Tbe summer outing has become an established institution with the American people. Tbe American business man runs at high tension (or eleven months or mure of the twelve, and It baa become the fash ion to adopt some form of tbe sum mer outing as a force gathered for new spurt in high finance or in bus iness or political manipulation. The ashore, especially In tbe effete east, gets Its share of the outers, but for tbe westerner the call of tbe wild Is Bounded when there Is respite from business caret. Thousands are now enjoying the annual outing by automobile trips through tbe country, snd every year tbla form of vacation time employ ment will become more and more popular. Improve roads, added at tractions and present attraction made more accessible to the passing tourist, will serve to popularlre this form of outing. But with all the outing de line, and all the opportunities to partake ef prepare soups, canned chicken, and the like, what outer who has ver been up acainHt the real thing will forget the savory odor of the baked benns when the cover waa lift d from the Dutch oven, or the ap petizing taste of the venison roast that had spun over the lied of coals aa It twisted and untwisted the raw bide throng by which It was sus pended? Or the trout, fresh from the stream, fried crisp and brown, easoned with cinders mayhap, but BeverthelesH the best thins ever eaten? It Is that such outings as this may not live In memory alone, but may be made avullable with little effort that tbe Game and Fish Protective association has undertaken to return to the Josephine hills all of their pristine beauty and glory. It ia for the enjoyment of the outer with the real red blood that made pioneers and explorers and discoverers that the association will seek to preserve the wilderness and tbe wilderness life. within hla own rights, waa qtruck by an auto, tbe pony hurled upon Its side, cut and bruised and done Irre parable Injury, and the boy only saved from serious harm by clinging to the auto till It could be brought to a standstill.

She has shown her desire to assist in bringing better business conditions and in hastening the building of tbe new railroad by activity in raising the bonus that the promoters and the backers of the project have demanded. There was no delay by the people of the coast city In meeting the obligation that bad been placed upon them, and tbe 1260,000 that was asked Is now practically all raised while Grants Pass ia still sucking its thumb over tbe raising of only $100,000, and has made no effort toward doing Its part. Under date of August 1st, Judge John L. Chllds. of Crescent City, writes as follows: "The subscription to the railroad bonus In Del Norte county up to noon today amounts to the sum of $196,650. Hope that Grants Pass Is doing its part." Over the long distance telephone wire Judge Chllds says that the bonus there will reach tbe required $250,000, and he wants to know why Grants Pass has not made equal pro gress. This city is asked to raise but $100,000 as against two and one balf times as much by tbe much smaller city at the coast end of the line. This amount should have been pledeed before now, in which event the people here would have been In a position to ask that the company make haste to come through with its end of the bargain. There Is no question about the willingness of the people to pledge $100,000 to be paid when the road Is built through to the coast, and the quicker they are solicited the better it will be for the success of the project. This city should not be In a position where It can be charged with delaying the game. barely 4 per cent of the total meat supply. When we compare this small consumption of mutton with that of England, a very striking contrast Is presented. "Our small consumption no doubt Is mainly attributable to the exceed ingly cheap and abundant supplies of beef and pork which have prevailed In former years, thus rending It un necessary to look elsewhere fcr meat. But the day of cheap meat Is past and the present market prices of food anlmala point to the fact that It Is becoming more and more Imper tlve that every available source of our mei4 supply should be carefully developed. Hence tbe necessity for more sheep farming." f7 DOING EFFECTIVE WORK. The Fish and Game Protective as sociation has taken bold of the pro ject of creating the world's greatest playground and at the same time solving some of the economic prob lems of the age with an enthusiasm that will surely spell success. Tbe officers ard members of the associa tion are not approaching their sub ject with any degree of timidity, but are laying the base along extensive 1 lines. They are educating the pub-' He at the aame time that they are developing the Idea they have in : mind. By novel methods they show the value of the game animal and tbe necessity for protectiLg him from his enemies. But meantime they are up and doing, and are ac complishing results. Their activity extends over only a short period as j yet, but they have laid the ground ' work for a great undertaking and ' have commenced the practical work 1 of restocking the forests and tbe streams. First the liberating of i 180.000 trout fry In the county 1 streams, with a like number to be liberated next week, proves the ef fective work which they have done along that line. They have likewise made arrangements for the liberating i of many varieties of game birds this 1 season, these to be shipped from the state game farm at Corvallis.

Americans are the biggest meat eaterB in the world. They beat Johnny Bull, with all bis legends about the beef of old England. Moreover they eat more beef per capita than the British do. Figures for meat eating In . 1909. Just made public by the Bureau of Animal Industry, of the department of Agriculture, show that the per capita consumption of meat for that year In the United States, was 162.20 pounds, divided as follows (fractions omitted): Beef, 80 pounds; veal, 7; pork, 67; mutton and lamb, f; goat meat. .13.
