NYREN A KLOSHE ILLAHEE.
The following verses were written by John 11. Cradlebangh, an
Oregon newspaper man. The title “ Nyeena Kloshe lllahee,” is the
Chinook name for the Willamette, translate«! into English as “ Song
of the Good Country:”
Bloom of apple and orchard trees,
Scent of clover and hum of bees;
Spreading oak and towering pine,
Billowing wheat aiul climbing vine;
Tinkling brook by wild rose traced,
River with balm and willow laced;
Grove and glen, and sun and shade,
Fairest of lands that Gml has made.
Far as the gladdened eye can see,
Meadow and brook, and flower ami tree;
Miles on miles of emerald swartl,
Mountains that keep eternal guard;
Pillars of tiame in the morning sun
Pointing a Paradise lost ami w on;
Where sundown sleeps with her banners furletl.
The emerald gem in the ring of the world.
A POPULAR DEMOCRAT
A peculiar and significant thing about the Wilson administration
is the apparent popularity of Mr. Wilson himself with members of
all parties and the lack of much severe criticism of his policies from
any party.
This is peculiarly striking coming as it does after the Taft admin
istration, which was conducted along the same quiet, businesslike
lines as the present administration, yet was bitterly criticized even
by members of the party in power.
It is doubtful if Mr. Taft was more unfortunate in the selection
of his cabinet or showed less tact in the handling of the tariff and the
Ballinger affair than has Mr. Wilson in the Mexican embroglio.
Certainly he never did anything equal to the fuss about the
Caraboa incident, yet he was bitterly assailed from all sides for the
very things that seem to have brought Mr. Wilson popularity.
Possibly Mr. Wilson might have been placed in a different light
had he followed noisy, big-stick Teddy. Possibly Mr. Taft paved the
way for the dignified Wilson administration.
I f he did create
desire for calm action in place of vacuous bellowing, he performed
a noble service for his country.
Possibly the two most significant things about the Wilson admin
istration are that all parties seem to have joined hands to make t
successful administration possible and that the greatest progress in
regulating the money power, trusts and corporations has been done
without the show of big teeth or threats of big stick violence. The
entire financial structure of the nation is undergoing a far-reaching
reconstruction without the hint of a panic.
When the Wilson administration comes to an end there will be
a record of accomplishment probably never before surpassed in the
history of the nation. There will, of course, be many things for
which Mr Wilson and his administration may be criticized, many
things which will be done differently from the way we would have
done them, but we trust that those who may oppose him if a candi
date for re-election, may be more fair than were those who assailed
Taft, to the end that we may never again have such another dis
graceful exhibition as that of the recent presidential election.

THE UDDER W A Y .
One of the most practical moves ever started for the develop
ment of Lane County was initiated at Eugene Saturday when at an
enthusiastic meeting of representative men from all parts of the
County, the Lane County Dairymen’s Association was organized and
a committee appointed to arrange a method of financing a movement
to purchase dairy cows in large consignments from the eastern mar
kets, these to be sold to farmers and paid for out of the profits of the
cows themselves.
This is not an original idea but is none the less a valuable one.
It was advocated by The Sentinel over a year ago.
The Sentinel understands that no profit is to be made on the
cows and that only a nominal interest will be charged on the money
advanced.
Thousands of acres of grass annually goes to waste in Lane
County. This waste fed to cows would flow from the udders of the
bovines in a form that could be use«i to purchase thousands more of
the milk-producing quadrupeds.
Lane County, with green grass practically all year around and
with a climate requiring only the most fragile protection from the
weather, is a field for dairy operations that opens the eyes of Eastern
visitors and causes them to exclaim, “ Such conditions would mean
wealth almost untold back in our country.”
Thousands of farmers are anxious to add to their dairy herds,
but cannot themselves afford to ship in what few cattle they would
need individually, or couldn’t pay for them cash-in-advance even if
they were at hand. With capital furnished to put cows on the farms
that will pay for themselves with the profit on their own milk in a
couple years, it is easy to believe that this move is a momentous un
dertaking for the development of the best county in the famous,
fertile, fruitful Willamette.
«f* W. Pixley of the Eugene Register, to whose energy and efforts
this movement is due at this time, may find himself some day hailed
as the father of the Lane County dairy industry.
