STANFORD'S CRITICAL HOUR.
There is war on between the faculty
and the student-body of Stanford Uni
versity, and as a consequence that
institution is sharply in the public
eye; and what is more, it is getting
on the puDiic conscience, in mt
sense that the family interest is
aroused everywhere on the score of
the faculty's disposition and power to
deal with the crisis. For it is a criti
cal hour for a great school like this
when an issue is laid as between the
authority of its governors and the
clamorous whims of its students, and
especially upon a question so grave
as the liquor issue always is.
For our part we would rather see
the doors of Stanford University
closed for years to come, than have
its regents concede anything of this
sort; for its influence will go with its
surrender to these youngsters in the
matter of permitting wines and liquors
on the grounds and in the rooms of
its clients and charges. The dangerous
elements of the row are the relin
quishment of authority, in any direc
tion, to a turbulent and irresponsible
body; and the yielding of so vital a
point as has been raised in this case.
It is op to Stanford, primarily, to j
stand pat; to recede rather than con
cede, and to seal its doors temporar
ily, rather than sacrifice anything so
immensely valuable as its primal
ascendancy and rightful stand in this
controversy.

THE INVESTOR'S EYE.
i
Just in a quiet way let it be under
stood that the eye of the intelligent
investor of the Northwest is being
cast interestedly in the direction of
Astoria, Clatsop county and the mouth
i of the Columbia; and that in several
notable instances of late his purse has
followed his glance after it has lin
gered long enough and critically
enough to convince him of the merit
and rich promise of investment.
Chief among these manifestations
of specific interest, within the past six
months, is, of course, the $5,000,000
investment in railway properties and
kindred holdings, by James J. Hill.
This, of itself, is amply conclusive of
a bright future, when the turns, inci
dent to such enterprise, shall have
unfolded, and are in logical operation.
And, in indubitable sequence, there
followed the Harriman investment on
the west-shore, in a $100,000 bay
frontage;. which will, in time, play its
great part in commercial history as
it is made down this way.
The Union Meat Company, now,
practically, the Swift Packing Com
pany, has just come in here with thou
sands for the establishment of a
branch plant, sales depot and cold
storage; and quickly following,
Messrs. Moore and Howard, of Port
land, for themselves, and in the in
terest of a big Eastern syndicate have
made a $30,000 purchase of coast re
sort land, which will be exploited
with $150,000 worth of improvements
in the very near future; and these,
aside from the interminable minor
developments going on in the way of
house and home building, of which no
day tijj the year passes without the
signs' in this city and county. It is
well the local man should realize these
things, and govern himself accord
ingly.
and means of improving their minds,
and methods, in the supreme matter
of doing better work in raising their
sons and daughters, we are disposed
to consider the time utterly wasted
and the Congress a failure; because,
first, we deem the American mother
to be the best type on earth of wom
anhood, and womanliness, and in no
need of coaching as to the noble part
she plays in the destiny of the na
tion; and secondly, because, she
knows, instinctively, intuitively, the
surest, sweetest and best of all meth
ods in the making of real men, and
knowing it, does her work with a
success that is inspiringly glorious.
This, of course, is an abstract view of
of the grave question these queens
themselves have raised by organizing
and maintaining the congress.
Whenever one looks upon, or talks
with, or serves under, a good, true,
honest, clean-hearted American man,
one is close to the noble woman be
hind the son; her influence is not al
ways noted, and less frequently com
mented on. but it is there all the same,
in all its ripe and splendid fruition,
the best manifestation of our boasted
citizenship and civilization that we
can show or advert to. We are not
nearly so conscious and proud of it as
we should be; and we might be in
finitely better than we are if we re
called the essential place and power
of our mothers in the scheme of our
life-work much oftener and did it the
honor it deserves.
Motherhood, the world over, is the
chiest blessing of the races, and yet it
is conceded but little where it com
mands much. Of all man's relation
to society, to government, to busi
ness; in all his ties and engagements
and aspirations; in the deeper and
holier things of the soul; in fact, in
his first and last contact with his fel
lows and the resutls of that mingling,
he owes everything, happiness, hope,
success, pride and promise, to the
love and devotion of the woman who
bore him and charged his life with its
best and dearest aspirations and made
their fulfilment possible.
She remains in the background, un
exacting, uncompalining, oftener than
not, unconscious of the part she is
playing in the studendous game surg
ing about her; but always recognized, J
cherished and loved when her happy
son and daughter stop for an hour
to give her the due that is hers.

and cents. We all realize that the
available supply of timber is becom
ing smaller and smaller each year
and that if we are to continue in busi
ness we must conserve the supply,
When I first began business many
years ago we got our white pine and
hemlock from Pennsylvania exclu
sively to distribute in the eastern
maricets. looay practically all our
white pine comes from Michigan and
Minnesota and our hemlock from
West Virginia and adjoining states,
In a comparatively few years at the
present rate of cutting we will have
to go still further for our supplies and
even substitute and at the same time
lumber will cost us considerably more
and the consumer will have to pay
the price."

FOREST RESOURCES
That the lumbermen of the country
who are engaged in the manufacture
and distribution of forest products are
interested in the work of the govern
ment in conserving the natural re
sources of the United States was evi
denced at the recent annual meeting
of the National Wholesale lumber
Dealers' Association in Washington,
D. C, when more time' was given up
to the question pf forestry than to
any other topic that came up before
the convention. This association
takes in approximately 400 of the
wholesale lumbermen from all parts
of the country and what they had to
say about the practical value of for
estry is naturally of much public in
terest. The secretary of the association in
his annual report recommended that
the wholesalers as a body should en
courage in every ,way the study of
forestry as a part of the regular cur
riculum of the public schools. A re
port also was received from the dele
gate appointed to attend the congres
sional hearing to urge the taking of a
census of the standing timber. The
report, which pointed out the abso
lute necessity of determining accur
ately the amount of timber in the
country and which carried with it an
endorsement of the project, was
adopted without a disenting voice.
The deep interest of the lumbermen
in the matter of forestry was again
manifested when the program of the
meeting was extended to permit of
the calling upon representatives of
the Forest Service to address the
meeting.
The attitude of the lumbermen to
ward forestry was aptly . described
during the meeting by a wholesaler
who said: "Lumbermen are not in
terested in forestry or the work of the
Forest Service on any theoretical
grounds, but we look upon forestry
as a business- proposition solely and

Lawn Tennis Association Announces

A REMARKABBLE PECAN TREE
,
A Pecan grove is generally consld
ered as being a probably profitable
investment, but we do not think that
the possibilities of pecan tress are
well understood, The following,
from the American Nut Journal, will
give one instance of the remarkable
productiveness of these trees in fav
orable conditions.
; While it is never safe to draw gen
eral conclusions from a single tree or
a single specimen, yet an individual
pecan or any other fruit or nut tree
of remarkable productivity is always
Interesting.
We generally associate heavy pecan
crops from individual trees with the
alluvial bottom lands of Texas or
Louisiana or somewhere else in the
lower South. Dut we have in mind
a pecan tree in Raleigh, N. C, grow
ing on the Piedmont clay with per
haps a little sand mixed with it. At
any rate the land is very different
from river bottom land, and in fact
is in general very much like the soil
on which a large number of pecan
orchards have been planted west of
the Mississippi River.
The tree in question stands on the
property of Capt. B, P. Williamson,
treasurer of Wake county, Raleigh,
N. C, just behind his residence. It
was grown from a nut obtained In
Texas and planted by the late James
F. Taylor. The tree is probably
thirty-five years or so old. It com
menced to bear when twelve years
old from the seed and had not failed
to produce a crop every year since,
In the fall of 1905, when the editor
photographed the tree, the crop was a
little over 300 pounds. This season
the crop will go about 400 pounds.
In regard to the price obtained, Capt.
Williamson writes:
"We sell all we can spare at 25
cents per pound; 400 pounds at 25
cents will bring $100, or 10 per cent,
on $1000, or 5per cent, on $2000.'' It
is interesting to note how a business
man regards his pecan tree.
The nuts are small in size, ovate,
and of a very fine quality, and the
tree is a well-developed and exceed
ingly handsome specimen. There are
a number of very fine pecan trees in
the "City of Oaks," but this is the
largest. A pecan tree like this is
valuable.
Best Healer in the World.
Rev. F. Starbird, of East Raymond,
Maine, says: "I have used Bucklen'i
Arnica Salve for several years, on
my old army wound, and other obsti
nate sores, and find it the best healer
in the world. I use it too with great
success in my veterinary business.

INNES IN CHARGE OF MUSIC,
Seattle, Mar. 20.-F. N. Inncs,
leader of the famous Inncs Band, has
been appointed director of music of
the Alaska-Youkon-Pacific Exposi
tion, which will be held at Seattle in

military and naval bands to give con
certs in the government buildings.
Several foreign bands are now being
negotiated for.
Innes' Band will play one engage
ment of about a month long. The
band has played at all expositions
held in late years.
