Sir Henry Walton. THE TOLSTOI OF OREGON. dfon of Urn cities should rush to the freo llfo of tho country. ProfosBor Locltonby Is a lover and follower of the great Russian philos opher, Tolstoi, nnd like that great man, loves and studios tho llttli5 things or lifo nnd nature. A felon tlst nnd nn export In his lino of activi ty, ho despises notoriety. Discoverer of the art of expressing colors in pho tographs, and tho inventor of a plow, which can bo drawn by one-third the power required to draw the modern "horse-klllors," he yet rofuscd to patent his inventions, saying: "I niii not a di3covorcr; Ihoy Just ennio to mo, ami I am' surprised to think have failed to boo tho simple prlncl pies behind them so long." It Is lntorBtlng -nnd Inspiring to watch him nmoiig his plants and How ers nt the farm. He caresses them nnd calls thorn by familiar names, just us a lather would talk to a son. He wntsihos tho development of each spe clc and plnnt closely, nnd knows In an instant when something Is wrong. fOno of the most remarkable scien tists and Industrial students In Ore- in . son is rroiossor A. u. l.eelconby, su- i tfons Iierlntendent of the Oregon Experi mental farm at Union. b Professor Lecknby lives closer to nature, aud is more conversant with Iter various moods and... meanings, probably, than any other man on the -Pacific coast. Ho Is proitd to call farming an art, and prouder still, to call all tnie. Ex-Governor T, T. Geor, In his re marks before the Irrigation assocla tlon, said that while In .Missouri' (ast winter, working In the 'Interest of a Lewis and Clark Fair appropriation, ho Incidentally called attention to Umatilla county wheat crop of 1897, which amounted to about 0,000,000 bushels, or one per ceut of tho entire wheat crop of the United States, that year. Tho fact scorns so fabulous to the Mtssourlans and so many ex pressions of surprise and wonder wero -made by men of experience and knowledge, that after telling that truo story nbout Otegon, and hearing sueh broad Insinuations regarding his veracity, ho always cut tho truth half In two, when talking about Oregon after that. It seems unjust and unfair to the resources of the state, to think that citizens must really .suppress tho actual truth, when telling of Its won ders In order to protect their reputa- thlnklng farmers, artists. He bellovos and has proved by a long and varied experience, that plant llfo and the garth, are but clay In the hands of man, to be shaped and directed at his will. By studying the growth, life, mimi monts, adaptability, diseases, joys and 'developments of plants, ho has learn ed and determined to his own satis faction, that their lives are closely allied to human life, in Us progress through the various stages of exist nce. Plants love certain conditions and thrive under those conditions with ac tual Joy, expressed to tho observniit stye. In vigorous development, and healfhy advancement. Thoy have Individual characteris tics,, like humans. All potatoes are not the same. There are sick tlls .satisfled potatoes, Just as there aro humans tainted with those peculiari ties. If the soil is not adapted to their growth, plants sicken and wither and. pine away, Just as a consumptive or on asthmatic person, in a climate unsulted to their disease. There must be Intelligent cultivation and systematic care, to preaervo the lifo of plants, and cause them to yield tho best returns, just as there must lxi care and attention to a growing fami ly. Host of the failures In farming he attributes to Ignorance of these vital fundamental principles of arming. Too niauy nioii think that a seed should produco and multiply, under any conditions, nnd tho failure of the abused seed to bring returns, is called 'crop failures, or Is attributed to tho unfavorable climate or soil, when tHo trouble Is too ofton with the fanner. The object of tho experiment sta ' ton. Is to study the soils and plants ot Oregon, and find which crop will" yield the greatest returns' to tho 'farmer, under,certaln intelligent lines , of cultivation, and in certain soils. 'armlng Is a progressive science. Tho , iclcntlflc farmer can improve nil crops from year to year by tho selec tion or good sed and tho Improvement or his Individual plants by caro and tender solicitude. Professor Leckenby lives tho sim ple llfo of tho farmer, In the minutest detain He believes farming to bo The most ennobling of the sciences, for the . reason that the farmer who grasps -, his. occupation and converts It into a , work -of -Joy, Is Independent. Tho . . tarth can bo made to produce uvery lluxury, and thoro lg no adulteration ln- tho workshop and alchemy of na ture. ,, Health, vigor, Intelligence, lndopcnd1 unco, wisdom, exprlence, and content ment are to bo found In tho cultiva tion of tho soil, nnd tho rush of man kind should bo roversod, aud Instead of tho country boy losing himself In iim nhvaRes cnlled cities, the clill Every delegate to tho recent irrlga gatlon convention, Interviewed on tho subject, expressed the Intention of attending the next meeting of tho National Irrigation Association, to bo held at El Paso, Texas, In - Septem ber, 1904. Those meetings are educa tional in a high degree, and Oregon must send a delegation to El Paso that will bring the 1!)0B congress to Portland, In order that 'the citizens of this state may have an opportunity lot" hearing tho valuable proceedings of thut national bodv.

But our loaves In Spokane aro to bo smaller? Yes, an ounce or two to the loaf. What of it? Why, do not poor people eat more bread tnnn rich people? Yes, and more potatoes and more bncon. Dread Is certainly cheap. It is -almost as cheap as light aud air. It is. In truth, the staff of life. The Press hasn't tho slightest ad verse criticism of tho plan of Spo kane's bakers in clipping tho size of the loaf. That's their busluoss. Any law regulating tho slzo or price is class legislation, objec.ionablo to the uemocratlc spirit of our country. Tho theory of all sound business is to buy as cheap as you can and sell Tor all tho market will stand. In clipping the size of tho loaf, Tho Press doeB not for n moment believe that Spokane's bakers are trying to got all thoy can. The condition was forced on tho HARD DRIVEN. The mother slowly times her footsteps to those of her baby driver. Yet she is bard driven because not alone In the brief moments of play, but all day long must she keep pace with baby's wauta and needs. Generally the mother who experiences a larger uemanu on her energies has less and less strength to respond. Sometimes she suffers from diseases peculiar to her sex, and often has never thoroughly recovered her strength after baby's com-hie. For au women who are- weakened by womanly dis eases or wuo are run-down by maternal and household cares Dr, Pierce's Favorite Prescription is commended as a medicine .which promptly cures disease and restores the strength.

It Is not a question of profits, hut of the right to live. When tho price or size of a loaf of bread is concorned It Is high time for all classes, Irrespective of race or party, to grow thouchtfui. t Spokane, like all our nation, today presents a strange economic nnomaly. Never were we more prosperous, never did nature pour out her abun dance with more lavish hand, yet never in the history of our ritv or country was tho cost of living higher. In other words, the law of supply and demand Is reversed; alid with an overflowing market, prices .have gone far above tho timber line. ' Now broad Is the staff of llfo. A loaf Is certainly cheap; cheap as air, Tho point Is right .hero: When It Is necessary foi1 bakers to clip the size, In order to meet living expenses, tho orn of high prices has reached the summit. Iletwoeu tho unprecedented demand of the Spanish war. and the grasping hand of tho great trusts, prices have soared beyond all marks in American history. Therefore, tho I'russ draws this les son: Tlint bread, the most necessary, cheapest food, going up In prlco, or falling In weight, is a forewurnlng that a great economic change will soon be coming; that, In n word, our country must seek a now scale of prices, else the wage earner will no longer be able to keep body nnd soul together.
