It la well to note that more than
expected Interest is being manifested
in the O. W. R. & N. company'
Corn Show, wbion fa to be held in
Pendleton nexftnontb. The company
is introducing a campaign of eduoa
tion to the farmer which Boqnaialfl
him with. the pioblem of diversified
production on big land instead of tbe
one-crop system as now practiced to
the detriment not only of himself bat
to tbe community in wbiob be re
rides. Corn exneita have sbown that

tion with wheat raisingalmost dou

when fed to hogs and oat tie.
The blare of trumpet wbioh is
sounding tbe return of Mr. Worcester
from tbe Philippines is so muob in
tone with that of Harry Lane Wilson
that one is apt to become confused,
bnt not to tbe extent of not recogniz
ing tbe sensible aonmen of profound
judgment exeroised by tbe adminis
tration. It will soon be vale to Mr.
Worcester, as it was fare-you-well
with Mr. Harry Lane Wilson's diplo
matio oareer.
What will tbe Oregonian and Car
toonist Reynolds have to work on after
tbe administration gets tbroogb with
Huerta and Mexioo, ia the wonder of
the average reader. Jaet wbat the
Oregonian would advise in settling
tbe Mexioan question is bard to dis
cern. It bas been on every side of the
question since Wilson went into office,
and so far bas signally fatled to show
any one where it is "at."
The stock of tbe regional banks of
the new currency system will be
owned try the putlio, and regional
banks will be controlled by tbe gov
ernment. The senate banking oom
mHtee at Washington incorporated

Tbe tail of tbe great Eastern storm
of last week is lashing us, but the
lashings are tempered with the mild

suffering than oar brothers to tbe

The interstate commerce oommia
Hion's order teduoing express rates was
again extended to February 1, to give
the companies more time to arrange

effective on December 1 and bas been
postponed once before.
The war department at Washington
bas placed at the 'disposal of the in
terior department a military force
siiindect to handle tbe threatened
outbreak of Indians on tbe Navajo
reserve. Who said the red man bad
quit fighting?
The Massachusetts reputlioana pot
op two eo-oalled republicans for the
governorship with tbe idea, perhaps
that they were as good as one demo
erst. They got fooled. One was a
bull mooser and tbe other a progress

hoping Huerta will Ret so short of
money as to be compelled to get out
without the help of U. S. soldiers.
Roosovelt will probably have all
the delegates from the South and Cen

tionai republican convention
of the Desperate and Winning
Chances Mike Kelly Took.
Hugh S. Fullerton, the baseball writ
er for the American Magazine, .tells
a story about Mike Kelly, the fa
mous player of Boston and Chicago, n
generation ago, as follows:
"I believe tbe most desperate and
brilliant bit pf base running 1 ever
witnessed and the climax of taking
chances was by Kelly. The score was
a tie late In tbe game. Runners were
on second ana tuira Dares, one out,
and the opposing lufleld was drawn
in to cut off the runner from the plate.
"Kelly was the man on second. As
the ball was pitched Kelly was on a
run at top speed toward third. The
ball was hit sharply to the shortstop,
who scooped it perfectly and threw
home. The runner, going from third
slid desperately toward the plate,
where the catcher was waiting. Kelly
had rounded third base at top speed
and was coming up the path behind
the other runner, screeching "Look out
for Keif at the top of his voice.
"As the runner from third slid be
hind the plate, trying to get past the
catcher, he was tagged out, but before
the catcher could touch hlui and dire
back to protect the plate Kelly slid in
front of the rubber, dodged under the
catcher and scored the winning run."
Stormy Cape Horn.
The waters of Cape Horn have never
been unvisited by , storms for more
than a week or two at a stretch within
the memory of man. Standing on the
outposts of the world, Cape Horn is
the meeting place of ocean currents of
very different temperature, from the
icy cold waters of the Antarctic drift
to the warmth of the Brazilian and
Peruvian return currents. The pre
vailing winds are from the northwest
and west, and these, coming from the
warm regions of the Pacific, condense
into fogs, which the sailors call "Cape
Horn blankets" and which are the
forerunners of storms. The extremely
low level to which the glaciers of
Tlcrra del Fuego descend, the per
petual congelation of the subsoil, tbe
mooting of conflicting winds at very
different temperatures, are all direct
or Indirect causes combining to make
this the most constantly stormy re
gion of the world.
