News from Washington intl tiiuten that Secretary of Agriculture James WIlHon will not remain in Tail's cabinet, but that Glfford Pln chot will take his place. Oregon will regret losing Wilson as the head of the department, as his long and faithful service has done much for this state as well as the entire nation. Time was, when the public laughed at the Idea of the agricultur al department being of any real ser vice to the farmers but during the lust few years especially sentiment has changed and by the various of ficials of the department are mow watched and depended upon by the Intelligent farmer folk everywhere. No other Industry has advanced in the last decado as much as that of farming, and the excellent work of Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has had more than a little to do with the phenomlnal progress made; In fact it may be truthfully said that he nas done more tor the nation than any other cabinet of ficer. Ills successor, Glfford Plnchot.is a brilliant and able man and at the head of the forestry department has made a record for himself, but many have their doubts as to his fitness for the Important and re sponsible position of Socretary of Agriculture ' The Thlrd-Trans-Mlssouri Dry Farming congress will be held in Cheyene, Wyoming on February 23, 24 and 25 and will be a convention Hon of international importance. Statistics show that when the irri gatlon water has all been impound ed it can be placed on only one-ninth of the available and well located agricutural land In the United States and so while all those sections which can be Irrigated are hustling to put the water on the land, there Is nothing for the less fortunate places to do but to study out the most satisfactory method of farming without water. WILL NOT BE OVERDONE. The dairy Industry of Oregon has Increased from $5,000,000 per year to 117,000,000 within flvo years, and many dairymen are bo moaning the thought that dairy in dustry will soon be overdone but the Increase Is not as rapid as the demand from sections where th Industry is not Increasing. We are making tome of the flneBt cheese In the world, yet we are letting outside countries ship cheese to the United States, and pot until we have stopped all importation can we talk of reaching the profitable limit of our production. At the present time the amount of cheese Imported Into the United States Is Increasing rapidly. During the six years from 1900 to 1906, Inclusive, the value of Imports Increased from $1,946- 033 to $3,875,161. Italy and Switzerland supplied the bulk of this cheese most of the remaluder com lug from France and Holland. The best known of the varieties of cheese Imported were the Pvmesuit and Oorgonzola from Italy, the Em men'nl imm Swl'.irrlnal the Ki puefort. Camenbert and Brie from France, and the Edam from Holland The growing demand for cheese Is not, however, confined to these well- known varieties, much Interest be' Ing manifested in many kinds as yet of very little commercial I niport am-e, but highly esteemed In the lo calltlet where produced.

Hitchcock, who so ably managed the Taft ' campaign has been selected for the office of Post master General in tho new Taft cab! net. Hitchcock knows all about the postofflce business as well as he knows politics, as he has served as First Assistant and Acting Postmas ter General for several years. The appointment Is favorably received by the people. Despite the gibes of some of the Oregon papers, Senator Jonathan Bourne seems to be able to bold his own and continues to hobnob with Taft and other prominent states' men. President elect Taft was I guest of Bourne's at a dinner the other evening at Hot Springs. The city editors of the Roseburg papers are having a lovely time these days. The Review styles the News man an ignoramus, and the latter retaliates by calling the Re view man a Jackass. Wonder if either of luem are mistaken.
