The death of Stale Printer Duni way leaves the affairs of the public printing1 oIice in a liadly muddled condition a condition which might easily have hecn avoided had a cow ardly legislature and an autocratic (iovenior only listened to the advice of Mr. Duniway and an overwhelm ing majority of the practical pi inters of the state. The existing condition is the result of "too much law." In 1911 the legislature passed a law placing the stale printer on a Hat salary, purchasing a printing plant, and giving the Governor pow er to appoint (the printer. The law was to become effective January 1, !)!."), or upon the occurrence of a va cancy in the olliee of state printer. This mischievous measure, which might eventually throw the gates wide open to unlimited extravagance and possible graft, was not looked upoih with any great degree of favor hy the legislature and for a time the fate of the hill was extremely doubtful. It was then that (lovernor West, yielding to pressure brought by certain interested labor agitators, threw the powerful influence of bis olliee in favor of the passage of the bill. Threatening the legislature with a veto of the general appropria tion' bill unless bis wishes were com plied with, he succeeded in fright ening a siillicient number of weak- kneed members of that body to give the measure the votes necessary to bring about itn passage. This law provided that the newly-created printing board should not only take charge of the public printing, but that the state should buy a plant for the printer as well. The last legislature enacled a law placing it he printer on a Hat salary and providing that the slale printing shall be done bv contract alter Jan uary 1, I!)."). The bill of 1!JU was rejM'aled, but (he repealing measure was vetoed by (jovernor Wesl. Kvidently anticipalini: bis earlv death, or foreseeing some such emer gency as exists at the present time, Slale IVinter Duniway counselled the legislature to pass the hill over the veto of the (Jfivernor, and the lower house did so. The Senate, however, sustained the veto. As a result, the state now has (wo IMioiuifi oiws one providing mat a printing plant shall be purchased at once, and the other requiring (.hat all public! printing shall Im' done bv con tract alter January 1, 11)1."). it will be seen, therefore, (hat it is now up to the board to buy a plant, notwith standing the fact that the slate will have mi use for it after the end of the coining year. In addition to saddling a debt of nondescript apples doesn't bear any comparison with a community devot ed (o the Spitzenburg, Winesap or Wagener. There is more permanent profit in carloads of uniformly bred Shorthorns or IJerkshircs than in tbe production of mongrel herds of cat tle and hogs. The passing is to be noted now and forever in the history of the Pacific nortnwesr oi tne idea that anv man can raise anything on any section of its territory, as well as of the idea that any man can get rich in farm ing. The successful settler hence forth must lie tbe maifwho is will ing and capable of choosing well, lis tening well, working well and keep ing everlastingly at it The farmer can have no higher ambition, nor for that matter can any other man, than that or making a good living for his family and laving up something for the rainy day. It is also becoming vident that the path of safety for the farmer is never to forget, year in and year out, that it is up to him to make all of the family living that he can practically out of his laixl while pursuing his specialty in farm ing. The national department of agri culture, the stale department of ag riculture, the agricultural colleges and experiment stations and all tbe agents for the development of the agricultural resources of the Pacific northwest can do no more effective work along permanent lines than to carry on surveys winch shall indicate the sections best adapted to engage ini them resjieetively. In other words the sectionali.ing of agriculture is in these latter days the end and aim of agricultural progress. fmm i mil mm iiiiiiMirinraiiiiii m jrrumssiana.

Not exploiters nor rainbow chas ers, hut sensible forecasters of the future, Secretary Daniels of the na val department and Secretary Lane of the department of the interior have given out that which to any community means value untold. Secretary Daniels, after visiting Portland says that while the Pacific coast cities have made wonderful growth, yet this is bagatelle in com parison with the growth that lies be fore them after the opening of (he Panama canal. Secretary Lane in speaking of the great Alaskan territory has faith that, if congress will appropriate the money to build an Alaskan railroad, the two following years will see an Alaskan immigration of permanent settlers that "will pale into signifi cance the rush to government lands within the nation itself." These are statements from practi cal men of sound judgment. They are acquainted with conditions m the regions of which they speak. They are simply expressing their honest convictions of their sober judggment. We have known such conditions for a long time, yet are pleased that they are seriously considered. The Dog's True Friend.

By this; spring site had grubbed out t lie brush ; and trees and dynamited the stumps j on seven acres. A part of this land was planted to oats which at the1 present time are more than seven feet ill, and on another tract she is rais-; ing every kind or vegetable that can i be grown in Oregon.

This undesirable condition can be charged lo a bull headed Governor ami u little hand of political demagogues in the Senate, lioti one of whom has the slightest practical knowledge of the printing business.

I have been an interested reader of Ihe hide letters in the Oiv goiiiun concerning our good friend, the dog, and agree with the writers that dogs should not be allowed to roam the city streets; but when a man comes out mid says that the dog is no gool ami of no use in the coun try I want him to show me, or give me a chance to show him. He says a boy will drive in the cattle, etc., just as well as a dog. Ii want lo say in the -first place thai n i . - . i . ii, . . (iog iisks no wages, ail lie wants is fair treatment, and I have Airedales that will drive the chickens, sheep or callle into their proer places and keep them there while I eat my din ner or attend to other wink. The same dog will lind ine all the birds that the law allows in a day, will tree a bear or cougar on the side and will ; not let a holro, I. W. W. or an Indian , talk back to my w ifo in my absence. I would like to say to these ix'ople '. i that if they do not like a dog, do not 1 i own one, but, for the love of Mike.1 I leave in alone that do appreciate ' j I hem. j It reminds me of an article I saw 111) llie Ol'iMminoill l;lwt winter r.illimr of a hunt taken bv a certain Port- laud crowd.
