Since that time the surveyor has: (1 arly defined the state lines, and ui o these states hundreds of thous-. anas of brave people have pioneered. There today great cities stand, skyj scrapers pierce the sky, the hammer is heard, business thrhvs, the . i lit.i lands are kissed with irri gation ditches that drain the gla- kts' melting How and spread bounty and prosperity into the lap of an ag gressively progressive people.

But amaz. men t would make him wiser were he alive today. On the :! r of the I'nited States senate he opposed the acquisition Of the Ore gon territory because he said, "You cannot roll a wheel out there." Soon after Daniel made this dec laration a fellow by tile name of Whitman rolled a wind out there. On hi' wheel Whitman laid a load of apple roots. With them he planted OUl there what have grown to be the greatest apple orchards In the world. The changed map has taught anew the old lesson that all things are possible to the men who deny defeat to the men who dare.

NATIONAL BUDGET ON TRIAL Th.- new director of the budget. General Lord, has before him a j standard of accomplishment the ad I ministration points to with an e. i C Usable feeling of pride. The books for the liscal year 1922 recently closed show the year began with a prospective deficit of $24.- 4 a , .1 and ended with a surplus of receipts over expenditures of S313,801,C51. Th.- national debt has been re duced 11,041, 8,844, and a balance i of 8272,105,512 remains in the gen eral fund. It is only fair to say, however, thai Secretary Mellon clearly point ed put so roe months ago thai much of the i.n rely due to reduction of a post pone roe a shift in th ixpendil u ri of pa mi governine financial operations. Calm analysis of the results of the budget system do not warrant more thnn an indication in its fa vor, though certainly nothing can be said against it. The system has not been put to the test, proof of its efficacy being impossible to date. With a more complete knowledge of the resources of ihe government now known and a closer tabulation on expenditures that are elastic, the likelihood is that the new budget which Is now in hand will he much more accurate than its predecessor. When General Lord is ready lo re- Neseasty of increased facilities for handling the rolling stock of the Sua hern Pacific company at its Brooklyn shops in Portland has re In active construction work be ing started on three new buildings bleb . :n tost approximately $50,000. according to officials of the company.
