Mr. Jay's invention, it will be re membersHl, consists of a curved steel strap spoke which aosorbs the Jar of the rolling vehicle. It is essentially different in principle from the An drews wheel which was demonstrated on the street a couple of weeks ago. Associated with Mr. Jay in the man ufacture of the wheel are J. A. Horse man, William Gulliford and Aaron Co'e. The inventor declares several of the factories which he visited In the east are desirous of manufacturing the wheel for him but that he has not completed arrangements with any. He also states that he has received flat tering offers for his rights but choos es to hold on to an invention which it took him many years to perfect. The model which he had made in Chicago Is on exhibition at his Cot tonwood 9'reet shop and is attracting considerable attention. KAKMEKS HKAll GOOD ADVICE. (Continued from page one.) RESILIENT WHEEL PRACTICAL MAXCFACTITIERS KXCOCRAGE IXVEXTOU ISAAC JAY Has Modrl Manufactured and Is Of fered llattcrins Sums for Rights in Patent Whifl Displayed at Local Shop. Returning from a trip of several weeks through eastern states where he had been for the purpose of mak ing preliminary prepnrations toward putting his patented resilient wheel on the market, Isaac Jay. the well known blacksmith, declares he is much encournged over his invention and believes that in time it will find universal use. Not only did the Union Model Works of Chicago de clare his wheel to be the most prac ticable of the five different kinds of Bpring whr-els for which it has turner; out mode's, he says, but every me chanic in the different factories ir.ess interest of the country. These captains of industry fully recognize the value of agriculture to commerce. In our own state much work is in progress to promote agriculture. The Tri-County Development League con sisting of Portland business men has subscribed a fund to maintain a traveling agricultural advisor and. to provide prizes for the growing of al falfa, field peas, corn, etc., and for the best kept flock of hens and pea fed hogs in Gilliam, Morrow and Sherman counties. Also the Oregon Bankers' association and Union Stock Yards have pledged a fund for the encouragement of boys and girls in the public schools to produce farm and garden crops for which liberal premiums will be given; also for the formation of boys' clubs for the pro duction of hogs. All these agencies will contribute greatly to a more gen eral knowledge of better methods of farming and at the same time cannot fail to impress many boys of the op portunities in the field of agricul ture. An Agricultural State. The farmers of Oregon last year produced about $125,000,000, of which Umatilla county produced about S7, 000,000 which makes the county on the point of production the banner county of the state. Despite this fact, however, a rather unique .condition is found here. Pendleton for the past 10 years has been practically station ary in population. The city has steadily grown richer until perhaps it is the richest city in the state in pro portion to population. If it were not for the development of the irrigated sections of Milton, Freewater, Herm iston, Stanfield and Echo, the county would perhaps have less population now than it had 10 years ago. This Is due to the peculiar agricultural condition of the wheat producing sections of the county. For example it seems that the rural population around Adams, Athena and Weston 1:-, growing less rather than more. This is ctrtainly unfortunate for the best interests of the county and state. This condition prevails in spite of the fact that this is the best wheat producing district of the world. The remedy is more diversified ag riculture which the district is abund antly capable of sustaining. TIio Ilanner County. Umatilla county comprises J937 square miles or 1.879.680 acres and has a population of 20,309 persons. Let us make agricultural comparisons with the little country of -Denmark where diversified agriculture Is practiced to the fullest extent. Denmark has 10, 000,000 acres of land which supports 2,690,000 people and exported In 1910, bacon, butter and eggs to the value of $102,000,000. At this ratio Umatilla county could support ap proximately 53S.O0O people and have a surplus of. agricultural ' products representing a value of $20,400, (TOO. This may seem somewhat astounding, but it is entirely feasible for agricul tural opportunities In Umatilla coun ty are superior to those of Denmark which is a cold, bleak country with a poor soil naturally. In fact it Is so cold and bleak it Is a common practice among the farmers to blan ket their cows at pasture. In the irrigated districts of this county conditions are far superior to those in Denmark for "dairying. The wheat sections are also better for producing hogs and poultry. Great nQsybers of hogs yielding large an nual revenues can be produced in connection with growing wheat and j at the same time improve soil con ditions for tho permanent production of wheat. , It is estimated that $17,000,000 worth of meat products were brought into the Northwest last year and that $6,000,000 worth of We hogs wero brought into Oregon last year passed through Umatilla county which is perhaps the best hog producing sec tion of the American continent. Al falfa, corn and field peas in rotating with wheat will solve the problem. Smaller farms, more intensly culti vated should be encouraged.- This does not necessarily mean the break ing up of large holdings but could be worked out under an intelligent ten ant system. If owners of large tracts would subdivide their large holdings into medium sized. farms with neces sary farm buildings such farms should rent well and under certain provisos of crop rotation the soil should improve and the total produc tion of the community greatly in creased. Pendleton business men should be interested In this work for without greater agricultural produc tion there seems to ho but two ways In which business and population can be increased, i. e through the estab lishment of wholesale houses or man ufacturing industries.

Kveryone knows that the weather conditions have been ideal for crops recently but the knowledge that the light land sections are sharing in the blessings of the weather god will be particularly pleasing to the business man. According to Herbert Boylen, well known Pilot Rock rancher, prospects for a good crop in the south end are exceedingly bright, abundant rains having fallen there during the past two months. the vcttm of a peculiar accident this morning which proved quite painful and will Incapacitate him to some ex tent for several days; While using a hatchet In the repair of one of his wagons, A steel chip flew off the blade of tho tool and struck his left hand Just below the thumb with such force that it penetrated deeply.
