Farm lands in France are the most in tensively cultivated in the world. That is .they are so treated as to give the maximum of return to the owner. The traveler in France finds that this ia because the average farmer is the average landowner, whether his holdings be 1 acre of 500 acres. The farmer conserves his land; he takes care that the crops do not cause it to depreciate in value. But were the State the landowner, what would the farmer do? While he had an opportunity he would take the maximum from the soil, deplete it of its fertility. And with Single Tax in operation the State. WOULD be the landlord in fact if not in theory the Single Tax ers declare as much and they point with pride to the fact that all farm lands, all city lots will ultimately be state owned by the operation of Sin gle Tax. But as state ownership would mean depreciation of land we should soon come to the situation where Single Tax has absolutely destroyed the fer tility of land and therefore its value to the state or any one else. Is that what the Single Taxers de sire? ELEMENT OF CHANCE So long as there is an element of chance in business undertakings and commercial enterprise, so long shall we have our successful and unsuccess ful men and women rich and poof; and the unsuccessful man will labor for his successful competitor. Thus the wheels of fortune continually grind, the products of which are the varied conditions, physical mental and financial in which we find the mem bers of society today. Fortune and misfortune, mental and phyiscal inabilities in a hundred forms play their part in the destiny of man. In face of these well known facts the advocates of Single Tax tell you that when private property in land is de stroyed which Single Tax will do the factors above named, which to a great degree are responsible for the By THEODORE P.

Single Taxers claim that when pri vate property In land is, abolished, with it will go the unequal distribu tion of wealth and all the ills and im perfections of society. Then will be the dawn of the dreamer's socialmille nnium. We have heard of people who insist on spending the greater portion of their time in sleep so that they may dream sweet dreams, thus defying en vironment. Single Taxers are far ad vanced in the science of dreaming, for them sleep is not a necessary con dition. It is certainly a marvelous age! Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. GETTING READY. They were getting ready to "play house." The house was wonderfully made, with a clothesline for the framework and a bedspread for covering. The walls consisted of old shawls and odd garments. Inside four sticks driven into the ground represented bedposts and a box the dresser. The kitchen held many utensils, while iu the parlor there was a davenport almost big enough for one girl to sit upon. It was Saturday afternoon. For hours the little girls had skir mished about the different homes, bringing a garment here and a box there. And finally when all was ready to begin housekeeping it was time to go home. There was no chance to rock the dolls or receive company or hold an afternoon tea or prepare a meal. And, moreover, they must carry the stuff back to their homes. ..And the father of the girl on whose premises the "house" had been built scolded them because they had "littered up his back yard with trash." Well, of such is our life. We are all children a little larger grown, and we are forever getting ready to have a good time. Always we plan and fetch and carry, antici pating the day when we shall enjo1' ourselves. And before we know it it is almost time to go home. We plan an education. Surely when our diplomas shall be earned it will be easy sailing. But commencement day. to which we looked forward as the end. was but the beginning of prepara tions. Now. when we shall have married and "settled down" But then comes the baby the real doll and to "get the rabbit skin to wrap the Baby Bunting in" is the commencement of a long hunt. Play day? To be sure When the children are educated and settled the work of carrying and build ing will be ended and we shall have a good long breathing spell, and. faith, we shall need it. But the westering sun is low. and we are not so keen to play as in the morning, and we must take care of the little we have, because we cannot earn as once we did. and And then we go home. Well, if the girls but realized, they got a lot of. fun out of I heir planning and their building, and so must we. Therefore let us takV what joy may come to us from the passing moment. And when it is all over may no ons scold us for having littered up his back yard. Lighthouses. The Greeks attributed the first light houses to Hercules, and he was consid ered the protector of voyagers. It is claimed by some that Homer refers to lighthouses in the nineteenth book of the "Iliad." Virgil mentions a light on a temple to Apollo which, visible far out at sea, warned and guided mari ners. The Clock and the Man. When a clock is fas you can always turn it back, but it's different with a young man New York Times President of Inter-borough Rapid Transit Co. of New York analyze at too great length all of Scenes In a Fearful Rail way Wreck Near Corning, N. Y. Photos copyright, 1912, by American w HAT is said to have been the worst wreck in the history of the Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western railroad oocvred recently near Corning, N. I., when an express train running at a speed of sixty five miles an hour telescoped three coaches of a limited train Forty-one persons were killed and as many more seriously injured in the crash, which came early in the morning while a dense fog 'prevailed. The greatest loss of life was in the rear day coach (wooden) of the limited, in which the locomotive of the express buried itself The upper photograph shows the wreck of the express locomotive with fragments of the coach, the aisle matting of which is draped like a scarf over the tangled mass of steel and wood The lower picture is of a steel car which sustained comparatively little damage On the next day on the Ligonier Valley railroad, in Pennsyl vania, another collision occurred in which twenty-one lives were lost WHAT Ci BE E ON A FIVE ACRE TRACT (OREGON CITY PUBLICITY) If you are inclined towards apples, or pears, first plant your trees 50 to the acre, and about 29 feet apart Care for them and bring them to ma turity and when fully matured you will have a net income of anywhere from $1000 to $2500, from five acres per year. However it must be under stood that these conditions can exist only when market are available. Or egon City affords a good market and is only twelve miles from Portland. Before the maturity of your fruit trees you can, by proper attention and care make $1500 pef year net. Raspberries, Loganberries, Mam moth Blackberries or Strawberries will easily net $250.00 per acre per year. Celery ( rhubarb, asparagus and other market garden products can be easily made to produce anywhere from $300 to $500 per acre. Therefore out of 5 acres, set aside 3, for the production of the above, all of which can be done between the young fruit treesj your income will easily be $1000 from 3 acres per year net. The two acres left is ample for your house, barn and chicken house and yards. There is plenty of room left to keep 500 chickens, and many peaple are making $2.00 per hen per year. Let us be conservative and say $1.00. Surely there cannot be any doubt about the possibility of making an in come of $1500 per year from five acres Fifteen Hundred Dollars Per Year Is Independent, Double That is Riches. The conditions in which the aver age wage earner finds himself in the cities makes life hardly worth living. How different it would be if those same people could be placed on 5 or 10 acres in Clackamas County, Ore gon. The constant grind of city life is getting harder every year and there fore the greater need of studying this "BACK TO THE SOIL" thought which is sixty years old and worthy of repe tition. A Philadelphian who was and has been in business in Philadelphia for 20 years, through hard work, careful management and thrift, succeeded in saving the sum of $2500, AN AVER AGE OF $125.00 PER YEAR. He re flected, as well he might, upon the situation, and decided "BACK TO THE SOIL" for him and that "TEN ACRES WAS ENOUGH." His story makes very interesting reading but summed up the results as follows: First year paid all expenses and made ends meet. Second year paid all expenses and saved $750.00. . " - Third yead paid all expenses and saved. $1500.00. Thus at the end of the third year, he had saved $2250. It took 20 years of hard work in business in Philadel phia to save $2500. A further asset of considerable value was improved health and vigor, which added 20 years to his lease of life. The above was done in a section of the county in which climatic and soil conditions were largely against him. What was done by the Philadelphian sixty years ago can more than dupli Association. cate today, in Clackamas County. There are millions of people whose record corresponds with that of the Philadelphian who, during the past 20 years have not succeeded any bet ter in business than as related to him. How few there are that can say: "I did as the Philadelphian did." Thousands who are struglling hard for a mere existence, might be indi pendent if they only had the courage to break away from their present en vironment. Have you the courage to break away, or will you be one of those ! struggling 20 years hence, in the same ! manner as today? Think of the op portunities you have missed in the past, and the oportunities for your children in the future; and with ex- isting climatic conditions and the mar kets of the world opened to us by the opening of the Panama Canal, should help the young man to decide upon the course pursued by the Philadelphian. The United States Government has just completed arrangements to make free the new locks at Oregon- City, which opens up a vast tradable terri tory thereto, and gives all necessary tidewater freight rates to all parts of the world. Think what it means to this garden spot of Oregon. Think what it means ts. you if you avail yourself of the op portunities as they now exist in Clack amas County, near Oregon City. Dueling In Old Ireland. In the old days dueling was almost a pastime among the Irish squires. It was the dessert to the dinner. There is the story of the Galway gentleman who was seen practicing with a pistol in his back garden.

Every woman who has reached a certain age without securing a husband may, if she choose, be regis tered as one of the younger daughters of the king. This places her under the king's protection and compels him to End a husband for her. These husbands, however, are all law breakers. They are not sent to prison or fined or executed, but are condemn ed to marry one of the king's adopted younger daughters. The condemned men are allowed to make their own selection, but with certain limitations. Those whose offenses are light are per mitted to choose from among the bet ter grade of women, the most attrac tive in physical appearance and amia bility, while the grave offenders must marry the ugliest and worst tempered. Now, there was in that country a man who was very poor, so poor that he could not give his daughter a dow ry, and, although she was comely and of a very amiable disposition, for this reason her father could not provide a husband for her. One day Ehrika. who was but seventeen years old. was walking in the public gardens when a young man barely a year older than she passed her and looked at her ad miringly. She dropped her eyes before his gaze, but not before she had seen that he was a handsome young fellow, and, judging by his dress and appear ance, he was a gentleman. Sometimes love comes like a flash of lightning, and so it did in this case be tween these two young persons. Young Didarien could' not forget the little maid he had seen in the park, and Ehrika's heart had been inflamed by the sight of the handsome youth. He walked in the park the next day at the same hour, and so did she. each hoping they might meet. And so they did. This time Didarien spoke to Ehrika, and after that they met often in the park, though the par ents of neither knew of their meetings. One day Didarien's father said to him: "My son, we have very little prop erty, and it is time you were making a marriage that will assist us. I have an offer for you from one who is will ing to give his daughter a handsome dowry." . The young man said nothing to this, for he was not expected to say any thing. The matter had been arranged by his father, and that is all there was about it. The settlements were made and the wedding day fixed. But just before the nuptials were to be celebrated Didarien was arrested for theft. He had gone up to a man who earned his purse in his hand ou the street, snatched it and ran away. This, of course, put a stop to his matrimonial affair. The father of the girl lie was to marry of course de clined to permit his daughter to marry a criminal, and the father of Di darien was plunged into grief on ac count of the disgrace his son had brought upon himself and the oppor tunity he had thrown away. "Oh, my son." he exclaimed, "how could you have done- such a thing knowing that you gave up more than there could possibly be in the purse? You will now, instead of marrying a lady with a dowry, be obliged to marry one of the king's younger daughters." "Be thankful, my father, that I have not committed a heinous crime, like murder. There were in the purse I stole only a few copper coins, so I will be permitted to choose for my wife one of the most desirable of the king's daughters." "But you will get no fortune with her." "1 may get something better than a fortune." The old man -turned away angrily and would have nothing more to do with such a hopeless case. Didarien was sent to the place where the king's younger daughters were assembled, each to choose a husband from among the prisoners. He stood up in line with his feilow prisoners, and the young women cast glances at them with a view to selecting one who was the least repulsive of the lot Suddenly a young girl darted from the line of women, and, rushing to ward Didarien, they threw their arms about each other. "I choose this man for my husband," she said. Then Didarien was permitted to go with her to be married and was again a free man. After Didarien had been betrothed by her father he met Ehrika in the park and told her what had happened. Then they laid a plan together. The girl went to her father and told him that she wished to be entered as one of the king's younger daughters. Since he could not give her a dowry lie con sented. When the couple left the place where they had been married many-persons were standing about to see the strange couples come out. for the prisoners were usually a hardened set. and since none but the ugliest and worst temper ed women were registered as the king's younger daughter they and their hus bands were usually jeered by the trowd. But when Didarien and Ehrika came forth, two young and innocent persons. smiling, the girl blushing, they were recognized at once as a pair of lovers. The news was soon spread abroad that a romance had occurred in a marriage of a king's daughter. nnl the king, hearing uf it. sent for the couple nd gave the bride dowry. Feminine Finesse.

ESTACADA The Clackamas river has become a favorite place for the disappointed of earth to "shuffle off this mortal coil." The third suicide was take from the river last week. This man had remov ed all means of identity even cutting out the initials from his hat He had filled his hat with stones and with his necktie had tied it about his neck. A sack of rocks was tied about his waist. Some time in his life he had lost a thumb from his left hand. A scar up on the abdomen indicated that he had been operated upon at some time. He was f6und in the back water opposite the Estacada pavilion by a boatman. This was about 600 feet above where John Bates and Beers died. The toll of life along the Clackamas river has been heavy this year. Beers was the first. LaFrance, of Portland, fell from a log and lost his life at the mouth of the North Fork. Estacada's deaf and dumb man was attacked by an epi leptic fit while fishing and was drown ed at Cazadero about ten days ago. The last is the suicide last week It is the custom of R. G. Ames, Es tacada's marshal, to go through the park of an evening to rout the hoboes who may be camped there. July 19, in company with a friend, he was per forming the usual duty and as they walked along incautiously turned down what has become known as "suicide path" as it leads to the place where Beers, and Bates took the fatal plunge. "What is that?" said Ames' friend. Ames looked and says he beheld the shadowy semblance of a man going down the trail to the river. He avers it was wearing a long overcoat as Beers was dressed, but that trees and other objects were visible through the apparition. Both men were too appal led to follow and in a short time after the apparition disapeared over the banks they heard a mighty splash in the river. Beers disappeared April 19, and was found May 19, and Ames expects to see his ghost on August 19. ' Moody's Reply.
