Tha ex penditure are being made under tha dlrec Hon of the Bo wd of Public 1-ends and Buildings.

Zlmrl Dwigglna, state agent for the Aetna Life Insurance company and a well known cltlaen, died at I a. m. today at his home, 23$ South Twenty-seventh street, follow ing a stroke of apoplexy. Of late Mr. Dwigglna haa been In poor health, but yesterday he was cheerful and when he retired last night at hla usual hour, remarked that he was feeling much better than he had for some time. He soon sank Into a troubled sleep, but later awoke. He wes restless and dosed off several times and finally. Just before t 'clock, he re ceived the stroke that a few minutes later caused his death. v His wife, who wss with him from the first, notified other members of tha family after Mr. Dwigglna had been stricken and a physician was summoned. However, be fore the doctor' arrived theaffllcted man expired. The members of the family were i at his side when the end came. During the vehlng Mr. Dwigglna had com plained of a pain In one arm, but this wss not unusual and aome vigorous rubbing re lieved this. The most notable part of Mr. Dwiggins' career was his connection with the Colum- bla National bank of Chicago, organised j In 1887. This bank became' the head of a string embracing thirty or forty smaller Institutions scattered over Indiana and Illinois. When the panic of 1893 came on, the Columbia went down and with It went the smaller banks. Up to that time Mr. Dwiggins was a wealthy man, having built up a fortune previously In the banking buslnesa in Indiana. After the failure, Mr. Dwigglna and his family moved to Stgnn Lake. Ia., where he engaged In the real estate business and sold plows. While there he. became an agent for the Aetna Life Insurance com pany, and In 1SS7 he moved to Cedar Rapids, where he helped to organise agencies in that part of the state. In 1899 Mr. Dwiggins came to Lincoln aa atate agent for the company, which position he has filled ever since. It Is not known who will be Mr. Dwig gins' successor as state agent for the Aetna. His son. Frank P. Dwiggins. was not asaociated with him In the agency for that company, but has been managing an accident company, which his father helped organise last fall. iseakers for Brraa Dlaaer. t The list of speakers for the democratic dollar dinner at: Lincoln, January 16, given In honor of William J.

COUNTRY LIFE - IN OREGON This Coaatry la Prodigal ta Mea Cllaaato aad Rich Sell Agricul tural Prod acta Make It Ideal. This country is prodigal to men. climate and rich soil. Agricultural products make It Ideal. When we speak of country -life a vision floats through our minds of green fields, waving orchards, sweet peace and plenty, all aglow with a dream of the delights and comfort of the home on tbe farm, a dream delusive in some lands, but not In Oregon. Oregon Is pre-eminently the country peo ple's paradise. Not alone In the charm of green fields and waving orchards, a reality In the Oregon man's experience, but the beauty of the hills la his also and more the grandeur of the mountains with peaks mantled In eternal enow. The spreading maple and oak and towering evergreen pines are often within the rang of his vision. Streams of crystal water and rush ing rivers enhance tb exquisite beauty of the landscape upon 'which th dweller in the country home In Oregon daily feasts bis eyes. Nor Is the dream of sweet pesos and plenty an Ignis fatuus. The wealth of the orchard, field and meadow ar his and plenty is his portion. In the midst of this abundance, beauty and grandeur thtre m itt be contentment and peace ia contentment's twin sister. The delights and comforts of a home on the farm, too, are his. The land owner in Oregon does not leave his farm to the care of tenants, with ft shack for them to dwell In, and hie away to the city and make for himself a home there, but remains the tiller of his own soil and builds a home of con venience and comfort, which gives delight to all Its occupants. Oregon la prodigal In her gifts to man. Not least of these Is a most productive soli, which never falls to yield ft full re ward to well directed vegetation. This make jJi versified farming possible, which alone Is a great boon to tha farmer. The climate is another of Oregon's rich bequeasts, both In mildness and salubrity. The man In the country may erect bis buildings without thought of the possi bility of their being whisked off their foun dations by a cyclone, nor does he hare to supplement his home with a dug-out, aa a place of refuge should these mad swirls of the wind sweep over his farm, nor must be build to protect himself, and stock as well, from months of f reeling cold and deep snow; nor drouth, nor heat of summer must he consider. The humid winters, the moderate cool springs and autumns and the balmy summers come and go and the climatic change from one to the other Is only sufficiently noticeable to give variety to the aeasons and make life a comfort and Joy, secure from the dread of fierce ravagea of tha elements. This genial climate and rich soli' Is not only conducive to great productiveness of almost every kind of vegetable, but con tributes toward the highest kind of excel lence. Oregon haa carried off more gold medals for Its agricultural products at the world exposition than any other state In the union, or any country In tha world. Her applea are of such excellence that the cromned heads In tha old world seek them, and it is whispered about here in Oregon that tha king of England, the emperor of Germany and tba csar of Russia will have none other than Oregon applea on their table. Though this rumor haa not beea of ficially confirmed, there Is not ft farmer In Oregon who doubts 1L While th climate and aoll untteto pro duce the best, the people do not depend upon these alon to bring their product to the highest degree of perfection, but ex erciae diligent car and apply all th knowledge science fo far has Imparted on the matter of farm production, demonstrate tng that In Oregon tha man In thecountry la keeping In line with the moat advanced thought In hla work. This awakening to th fact that hla calling has a scientific basis changes the attitude of his mind toward his vocation and he justly places It on ft par with the ao-called learned pro fessions, and, too, he knows that la re spect to the needs of humanity hla calling standa pre-emintly above all othera, in fact, is the very foundation upon which all others rest, and self-respect and Inde pendence ar established In his mind. H has learned he true dignity of labor. This respect for himself and hla work brgeta a respect for all others in the same call ing and through common Interests a unity of feeling Is born as well. Therefore' there exists a harmony and a social equality amobg the farmers that breathea of purest democracy and sheds over country Ufa in Orrgoa aa inexpressible charm. One ef tha greatest factors ia promoting trie well beir.g of tha country peoja in Oregon, besides what nature haa- bp 1 v Ishly bestowed. Is the Grange. This or ganisation Is one of th strongest In the state, having about 7.000 members, and these the bone and sinew of the land. Since In union there is strength, the coun try people working unitedly through the Grange have been able to exert a marked Influence upon legislation in th state. The Initiative and referendum owes its exist ence more to the Orange than to any other Influence. , The country people, relieved of the stress and atraln of city life, have more time for reading and quiet reflection and are there fore better prepared to consider advisedly th questions of legislation upon various subject. They never fall to support tbe most salutary measures. In th cause of temperance they have everted great in fluence. Tbe counties where local option obtains are the counties that have the largest country votes, It has been ft matter of deep concern among the farmers that the county In which the Agricultural col lege ia situated, Benton, ahold be free from the saloon elements, and tbe curse of tbe liquor traffic haa been removed. In matters of education the country peo ple are derusr rjr the best tbe times af ford. Good r: cl houses are the rule, High school privileges ar called for that the children of the country within th en vironments may remain horn during their tender years. The Agricultural college Is the country people's school and the number of students in attendance a hows their ap preciation of thla opportunity to give their sons and daughters the advantagea of col lege training. Of the 1,000 students In at tendance most of them ar from the farms. and be It said a large majority of these return to the farm when their course Is completed. That the college may be of the greatest possible benefit to the country people, short courses in agriculture, dairy ing, horticulture, domestic science and arts and mechanical arts are arranged for those who cannot take a full collegiate eourre. The college haa also a special course to pre pare teacher for the country schools, that they may be able to give Instructions In the science of the cultivation of plants and subjects pertaining to country life that the children may be educated toward farm and not from It, as in the past. School gardening Is already ft feature of the country schools and whether the gar dens be on the school grounds or at the homes, much interest Is being taken In the work by the pupils. On of the best and most Interesting displays at the country fairs are the flowers snd vegetables raised by the children In their school gardens. The mention of the country fair Intro duces another delightful feature of country life In Oregon, for through them is mani fest the neighborhood harmony of Interest and good fellowship. As a social phase of country life, they are moat charming. In the artistic arrangement of the dainty needle work, paintings and drawings, the elaborate display of flowers, fruits and vegetables Is a clear manifestation of the refined and cultivated taste of the country people. And In all thla effort to bring to public notice the products of their farms and homes there la a spirit of th highest loyalty to their state, a specie of patriot ism that la a ur support to a republican government. To their state and to their country these tillers of the soil have given the best of themselves In bringing to bear upoa their work their beat abilities and energies. So long as such people inhabit the country places will this country sur vive. No amount of stock gambling or made speculations can ever destroy It. The fields and the meadows, the garden and orchard are Indeed aubjecta of Interest to tha lovers of th. country, but it is around the home on th. farm that the ten derest thoughts cluster. While In the'clty, kunder th degenerating Influence the flat and tha boarding house have upon domes tic life, the home sentiment may be wan ing. Ia the country, however, through Im proved condition, it gains. As the city mother has stepped down from bar throne, perlia pa to stand behind the counter or sit at a desk In an office, from necessity or otherwise, tha mother in the country Is still enthroned, the halo about her grow ing brighter and her realm widening. Th Introduction of Improved appliance in do mestic economy, th many . labor-saving Inventions, and th taking out of tha coun try home the making of many things once supplied try home manufacture ony has left the farmer's wife with enough leisure time to devote to self-culture, that haa placed her condition far above that of the woman on tha farm a generation ago. and the return of her sons and daughters from college has Infused into the home life a deeper culture and refinement, and with three com higher ideals and higher stand ards of living. The country home in Ore gon Is no longer the abode of lgnarauoe and unoouthness. In dress, as In manners, th country peo ple have made narked advancement In all these ways, farm Ufa Is dignified and tha Ur.ej enee-drawa wtth sach dist!nctn between tha rural and tha urban are find ing the-denizens of tb country placed upon Try them for lunch and you will have them for dinner.

The notorious country Jake has vanished, and with him. Mary Ann, in her pink calico drees, where nobody knows, but certainly not to any spot in Oregon, however se questered. In architecture, the houses in the coun try are not pretentious, but are built for comfort and convenience. By the use of windmills, hydraulic rama or small gaso line engines, water is pumped from deep bored wells to the tops of the houses and conveyed throughout In pipes, thereby sup plying a .water system equal to any In the cities, which not only supplies the house, but furnishes water for- the yard, making it possible to have well kept lawns and flower gardens, Th home are generally well furnished, but few Indeed are without a musical In strument of some sort, often a piano, and phonographs are not uncommon. Carriages and good driving horses ar almost uni versal, and many farmers own auto mobiles. Church privileges are not wanting In this wen ordered country life. Union churches are erected and the pulpits are supplied by ministers of the various denominations at regular appointments. , Well organised Sunday schools are kept up In most places. Neither Is th public library entirely wanting. Many of the country. schools and als)Bunday schools have made a begin ning toward collecting books for libraries; circulating libraries are also in vogue. Telephones are In jnost of the homes in the country; the farmers owning their own lines, but have connection 'with the regular lines for the benefit of long distance.' An urgent demand Is being made for more rural trolley lines. One of the Incentives for this desire, on the part of the country people, la that these lines will facilitate the upbuilding of rural high schools. Rural mall delivery Is common; due much to the agitation of the women, who felt the need of being brought In closer touch with ths great centers through the daily news papers and the periodicals. For many yeara the making of roads in Oregon was much a matter of experiment. Since forest trees were within easy reach of almost every part of the state and in great abundance about one-sixth, of the timber In the United St a tea being in Oregon It was prodigally used in making plsnk roads, especially In the coast counties. Experience haa taught the people that bet ter and more enduring roads can be made of less valuable material and out of this good roads are being constructed. The geographical position, the soil, the climate, the temper of the people the business prospects and future, the educa tional advantages all make Oregon the most desirable place in all the world for those who seek to establish a home in the country. Here the highest ideals of country life can be realised. Here the most exalted place for the future and the highest am bitions may be carried out. Parents bringing their families to this state may know that the future of their children can be arranged for with unfailing certainty: Let all who desire to found a home where prosperity Is assured and In a community where morality, honesty and Industry are the keynotes of life, come to Oregon and secure far themselves and their posterity the Joy, the benefits and blessings of "Country Life In Oregon."
