PORTLAND BUSINESS MEN VISIT TILLAMOOK Govornmont to Interest Children In Forrostry Country Llfo Move ment Growing Portland, Ore. May 21. Port land's business men have been clasping hands with Tillamook County communities this week. Excursions to other parts of the state are teaching Portland's people that Oregon is a great state and that Portland, after all, is only a small part of it. A better understanding of the needs of the country comes to the city people after every such excursion. Children are to be interested in forest protection. Forestry officials of the Government have taken steps to secure the assist ance of boys and girls of the state in helping to protect forests from fire. The import ance of the' trees to the people of the state and how to safe guard his great resource is taught in an attractive story to be issued and distributed throughout the schools. What is declared to be the most valuable tract of farm land in the state, and probably in the whole country, lies near Beaverton, in Washington County. This fifteen acre farm is beaver-dam land and has grown onions, valued at $9,000 year, for forty years. The tract has produced a total of approximately $260,000. Onions yield 400 sacks per acre on this land and its richness seems inex haustible. It can show a similar record. McMinnville will hold a big horse show Saturday, May 25, demonstrating to the remainder of the state the excellent breed of horses raised in Yamhill Coun ty. Many breeders expect to ex hibit stock. The Country Life movement throughout the state is making good. The idea is growing and it is expected to interest 75,000 children in the work. C. H. Lane, representing the Depart ment of Agriculture, has been in the state during the past week giving practical talks on the sub ject. It looks like the plan to make Oregon soil produce every thing needed to feed the people will succeed. SCHOOL ATHLETES TO HAVE TRACK MEET Forty-One Hlflh Schools Repre sented In Big Corvallls Competition Oregon Agricutural College, Corvallis, Ore., May 21. Teams of two to six young athletes are entered from 41 different high schools for the inter-scholastic track meet at the Oregon Agri cultural College this week and the college students are doing everything in their power to give them a royal good time as well a3 the best athletic competition of their lives. Representatives are entered for fourteen events,, including the 100, 220, 440, 880, mile and relay races, the high and broad jump, pole vault, shot put, discus and hammer throwing, 120 and 220 yard hurdles. The silver cup offered by Pres. Kerr was won last year by 'Washington High, Portland, and as it must be won three 'consecutive years to give permanent possession, Washing ton will be on hand to defend the title again. The Orange O Club, composed of the monogram men of the college, have arrange ments in hand and will conduct a tour through the buildings and laboratories and have planned a dance in the gymnasium as a wind-up".

From time to time fresh Illustrations ore afforded as to the ancients Inge nuity, with special rcferenco to what nro termed tho "lost arts." Recently it 1ms been shown that th old Peruvians must have understood the laws of atmospheric pressure In order to construct the curious Jars and vases they left. One of these pieces of pottery was ornamented with tho fig ures of two monkeys, and when water was poured into or out of the vessel sounds like the screeching of monkeya wcro heard. Another similar vessel has tho llguro of a bird that uttero appropriate notes; another was orna mented with n cat that mewed an another with snakes that hissed. An ingenious water Jar bore the form of an aged woman on whoso checks tears were seen to trickle, whllo sobs were heard when water was poured from tho Jar. Xcw York Tribune. Famous Venetian Palace.

Shearing Sheep In Syria. The manner of shearing sheep In Syria and all Asiatic Turkey does not differ materially from the ancient methods of the people as applied to practically every other vocation. While tho sheep Industry Is one of the oldest in tho country, having existed for cen turies In the same pastures where the ancestors of the present herders also tended Hocks, there ih.es not appear to have been any Improvement In the manner of shearing or breeding the sheep. Shearing Is still accomplished In tho crudest way, the workers al ways leaving a considerable amount of wool on the animal, while the lleece removed is cut most unevenly. The shearers frequently cut great holes In tho skins of the sheep, wjilch by tho use of modern shearing machines could aslly be avoided. Writsr's Cramp. Those who have to do a great deal of writing are liable to get an attuck of writer's cramp. Tho Urst Indica tion of writer's crump Is a feeling of tiredness In tho hand and arm. Then words are formed very slowly, and sud denly tho pen will lly upward or out ward. This Is due to a sudden spasm of the muscles affected. Anybody who is nttacked with writer's crump should glvo writing up for u time, since pa ralysis of the muscles may follow. He should treat the limb with an electrical battery and gonerally He up and keep quiet Penrsou's Weekly. Curious English Well. Tn tho grounds of Llvesey Hall, near Blackburn, there Is a spring called "Mother I.ivesey's well." The curious thing about this well Is that the water only flows during nine months of the year nml Is quite dry during tho other three months June, July and Au gust however wet tho weather may be. Tho water always commences to flow on the sanio date ouch year and never freezes oven during the burdest front Leeds (Unglnnd) News. Hlo Preferonce.
