Secretary Wilson has asked the De partment of Commerce and Labor to ascertain through the Consular service suitable markets for marcaroni wheat, a hard grain common in some European countries and crops of which are in creasing rapidlv in the United States. Secretary Wilson says the macaroni wheat yield in this country this year, acconding to the most commonly ac cepted estimate, is 10,000,000 bushels, against 2,000,000 bushels a year ago, and predicts that next year’s crop will be 25,000,000 bushels. present contracts are completed a period of waiting will ensure. It will be a waiting for the general labor situation to settle down, and the end of the factional wars and strikes that have almost destroyed confidence in building. * * * The Washington correspondent of the Oregonian says: When one-fourth of the area of the Stale of Oregon, includ ing some of its most valuable lands, has been withdrawn from all form of settle ment and entry, with the intention of ultimately making these withdrawals permanent, it is time for the people of that great commonwealth to pause and consider the situation which confronts them. Such a time is the present. Such an issue has been raised. Its settlement is the question of but a few yeais. Are the people of Oregon to be heard in their own behalf ? Are their wishes to be re spected, or are the fancies of theorists to be carried out regardless of the demand of an educated and enlightened public? Are the people of the state to have a voice in the disposal of its vast public domain, or are their demands to be set aside, their protests unheeded their re quests totally ignored ? These questions must soon be answered. The crisis is fast approaching. The result is purely problematical. State Normal School. Normal course the best and quickes Fall term opens September 22nd.

Tailor, Tillamook ) Some of our contemporaries are la ■¡i menting the fact that the exports of cheese have greatly fallen offin the last few years. We see our reason to lament this fact. The production has not in creased in that time, while our popula tion has greatly increased and consumes that portion of cheese that was formerly exported. In the palmy days, when the volume of cheese exports was at its height, there was a practice among the creameries that were then running of taking off most of the cream from the milk and using the partially skimmed milk for the manufacture of cheese, FOR and much of this was sent abroad and gave poor satisfaction and des troyed the reputation of American cheese.
