A little more than a year ago, the KUckitat County Development league, at a "booster"' meeting held in Goldendale, raised an advertising fund of about $5000. Thus sum has been expended in various ways and in the interim the league has taken an active part in all movements for the betterment of the community. Part of the fund was expended In pub lishing an illustrated booklet, of whlen 20.000 copies were distributed. In addi tion 40.000 folders were published and distributed also. For purposes of exhibit at the National Apple Show at Spokane, the Klickitat County Development League supervised the arrangement of a collection of Klick itat County nonirrigated fruit and sup plied the finances for the venture. This display took the first prize at the apple show for fruit raised without the aid of irrigation. Land Prices Show Improvement. The advertising literature and the prom inence given the district by its fruit dis plays at Spokane and the Hood River Apple Show have been felt In land prices and In an awakened interest in that part of AVashington. The meeting today will inaugurate a campaign for the contin uance of the publicity work and it is felt that on top of the results already attained the fund raised this year will do twice as effective work as iast. In the development work Klickitat County Is to have the support of the sev eral railroad lines that will be repre sented at Goldendale today. The rail road companies wjll co-operate by giv ing the county iftace in their exhibit Tooms in the East and -in distributing literature prepared by th league. l.yle is to receive similar encourage . ment and on February 19 another party of railroad moi will be made up to attend a big "booster" meeting that is to be held at White Salmon.

An additional requisition for 50 miles of Fteel rails for the Deschutes Railroad line has been made by Chief Engineer Bnsohko, who has just returned from a trip of inspection over the completed jKirtion of the road. Rails are now laid for a distance of six miles from the mouth of the canyon, and tracklaying !s to be pressed with the greatest vigor poevible in order to facilitate the getting RAILROAD MEN of the transportation materials farther up the canyon. The- tunnel work along the line is de manding a great deal more timbering than was estimated. Instead', of encoun tering. the solid basaltic rock indicated by the mirface, the tunnela have run into seams and shales and - heavy- timbers are required. Tunnel timbers cannot now be secured without long wagon hauls. -The laying of 30 more miles .of track will carry the rails to the first tunnel and Mr. Bosohke - expects -to have- the j track laid to that point within another In the lat few weeks the forces in the canyon have been graatly augmented. The "Deschutes Railroad Company gives1 the number of its working force at about SoOO. - John F. Stevens, yesterday, said that the Oregon Trunk line has approxi mately 4500 men at work including team sters and camp employes1. The total therefore runs up to about 8000 men. i KLAMATH FALLS IS .XOT GOAL President Stevens, of Oregon Trunk, Says Report Misleads. John F. Stevens, president of the Oregon Trunk Line, said yesterday: Statements now beirrsr published, apparent ly by authority, that the Oregon Trunk Rail way - wui. without delay, build its line through Central Oregon to Klamath rails are entirely wrong and misleading, is it has not decided upon any such plan. It has tiled maps through Government lands as far south as the Klamath Indian Reservation and is making some surveys in the reservation, but these Hurveya will not be continued to Klamath Falls, and the line as now located to the Indian Reservation may or may not be constructed. All that is now definitely decided is that it will prob ably build as far south as Bend. leaving; the question of further extensions -an open one. The filing of maps is no conclusive proof of intention to build; frf It were. Oregon would have more railroads now than It could nos sibly need. THIRD COP" SUSPENDED PATROLMAN" XEWELL CHARGED WITH SHIRKING DUTY. Forty Minutes Spent Indoors May Cost Him Place on Force. Evert to Stand Trial. Patrolman R. A. Newell, of tH"e second night relief, was suspended from duty last night by Chief of Police Cox. Newell had been discovered in a house at Twenty third and Savler. streets at 4 o'clock yes terday morning by Sergeant Kienlen. Newell, who had been watched, had been In the place 40 minutes. He is the third officer on the -second night relief in the past two weeks- to be found asleep or absent from his beat. The place where he spent the time is a confectionery store conducted by Mrs. Jane Coad. Information was reeeived at police headquarters that Mrs. Coad had x young girl in the house with her, and the information was referred to Mrs. Baldwin, head of the woman's bureau of the police department, to investigate. Mrs. Baldwin found the woman under the tr.fuence of some drug. Patrolman Ab bit. took the woman into custody. She w. h taken to the City Jail, where she is charged with being drunk and disorderly. The house was 50 feet away from the boundaries of Newell's beat, and in Ser geant Kienlen's report it is said that the door of the place had been left open for Newell. The discovery of the delinquent officers is attributed to Chief Cox's foresight in assigning the additional sergeants to this relief. Cars not' being available in the early morning hours, it has been impos sible in the past for two sergeants prop erly to supervise the work of all of the police on duty. Chief Cox yesterday called in Patrol man Evert, who had been found asleep in an East Side woodyard office yester day morning. The chief told Etvert, who is under suspension, that he would give him his choice between undergoing the humiliation of appearing before the po lice committee and handing in his resig nation; Chief Cox also advised Evert that the resignation would be '-accepted. The policeman decided to take his chances before the committee. DISPOSAL 0F GARBAGE It Should Not Be Done Within the City Limits. PORTLAND. Or.. Feb. 9. (To the Edi tor. Your editorial in The Oregonian to day on the subject of garbage crematories susKOBts this letter. If you will allow mo space I will be as brief as possible in stat ing my position on this subject. You have evidently Riven this subject due consideration, and by those who haw practical knowledge of this seemingly un solvable problem your suggestions are sure to --meet with approval. The present plan of building a garbage incinerator on the site owned by the city at Guild's Lake to my mind Is the very worst conceivable. If it was centrally located so as to obviate the long haul and consequent necessary expense, and - also the inconvenience. It would not be so bad to expend $120,000. I am not In favor of tho city building crema tories within the incorporate limits, for obvious reasons: 1. You cannot do so without injuring property In its immediate vicinity and also that adjacent thereto. 2. It matters not how sanitary It is, the fact still remains that It is a crematory, and the very name reduces values. 3. There Is also the inconvenience of many teams concentrating at one point, which Is more or less objectionable on ac count of its wearing out the streets and the necessary expense to the property owners In repairing. If thl were an abso lute necessity then I would not protest, but as it is not, and as you have suggested a more sanitary and convenient method, also reducing the enormous expanse, to the city as well as to the patrons, why not adopt your plan? Another point in favor of your argument Is that it can be put into operation in less than 60 days, and at best the contemplated crematory cannot be constructed and put into operation in less than six months, even If the contract Is entered into Immediately and the work expedited. It was my experience to have 55 horses that were burned in a stable and five others that died by other causes delivered to the present ctmatory within 24 hours. Now does anyone suppose that the incineration of these animals could be accomplished without giving offense to the inhabitants in that vicinity ? I could say much, more but shall not in trude further on your space. C L, DXCtGETT. Ex-Superintendent ot Crematories, FUND IS.

Country Tributary to Lines Being Built. For the purpose of thoroughly ad vertising Central Oregon and showing its possibilities as a place for home seekers and settlers, the Great North ern Railroad yesterday sent two repre sentatives into the interior to secure materials for bulletins and gather in formation from actual farmers on irri gation, dry farming and kindred sub jects of interest to intending settlers. President L. W. Hill has given in structions that a systematic cam paign be undertaken to advertise thor oughly the resources of the Deschutes Valley tributary to the Great Northern line now under construction. Writer and Agent Make Trip. With this end in view, Fred W. Gra ham, of Seattle, traveling freight agent of the Great Northern, left for the Deschutes last night and will be joined at The Dalles by George Palmer Put nam, whose writings on Central Ore gon have- appeared at intervals in The Oregonian. Mr. Putnam will secure photographs and information which will be embodied in a Great Northern bulle tin on Oregon which will be published immediately after he has completed his labors. Mr. Graham will gather statis tics as to tonnage possibilities and en deavor to arouse enthusiasm among the people of the Deschutes Valley, so that more and better products will be placed on exhibition at various points. Mr. Graham also will make recommenda tions as to the location of stations along the line, with the convenience of the shippers the principal point in view. Side Journeys to Be Made. The trip will take in the entire line from the mouth of the Deschutes to the Klamath .Indian reservation, with side journeys to important points, which will be more or less tributary to the new railroad. The Great Northern is now giving a great deal of attention to-the advertis ing of Oregon resources, and at Its ex hibit rooms in St. Paul are displays of Oregon products which are attracting a great deal of attention. The railroad also has a room open in Philadelphia, and has just completed negotiations for opening a similar exhibit in Boston. Both places are for the display of products of Oregon and other West ern States traversed by the lines of the Great Northern. ASSEMBLY PLAN FAVORED Correspondent Would Have Two Nominees for Each Orrice. YAMHILL, Or., Feb. 9. (To the Bd tior.) The precinct assembly plan of organization, published in The Sunday Oregonian of January 30, will no doubt appear to many as being somewhat visionary and impracticable. In order to correct any such impressions, some explanations should be made In lt Ho- k f ense. .... In making county nominations before the candidates can be properly consid ered by the precinct assembly they should be required to comply with the provisions of the direct primary law, except filing their petitions, which should first be placed in the hands of the central committeemen. Dates should be set and well advertised for opening and closing the nominations. After the time has expired the chairman of the central committee will have in his pos session the names of all the candidates and the names of the offices each is as piring for, and will be authorized to use them for political purposes for the benefit of the candidates and their po litical friends who desire to Bupport them. To simplify and systematize the work of bringing the matter before the voters, the central committeemen can have tally sheets printed, containing all the names of the candidates, grouped under the names of the various offices they are candidates for. Sufficient space should be provided opposite the name of each candidate for tallying the vote. A sufficient number of tally sheets should be furnished each precinct. It is now up to the Republican voters to assemble together in their various precincts for the purpose of exercising their direct choice as to whom they prefer for office. It will require only one vote of the assembly to decide the choice for each office. As the votes are called off by the tellers the two clerks should tally them directly into the original tally sheets and the'totals can be carried forward while the next vote is being taken. When the voting is done the tally sheets are complete, except to receive the signatures of the chairman and two clerks to attest their correctness. The assembly can then elect one of its members as a delegate to deliver one of the original tally SOME VIEW LOTS LEFT AT ALAMEDA PARK MANY PURCHASERS LAST SUNDAY PRICES ON ALL LOTS ADVANCE MARCH 1 PRICES ON SOME OF THE LOTS WILL ADVANCE WITHIN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. The announcement a week ago that a block of view lots would for the first time be opened for sale brought a strong response from the public. Literally, hundreds of investors flocked to Alameda Park last Sunday and many lots were sold. However, two or three of the choicest view properties in this block remain open. Besides, there is a fine selection of home sites in other portions of the Park. A WORD IN REGARD TO PRICES. Prices can only be judged by values. Values considered, Alameda Park lots are extremely low-priced. Lots in the neighborhood-of Alameda Park, but with inferior improvements and lower ground, are priced just double what is asked for lots in this Park. ABOUT CAR SERVICE AND OTHER IMPROVEMENTS.' - The Broadway carline is operating regular schedule direct to Alameda Park. Within the very near future cars will operate through Alameda Park. Cement walks -and curbing have already started and other improvements are. being rushed. For particulars, address Alameda Land Company, owner of Ala meda Park, 322 Corbett-Building.- ooc 0 lOC !3 CZ sheets to the county central committee men in person. j The popular will of the party has now become a matter of record in the hands of the party's authorized and re sponsible agents. The central commit teemen, with the assistance of the pre cinct assemblies' delegates, can now proceed to count the vote, using the totals for that purpose.. All the can didates should be apprised of the re sults of the count and the siiecesful ones should be requested to file their petitions, as required by law. The coun ty paper having the largest general circulation among Republicans should; be given the work of printing the tally sheets, and a copy of it, containing all the names of the candidates, should be published in one or two issues of the paper. This would bring the candi dates prominently before the voters and they would all be given an equal publicity and for a sufficient length of time to' enable the voters to decide intelligently as to whom they prefer for office. Candidates are not to be picked up promiscuously on the day of holding the assembly, as' might be supposed. Since very little of the work would be arduous and but little time would be required, it would all be gladly volunteered, except the prepara tion and printing of the tally sheets, the' cost of which would be generously met by the candidates and their friends. Good government is so essential to our prosperity and happiness that it is worth all the trouble necessary to ob tain it. There must be some improve ments added to Oregon's direct primary properly to control the scramble-for-office programme of the majority party before its defenders can claim it to be a safe and reliable promoter of good government. Americans have the tra ditional habit of yielding gracefully to the will of the majority, but they will not submit to being governed by a small plurality, because it could easily become dangerous. The Republican party has made itself the dominant power in our political affairs, because It has carefully safeguarded the best interest of the people. It has always been conservative, yet at the same time it has been progressive. Your correspondent is in favor of a state Republican convention. Political parties must get together for associa tion and counsel or lose much of their power to be useful. Delegates, which should not be too great in number, should come from all parts of the state and should not be self-elected, but elected by those they represent. Ability, and not numbers, is the main thing to be desired. Responsibility rests more heavily upon the few than upon the many. Until some improvements are added to Oregon's direct primary, to enable' adherents of the majority party to exercise their sovereign rights to make direct nominations for office in telligently and for their best interest, your correspondent believes a state Re publican convention can render valua ble assistance to the voters In per- 3QC ess 3C Congress is investigating the increased cost of living so are State Legislatures, Chambers of Com merce, and other organizations. But while the statesmen are talking, your meat bills and grocery bills are climbing higher.

Always the same price always clean al ways pure always the same. Your grocer sells it. ALL THE "MEAT" OF 3C forming that important political func tion, and should do so. I am in favor of the convention indorsing two candi dates for each office, and by that meant make the direct primary operative. To avoid all unpleasantness that might otherwise occur, none of the candidates should make any personal catmpalgn preceding the direct primary election or have any special emissaries in the field for that purpose. Since men who aspire for high political positions have estab lished characters for Honor, integrity and ability and are generally well known to the public, the voters can intelligently decide the question as to whom they desire to support for office. There wiH be no lack of information; ample and reliable means will be pro vided and. made available for obtaining it. Republicans have determined to place their local political affairs upon a high er and better plane than has ever been known before in Oregon, and if thej persist in it they will succeed. PHIL. WITH YCOMBB. $59 GONE, LADS BLAMED Boy Accuses Chum of Aiming Pistol to Make Him Steal. George Wickman, 16 years old, was arrested yesterday morning and turned over to the Juvenile Court. He ia ac cused of stealing $49 from the grocery store of John GoldstfLub. at Williams avenue and Russell street, where he was formerly employed. He accuses John Campbell, the 15-year-old son of Michael Campbell, of aiding In the tnett. But Campbell denies taking part. According to Wickman, Campbell had two revolvers and threatened to shoot "Wickman if he did not join with him in robbing the store.
