II ■■ .1.1 HPllE movement that has been started to provide a recrea­ tion park for the children of the Lents Section of the city is a good one but we are afraid that it will all come to nothing. It is customary for growing cities to wait till the available areas have all been occupied or so increased in value that the city can not afford to own them when an agitation is started to secure space for such parks. If this section of the growing city of Portland is to have a park it is time to take some action on the matter. Since Lents] is not an incorporated part of the city that will be a difficult matter to accom- lish. It has been suggested that a part of the county ground north of the gravel pit might be utilized. That, however, is too far away from the center of population for general convenience. There are other tracts that might be se­ cured if the funds were available. Present indications suggest that nothing will be done along this line until Lent3 comes to have some municipal status. That will in all probability be settled within the next year or so and in the event of its annex- ation tolthe city-'there will be occasion to look after thejmatter at once. IT is interesting to stand aside for a moment and see the world go on, as it were. One who is as busy as the most of are really have no idea of the wonder­ ful things that are passing in the daily procession. The February Review of Reviews contains a six page article, tracing the rise of the president of the world’s latest and greatest Republic, Yuan Shih Kai. But the writer did not contemplate the situation. A'month ago Yaun was China’s “strongman,” yet of destiny un­ certain. At best he was “be­ twixt and between,” an unscrup­ ulous diplomat with a nation of diplomats. And at that the writer seems to have seen short of the motives that impelled the astute statesman. Yaun accepted the direction of national affairs with the intention of staying at the head.

Between meridians 100 degrees and 120 degrees, which includes practically ■ all of the dry country of the western ■’ half of the United States, it Is estimat ed that there are 300.000.000 acres of fertile land capable of producing a crop of twenty bushels [>er acre of winter wheat every other year. This means that if one-third of this vast area were producing on the almve basis the increase in the country's wheat crop as a result would be 1.000.- 000.000 bushels yearly, wliich is a good deal more wheat than the country lias ever produced in a single crop.
