COLONIST TRAVEL MAKES NEWREGORD the Columbia Contract Company. of Portland, was commenced before a jury in the Circuit Court today- The suit was brought to recover damages in the sum of $7500 for the death of the late Henry Tarkianinen, drowned as the result of a collision between his fishing- boat and the defendant's steamer Daniel Kern in the lower har bor on May 26, 1908.

PLANT EXTENDS SERVICE Forest Grove Company AVill String Wires to Hillsboro. PREPAID BUSINESS I FOREST GROVE, Or., April 14. (Spe- cial.) That the Haines Power Company, I n Alttt Viocr Uccraf nlone tit i-in-nr ie H EA V Y J the general opinion since it has been granted a franchise for erecting poles for transmission of electric current from here to the city limits of Hillsboro. Moreover, Eastern Offices Report Unprece dented Demand and Many Dis appointments May Follow Close of Sale Today. Today will end the spring sale of colonist tickets and close the greatest period of travel of homeseekers ever experienced by the Northwestern rail roads. Holders of colonist tickets may still leave from far Eastern points today, or from any other point from which the rates are named, so that hundreds of cotopists will be en route for sev eral days yet. No figures have been compiled by any of the transcontinental railroads ptving the volume of the colonist travel. All that is known is that more equipment than ever before required has been placed in service to care for the rush. Telegraplile Orders Numerous. At the Western terminals the offi cials and agents are more closely in touch with the prepaid business than with the amount of sales at Eastern terminals. It is told in the Portland offices that 'while the prepaid busi ness is the chort end of the traffic, St has nevertheless been larger than ever before. Prepaid tickets are those that are paid for at the point of destination. Orders are given for the Issuance of tickets to the designated persons in the East. For the last few days, these orders for tickets have gone forward by telegraph, and Portland ticket Bgents' say that the wires have been kept hot in the effort to get these nrders through before the close of the low rate period. It is predicted that many are likely to be disappointed, as the orders are listed and rilled in ro tation. Some of the Eastern offices are swamped with business, so those who have come in at the last minute with money for tickets to be issued B-t the starting points, it Is possible, will be disappointed. Travel Is Tremendous. On the Northern lines great Interest has been shown In the irrigated dis tricts of Eastern Washington, and these lines also have brought many travelers to Oregon. The O. R. & N. And Southern Pacific have brought hundreds each to Baker City, La Grande, Hermiston and intermediate points, and to stations on the branch lines. The travel has also been heavy through Shaniko . to interior Oregon, while the influx to the Rogue Valley has been tremendous. Willamette Valley points. Hood River and Mosier have also received a large quota of homeseekers. Traffic men say, too, that the im migration this year is made up of rolonlsts of a more substantial charac ter than ever before in the matter of funds with which to invest in homes. Figures on the total sales of col onist tickets will not have been fully compiled for some time. iT. P. O'BRIEN RETtKXS HOME No Matters of Great Importance to Oregrm Discussed at Meet.

After we had gone so far on the way I decided to fulfil a desire to see the smelter at Takima.

Buxton, Calls Commonwealth to Reach Highest Point of Pro duction Raise Poultry. GRESHAM, Or., April 14. (Special.) That Oregon, to reach her highest point of production, must employ the modern and best methods of farming on the intensified plan, was the keynote of the opening address today by A. T. Buxton, master of the Oregon State Grange, before a representative attend ance on the Grange Institute, which was greeted by Mayor Shattuck in a formal welcome. Mr. Buxton paid a glowing tribute to this section of Oregon, but. said that its full possibilities had not yet been attained. The reason, he said, was not because the people were unfamiliar with the best methods, but that the best methods were not employed. IVequent Gatherings Advocated "Have more and frequent institute gatherings and further dissemination of agricultural methods." he told his hear ers; and then added that in many sec tions of the country the productions are limited by the physical abilities of those interested, especially in the East, where help is scarce and not to be secured at any price, although the farms are pro ducing enough young men and women to do the work, but who are lost to the farms through the doors of the city. Professor James Dryden, of the Oregon Agricultural College poultry department, began the afternoon with an address on "Poultry on the Farm." After saying that Orego-: is now paying over $3,000,000 a year for eggs and poultry, which could .lust as well be saved at home, he stated that .100 good hens on every farm in the state would bring in $10,000,000 a year, or more than enough to pay the state's expenses tor four years. He advocated the colony house sys tem and general purpose breeds such as the Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte or Rhode IslanJ Reds for the farm, but said pure breeds were not always desirable, as cross-bred stock has the best vitality and is less subject to disease. Poultry Association Scored. He declared that the American Poul try Association has injured the busi ness for farmers, as it devotes its efforts- to fancy stock for exhibition. The association, he said, ignores egg production altogether in its publica tions. As a closing admonition, he said that incubators have no place on the farm. Mr. H. Ringhouse closed the after noon with a dissertation on poultry diseases- and their remedies. The programme for tomorrow follows: 10 A. M.

Highland Farmer's Order of Apple Slips Destroyed as Clackamas County Menace. OREGOS CITY, Or., April 14. (Spe cial.) Four hundred apple trees con signed to Richard Simms, a farmer of Highland, Clackamas County, were burned today by County Fruit Inspector Lewis. The trees had just been re ceived from the Galbralth Nurseries, of Fairbury. Neb., by Mr. Simms, and cost him, with the freight, about $30. They were badly infected with crown and root galls and hairy root. "This should be a warning to plant ers," said Mr. Lewis this afternoon, "as Mr. Simms had paid for the stock, and will lose all he paid. But he really gains in having them destroyed before planting. The lesson to be learned is to buy only from reliable concerns and even then to have Inspection made of all trees before planting." There are at least 5000 acres of in fected fruit orchards in Clackamas' County at present, says Fruit Inspector Lewis. The old Latourette apple or chard of 12 acres, adjoining the farm of the Fruit Inspector, is one of the worst-looking orchards in the entire county. Inspector Lewis on March 29 served notices on D. C. Latourette, own er, and Frank Parker, lessee, to clean the orchard within 30 days.
