IIL t;ossn or mtuam. New York, April 15. Thin has been u week nf memories, Rail and Klinl, for those who wore the blue or the gray In the nrlm battle to the denth that had its orlnln fifty years nun. Last Wednesday was the anni versary of Sumter, and it was exact ly a half century iiru today that Ab raham Lincoln, at lust brought to a realization that pence was no lonper possible. Issued his first proclama tion calling for volunteers. This first call was for "5,000 men but a hand ful compared with the great army that later was to hurl Itself against the brave soldiery of the south. New York was among the first to respond to the call for troops to put down the "combinations too powerful to be suppres.se, by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings" the words are Lincoln's ami many of the bravest and most devoted soldiers who fought in the war enrolled In the Twi !!th liegimenf. Six days after Lincoln Issued his call the gallant Tweirth left New York for the front, marching "proudly away under the flaunting flags, keeping time to the grand, wild music of war down the streets of the groat city through the towns anil across the prairies down to the fields of glory, to do and to die for the eternal right." The semi centennial of the leaving of the Twelfth will be celebrated by the sur vliors of the regiment at a banquet to be given at the Hotel Hector next Friday evening. The truest of honor will be (leneral Daniel H, Sickles, the only survivor of the corps commander who took part In the war, and who began his military career In the Twelfth. Col. George It. Iser. present commander of the Twelfth, will preside . There are iibout 100 members of the civil war regiment now living, about half of whom now reside In New York. Fifty years ago today, if we may judge by the newspapers of the time, New York was divided into warring camps. The downfall of Fort Sum li ter had convinced many of the advo cates of peace that was had become Inevitable, but there were In the me tropolis thousands of others who continued to clamor for peace at any price. Lincoln's call for troops was denounced in many quarters as un wise and unnecessary. There was still another party who. forgetting that southerners were Anglo-Saxons and Americans and necessarily as ' good flgh'ers as any In the world, ridicul ed the proclamation calling for 75, 000 men, and one New York paper called upon the mayor of the city to "call out the police reserves and send them south to put down the rebel lion." A few months later that same "moulder of public opinion" was Kinging another song. Telegraphic Howling Moot. New York, April 21.

Sixty days ago North Plains, Oregon's newest town, hud a population of less than a dozen persons nnd on the townslte stood a frame building, a tent und the frame work for the water tower. Sunday, April 18, North plains safely claimed u permanent population of 200 with 4 0 buildings complete or nearly so. Streets are graded, sidewalks laid, wa ter and lighting systems available to all town property and portions of the acreuge and several brick buildings completed. North Plains Is a necessity. Port land business men realized this when they formed an excursion party to the new row n two weeks ago and as sisted the citizens in the organization of thu North Plains Commercial club, the latest uddition to the Oregon De velopment leugue. In sixty days North Plains has added two lumber yards, a creamery, brick plant, fruit cannery, meat packing plant, coal and wood yards with several new Indus tries completed. Tho town of North Plains is the metropolis of the Tualatin valley, one of the richest sections of the state, but which has been without transpor tation until the building of the United Hallways. A tunnel 4,100 feet was built through solid rock to maintain a uniform grade and permit the fast running trains from Portland. With in a radius of a few miles of North Plains are ,10,000 acres of fertile soil. i, 000. 000, 000 feet of fine timber and several thousand acres that can be devoted to fruit culture. Large farms ire being subdivided into tracts of from one to ten acres with a view of settling up the valley. North Plains Is already getting ready for an agricultural fair and celebration Julv 4.

Program ChaagM on taUif, Tuesday! and IMaara :s PROSPEROl'S YEAR FOR CITY OF LONDON London. It Is calculated that this will be one of the most prosperous Years London has seen in several decades. Toward the latter part of June money will veritably flow like water. The government will have spent $l.oiiii,0(i(i (,n the coronation, a big sum within itself, yet only a tri fle when compared with the amount that will be spent from all sources. Probably 25.000 people at least will come from the Continent, from the colonies India, the United States and all quarters of the earth. Many of these will be Immensely wealthy, and with their expenditures in hotels, on amusements. In purchases of pictures, antiques, Jewelry and clothing, their total outlay will run into millions. Then London has her own wealthy citizens, who will spend lavishly on clothes, in entertaining, at theaters and in a dozen other ways. And last ly, there will be an Immense con course of London holiday makers and provincial visitors. It is estimated that 1000 wealthy visitors, many of whom are Ameri cans occupying houses here to en tertain during the coronation season, will spend $'.0.0(10,000. Estimates place tile total amount that will be spent at $210,455,000. The estimates are placed that 10,000 wealthy rtritons will spend $50,000,000. or about $5, 000 each. The first court has been fixed for Tuesday. Slay 9, and it Is to be al most exclusively diplomatic and offi cial.

Probably the most hopeful tend ency In agriculture in the Willamette valley today, believes Manager Chap man of the promotion committee of tho Portland Commercial club, is the breaking up of the large farm into smaller acreage. This means a denser population, Improved social conditions more scientific care of the soil, more products and a tremendous gain in wealth. Economic waste, he believes, has marked Willamette Valley tillage heretofore. Pioneers naturally se cured and held large farms; they were mostly grain growers and some still stick to this crop almost exclu sively. Modern agriculturists say that this is wrong. A country such as the Willamette valley, with a favorable climate for a wide diversity of crops and with a soil the depth and strength of which Is hardly equaled anywhere, Is fit for better things. The old far nilng system was a cruel waste In that It exhausted the soil and the returns were far short of the possibilities. Western Oregon is naturally the place for the small farm. With the passing of the sturdy pioneers and the higher valuations of farm lands, the thousand-acre holdings are being broken up Into smal ltracts to the Immense advantage of the stato. Tho interurban electric lines have proved a big factor In this transformation The natural Inquiry is being made by those not familiar with Willam ette valley soil as to what can bo done with a smal lacrenge. This Is the time of the passing of the "land- poor" farmer; extensive agriculture is being supplanted by Intensive methods.
