We lake great pleasure lit announcing that we arc now prepared to make Ladles Suits and Coats, as well as Mens. We have secured the services of a tailor who has had years of experience in the art and study of flue tailoring. When you order a suit from us you know that you are going to get the goods, style and workmanship. When you order a suit thru a mail-order house, you don't know just what you arc going to get; you don't sec the goods and the work is done by machinery and when the suit is received in most cases alterations are necessary be fore you can wear it. You save time and money and we guar antee you satisfaction when you order thru our store. Williams-Zoglmann Clothing Company Leading Clothiers - - High Grade. Tailoring ti' i . - ...I - ii-.... i. i.

Joe Teal are both spoken of as possibilities for Secretary of the Interior in the Wilson cabinet. Either would be a credit and an honor to the west. It has been a case of "catch as catch can" in the daily papers recently as to whether Wilson or Roosevelt had carried California. It is such a beautiful mix that we have forgotten which had it last One day one is reported ahead and the next the other fellow has it. The work of President Kerr of the Agricultural College in se curing federal aid in the advance ment of agriculture in this state should receive just recognition from the people and the legisla ture will no doubt take advan tage of the opportunity and act accordingly. to take its place high up in the list where it properly belongs. This matter is of such impor tance that it should bo given special study and investigation. Telegram. Cnnners Getting Scarce Improvement in the quality of the cattle produced in this coun try, and particularly in the west, has been going on slowly but surely for years. An evidence of this is seen in the great scar city of canning stock nil season. For many years a good share of the cattle coming from the west and southwest were sold to the packers as canners but packers have been unable to get what canning cattle they needed dur ing the past summer altho they have been paying the highest price ever known for this class HIGH SCHOOL COURSE IN AGRICULTURE Concluded I'ioiii 1 list 1'iiKc) 11.

Agronomy VII (Soil Fer- Getting people on to the land, actual settlers and actual produc ers, is the greatest problem that Oregon has before it today. The land is here and it is of a quality that commends itself. But we find that while the cities and towns are growing in population, the growth of the country by no means keeps pace with them. We have heretofore called at tention to these facts. We do not believe there is a more impor tant question before the public and one which is apparently so little understood. There arc very definite emigration move ments in other directions. Cana da has been getting a yery fine body of American settler, preci sely the class that would be de Birable here, the South is get ting some of them, and others are actually going to New York State under the inducements offered them. It is apparent that the question before us is something more than superficial. If it were something on the surface it would be very easy of solution. Just precisely Vhatitisand how to meet it is the question before the public and it should receive serious con sideration. So long as such land as is bought is often bought sole ly for speculative purposes and not by men who propose to farm it, we are not getting very far ahead. What is needed is that ,'theland be bought by people who will live upon it and utilize it for productive purposes. In this -way the backbone of tho stale will bo strengthened and Oregon, in a productive sense, will begin tilitV.) Elective senior year, first J. C.

The Eagle says: A voluminous protest coming from Prairie City, John Dny and Canyon City, is being sent into the government, regarding tho antiquated mnil service given the county. The government, throu gh the Forest service, appropri ated about 55 per cent of the to tal area in acres of tho county nnd collects a toll for its use, which ttie people pay without complaint. In return the ieoplo get n sack of garden seed bi-annually and n mnil service Hint would be a dis grace to the land of Hottentots. The people are in fnvor of the government supervision of 55 per cent of its area and so was ex pressed by tho stockgrowers' association last week, but they want some consideration. They pay in thousands of dollars and draw out a sack of seeds that grow sometimes, lne govern ment contracted with the Sump tor Valley railroad to haul the mail as far as Austin. It then bent down the stago company to starvation wages to haul it from Austin, paralleling the railroad, to Inland points. Because Uie railroad company nnd stage com pany do not ngree on the charges for hauling the mail from Austin to the terminus of the road the mail is dumped off at Austin and the stage instead of getting it at Prairio City, where it should, is compelled to go over tho moun tain after it. Instead of getting mnil at night it is held up until the following day. If such ad ministration of the postal depart ment was credited to Turkey it would be a surprise, and when it comes from a government thnt makes a nois about the efficiency of its service it is n revelation.
