' That western Oregon of far aa ad mlrable field for. the .production of oomblng wool of as fin quality aa th million of pound Imported Into this : country annually' from England, and that farmer throughout tb valley could materially add to tbeir wealth by running small band of combing wool beep, 1 the opinion expressed by Sam uel Pearson of thl city, who for nearly half a century ha been closely allied With the wool Industry. . "If western Oregon farmers would de- rote only a 'small portion of their time ' to tbls industry," be said. It would mean the establishment In a vary short ' time of combing plants to handle tbe r produot, and besides adding new feo ' torlea and opening up new avenues of employment for Oregon would be '; source of heavy and profitable income to the farmers themselves." In a letter which Mr. Pearson addresses to The , . Journal, h says: .- ' sr kage I It.' ' "Regarding the very valuable and In : tereetlng report of the sheep and wool - Industry of the United States In your Issue of April 1. It show that Oregon has 1.100,000 head of sheep with a wool v produotloa of 11,000,000 pounds. , The shrinkage. In aoourlng, however, 1 TO per cent, so that the produotloa of clean ' wool Is only 4,190,000 pounds. , "I consider this report hardly Just to ' this state la regard to the shrinkage. . ' No doubt It Is true with reference to the eastera part ot Oregon, but It is well known that a very-great part of the wool grown In the "Willamette val-l ' ley Is known to the trade as croas-bred oomblng, which class rarely eieeeda 10 ' per cent la shrinkage.' --. "A few' weeks ago the British steamer Ashantl arrived la Boston from- Aua 1.; trails bringing the most valuable cargo ' of wool over knftwn, namely, 4,I3,C ' pounds, valued at 12,000,000. The duties amounted to TtS,000, the freight - charges $(0,000, and the premium on ' Insurance $15,000. Thl wool la In the grease ahd largely "botany"., combing, the moat valuable grade of wool and - used for the finest worsteds. ' r ' . "Tbe county of Yorkshire, England, with aa area of something over (.000 qua re miles, has " liTfl.ttt head of sheep, wbloh produoed ll.4TI.60t pounds of wool, or a fraction less tbaa seven pounds per head. - The shrinkage In soourlng shows net pounds clean wool to be t, (07.001. The average prloe of , Lincolnshire wools for 10 year pact has beea Ji cants per pound. The total value of wool ahlpped from England to mis country amounted to nearly -$1T, ooo.ooo during ii months of 10(. - - : Suggestion to Tamer. -- "To the writer It has often beea matter of surprise why Oregon la par ticular does not make a greater showing In Its production of wool, possessing aa It doea a rich soli, aa equable climate and everything essential for a first class combing wool. I mention ' this kind because all wool practically speak ing raised J In the counties of Lincoln end .Yorkshire, are ar this class, and, we have been Importing them to my per sonal knowledge for over 4$ years. And this, too. la view of the fact that the Oregon farmer receives- the benefit of II cent pes pound duty aa against tb British grower. ' "A already stated. Oregon , show only 4,50,000 pounds eleaa wool, equal to about half that raised la-toe oounty of Yorkshire. In my estimation there 1 a splendid opening for wool growing In the western- part of Oregon. I do not mean by 'having large band,' but rather that eaoh and every farmer ought to have from 100 t 100 head and be stow ,the same care and attention upon his sheep . that he doea en fine eattle and horse.. It 1 aa admitted Tact that sheep return more to the soil than they take from it, cenoe ought to be profit able. y , .-. . " v ' DESPONDENCY DRIVES : W00LRIDGE TO DEATH ' Ooldendale, Wash April t.

Weeds' Kam Winn. br. von Lendenfeld' first work under Smlthsonlaa grant waa performed In 1100. - It consisted mainly of general studies into the etructure and function of th organ of flying creature, aa a' preparation suitable for researohea into t the actual mechanics of flight. . Sines then much of his time haa been taken-' up In personal laboratory lnveatlgatlona or In directing investigation of hie du- . pil in ths university at Prague. . The first set of exnerlments. mmnln. ed-about three year agd, eetabllshed be yond a -doubt that aonr property of air enabled larger and heavier btrda aueh a th albatross and th eagle o austaln their weight with comparatively much smaller wing surface. It waa worked! out , by analogy that, given the secret ', of control of motion, a man weighing i 100' pound . (10 kilograms) could sail through th air with a sustaining wing , surfac. of about three " square yards (t.T square meters). But when Dr. von Lendenfeld turned to consider - th actual mechanic of flight, he was confronted Immediately by the fact that all birds by no means fly alike. The two extremes, th al batross and the humming-bird, the ex perimenter took aa types. Insects, also, h found to be classed In a Ilk many nar. ' . - ' -' Among botlr- bird and insects, how ever, th sailers were found not to be restricted te the large creature and th flappers to th small On th con trary there were discovered creatures of all slses in each group. In the sailer class th lemon butterfly war plaoad be side th stork and the allvsr gull beslds th dragon fly. The flapper elasa em braced flyers from the bussard and th pheasant to th houae fly and the gnat In this study ef night method, there fore, th Question ot sis had to be elim inated, - - . -. . , v. : 1 umaa Being Save th Mmaolo, t Muscular power waa an slsment to be considered. Dr. von Lendenfeld was satisfied that th flapper were gifted with- truck troagrmuol than-the sallara And bo found that although human being could not Immediately de velop enough muscle to Join the class of flapping flyers, he mlgnt well be able. If he knew how, to soar at will. . AU three conclusion hinged upon th interesting phenomenon that the ln creaa In weight, to be .carried through th air to not proportional to the nec essary lncreaee in sis of tue support ing aurraoe, mat la, the larger th bird, th smaller In proportion are th wing. Knowing that th air require an ap preciable time ta yield to th pressure of th moving wing, th larger th wing surface, th greater the' quantity of air displaced and the greater tbe resistance or this compressed air to the subsequent wing stroke which must act upon It, It la evldsnt that thl conclusion to cor rect. .... i i . v Upon a principle of oom pressed air. therefor, may rest th ultimata solu tion of man's flight abov th earth. At th same time that Dr. von Len denfeld was working out, these facta Dr. XL Mascha, studying under hi direc tion at the institute, was determining what magic there might be In the feather structure .of bird's wlnga His result show how perfect for It pur pose t th topping of th feather quill on over another. The combination ot strength and lightness In this flexible structure to a combination th value of which 1 mor widely realised in com merolal construction every day. . On th under side and at the ends of th feather libera, Dr. Vfeecha points out microscopic hooks which serve to at tach easily on feather te another to make up on whol wing structurs. Tapering with greater aad greater flexibility toward th back and and of tb wing, the feather make possible th peculiar motion ef the wing upon the air. . Wtost Ai Beea in Bird Are Tot. Two other sets of research have Just been completed under th direction of Dr. von Lendenfeld. Th first, con ducted by Dr. Bruno Muller, wss de stined to determine the use of certain empty spaces In the bodle of birds whloh have pusslsd Investigator for many year a The second has te do with the flight of four-winged Insects.
