IS To have aeventy five' thousand sohool children of Oregon taklna- active part in the agricultural and Industrial fairs of the state In 191J is tha ambition of State Superintendent L. R, Alderman. At least one-third of the youthful exhibitors at tha county and district fairs ara expected to come to the state fair with, the exhibits on which they won prises at their home fairs. Some of the most influential elements of the educational and commercial sys tems of the state are already back of thia plan and others are being brought into cooperation as rapidly aa the In formation concerning It can be dissemi nated. The State Banker's Association, the Portland Commercial club, the Ore gon Agricultural college, the county school superintendents, the teachers, the commercial organisations, the live stock breeders, and the publio school pupils are tha factors in the state superinten dent's plan of placing Oregon In the lead among the states for practical work In the publio schools.' ' Dignifying tha Industries. Not only will the children participat ing in this state-wide contest In gar dening, carpentry, sewing cooking, car ing for poultry, etc., have a better know ledge and a higher V respect for such lines of work at the end of the season, but hundreds of them will go home from the fairs proud possessors of val uable prises. Commercial clubs will co operate with -local fair boards In pro viding for prizes for the cniiaren, ex-j hibitlng at tha Various local fairs, but for prises for the winners and others who come to tha state fair preparation is being made by Superintendent Alder man and the state fair board. - ( One of the valuable principles Super intendent Alderman expects to Inculcate in the children of the state through this work, is that of self-reliance. The children may have the ground plowed for them but that Is all their parents or elders may do to assist them. When they come to the fairs they must bring cards signed by their parents or guar dians stating that the exhibits they bring have been grown by themselves unaided. The Oregon Agricultural col lege' will cooperate In sending out di rections for growing gardens' and spe cific Instructions and helps will be sent the children In their work. And Incidentally many new and better Ideas of farming, gardening, and doing home work will come to the older people of the state by being associated with their ohildren in their struggles , for indus trial efficiency, -S?. Returning from - a : tour of eastern cities, : including Chicago, . New Tork, Philadelphia and several Ohio towns. Dr. Leonard W. Riley, ' president of Mo- MinnvlHe college, said yesterday that all the east i is waiting on Theodore Roosevelt to settle the matter of his candidacy for president before deciding to vote for a Democratic nominee. : v "I talked to hundreds of men in tha cities I visited," said President Riley. My mission was not political, of course. but I was anxious to learn how eastern people felt about the presidential situa tion. , '. .'.'. :.. ,-' -Tj.-'. . .,;....-;,.. r "Nearly all the business and profes sional men I talked to said they would support1 Roosevelt if he decided , to be come a candidate. The same men said that if Taft were made tha nominee of the Republican party, rather than Roose velt, they would vote for tha Demo cratlo nominee.' i "And Woodrow Wilson will be the Democratic nominee. There is no doubt of it ' At this distance the great polit ical movements In the centers of pop ulation are not so easily discernible, but there is an unmistakable and I be lieve irresistible movement toward tha governor of New Jersey aa the man io lead the Democratic hope In the coming campaign." '. '' :,;- " While absent, Dr. Riley attended a meeting of the educational board of the Northern Baptist convention, this board representing the ' educational lntereats of all tha churches of the Baptist de nomination north of the line. Reverend E. R. Curry, of Omaha was elected pres ident of the board and Dr. Riley -recording secretary, both posts carrying with them no small honor and influence in the denomination. . Dr. Riley says that in all the east there is business quietness. "But the quietness is artificial." e asserted. "There is the usual demand and the usual supply. It Is simply that Big Business Is sitting back and keep ing a check on enterprise. There is no evidence worthy of consideration of any impending depression of serious char acter. Jj: : . "But all the east together suffers by ("comparison with Oregon. No city . I visited la like Portland. None of the achools or colleges are better than ours. None of the people are quite so wide awake and enterprising. 'V f ' ' TO ERECT HOTEL AT SECOND, BURJ1SIDE streams down the hill sides and across the tracks in places.

That China will have a commercial awakening even .beyond the most san guine expectations, is , the opinion , of Andrew Stan.-for a number of years a prominent Importer - of Chinese ' goods in this, city, who Is preparing to make a trip to the orient soon on business matters. Mr. Kan proposes to estab lish a number of agencies In the orient for -the sale of Faciflo coast products and also-expects to return with agen cies for Chinese goods here. "China Is going to wake up as a re sult of the change In affairs over there andto u will notice a wonderful develop ment along modern 'lines," said Mr. Kan yesterday , in discussing . the situation. ''China is going to become modernised very rapidly and one result thereof -will be a remarkable Increase In trade with this coast I look forward to the time when China will be a very large pur chaser vof Oregon apple. At present the Chinese can hardly afford to pay the prices, but Improved conditions will follow the awakening over there -and then Oregon apples will not be beyond the reach of the people. 'The demand for lumber I expect to Increase very materially, for revival of Industries, opening of mines and other development lumber will be required In much larger quantities than now. Then there will be a demand - for ' woolen goods. I . believe. - -' The Chinese grow very f few sheep and- In - the northern part of the country only. Oregon should not overlook any opportunity In devel oping : trade in that direction, "The Chinese - are becoming friendly to America and American goods and begin to realise . that a gjeat - volume of trade should be carried across the Pacific" .
