RESULTS ARE IN EVIDENCE Dr. AVlthycombe Says Correspon dence at Agricultural College Has Doubled Since First Lecture Train Went Out. GLENDALE, Or.. March 23. (Special.) Big crowds greeted the Farmers' Spe cial at every Btop today on its tnipi through Southern. Oregon. Schools were dismissed at all points visited, business houses were closed and bands greeted the train. Nothing could show a sreater Interest In the work of the demonstration , train. 'Profoundly satisfactory," was the statement of C. A. Malboeuf, repre senting the freight department of the Southern Pacific tonight, who says 16.300 people have visited the train during the past two days. At Central Point, the first stop today. 3110 visitors Inspected the train and showed great interest In the lectures and exhibits. This was an early-morning stop, and It was not thought many would turn out. but this favored fruit section was intent on learning better methods of growing fruit and raising poultry. All Business Is Suspended. Sold Hill, the next stop, turned out 7S0 people, who appreciated the value of the school on wheels. Grants Pass was, of course, the big stop of the day, and 3700 people attended the demonstrations. The school children marched through the cars, and business in the Josephine coun ty seat was entirely suspended during the time the train was In the city. Merlin and Wolf Creek were the last .stops today, and about 300 people saw the train at these two noints. The train then ran to Glendale. where the first demonstration will be given tomorrow. Tonight the Glendale Commercial Club gave the visitors a reception and ban quet, at which mutual felicitations were exchanged on the success of the trip. The people of Glendale .expressed their epprectation of the work of the train, and their guests showed their gratification at the Interest taken. Poultry Is Center of Interest. The poultry exhibit continues a very Interesting feature of the train, and thousands of people dally show their de llaht at the complete showing. Professor James Dryden, poultry husbandman In charge, is emphasizing the need of giv ing chickens a chance to scratch. On the farm he says fowls usually are af forded an opportunity, but In small yards he insists that a chance be given "them for exercise. "Although no complete status-tics are ob tainable, it Is safe to say that during the past year Oregon produced poultry and eggs to the value of iS.ono.OOO," said he today. "The northern counties have ex tended their poultry Industry to a greater extent than has Southern Oregon. How ever, this section Is taking up the poultry industry In earnest, and there Is a great future for It here. Nitrogen Returned to Soil. "The value of poultry raising is seen when it is realized that chickens mean an additional crop on the land. It has been figured out that one crop of apples, amounting to 15 boxes to the tree, will draw from the soil about B0 pounds of nitrogen per acre. Put 50 chickens on an acre of land and they will return to the soil more than enough nitrogen to re place that taken by the apples. "The people of Southern Oregon are making a great deal of money on fruit, but they could make more money If they would take u-p poultry-raising more gen erally. It takes an orchard about five years to come into bearing. Put chickens on the land meanwhile, and you have a crop fully as valuable as your apples will be later. "More poultry-raising means a getting away from the one-crop Idea, and will re sult 1n retaining the fertility of the soil, besides utilizing land in this section of the state not adapted to frutgrowlng." Tangible Result Seen. rr. James Withyeombe, director of the Oregon Experiment Station, who 1s at the head of the Instructors on board the train, is highly gratified at the success of the first two days of the trip. "The last demonstration train operated through the Willamette Valley doubled our correspondence at the Oregon Agri cultural College," said he: "during the four months following the trip, the num ber of Inquiries coming to us from farm ers of that section of the state were dou bled. This shows how interest in better and more scientific methods Is aroused and Indicates the good accomplished by these farming specials." A reception will be given those on board the train at Roseburg tomorrow night at the rooms of the Roseburg Com mercial Club. line to connect the bay cities. .

PLANS TO DO MENIAL WORK Says It Does Not Cost! Much to Keep a Wife, Though Some Women He Knows Spend All of Ten Dollars Week. SAN FRANCISCO, March 23. (Special.) Gunjiro Aoki has returned to the paren tal roof at Oakland, where he Is busy preparing for his approaching marriage with Miss Helen Gladys Emery. Accord ing to AoRi's statement, this interesting event is to take place within a week, and will most probably be celebrated in Port land, Or. Just what day the nuptials will be solemnized Aokt declares he does not know. Further consultation must take place between Gunjiro and his future father-in-law, Archdeacon Emery, before the exact date may be announced. It is with, great difficulty that Miss Emery's fiancee expresses himself in English. His vocabulary i is extremely limited, and his accent unusually imper fect. America and his associations with Americans have made very little impres Blon on him. He has absolutely no sense of moral obligation. He does not begin to realize the care and comfort with which American men surround the women of their family: neither does he consider it necessary to raise his hat when he greets a woman. He belongs altogether to the dishwashing type, lacking, however, the servility and good manners of that class. It Is Impossible to correctly quote Gunjiro Aoki. His English for the most part consists of disjointed phrases and dieconnected words. The Japanese today said: "I gave Miss Emery's letters to the newspaper that published them, I do not consider this to be a wrong action, for the letters were true letters. I also gave those letters to the Japanese papers to publish. The Japanese reporters are very excited about myself and Miss Emery. do not know yet what I shall do to sup port a wire. "I shall probably work with my hands It costs very little to support a wife Women, good women, require very little. An American woman whose character Is not good. Just like a Japanese woman of bad . reputation, can easily spend all of $10 a day. But a good Christian woman. like a good . Japanese woman, requires very little." - Aoki considers It perfectly natural this interest the public Is taking in his love affair, and appears to enjoy the notoriety it has given him. Members of the Japanese Episcopal Mis sion have made a demand upon .Rev. C. Aokl, pastor of the mission, and brother of Gunjiro, for his resignation. man College.. The gift came unsolicited and was a surprise to the college au thorities.

While headway is being made In secur ing the necessary endowments for a greater Whitman, President Penrose and Dan Hendrick feel much elated over this generous voluntary offer. Mr. and Mrs. Mathews state that they first heard of the great endowment for Whitman Col lege through a newspaper dispatch. They Immediately wrote to the college authori ties making the offer of $50,000 and ask ing for a meeting. This was arranged and the gift accepted upon the above mentioned basis.

CANADIAN MONEY TAKEN AT PAR ; ' I , WE DO ARTISTIC PICTURE FRAMING BILL IS PULLED BACK Governor Hay Vetoes Game Law He Had Approved. - SPORTSMEN MAKE PLEA tending from five to ten miles into the country. Game Bill as Approved Prohibited Killing of All Upland Birds Ex cept Grouse Until 1912. Appropriations Filed. OLYMPIA, Wash., March 23. (Special.) Governor Hay late this afternoon vetoed the section of the new game bill that would prohibit shooting of all upland birds except grouse until 1312. Early this morning sportsmen began besieging the executive offlces, urging him to with draw the bill which he had approved March 13, so that he might veto this section. At 1 o'clock there was a hearing at the executive offlces and Chief Clerk Loren Grinsted of the House submitted a state ment that he personally was -responsible for the error and that the bill as signed by the Governor was not that passed by the Legislature. Governor Hay then sent a letter to the Secretary of State asking to recall the bill, but Secretary Nichols refused to surrender the bill because he had already given It a chapter number and was preparing to print it in the session laws. Again the sportsmen got busy and after a conference with the Attorney -General, Governor Hay framed up a message to the Secretary, in which he announced that he withdrew his approval of section one of the bill and vetoed the same. This notice was tiled with the Secretary of Slate a short time before 4 o'clock. Prominent attorneys here say that in view of the showing the veto message that the bill as first approved by the Governor was not , in form as the Mil passed by the Legislature there is no question the courts will sustain the veto. Irrespective of whether Nichols publishes the veto or not. The Governor today approved the, bills for fish hatcheries on the Columbia and Lewis rivers carrying aggregate appro priations of $8000. Appropriations Are Filed. All appropriation bills of. the last Leg islature, aggregating approximately $8, 000,000. 'exclusive of the indirect Capitol building appropriation, will become laws.
