Man a Land Animal Writing on the movement now taking place all over the country, of a return to the natural occu pation of man, Elbert Hubbard avers that man is a land animal. Mr. Hubbard says: 'The dictum of Henry George that man is a land animal has never been denied, excepting by a man in Matteawan. "Man cannot live long when separated from land. We get our sustenance out of the ground, and we are well and happy only when we are on good terms with Mother Earth. "One-half of our population are farmers. And the farmer is no longer a joke. It is a fine thing to see a farmer crank up his automobile and go to town and collect his rents. "In the West the farmers are the capitalists. And the farm ers have always supplied most of the brain and sinew for the cities. "Land of America, however, has been like the forests. We have had so much of both that we have been wasteful, extrava gant and slipshod. The National Soil Fertility League, made up of strong and earnest men, who are working without any aim for im mediate personal profit, are show ing the world how to double soil production. "Around East Aurora there are men who raise one hundred bushels of potatoes to the acre, i. Then right alongside of these are farmers who raise two hun dred and fifty or three hundred bushels to the acre. The differ ence in yield is not a difference in soil, sunshine and water. It is a difference in the brain of the farmer. 'The cry of 'Back to the land!' is a swelling chorus. I suppose that good roads have a deal to do with this not to mention autos, trolley cars, bicycles, motorcy cles and cheap commutation tickets. "Men are living longer and living better now than ever be fore. The chief reason of this is that we are getting on friend ly terms with Nature. We are a part of nature; in fact we are Nature, and the more we move with Nature, love Nature and understand Nature, the saner, more efficient and the healthier and happier are we. "The great land show, which is to be held at Madison Square Garden, November 3 to 12, is the most important happening that will take place in New York dur ing the year. "Especially important and val uable will be the lesson taught to the school children; and it is good to see that arrangements are being made by the public school teachers so that every school in New York City and im mediate vicinity will go in a body and see the wonderful things that are produced right out of the ground." Hill and Oregon James J. Hill helped make Or egon history the past week when he drove the golden spike mark ing the completion of the Oregon Trunk Railway to Bend. That it will be the final terminus of the line is not expected, but the event was notable because it cel ebrated the coming of a new era in the interior, and the railroad will be the greatest developer the country could have. "Go to work and build up the country, for the cities would starve to death if it were not for the country," said Mr. Hill at the spike driving. "Nations that have neglected the cultiva tion of the soil have faded from; the face of the earth. There is no reason why Central Oregon should not produce enormous wealth. We have a good deal of faith in it. We believe if this soil is properly cared for, if it is properly understood and fair jus tice done to it, it will make a happy home for thousands and millions of people. I wish you all Godspeed and every particle of luck and prosperity that can come to you." Oregon's Possibilities Agricultural possibilities of Or egon are shown by an interesting comparison just made by rresi- dent Howard Elliott of the Northern Pacific Railway, of the area of this state with that of Denmark, Holland, Belgium, Al-sace-Loraine, Luxemburg, Switz erland and the state of Maine, Combined, they have 93,022 square miles, while Oregon has 90,030. On the other hand, the combined population of these countries is 21,594. G89, while Or egon has but 672, 7G5. The con clnsion is that this state has as great agricultural resources as the above group and may very likely equal it in population when its lands are properly tilled. DOMESTIC SCIENCE NEXT ON BOARDS A siTlt'H of leetiirvH that will inter est ladles In bohii to lie jjlven li.v Mr. W. H. Lawrence, under t lie iniHii-'H of St. Mark's Uulld.

THE SECOND GREAT TREAT OF THE SEASON P.efore our next Issue, on the even ing of Monday, October 1(5, the noted poet-humorist. Wallace Ilrnce Ams bary, will give the second number on the lyeeum course billed for this winter. Mr. Ainsbary comes to us with glowing praise from the press every where, for he never fails to rapture his audience by storm, lie It by laugh ter or tears. You cannot afford to miss his per fect Interpretation of the master pieces from r.lley, Kipling, Ople Head and Itulwer Lytton. aside from his own poems, selected from the "Hal lads of Bonrbonnais." A Good Position Can be had by ambll ions young men and ladies In the Held of "wire less" or railway telegraphy. Since the hour law became effective, and since the wireless companies are es tablishing stations throiigl t the country, there Is a great slmitage of telegraphers. Positions pay begin ners from $70 to $'J0 per month, with good chance of advancement. The National Telegraph Institute of Port land, Ore , operates under supervis ion of railroad and wireless ofliiiuls, and places all graduates Into pi ml tlons. It will pay you to write them for full details. To Harness the Deschntes What Is probably one of the largest Hchemes of the kind ever attempted In the west, Is the hartieshlng of the water of the Leschutes liver near its mouth and using the power thus de rived In Irrigating the laud up and down the Columlla. A company having this In view has lieen Incor. porated, with M. A. Moody, of The Lalles, as president, and IToy Purk, formerly connected with the Oregon Trunk road, as treasurer. It Is Maid the capital to develop the proposition will lie furnished by Ca nadians.

EXPERT SAYS USE ROAD DRAG NOW "I'se the road drag now," says Prof. 10. F. Avers, highway construe lion expert of the Oregon Agrlcnl turn I College. "These heavy rains, thoroughly wetting down the roads, have made Ideal conditions for the use of the drag before the heavy win ter weather begins. AH pot-holes, mud-holes and other irrcgularll ies can be levelcj and the surface of the roads lie put nto first cl.us condi tion by using the drag two or three times before the roads get too soft. "The use of the drag, moreover, at this time fur crowning the roads will aid drainage anil keep In good con dition many roads w hich were very poor last year. The expense of using a road drag Is slight and a much wider use of It throughout the state would be very favorable. There Is no better way to keep a dirt road In gooil condition than dragging It frequently." CITY MARSHAL ARRESTS MAN FOR SINGING L. F. 1 1 it it u has the distinction of being the only man In Skamania county ever arrested for singing, says the Skamania Plom-er. He was In dulging in that extravagant luxury the other evening when the city marshal, who happens to be Lou's brother, passed by the saloon and. hearing the racket, arrested him for being drunk and disorderly. Lou has not the voice of a canary bird, exactly, and anybody who has heard hlm sing could not blame the city marshal, for he makes a noise which seems to be across between a gov ernment mule and an Iron foundry. I'.efore a jury in Judge (illlette's court, however, Lou proved that he was sober and was only singing for tli3 benefit of his patrons, and was discharged and told to sing all he pleased. a RIVER POULTRY YARDS J.
