,T 13 THE contention of The Jour-
ntl that a main reason why
Oregon Is unduly slow In de
- velopment Is that Oregonians
not comprehend their state.
Their estimate of her capabilities
Is too low. They do not aire the
son credit for the powers of pro
, dnetIon that it possesses. They do
v .not realise the extraordinarily fa-
1 MM. a.Jltl V l.,.l 4 V-
to make here the seat and scenes of
4 wonderful and Tarled Industry.
. .They hate not yet learned, for in-
tanee,that western Oregon is, in
" Egypt, if only Intensive and scien-
tlflo methods he applied.
But there ia one little group of
1 0regonlans that comprehend Oregon.
They' know her capabilities. They
1 know to the full her powers of soil
t and sky,' and ptoflt from them. Their
Mise of things nature has placed at
jjf their doori is, or ought to be, an In-
splration to other localities.
; , Hood River is a living message
to Oregonians about Oregon. There,
."from a tiny district, $488,000 worth
; of apples were sold last season. A.
I. Mason, from 20? nine-year-old
""Newtown trees, marketed 1,141 bush
els for $2,503.0. His net profit
per acre" was 1598.60,-or per tree,
-' $9.50. His net profit from three
"' and one third acres was $1,094.85.
y In his orchard, yielding 1,141 bush
els, only 64 apples were wormy. J.
I Carter picked 48 boxes of appIesJ
from one Rhode Island Greening
tree. B. H. Sbeppard sold $2,040
worth of apples from 180 trees, or
$12.75 per tree. L, Struck, from
three acres, marketed $4,000 worth
of fruit.,
These are a few of the scores of
Instances of achievement In apple
- growing by those who have learned
Oregon's capabilities. They are the
J product of meeting natural Condi
a Hons with science, intelligence, care
and energy. By the same methods
-what Hood River has achieved In
apples can be done in other lines of
farm industry all over Oregon. But
, It cannot be done by the methods
' grandpa used. Forty years of try'
ing have proved that.

those declaring that big and power
ful criminals . must and should be
made to obey the laws. This doubt
less does seem a "wild" and absurd
Idea to them; they never heard of
such a thing under a Republican ad
ministration before; but the masses
of people seem to consider the presi
dent's utterances on this subject
words of sanity and soberness. The
Gazette, however, hopes for better
words and things of Mr. Taft, if he
should become president It "does
not concur In all that he says, but
the speech on the whole Is an uncora
monly sound document," and the
tone of It "Is thoroughly sane."
Now the question arises: If this
able railroad Journal considers Mr.
Taft "sound" and "sane," and Roose
velt "wild" and craiy, how Is it that
Mr. Taft is a thorough and com
plete representative of the "Roose

and managed, has carefully
studied Secretary Taft's speech in
Which he dISCUSSed th ra!lrna1
problem around its edges a little,
,nd concludes that Mr. Taft is all
right, or at least not dangerous. Mr
Taft, says the railroad organ, "has

slbllitles and desirabilities of cor
, poratlon regulation by the govern

able maker of speeches has," mean

"pose. Mr. Taft said nothing to dis
please the Gazette, but it reminds
him that he might have gone a little

presence of a strong law and an in-
telllgent commission will some day
tend to lessen legislative action
against railroads, on the samn nrin.

THE CELILO CANAL PROJECT
nniBAT Trtrvmnr tnr th r.
lumbia river region was
gained last winter when the
jetty project at the mouth of
the river, was placed upon the con
tinuing contract basis. Now the
work will go forward steadily till
completion, regardless of the lack of
funds immediately In hand, whereas
heretofore work;, was prosecuted only
intermittently, and much of it Vas in
replacing former work that in eon
sequence of Its uncompleted con
ditlon the elements -had destroyed.
But when an Improvement project is
placed in the continuing contract
class, it is rescued from these costly
and aggravating delays, and is
pushed continuously and promptly, to
completion.
T v - m. . .
iiuw wnu nas ai last oeen ac
complished for the Jetty project
should be done as soon as possible
for the Celllo canal. That is the
next big and extremely Important
project to be carried out in the grand
work of opening up the great Co
lumbia river to navigation. Under
the present system, with a stinted ap
propriation once perhapa in two
years, the work may drag along for
20 years, as the Cascade locks proj
ect did, or at least for several years
beyond the time -sally necessary to
complete it. Colonel Roessler is of
the opinion that with sufficient
funds to be used under the continu
ing contract system the Job can be
finished within two years after this
policy has been adopted. Con
tractors will then go right ahead and
would be very enlightening and con
g. When eastern peoplg-rrodrfflo work as speedily as possible,
work done tn two or throe year In
stead of 10, or oven 10, can be read
uy apprehended. ' The task imme
diately before us, then, Is to get con
gress next winter to, place this
project on jthe continuing contraot
basis. To accomplish this, every
possible energy of overy possible
agency should be bent, and It this is
done wo have reason to believe the
task can be accomplished.
Colonel Roessler, we presume, will
report in favor of this policy with
regard to this project, and it is prob
able that the board of government
engineers will Indorse his report.
This will be much gained, but there
will be hard work yet to do to get
a favorable report from the house
committee on , rivers and harbors,
and a favorable vote in both houses
on the necessary bill or amendment
Mr. Btrrton, it la reported, will not
be chairman of the rivers and har
bors committee any more, which Is
to be regretted for he understands
the case well, but he will yet be In
tluential. A loss of a very good and
strong friend of this project will be
sustained In the absence from the
committee and house of Mr. Jones of
Washington but after March 4 next
he may be In the senate to help. New
men will be in these veterans' places,
which render it all the more neces
sary for friends of an open river to
prepare for a vigorous campaign at
Washington next winter.

of course, and will be aided by those

FOODS AND FADDISTS.
D'
ON'T BELIEVE much that you
read about the poisonous na
ture or unwholesomeness of
natural products, such as vege
tables, nuts, berries and fruits. Just
as there are a lot of specialists who
have become microbe mad, or bug'
house on germs, in every imaginable
substance that one comes In contact
with, so, for variety, and perhaps to
be peculiar, another set of faddists
has arisen who manage to get into
print to try to make people believe
that what we all considered the most
innocent and healthful of vegetables
and fruits are horribly homicidal and
should be abjured, or eaten rarely
and with great caution.
These faddists and notoriety-seek
Ing inventors of new scares have be
come a pest in the land though not
as yet a very great pest because but
few people are foolish enough to
believe them. It doesn't take a spe
cialist, or a scientist, or a physician,
or anybody but a person of plain,
ordinary common sense, to perceive
that most of these assertions of the
unhealthfulness of clean, ordinary,
natural foodstuffs are untrue. A
certain grain, or vegetable, or fruit,
or nut, may not "agree with" a cer
tain stomach and digestive organs
in an abnormal condition; but be
cause there may be an occasional
case of this kind It does not follow
that the same foods are unwhole
some or In any wise dangerous.
All of nature's foods, long tested
and used and known to be nutritious
and non-poisonous, are good, safe,
healthful and nourishing, notwith
standing all that food cranks may
say about them. All of these mis
chief-makers combined know
lses and clothing, to see that food,
especially mllLf and meat, Is pure and
fresh, and then go ahead about your
work and play and pay no attention
to the germophoblsts. If you lis
tened to them yon would Boon starve
to death.
RICHARD MANSFIELD.
(t 1b
REAT WIT to madness nearly
ainea, ooservea
great poet, and the truth
of his observationNla-often
Illustrated. A man of genius, or
such very rare talent ' as to be so
esteemed, Is often' if not always
"queer," and seems at times and in
some ways to be on the verge of
insanity. At least he is erratic, pe
culiar, In some ways unconventional,
of ungovernable temper, dogmatic,
perhaps In some particulars appar
ently oblivious of yie rights, priv
ileges and feelings of others, an
iconoclast in habits. Tet along with
these traits may appear extreme
tenderness, Intense love of children
and animals, a passionate sympathy
with music and art sparks of the
God-life flaming np along the "trail
of the serpent."
Such, though perhaps not In so
large degree as some other geniuses,
was Richard Mansfield, the country's
greatest actor, who last week passed
off the stage of life, having "In his
time played many parts," to the en
tertainment and enlightenment of a
multitude of less prominent actors
on the same great stage. He was a
man of sharp peculiarities and dom
inating temperment, but these were
but slight flaws, if Indeed not neces
sary adjuncts of a genius whose life
was absorbed In his art. Mansfield
was not in the greatest rank of his
trionic artists, because he was too
palnfHlly laborious and technical In
his art; but he was a born artist
nevertheless, and followed his bent
courageously and with utmost devo
tlon along lines that seemed to him
artistically true. While his work
was open to reasonable criticism, m,

his conscientious use of It. 'J.;

The wonder Is not, or at least
should not be, that a movement is on
foot to clean up the waterfront, hor
ribly filthy as It long has been, but
that such a movement should have
been delayed so long. The river
bank, lined with wharves and used
as It Is, cannot of course be kept per
fectly clean and neat all the time,
but It can and should be kept In a
fairly decent condition, which means
far different condition from what
it has ever been in. And while this
movement for civic decency Is being
made there, other places should not
be overlooked. There are literally
hundreds of alleyways, backyards,
and other purlieus of old buildings
that are in a filthy condition that
would be a disgrace to Port Said or
Zamboanga. Owners and tenants
should receive sharp notice to clean
up these places and keep them clean.
RAISING ALFALFA IN OREGON
I
F THERE ARE farmers In western
Oregon who have tried alfalfa
and failed, something must have
been wrong with their methods,
Here Is the statement of a Corvallls
paper that one acre of alfalfa on the
State Agricultural college farm pro
duced 228,506 pounds of green al
falfa in six years. The yield is the
equivalent of 28 tons of cured hay,
or an average of 6 1-8 tons from
the single acre per year. The soil
was below the average of ordinary
wheat land, and was on the highest
point; of what is locally known as
College Hill. It had two dressings
of barnyard compost during the six
years and 60 cents' worth of land
plaster each year. The field, which
has to be abandoned in order to be
come the sight of a new college barn,
still has a good stand with a pros
pect that many future crops could
be cut without reseedlng.
Assuming that the college people
pursued correct methods, which Is
probable, the conclusion that faces
THE COW AND THE HOG.
T
HE GOOD milch cow and the
easily fattened hog are a great
combination anywhere, and
Oregon is no exception to the
rule. But to make them work with
the best profit they need to be care
fully selected and well cared for.
We don't pretend to speak from per
sonal knowledge or experience, but
have no doubt that Professor
Wlthycombe and Commissioner
less Bailey are correct in advising dalry-
about the matter than one ordinary men to select cows for milk only,
the farmer who has failed at the
same undertaking. Is that bin mnth.
fods must have been incorrect. The
ajfalfa actually grown at the college
Is concrete proof of It, and proof
also that under correct methods al
falfa Is both a possible and a highly
profitable crop In western Oregon.
No other deduction is possible from
the showing made at the college.

the incorrect and damaging reports
sent out by the Associated Press
concerning the recent storm In Uma

respondent represented that great
damage had been done, whereas the
Injury to the crops was but slight,
which, the East Oregonlan says, gave
the county an undeservedly bad
name abroad, and It adds: "No
wonder people discredit much of the
Associated Press news, when they
see such manifestly untrue reports
as this was, in print."
