"Go to work and build up the country, for tho cities would Btaryo to death if it were not for tho country," said Mr. Hill at the spike driving. "Nations that havo neglected tho cultivation of tho soil have faded from the face of tho earth. Thero is no reason why Central Oregon should not produce enormous wealth. We have a good deal of faith in it. Wo believe if this soil is properly cared for, if it is properly under stood and fair justice done to it, it will make a happy home for thousands and millions of people. I wish you all Godspeed and every particle of luck and prosperity that can come to you." Portland will raise money to aid in tho operation of two dem onstration farms in Central Ore gon. The railroads have pledged $5,000, Portland business men will give $2,000 and Crook county will raise by taxation $3,000. One farm will bo established in dry farming country and the other in an irrigated district. A local committee has been named to secure the funds and a dinner will bo held at the Commercial Club October 18, when plans will bo made. On the train relum ing from the golden spike driving at Bend during the past week, a considerable sum was subscribed by Portland excursionists. Harrisburg women have turned their attention to practical things and will hold a potato carnival October 18 and 19. This, it is promised, will be "An exhibition of painstaking potato culture por traying all the progressive meth ods of planting, peeling and pre paring the ever palatable potato. " Women are ofiicials of the show. Agricultural possibilities of Oregon arc shown by an inter esting comparison just made by President Howard Elliott of the Northern Pacific Railway of tho area of this state with that of Denmark, Holland, Belgium, Al- aace-Loraine, Luxemburg, Switz erland and tho state of Maine. Combined, they havo 05,022 square miles, while Oregon has 9G.030. On the other hand, the combined population of these countries is 21,59 1,089, while Ore gon nas out wz,ii)'o. me con clusion is that this state has as great agricultural resources as tho above group and may very likely equal it in population when its lands arc properly tilled.

At a glance I was impressed that tho tailor that made Morgan's clothes had not made mine. His eyes are like 'brands, in so far that they are piercing, but they differ greatly as one of them seems to be tilted a little up and to ono side, suggesting possibly a strain from trying to look to the top of the pile. To discuss Mr. Morgan's fea tures without mentioning his nose would be like Bill Sterritt's review of one of Shakespeare's plays that Edwin Booth put on in tho early days of Texas. Ster ritt wrote two nowspaper pages about the play and never men tioned Booth's name from begin ning to end. But Mr. Morgan's features all suggest pay-dirt. His mouth, chin and cheek-bones all denote a dash and firmness that must be necessary in some of his business affairs. While I was making Mr. Mor gan's sketch, that is reproduced here, ho saw mo and instantly detected what my game was not withstanding that his attontion was riveted on tho bidding for tho Cleveland bouds. But I soon no- richly made clothes. One instinctively recalls the story of Gales, Morgan and the Steel Board when he looks in I Morgan's eyes. That sort of a wild excitable expression of the eyes, in Morgan s case, makes it very easy to understand what happened when Mr. Gates went to Mr. Morgan's office to protest because it was he, Morgan, that kept Gates' name off from the Steel Board. Mr. Gates asked him in a miid l voice if this was true. Mr. Mor gan rising from his chair said: "Yes, Mr. Gates, it is true. I am the man -who is keeping you off." Mr. Gates asked why and Mr. Morgan answered; "On account of your reputation, Sir." Gates broke out into sarcastic laughter asking Mr. Morgan if lie, Gates, had ever done any thing worse than Morgan. "On ly," he added, "you have done your stunts behind closed doors and I have done mine in the open." As Mr. Morgan took his hat from the table and walked out of the room he said: "Mr. Gates, that is what doors are for to be kept closed." So when you see the snap of Morgan's eyes you realize the kind of man who would have the nerve to tell John W. Gates what doors are for. Forty years ago the cartoons of Thomas Nast disrupted the most powerful and vicious political ma chine the country has ever known and sent Boss Tweed lo prison.

THE GRAN0E MEETING. (Crowded out last week.) The Rye Grass and Valley View Grangers of Harney county held a public meeting at Locher's hall Thursday evening. This meet- . nig was presided over hy Thos. Raycraft, Grand Master of Valley View Grage and was called for the purpose of bringing the far mers of Harney county in closer touch with the Grange work. The Grange song "Plow, Spade and Hoe," was first on the pro gram and was enjoyed by all. State Organizer Gekler, of La Grande, Ore., gave a fine address on "Co-operation." He gave a brief history of organization of the Grange, The leal foundation of all Grange work is education, the great resources of this coun try nro brought forth by co-opera tion. Mr. Gekler said he would like to organize a Grange in Burns before leaving. Mrs. Lo May, of Burns recited ticed that ho had an advantage a selection entitled, "Archie over the ordinary man who might Dean," which brought down the house. become cmbarassed at being sketched, and tho advantage was this, that ho could not show any embarassment as to turning red der in his face than its natural shade. Thero was no outward sign as to facial features that ho Mr. Fred Crump, of Rye Grass Grange gavo a very fine talk on "Organization." Mr. Huntly, lecturer of Valley View Grange gave a very interesting talk on "Local Grange Work." Miss of men and measures he believed to be inimical to the best interests of the American people have made him the logical successor of the great Nast Against fraud, cor ruption, vice, pretense and every force that menaces the rights and morals of the people he has waged unrelenting war. In his lighter moods he has made the nation laugh with his kindly satire or brush away the tears when his fine sympathy took the form of pathos. Mr. Davenport today wields more power for good than any living artist His work demon strates how strong the influence of his particular branch of art may become. as tne iNew lorn Times re marks "His views have influenced public affairs and politics." No other living artist or author has met and portrayed so many emi nent persons during the past twenty years, in Europe as well as America. Consequently his reminiscences of interviews with distinguished people he has met and sketched are a notable con tribution to modern journalism In securing the remarkable se ries Men I Have Sketched, by Homer Davenport The Times Herald congratulates itself and its readers. In connection there with we will conduct a contest that is designed to gratify the de sire of years on the part of Mr. Davenport. Himself like many other famous artists, self edu cated, he realizes that in every community there is to be found artistic talent of a superior order which should be encouraged and given proper opportunity. The Times-Herald drawing con test which is announced in anoth er column is calculated to offer this needed spur to the embryo Nasts and Davenports and we predict that it will prove of im mense public interest and benefit.
