is not dangerously insane, he should be released from custody.

it would settle the Mexican question. Of course, it has a definite

SAVING THE BEEF HERDS.
WITH the courage of their convictions, the Commercial club
of Aberdeen, Washington, has voted that in the future
no veal or calve's liver shall be served in its dining
room, or placed upon any of the club's menus. Recog
nizing in the demand of the American people for veal, the cause
for much of the diminution of the beef supply of the country,
with the resulting high price of, meat generally, these business
men have taken a decided stand which their fellow tradesmen
over the country might well afford to copy.
The cattle shortage in the United States today is estimated at
18,000,000 head. This alarming condition, at the present rate
of decrease in beef herds the nation over, promises only to grow
more aggravated. It is apparent the country is facing a prob
lem, the solution of which prom ises to grow more aggravated.
As an example, beef steers sold in Portland yesterday at $8.25
per hundred ponuds in a carload lot.
The great consumption of veal,' while not the only cause for
the beef shortage, is admitted to have very much to do with it.
This demand seems to profit no one, to be a benefit neither to
the cattle raiser, packer, retailer or consumer. It is primarily
just another type of American extravagance, a wastefulness of
more serious consequences than almost any other of our prodi
gal habits.
One of the bills that will be introduced at the next session of
the legislature, and perhaps the first one, will have for its ob
ject the changing of the registration laws requiring women to
give their age when registering. It will be among the first bills,
because the legislators will want to please the ladies, and this
will do it. While mere male man takes a good deal of pleasure
in poking fun at women for being touchy about their age, there
is a realj reason behind it, especially with the, women who are
employed in the department stores and similar work. Such wo
men say that the store wants young women, and if they know
a woman is above a certain age they will not employ her. If
she can get employment,' she may hold it despite her age, for if
she once gets employment and understands her work she will be
kept. The trouble is. in getting employment in the first place.
It is for this reason that many of the women object to hnving
their ages known, and the reason seems to be a good one.
The Rock Island railroad is certainly a slow one, if the suit
filed against it has any foundation. Some Colorado stockmen
allege that in 1908 they shipped 22331 lambs over the road,
which were to be delivered at Stockdale, 111., and from there
marketed. It is alleged that the lambs grew into sheep with a
good wool crop on them, and that the railroad company made
no attempt to market them, but, on the contrary, kept them, and
finally sold part of them for $08,9:16, which the company kept
for feeding them, and that many of the lot died, presumably of
old age, while in the company's possession.
The bureau of universal statistics has announced its 1912 fig
ures. Among the revelations were the following: Asia's popu
lation is 933,000,000; Europe's 481,000,000, Africa's 188,000,
000, America's 187,000,000 and Oceania's 57,000,000, a total
of 1,819,000,000 for the world, or 110,000,000 increase in four
years. The world commerce is handled in 47,714 steamships
and 55,802 sailing vessels and amounts to $10,000,000,000.
There are 025,000 miles of railronds. The world's national
debts total is $41,900,000,000.
John Lowe, accused of violating the Mann white slave traffic
net, and now on trial in the United States court at Portland, is
a foxy one. While he is credited with being usually one of the
best dressed men in the country, so soon as he was arrested he
begnn wearing workingmen's clothes, and appears at his trial
poorly dressed, in order to create sympathy. This dodge on his
part has been thoroughly shown up and it will probably prove a
boomerang. When arrested four or five fine suits were found in
his room.

shows that there were seven nights of

Fortunately for this country the rain
fall was more than usual last month anil,
although the present month is way be
low average in precipitation, the ground
still contains an abundance of moisture.
Ju lilKl the precipitation in February

Tho report shows that while the weather
was cloudy every day in tho month,
littlo rain fell and the temperature was
rather wnrm. The moan minimum
temperature however, was cool, being
33 degrees for the month.
In February, 1910, there woro three
days in which tho grounds was covered
with snow, the menu minimum tempera
turo dropping down to S2.8 degrees and
the tot ill precipitation amounting to
4.112 inches. Tho records kept prior to
that year showed thnt the precipitation
ranged nil the way from 4 to 8,7 inches
