He attended the land and apple show at that place and said that the apple show was held in a separate building and but a small portion of the crowd took much inter est in the apples. The land show was big attraction. The O. R. & N. Co. had an exhibit of half a dozen boxes of apples from the different sections of Oregon in the land show building, but the main apple exhibit, including the Sproat car of Spitzenburgs, was held in a separate building. The principal interest was in the land show. It was visited by thousands of people, who are interested in the Pacific North west. The most of the inquiries, said Mr. Edwards, came from the city people. Not many of the farmers of the east and middle west could be in terested in the high priced lands of this country. They could not believe the stories of the big returns from a small acreage. The clerks, business and professional men of the city, how ever, were looking up the matter, and Mr. Edwards believes many of them will be out here next year to investi gate for themselves.

On a recent visit to the Oregon In dustrial School, we were told by the superintendent that there were at least twenty boys in that institution that should not be in a school of correction. A prosecuting attorney of the Wil lamette Valley county also said that he was constantly sending boys to this school who were not bail, but were in need of oversight and there was no place else to send them. It is a well known fact that many boys are sent to a reformatory simply because they are not wanted in the home. Often on a charge of incorrigibility the child is sent from home and must carry through life the stigma of having been in a reformatory. There came under my observation the case of a divoroed wrap and mail your Xmas V I mother who wanted to give away her two boys, six and eight years of age, that she might be free to marry again. In the above-mentioned visit to the reform school I asked a boy, who by his shy manner attracted me, where his home was. 1 shall never forget the lonesome, homesick look in his eyes as he said: " have no home now. I used to live In Baker City, but my mother has gone east and left me." In the name of these wronged children I protest. It is unfair to put a child who has done no wrong into a reformatory. Th re should be a bet ter place for him. There should be a school where these boys could be placed under Christian teaching and trained for useful citizenship. Such a school would not be a reformatory, but a formatory. Some one has said that it is better to build a hedge at the top of a precipice than to build a hos pital at its base. So the host way to reform a bad boy is to keep him from becoming bad. A company of Christian men might form a corporationand combine business and philanthropy in the purchase of a triict of land which, properly culti vated, would pay a reasonable rate of interest on the investment and at the same time provide a self-sustaining school. Here boys would be saved from becoming undesirable members of society by being placed in a Chris tian environment and taught ' the dignity of work. After the manner of "Boyville," the "citizens" would be taught the duties and privileges of citizenship. Only eternity would reveal the far reaching results of such an institution. Rev. T. S. Handsaker. Mid-Columbia Basketball League.
