GOOD ROADS AND DEFENSE.
Now that preparedness is one
nf" the main issues of the coun
try, the state of Oregon iB among
the first of tliecoast states where,
the proposition of, defense hits
hardest. Oregon has tj. consider-.
able coast line with many har
oorsin which an enemy might
easily land sufficient troops, to
suecessfully, overrun the country
and no considerable opposition
could be developed, because an
armed force til sufficient strength
to oppose the enemy could not be
n,vui with the necssarv rapidity
from one point to another. With!
efficient military force and ade
quate means of , transportation
the coast range would prove an
excellent barrier to invading
.'' , ; 'force.
; The mouth of the Colitmbia,iin
'. ?ts present state, is illy protected,
against a hostile fleet but with
proper forts and defenses placed
in advantageous positions little
y icould be feared from an advanc
" ingfoe. This fortification of the
Columbia is only one step in the
proper defenses of the . Cotot
-states. There must- be some

More or les3 through the manu

without the roads oyer which to
trji'nBnort them, the moving from

at a distant point, could never
have been accomplished unless
the rdads of Germany had been
so constructed that huge, loads
could pass ( continually to every
part of the country. Therein lay
the great factor of their, power.
-. To draw.a lesson from the ex

United States must have a. net

the defense of the country. The
logical nlace to begin these1 high'

the undertaking, naming eertain
roads as military, reads and main

-GOOD HORSES NEEDED
ON THE OREGON FARM
GoVertior Withycombe consid
ers that . parmarient injury is
likely to result from the move
ment to supplant the farni horse
with tractors on-. Oregon larms.
He so expresses himself on the
ivitaainn nf his recent iait to the
college, and gave the following
reasons for his belief ! 1 , 1
Tractors, used eontinuotfsly in
farming operation, ovef period
of years, will .ehange tne conai
tian of the soil; .
The cheapest pdwer on Umall
farms and for sliort hauls is good

the draft power of, the, present
type, combined with action and
soundness. This type is also
popular for fjity draft purposes,
and during my Visit to San Fran

of draft horses used iri that city.

It seems to me that the arart

(By I. Will Spillet )
Sn nilpntlv Hid he enter that
his coming did not. disturb, the
,aged rn.an who sat before tne
open fire in one cdrner of the
room. He had dncb. been tall,
land even yet he was a fine speci
men of a rhanf but his shoulders
were drooped with the weight of
many years. .His hair was long
and gray, like, the, thick beard
that covered ,the deep' Wrinkles
iOf his face. Despite the appear
ance of decrepid old age, there
seemed tostea). frohj the man an
air of masterful strengh, of pur
pose, and a destiny not yet ful
filled. . ... - ...
For a time the boy stood . look
ing at the .figiine Vjlth ftri expres
sion of devotiop and pride , wr it
ten upon His youthful counten
ance. Thenhe advanced aoftly
to fhe fire place. Ash advanced
the old inan gave no sign that he
vmHPrl the nresencs of the other.
but as the youth drew a stool to
the fire he spoke. ... .
"Well eon what Hick?" , ',
The boy ladtihed heartily?
"Didn't see a thing not even a
squirrel; but I did get a shot at
llO niltlfliV." .- . I:
"Did you got Iiiih?" The old
man leancii forward eagerly.. .
1 "JNaw. , tfut 1 Det 1 rumeo up
those feathers of His some just
the same;" ,: ,
The old man leaned back In his
chair where the shadows played
Strangely over his lace, ana
arpund his mouth there flitted
the ghost of a smile, "too bad,"
was all he said. ,
"Yes, grandfather, 1 call It
9hame. I'll get him yet. Vnu
see if I don't," And the boy
(aid down on thd great rdg where
he could watch the flames as they
crept Up over the logs. ;.
Thus tlievsat .for. some timo
each retaining the silence, which
habit had rendered sacred, ine
old clock on the mantel ticked
awav the miriutes, and the min-
iitei tfrew InU an hour. Then a
Slight scratching on the door
arnnioH liWh nnrl the old man
would, Have risen had, hot the boy
anticipated Uis movement, rushoa
to, the door ,and opened it. As
the' ddpr swilhg opon there ruahed
into tne room a great lean.noumi
whdse glossy coat ot brown giiB'
tened in the liirht of the tire.
, Looking, neither to the right or
left he walked sedately Up.to the
old man Arid laid his. maasive
hnad In the IftD of. his master.
'Good dug Wolf," said the man
as He patted the dlpg lovingly on
the head? Good old dog. Where
have you been 1 1
As the old man finished speax
inc the doer rttis'ed his Head and
looked tntently into the. eyes of
his piaster Wagging his tail as
rind d, so. Then ne, wninea aoitiy
and moved slowly toward the

What is it Wolf, old dostf'
And the (ad stooped and patted
the noble head. But the dog
only turned into the room again
and returned hit position on the
hearth. . V
"Queer. Grandad, aui't lt? I
never knew the old fellow to act
like that before. Did you!" The
direct question seemed to startle
the old map considerably and he
shifted uneasily in his huge chair.
"Yes,", he said ,, reluctantly,
"I've known him to act that way
before. ,, Once when," The old
man paused as though startled
at the words he had uttred. t
"Once when what?" Quickly
asked the boy.
"Oh nothing, fad. Nothing. It
was nothipg, I, must have dream
ed it." . And the old man buried
his head In, his hands, while tlx
room became as silent as the wilr
derness ; which , surrounded the
cabin,,, In his torner, the dog
kept an eye on the glowing coals,
and closed the other professing
sleep; but as the minutes dragt
ged away the, continued silence
seemed, to oppress him and he
arose to again go td the door and
whine. Then he began a circuit
of the room, keeping up a low
whine as he paced backward and
forth around ;the four walls of
the house, ..unnoticed by the man
and boy who were too deep In
