which he visited, pave their opinion
:hat the invention is certain of suc
cess. 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.

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.

prospects for a good crop in the south
end are exceedingly bright, abundant
rains having fallen there during the
