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. If Manchus won he
got the credit; if the rebels were
to win he would quit in time to

Surveys are being made for a seen

coiui«iratirely few people on account |
of its inaccessibility. A pn>i>o«ed auto

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.
