Tlli'liiSDAY, AI'Klli 'M, 1H14 TIIK FARM EXPERT Woodland (t range, of Multnomah County lias gone on ivoord as "being unalterably op posed to the appointing of a farm expert by the County Commissioners." It was not ex pected that such si lack of knowledge of exist ing conditions would make its appearance in that locality. Xo doubt every line of that re presented by the Orange, would welcome the appointment of an expert in its lines, and prob ably numerous individual business men ex pend many millions of dollars in endeavoring to improve their business learning. Not so with the Grangers, however, for they evident ly consider that they know it all. The same question is under discussion in nearly every state in the Union, and it is pro ven beyond a doubt that the work of the ex pert pays from a financial standpoint; that everywhere the farmers are taking kindly to the agent and find him helpful, and that the businessmen approve the work of the expert as helpful to the whole country. . In one in stance the expert selected a carload of dairy cattle for the farmers, and so well pleased were they ordered another through him. In another certain crops in a neighborhood did not do so well, and the expert determined the difficulty by testing the soil. In a third in stance the expert ascertained that consider able loss was beng made in the operation of cream separators, in one instance the loss be ing at the rate of more than $100 per annum. This was at once remedied. Again an expert reduced the cost of feeding a dairy herd 50 per cent without reducing the income, and in an other increased the income $10 per day with out increasing the cost of feed. Anil so on down the line. The above instances are cited from differ ent communities, and could no doubt be mul tiplied many times over. The present day farmer has got to be up to "snuff" anil th live ones are fully aware of the advantages to be gained by getting the assistance of the ex pert. The Examiner Farm has sought expert advice from all the neighbors, and yet has not found one that thought he "knew it all." The owner has even gone so far as to write to experts for advice, and yet he feels that he ic likely to make numerous errors that could be avoided were thf personal services of an ex pert to be had. "Von Moltko used to pny-that he had work ed out three different detailed plans for the invasion of England by a Ccrman army, but he never could contrive of a plan for getting the army back again. A stroke of a pen can send an army into Mexico! How many strokes of the sword will be needed to keep it thore." CO-OPERATION 0A1NIX0 HEADWAY From Klamath County comes the latest story of co-operative activity. And according to that story, co-operation among the farmers in that section of the common wealth is to take tin ambitious" proportions. Produce market ing, grain elevators, a Hour mill, meat-packing, a co operative creamery and the establishment of a mercantile concern to give the farmers the benefit of co-operative buying all these are included in the outline of the plan. If the Klamath County fanners can make that pro gramme go they will give the policy of co-operation a boost in tnis state that will fairly put it on its feet. There is no apparent reason why success should not attend co-operation in dairying, in the mercantile establishment, in the market ing of produce and possibly in the storing and marketing of grain. These activities in the co-operative 3onse have been successfully con ducted elsewhere in this country, and the same is true of co-operation in the marketing of meat animals. But the packing plant and the flouring mill are virtually experiments and the outcome of them may be regarded as more than dubious. It may be said, however, that the proposal of these bespeaks the proper ambi tion, and the hope is that enthusiasm does not out run the capabilities of business unity among the fanners. GETTING THE NEWS The public has kindly applauded the effici ent way in which the Examiner has kept it supplied with news concerning late develop ments in the Mexican situation. At a considerable expense the Examiner ar ranged for Associated Press report. The events in Mexico and at the National Capital are covered by a number of correspondents stationed at all strategic points. The arrange ment is so that whenever any thing important develops in the trouble center, u bulletin of the same will be received promptly at this offi ce. If it is only of passing importance a in the past few days the same will be posted on the bulletin board in front of the office, but should the event be of grave importance an ex tra would immediately be issued giving1 the people the news. This service will 1m continu ed throughout this week or longer should con ditions warrant. We mention these things to show that when ever anything big is going on, the Examiner is so equipped and stands ready, regardless of expense, to give the people all and more than can be expected of a country weekly. WHAT WOULD IT MEAN? Speaking of intervention of the United States in Mexico, Colonel George P. Harvey, Professor of Government, Harvard, ends a lengthy article in these words: "Allowing that intervention should begin when and how is it to end? That is a ques tion of more significance to us tlian to Mexi cans. Excellent military authorities think that a force of J)0,()00 nn-n would not be too large for the purpose, which would be by far the largest army ever moved from one country to another in America. And when woould that country be able to take care of itself again? Sixteen years we have been civilizing the Fili pinos up to the point where they are now un animous only in one thing, namely, that they want us to leave. Nothing less than a similar experience of education in language, science and self govern men t would much effect the disposition of the Mexican people. "Supposing that our physical means are suf ficient for the task of holding down Mexico, 'have we not enough race and color questions already? Are we so far advanced in the amal gamation of European races? Much nearer to us than the Mexicans are in culture and stand-: w&s that we can undertake a similar task at long range upon an unwilling people? Is Cuba so certain to remain a dependency instead of to become an integral part of the United States, that we can take a problem many times more difficult? Have we been so successful in the fair treatment and civilization of our 300,000 , Indians that we wish to be responsible for 14, 000,000 more? Is the government of Boston, New York and Philadelphia so firmly estab lished on principles of truth and righteousness that we can now transfer our energies to the uplift of Tampico and Mazatland and the City of Mexico. DO IT NOW The last day for registration for those who expect to vote at the primaries is May 1, which is next Friday. It is manifest that those who expect to vote at the primaries had better hur ry up and register if they have not already done so. Remarkable to relate there has been light registration all over the state. What is the reason for this apparent apathy? Is it possible the general public is indifferent to a county, district, state and Federal election? There are county officials to elect and state officials, mem bers of the Legislature, who will vote for Uni ted States Senator, there is a United States Senator to elect and three Congressmen. Why then this great indifference when there are so many high offices to filll? People complain of high taxes and denounce those who are apparently responsible for them. But most of them take it out in growling. It seems to be too much trouble to register and vote for those people who will give them or promise to give the relief that they ask for. There is little time left for the neglectful ones; tomorrow is the last day. The efforts lo make a preliminary record for economy on the part of many of the can didates is rather amusing. In every instance the saving is to be made by rejecting or modi fying measures recommended by the "other fellow." And while Governor West is not an avowed candidate at this time, yet he is tak ing a hand in the economical proposition, but he can find nothing to save in any of the mea sures advocated by himself in the past or acts performed during his administration. His op Xionents, however, are differently minded, and together with some of his admirers are of the opinion that he is in a way living in a glass house. The Business Man .f:V At v HE. IIHTIIHR he be merchant, hanker, or of the professions, uses care in the se lection of his clothes he chooses the best. And in more instances than the first thought would prompt yon to believe the clothes he wears are Hart Schaffncr & Marx made. The styles in men's suits for Spring and Summer wear show the usual marked distinction borne out in II. S. & M. Clothes an individuality of style a care in' workmanship and caution in the selection of fabrics.

He is working from the south to the north and has completed Ills work up to a short distance from the ice cave. A number of settlers here intend to look over the survey this week and pick out the best route.

The company has many orders awaiting them. Tuesday morning K. 8. Miles lessee of the I.ake County Telegraph & Telephone Co. lines went to Lake view and swore out information againtt R. A. Hurrower of this place charging him with obstructing the line upon the Townslte Co. property north of town. Mr. narrower took down some newly erected poles etc. under the belief that the telephone company had no right upon the land. It dovelopcd later that they had such right there and consequently when the matter was brought to trial in the justice court Mr. narrower waived examination and was bound over to the Crand Jury.
