This change hMheen brought about
by an act of congress, which order
many radical changes in the process
of naturalization.
The requirements generally re
main the same, namely, a declara-
tion of intention of becoming aciti-
I papers not less than two years alter
rrn and the nnnliratmn lor nnal
th rWlaratimv Th .nnlicant
must have resided in the United
0.. e, 1 a
Under the new law the bureau ot
immigration is made part of a bureau
of naturalization, and this bureau
must keep a register of the name,
age. occupation, personal descrip-
tion, place of birth, last residence,
intended place of residence in the
United States, date of the arrival ot
the immigrant and the name of the
vessel on which he came. When
application for final citizenship pa
pers is made it must be accompanied
by a certificate from the bureau of
immigration and naturalization, giv
ing all these facts.
1 ue declaration ot intention may
, . . , , .
be made at any time by any foreign-
er over the age of eighteen years.
The declaration must give all the
information noted by the immigra
tion bureau, and also state that the
declarer is not a polyeamist nor a
believer in the practice of polygamy,
After the applicant has resided in
the United States five years, and not
less than two years nor more than
seven years from the declaration of
intention, he must present to a court
a petition asking to be admitted to
citizenship. The petition must be
in duplicate and must state for the
third time all the information con
cerning himself that was given the
immigration bureau, and if married,
the alien must give his wife's name,
her native country, and the name,
age. place of birth and place ot resi
dence of each living child. The
wife's age is not required.
It has been customary for a pro
spective citizen, after he has lived
here the required number of years,
to take his two witnesses, go to the
court and usually in less than fifteen
minutes all the necessary steps have
been taken, the alien is sworn to
allegiance and is pronounced a good
citizen.
Now, however, the petition must
be filed and notice ot it posted in a
a public place for ninety days before
the'alien is admitted. The courts
have been accustomed to admit for
eigners to citizenship whenever the
matter was brought before them.
Now there must be certain days de
signated.
The witnesses of the applicant
may be served with subpoenas un
der the new law, and their atten
dance in court compelled.
IMo person can be admitted to
citizenship within thirty days pre
cidingany general election In the
district over which the court has
jurisdiction. No alien will be al
lowed to become a citizeu who can
not speak the English language, un
less physically disabled.
The new law provides that the
penalty for forging or counterfeiting
a certificate of citizenship shall be
imprisonment for not more than ten
years, or by a fine not to exceed
$10,000. It is provided that the
blank forms furnished by the immi
gration and naturalization bureau
must not become destroyed if they
become defaced, but must be re
turned to the bureau, and the clerk
of any court will be taxed $50 for
each blank form tor which he can
not account If any person has
unlawfully in his possession a blank
certificate of citizenship he may be
imprisoned at hard labor for not
more than five years, or fined not
more than Jft.ooo.
The fees for admission are reduced
from $6 to $5, and halt of this must
be turned over to the federal gov
ernment. Any court of record that has a
seal, a clerk and jurisdiction in ac
tions in which the amount in contro
versy is unlimited has authority to
admit aliens to citizenship under the
new law.

When you see a corps ot surveyors
laying out an electric line route.it
doesn't mean an electric line route,
it doesn't mean an electric motor
line immediately, nor does it mean
one in the near future when the
right-of-way is secured. It takes
considerable money to build such a
line, which frequently goes into a
receiver's hands. We doubt if an
electric line from Portland to Salem
would pay for years to come. It is
even doubtful if capitalists seriously
contemplate invading sparsely set
tled regions and risking their money

Sage rats have about taken Crook
county. The rodents are swarming
over the county by the thousands.
Some years ago they bad a plague
like this in Garfield county, Wash
ington and $20,000 expended in de
stroying them, and according to the
Moro Observer the following method
was used; Deep furrows were plowed
around each field, and in this fur
row poisoned grain was placed.
The rats would follow the furrow,
eating the grain and dying in the
furrow, and other rats would eat
the dead bodies, which caused the
appearance of a disease among the
rats which finally destroyed them
The disease, they stated was caused
by the rats eating the dead bodies
lying in the furrows, and once start
ed, it spread and soon wiped out
the rats.
The bankruptcy law has been
amended making the salaries of
traveling salesmen preferred claims
on the estates of employers for three
months preceding bankruptcy, not
exceeding $300. There are nearly
500,000 traveling salesmen in the
United States today, and the fact
that they travel is probably taken
into consideration in the amend
ment, as they are not at home to
look after their own interests first
hand.

A Chicago special says that
in its annual report, just pul
lished.bythe Commercial National
Bank, aud maJe "P from letters re
ceived from leading bankers in prac
tically all cities in the United States,
financial and general business con
ditions throughout the couutry are
shown to be excellent. The figures
on the crops, as shown in this report
are generally higher than those in
the government report issued Aug
ust 10. The report on the financial
outlook is decidedly encouraging.
"With the exception of some of
the smaller cities m the Middle
West," says the report, "banks
tnrougnout me wuntry report a
strong, active and healthy demand
for money at firm rates. While
there is no prospect ot recession in
interest rate, money is and probab
ly will continue to be abundant for
legitimate business needs. The ex
pected stringency at crop moving
time has been largely discounted in
the West by the fact that the banks
generally have husbanded their re
sources, maiutaiued strong reserves
and are entering the full not only
with large cash resources but with
heavy maturities ot purchased paper.
This gives them an element ot
strength that they have not hereto
fore possessed and will provide them
abundant means to meet the crop
demands with practically no borrow,
ing aud with but slight reductions
in their Eastern and Chicago bal
ances. Banks'm Pacific Coast cities

large lenders in the r?ast. In San
Francisco there is great activity and
the volume of business is satisfac
tory. Banks are full of money and
deposits are larger than at the time
of the fire." Concerning the crops
the report says in part: "The wheat
crop ot 1906 will be among the
largest and best ever produced
The crop is now practically out of
danger. The fifteen wheatgrowing
states covered by this report pro
duced last year 547.522,349 bushels.
They should produce this year 607
205,000, and the total wheat crop
of the United States should approx
imate 769.000,000 bushels. The
yield of soft winter wheat is large
quality the finest and movement
has begun early and all grains are
now nearly or qu'te on an export
basis, with the tendency ol prices
downward, a large export business
may be expected. In what may be
termed the northern zone of the
corn belt, embracing the northern
part of Indiana and Illinois, allot
Iowa and Nebraska, Northern Mis
souri and portions of Kansas, the
corn crop is lareand unusually
promising, except in Southern Iowa,
where the condition is spotted and
rain needed. In the southern zone
of the same belt, embracing South
ern and Central Indiana and Illi
nois, parts of Misso and Kansas,
the crop has been affected by dry
weather and is backward. The
prospect is quite discouraging unless
rain comes shortly. We estimate
the total corn crop at 2.850,000,000
bushels." The report says that the
oats crop will be fair to good and
about one per cent less than last
year. The barky yield is esttimat
ed at 143.400,000 bushels. The
average condition of rye is about
three per cent better than in 1905
The report deals ato with the rail
road business, the iron and steel in
dustrv and the packing industry,
.v.. an excellent condition
in all of them.

The Cash Value of a Man.
The immigration commission of a
Western railroad recently applied to
an Eastern traffic-manager for
special "homeseekers excursion"
rates to enable farmers to go out and '
look at his Western lands.
"I won't help you a cent's worth,"
said the Easterner, emphatically.
"Every farmer you take off our lines
makes a dead loss to us of at least a
thousand dollars a year."
The estimate may have been a
large one in the West each new
settler is expected to add three hun
dred dollars a year to the income of
the railway, but it is of interest as
illustrating the fact that every one
of us, no matter how he may es
teem his own worth to his own com
munity or to society in general, has
a value to his fellows that can be
figured in dollars and cents. What
he produces others consume, and
what he consumes others produce.
Prosperity is a mutual affair.
Especially is this so between the
farmer and the railroad or between
tlie railroad and every other man.
What each new settler produces the
road must haul to market; aud all
his machinery, all his clothing, all
his fuel, all that his own land does
not give him, the road must bring.
The true science of transportation
is based on the knowledge of mutual
dependence, and the problem the
rate regulator must solve is that of
enabling the farmer to get the most
wares into the best paying market,
maintaining a profitable rate on the
carriage and on the return haul of
what his surplus buys.
It would be an interesting problem
for some readers of The Companion
to figure out their own cash value to
the road- which serves them, and to
their fellows, and thus determine
whether they are giving as much
as they receive. Ilappiuess is not
a matter of dollars and cents, but
much comfort is begotten of a prop
er sharing of prosperity. Youth's
Companion.
Robert Leigh ton, the well-known
pool man ot Portland, has notified
Secretary Durbiu of the state board
of agriculture that he has authentic
information that 150 additional run
ning horses will be sent to Salem I

state fair. Mr. Leightou telegraph

runners on the Pacific coast aud this

Several rich ranches on Muddy
Creek, near Baker City, were devas
tated last week by a hailstorm.
One ranchman who expected to
have 3,000 bushels of wheat has cut
what is left for hay. He had about
500 boxes of apples and will not
have one box left. All fruit was
bruised or knocked from thej trees.
The hail was piled six inches deep
on the ground. The storm covered
