A tOJIT.iT. lreon'a repreaer.tatlon at Ihe r?a Franrlaco Fair was obtained at tb comparatively rnodeet expenditure of I17S.00. Perhaps th commlaatoner In chars ran are where mora good for th state could have been accora pllahed with more money, but It was not apparent to tha Oregon Tlaltor. It la somewhat unuaual for a staf to be represented at such an event I a manner which draa-s no crttlctsin whatever from Iha persona who con tribute to It cost. Tet that I what th Orcgoa commlMl'm accomplished. Th bulldinc and eihlhtLa were Indlcativ of what Oregon a- toally la and there was an aJeouat amount of dignified yet hoarltahte entertainment. Th Orecon boilJln was one of Ihe mal attraction and waa ore of th few atrurture considered worthy of pres ervation. The circumstance ar brought 10 mind upon perusal of the sarcaatlc comment by the New York World upon New York , representation, at an Kraprlaco. The atala and city ex pended 1700.00. The eetior of th bull lins- erected br the stala was pleasing to the ee but tho ordinary Individual learned nothing; of It In terior. Admission was by card.

The calering rxpendl lure al Iha opening of the building waa l:01: tha buiMIng stta was dedl. rata l at a coat of 110 000; for New Tork day Ihe ;overnors party was sent out from th Kt at an expense of IJI.00. -Indeed." s the World, lhl saams to have bean ona of those rare occasion when pleaaant time aa had by one and all except th taxpayer." W era not en sure that mere ex penditura ef money alwava produce genuine entertainment. There waa ope notable evening, we are told, when brilliant party at tna New Tork building broke upe In the middle to eelt tha unassuming but wholehearted horpltallty of th Oregon building ac-oe the way.

Audacious French tailor are np In arm. They have issued an Indignant protest. No doubt Ihey would be pleased tn make of the Incident an International rrtsi. lor w have been rutting our own trousers, designing our own nani. Not only that, but w hava been do ing ihos thing with some degree or sallafactlon with th completed Job. and hence tha whole syndicate .t French tailor Is up In arm claiming that our New York fashion dictator ara stealing their thunder. What If w are? t-o they claim a monopoly on alt human progreee In the science of covering the bodv? If American designers loan upon Frencn customs, la there any greater wrong done lhn when French painter lean upon the Venetian or French sculp tor lean heavily upon ancient Greece? Why not accuse Joffr of borrowing something from Hannibal or Alexan der? Th French have gotten them selves mixed up In a great fracas and must pay tha penalties. Ona of the penaltlea la that Americana are learn ing that they can make their own clothe. Tha discovery Is both pleas ant tr.4 profitable. Furthermore. Now Tork designer and tailor are working revert I me Irving to cinch Ihelr now aaeal while Ihe French faanlon center are under full quarantine. In days gone by fashion were fixed br court circle. Let Iha wife of the King appear lo some new creation and th style waa set. Witness the case of old King Charles' wife appearing In th headgear of th double horn. an outlandlah affair, ftut all the fash lonabl women of France promptly set about upp!lng themselves with horns. Ther w a rerltable contest lo . who could get tha longest born a. Then the case of l performers, back in th middle of the sixteenth cen tury, who sprinkled flour lu their hair. It struck Ihe fancy of some notable and th powdered wig wit the result. These da we have no recognized so cial sou whose lead w are willing to foltow. Cettirg the fashion 1 a matter of habit, and during our growing day w ar-qulred th one of buying fash ionable dr!ne and clothee from the Ing.nlo'ia lsrtslan No doubt Iha habit woull have continued Indefi nitely had not some upheaval Inter vened. Rut It ta just such upheaval Ihst dsmoltah all customs In time In addition to sMttlng ths boundary lines of empires. So the French tailoring syndicate may storm In vain. They might as well lake their grlevanre up with Ihe Ford peace prty so f.r s gairtrg an Intelligent hearing Is concerned.

A SUCH I IH..VHV, W ILL Ultt In, th Taklma tally Republle of December JI an article Is published ahowtr.g what mar be termed the In come of the Taklma country for the year 1I4 It Is a very encouraging report. It shows thai Ihe Yakimir Valley I making great stride toward agricultural anj livestock supremacy and that th dairy Interests are rap idly gaining In Importance. Indeed, the report I net encouraging to every person who ha been wont to proclaim the Yakima country as ore hslng great natural advantages. It Is pot a great, many years slr.ee th Yakima people In a great measure forsook the raising of sheep and the groatrg of hops and wheal. and embarked generally In the grow ing of frulta. partieul.irlv apples. It uU4 be raiser a ti-Uuuil miller to- tate Just how many acre were set lo fruit in the entire Yakima Valley, extending from the point where the Yakima River deboucbea from the mountains wrest of Cle Elum to the place where It flow Into the Colum bla north of Kenneaick. . It has been estimated by the Northern .Pacific Railway Company at 17.000 acre, but on looking over the orchard that esti mate seems to be under the actual total. Whatever the fruit area Is. It ha remained practically tallonary for several years. Now there are prac tically no very young orchards'. The great number of nuraerlee that aprang ud a few year ago have nearly all disappeared. Tet In no portion of the United State la better fruit, especially apple and pears, produced on a large scale than In the Yakima country. But the land owner are learning that les son that haa to be learned before any section can become prosperou from the product ef the land, namely, you cannot keep taking from the land and return nothing and long prosper. They hava also taken Into account that old and tried axiom. "It la unwise to place all of your eggs In one bas ket." Eventually the apple business will be a great factor In promoting pros perity in that section, as well aa In other section of th Northwest, but not until the home market gains greater .Importance than It has at present. We must remember that the New York apple grower can sell his apples at SO centa a bushel and make a large profit; it costs us thut much to lav down a bushel of apple in New Tork. W must also remember that the New York and Michigan and the Virginia and Penxurvnta grow er a welt, can re.ich 10,000.000 peo ple al less than half .what it coats us to reach 1.000.000. . These word are not aaid lo prove that we are not lo be la the world's market all Ihe time with our apples: they are not given lo discourage the apple-grower, for with our better packing lem and our At product ao are bound eventually to become a most Important factor In Ihe apple Industry of Ihe world. The Taklma land owner have dis covered that, while playing this wait ing game, fortune awaits them by pro ducing livestock and the grain and grasses upon which to feed and fatten such stock. So we see by the report mentioned that, while the apple crop of tho valley, or rather the fruit crop. amounted Inst year to tl.H8.S00. live stock and livestock product amounted to 11.30.100. Of this the single Item of butter netted llOi.OOO. and cream tll7.00. Fheep brought In the great est sum of any one Item except ap ples, th value of the former being ll.7S.S00. and of apples tI.S90.000. However, the wool sold amounted to t liS. 000. which should be added the sheep value. It Is practically safe lo say that In no section of the North. a eat have greater stride been made, agriculturally speaking, than In th Yakima Valley during the last four year. No section of the Northwest Is more prosperous, no section ha brighter outlook for the years to come. Above all. no people in the entire country are more lo be commended for their tabors thsn the land own ers of Ihst wonderful section. Near Tork grand Juries begin to place a value on factory girls lives. lancra and lessees of a burned build ing have been Indicted, but we must not Jump tn Ihe conclusion that any- body will be punished until they hav been tried, had a new trial, appealed, been denied a third trial, appealed Ihe Federal Court, been turned down, appealed lo the Supreme Court of the United States', been turned down again, applied for a pardon and been denied It. It' a long way from aa Indictment to Ping- Ping. Testimony in the New Haven Rail road rase being completed, another ear, may see a decision, j et another ear in appeal and two or three more ears a decision on the appeal. Scv eral of the defendant are old and feeble, hence It la problematical whether all will live to see the finish. We can do without British dy woods, having; abundant supplies in Central and South America. If the belligerent continue the war much onger. we may learn to do without them entirely and let them fight to the end of Ihe chapter. 1 Why should a woman ao dread us- piclon that she was the one who pro posed as to shun marriage In leap- esr?

We saw that beyond the regions Of the Rockies' arid plain Lay a vast Held undeveloped. Blest with abundance of rain. So braving; the storms of the moun tains And the desert's burning sand. We struck the trail out westward. In quest of this promised land. We were not of the type who falter Nor turn from the task begun; We had set our stakes for a home stead In th land of the setting- sun.

One statement In that terrible report of the Maryland vice commission deserves a note of comment In 'addi tion to the sensible words already ut tered by The Oregonlan. I refer to the statement made In the report that more than 5000 babies were ouriea in a pioi of ground 66 feet square, and that the desth of most of the infants wss iot due to neglect, but to separation from the mother. This 'explanation, in my opinion. lacks sincerity. Mere separation from the mother 1 not by any means neces sarily fatal to an Infant. It all de pends upon the sort of bands tnst tne helpless wayfarer happens to Ian into. If the nursa or attendant Is trained and has Intelligence and a natural in terest In children, and the mean are provided in the Institution to care lor he babies, the desth rate ought to oe very low. In fact. It is no exaggera- lon lo say thst with the progress made In Infant study a great many babies would actually be better off if they were taken from Ignorant and Incompe tent or indifferent mothers and turned over to a corps of properly trained and conscientious expert nurses especially itted for that sort of work. ilsny Infants would not even miss he mother's milk, so great has been ne scientific progress made in arti ficial feeding, and there have been in- tsnces where the death rate among artificially fed children where It has been done properly) was actually low. r than among breaet-f-d infant, prov- ng that the amount of Intelligent care brought to bear In looking after new born babes Is the greatest single fac tor to Insure their robust health and normal rate of growth. So I am auspicious thst the whole truth haa not been told about that high Infant mortality In Baltimore institu- lons. Reparation from the mother lone does not account for It. Crimi- l negligence by those In charge ume nearer to a real explanation. . (AIlSoJ X, AL iL , WHAT OF NORTH THIRD STREETf Writer W.naere If Its Iatereat Will Wane After Jaaaary 1. PORTLAND. Dec Jl. (To the Edi tor.) One of the streets which will be most affected by the prohibition law a-hich goes into effect the first of the year will be North Third street. This street, which leads from the business center to the Steel bridge. Is one of the main arteries of the city and is very interesting to the one who likes to study human nature. In the vicinity of Burnside street and from thence eastward one notices that there are many saloons and con cert halls and to agreeably surprised to find few, if any. drunken men. In front of the largest of these saloons the Salvation Army, American volun teers and other religious organizations hold service's in the evenings, and are always sure of a large and apprecia tive audience. This is a very busy street from early in the morning, when the laborer has tens to his work, until midnight, when the lights in arches of "The Great White -Way" grow dim. Here one comes in contact with people from perhaps- every nation on the earth and hears many foreign languages spoken. Here, also, we fiad many men who are down and out and who find cheap lodgings in the vicinity. This is the -street of the small stores, second-hand stores and pawnshops prevailing. Some of the former seem to specialize in shoes and one can buy a presentable pair for a small sum In the second-hand clothing stores, one occasionally sees such a sign ss this displayed: "3 a suit. Will that suit you T' Just where the street makes Its bend a little candy man is stationed, dressed in an immaculate white gown. He is quite a little man and is often seen slipping. a piece of candy into a little urchin's hand. Since the war began his "London mints" have been discreetly changed to a neutral name. Not far from Burnside is a Greek bootblack stand which, for Its size, dis played more American flags on flag day than any business house in the city. As we'approach the bridge we find that many of the shopkeepers are Chinese and we see many little Chinese children playing about the street and who look strangely out of place m the American dresses which they usually wear. The Chinese father is a very fond parent and often takes his walk with the youngest In his arms. At the corner of Glisan is the Scad- ding House, a shabby-looking building which has been fitted up for a working-man's home. Here he,can obtain a room and board for a very modest sum and enjoy the privilege of the free reading room. Nor must the fire station at the ap proach of the bridge be overlooked. The fire laddies have the finest lawn in the city. Indeed, one would" need a microscope to find a weed on the premises. Will the glory of Third street pass with the passing of the saloon? We believe not. Already some of the sa loons are preparing to open as restau rants, where light refreshments can be served, and amusement halls, and we trust will continue to attract In a more legitimate way.
