West, pro hibiting the holding of the Shorthorn sale in Portland in December, is a case in point. W. O. Minor, of this city, associated with others 01 me Northwest handling the same breed of cattle, has for a number of years past been holding a public sale in Portland, and had an arrangement made for this annual event, and now comes the order of Gov. West calling the sale off, because somewhere in the United States a few head of Shorthorn cattle are afflicted wim the hoof and mouth disease (it is said that in the whole country over twenty-six head of Shorthorns nave been found, showing symptoms of the disease). This order means tnat these men who have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in building up their business of breeding tnor oughbred stock, will now be denied this means of getting cash returns out of the surplus they have to dis pose of, and it is not shown uiai there is a case of hoof and mouth disease among any of the herds of the Pacific slope. This is on a par with the present law and regulations nvernine the examination of cattle herds for tuberculosis. No one but a registered vetrinary of the state is permitted to apply the tuberculer test, and it must be done by him whenever he can conveniently get around to it. In suiting his own con venience, he many times causes hc.vv loss to the stock owners who must have his "OK" before cattle can be shipped out of the county and state.

The single-crop method is conducive to the production of smut In wheat, smut, it is declared, was primarily responsible for the large number of fires In threshing outius mrou&uuut the Northwest in the harvesting sea son of 1914. The number of fires and tne ex tont of their damage are surprising.

What will happen when the dead of the present war shall be counted, the drain of their manhood consid ered, the awful material losses com puted? Every day the thrones In those lands are more and more endangered, for every day the thought is more and more crystallzlng that the war was unnecessary; that there was no difficulty that It might not have been settled without making Europe one great Golgotha. One thing we are sure win iouow. Nations will no longer trust to peace agreements or the plighted faith of each other.

The annual fat biock. buu Portland Union Stock Yards will be a limited affair this year, owing to the regulations handed out the past week from the office of the Governor. It will be confined exclusively to a showing of stuff that has been ac ponted for slaughter at the yards. The show will therefore be far from coming up to Us usual standard of excellence. The size of the dry majority in Ore gon last week will back up all offi cials with a public sentiment that will be of immense value to them in enforcing the new amendment, it does not mean that the use of liquor will cease altogether; but It does mean that the consumption win De reduced to the minimum, that there will be no open saloons. As soon as the amendment goes into effect, January 1, 1916, the next phase of the struggle will begin enforcement of the new measure. It is the experience of many communi ties that a prohibition measure is nnnniir (n nronortion as it is en forced. Tho liquor interests will make their usual great effort to vio late the law and thus discredit it. They will back hundreds of bootleg gers, filling their ears with Becret tales of the profits to be made from illicit liquor selling, and tempting them to take the chance. if state, county and city officials iov in mnkine arrests and in im- , posing the full penalty of law, a hue a .n will he raised that prohibl- tion does not and cannot prohibit, and that license is better. The brew- ers and distillers want license be- cause they can sell vastly more liquor under It, and that Is their only thought or concern. But every day of effective prohibi tion adds to the sentiment in favor of prohibition. Let the people stick to their good resolution, iei mom deal relentlessly with violators, aud in a few years a generation will grow up to which the saloon is a total stranger.
