The farmers of Oregon are fast learning the lesson that wheat is no longer king. While it is true that bread is still the staff of life, yet it is not true that wheat raising is a lucrative industry. The mar ginal line between profit and loss is completely obliterated alien the farmer sells his wheat crop at 40 cents a bushel. The cost of pro duction is too great in this country for 6ut farmers to compete with the cheap labor of South America and India. Of course, the Oregon farmer cannot afford to quit rais ing, wheat, but he can diversify his farming. He can convert his wheat and barley into beef and pork, chickens and eggs. The farmer has opportunities to make maney, but he must know how to improve them.

The city of San Francisco is making a strong pull, a long pull and a pull all together for the re publican national convention. The Examiner heads the subscription list with $7,500 and the Call fol lows with $5,000. The subscription paper hag just started on its errand and over $23,000 is already sub scribed. At this rate a big pile of money will be pledged, and if the magic power of gold can win that convention., San Francisco will get it. The Extebprime did the Dallas Observer a genuine service last week. It inadvertently and $nite nnintentionallv,of course, said sorae- Ocr esteemed contemporary, the Dallas Observer, takes the E.ntek- prjse to task for publishing "a couple of items headed from Dallas and'fiigned 'Grover. " The Entkb- prisk always trys to eliminate from its columns anything that savors of" little bickerings," for it has no mu3 to throw at any community or individual. The items crit icised ,purparted to be statements of fact and we published them as matter of news. Whenever an er roneous statement appears an itbis paper we are always glad to hae it corrected. We cannot ibelieve, however, that our correspondent, who is a high minded gectlernan, would intentionally misrepresent the community where he lives. Indeed, we know be would not. The newspapers are full of spec ulation in regard to the verdict the jury will render in the Durrant case. No one can foretell the ver dict. Every one who has clowely filfcwed the evidence is morally certain of Durrant's guilt, but it is not clear that tl e evidence legally convicts him beyond a reasonable doubt.
