for the visitors, and James officiated
for the Beavers.
In the opening canto Page went to
bat and rapped out a two-bagger to
right field. Kreuger made a good
throw into third base, but Lindsey
fumbled, and Page went right on to
the next to the last sack. Moore, the
next man up, flew out, and Page
romped home after the ball had been
caught. Magart put a safe one be
tween first and second, and Howard
got to first when Derrick dropped a
return ball from the field. Gill fan
ned, and Maggart got caught at sec

OREGON.
In the March number of the Cham

poem , written by Mrs. M. M. Clarke,
whose word picture shows that she
loves and lives in Oregon.
My Country Is Oregon.
By Mrs. M. M. Clarke.
My Country is Oregon, the best under
the sun,
Of thee I'll sing,
Land of the apple and prune, from
thy vast orchards rise,
Sweet scent to thee.
My country does contain vast forests,
fisheries, game,
And rivers great. N
Opportunities abound above and un
der ground,
Even the ocean clings to her with
pride.
My country has best of climes, good
crops and prosperous times
All through each year;
The scenery can't be beat, air, waters,
pure and sweet, .
O'er valley, hill, and plain, content
ment reigns.
My country has vast space, a home
. for every race,
To thee she calls;
Come! Let her prove her worth, no
place like her on earth,
Come on the the first train West
To Oregon.
NO PLACE LIKE OREGON;
SAYS MELDRUM RESIDENT
Porter Davidson, long a resident of
this county, has returned to his home
at Meldrum, after a four weeks' trip
to Clinton, Almont and other towns
in Iowa, his native state.
He says that it was necessary for
him to wear an overcoat practically
all the time he was in the East. He
returns to this state more imbued
with the notion, that Oregon is the
best place on the face of the earth.
He says that he would not trade his
place at Meldrum for the biggest
ranch in Iowa.

An Incident of the
French Revolution
By MARTHA V. MONROE
'Antoine le Beouf was a leader of
one of the arroudisseineuts into which
Paris is divided, and when the great
revolution cuuie ou so far as bis sway
extended it was absolute. Jean Millet
was a leader. 'too, but a Conservative.
The revolution was like a roaring
stream, that gathered power as it sped
on. Time came wbcn those who had
been instrumental in starting it lost
their heads by tryiug to control it.
Millet weut into it hoping to reorgan
ize the existing government. Before
it finished its mud course its object
was to get rid of the existing govern
ment and the class that supported it
by means of the guillotine.
When order was restored under the
directory. Le Beouf. who . had made
bitter enemies during the period of
blood running from having sent so
many persons to the guillotine, found
himself exsed to plots .hatched
against bim for purposes of reveuge.
One who had lost a near and dear
relative spent a long time in manufac
turing a case of murder against him.
had him arrested aud tried. Millet
presided as judge, and it was in his
power so to instruct the Jury that they
must bring in a verdict of guilty or
not guilty, as he chose. When it be
came his duty to do this, instead of nt
oace addressing the jury be addressed
the prisoner.
"Citizen Antoine le Beouf. stand up!"
Le Beouf. who was much broken by
bis troubles, could only stand by lean
ing on his daughter, a young woman
perhaps twenty-three or twenty-four
years old.
"Citizen 1 Beotif. do you remember
during the reign of terror one who at
the time the Jirondists were executed
protested against their execution?"
There was no reply.
"Do you remember that you sent out
an order for the arrest of that person,
that he was brought before you and
adjudged an enemy of the revolution?
He was confined in a room in your
house the prisons were too full to ad
mit him-till he could be sent to the
guillotine. He escaped and strove as
before to keep the French people from
committing political suicide by their
murderous course. Tell me, Le Beouf,
do you remember that man?"
"Yes." moaned the prisoner, "I re
member him."
All who heard .the judge speak be
lieved his words to be preliminary to a
vengeance upon the accused. They
supposed that he would in the end ask
Le Beouf if he thought that one who
had sent so many to the guillotine
should be spared from the .guillotine,
then instruct the jury that it was their
duty under the law to bring in a ver
dict of guilty. Tbe girl who sustained
her father kept her eyes on the judge In
a frightened, reproachful look. like the
rest dreading bis final words.
"This man Millet, who was trying to
stem the butchery of yourself and oth
ers, kept himself out of your way. You
tried to get your hands on him by open
means, but. failing, tried treachery.
Yon sent for him on the ground that
you wished to form a union between,
the Conservatives and the Radicals and
desired him ns a representative man of
the Conservatives to join with you to
make the revolution less bloody. Sus
pecting your design, he sent a man to
meet you in a dark court, where you
would not recognize bim. He was
seized and hurried away. But when the
light shone on him you saw that itwas
you instead of I who had been tricked."
The prisoner trembled, but said noth
ing. "And now. Antoine le Beouf. you who
on the bench not the judicial bench,
the bench of the revolution sent so
many innocent persons to the guillo
tine, what do you think that I, a Judge
regularly appointed by the state, should
do in your case?"
The prisoner bowed his head without
reply, but his daughter in a trembling
voice said. "Yon should be merciful, M.
le Judge."
"No. mademoiselle, not merciful.
Your father does not deserve mercy.
But first 1 should be just It has not
been proved that tbe prisoner commit
ted this murder with which he has
been charged. But this Is not ' my
ruling motive. Gratitude - is today
stronger than justice gratitude to you.
who, when I was confined in the rear
of your father's house while he was
in the front sending men and women
to the guillotine, came and at the risk
of yourself dying to save me opened
my door and conducted me to the
street. It is my duty to instruct the
Jury in this case to bring in a verdict
of not guilty, and it is my pleasure to
give yon your father's life"
When the judge was speaking the
last words an impressive silence reign
ed in the courtroom. Mile, le Beouf
ran to the Judge and. kneeling before
him. seized his band and kissed it.
Raising her. he tnrned to the jury and
gave tbem his formal instructions that
freed the prisoner. Then Le Beouf
tried to thank the judge; but being en
able to speak, be waved his hand to
him and was led away by his daugb-
r.
A part of the throng followed the re
leased prisoner, and a part remained
with the Judge to express their interest
in his conduct and their admiration for
bim. Hp became one of the prominent
men under the directory.
Such was a trial during a period of
law and order. How different from
those trials which svere mere prefaces
to murder.'

not know how to go about it. A lit

MAIN STREET
Oregon City - Oregon
rage City man undertakes to make a
living in general agriculture or any
of its branches Unless he has excep
tional knowledge and staying quali
ties. He needs to be prepared by a
study of conditions in their true light.
It is quite possible, if he is that sort
of person, to accomplish more than
he expects, but there is no need of
any failure or dissappointments when
ordinary prudence is included and
reasonable energy shown.
Farmers already established and
classed as successful can .see from
experiments going on around them,
even in the boys' corn clubs, that
general labors on the soil are less
productive than they might .. be. In
no nation in the world is it as easy
as in the United States to become
the owner of available farming land.
But it takes definite knowledge to
improve the opportunity. Farm dem
onstrators who are multiplying, and
agricultural courses that are Widen
ing out; are a practical recognition
of the need of instruction to those
who can see that farming is the best
vocation if rightly comprehended and
followed up. Crops In this country
per acre might be doubled or trebled.
Workers on the soil could be simi
lary increased if they are wisely guid
ed and master the fundamental prin
ciples of how to make farming pay,
and insure at the same time an en
joyable life. The farm demonstrat
ors are on the right road to modify
an excessive movement of population."
The foregoing editorial in the Morn
ing Enterprise on April 6th is full of
meat, but might have gone a little
farther to keep pace with the times,
and with general progress as we find
The state of Oregon provides for
a fund for the agricultural extension
work, but the County must put up a
like sum for this work. No expendi
ture could be so helpful as money
spent in the fostering of agricultural
development. There are many people
going back to the soil, some with but
meagre knowledge of farming, and
there are farmers' who because of lack
of scientific knowledge are barely
making their farms yield a living.
Through the agricultural extension
work they would receive instructions
in dairying, horticulture, poultry, etc.,
and in bookkeeping.
This expenditure by the County ia
co-operation with the state in spread
ing the gospel of better farming, will
be returned many fold through taxa
tion, for many places where only the
most needed improvements are now
seen and where poor farming is prac
ticed, would become places of beauty,
and of profit to the owners. Let us
have this extension work in this county.
