V THE. iSXJ3roAYr.OREGOMS.3C; iP0R$LA2Dr AUGUST 20,-1905. - LAND NQTWDRN OUT ; ...... ,, ,, Willamette Farmers HaVe NOt Treated Fields Fairly. RESULTS OF EXPERIMENTS Agricultural College Shows Yields of Forty and Fifty Bushels to the Acre, in Sharp Contrast to "Neighboring; Farms. CORVAL.LIS, Or.. Aug. 19. Between 40 and 0 bushels per acre is the ylold of wheat on the college farm this season. The figures are Jn striking contrast with the yield on the other farms of the Wil lamette Valley, so much reduced In their returns. They are also believed at the college to illustrate strikingly the value of crop rotation as a factor In conserving the productive power of the soli. They lire believed further to illustrate that Wlllamottc Valley fields are not worn out, but only badly treated. Such, at least, is the contention of Dr. Withycombe, who began a system of crop rotation on the colltge farm in ISfiS. with the result that on land that has been cropped for 40 yoars an average yield on a field of 30 acres of above 42 bushels was secured thh? season. The field comprised three varieties of wheat Challenge White Winter, which went 87 bushels and seven pounds per acre; Aeton Winter, 42 bushels and fiS pound ppr acre, and Ore gon White Winter, which gave the ex cellent yield of 4 bushels and 40 pounds. Oats and barley on the farm and thresh ed at the same time. gav a yield each of 40 bushels. The result was attained with out use of commercial fertilizers, except land plaster applied to clover during the rotation process. The Experiment Station lias adopted two general systems of rotation a four year course, comprising two years of clover, a crop of corn, followed by a crop rif wheat; upon tlw lower land, which is not so we!! suited for wheat, the rota tion Is Winter vHch and Spring grain, alternately. As an example of the first system, a piece of land was selected In that had produced grain almost con tlnuously for 40 years, and the yield of wheat ran down to about 16 bushels per BTe. In the Fall of that year about 12 tons of barnyard manure per acre were applied, which was plowed under to a 3epth of eight Inches. The following Spring the land was thor oughly disced. work! down and planted to corn, which yielded a good crop for the pllo. As soon as th corn crop was har vested. the land was disced and Winter wheat drilled in. The following Marcn ?lx pounds of red clover and two pounds nf alslke clover seed were sown over the wheat, and about the first of April an ap plication of 75 pounds of land plaster per acre was made. The wheat yielded that year 41 bushels per acre. The next year the first crop of clover was cut for silage, and yielded 12 tons of green forage per acre. The second crop was cut for hay. yielding 1 tons per acre, and In the Fall the field furnished excellent pasture for shpep. The next year the field was sown with peas and oats and produced about six tons of green forage per acre. In the Spring of 1901 about 16. tons of barnyard manure per acre were plowed under, and the field planted to corn, which yielded a good crop for the silo. In the Fall, the field was disced and sown with wheat, and last March six pounds of red clover and two pounds of alslke clover seod were sown to the acre, with the result of a good set of clover at present and an average yield of 42 bushels and 13 pounds of wheat per acre. The field was sown with three varieties Df wheat Oregon White Winter, which yielded 40 bushels 40 pounds per acre; Aeton. 42 bushels 53 pounds; Challenge White. Si bushels 7 pounds. The large yield of the Oregon White Winter is per haps due to carefully selected seed. For several years the station has selected the Hrt individual heads of this variety for sped. In this rotation it will be noted that four crops are grown with but one plow ing, which reduces the horse labor of the farm to the minimum. The oats were grown on vetch land, which yielded about three tons of cured hay per acie last year. This rotation con sists of alternating with vetch and Spring grain. The grain stubble Is disced and sown to vetch in the Fall. This crop is pastured or cut for hay, and the stubble plowed under a good depth In the Fall. The following Spring the land is disced and sown to grain. By this system two good crops are secured from one plow ing, also the texture of the land improved and fertility increased. These systems are applicable to large as well as to small farms. If barnyard manure Is not available the growing of the legumes as rotation crops will steadily Improve the fertility of the soil. Speaking of the satisfactory yield on tne farm. Dr. Withycombe said: "The farms of the Willamette Valley are by no means exhausted. If legumin ous crops were more gonorally grown so as to maintain a good percentage of or ganic substance In the soil, the crops of this valley could be easily doubled within four yoars. Organic matter, or humus, not only Increases the fertility of the soil, but also Improves Its moisture-holding capabilities and makes tillage, easier." FREE DELIVERY IS DEXIED Oregon City Will Enlist the Services of Senator Fulton. OREGON CITY, Or.. Aug. 19.-(SpecIal.) The Postoffice Department at Washing ton has denied the application of the people of this city for the establishment of a free delivery of mail service within the city. Postmaster T. P. Randall re cently made application ,for this service on the showing that the receipts of the Oregon City office for the year ending June 30 last were over $10,300. In deny ing the application, the authorities at Washington give as a reason that the starting of a free delivery service in this city would largely dispense with the rental of boxes at the postoffice. which amounts to about $1100 annually, which would reduce the receipts of the office t" a sum less than the required $18,000 per annum. It Is provided in the postal laws that when the population of a city roaches 10.0M or the gross receipts of an office exceed $10,000 per annum, the department "may" establish a free mall delivery service. Believing that this city is en titled to tills service, the people of Ore gon City will have the application in dorsed by the Board of Trade, when the services of Senator Fulton will be en 'Isted In hopes that a free city delivery may yet be obtained.

G FIRE FRO.U .SLASHING OK THE SAX TIA3I DOES GREAT DAMAGE. Flame Are Svrrpt Up the Gannon by Hie Force of n Strong; Wind. ALBANY, Or., Aug. IS. (Special.) Despite the precautions that were au thorized by the lt Legislature to pre vent forest fires, a number of destruc tive conflagrations have developed In Linn County during the last ten Jays. Some of them have not yet reached tne green timber and are not doing great damage, while in at least two instances great bodies of valuable timber are paying tribute to th carelessness of campers, or logging-camp operators. The latest rejKrt 1 from the Are on tho South Santlam River, in the east ern portion of Linn County. What ap peared to be a small lire in some slashings broke out there some ten days ago, and has since reached the magnitude of an uncontrollable and destructive forest conflagration, swoop ing everything in its path. This lire started Just north of the ranch of Goorge B. Whltcoatb. noar Foster, rwept around the clearing Into the green timber, and I5 now leaping un checked through some of the most valuable timber In the immense tract owned by the Northern Pacific Com pany In that suction. Already .Umber aggregating thousand of dollars in value hHi been destroyed, and with the fire sweeping up tne canyon under the influence of a strong wind created by its own neat. Its destructive course will b decked only by a heavy rain. On the north branch of the Santlam River, where n fire has been burning for several days above Detroit, condi tions are not materially changod. The firo continues to destroy some green timber, but the unceasing work of for est rangers has succeeded in saving some of the best timber In the reserve. This fire has charred wholo mountain sides to the north of Mount Jefferson, and has rendered many sections of land In tho Cascade forost reserve use less for logging purpose Two logging camps that were in the path of the lire were destroyed. Lower down on the North Fork of the Santlam, in the neighborhood of the vast and valuable body of timber known as the Crabtree tract, a fire has been burning for several days over aom flashings, where the timber has beon logged off, but has not reached the standing timber. This, however, is liable to happon at any time If rain does not come. The damage In the logged district has been considerable, but not to compare with that in the other localities. Soldiers Watching the Fires. VANCOUVER BARRACKS. Wash., Aug. 19. (Special.) Forest fires in the neigh borhood of this post are causing consid erable annoyance to the men and of ficers, who are using every effort to pre vent any damage to the timber and shrubbery on the reserve.

Straight Track Enables Engineers to Stop Their Tondcrous Machine in Time to Avoid Wreck. MARYSVILLE. Cal.t Aug. 19. Two crowdod Orogon trains ware in collision early today at Lomo. a siding six miles above Marysvllle, and a serious acci dent was narrowly averted. Trainmen on the south-bound train alleged when they arrived here a few minutes aftor the accident that they had orders to meet the north-bound train at Lomo, and the north-bound train had orders to meet the other train at Live Oak. several miles' beyond Lomo. Owing to tho fact that the south bound train was slowing down to make the siding, and the trcck for a long dis tance whs straight, allowing the en gineers to see the aproachlng head lights, a disaster was averted. Tho pilots and front ends of both engines were badly damaged by the force of the collision, but the jar to the coaohos on oither train was felt by but few pas sengers. Tne engineers saved the trains by reversing tne engines and had almost sucoeeJed in .stopping them when they came together. Sodden Attack of Dysentery Cured. A prominent lady of Brooklyn. N.

HELD IN COMMON JAIL .Levanting Lawyer nt Once Applies for Habeas Corpus Proceedings, Alleging Warrant of Com mittal Defective. VICTORIA. B. C., Aug. 19. Coorge JV Collins, the lawyer who fled from San Franelsoe. July 9, when on trial for bigamy, and was arrested here July IS. at the instance of the San Francisco polk on a charge of perjury, was committed for extradition this morning by Judge Lampman. The prisoner cannot. undr the law, be surrendered for IS days and In the meantime will appeal. He gave notice this morning that lie wiH tak habeas corpus proceedings before a Su preme Court Judge, two having already refused to Issue a writ for his realeaAc . Judge Lampman. In committing Collins for extradition, said he coukl not enter tain the prisoner's contentions that per jury was not an extraditable offense; that j the. affidavit, because of which perjury was oharged. was not a necessary one; ; that tho Superior Court at San Francisco had no Jurisdiction In the maintenance of action in which the perjury was made, or the depositions and documents sent from San Francisco were not sufficiently authenticated. The defense had relied much on a contention that the oath was not properly administered, but Judge Lampman said tho evidence of the notary. Henry, was conclusive that Collin had taken an oath; the facts shown consti tuted perjury under the laws of Canada and it was not shown that they did not under the laws of California. As to the allegfd contract of marriage with Agnes Newman, in 1SSS. followed by the religious ceremony of ISM. when it was alleced tho name of Charlotta New man had been placed in the records by mistake. Judge Lampman said the evi dence, of the prosecution was so complete that he coukl not accept the evidence of Collins. It was at variance with that of all other witnesses and J. J. Groom, court clerk, of San Francisco, had sworn that the indorsement of tho nanvj George D. Collins and Charlotta Collins, on the Iwck of the marriage certificate, was in Collins handwriting. It was not alleged that Groom was on of the many alleged conspirators and It was remarkable, if Collins had then mar. rled Agnes Newman, as he alleged, that he should write the name of her sister Charlotta on the wedding certificate. The evidence was sufficient to warrant that the prisoner be extradited, and It was his duty to notify tho accused that he would not be surrendered for 1 davs. Collins, this aftomoon. comraenued his tight against the decision of Judge Lampman that he be extradited to San Francisco for trial for perjury, by apply ing to Justine Duff for habeas corpus pro ceedings, on the grounds that the war rant of committal by Judge Lampman was defective In that It did not contain a recital that such evidence was produced as warranted the committal under tho extradition act. that It did not mention the substance of the oOTensn t perjury. Mr. Taylor. K. C, for Collins, argued that th warrant was consequently fatally defective, but Justice Dun" raid he could not hold with the contention ad vanced, unless further authorities were quoted, and the case was remanded until Tuesday morning for further argument. It being descided to imprison the fugitive lawyer In the common Jail pending the hearing. Heretofore he had been released in custody of guards. Collins Keeps Out or Jn!l. VICTORIA. B. C. Aug. 1. Arrange ments were made tonight to allow George D. Collins, today committed for extradi tion, similar liberty as previously allowed him, with the provision that he be con stantly accompanied by a guard, whom he is to pay. until the determination of the habeas corpus proceedings RULES TO BE REPUDIATED NORTHWESTERN ATHLETIC ASSO CIATION LOSES ITS PRESTIGE. Colleges Have Nothing Xomt to Govern Them In Their Relations With Erich Other. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON. Soattle, Aug. 19. (Special.) Promi nent students on the campus and resid ing In Seattle are wondering what the culmination of the tangled condition of tne rules of the Northwest Inter-Arau-teur Athletic Association will be. It cmanatos from the Washington man agement that the University of Orogon has agreed to abide by the rule of this association during the coming football season, so far as its relation ship wltn the University of Washing ton goes, but In contests with other institutions will entirely repudiate the Notthwost rules. It Is understood here that the Oregon Agricultural College has also determined to abolish these rules. With regard to the University of Idaho It Is positively known that her athletes are Ignoring the provisions of tho N. I. A. A., whilq Pullman makes no proteases of abiding by them. With affairs in this Jumble it is man ifestly difficult to determine the final ity of it all, or to figure out by what rules the colleges of the Northwest will be governed in their intercollegiate relations. Obviously the Northwest In tercollegiate Athletic Association has become passe, no longor to be regard ed as binding. The colleges of the Northwest stand without rule to gov ern their behavior toward each other. Professionalism Is rife, such men as Roosevelt, Middleton, Thorpe, Weller. Anderson, GUpatrlck Snow and Drink er amply attesting the fact. The clause In article I division 2. of the by-law of the N. I. A. A., referring to eligibility requiring a member of any athletic team to be a bona fide student of at least half a year's attendance at the college he represents, has been re peatedly violated and there is no dispo sition to cease doing so. Just how the .student body here stands on the matter is not ascertain able at the present time. but. Judging by the opinions of several of the most influential students, one would think the consensus of opinion to be that the rules of the defunct association ought to be at least modified, and sevoral changes made. However, it seems cer tain taere will be considerable diverg ence of opinion between the V. of O. and the University of Washington. Apropos of the question of profes sionalism. President E. A. Bryan, of the Washington Agricultural College, said recently: "I do not say that students engaging In professional atnlctlcs during the Summer should be excluded from the colleges and universities. By no means. Welcome them rather. But do not allow them to participate In college athletic contests. If they must make money In that way during the Summer it Is to be regretted, and should be no bar to college work, but should be to col legiate and Intercollegiate contosts. They will find plenty of opportunity for the necessary physical training without engaging In the contosts." This view of Prosldent Bryan' un doubtedly Is sharod with most of the Puljman students. On some points Ore gon dlffors from Pullman, according to J aavices received here, and ajnington differs from both. Motor Cyclists Hold Tourney. CAMBRIDGE. Mass.. Aug. 19. (Spe cial.)

CHICAGO. Aug. 19. (Special.) An an noymous letter says defamatory postal cards sent to Rev. Myron W. Haynes. some of them written by a woman of the congregation of the Belden-Avenue Baptist Church, promise to stir up a big ger sensation than has the blacklisting circular sent out by the Western Passen ger Association. Immediately prosecution and legal action for defamation of char acter will result. Mr. Haynes has re frained heretofore from taking action from a desire to avoid unpleasant public ity, but now that the charges made by the railroads have been brought to the public attention. It Is said that all reason for secrecy has been removed. Mr. Haynes has been the recipient of a num ber of annoymous letters, some of which have come to him very recently. Postal cards bearing scandalous mepjages have reached him through the malls and simi lar cards have been sent to the board of trustees. Government detectives are now working on the case. Some of tho postal cards arc said to have been signed with the name of the stepmother of Miss Gray, who figures In the charges made by the Western Passenger Association. Mrs. Gray, who lives in Genesee, HI.. Is ac cuwd of having written the most scurri lous attacks upon the pastor and Miss Gray, and to have sent these openly on the postal cards so that anyone might road them. John P. Branham. chairman of the board of trustees of the church, has received cards of this nature. Mr. Branham today denied that a meeting of the board had been called for next Mon day to enter Into a trial of Dr. Haynes on tho railroad charges. There will not be a meeting of the board until Mr. Haynex returns from his vacation." said Mr. Branham. "I have notified Dr. Haynes that tho two boards, the deacon and the trustees, will meet at the pleasure of the pastor to hear what he may have to soy. There will be no church trial, for we are convinced that Dr. Haynes committed no Inten tional wrong In securing half-rate trans portation to Seattle for Nellie Gray, her brother and the latter's wife." As to the charges concerning Nellie Gray, Mr. Branham declared they bad been In vestigated and exploded, and that abso lutely no attention would be paid to them. Dr. Haynes Is now at his Summer home at AWcn. Mich., with his family. He has written a full statement to Mr. Branham. In which he asserts his innocent of any In tent to defraud the railroad by represent ing the Grays to be dependont members of his family. It has developed that the in formation given the Western Passenger Association about the tickets to Seattle .came from a person closely associated with tho Beldcn-avenue Church.

The pneumatic tube system, which Is used with great success in Eastern cities, will at a near date be filling Its Import ant functions In the local postoffice. Everything Is ready for the Installation of the system, and all that deters the postal authorities from giving this city that Improvement is the proper location at the ferries. The Government forbids the placing of the system in other than buildings which will insure permanency. The present building at the ferries occupied by the poetofnee is regarded as a temporary structure. ami the only location suitable will be In the Ferry building. The harbor commissioners have been applied to for space and if they grant the request tho work will begin immediately. About SO per cent of the local mail passes through tho Ferry Postoffice, and when that station, with Its force of clerks. Is transferred to the new building at Seventh and Mission, the postal service of this city is going to be greatly hampered. The business community of this city as well as others were considerably Interested over the matter, and the agitation re sulted In the department at Washington giving It serious attention. A committee consisting of Alexander Grant. Assistant General Superintendent of the Railway Mall Service, with head quarters at Washington; J. H. Crew, Su perintendent of Railway Adjustment, and T. J. Ford, Superintendent of Mails of the local Postoffice, was appointed to look Into the matter. In conjunction with them a committee on pneumatic tubes, which was composed of J. M. Masten and F. H. Vallle. -both assistant superintendents of Railway Mall Service, and J. H. Crew, all having headquarters at Washington, was appointed to find a solution of the problem. The committees concluded that if quar ters could be secured la the Ferry build ing, the tube system would be installed. The amount of space required is about 96 feet by 2S feet. This is considered large enough to make the office a dispatch and carrier station. The plan is to connect the Ferry station with the General Post office at Seventh and Mission, and to make & branch of Station K, near the Palace hotel. In time. It Is figured that another connection will be made to the station at Third and Townsend streets. The tube Is eight Inches In the clear, and each carrier will hoki 43 letters. At a test recently made at Chicago, IV). OX) letters were sent through In one hour. San Francisco mall Is about 3M.G00 letters per day. and with the tube system local mail could be handled with great effici ency. The majority of the mall will be worked and sorted at the main Postoffice, and pent through the tube to the Ferry Station, where It will be pouched for trains and steamers. All Incoming mail will be sent directly to the main Post office. QPHDCQ nOQQ CPUMIT7 OUUI lkJ UUUU OW1 I 111 t 1 Snn Francisco Grand Jury Severely Condemns Mnyor's Hulc. SAN FRANCISCO; Aug. 13.

Lord Jvltchener Is certainly at tho present moment the best general Eng land possesses. His victorious cam paigns, conducted under very unfavor able circumstances, assure him a dis tinguished position in the history of his country; but his obstinacy and the absolutism of his opinions have always made his relations with the authorities somewhat difficult. On the other hand, It must be admitted that his reorgan ization of the Indian army has greatly facilitated the defense of the Indian empire. OnlyTvo Failed nt Salem. SALEM, Or..
