- It was a magnificient spectacle
that appeared In Portland Tues
day night when 90,000 people
gathered on the streets to witness
the great "Spirit of the West"
parade. It shows that Oregon is
Very much alive to the vast ikm
slbilities of her industrial dcvel-
ppement.

The moat Important usv la to enable
the farmer to market hi produce and

I?eing the foundation industry, we may
Justly claim that the flrat object ahould
be to provide t-uLanct.-d facilities for
travel ami t raffle Letweeu the farms
and tbe bualnrss centers or sblpplng

peuds upon a prosperous and remuner-
utlve agriculture, and plan shouKl le
made to conserve the Interests related
thereto rather than to build lung lines
of connecting LiKhwnys that are not of
tuuterlal use to the farmer or any oth
er business or li'uluslrj:. Tbe eBUbllsli-
l bicDt of through roads should be made

N)me college professor has fi;7-j ru.llatlng highways thst are used to

The proposal td s!t aside something
over 3,000 tulles Id the state, to be Im
proved at State expense, td constitute
a ho called trunk systeiri, while plausi
bly presented, docs not carry weighty
argument and should not prevail over
tlio needs and demauds of the farmlug
districts that would not be reached by
tl:ts state system. Some localities
would reap advantages from the use
of roads thus built, obtain relief from
taxation because of their building and
profit by the enhancement of property
vii lues that Inevitably follows highway
Improvement, while In comparison oth
er localities that the etate Is under
(jnite as much obligation to aid will bo
left to strugglo as best they may un
der adverse conditions.
If there was an unlimited fund at
tl:i command of tbe state, each locali
ty might In time be reached by a share
of the benefits. Hut the bonded debt
cannot exceed f.V),000,OU), and It will
re julre practically all that remains of
that sum to complete the state roads
ns projected .y tbe legislative commit
ter. While provision la ma1 In the
bills Introduced by the Joint committee
fur both state and county roads, yet It
may be easily foreseen that the state
M.uls aro to havo first attention, and
wheri that is accomplished the fund
will be absorbed, and the state cannot
therefore assist in the improvement of
tbe county roads'.
The question of through roads its
axaluHt the radiating business roads 1m
of far ufore Importance than many ap
preciate. Every towu hamlet or ship
ping station is entitled to consideration
in the fllstiibutltiu of favors that the
state fim to grant, and there should bo
n. privileged localities. The state
hhouid not build highways for one
town or district and withhold the same
advantage from another. The roads
that are of sutrtclcnt Importance to Jus
tify expensive construction and main
tenance should be a Joint charge upon
tho state, county and town and be so
apportioned that they will provide un
eiulfable division or benefits As be
tween localities. With such a policy
the fund of the state can be rnndo to
cover a much , greater mileage, and
there will be uo discrimination.

An agreement has been mad '
between thd postoflice authorise:
bf the U. S.,and Great Hriaian,
by which thrj rate of postage be
tween tho two countries will bi
reduced October 1, to two cents
per ounce instead of five cents
as now charged. It is but a
Question of a few years time un
til the postage t) all continental
Europe will be reduted to the
same rate.
. Chamberlain has been chosen
by a majority of the people to tho
fcffice of U. S. Senator, and there
Is a safe majority of Statement
No. 1 members in the legislature.
The only thing for the legislature
to do now is ratify (he votoof the
people and send Mr. Chamberlain
to the.SVnate. The adoption or
rejection of Statement No. 1 was
optimal with tho.se legislative
candidate? who took it, and it will
not be kca'lthy for any of them to
go bacfc on their pledge.
The Oregonian is now using its
influence to persuade Statement
No. 1 members of the legislature to
ignore their pledges. Mr. Scott
is wasting his time. The Mai ion
delegation will stand pat, and a
majority of other counties will do
the same.

The Nacaaaity For Secondary Agricul
tural Schools Daacribad.
Special Correspondence
Of late there has been a marked In
crease In the number of agricultural
colleges, and they are all Improving
rapidly In their equipment and facili
ties and aro oil engaging more In vari
ous forms of university extension
work, such as farmerj institutes, cor
respondence courses, reading courses
and experimental researches. They
are thus attructlng a large and ever
larger class of students. Hut all
thin development of agricultural col
leges and their work has only brought
out the fact that under the best condi
tions and working to the fullest extent
of their possibilities they can meet the
educational requirements of onlv a
small fraction of the youth upon our
farms.
If any considerable body of the farm
loys and girls aro to receive definite
instruction In the principles of agri
culture (not td mention the class of
city bred boys who are Interested ami
want definite Instruction as td farm
life), th,er must be supplied a system
of schools uf A lower grade than tl
college or what is known as secondary
schools of agriculture. There Is
strong demand for and a disposition
manifest td place the teachings of ag
rlcuiture in the curriculum of our pub
lie and graded schools, but neither
their present condition nor the possi
billtles of their future development
promise any very definite hope of
great value In this direction. Without
doubt their courses of instruction could
be much Improved so as to cultivate a
love for and an interest In nature
study and. Impart many facts that
would be of lasting benefit to the
young people Mho shall go out from
these schools to live upon the farms,
but these schools will never be able to
teach the sciences relating td agrleuM
ture Itself without Interfering with tha
general scopo of their work. What al
wsys has must always continue to
constitute the principal work of the
schools. To these general linos of
work may well be added a limited
amount of nature study, of wood work
ing, domestic science and the elements
of agriculture, but not enough lnstruc-
tlon regarding any art can bo given to
perfect the student in any of these,
and especially Is this trua of agricul
ture and the sclcnco of farm economy.
This must be taupht if taught at all in
schools of hlgho'f grade aud j et to be
within the reach of all must still be
secondary to tbe college and of easy
access to. ad who would avail them
selves of the bcnetlt W. N. GILES.

In the matter of grange libraries
Connecticut leads New England, if not
tho entire country. A few years ago a
committee was jippohited with Fro
fessor C. H. Fbclps as chairman to ar
range for and put in circulation ten
traveling libraries of twenty books
each. A Careful system was outlined
and the several libraries given twenty
suitable books, so that each group
would lnclndo works' of fiction, nature,
travel, history and agriculture. There
has been a steady demand for them,
and, many more calls have been re-
coked than could be supplied. This
Iflng the fact, twenty more libraries
will be added within Uw near future,
nrraugemeuta for which were made at
the last annual meeting of the state
grnngo nt Hartford. This -will make
thirty traveling libraries, wiih twenty
books each, circulating among the
granges In the Nutmeg State. Tbo
plan Is very commendable nnd is wor
thy of still grenter multiplication. De

matter of obtaining a library or any
