The conditions confronting the cattle Interests of the state viewed from the stat.d point of finance and humanltar ianism.la to be regretted. A severe win ter would bring death, for many of the dumb brutes and consequent loss to the . owners. The loss of hay by fire In Kla- mathcounty. where Ore swept the rich marshes, reduced the hay crop of the southeastern Dart of the state materi ally. A shortage of hay is also report. ed from the other cattle districts of eastern Oregon Including Grant, Har ti. y, Malheur and even Umatilla coun ties. Alfalfa hay Is now bringing as much as 112 a ton whereas 17 has here - tofore been considered a eood price at this season of the vear. . This high price extends up Into the-' Irrigated regions of Yakima. Wash, Cattlemen realize that there are more cattle on the eastern Oregon ranges than hay can be provided for, even at exorbitant prices and it is to save the pioictlve loss and avoid the Inhu nviiM contingency of allowing cattle bones to bleach on the eastern Oregon plains that relief Is sought. . One source of relief is to transfer the surplus .;. stock from the eastern slope of the Cascade mountains to the western slope of the Coast range. Col one! R. C. Judson, who is thoroughly - acquainted with the climatic conditions and has had experience In handling . stork, thinks this Is" a practical solu tion, so far as land can be had on the coast for grazing purposes, at a reas onable cost. ',. Clatsop and Columbia counties have the advantage over other sections for grazing eastern Oregon stock on ac count of transportation facilities, and it Is likely the experiment will be teste In this section. A prominent cattle raiser of Wasco county has offered to lease from WO to-. 5000 acres of land along the lower Columbia, for cattle grazing purposes, providing he can get Ihe land for a term of years. Others 3n eastern Oregon are looking out for a way to carry their stock through the winter, and when one herd Is brought Into this section others may be expect ed to follow. Such a move will result In attracting stockmen's attention to. the grazing possibilities of the coast counties and - in i " rapid in crease of cattle, sheep and goats that are supported on the ocean side of the Coast mountains. In no section of the country can stock be raised at less ex panse than , here. Two and three year old cattle now range Clatsop's hills that were never fed a mouthful and are fat enough to make good beef. These, however, were raised here and have known nothing but the moist cli mate during the winter season. This I-ossibly is an advantage coast cattle possess over cattle from the ranges of eastern Oregon brought here after they hnve grown up.! The rains of the win ter might put humps on the backs of the eastern Oregon cattle the first winter, if turned loose like the home MMI0E) Malthoid Roofing. Fire resisting.

Mr. Grim, who will arrive tomorrow. Mr. Oberg was to have departed tor Portland today, but the Illness of Mrs. Oberg made this Impossible. Mrs. Oberg Is now recovering. I cattle. But that contingency can be provided against. There are sawmills and plenty of lumber along the Colum bia and if necessary, winter sheds can be built as cheeply here as in eastern Oregon. ; The bringing of more cattle into the country means the development of more acreage of soil and the project of shipping In from the ranges of eastern Oregon should be encouraged along lines of reciprocal benefit. OMEGO'S CARGO DISCHARGED Barkcnthte Is to Bo Converted ' Into a Schooner. The barkentlne Omega has finally finished discharging her cargo of coal and Is now at Knappton, where she l taking on a cargo of lumber for Sun Francisco.

GKAN u V Iff SCURSION TO PO RTLANB 'The tendency of our educational system has been to educate the children away from the-work by which a large majority must earn their living. The purpose should be to educate the child' ren along the line of their work to fit them for the environment in which they will soon find themselves. I do not mean by this that all children should become farmers or that they should be taught that they" ought to become farmera, nor that they should be discouraged in an ambition to fit themselves for any other occupation to which their talents may lead them What I mean to say is that since the greater portion of the people of this country must make their living by farming or other occupations that re quire a knowledge of the elements of agriculture, the public schools should Instruct the children upon this subject Too often teachers are in almost com' plcte ignorance of practical agriculture, and, I am sorry to say, some of them are not ashamed of their ignorance I believe that a young man or woman vho has worked on a farm or at any other useful nanual labor Is a better teacher, other things -being equal, than one who has not the knowledge that can thus be acquired. This subject could take the place of 'Nature Study,' and, if necessary, we could abbreviate oiir arithmetic and geography." J. H Ackerman, state superintendent of schools. GOES TO SOUTH AFRICA. The Britl8h ship Windsor Park cleared yesterday at the Astoria cus toms house for Durban and East Lon don, South Africa, with a cargo valued at almost $95,000.
