"IF"?
If we had builded as we planned last year
A home of cheerful rooms and porches
wide,
If we had worked, instead of dreamed to
rear
A structure where contentment would
abide,
Where little children's voices could be
heard
In merry shout and laughter ringing free
Without the fear of any chiding word
From irate landlord, or from you, or me.
We would have missed the poor homehunt
er's doom,
If we had builded as we planned last
year!
The soul expands if you but give it room,
But shrivels in a crowded atmosphere.
We would have had a dwelling of our own,
And this mad war that raised the build
ing cost
Would not affect us, had we only known.
But now our opportunity is lost!

INTRODUCTION
For the advertiser to gain the best possible results
from his newspaper advertising, his medium must
possess
1. The confidence of its readers commonly ex
pressed "Having a standing with the people."
2. A field that is virgin soil for the advertisers'
statements where they will sprout and bring forth
many sales.
Circulation which thoroughly covers the field,
and which includes in the list the "buying class."

to save Alaska from the Guggenheims no middle ground,
had created a living body of public To sum up, as in many other mat
opinion which lacked only official ters the promise made was not per-
leadership to save what resources still
remained in public hands. It seemed
at first that President Wilson would
lead.
At the outset the work of the Wil
son Administration in Conservation
was good. Congress passed, and Mr.
Wilson signed, the Alaska Railroad
'Bill and the bill which assured Gov
ernment control of coal lands in Al
aska. These measures were excellent,
and President Wilson deserves praise
for their enactment. So he does for
his veto of a bill to give away Nation
al Forest lands.
Unfortunately these creditable in
stances form but a little of the ercord.
Politics came into control. Thus a
bill seeking to turn the natural re
sources of Alaska over to a political
commission was repeatedly recom
mend by the Administration through
the mouth of the Secretary of the In
terior. If passed it would have thrown
Alaska Into the hands of the special
interests and established a policy al
most certain to destroy the National
control of natural resources every
where else as well. This measure we
were fortunately able to stop.
When Wilson became President,
the Reclamation Service, In its great
work of irrigating the arid lands of
the West, was wholly free from pol
itics. By the mouth of his Secretary
of the Interior Wilson advocated, and
later signed, a bill which leaves the
choice of lands to be reclaimed to a
Committee of Congress, and so makes
politics dominate the Service, fi.
Director Newell was the man who
created the Reclamation Service. He
made and kept it one of the most effi
cient Bureaus under the Government.
The Secretary of the Interior forced
him out, and replaced him by a Com
mission In which politicians control.
The Newlands bill is a Conserva
tion measure which proposes to devel
op all the resources of our inland wa
terways waterpower, navigation, ir
rigation, and domestic supply, for
the public benefit. Although Wilson
strongly endorsed it during his cam
paign, as President he let it drop, and
instead has signed two waterway bills
of the old pork-barrel type, which are
everything the Newlands bill is not.
Waterpower is the most valuable
resource still in public hands. There
is undeveloped waterpower in our
navigable streams equal to twice the
power of every kind now used In the
United States. It is a huge prize. For
years the waterpower Interests have
been fighting to seize it, and the Con
servationists to save it for the people.
A waterpower measure, the Adam
son Bill, came before the House In
1914. It favored monopoly, and gave
the special interests, for nothing, the
public water power on navigable
streams. Nevertheless Wilson en
dorsed it.
On Its way through the House, the
bad parts of the Adamson bill were
stricken out, and the public rights
were secured. Thereupon Wilson re
versed his previous stand, and en
dorsed the amended bill. This good
bill then went to the Senate, where
It was shelved, and the Indefensible
Shields bill was reported in its place.
The Shields bill gives away the public
waterpowers forever and for nothing.
Both Roosevelt and Taft vetoed bills
drawn on the same principle. Yet,
by another reversal, the Wilson Ad
ministration got behind it, and when
a widely circulated public appeal was
made to the President for his help to
defeat It, lie refused.
As to waterpower on the public
lands, there Is but one reversal in
stead of two. Wilson first, by the
mouth of a member of his Cabinet,
endorsed the Ferris bill, which was
mainly good. It was replaced In the
Senate by the Myers bill, which Is
thoroughly bad. Among other tilings
this bill actually throws the Grand
Canyon, the greatest natural wonder
of America, wide open to individual
appropriation. Nevertheless, Wilson
reversed himself In order to give It In
the same way Ills endorsement.
Both as to waterpower on naviga
blo streams and on public lands, the
last reversals leave the Administra
tion standing with the special inter
ests against the people. j
The Phelan oil land measure
would hand over to private Individ
uals who have no legal rights the val
uable oil lands set aside as reserves 1
for the Navy. The Navy Department
has made public announcement that
the mere threat of the Phelan bill's
passage has caused it "to seriously
consider the advisability of abandon
ing" the policy of constructing oil
burning ships. Only oil burning ships
can develop and maintain the high
speeds required in modern war, and
without them no Navy can be even
secon(, clag9 The Secretary of tne
formed. Instead of progress in con
serving our resources, the last two
years have seen a bitter and often a
losing fight to hold what we had. Wil
son talked well, began to act well,
and then, yielding to the political
pressure of the special interests, went
back on Conservation.
Farm Crops Exhibit at the State Fair.
During the course of the year at
the Branch Experiment Station a''
Moro R. Ball of the United States De
partment of Agriculture and Mr L. M.
Jegers of the United States Grain
Standardization Laboratary, collected
a large number of wheat varieties and
planted them in a wheat classification
nursery. Hundreds of varieties were
represented there from various parts
of the dry farm country of Eastern
Oregon and Washington, and Eastern
states. In addition to this a consid
erable number of varieties from In
dia and Australia were grown. Both
head and grain samples of these
wheats are on exhibition at the fair,
so that It will be possible for people
having varieties of wheat to identify
them and get their true names. An
other feature of the exhibit consists
of heads and grain display of the
leading winter and spring varieties of
each of the important wheat growing
sections of Oregon. The leading va
rieties of barley and oats are dis
played. A small exhibit of some of
the freak wheats that are rather fre
quently exploited before the farming
public of the northwest, has been pre
pared. Persons having varieties of
wheat of which they do not know the
names are invited to bring head sam
ples of the wheat for comparison and
identification at the State Fair booth,
and in case they cannot be identified
there they will be forwarded to the
Farm Crops Department at Corvallls
and worked over at that place.
