date of filing 'their incorporation papers

' A number of corporations have not or
ganized for the transaction of business
alter filing their articles, and they claim
ex-mution from the anuual license fee
until Buch a time ax they shall organize

blfs that the tern s "organization" and

AGRICULTURAL FUTURE.
Dr James Withycombe Writes
Interestingly in Rural Spirit.
Nature has lavishly bestowed
her best gifts to, Oregon. Her
mountains are rich in mineral
wealth and are clothed in the
finest forests found on the conti
nent, yet her greatest" source of
wealth rests in her undeveloped
agriculture Oregon with her
96,030 square - miles ot area em
braces a wealth of rich soil,
which when oroDerlv utilized
will support in luxury millions of
our citizens. ;. The topography of
the state is responsible for a wide
variation in climate and soil.
The two grand physical divisions
are each characterized by dis
tinctive features in agriculture.
In the Eastern division condi
tions are exceptionally favorable
for grain and stock growing.
The Columbia river basin at
present is famous for its wheat
production. It will in the future
be equally as noted for its im
mense output of live stock. Agri
culture in this section will grad
ually change to systems of gen
eral farming. This will be made
necessary for the maintenance of
soil fertility. Under : such -conditions
of farming the wealth of
agriculture will be greatly ac
celerated. Exclusive grain grow
ing is usually of short duration
in any section. The soil must
have some means for its recuper
ation. Thus animal husbandry
in some form is the only solution
to the problem of . permanently
successful farmiug in any grain
growing community. -
The most optimistic mind can
scarcely conceive the magnitude
of the possible V development of
agriculture in the Inland Empire.
Within the next , decade tens of
thousands of acres . will be re
claimed by irrigation This will
mean the production of an im
mense amount of stock food. In
stead of cattle ranging on a
thousand hills they : will be
found in the future on ten thous
and modern farms.' Animal hus
bandry is the basis of successful
farming.'.;. .oy,..;-.' :-
The great problem, of immed
iate interest to the stoclc industry
of this state is that of markets!
Wi hout attractive markets aie
developed within the near , future
the stock industry , will suffer a
severe handicap. It would seem
as it the business interest of Port
land should be ; aroused from its
apparent indifference and take an
active interest " in -the develop
ment of good markets for live
stock. ,It cannot be expected
that the local consumption will
keep pace ' with? the output for
several decades, hence outside
markets must be secured. This
will mean the establishment of
'modern packing houses for the
economical distribution of the
meat products of this state. The
markets of the Orient, Alaska
and the Pacific Coast as far. south
as Central . America should be
invaded so as to find , outlets of
sufficient magnitude - to absorb
the great increase of meat pro
ducts designed ; to materialize in
the Inland Empire. Not . only
will this increased output be
made possible by irrigation, bat
the great grain producing dis
tricts of -the Columbia River basjn
will also contribute their quota.
Exclusive wheat growing in these
sections will be "supplanted, in a
large measure by animal hus
bandary. ; "' Alfalfa,; peas, rape,
and vetch will be produced as
rotation crops with the cereals in
this section. This will mean
the feeding of great - numbers oi
stock where but few are produced
at present.
Sheep husbandry will also as
sume a somewhat 'different as
pect. Wool will be made largely
incidental to mutton . production.
The grain farmer Will be feed
ing large numbers on ; the forage
crops grown for the purpose of
replenishing h his wheat land.
This will mean a large produc
tion of mutton under more strict
ly farm conditions. Instead of
the great bulk of the range . sheep
being ' forwarded, to the , corn
growing states they will be finish
ed On the wheat fields of Eastern
Oregon. ' Cattle and hogs will
also enter largely into the scheme
of this new system of Husbandry.
This will mean the elevating of
agriculture iif the Inland Empire
to a higher plane of stability.
Agriculture1 ty be effective ! and
permanent, must include animal
husbandry. This is indispen
sable for the maintenance of soil
fertility. Our farmers should
banish the erroneous idea of the
inexhaustibility ol their farms.
The great progress in agricul
ture in Western Or gon will be
along the lines of dairying and
stock breeding. This section is
ideal for the establishment 01
small farms. Thus sooner or
later this section of the state
will be noted for its number ol
small farms. Here conditions
are favorable for the production
of the highest class of domestic
animals. Thus in addition to a
great development in dairying
many stud flocks and . herds will
be established which will char
acterize Western Oregon a one
of the greatest fine stock breed
ing centers of the continents
Truly there is a great future
for agriculture in this state. Our
commonwealth is richly endowed
with natural resources but the
great wealth of Oregon rests in
tht- devtlopmeni of her agricul-

OWING TO AMERICANS GEB
3SIANY NOW HAS A NTTMBEB.
From Modest Beginning Two in, Ber
, lin Have. Acquired Iiarge
Membership and "
" "... Prestige. -
- Berlin. Germany , will never be a
country of clubs in the English and
American acceptation of the term, and
it Is small wonder that German women
have been among the last to establish
clubs for themselves.
To American women belongs the dis
tinction of having established the first
woman's club in Germany, in 1895. This
clu5 was organized for the purpose of
benefiting girl students by opening to
them a house where they could hear
their own language, , have access to
American books, newspapers and mag
azines, and 'above all receive advice
and sympathy to help them along the
unfamiliar ways of life in a foreign
City.; : :!-::
From a very modest. beginning the
American woman's club has grown to
iie one of the most important organiza
tions of its kind on the continent -Although
possessed of no great capi
tal, the organization is self-supporting,
any deficit being made up by a bazar
or entertainment : In tne winter a re
ception is given once a mpnt, and
musicales or lectures are- frequently
held. The "club owes much' of Its lit
erary activity to the efforts of Mrs.
Andrew D. White,1 wife of the former
ambassador to Germany, who- auring
her residence in" Berlin,, was president
of ; the organization. The present
president is Mrs. Charlemagne Tower,
wife of the ambassador, .and the .vice
president is Mrs. Fran , H. Mason,
wife of the United States consul gen
eral." .' ' '
The membership as a whole is vari
able, but averages between 400 and 500
a year.- '1 he fees are ten marks and
five marks, the last ', for students.
Classes in German and French open
to members are 50 pfennigs a lesson.
A charge of 50 pfennigs for a guest to
the reception is made, this idea having
been borrowed from the practical Ger
man. ; - ....
: Three years after the American
Woman's club was organized the
De'ltscher Frauenkluh name iTit- o-r-
Listence, being founded by the wealthi
est and most influential' women in
Berlin. This is preeminently the smart
club of Germany .and counts among its
members and supporters one ' royal
princess and two or three excellencies
and ladies in waiting at the German
court. Marie von Luyden is the presi
dent..; Once a year this club , opens its
doors to strangers, when, a large re
ception is given, to which members are
permitted 0 invite husbands or broth
ers or friends. This is the only oc
casion upon which men are allowed
to enter the house. -
After this clubwas well established
it was decided that its fees were high
for professional and ; self-supporting
women, and a second club was organ
ized. These two, the . Deutscher
Frauenklub and the Frauenklub von
1900, which are in no way rivals, are
situated next door to. each other. The
second club has a membership of 1,100.
The annual fee is six marks, and the
restaurant prices are correspondingly
moderate. The club offers business
opportunities to its members and or
ganizes sales for their work. The
president is Fraulein Dr. Tibertins, one
or the best known of the woman physi
cians in Berlin.
' The, Hanover Woman's club, estab
lished in 1900, is the youngest in Ger
many. It combines the characteristic
features of the ten Berlin clubs, offer
ing social entertainment to the woman
of leisure and assistance to the pro-'
fessional woman. 1 .
With these four the list of woman's
clubs in Germany Is made up, unless
one may Include the many working
women's clubs in Dresden and Berlin
and the - Young Women's Christian
association, established in Berlin a
year ago. - . - , : ' ' ..
The working girls' clubs were estab
lished in Dresden in 1896 and later in
Berlin these were so successful that
the German Association .for the Pro
tection of Young Women' took a hand
in the movement, with the result that
such clubs have:been formed- in nearly
