Bourne Submits Report In a bnal report submitted to Congress, the Bourne Committee on Railway Mail Pay has recom- nieuded enactment ot a law substi tuting space for weight as a basis of railway mail compensation and has recommended rates that will yeild tbe railroad companies a revenue slightly less than the average reve nue in each instance being comput ed on a car-mile basis. It is esti mated that this will result in increas ing tbe compensation of the rail roads about $3,000,000 per annum, or sligbly less than 5 per ceut. The railroads contended that they were underpaid $15,000,000 per year. F'ormei Senator Jonathan Bourne Chairman of the Committee, took occasion in submitting the report to call attention to the fact that Former Postmaster General Hitch cock had urgently recommended enaction of a bill for railway mail pay which he later abandoned a s unwise, and t h e P o s t Of- Office Department, in two adminis trations,has advocated lour different plans for compensating the rail toad. Discussing tbe delay in filing the report, Mr. Bourne says: "W hile I recognized the desir ability of an expeditious conclusion to our work, I believed it more im- oortant that we should do our work thoroughly than that we do it quickly. I should regret extremely und he deeply humilated if our in vestigation bad resulted, as did that of the Post Office Department, in our changiug our attitude three times and advocating four radically different measures We should cer tainly forfeit all claim to the con fidence of Congress if we presented such a record ot vacillation as did the Department If, in our anxiety to be expeditious, we had repudi ated three plans we bad evolved upon what theory could we expect Congress to believe that we would for any considerable length of tune, continue to advocate any new plan we might recommend?"

Success is hound to come to the farmer who plans while he plows. No civilization has ever advanced beyond its agricultural development. No farmer is successful who thinks more of his barn than he does of his home. The development of the farmer himself must precede the full de velopment of the ground he tills. al Forests was $ 2 , 433 , 910 . This was made up of $ 1 , 242,300 from the sale of timber, $ 996,457 from graz ing, and tbe balauce, $ 195 , 149 , from special uses of water powers. Of this amount, 25 per ceDt is to be paid into the State Treasuries for schools and roads. An additional 10 per cent ia expended by the Forest Service for the construction of roads within the Forests, which have al ready been approved by the For ester.

We A PARABLE Said Christ our Lord, “ I will go and see How the men, my brethern, believe in me.” He passed not again through the gate of birth, But made himself known to the children of earth. Then said the chief priests, and rulers, and kings, “ Behold, now, the Giver of all good things; Go to, let us welcome with pomp and state Him who alone is mighty and great.” With carpets o f gold the ground they spread Wherever the Son of Man should tread, And in palace-chambers lofty and rare They lodged Him, and served him with kingly fare. Great organs surged through arches dim Their jubilant floods in praise of him; And in church, and palace, and judgment-hall, He saw his own image high over all. But still, wherever his steps they led, The Lord in sorrow bent his head, And from under the heavy foundation-stones, The son of Mary heard bitter groans. And in church, and palace, and judgment-hall, He marked great fissures that rent the wall, And opened wider and yet more wide As the living foundation heaved and sighed. “ Have ye founded your thrones and altars, then, On the bodies and souls of living men? And think ye that building shall still endure, Which shelters the noble and crushes the poor? With gates of silver and bars of gold Ye have fenced my sheep from their Father’s fold; I have heard the dropping of their tears In heaven these eighteen hundred years.” “ 0 Lord and Master, not ours the guilt, We build but as our fathers built; Behold thine images, how they stand, Sovereign and sole, through all our land. Our task is hard,—with sword and flame To hold thine earth forever the same, And with sharp crooks of steel to keep Still, as thou leftest them, thy sheep.” Then Christ sought out an artisan, A low-browed, stunted, haggard man, And a motherless girl whose fingers thin Pushed from her faintly want and sin. These set he in the midst o f them, And as they drew back their garment-hem, For fear o f defilement, “ Lo, here,” said he. “ The image ye have made of me!” —James Russell Lowell. think that any one who has seen States Department of Agriculture the pamphet is likely to agree wiih today gave out the following esti us; but here is State Printer Harris' mates of Oregon crops for 19 13 : view of the matter, just received: Corn: 21,000 acres, 598,000 bush els, $419,000 farm value.

Abagail Scott Duniway is not a Prohibitionist, and at the Progres sive Luncheon held in Portland,she expressed hersell, in part, as fol lows: "Some people say: ’ Dosen’t God prohibit everything that is evil? Aren't tbe Ten Commandments full of prohibition'?' Yes, the Ten Com mandments say: ‘ Thou shalt not steal,’ but the Ten Commandments do not hide away in the bowels of tbe eatth every thing that man can steal On the contrary the Ten Commandments place temptation in your way and mine, and say to us: ’resist or take the consequences.’ The Ten Commandments include, ‘ Thou Shall not K ill,' but you shall not take everybody and shut them in the penitentiary to prevent it be cause now and then some persoD is killed. What you want lo do is to place all the safeguards of protec tion you can around every individ ual, however high or low, rich or poor, teaching him that who con quereth himself, taketh a city. We can never have temperance in its truest sense until we have raised men and women who are willing to abide by the ruie of self protection. If we are to cute the evil of intem perance, let us be rational, let us be reasonable. When a man becomes afflicted with tbe small-pox,we send him to the pest house and pul him in quarantine; but we don’ t put all the rest of the population in quaran tine with him. We stay on the outside and do all we can to cure or at least relieve the suffering ol the man who is afflicted. Just so with tbe drunkard who hasn’t stamina enough to control himself. Let us take charge ot him, but let us not compel everybody else to go to the pest-house because he must. Let us not compel all the men in the land to carry crutches because now and then one walks lame. That is not philosophy, that is not common sense, and I speak the convictions that come to me through long ex perience. «■ -»•>- Compiled by State Bureau o f Industries and Statistics The Snake river is to be b rid g ed at Adrian.
