The biggest guns and bomba fail ed to sink the Florida, and it is no more than fair to say that the ren aissance of the mouUor type has begun. t 4 J < The bar at the month of the Co Inmbia river has moved away, and the entrance to Astoria has 34 feet of water at high tide for more thau one mile across the channel. J ' Under the system of farming in the Iulaud Empire, which is to ciop to wheat one year then let (he laud lie idle, or fallow it the next, takes 640 seres to farm 320, and big fu n is keep people poor. Although obvi ously uneconomical this method has been adopted itecause experience has shown that it is more product ive, aud less injurious to the laud, than to grow wheat year after, year without interruption. But scientific agriculture has shown a better way to conserve the fertility of the soil. By crop rotation iu the older couu tries all the laud is made product ive all' the time. The problem out here is to get away from the prac tioe of summer fallowing and adopt crop rotation. That is the purpose of the educational traius which this year have been ruu through many sections of the Inland Empire un der cooperation of the railroads and the Oregou and Washington agricultural colleges. If the reform cau be effected our wheat farmers will need only half the land that is now required under summer fallowing. The other half they can sell, and thus our agricul tural population may be doubled in the Inland Empire. Crop rotation has other advantages than the im mediate doubling of the product iveness of the land. - It brings jra riety to crops; stimulates dairying and the litfe stock interest; kejps down the weed growth, aud does not leave the farmer at the mercy of low prices on a single, product. The change to crop rotation cannot be made in a single year. (There must be agitation, education, and some experimenting, to determine what alternating crops are adapted to different localities. Bat that it will soon be brought about hardly admits of a doubt.

The tide of migration across the continent iu recent year* has been divided into two wave*. One moves from Europe, New England, and older Middle states into the so-call ed grain belt: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas. The other wave has set westward from these common wealths. It is the one which has done so much to create the second, or last West; to obliterate the fron tier In the settlements in eastern and south eastern Washington; the man with whom you talk tells you how the land aud crops compare with those back in Iowa or Minne sota. He knows all about the first West; the West, as the Eastern man still terms it; though it is now the heart of the States. Some of the gray heads can recollect old York State, and away down East, but the multitude who have gone -beyond the Rockies were born on the prairie. As children, they did their part in reclaiming the wilderness. Men and women, they have been trained in the easiest and most piactical methods of agriculture in a new land. They know from past exper ience the best sites for homes, and the dwellings which are mostecono'5 mical, yet comfortable. They are quick to note which crop will make the most money, whether the climate and soil favor fruit or vegetable, if the land needs irrigation. It is not strange that they should be chang ing the face of the land ao rapidly, aince they know well how to do it. Several of onr best exchanges have fixed U nited States Senator Charles W.

The new Canadian law aims at re straining young persons from the use of tobaoco in any form.
