He is a railroad builder not a wrecker; a railroad man who believes in railroads building ahead of the country and doing their indispensable part towards developing it. His plan to connect the widely separated sections of Lastern Oregon has been dreamed by others, but it was only a dream. Mr. Strahorn is in a fair way to make that dream a reality. Eastern Oregon has been looked upon for years as fitted only lor cattle and sheep raising, and utterly un fitted for agriculture, on account of the insufficient rain fall. Some of Uncle Sam's agricultural experts have as sisted materially in giving' it this reputation. They had never had any experience under similar conditions, and hence as a matter of protecting their reputations turned it down. ' The Imperial Valley in California, now one of the most productive spots on the earth, was delayed in settlement TREAT PIMPLES AND REDNESS WITH - POSLAM Poslam supplies precisely the cura tive influences to which inflamed and irritated skin is usually inclined to yield. The- comfort that eomes with relief in the cessation of the awful itching is especially welcome, and the iinilue redness of the skin often re sponds to Poslam over night. . Thousands today know of the effi ciency of Poslam in the treatment of Eczema, Acne, Herpes, Rash, Pimples, Itch, Scaly-Scalp awt kindred dis eases. As to soap for the jkin Poslam Soap excels in rich, wholesome qualities. Try daily, one month, for Toilet and Bath.

Colonel Harris Weinstock, one ot the commis sioners, stated that: "the commission's estimate showed that 90 per cent of the rural ventures within the last five years have been failures." , This is not all encouraging to the great agricultural and horticultural state south of us, and it may well cause an investigation of conditions in this state.

If T'l lesser degree, but at present there are no statistics and! ber of Commerce building, a parade headed by McElroy s no information by which they can be measured, proved or disproved. The Willamette valley is one of the richest anywhere and the same may be said of the valleys west of the Cas cades generally, and it would seem that the farmers in these favored localities, should be prosperous if any are. For some years Oregon lands have been advertised and boosted as the best and most prolific in the world, and the whole idea was to attract immigration and settlement. The statements as to soil, climate and productiveness were generally true, yet returns to those buying the lands band and exercises at exposition, Mayor Albee and others will speak and the county officials will be present, but not as an exniDi. Will some of the wise ones who insist there is no such thing as luck, kindly explain what it was that made the little waif, abandoned by his parents, the adopted son of the Shepards? Was it good management on his part? If it wasn't luck, good or bad, what was it? P-y.flnJ marriage of Mr. and Airs. Jos Rondeau and K streets Sunday.

A strike of 1:J(K) employes of the Schenectady, N. Y., General Electric company, that has been on since October :!, was settled Saturday, the men returning to work. They have been working 10 hours, but now get IHo and a 5 per cent raise in wages, and after October 4, li)ll, they will get another 5 per cent raise and work only 9 hours. Evidently the company does not pay its men on the Kilowatt system, but insists on a flat rate. Some of the literary censors might take a crack at the Cosmopolitan Magazine. Most of its continued stones preach the doctrines of "Free Love" and the "Get Rich Quick Wallingford" tales all indorse crooked financial dealing. That once loading magazine is getting to be decidedly unfit for family reading. As the Germans are the most kind hearted of people, such happenings as the execution of Miss Edith CJavell must be attributed to the rigid military system.
