Disarmament i t not gaining in Europe, but there is more caution than formerly in «tricking a match in international affairs. In the Japanese army great care is taken that the socks of soldiers properly fit their feet. Attention to such details has been known to push through a long hike and win a battle. - W om an suffrage has made a long stride in the states of the American union. The English militants ought to be able to see that both their strategy and tactics are at fault. It is a pity that all the old soldiers said to each other at Gettysburg could not he recorded. The swapping of reminiscences would make a great story if it could be preserved. Three Great Days. Three great days in the history of this country, and in advance ment of popular government and true liberty throughout the world, have fallen on the Fourth of July. That first great day, when representatives of a handful of liberty loving people pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor for the support of a rebellion against the most power ful government then on earth and the founding of a new nation, and when the liberty bell rang out the glad announcement of a new birth of freedom, and cracked, is one whose influence has en circled the earth. It has unshackl ed the limbs of men from tyran nical power the world over. A new nation has just been born in Asia because of it. M en every where hold up their heads and question, and over throw, the authority of self-appointed and hereditary rulers. And women, inspired by the spirit of that day and the deed done, also question ancient and arbitrary authority, and demand their rightful place as coequals in the work of self- government. -• There was received at the Port land market last week 1027 cattle 74 calves, 3784 hogs, 5372 sheep and 21 horses. Beef cattle sole around eight cents, calves at nine cents; hogs as high as $9.15; sheep $3.75 to $4.75. . It would be strange if enterpris ing men should invest their time work and money in an effort produce wool in our own country and then not defend the industry vigorously if it should he threaten ed with destruction.

The time is now ripe for Sher man county to become active in selecting sample of grains, vegeta bles, fruits, etc., for displays to he ■made at the various hand shows this fall and winter. It is hoped that every section o f the county will come to the front with a liberal quantity of their best products. N o amount o f written or printed boosting can be ns effective as a well staged display of die actual products of Sherman county gardens and ranches. The forest service department has recently taken up the work of reclassification of lands in the national forest resenps • with a view to opening up for settlement such agricultural lands as may now be included within the reserve boundaries. Under the plan for this work the bureau of soils will determine what soils are agricultur al |h oharacter, experts of the for est service will detemine whether or not the value r r of the timber on such lands is greater tfian the agricultural valuation, and if not, any lands which are found valuable for agriculture and not needed for public purposes will be immedi ately opened to settlement and entry under the homestead laws MARKS COTURY OF PEACE DeMoss Springs Grove north o M oro sheltered about six hundrec people when the program of the day began prompt at ten a. m with a concert by Pounds Wasco hand.
