The riolitical and social millennium has not yet arrived nor is it even actually in sight, hut he must be wed- ded to the past who dose not recognize that oonditiocs are far better than they ware, that the movement is still upward ami onwoard, and that people will not be satisfied until abuses arid wrongs are ended. Moral faults in our rublio men are no longer tolerated There wag a time when excessive drinking tv snrh nien caused no ad verse criticism because it was gener ally taken as a matter of course and as being in accord with the social cus toms. But any man at the present dav who should drink to excess could never hope to win his way into the public confidences. In fact so far has sentiment advanced that the man who abstains altogether finds it a strong asset in his favor. So also in (ither'things. Men who today labor under the su-picion of political wrone doinc are usually relegated to privatn life by constituencies that demand prchity and hinor in their reprisent.i- tives. In all this one sees that the former days -sere not better than these, as some unobservant people contend, but verr much worse. 4 . Writing from La Grande, N. C. Maris, a field worker of the Otegon Agricultural College, states that the citizens oi the different sections or Union county are co-operating in an effort to rr.uke their county lair a ret ord breaker in every respect this vear. They propose to get together an exhibit at La Grande. October 8-11, that will convince their own citizens as well as visitors, trmt Union is second to no other county in the state in agricultural production. Indus trial, agricultural and horticultural exhibits staged by the children of the county will be made a prominent fea ture of the fair. In order to protect the seeda of Douglas Fir that will be planted dur ing this summer, a campaign of ex termination will be waged against Geld mice and other rodents in the burned over sections of Tillamook County, and poisoned grain will be liberally scattered over a tract of about 2000 acres to be reforested. .As soon as the poison crew finishes its work, a force of men will be sent to do the seeding, a task which will require about three months. In addi tion to the 2000 acres to be seeded, an additional 1000 acres will be planted with yuung trees. of Western Oregon will be made the I subjects of pictures and stories to induce tourists to include n trip , through Oregou in their exposition : plans. With the usual rush of business in cident to this period of the vear, the railroads are scenting trouble ahead in the form of a shortage of cars. In anticipation of this the railroads have repaired and added to their equipment, but it is the fear of those iu charge of railway operation that tnis alone will not suffice and to avoid serious delays and congestion the ship pers and the railroads must actively co-operate. Delav on the part of shippers in loaning and unloadina cars is often the direct causa of the carriei's in abiltiy to fnrnish cars, whereas if the shippnrs would load and unlond promptly and when ion;istant load cars to their rated capacity difficulties incident to rush of husiness would, it is believed , be approximately relieved. The solution of the problem appears to be co-operat:on, prompt loading and unloading by the shippers find promct moveinHtit aud delivery of cars by the railroads. With this end in view last year the California Railroad CoinmiES e .. . .. i ion as well as tne Kaiiwav IjOid I mission of Oregon and several other 'states took cognizance of conditions land with the hearty support of many I trado aud commercial organizations developed a spirit of co-operation between the shippers and the ra'lroacis which verv substantially relieved the situp.tion and a heavv movement of troftic resolted without serions lelay of congestion anywheie. The plan gnve such general sntistaction that in all probility it will soon be a mutual, Permanent working arrangement. Present indications are that in the near future demand for curs will be very heavy and even with a large supply nf equipment in serviceable condition to prevent delay and conges tion in supplying and moving cars active co-operation between the car riers and the shippers must obtain. n mim m m ni wv mi aa m i a ra iwi 0 M i j f j 1 A i a ON Owing to the backward season we find that we are overstocked on low cut and half shoes and in order to make room for our fall stock we are almost giving shoes away.

Vi.-itori to the world' fair at Ssn Francisco in 1915 will be reminded by the Southern Pacific that Oregon is "one of the sigths you can't afford to miss." As result of series of conferences recently held between the officials of that line, the "Shasta Rout," the line between Portland and Sacramento, will be widely ex ploited. Crater Lake, the great fruit orchards of Souther Oregon, the Wil lamette Valley, the grand scenery of the Cascades and the varied industries John H. Lewis, state engineer, is constantly drawing the attention of investors to the vast amount of idle water cower going to waste in the state of Oregon, and the uses that might be made of it. He has recently made the statement that iron ore miath be shipped from China to Portland aid laid down thereat a lower cost, per ton than Pittsburg manufaturets pay for their supply, ar.d that, with the use of idle water power, hartiesoed to electric machines, the smelting could be done cheaper in that manner in Portland than it is done with he use of coil in the Pittsburg district. Mr. Lewis seems ro be almrst alone in the matter of calling attention to onr water power resources. He shnold have help. Kvery resident of Oregon is vitally in terested in this matt r. and there should be an organized effort, backed by all the power of all the people, to ont these potential forces of wealth in to use. Oregon can learn from older countries lessons along this line. Why not get organized and get busy? Salem Statesman.
