TILLERS SHOW AMBITION TOTS TO BE STAR FEATURE 8 ENTHUSMSM HIGH ROSEBUD PARAD HOG TRAIN WAKE Experts Grow Hoarse Telling; Eager Producers About Cows and Swine With Good Roads Gospel Thrown In. COLD HILL, Or., Feb. 12. (Special.) -Six thousand, seven hundred people of the Rogue River Valley have listened to the doctrine of bos and dairy cow prosperity today and the big Southern Faci Ac-Oregon Agricultural College special demonstration train Is tonight leaving a trail of most satisfactory en thusiasm In Southern Oregon as it speeds toward Junction City and the Willamette Valley, where it will on Friday and Saturday conclude Its two weeks' itinerary with a whirlwind cam paign for better cows and hogs and more of them. All records have been shattered to tatters today. Ashland turned out 750 farmers at 9 o'clock this morning and an hour later the Talent brass band led 700 more to the railroad yards. But all that had gone before was but as the hum of a debating society as compared to the howling mob of 4000 Jackson County men who gathered at -Medford. Then came Central Point with another 750 and Gold Hill with BOO and the Gold Hill band. Tito Reason Exist. Two reasons explain the intense in terest displayed by the farmers of this section of the state ambition to make their farms more remunerative by en gaging in the dairy business, to which the district is remarkably well suited, and good roads that enable the farm ers to get out where they can learn about the first reason. They wanted to know about cows. Time after time Professor R. R. Graves poured into willing ears the reason why any of the four dairy breeds of cows would make good in this district, lie demonstrated that Ayrshire was as good as a Jersey or a Holstein as good as Guernsey if she descended from a milking strain, if the animal possessed a good constitution, if she exhibited good food capacity, large milk veins, a good udder and dairy temperament. To night his throat is wound with red flannel torn from the undershirt of Ed Carey, who wants to keep Professor Graves in working order until the finish. Demonstrations Are Practical. In his practical demonstration Graves shows where to look for the angularity of back and shape wither and hip bouts that indicate the milking tem perament and capacity, and demon strates with a carload of animals that a practical herd can be developed from ordinary scrub mothers, if the milking strain is there to begin with and a pure-bred sire is used.. After years of demonstration of horticultural methods and some failures it was the sort of talk that Rogue River folk wanted to hear, and then the O. A. C. man trotted out a Jersey from the Carey herd at Lafayette and showed that he had made BOO pounds of butter In 1913 Then an Ayrshire that has made 132 pounds of butter fat in the past two months or as much as the average cow gives in a year was shown. It was easy to understand that there was a difference between a steady income and one that is subject to pear blight. Death to the scrub bull is written on every canyon wall between the state line and Roseburg tonight, and it is safe to say that the next" few years will show an immense increase in the output of dairy products south, of the Umpqua Mountains. At Talent the speakers took occasion to discourage the subscription of stock to a creamery in which a Chicago pro moter is endeavoring to interest the people. BOYS' CONGRESS IS URGED Mr. Churchill "Wants Industrial Gath. ering at San Francisco Fair. SALEM. Or., Feb. 12. (Special.) Su perintendent of Public Instruction Churchill announced today that he-was urging a boys' and girls' industrial congress as one of the features of the Panama - Pacific Exposition. Mr. Churchill has arranged to send ten winners of prizes in the children's in dustrial department of the State Fair to the exposition and he will urge other states which have industrial clubs to do likewise, the winners from the va rious states to be delegates to the con gress. Mr. Churchill thinks the plan would be of benefit in stimulating interest in the work. "Such a congress," said Mr. Churchill, "would furnish each member an op portunity for an exchange of ideas and a wider acquaintance with the indus trial work." SALARY INCREASES VALID Washington Supreme Court Holds Legislature Can Ignore Limits Set. OLYMPIA, Wash.. Feb. 42 (Special.)

The first Democrat to appear as a candidate for the State Leg islature is Alva L. McDonald, who formally announced his candidacy for the lower house from Multnomah County yes terday. Mr. McDonald is editor and publisher of the Angora Journal, a publication devoted to the mo hair industry. He is a staunch Democrat and a member of the Jackson Club. He Is making his campaign on a platform promis ing efficient service and atten tion to the interests of the peo ple. ment for murder in the Wheatland hop pickers' riots last August, Governor Johnson said: "No army of any sort marching to Sacramento and demanding a pardon from me would have any influence whatever. "Any application for pardon must be regularly made and must be based on the facts in the case." Alleged Procurer Jailed. For an alleged attempt to lure Mrs. Jessie Quimby and her cousin, Mrs. B. E. Shannon, 60 Grand avenue, into a disorderly resort, Edgar Smith, pro prietor of a rooming-house at S28 North Seventeenth street, was given a 25-day jail sentence in the Municipal Court yesterday. Smith, it is said, tried to hire the women as housekeepers. Testimony was offered to the effect that Smith's rooming-house was not a proper place for a woman. T MEN OF AFFAIRS HOLD HOTEL LOBBY FORUMS Portland's Apparent Laxity in Going After Alaskan Trade Subject for Discussion Canadian Immigration Official "After" Locators. THE Canadian government has adopted a policy of reprisal to offset the activities In Portland of "locators" for Canadian homestead lands. Under the Dominion law, no one Is allowed to receive a fee for locating persons on government land, the gov-1 eminent maintaining a bureau of Its own for this purpose. But there is nothing to prevent 'locators of Ca nadian homesteads from operating in the United States, and a company has been busy at this work in Portland for several months. J. N. Grieve. Canadian immigration agent, has come to Portland for the express purpose of furnishing informa tion to people who are interested in homestead lands. He makes no charge for this service. The "locators" make a charge of $50. "There is no way for us to get at these fellows under the laws of the United States," said Mr. Grieve last night at the Perkins, where he has es tablished headquarters. "But we can invade the same field and tell people the truth about what Canada has to offer in homesteads. "For these people are not telling the truth," he continued. "They are adver tising that they can locate you on a homestead front two to three miles from a town of 2000 people, with two operating railroads. There are no homesteads to be had within 20 miles of a town of that size. Complaints are coming to us continually of the mis representations made by tho 'locators,' but there is nothing we can do except give people a chance to learn first hand from Government sources just what can be found." HAVING given an order in Portland for a. complete dally newspaper plant Bernard M. Stone left Portland yesterday for Seattle, from whence he will proceed to Juneau and Seward. Alaska. His intention is to start a daily in Seward, which is generally understood to be the probable terminus of the new Government railroad in Alaska. Mr. stone was formerly & newspaper man In Nome, and is as thoroughly ac quainted with Alaskan conditions as he is enthusiastic over Alaskan pros pects. After leaving Alaska five years ago he came to Oregon and founded the Malheur Enterprise at Vale, where he "boosted for Eastern Oregon" with, such vigor that his paper became wide ly known as the prophet of Eastern Oregon development. It is said that railroad officials watched the enterprise to see what Stone had decided for them to do, and when, he announced that they would extend westward from Vale, that thay rushed men and construction outfit to that point so that the Enterprise would maintain its reputation for fort sight. Mrs. Stone accompanied Mr. Stone yesterday. CONDITIONS are splendid in South ern Oregon, according to John A. Westerlund, of Medford, one of the leading orchard operators of the Rogue River Valley, who is registered at the Carlton. - "Prospects were never better for a record crop of apples and pears," said Mr. Westerlund. "The Winter has been ideal. The ground is filled with East 'Side Business Men Hearty in Co-operation and Street Railway Company President Volun teers Special Service. The pageantry of the "Human Rose buds," the school children's parade always the crowning glory of the an nual Rose Festival is to be repeated this year in a more picturesque and elaborate manner than in former sea sons of festivity. Such was the decis ion of the Hoard of Education at a spe cial meeting with the board of govern ors of the Rose Festival at the Com mercial Club lest night. The matter will come up for ratifica tion at the next session of the board. The plan as contemplated by the Fes tival officials is to extend invitations to at least 10.000 boys and girls of the public schools and to make the pa geantry measure up to the high stand ard of excellence which has been set for the other events. Franklin T. Griffith, president of the street railway company, promised that every possible detail looking to ward the careful movement of the hosts of little marchers would be looked after. . Special cars will pick up the school drill aand marching squads. Parade Will Be Short. The parade is to be short. Perhaps not more than an hour will be con sumed in marching. This will prevent overexertion on the part of the young sters. George. L. Baker, superintendent of amusements, announced that the sys tem of policing the route and handling the centers ot formation and dispersal, as well as keeping watchful eyes on the children, will be worked out with painstaking care. Without exception the members of the Board of Education who spoke Chairman R. L. Sabin, O. M. Plummer, Judge M. G. Munly and Dr. E. A. Som mers as well as School Superintend ent L. R. Alderman, .referred to the value of the school children's parade as a civic asset and as a sure inspira tion toward civic pride. Declarations were made that the Human Rosebud" pageant was the strongest drawing card to the people of Portland and to the throngs ot visitors who cofne to the Festival from afar. It was also shown that from the standpoint of advertising Portland as the City of Roses throughout other sections of the country, this feature of the week towers far above all the other elements of the season's pas times. Kant Side to Decorate. As has been customary in the past, the children's parade "will be the stel lar event of the East Side's portion of the Festival and Grand avenue will be the scene whereon the spectacular procession will be staged. The East Side Business Men's Club moisture and the recent cold snap served to keep back the ambitious fruit buds. "Thousands of acres of young or chard will come into bearing in South ern Oregon this coming season," he continued, "and we have no fear of the price being lowered by the Increased production, because there has never been and never will be too much fruit produced of the quality that we pro duce down there." Mr. Westerlund has been a. Repre sentative from Jackson County in the State Legislature for the past two terms and his friends insist that should he decide to make the run again this year his announcement will be equiva lent to election, as his record has been excellent, particularly on legislation affecting the interests of farmers and fruitgrowers. GUS BROOAN. a prominent merchant of Nome, during a recent visit to Portland bought a, residence at 1027 Arnold street and will spend at least part of each year as a resident of this city. When he came to Portland h bad Just flnished a tour of the Pacific Coast with his family and his impression of Portland, as compared to that of the other cities, is reflected in his purchase of a home here. "But Portland is not advertised as It should be," said Mr. Brogan, "neither in Alaska nor at California points. We hear all kinds of talk about Seattle and San Francisco in the North, but seldom a word of Portland and Port land, I think, having seen them all Is the finest city of the lot" , Mr. Brogan's daughter, 12 years old, was the first white child born in Nome. T HERE Is a market for all the X produce of the Willamette Val ley In Alaska," said Frank C. Ham mond, an old-time Nome and Juneau booster, at the Oregon Hotel yester day. "Seventy per cent of the produce used up there comes from California, and 90 per cent of the eggs and butter from Puget Sound. There is no reason why Portland and the Willamette Valley should not have a big share of this business except that you do not go after it. , "There Is a lack of interest in Alas ka 'in Portland which I cannot under stand," continued Mr. Hammond. "Why, it is Impossible to find out at any hotel in Portland when the next steam er leaves for Alaska, or how to make connection with it by rail if it leaves from Seattle. "Neither does there appear to be any appreciation here of the enormous de velopment now under way and in pros pect in Alaska," he continued. "The Treadwell mine at Juneau and the Sheep Creek and Silver Bow mines near there are three of the biggest mines- in the world. The Treadwell disburses $1,000,000 in dividends each year. This means that there is big business to be had in Alaska, and Port land should get her share of it." Mr. Hammond was one of the orig inal locators of the Sheep Creek mine, and has always been clarion-voiced in proclaiming Alaska the greatest coun try, with the most amazing store of natural resources on earth. He was the founder of the town of Skagway, and was Collector of Customs at Skag way and Juneau under President Cleveland. 10? Size Conti Castile Soap Made in Italy and imported bv The Owl Drug Co.

BOOTH -KELLY REBUILDING Springfield Plant, Recently Uestroyed by Fire, Will Bo Iarger ew Mill of 125,000 Feet Capacity Expected This bummer. With the coming of weather more favorable for mill activity and for building operations over the state, the lumber industry of Oregon is regarded as bound to awaken from the lull of Winter. In some sections, notably in the camps along the Columbia River and in the Coos Bay territory, operations were continued until a good sized supply had accumulated and in these localities several of the mills and logging camps will not resume opera tions until the present supply has been exhausted, but, in other lumber zones, indications of a renewed activity already are apparent. The Silverton Lumber Company is about to resume active operation of its plant at Silverton, in Marion County, and the mill at Wheeler, in the Nehalem country, started activity this week. The big mill of the Booth-Kelly Company, which was almost totally de stroyed by the Springfield fire, is being rebuilt on a larger scale. It will be one of the most modern plants in the Northwest and will have an im mense capacity. It i3 said on good authority that a new mill having a capacity of about 125,000 feet a day is to be launched in the Willamette Valley during the coming Summer. Announcement made this week that an order for 15,000,000 feet of Douglas fir had been placed with a Portland firm by the Union Pacific System has lent an impetus to the local situation. Mills of Oregon and Washington are to handle this order. Delivery will be made at Chicago in April and the ma terial will be used In the construction of 4400 cars.
