WASTE LAND
According to t lie department of ag
riculture, only 2i per cent of the till
able laud of the United Slates is ac
tually under cultivation. This state
incut is based on the reports of 35,000
correspondents, These reports were
obtained in order to gain information
as to the tillable area of the United
States, the amount of land that can
not be used for crops that have to be
plowed, but available for pasture or
fruits, and the total number of acres
that never can be used for agricul
tural purposes. From the returns,
which were generally very consist
ent, preliminary estimates have been
made, for each state and for the Unit
ed Slates. Further investigation in
the Western states may modify some
what the present estimate for those
states.
The entire United States, excluding
foreign possessions, contains about
1,WX1,XXI,(XK) acres. Of this area about
60 per cent, or 1,140,(XK),XK) acres is es
timated to be tillable, that is, capable
of being brought under cultivation by
means of the plow. This includes
land already under such cultivation
and that which in the future may be
brought under cultivation by clearing,
drainage, irrigation, etc.
Three hundred and sixty one mil
lion acres or 19 per cent, are esti
mated to be non-tillable but valuable
for pasture or fruit. Only 21 per cent,
3'W,(XH),(;!0 acres, was estimated to be
of no use for agriculture present or
future
According to the census of 1909,
the land area in crops where acreage
was given was 31 l.OUI.OOO acres. This
is about. 16 percent of the total land
area or about ?7 per cent of the es
timated potential tillable area of the
United States, excluding foreign pos
sessions.
In other words, for every 100 acres
that are now tilled, about 375 acres
may be tilled when the country i
fully developed. In the development
of the agriculture of the country the
land which was most easily brought
into a state of cultivation, as the great
Mississippi valley, was the first to
be brought into such use. F.xtetlsion
of tilled area will be at greater ex
pense for clcarin'. drainage, irig.itiou,
etc. The increased production of the
future will be the result of the- in
creased yields per acre as well as ex
tension of area.
HARVEY W. SCOTT
The quarterly bulletin recently is
sued by the Oregon Historical SocieW
is devoud exclusively lo the lite and
char.ieti-r of the late Harvey W. Scott.
Commencing his newspaper career
at the modest salary of fifteen dollars
per week, Harvey Scott roe from
poverty to wealth and from an ob
scure position to one of commanding
importance in the Pacific Northwest
His Creator not only gave him a
pleasing tlow ot language but a mas
avt intellect to guide his pen. Ad
ded to these virtues was an insatiable
thust tor knowledge, lie was a thor
ough student and much of his suc
cess may be attributed to the fact that
he ueer wrote upon any Mibjeet un
til he became master of bis t'aeK
There was nothing shallow about
Harvey Scott. He never lost his
brain in a veritable maze of high
sounding words or wrote an editorial
unless he had something to say. He
wai no stradler and knew not the
meaning of the words compromise
when it meant the compromise of
some vital principle. He blared the
trail of real journalism on the Pacific
Coast and for nearly half a century
was the best known and most respec
ted editorial writer west of the Rocky
Mountains. His fame came to him
not because of mere personal popu
larity, family connection or political
prow m. 1 1 e.une to hint through
sheer force of intellect. When our
pioneer governors and former nicm-
Iters of the United States senate from
Oregon arc forgotten, the memory of
Harvey Scott will live, lie has in
delibly impressend himself upon the
early and la;er day history ot the
state. Notwithstanding the fact that
we disagreed with the former editor
upon many political ipiesiions, we re
spected his honesty and admired his
talent.
The Orcyon Historical Society did
well wdicn it preserved for future gen
orations, an intimate :nd personal
view of the veteran eflitor and publisher.
An "army" of jobless men who
won't work for $3X) per day because
their sleeping quarters are not to
their liking is truly a curiosity. Their
thirst for notoriety is evidently
stronger than their pangs of hunger.

Last Saturday was a red letter day
for Grand Prairie Grange Xo. 10, the

evident emotion. Following the in

nil came a literary program with
grange Songs, solos, instrumental se
lections, recitations and readings.
Mrs. Grace LaSallc, Miss Nami Bo-
dine and Miss Maude Rolfc each gn,ye
selections upon the organ and each
responded to an encore. Rodney
I'Toyd sang several songs with man
dolin accompaniment and Clifford
Walker with a guitar gave several
numbers that also won applause. The
leading officers are C. L. Shaw, mas
ter; Otto Kroman, overseer; Cl'fford
Walker, lecturer and 1 M. Mitchell,

MAYOR MAKES STATEMENT
RELATIVE TO UNEMPLOYED
Claims' Citizens Furnishing
Food Worked in Opposition
to Authorities.
In an interview with a representa
tive of the Ueuiocrat, in regard to the
army of l. W. VVs. Mayor Curl tiiis
morning made the following siale
menl; "There are doubtless few people not
actnaiiy in toucn wun conuitions ex
isting, the claims and demands and
general demeanor of tne so-called ar
my who can realize tne dnncuhies
inc otticers oi a city like ours have in
handling matters of this character.
These men iiiukc fair pretenses, iliey
claim to ue orucriy, and i believe if
tiiey were given leather beds and
punipkin pic rations regularly, ttiey
wouid ie. They were oiiered iood
and shelter ii tney would snow their
good faith oy performing wortt in
eieaing. Ihe streeis, but tliis was re
fused because tney did not wish to
work in the muddy streets. They are
an ugiy lot ot fellows when their de
mands for food without work are re
fused, and to accede to their demands
for iood and shelter without work
would be setting a precedent that
would be continually vexing and an
noying us.
"i regret to say that some of our
citizens wnile enucavonng lo exempli
fy a charitable disposition by lurnisa
u,g supplies to tiiese men, were work

in such ca.ses licicaLcr, to control
the army instead of being controlled
by it. l here are many oi mis same
class of people in the country and
submission to iheu demands without

Grew More Interesting at
Each Session.
BROUGHT TO CLOSE AT
CORVALLIS YESTERDAY
Many Local People Attended
Session and Report Great
t Meeting.
The factories promotion congress
.vhich closed at Corvallis yesterday
grew more popular and interesting
at each session, tne last being the
banner day- declared those who at
tended a representatives of the Al-
..nmercial club and manufac
turing plants. ilic- returned home
last night.
The morning session speakers were.
Professor Lewis, of Oregon Agricul
tural College; J. V. Bachelder, of the
.uurer:uive in -products committee, of
Hood River, both of whom spoke on
tiie utilization ot by-products; State
Treasurer Kay, who spoke on rhe sub
ject of woolen mills; Professor Tee
ter, the application of water power to
engineering, and J. L. Stockton, pres
ident of the Oregon RetaiLM crchants'
Association, whose subject was "How
the Oregon Merchant Can Help Ore-,-iu.f
s Payrolls."'
Position is Deplored.
Mr. Kay deplored chat Oregon is
not only unheard of, as a manufactur
ing stale, but that much of the pro
ducts of Oregon woolen mills ar?
marked California ' or European, be
cause people demand tho.e brands
and will not have the Oregon brand.
Jie said that California blankets have
a wonderful reputation, but that, they
are nearly all made in Oregon; also
that the mills of this state manufac
ture large quantities of fabrics tor
women's wearing apparel, but that
these are sold as European products
generally because if they were known
as Oregon products they would not
be acceptable to purchasers.
Mining Addresses Made.
At the final session of congress
the speakers were: H. M. Parks, of
the state bureau of mines, who spoke
on the mineral resources of the state;
Professor Williams, whose subject
was the possibilities of the clay in
dustry in Oregon; Major H. L. Bowl
by, who spoke on road building; Pro
fessor Scudder, who explained that
tiie manufacturer of starch from Ore
gon grown potatoes can be made a
most profitable industry, and Profes
sor Peavy, who, spoke on the timber
resources of Oregon.
Several resolutions were adopted,
favoring better moral and industrial
conditions, endorsing the work of in
dustrial education and recommending
that the people of Oregon support es
tablished industries.

WHO PAYS TRE ORGANIZER
OF UNEMPLOYED "ARMY"?
Conflicting opinions were voiced on
the streets of Albany today in regard
to -the few score of unemployed men
who were lodged in the engine house
last evening.
It seemed to be the general opin
ion that the "army" was organized
in Portland by a paid organizer and
sent southward to rid that city of an
undesirable class of itiserant tramps.
It is claimed that but few if any of
those enlisted are cither anxious or
willing to work.
Others claim that the men wereior
ganized in the Rose City and sent out
purely for political purposes, the ex
penses of the organizer being paid by
those who were interested in creat
ing discontent with the present con
ditions. Mrs. F. V. Smith, of Prineville. is
a visitor in the city.
P. P. Kline, of Corvallis. transacted
business here this morning.
