FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1910.
A number of our exchanges
have been publishing an item of
a wonderful tree and shingle
mill that were and are the won
der of Tillamook countv. As
published, the tree, a magnifi
cent cedar, made 141,000 shin
gles and it took the mill 33 days
to cut it into shingles. When
we calculate upon its achieve
ment we li tul that the mill cut
less thtiii 4300 shingles per day,
or not enough to keep a good
shingler busy laying roof, and
we have known men who cut
their timber, rove and shaved
more shingles per day than that
mill cut. The tree, no doubt,
was all right but what about the
speed of the mill? Such infor
mation as this is sent out with-'
out thought as to its merit, and
we do not always see the ludi
crous tangle that is warped
around it. Tillamook very like
ly had a tree that produced 141,
000 shingles, but it is hard to
imagine the merits of a mill that
would be employed 33 days in
making that amount when it is
a well advertised fact that single
machines have cut that amount
in less than a day and a half.

with a tariff wall. It begins to
look as though the tariff on wool
was being manipulated by the
manufacturer for the benefit of
the manufacturer. Someone
must get the benefit of that 11

Willamette Valley Filled With
Colleges.
Professor J. B. Homer, of the
O. A. C., in an address at the
Albany High School dedication
the other day:
"I have carefully . studied the
geography and history of the
Rhine and Rhone, the Seine and
the Thames, as well as the dense
ly populated districts of this
country, and have come to the
conclusion from the evidence be
fore me that there are more col
leges, universities, churches, or
gans and pianos in the Willam
ette valley between Eugene and
Portland than in any other dis
trict of like size in the world. In
this narrow stretch of territory,
123 miles long by railway and
covering less than 3000 sections
of land, there are sixteen colleges
and universities, and as many
business colleges and academies.
Every habitable foot of land is
accessible to a good public school.
Seventy-five of these public
schools teach high school studies,
and many of them already afford
high school buildings.
"In this little tract of territory
is one-thirtieth of all our colleges
and universities in this country;
and these institutions of learning
train about 1-80 of the college and
university men in the govern
ment. These figures are all the
more remarkable for the reason
that there are no colleges in
Southern Oregon, and but one
in Eastern Oregon.
"There were founded by the
Oregon pioneers at least 16 other
academies, colleges and universi
ties, which have since been
merged into high schools and
supported by the state, the ma
jority of which are located in this
favored tract of garden homes."
