THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, JUNE 9, 1907. 13 TROLLEY LIE BEST Withycombe Says It Will Solve Road Problem. TALKS TO THE FARMERS Director of Agricultural College Con ducts Scries of Institutes la Washington County Dairy men Need Rapid Transit. HILLSBORO. Or.. June 8. (Special.) Hon. James Withycombe, vice-director of the Oregon Agricultural College, today conducted h. farmers' Institute In this clly, there being a large attend ance. This is the fifth held In Wash ington County thig week, the other sessions being held at Sherwood, laurel. Forest Grove and Banks. Mr. Withycombe has traveled all over the state the past six years, and this be ing his home county, his visit here and what he said were of more than usual significance. He said, after discussing agricultural conditions here: "Washington County, by reason of Its location and rich Soil, is destined io become the home of the small farmer. Dairying, fruit growing and truck farming will be the principal fea tures of this section. This county has already made a splendid development along the line of dairying. Last year nearly a million dollars' worth of canned cream and great quantities of butter fat were produced. The milk can is in evidence everywhere. New and handsome farmhouses and modern and capacious barns are going up in all directions. Large farms are being subdivided, and the small, well-fertilized farm is rapidly gaining su premacy. "The greatest problem confronting your county today is tho road prob lem. ' Tt will require the very best of macadam roads to withstand the wear and tear of the heavy loads of milk hauled In the Winter time. Such roads will cost from 13000 to J5000 per mile and perhaps the county trolley sys tem, as advocated by the recent State Grange, will bo the practical solution of this ever-present problem. The plan ls certainly worthy of thorough .consideration. Kven If you construct macadam roads the cost of hauling per ton per mile will be at least 15 cents, wlille the trolley cost has been demon strated at but 5 cents or less. The lower cost, and the rapid transit, therefore, present the trolley idea In a favorable lisht. "These lines, if constructed, should nut be built parallel with the lines of 'railway now in existence, or under construction, but as nearly as possible lie placed at right angles, so as to be used G3 feeders. There is a good pros pect for readjustment of tariff schedules In the near future, and If ihls shall be effected the cost of steel rails, diminished, will not make county trnlloy building prohibitory." l'rofessor c. E. Bradley, assistant rhtinlHt at the State Experiment Sta tion, lectured on "Plant . Food is Soils"; Mr. Ida Kidder, assistant sec retary of the State Library Associa tion, addressed the meeting on tbe sub ject of traveling libraries for farmers: Mrs. Austin T. Buxton lectured on home economics; William Schulmerlcn, of Farmlngton, this county, delivered an instructive address on ''Manage ment of the Dairy Herd." E. T. Judd, of Turner, tooK up the question of the draft horse. PHINTKR SAVKS STATE $11,000 Duniway's Charges Much Less Than Those Made Two Years Ago. SALEM, Or., June S. (Special.) The issuance of a state warrant for $12,356 in favor of State Printer Duniway a few days ago, in payment' for Legis lative printing, forms a basis for an interesting comparison with the cost of printing heretofore. Two years ago the warrant for Legislative printing was for J3.6". 2. or Jl 1,316 greater than this yar. If tlie printing for the session of 197 was heavier than for the session of 1905, Mud the force of printers em ployed was greater, it is evident that the Legislative printing of two years ago yielded a clear profit to the printer of considerably more than $11,315, assuming that Duniway makes at least a ff.tr profit on the work he did for $12, 356. Duniway saved this $11,000 for the state by Inducing the Legislature to adopt a simpler form of calender, which cut down the expense for that ono item JSoOO, and by printing fewer forms of receipts where many forms were printed heretofore. By introduc ing economical methods of having printing done, ho was able to reduce tiie expeime to the state during the 40 days of the Legislature $11,000. The $12. .156 for which the warrant was issued does not represent clear profit to Duniway. for out of that lie must vay ills typesetters, pressmen, foremen, office help and other expenses of a printing office. LICK OX THE ENGLISH HOPS Tacoma Dealer Receives Cable The Coast Yards Show l"p Fine. TACOMA. Wash.. June S. Special.)

Mr. Hardy recently completed a trip to the principal Oregon tiop yards, which he says are looking lust as line as they did at this time last rear, when that state produced a bumper :rup. SIXDAY CLOSING IX SALEM Curtains Drawn Back From Win dows of All Thirst Resorts. SALEM. Or.. June 8. Special.)-Th Sunday closing question, now uppermost i the problem of saloon regulation in Portland, was fought out In Salem two r three years ago, and only recently a ery satisfactory solution was found. For years it was the practice of Salem ta loons to sell liquors on Sunday. While .hey kept their front doors locked they lept their back doors or aide doors open, ibout three years ago. W. P. Drew, then i professor In Willamette University, indertook to enforce the state law. He lad nearly all the liquor dealers arrest d. The cases hung In the Justice's court lor several months and after convictions -era had an appeal was taken, the sa oonmen claiming that the city had ex iluslve control of the llqaor traffic. The ocel option law was not Involved In those ses, and the only question was whether the state law forbidding sales on Sunday affected cities. At first the saloonmen in sisted that they would fight the case to the highest court, but before a decision in the Circuit Qourt was reached it be came apparent that public opinion was strongly against the attitude the saloons had taken and they gave up. - They paid their fines, agreed to keep closed on Sun day and the prosecutions ended. As a rule the promises were kept. About? three months ago the City Coun cil enacted an ordinance that has proved to be a most effective saloon law. It requires closing at midnight every night and that ealoons be closed all day Sun day. During the hours when liquor-selling Is forbidden, the curtains and screens must be removed, so that from the side walk a complefe view -of the interior of the saloon may be had. There Is probably not another city In the United States where the saloon men obey a closing ordi nance as strictly as they do now in Sa lem. When the clock strikes 12 they clear the barrooms, count their cash, draw the curtains, lock the doors and go home. At ten minutes after 12 every saloon is entirely vacant Night police officers say that the new ordinance lias reduced disorder 60 per cent. Since men cannot get liquor after midnight, they go home and to bed and are ready to go fo work next morning. The Sunday-closing law does not pre vent drinking on Sunday, and it is not uncommon to see men staggering on tbe streets Sunday evening. Bartenders are particularly well pleased over the change. They have CASTLE ROCK SEPTUAGENARIAN WINS YOUTHFUL BRIDE ..I ,J i if V MR. AND MRS. JOHN ROBIN. CASTLE ROCIC. Wash., June S- (Special.) John Robin, a pioneer of this section who sawed the first shingles in this state, was quietly married at Seattle last Monday evening to Miss Margaret M. Le Lacheur, of St. John, N. B. This marriage is the outcome of a pleasant little ro mance. It appears that Mr. Robin and the father and uncle of the bride were cronies In their young days, in fact were distantly related. Mr. Kobin came out to this Coast many years ago, while still a young man. and the brothers lost track of him. A year" or two ago they learned where he was and a correspondence ensued. Miss Margaret, who had never seen her present husband, as he left homo many years before she was born, also wrote to him. as be was considered as really one of the family. Last Summer Mr. Robin, accompanied by his granddaughter. Miss Ruth Thayer,- of this city, visited the scenes of nls boyhood days, and met the young lady who is tiovr bis wife. A strong friendship grew up between them, which culminated in their marriage. Mr. Robin, who is a septuagenarian, is the father of the present Mayor of this city, T. W. Robin, besides several other sons and one daughter, and nas numerous grandchildren. At a late hour last evening a number of his friends, including the leading business men of' the city, "serenaded" the happy couple, the musical instru ments consisting of horns, saws and guns. They were received gra ciously and went away smoking the best cigars to be obtained in the city, full of admiration for the fair bride and praises for Uncle John for his good taste. Sunday to themselves and usually spend it In the country driving, hunt ing or fishing. Though the prosecu tions under the state law resulted in closing saloons on Sunday. It was fear of public sentiment rather than fear of penalties that induced liquor deal ers to comply with the statute. It was frequently asserted that If the saloon men fought the Sunday-closing cases and won in the courts. Salem would go "dry" in a local option election. The liquor dealers evidently came to the conclusion that this statement was probably true. Prosecution under the state law which .District Attorney Manning now invokes brought about the desired re sults. HANS JOHANSEN IS FOUND Man Thonght to Be Murdered Turns Up at Lumber Camp.
