If it be true that there will be opposi

not local. It is Oregon's enterprise. It
Will attract people .from all parts of the
country. It will advertise the state, it
wilt be the time when Oregon begins Its
forward march to the greatness warrant
ed by her resources ,
Parsimony at this period of the state's
development would be suicidal. It would
make for retrogressloa, It would be the
penny wise, pound foolish policy.
The Legislature should appropriate lib
erally for the Fair. It should Invest for
the people In a business venture that can
not fall to return large interest pon the
sum expended. It should for the time be

ment of th keenest business men of
the state, and who are not asking others

If our legislature refuse to appropriate

directors of the enterprise go in all good

to lend their assistance. '

COMMENDABLE STAND.
Mayor Williams, In his Inaugural, took
commendable ground. He deserves sup
port for his proper conception ef the
functions of a city government, and the
attitude that a Mayor should ( assume.
Every good citizen will be glad to offer
him strong support, and to pledge as
sistance in carrying Into effect the policy
enunciated In the Mayor's message. -,
His appointment of William M. Ladd to
the position of Police', Commissioner also
marks his inception of the Mayor's du
ties as wise and calculated to make for
good administration. Mr. Ladd will
serve the people well. 'He will keep in
mind the law and tha possibilities and
harmonise them according to the concep
tions of a practical man of affairs and
one who knows the city, and Its needs.
What ever of political differences may
have existed In the past, it fs the duty
of all good citizens to lend aMnkrt to
the present city government, to the end
that the best results may be attained,
and wise plans be carried out. -v

make the same mistake. Obscuring their
own vision of the people of this state,

likewise obscured. But what the people
can't see of them isn't worth seeing.

A RAfiO OF SUCCESS.
Upon a given level, one out of 000 aver
age Americans attain success; while, up
oh( the ame level, one out of 10& college
graduates attain auccesa This" result, is
worked out by Eldwln Orant Dexter, a
professor of the University of Illinois, In
an elaborate system of. data. He men
tions the subject briefly' In the Popular
Science Monthly. .
It from his findings another ratio be
taken, tt will appear that the ratio of
Success between college graduates and
others la about 8.6:1, which means that
the man or woman Who hat finished a
courso of collegiate education has more
than five times the better chance for
success than the one who has not had
such training.
The Value of Professor Dexter's figures
depend, of course, upon two things; His
correct estimate of relative success of our
public men; and his definition of what he
regards firsuccess. It W apparent that he
has accepted to a great degree the verdict
of the worll ascertained In a sort of In
definite manner, yet,' perhaps, with, some
accuracy. However,, even though JProfes
i.or Dexter be, partially wrong in bis esti
mate and definitions, it can hardly be
argued that he is exceedingly far from
the truth, and therefore it must be con
ceded that hla findings add , to the previ
ously adduced testimony ' that college
training advances one along the roadway
toward success of the real kind. When
one gets beyond the expectation that col
lege work will furnish brains, he will
haV nemculty In holding ground in
favor of the advantages that accrue from
the years spent within the confines of the
college campus. Probably, Professor Dex
ter is not far from the exact truth, the

withstanding.

Walking not long agd through a field
five mile north of Delafield, Wis., John
Park, a sportsman and taxidermist, saw
a large bird which, looked like a bit ot
cloud, ft was sailing 300 yards high and
half a mile away,
' Finally It alighted on the topmost
branch of ah elm, which stood on the
edge of a wood, and he determined 10
stalk it. Marking the position of the elm,
he plunged mlo the woods and made a
alf-clrcle ot a quarter ef a mile; creep
ing to a tree through underbrush,.
He had slipped a shell loaded with duck
shot Into the elose-cheked left barrel of
his' gun- and get within 60 yards of his
target The bird went dead at the crack
of tbe gun. Park examined it curiously,
mounted It, and would now like a nat
uralist to tell him what he has got.
The bird is a true hawk of great site,
being much larger than the ordinary hen-
hawk. It has bright golden eyes, a black
bill and black talons.
Oh th. elbows of the wings are several
feather bf reddish brown, and it has a
few red-brown feathers In the tall.
This hwk has very heavy taldna and
a wing-spread of- more than three feet.
It weighed probably eight ppunds. It Is
nearly as large, th tact, as an eagle.
Park noted that it was of swift and
