to mean. In the bay of Naples there
is an island called Morreai, which in
Italian means something connected
with death. The original saying was.
" "See Naples and Morreai." but in a
spirit of levity the English translated
the saying, "See Naples and die." Ed

conclusions with the Canby high
school players, to settle a dispute that
begun in a 6 to 6 tied ten-inning game
in the spring. Canby won the game
at the fair grounds by the overwhelm
ing score of 11 to 3. Wild playing and
a lack of control on the part of Ore
gon City's pitcher, coupled with heavy
batting and gocd team work on the
part of the Canby boys, was responsi
ble for the score.
The beautiful silver and gold loving
cup, offered by the Northern Pacific
raildoad as a trophy for the best gen
eral display of farm produce grown by
any one man, was captured by E. E.
Kellogg, of Mount Pleasant, who had
a magnificent showing of grains,
grasses and vegetables. The tropliy
will be held by Mr. Kellogg until next
year, when it will be placed in compe
tition again. It must be won three
times to become the property of the
holder.
Mount Pleasant showed up extra
ordinarily well at the fair, the Mount
Pleasant Civic Improvement associa
tion capturing eight first prizes and
two seconds tor i:s display of grains,
fruits and .other farm produce. The
booth of the association also won one
of the big prizes for mass show ina,
and Saturday was decorated with the
Northern Pacific trophy, which added
much to the beauty of the display.
Another exhibit that has attracted
great attention hroughout the fair was
that of C. T .Howard's mill, at Mu
lino. This enterprise, which "is Tun
ning all the time," as Mr. Howard
says, turns out probably the only flour
milled in the county. The mill is lo
cated on the line of the Clackamas
Southern railroad, and on the comple
tion of that line will ship its entire
output over the Oregon City line."
The big feature of Saturday morning
was the eugenics exhibit, at which
over a hundred Clackamas county
babies, as well as some from Marion
End Mlultnomah counties, competed
for awards. For the purposes of judg
ing the youngsters were divided into-l
several classes, and after careful ex
amination by physicians and others
skilled in the lore of infants, prizes
were announced as follows:

PICKING OUT YOUR FARM.
Seme one has said that the normal
man at 40 has a longing to return to
the soil, and perhaps there never has
been a time when the truth, of this
has been demonstrated, as in the past
few years. -
The earth hunger is felt by alltnen.
The rich man's hobby is a stock farm
or a ranch of some sort, and few there
are who haven't some country place.
The man of small means too, hears
the call of nature, and there is- no
time like the present season that the
would-be purchaser can know what the
soil wirf5 produce. He may have fir3t
hand evidence, which will protect him
from over anxious and interested set
tlers, for fruits and vegetables will
speak for themselves.
Location is a matter of choice,
Clackamas County offers 'to the home
seeker a diversity of soils, and oppor
tunities which we consider a little
better than other sections. We will
not claim for the land that it is so
much better than others nor that it
will produce more than other districts
in the yalley, for all the soil of the
Willamette Valley will produce what
is sown, and it will grow to maturity
without irrigation.
No, the influence of Portland as a
market center is one of the greatest
assets of Clackamas" County, through
her close proximity to this, one of the
great markets of the world.
The Counties of Clackamas, Wash
ington, Yamhill, Benton, Lane and
Linn comprise the Willamette Valley,
and all are rich in farming. General
farming is extensively practiced, and
these Counties all produce every va
riety of fruit such as apples, pears,
plums, ' prunes, cherries, peaches,
grapes and all kinds of nuts, besides
the various varieties of berries. Clack
amas County is very rolling, and in
many places is free from spring frosts,
which permits of early planting and
early harvesting, which gives the
farmer a chance for a few weeks out
ing after his crops are gathered.
It is a delight to make a tour of
the County to see the fat cattle, well
kept, dairy cows, hogs which are be
ing gotten ready for a market, which
stands at about 12c per pound dressed,
flocks of poultry awaiting the Thanks
giving call, and to see the golden
grain, and the heavily laden fruit
trees, especially well laden where the
orchards have been well cared for.
Gardens vegetables and many other
products which do exceedingly well
here make a sight worth seeing.
It pays to liv3 in Oregon where
Nature is so prodigal with man if he

HEAVY EXPENSE
Farmers and Merchants Are
Equally the Losers.
RESULT OF INVESTIGATION.
Figures Obtained by Minneapolis Com
mission Show How Thousands of
Dollars Could Be Saved Annually by
Improving the Highways of a State.
Farmer Loses $170 For Each Acre.
The farmer and the business man as
well has at last come to realize the loss
he suffers from bad roads,, and the
magnitude of the movement for better
conditions is little appreciated by those
whose interests have not brought them
in contact with it. The cost of bad
roads has long been known in a vague
way, but recent scientific investiga
tions have brought the matter home in
tangible form to those who suffer from
them, says the Review of Reviews.
One of the most thorough investiga
tions of the subject ever conducted,
the results of which are used as a text
wherever the doctrine of good roads is
preached, was made by the Minneapo
lis Civic and Commerce association.
While the conditions investigated were
those of territory tributary to .Minne
apolis, they are undoubtedly typical
to a greater or less degree of those ex
isting elsewhere. .- -
A committee of the. association se
lected for investigation the farming
district, 750 square miles in area, the
trade of which is tributary to Minne
apolis From a thorough canvass of
the conditions existing there it was
found that the 4,069 farmers in the dis
trict hauled 560,000 tons of farm prod
uce to market in 1911 and sold it for
$6,665,680. To do this they had to
make 305,000 trips, the time spent in
hauling equaling 800 years of eight
hour days and the distance covered
eighty-eight times the circumference
of the world. -
Bad road conditions caused losses in
time, partly due to slow progress, part
ly to the necessity of taking less direct
routes and partly because smaller
loads had to be carried. Detailed in
vestigations showed that the losses in
time were as follows: Due to not tak
ing the shortest route, $62,000; due to
slower progress, $75,000; due to extra
trips necessary by smaller loads, $159,
000, a total loss of $296,000. Losses
from inability to reach the best mar
ket, from the spoiling of produce and
from injury to horses and wagons
were found to aggregate $221,000; from
restricted ability to haul manure, $91,
000. The total loss caused by bad
roads was placed at $608,728.
The committee made the following
deductions: On account of bad roads
each farmer lost for the year $1.70 for
every acre that he farmed; 13 cents
every time he carried a ton of farm
produce over one mile of bad road; 9
per cent of his total crop. He paid as
much for bad roads as for labor, more
than for feed for his stock, twenty
five times as much as for fertilizer.
The total loss to the farmers In this
district for the year from this cause
would have bought all the corn, pro
duced in it, or all the wheat, or the oat
crop twice over, or all but 10 per cent
of the potatoes, or all the barley, rye,
flaxseed, timothy seed, hay and forage
combined. The losses would replace
the farm implements or the cattle ev
ery three years, the horses every four
years, andwould pay off all the mort
gages in the district in three years,
with $100,000 to spare.
The farmery, moreover, were not the
only losers from bad roads. The com
mittee found that the worst sections
of the roads they had to travel be
tween their farms nd market were
within the city limits; that there were
approximately 3,G00 business houses
in Minneapolis, employing 5,000 wag
ons, whose loss, from bad roads was
$910,000 for the year.
The combined loss of the farmers,
merchants and manufacturers for one
year was $1,518,000. As there are'
about 3,000 miles of roads in the dis
trict, which would have been kept in
good condition for $3,000 a year, if
properly constructed, in order to ascer
tain what amount could profitably be
invested in good roads, the committee
deducted this amount from the total
loss. leaving $1.200,000. . Capitalized at
4 per cent, or 5 per cent, which is
more than bonds would cost, the prin
cipal is $22,000,000. ' If this amount
were Invested in good highways at $7,
000 a mile the district would still break
even on the investment, ..

ALL SEEMS
Employees of Great Canal Have No Fear of Rent Day or
of the Dreaded High Cost of Living
By Willis J. Abbot, Author of "Panama
Our Uncle Sam owns and manages
a line of steamships plying between
New York and Panama, carrying both
passengers and freight and competing
successfully with several lines of foreign-built
ships. The large vessels
are of ten thousand tons and would
rank well with the lesser transatlan
tic liners. On them congressmen and
Panama zone officials are carried free
while employees of the Isthmian canal
commission get an exceedingly low J
rate tor themselves and . their fam
ilies. The government also owns ana
conducts the Panama railroad, whicn
crosses in less than three hours from
the Atlantic to the Pacific. This
sounds like a mighty good argument
for government ownership and it is
others drawn from Isthmian condi
tions. The president of the Panama'
Railroad is Colonel George W. Goe-tha'-s.
The government caught him
young, educated him at its excellent
West Point school, paying him a sal
ary wrhile he, was learning to be use
ful, and has been employing and pay
ing him. ever since. Like a citizen of
the ideal co-operative commonwealth,
he has never had to worry about a
job. The state has always employed
him and paid him. While he has done
his work better than others of equal
rank he has only recently begun to
draw any more pay than other colo
nels. Sounds very socialistic, doesn't
it? And he seems to make a very
good railroad -president, too, though
the shuffing of shares in Wall street
had nothing to do with his appoint
ment, and he hasn't got a director on
his board interlocked with J. P. Mor
gan & Co. or the City National bank.
The government which runs this
railroad and steamship line doesn't
confine its activity to big things. It
will wash a shirt for one of its canal
employees at about half the price that
John Chinaman doing business nearby
would charge, press his clothing, or
it. will send a man into your home ir
you live in the zone to chloroform
any stray mosquitoes lurking there
and convey them away in. a bottle. V:
will house in an electric-lighted, wire
screened tenement a Jamacian negro
who at home lived in a basket-work
shack, plastered with mud and thatch
ed with palmetto leaves. It is very
democratic too, this government, for
it won't issue to Mr. Highflyer mor
than three wicker arm-chairs even if
she does entertain every .day, while
her neighbor, Mrs. Domus, who gets
just exactly as many, never entertains
at all.
We find a great central authority,
buying everything imaginable in . all
the markets of the world, at the mom
ent when prices are lowest an auth
ority big enough- to snap its fingers
at any trust and selling again, with
out profit, to the ultimate consumers.
There are not trust profits, no middle
man's profits Included in prices or
things bought at the commissary
stores. There are eighteen such
stores in the zone. "The total busi
ness of the commissary store amounts
to about six million dollars annually.
Everything is sold at prices materially
less than it can be bought for in the
United States, yet the department
shows an actual profit, which is at
once put back into the business. A
zone housewife told me that a steak,
for her family that would cost at least
ninety cents in her home at Brooklyn
cost her forty here- Shoddy, or mere
ly "cheap" goods are not carried, and
the United States pure food law is
strictly observed. That terrible prob
lem of the "higher cost of living" hard
ly presents itself to zone dwellers ex
cept purchasers of purely native prodV
ucts; those, thanks to the tourists,
have doubled several times in the last
five years. But articles purveyed by
Uncle Sam are furnished to his neph
ews and nieces -here for about onet
third less than the luckless ones must
pay who are sticking to the old home
stead instead of faring forth to the
tropics.
But more. The canal employee does
not know what it is to fear rent day.
If married he is supplied with quar
ters, all furnished, ranging from a
four-room flat to a 16-room house, ac
cording to his importance in the canal
organization. For him neither the
coal baron nor the ice trust has any
terrors, for the little coal he needs is
furnished free by the commissary, and
ice is supplied at a price to put the
trust out .of business.
This is a benevolent despotism, the
sort of government that philosophers
agree would be ideal if the benevo
lence of the despot could only be as
sured invariably end eternally. The

A NEW. USE FOR SURPLUS POTA
TOES.
Last year's exceptionally large po
tato crop lias set our wise acres
thinking, and C. C, Moore assistant
chemist . in the United States Bureau
of Chemistry who has been spending
some time investigating the potato
situation in Oregon, thinks he has
found an outlet for the surplus pota
toes.
By manufacturing alcohol, starch,
glucose and desiccated potato from
the potato the bumper crops may be
turned into profit to the raiser, who
so far has found that exceptionally
large crops do not mean proportionate
ly large returns. .
The consumption of starch and glu
cose in the United States is approx
imately 600,000 tons a year, the Pa
cific coast's proportion of this being
abgut 10,000 tons, all of which is man
ufactured out of corn in the corn belt.
The coast could with a manufactury
for this purpose, produce its own glu
cose from home raised potatoes.
The price of glucose ranges from
$50.00 to $75.00 per ton, and between
$500,000 and $750,000 is yearly ex
pended by the Pacific Coast for glu
cose, sending this amount of money
to the corn belt, which might be Spent
here at home. " -
Germany manufactures a stock food
of potatoes, 20,000,000 bushels yearly
being made into desiccated potatoes
for this purpose.
It is said that several Portland bus
iness men are interested in a manu
facturing industry which will take
care of the surplus tubers. Oregon

COMPETITION AN EVIL.
Competition at one time may1
have been the lilVof trade, but
it certainly 'was the death of
manhood. It may have been-the
life of trade w hen labor was a
slave: it may have been the life
of trade' looking at trade from
the standpoint of advantage and
profit to capital, but competition
never was the life of trade look
ing at it from a standpoint of .
the worker's fair' share.... Who
ever heard of two men or two
firms engaged in comiietition for
the purpose of steadying the
.conditions under which their, la
bor was employed or of reduc
ing the cost to the consumer?
They engage in their deadly com
mercial conflict for the sole pur-"
pose of crushing each other, that
the survivor might absorb what
ever was left after the ruin of
his competitor, to the pecuniary
advantage and prestige of a sur
viving belligerent, and when the
deadly struggle Was on down
went wages, down went the qual
ity of output, down went every
thing, and when the struggle
was over up went the cost to the
consumer, but the restoration of
wages was a slow process. Com
petition has always enriched the
strong and Impoverished the
weak. George W. Perkins. '

ance on the scene' cf the state official,

PESSIMISTS GLOAT
OVER CATTLE PRICES
Receipts for the week at Portland
stock, yards have been: Cattle 1392,
calves 19, hogs 1983, sheep 9965,
horses 26.
Sentiment in the cattle market has
not been such as to warrant optimism
recently. . While receipts have not
totaled so much as a week ag6, there
has been more than enough beef to
supply trade needs. The : $8.00 steer
lias been displaced at least temporar
ily, and extreme top quotation is $7.50
to $7.75. Butcher quality failed to at
tain the high standard of sis days ago
and prices on cows were generally
lower. Prime heifers at $7.00, cows
$6.75, bulls at $5.50 and calves at $9-00
are nuerai price tops. Damand for
any but choice finished cattle i3 slow
and outlat very unsatisfactory.
Bumping the hog market is not
proving as easy a task as buyers an
ticipated. No other., explanation is
needed than supply' paucity. Statisti
cally the market is 10 to 15 cents high
er than it was a week since and prime
light swine are resting around $8.75.
Some fairly good lots tjrough $8.50 to
$8.60 and $8.75, too, and smooth
weighty stuff moved readily $7.50 to
$7.75. If receipts for the week had
been larger, perhaps a more active
market would have ieli forth, but
growers are not rushing to market as
yet and liquidation is spasmodic. Of
course, hogs are beginning to carry
more weight, as winter approaches
and quality will be a batter packing
proposition eventually. Until receipts
become steady enough to deluge the
trade, swine prices have a good
chance to range between $8.00 and
?8.50.
iwuiion ana iamo nquiaanon contin
ue;! liberal last week an dthere was
so much real fat killing stuff in the
run, buyers did not have the nerve to
shade bids. Choice mountain wethers
sold $4.00 to $4.25 and ewes at $4.00.
Packers took to the lamb offerings in
great style, bidding $5.25 for all tho
best ones. Pessimists said the mar
ket would quickly subside to $5.00 if
too many lamb were liquidated this
week, but they were disappointed.
However, the trade is not so short
handed on lambs and mutton as it
was ten days ago and buyers may not
manifest so much interest during the
remainder of September if liquidation
is abnormally large. ;
