JIM HILL ENLIGHTENS PORTLAND. A ND NOW COMES the Oregon Journal and tells iU rcadors about the wonderful discovery made by Jim Hill, who, in a speech at Portland recently pointed out to tho gaping crowd of Portland "empire builder" worshippers, that farmers were necessary to tho world. He told the astonished listeners that the farmers fed the world, that the more farm ers raise, the more foodstuffs there were for the consumers, that if the farm ers did not grow anything, business generally would bo sadly hampered, that the farmer was the groundsill of prosperity, and a whole lot of stuff of that kind, all of which was of course trno, and most of which has .been common knowledge since Cain was first a tiller of the soil. However, from the way the Portland newspapers absorbed this "information" it would not bo fcuspeeted that thoy ever heard of it before Mr. Hill kindly told them that when a crop was takoii from the farm another could be grown on tho same land, and the crowd went Into raptures over this startling information. It was indeed good news. He also told his dovotees that whon coal was taken from a mine, that no more grew there, that only a hole was loft. This caused some uneasiness, which was increased by tho information that ore takon from a mine was also gone forever. This almost brought toars. This was only a starter whon tho old farinor-of-industrics got wanned up he told his astonished hearers that if every farmer in the world would raise twice as much stuff to the acre as ho did now, that there would be twice as much farm products, and that if they doubled thoir yield and planted as many acres, thoy would also have 1,000,000 bushels where thoy only had 500,000 bushols before. The reporters got it all down and the editors played it all up, and some of thorn even went so far as to say: "nor is there any challenge to Mr, Hill." Then one of the editors gets enthusiastic ond dolivers himself of this de scription of the wondorful discovery of the farmer and what figuros would do for him: "For a long time ho rummaged history, swept hero and thore over the earth and marshalled indisputable facts with which to impress upon his. audi ence the tremendous import of a successful agriculture in Orogon. Mr. Hill is unanswerable. The ton billion dollars worth of agricultural products in tho United States in 1012, aro ton billion proofs of tho soundness of his position. Agriculture is king. Tho sheet anchor of the republic Is in our farms." Wo are glud indeed that at leiist 0110 Portland editor tins learned that ag riculture is the basis of prosperity. Others of his ilk have thought it was tho. tariff, but this Idea, thanks to the beneficent teachings of Jim Hill, will now be abandoned. However, Hill hns boon making this speech so long that ho almost believes ho is really tolling the people something. Ho delivered the same address 15 years ago, and warnod the people then that whon coal was taken from th mine, it would not grow a second crop, just as he did to the Portland people Monday. It would have been worth seeing, though, to have had a. sido glimpse of the old promoter's face as ho solemnly told his audience: " No one can long doceive tho public; you deceive only yourselves whon 'you think so." This statement coming from so great an authority was readily cwallowod, for with the statements so self evidently trno that (he old man had sprung on thorn, tho audience really believed him, though ho wan giving the gang taffy and deceiving them when ho pokod that naked statement at them. Wo recommend to our readers that they read Mr. Hilt's pnrado of plntitudos in the Portland papers and then digest the whole gob of Hill's mental pabulum if they can. Now horo is another phase of Jim Hill's philanthropy, another sjiecimcn of his "empire building." In this tamo speech ho told the city dwellers that the price of Agricultural lands iu Oregon was too high. That ha was doing all he could to induco Immigration over his lines, of course and that ho wns handicapped in his philanthropic efforts by hard hearted land owners who hold their lands too high, and so kept intending settlers from coming to Oregon, Tho city men should use thoir bctit offorts to induce tho land owners to ro lueo the prices of thoir lands so as to assist in populating tho state. Of course ho took no note of the work the fanners liavo put in in bringing thoir lands under cultivation, or of tho life time spent in doing so. He wants tho prices cut down to benefit tho newcomers, but ho i not cutting rnilroad rates either on passengers or freight to induce Immigration. Ho is taking all ho can get and doing his best to fool the people into helping pull inoro chestnuts from tho fire for his consumption. While talking about cheap Inmls, he did not mention that the Hilt family has some 800,01)0 acres of Oregon Ian. In that It Is not put ting on the market at any price, Whyt Itoenjso by holding them until othors settling on adjacent binds adit to thoir vnlui, tho Hill family will get more solid coin for the lauds they have dono nothing towards improving or making more valnnble, , Iunds cannot bo sold for more than people aro willing to pay for them, and the fanner and land owner may with good grace tell the mighty Jim to go to. He proliiibly wouldn't go, unless ho could riilu on his own road, and the place suggested is not among tho empire Hill has built. Tho reason for all tho Hill dissertation on agriculture is that he wants the farms cut up into small hold ings and tho country densely populated for the one purpose of gaining more trade for the Hilt roads, and ho would do this at tho cxkiiso of tho farmers and land owners or any one else, if he could, Just so long as it could be done without cost to him or others of the Hill famllv.

The Republican leaders in Washington are congratulating themselves over the fact that the election returns show tho Democrats are not iu the majority and that if all the Progressives will just get in and vote with the Bepublicans that party will have a nice little majority, However, there is just that one thing in the way of perfect content with the situation, and -that is that the ' Progressives do not seem inclined to como into the fold in a solid body.

Local agent, J. I.'. Perry. Wifo, sed Ta to Ma last nite, do you remember that magazeen editor thnt was up to the house for dinner about two months ago? Indeed I do, sed Ma,, Ho was cer tainly a chtrming gentleman. I re member distincktly what charming man ners he had. They was porfect. I didn't pay much attenshun to his manners, sed Pa, I doant thing it is any .grunt credit' for a man to eat with his fork. A man is supposed to havo manners, tho snim as he is supposed to pay his way. What I am getting at was this: Do you remember the argu ment ho & mo had about versef I doant think I do, Bed Ma. You are always having a argument with snmbody. If it isent about verse it is about something else. What was the argument t Welt sed Pa, I maintained that tho poetry in tho leeding newspaiers was much better as a rule than the poetry iu tho magazeens. The maga-roen editor scoffed at tho ido, sed Pa. lie sed that tho stuff printed iu the ninguznous wns pure poetry & that tho stuff printed in the pniers was nothing but ded dog gerel. Well, what of it- sed Mo. What of it F sed Pa. Everything of it. Why, sed Ta, if tho newspsiper poetry is ded dok gerel, tho stuff I sea in tho magnzeens is ded mnckarol.
