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. Bu
some Idea may ba obtained from the
(latam.nl thai Iha floor were tiled
and Ihe lahlrclothe coat 122 (0 each,
dt.hee, silver and linen f.otlng op to

a newapap.-r raak al IIV a worktable

portionate prices gave the rooms
tr ant displeasing to tb most fas-
lldlooa taste. The calering rxpendl

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

Have vt a no right under the sun?
No rlghta. no credit for sense of our
oa a or of enilghtenment ? No Ingenu
ity, even of skill with a designer's pen
and a pair of shears? 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 men, -en are pleased st
discovering ability !!-. gn and make
tbelr own clothe.. Necessity la the
mother of Invention, and since neces-
!ty haa given the Atsnl. an deeigner
a chance Ihe French should forget the

acd thank fate that Ihe Kaiser 1 not

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

Twaa way bs-k there in tiie fifties
Thst a spirit of unrest
Seised bold of our Eastern tollers.
as we iwaea io wio uwiuc.
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.
We scaled the peak of the Rockies
And forded the wild, rushing
streams.
Till tve cautcht A glimpse of the ver
dure Where the setting sunlight pleama.
Right onward still we Journeyed
- Till Idaho lay behind.
For the dear of State of Oregon
Was the one we had in mind.
i
Nor were we disappointed.
We sturdy sons of toll.
When we pinned our faith to Oregon
And began to turn her soil.
We had dreamed of wood and meadow.
Of flelcfa of waving grain.
But the half was never dreamed of
In tbis land of sun and rain.
Twss here we found a climate
That's perfect In every way
Mild and warm In Winter,
But cool en a Summer's day.
We bask In the balmy breeze
From Pacific's placid breast
Or bresthe the pure, sweet current
Of the lofty mountain crest.
Ju.t east of the Cascade summits
L4e stretched the snow-claid plains.
Drinking the moisture of Winter
For Summer's golden grains.

Dm, rrri hi- eed and erreen.
And tha aa) Vuletide Is fragrant
With the acent oi tne --ummer
Queen.
We boast of our broad praxlng pas

One thousands of cattle and sheep.
That cover our mountains like dew-
drops
As they lsy them down to sleep.
W bosst of a soli that Is fertile.
For failure never Is known
In Ihls land of health and beauty.
Where a blirxard never nas oiown.
There's millions bf feet of timber.
Magnificent, tall and straign.
That wood the hills and valley
la our sun-kissed laurel state.
Oir rivers are teeming with salmon.
The world-famed "royal cninoox.
And fish la foound In abundance
In lake, river and brook.
TA" feast on our vegetable products.
That grow so luxuriantly here.
For we have them fresh from our gar
dens Abundantly, all through the year.
We raise the wheat of '.he northlands.
The corn of tbe Mlddlo West.
Ana sll the fruits of Canaan grow
In thi land so trebly blest.
Our state Is bountifully watered
Hy rivers that never run lry.
And over their broad, peaceful bosoms
Rsrges and. ocean ships ply.
They bear far abroad to the nations
Our wheat and lumber and wool,
Anl the markets of Eastern cities
With fruits from our valleys are full.
The tourist always finds pleasure
In our picturesque valleys and hills.
Our torrents tliaA tumble through
mountains.
Our scenic rivers and rltls.
We pride In tbe Falls of Multnomah,
Castle Rock that captures tho eye.
The deee'p-cut. wild, beyinff canyons.
With their Jagged sides piercing the

Crater Lake In the Ice-hand of Winter,
Decked with her circlets of gold.
Reflecting a myriad of rainbows.
Inspiring awe to behold.
Sitting like glittering diamonds
Bathed In old 6ol's lingering- light.
Baffles the pen for description
And tbe poet's eloquent flight.
The beauty and awe of the Cascades.
Columbia's most scenic stream.
The rushing; Deschutes in her wlld-
ness
Have never been fancied In dream.
Mount Hood as he plays in the sunlight
And throws back the bright tints oi

Or penned In poetical lays.
Tbe exriausiless resource of our moun

Our beautiful, far-stretching plains.
Our deep-soiled, fir-covered valleys.
So abundantly watered witn rains.
Ara a standing challenge for workmen
To roll up their sleeve for the toil.
And delve deep for the treasures
That are hidden in Oregon soil.
Then come and help us develop
This land by nature so niest;
Come out from your Eastern cities
And find a home In the west.
There's thousands olgacres yet waiting
The farmer s axe ana nis piow.
And thousands of doors are open
To the man who wills and Knows

REFnnT CLOSSKS OVER CODITIOT
Dawbt Kxpreeaed That Vice Re part
Telia Whole Trath aa ta Babes.
PORTLAND. Dec Jl. (To the Edi
tor.) 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.

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.

New Series of
Alaskan Articles
In The Sunday Oregonian
THE NEW WORLD OF ALASKA Alaska as it is today with its
teeming: mining camps, beetling mountains, massive glaciers, and
over all the mystery and charm of the frozen Northland, is to be
depicted in a series of articles, the first of which will appear in The
Oregonian tomorrow. But it is also an Alaska of agricultural pos
sibilities and with resources such as should make it a great indus
trial country. The articles are written by Frank G. Carpenter,
world-wide traveler and -well-known writer.
BIRSKY AND ZAPP AGAIN Of all the writers of humor there are
few who can keep pace with Montague Glass. His Christmas story,
which appears in The Oregonian Sunday, is fully up to the standard
of his preceding work. What Baraett Zapp and Louis Birsky say
about Christmas over a table in Wasserbauer's restaurant makes
jolly reading for a January day.
MRS. WILSON'S ANCESTRAL HOME Of all the women in' the
United States, Mrs. Wilson, new wife of the President, is now in
the limelight. The ancestral home of Mrs. Wilson, in Bedford.
England, is told of in The Sunday Oregonian in an article by Hayden
Church. Boiling Hall has the charm of the historical old English
manor-houses and a typical English setting. Pictures of the hall
accompany the article. -
J. RUFUS WALLINGFORD Those who have been following with in
terest the new Wallingford stories in The Oregonian will read with
pleasure the next of the series, appearing Sunday. The story has
the exciting plot and breezy style which is characteristic of George
Randolph Chester.
WOMAN GOLF INSTRUCTOR The athletic girl will read with in
terest and profit the article on golf written by Mrs. Gourlay Dunn
Webb for The Sunday Oregonian. Little tricks of the game and
particularly methods of gripping the club will be told of and il
lustrated with photographs.
RIGHT OFF THE REEL Some live humor and good up-to-the-minute
movie gossip will feature this regular page of The Oregonian -Sunday.
An especial feature will be an article in humorous vein
on "How to Grow the Common, or Garden, Variety of Scenario."
Other pages will be devoted to news of the Portland motion-picture
theaters.
FOR THE YOUNG PEOPLE The Sunday Oregonian is not alone for
the old folks, but appeals to the young people as well. Special
stories and pictures are contained in each issue especially for the
young people. Puzzles and Arabian Nights' stories, illustrated in
colors, form an attractive feature, and the popular comics are the
most amusing published!
COVER DESIGN A beautiful view of Hamilton Mountain, on the
north bank of the Columbia River, forms the cover design of The
Oregonian for Sunday.
VALUABLE OREGON RELICS Many Portland people have never
visited the rooms of the Oregon Historical Society. There are to be
found there relics of greatest interest, because of their association
with early day events in Oregon. An illustrated article on this sub
ject will appear tomorrow.
OTHER FEATURES All the usual departments will be included in
the big Sunday paper in addition to the news survey of the world.
