Tad Is Dead.
The Debenture Plan.
Wanted, Another Edison.
A "Want Ad."
"Tad" Dorgan is dead. Millions
knew him. He analyzed human na
ture In pictures, as well as Dickens
did in words.
Stricken by heart disease, know
ing that he might die at any mo
ment, he continued working cheer
fully and died in his sleep.
He worked as a boy, 'in a mill, to
support his mother and younger
children. When his right hand was
mutilated, in an accident, he drew
pictures with his left hand.
A Hearst editor asked him to
come from San Francisco to New
York for double the salary he was
paid. Tad replied, "I have my moth
er and six kid brothers and sisters.
I wouldn't leave them."
Invited to bring them all East at
Mr. Hearst't expense, he came and
established a reputation through
out the whole country.
Prize fight enthusiasts, with half
an Inch of forehead, or Charles
Dana Gibson, with a brow like the
dome of St. Peter's will tell you
"Tad was a great man."
The Senate may put through the
"farm relief" debenture plan in
spite of the "President's protest."
That is good news for middlemen.
They would buy farm products, ex
port them and get a bonus on ex
ported products.
The farmer would get the bonus
IF he could ship wheat or cotton
direct to Liverpool. But he cannot
do that
It la "hoped that giving a bonus
to exporting middlemen will 'auto
matically' increase prcles paid the
farmer."
Silly hope. Paying the middle
man twenty cents a quart for milk
does not Increase the four or five
cents a quart paid the farmer.
However, the debenture bonuB
would put money In circulation,
even If It did the farmer no direct
good. Also It would add to the rich
man's taxes and make that re
sourceful gentleman say to himself,
"I must think up a way to solve
that farm problem."
Expensive labor compels the pro
duction of new machinery. Expen
sive farm cure-alls will make finan
cial intelligence Interest Itself In the
farmer.
Governors of various States are
co-operating with Thomas A. Edi
son, seeking among boys of today,
"Edison's successor." That boy,
when found, will find himself.
To develop Edison, one among
hundreds of millions, many ingre
dients, including poverty and nec
essity, were necessary.
The next Edison is somewhere, on
a farm, or In the city.
There is no way to identify him
now.
It pays to get a good job and at
tend to it And it pays to advertise.
Twenty-two years ago, D. A. Craw
ford, very young, answered a "want
ad.," and got a job as stenographer
with Mr. Carry, late president of
the Pullman Company.
Recently, the Pullman Company
directors, Intelligently promoting
one of their own men. chose Mr.
Crawford to succeed Mr. Carry, as
president
Don't stay In the wrong place,
liut don't be In a hurry to decide
that you are right and the Job Is
wrong.

Improved weather conditions In
all sections of the state have
brought Joy to anglers. Practically
all the streams In Oregon except
those fed by melting snow have
cleared and fishermen are reporting
good catches. The Increased activ
ity of anglers has been noted by the
state game commission through a
heavy demand for licenses.
The death of T. J. Craig, known
as "Tom" to hundreds of sportsmen
of the state is deeply felt by every
official and employe of the state
game commission. Mr. Craig start
ed working for the commission in
1911 and was on the job continu
ously until death came last week.
He was in charge of the planting
of fish from the various hatcheries
of the commission and was well
known by all who are interested In
the Increasing of Oregon's fish sup
ply. With unabated energy the hunt
ers of the state are keeping up their
campaign of cougar killing, accord
ing to reports of the state game
commission. George L. Thomas, of
Illahe, Curry county, last week re
quested bounties of $25 each on four
cougar he had killed. During March
the commission paid bounties on 26
cougar and in April on 30. On June
1, the contest for the cougar hunt
ing championship of Oregon will
start to continue for a year. Five
cash prizes ranging downward from
$175 to $25 have been offered to
hunters by the game commission.
These prizes are offered in addition
to the regular bounties.
There was a distinct feeling of
sadness in the heart of every sports
man who fished the Deschutes river
over last week end. It was on that
stream, famous for its trout, that
Lester W. Humphreys, of Portland,
well known attorney, war veteran
and angler, Is thought to have lost
his life. Mr. Humphreys was an
ardent fisherman and was active In
the affairs of the Multnomah Ang
ler's club for many years. He was
an excellent fly caster and fisher
man.
An official of the state game com
mission has discovered a man he
terms as the most resourceful gun
owner on record. It seems that the
man in question was an experienced
hunter and the possessor of a rifle
of which he thought a great deal.
The sights on the gun, however,
were not to his liking. , He desired
gold-beaded sights but lacked the
gold. His mother-in-law owned sev
eral gold teeth. It Is said that with
the demise of the mother-in-law the
gun owner was discovered and con
sequently frustrated in the act of
removing one of the gold teeth so
that he might have his desired bead
ed sights.
The state game commission has
responded to the request of E. O.
Balnter of Nehalem, and sent a
male Chinese pheasant to mate with
a hen pheasant that makes her
home near Mr. Balnter's farm. Chi
nese pheasants do not thrive in that
section of the state, as a rule, but
the female has lived near Mr. Bain
ter's place and fed with his chick
ens for some time. He hopes that
with the arrival of the bird sent
from the state game farm a heal
thy brood of pheasants will result.
A recent compilation of the acre
age in Oregon set aside for game
refuges, made by Harold Clifford,
state game warden, shows a total
of 3,245,065 acres. Nineteen refuges
have been set aside by the state
legislature and in addition to these
148,000 acres of privately owned
land and 88,000 acres of government
land are set aside.
An electric fish dlverter placed in
operaiton at the Gold Ray dam on
the Rogue river for the purpose of
sending salmon up stream has been
reported to Harold Clifford, state
game warden, by Shirley Baker, en
gineer, as being a pronounced suc
cess. The salmon, previously flock
ed in great numbers to a tall race
which went around the dam and
failed to go upstream. The dlverter
was installed at the confluence of
the stream and the race and now
the salmon are going over the dam.
The installation was made May 12,
with the federal government the
state game department and the Cal
ifornia Oregon Power company cooperating.
