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.

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

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.

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?
