State Department
k f. i :
fTVLIE state department of agriculture has been the target
f A for political gunfire for past months. Candidate Dunne
f scolded at the hordes of inspectors who cluttered the agricul
tural landscape; and recently Governor-elect Martin has in
timated the department was not doing the job it should. In
,: addition a market editor of a Portland daily took a crack at
' the state agriculture department. There may be grounds for
1 ; criticism of the type of organization set up in the department
; ' V. xi i i - t '
uy uie xnexger oi iormer lnuepenuent units; or 01 some ui
C the ways in which the department has been conducted. But
we are convinced that a thorough and impartial study .will
show a great degree of accomplishment by the new depart
ment under its director, Max Gehlhar. The director has an
".', nounced his purpose to retire from office, so this comment
cannot be construed as designed to defend him in his tenure.
Take the matter of inspection; There is inspection in sev
eral of the divisions such as plant industry, foods, grain,
Xweights and measures. These have operated for .years; the
c practice has been well standardized ; the executives were con
tinued under the new administration; their work is effi
- cient and meets with very little complaint No disinterested
; person would favor relaxing inspection for example of foods
I or of weighing devices. The only added inspection service
is in the grading of farm products ; but that is a service de
manded by Oregon producers. A state certificate of grade for
potatoes, celery, lettuce, hops, etc., protects the grower
- against unscrupulous buyers or commission men in distant
cities whose frequent ruse was to declare the shipment "off
grade" and make settlement accordingly. This certification
:,. service is not imposed on the growers but requested and paid
r for by them and the growth in inspections in three years
I from 9,815 to 13,435 cars is proof of its value. The cost is
V1 paid by the grower or shipper.
Definite progress has been

is expanding Oregon's butter market. Not much progress has
; been made in the marketing field because the legislature has
. made no appropriation to finance this work. In addition the
more complete marketing service of the federal department
of agriculture has made state work less necessary,
r New duties have been piled on the department and'ad-
ministered to the benefit of agriculturist ; notably the agricul
tural adjustment act for the 'state, under which produce
codes have been set up; and the produce peddlers and dealers

tion of growers.
Gehlhar has consolidated most of the divisions in Salem
' giving unified administration. He has administered his of-
"fice with rare economy, transportation costs for example

the state fair during the hard times, and with the aid of

In August, 1840, Mrs. Frost
opened a school at the post, at

Emory; five of the six half-breed
daughters of Birnie and his In

The part of the Frost Journal
covering the trip to the Willam

"August, 1841. Br. Smith" and
myself had for some time con
tempiaved a
tour by land to the
in order to procare
I Willamette,
some cattle and horses, as we -aid
found It wearing ourselves out
very fast to cart everything on our
backs;. and a great deprivation to
be without milk and butter.
"So In the month of August we
set out for the Willamette, and by
a way the whole length of which
had never been traveled by any
white man; and all the knowledge
we could obtain of its length or
character was the Imperfect ac-

roughness of the way. But his
wife, who became quite Interested
Is our behalf, said we could go,
and told her husband to go, and
not be lazy upon which he said
he would go and show us the way
for a short distance, and if we
would surmount the difficulties
we would then meet, we could go
the rest of the way.
"s
"So we set out, and found the
short distance bad enough; the
briars and bushes were 10 or 12
feet high, and very thickly inter
woven, and in addition to this
there were two small creeks to
cross. . . . After taking us thus
far, the Indian told us he would
go back and get his breakfast,
when, if we succeeded in sur
mounting i n e s e obstacles, we
would proceed. Bui' I judged by
his peculiar look that he felt quite

should not be troubled with pilot

All this was a new side of Earl
Harrow for her, -one she admired
greatly.
She was made eonuortable In a
huge room with an old canopied

she waa too pleased and excited to
do more than inspect her new sur

and that night she went to bed read
ing a New York paper. She began
to doze over a Broadway column in
which she found this item:
'Karl narrow, who vut those
baddies in their place in Florida, is

"This is different to you ? After t

"Very," Kay said. "1 never was I

"New York I despise, and then

"That's rather a strange way of .
