of little en couragement and practically not ma terial assistance. "Mr. Johnson, who is well versed in the pioneer undertakings of this coun ty wa3 born in Howard county. Mo., Feb. 5, 1833, his father's farm being near Boonslick. . The family was es tablished in Missouri by Josiah John son, the father of S. B. Johnson, who emigrated 'from Patrick County, Va., in 1832 and in 1840 moved to Polk county, the same state. Three years later he settled in Cedar county, Mis souri, and after farming for three years, moved to Jackson county in 1845. Seven years later May 4, 1852, the son S .B. Johnson started across the plains, terminating his journey in Clackamas County. He was married on the day of his departure from Mis-1 souri for his new home in the far west. , "He had five yokes of oxen with which to complete the journey; he came out at the mouth of the Sandy river and located on the Clackamas at what is now Oregon City. During the winter he stayed in the town and in 1853 went up the Clackamas and worked in a sawmill for a few months A little later he located on a dona tion claim of three hundred and twen ty acres one mile west of Damascus, and after a year's trial sold out and located on a farm of three hundred and twenty acres, one and a half miles nexthwest of Damascus. "Of this property fifty acres are in cultivation and the improvements made theron are of the most modern kind. He erected a . large sawmill making a specialty of the manufact ure of ship-kness which he sold in Portland, Oregon. "Later he sold his sawmill and his beautifal home and moved to Gresham where he has built a large and com modious residence and where he ex pects to reside the remainder of his life. To some extent Mr. Johnson has left his home interest to mingle with the undertakings incident to so pros perous a County. "A Democrat in politics, his sympa thies are with the common people, and with those who struggle with ad verse conditions. . He is the friend of education having materially promoted the cause as a member of the school board. "Mrs. Johnson who was born in Jackson County, Mo., has courageous ly borne the trials and deprivations incident to pioneer life. She is the mother of nine children, Mary, Jane, Charles F., Ellen, Dora, Earl and John H., deceased. The surviving children are Mrs. Hester Pinkley, William H. and Edward R. Johnson." MRS. TOOZE READS EXCELLENT PAPER The Women's Christian Temper ance Union met at the Presbyterian church Tuesday afternoon, about for ty members being in attendance. Mrs. L. H. Olnlstead, president, presided over the meeting. After the devotion al exercises an excellent paper on "The Training of Children" was read by Mrs. P. J. S. Tooze. The subject was treated in a clear, forcible . and common sense manner. Mrs. Tooze advocated the single standard of mor ality for boys and girls; a closer su pervision by parents establishing and maintaining relations of truth and confidence between, the parents and their children. Miss Pickthorn read very impressively "Mary Elizabeth." Little Miss Andrews rendered a pi ano solo, and the three Lenon sisters sang beautifully. Refreshments were served. Wildcats of Great Britain. The wildcat, the oldest member of the British fauna and a resident ever since the days of the mammoth, is rap idly becoming extinct. It still lingers in jarts of north Wales and the more secluded districts of Scotland. Wild cats, like snakes, were never known in Ireland, the specimens reported from there having been domesticated "tab bies" which had taken to the woods. These ferocious creatures have to face the hostility of a dual alliance, being detested alike by gamekeepers and, ow ing to a partiality for lamb, by shep herds. But the reforesting of rough tracts of country may possibly save them from extermination. Fontainebleau'a Vipers. In 'the forest of Fontaineblean, France, nearly 8,000 vipers were killed in the course of one year.
