For, without entering Into re fined speculations, it may be shown much easier to design than to perform. A man pro poses his schemes of life in a state of abstraction and disen gagement, exempt from the en ticements of hope, the solicita tions of affection, the Importu nities cf appetite, or the depres sions of fear, and Is In the same state with him that teaches nit on land the art of navigation, to whom the sea is always smooth nnd the wind always prosper ous. Dr. Johnson. AS OTHERS SEE US. The first public criticism made by the party of German agriculturists, which recently passed through Ore gon, was upon the lack of Improve ments and farm conveniences In the TVcst The second criticism upon Ameri can farming was to the effect that American farmers work too hard that they numb the enjoyment of term life by a pitiless haste during long and Incessant hours of labor. These are the views of expert fann ers from one of the leading agricul tural nations of Euroie. If their opinions are sound and their judg ment just, the American can Im prove his condition by being intro duced to hts own failings In the first place, a comparison of BicthodB and convenience should pot he drawn between Germany and Oregon. Germany has been farmed for 150O years. Orogon 5u. Germany fc. striving to recuperate a soli worn out by constant use. for centuries. Oregon is trying to produce the larg est possible crop from virgin soil, wftti no thought or saving Its strength. Germany Is fanned In small tracts by people who are rooted to the land hr tradition nnd occupancy, and who cipect to remain In the same home for life; Oregon and the West is fanned largely by men who are try ing to make a stake out of farming, itii which to retire or enter other business. The Gorman wants to grow the greatest variety on the smallest space; the Oregonian wants to grow the greatest yield and clean up the largest possible profit In the shortest fpace of time The German farmer Is fixed in his sphere and conserves Ills strength atid" substance with that view; the ITeatern farmer of this year may be tbf president of tho hank next year, and so his labor and aim are tinged with ambition. Many of the largest and moat pro ductive farms of the West are not -occupied by their owners. Improve ments are made to meet the bare needs of the laborers upon the farm during seeding and harvest time. In Germany the farmer lives upon lis little tract of land and improves it in the highest manner possible, for the farm is the home for all the gene rations of farmers. In Oregon and tfcu great wheat belts of the West, lkt farmer in a majority of cases con stantly looks forward to the time when he will he able to move to the rtty, where educational faciiuiOH and social advantages are more satisfac tory. This causes a constant upbuild ins of fine homes In cities and a con tint deterioration of farm improve- The rule does not apply to all farms 1b all farming communities, for there are thousands of farms In the West just ns highly Improved, Just as closely managed nnd Just ns zealous ly benutitled as any In Europe. But the possibility of the farmer becom ing something else In the freedom or this government, and In the prom ising opportunities of a now country, makes the farm, In many cases, a stopping stone, a stopping plnce. on the way to higher ambitions. That American farmers worU too hard, there Is no doubt. The very possibility of the fanner becoming the capitalist, causes him to put every nerve under the highest tension. In hopes of getting rich and afterward taking it easy. The result Is that the real enjoyment, the slow anil staid appreciation of country life is more or less benumbed by the hurry. An American will plow tnree fur rows around the Held while an old country German Is hitching tip his team and lighting his pipe. The American is working for a stake and i wants It to come Just ns quickly as possible so he can quit work. The dream of a fortune is constantly be fore him. He can't take It easy. The old German, rooted to his an cient holdings, thinks of the quiet enjoyment as he goes along. Saves his strength. Euts four meals a day In harvest. Conscious thnt he is only a farmer nnd must so remain, he makes the most out of the life. He don't hurry, for he would only grow old more quickly by it. The farm is his only hope, so he puts all the enjoyment possible Into It and lives as he goes along. For these reasons, the German ex-' pert saw the vast difference be-', tweon the Gorman and the Oregon farmer. It is n mnttor for regret that the landmarks of early Oregon historj have not been better preserved, says the Southern Oregonian. Features whose interest would increase with the years have been suffered to be dostroyed through Ignorance or in difference. In 1S53 there was some trouble with the Rogue Ulver Indians, though the war did not occur until two years later. In 1S53 General "Joe" Lane, whose name Is Insepara bly connected with the historj- of Oregon, made a treaty with the Rogue River Indian on a spot which is now included within the present city lim its of Grant's Pass. He met the In dians under a black oak tree on Rogue River, Just above the "White Rocks." Old-timers are still able to point out the stump of this tree, but the tree itself has been cut down and sawed into stove wood in these latter years, probably by some man who never heard of Joo Lane. Pendleton If now plentifully sup plied with Idle men of all descrip tions. Harvest hands are coming in in great numbers ; professional ho boes and hard characters ot different kinds are sprinkled In the collection and the police court is collecting fines and dealing out good advice at all hours of the day. The petty pil fering from box cars is the only crime so far reported, but It will lead to worse, when closer vigilance puts a stop to this. Every city in the Northwest complains of the same sur plus of Idle men who are willing to remain Idle. The only remedy for this Is a general determination on the part of cities to harbor nothing hut bona fide worklngmen, who can give evidence of their good Inten tions. The idle class spends no money in the community and is a constant menace to those who work- The Telegram pertinently snyh: "If a roward has to he offered for per sons who commit crimes, what is the uie or maintaining a sheriff's office and a police force, witli all their fa cilities for catching criminals? Mult nomah county pays out something like $100,000 a year for a police de partment, and a lot more to feed idle deputy sheriffs, and yet the cry is made that rewards should be offered for criminals." It would be pleasing to Oregon if she could believe the paper railroad stories now afloat. One of the most gigantic propositions yet sprung In the West. Is the unnounced new road to be built by Harriman, from Rod Rock, Montana, through Ilolse City. Ftraous the World I a. ' P" sold Kver.irwu&i.E nnd Canyon City, nnd down the I)es Chutes river to n Junction with the O. It. &. N. ut The Dalles. It would be n happy day for Orogon, if she could believe this Btory. It would mean the opening of an empire al most ns great ns the settled portion of the state today. It would open to settlement one-third of the area of Idaho, and fully one-fifth of this state. It Is scarcely more than a dream, however. Oregon Ir accustomed to these opiates, which are Intended iu cause her to forget her painful freight rates. The settlement and reclamation 1 from Idleness of the great Canadian j wheat belt, by Americans, reads like , a fairy tale. Thriving cities, busy j and prosperous communities and hamlets are thickly studded all over, that vast northern territory. Noth ing that is valuable remains idle lone If in reach of tin American. WHAT ONE WOMAN DID. Mrs. Eliza I). Ilurnz is dead at SO, In New York. She was the first pro-, lesslonnl woman stenographer. Half j a century ago Peter CooiKsr gavo her, a room where she could tench other girls how to become self-sustaining. That was the beginning. . ' And since; Think of the immense army of young women who are bread- ' winners by the nld of stenography, j In Eliza Hurnz's day there was a prej- J udice against husines women thnt nl-1 most amounted to persecution. Peo- j pie were so narrow-minded thnt they ; could not understand how a woman ' could associate with men In n busi ness capacity and still be refined nnd honest. Now there Is no prejudice to amount to anything, In New York alone there are more I than ."in.Oiii) stenngraplH'rs. In the entire country it would be folly to hazard a guess at the number. The i skvscrapers and office buildings are full of them. Some of them support brothers and sisters, sick parents and Invalid husbands. Mnny have used stenography as a stepping stone to higher inlngs in the commercial world, and have become managers and even proprietors of business houses. There Is no reason why a woman should remain nt the foot of the ladder, because destiny placed her there. w In no manner has the woman sten-, ographer failed. She is to be trust- ed. She is often the custodian or bus-! iness- secrets worth a king's ransom, j In a thousand offices she knows as much nbout the business as do the proprietors. She tnkes me place or, memory for many a business man. She is growing in numbers nnd effi ciency, and the world .wonders how ( It ever got along without her. ! The human being who helps others ' to help themselves is a benefactor. Monuments have been reared to those who did fur less for humanity 1 than Eliza a. mini!'. Spokane rross Josiali S Smith is on trial for pt jury nt Astoria Health is a magnet which irresistibly j draws the man to the woman in life's I mating tune. Health does more than j tint the skin with beauty ; it puts music I into the voice and buoyancy iuto the etep, as well as happiness into the heart. A great many women covet Ixsauty and are constantly seeking aids to beautify them. Let a woman first seek perfect 1 health and nil other charms shall be added to her. There can ic no general health for women while there is disease of the delicate womanly organism. The first 1 step to perfect health is to cure womanly I diseases by the use of Dr. Pierce's Fa- I vonte t'rescnption. It establishes regu larity, dries weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and curea female weakness.
