A 11 communications should be addressed to ( e PRESS Athena, Oregon ; ATHENA, AUGUST ft , .lim The Salem Journal, speaking of the pooling of wheat by farmers in the Will Hmette valley, says: "The farmer of the Rocky Pointneighborbood will meet at their local school house for the pur pose of forming a pool for their grain crop of 1903. The movement in this c junty for pooling crops was started at that place, and has been kept up for four years. At the time the movement was started, it was denounced by the press of Portland as impractical, and ridiculed as a farmers' trust. But the movement has extended to wool, mohair, hops and other products, and bids fair to spread and yet become a national movement of the producers, to get more equitable results for their labor." The Journal man is rather wide in .his swath of prediction. Pools are well enough at times when applied in a local sense and under certain- conditions. To national ize the method is entirely out nf the o,uestion, To begin with, there would be more wrangling in the management ; of a national pool, than is witnessed at ap average session of the Oregon legis lature. Every farmer in the land would at once swell up and strut about with that conscise air that so well becomes John Rockefeller, Clark yYood, and' Jim . Hill Rockefeller, proud in hfs owner ship of the earth; Wood as the owner of a Franklin county ranch that has the distinction of having furnished a herd of fuzzy wuzzics with sustenance over night; Hill in his possession of a few plug roads, Roys, don't make a nation al game of your pool; just localize it. The Portland Oregonian in a compi lation of pension statistics, finds that the payroll of pensioners on account of the war with Spain, now approximates $'.1,700,000. The war with Spain cm ployed fewer than 275,000. The losses by death fell short of 3000, and yet to day, whon the war with Spain is not jret flv yean past, the number of pension ers created by that war are estimated to exceed 11,250. The Civil war engaged the services of more than 2,313,000 men and of these only 1,727,000 survived the contest. Fwo years from the close of of the civil, war the disbursements for pensions were a little more than $29, 351,000 and this included the pensioners of the revolution1, the war of 1812, the Florida war and the war with Mexico. . The pension roll in I860 contained but 12ti,722 names, and the total number of pensioners created by all our ware, down to the outbreak of the Spanish war, and still on the roll, is estimated at ; 0110,000. If the list chargeable to the Spanish war grows in like proportion with the increase of the civil war pen sion roll in thirty-eight years, we may expect a pension list in 1937, due to the Spanish war alone, of 111,007, or about four pensioners to every ten men engag ed. As a result of the war' with Spain, there are now on hand about 45,000 ap plications; 10,500 have come in within the last six months. Nearly 8000 claims "have been rejected in a single year. The negroes even hi Boston have not yut all learned to recognize the true f Honda of their race, soliloquizes the Oregonian. When Booker T. Washing ton, the educator, on broad lines of util ity, of self-respect and of humanity of his race, is hissed by colored men, and a meeting planned in his honor is disturb ed by rioters of Bame cluss, the magni tude ofthe great work for-wbjeh he stands the emancipator of the negro through education looms up as a moun tain of difficulty that will take genera tions of the most persistent effort to sur mount. A very suggestivo text for a plain sermon, after order was restored upon this occasion, might have been found in tho words: "Marvel not that I say unto jou, you must be born again." Only through generations of education is the story of the civilization f a race unfolded. And after these generations shall have come anl gone and come a.;ain, the declaration, "Ye must be born again," will LoldTigainst the laggards who Lave fallen bchiod in the march of evolution This is true io all race of men, and it is perhaps only more notice able in the African race because of ill late start and the sharp comparisons in stituted by color and racial character istic.. . - . ..... . The actual mining of coal for commer cial purposes has been commenced at the Willow creek coal mines. Thia is what the people of Morrow county have been looking for. .The Heppner Gaa ette truthfully states that there can Le no better evidence of the existence of coal in these wines', than the fact that the coal is now in the bunkers and will be kept there in sufficient quantities to meet all demands. The mines are now opened up and there is plenty of coal tight now to supply the local demand. It is only a question of taking it out. Miss Sophie Hanks, now the happy bride of Marshall P. Wilder, the humor ist, says that she didn't feel obliged to got her father's consent to her marriage, because her father had remarried about two years ago without consulting her. That's reciprocity. Why does the government go experi menting around with all kinds of new fangled guns for the army, when it can get toy pistols at such low rates? The world's record for making an el liptical cloud of dust one mile around is now 59 3-5 seconds. It was made by an automobile in Indianapolis. " Independence Hall is in Philadelphia. It is about the only sign 'of independ ence that Pennsylvania has left, with Matt Quay in the box! ' If Australians had read the Kansas newspapers. during the lust ten years, they would not be subscribing money to the rainmakers. "John L. Sullivan's diamond belt is in pawn again," states an exchange. Then John himself is also once more "in soak." When Sir .Thomas' Lipton lunched with President Roosevelt he lifted a cup. But as usual,' he had to put it down again. Irish members of the British parlia ment have almost forgotten how to get themsolves put out of the house. In Found.
