The general patiger ageuts of all the different roads unite in the belief that we are to have an espec ially large immigration, and urge not ouly the commercial and indus trial bodies of the state, but all citi zens, to bear in mind that these rates will continue until April 30th, nd it is advisable for them to see their station tiReim, and get the i exact facts, ami write to acquain tances, friend's and relatives in the older states. These rates have been given on several occasions in these columns, but it is well to repeat the fact that tickets from Kansas City and all Missouri river points, St. Paul and all that portion of the Northwest, including the Dakotas, as well as Nebraska, Kansas, por tions of Oklahoma, Missouri and Iowa, can te bought to almost any point in Oregon for fay, from St. Louis for $30; from Chicago for $33 and from New York for fto.

In all the fruit belts of the state, many thousands of additional acres are being put into orchards; in lact there is prosperity on all sides. The appropriations by the govern ment for water-way improvements are especially liberal. Railroad building is under actual operation in a good many districts, and all pcrsous who come to this state, either on the colonist rates or tour ists rates which follow, w ill find all of Oregon both inviting andprepm-sessing. The commercial organizations are more active than ever before, but this does not excuse those that are sleeping on their rights aud each and every one that is not al ready active should get busy Obituary. The following clipping from a Dot, Wash., paper was scut to this office last Saturday: "Joseph V. Woods was born in Westboro, Mass., June 18, 1813, died February ao, 1907;' aged 93 years and 8 mouths. In 1S36 the subject of this sketch, then residing in Nantucket, shipped on board a whaler, the Charles and Henry, came round the horn and followed whaling for six years. Ou May t, 1842, he entered the Columbia river and upon arriving at Oregon City decided to make that place his home. He resided there two years when he removed to Washington county, Oregon. In 184s he was married to Martha S. White, of Kngland. To them eight children were born, four of whom are living. They are, Alfred O., Sherman, Mrs. F. M. Powers and Mrs. Mary K. Towers. Three oi the children died in infancy and one, Grace Paine, died at the age of 17 years. Mr. Woods came with his family to Klickatat county, Washington, in the spring of i88j aim 1 II.

All the irrigated districts of the state are receiving many home seekers, and the valleys and more thickly settled sections are enter taining a good many visitors who are looking for investments of every possible character, The demand for building mater ial of all kinds is unprecedented One brick manufacturer reports or ders exceeding those of last year at WILL CAUSE A PANIC SO SAYS PRESIDENT STICKNEY Ha PreeicteThat HeetHe Legialatten Will Bankrupt Railreae'a m4 Cauee Tremendous Panle. A Washington, D. C, dispatch ol the uthsays Uat A. B. Stick- uey, president ol the Chicago Great Western Railroad company, who has just arrived at the national cap ital, in a 11 interview discussing the railroad situation, said: "The people are now laying the louudation firm and strong for a tremendous panic. The crisis may not come for the next two years, but it will certainly come and will be more disastrous than the panic of 1 893 4. If the present railroad agitation is kept up, all the railroads are threatened with bankruptcy and in 1909 hundreds of thousands of men will be thrown out of work. The great unrest in the financial world is not due to the policy of President Roosevelt, but is brought about by 'hostile legislation by the various state legislatures, who have taken up the matter where the presi dent left off and seem vieiug' with each other in trying to reduce rates and make other regulations in re gard to the methods of conducting railroad business which are entire ly inconsistent with each other and the regulation of the federal gov ment. This has brought about a condition of affairs which threatens disaster in the immediate future. The rail toads are already finding the greatest difficulty in obtaining sufficient capital to complete the improvements now underway and to pay for additional rolling stock which has already been contracted for. A decrease in the average rates of only a mill per ton a mile, would wipe out all the dividends and a further decrease of a mill and a third of a mill per ton a mile would be equivalent to all the in terest on their bonds and other in debtedness. During the past six months the wages ot all employes, which constitute about 60 per cent of the operating expenses of the tailways, have been increased fully 10 per cent and unless railroad rates can be increased 10 per cent to cov er the increase of wages the leading railroads will be forced into bank ruptcy." Fads come for a day, blaze into glory and opulence and then fade away. It was not very long ago wheu the bicycle craze was at its height. People would have laughed if anyone had said it would not be for long. Factories started uneveiv where, and ereat numbers of machines were turned out upon an eager public which took them all and asked for more. Yet a great decrease has been made even since 1900. In igoothere were 31a factories. In 1905 there were but 101. Tbe trade of the United States with Cuba has doubled in the last ix vears. In 1900 Cuba shipped to the United States products val ued at ft 1, 000.000. and bought goods valued at $26,000,000. Last year Cuba shipped her products to this country to a value of $85,000,- 000, and bought of us $46,500,000 worth of goods. In 1906 the gain was still more notable because a state of civil war practically exist ed. To what is this growth due?

If all of the dairy farmers of a dis trict keep the same breed they not only attract buyers who are looking for cattle of that breed and thus ob tain better prices, but as the num ber ot breeders of pure breed stock of that kind becomes more numer ous, it becomes easier for each breeder to secure from his neighbor breeders, blood which my be need ed to remedy some weak point in his own terd.
