of this city who disappeared from his
home Monday morning, was ifound In
Edenbower late yesterday afternoon
by a resident of that aection who

few feet of the tree tops. He skim
med the woods over all of the can
yons and ridges about the city, see
ing several TTeer, three of them with
in a half mile of the city limits, and
several stray sheep. He received no
remuneration for this flight and af
ter concluding his search yesterday
evening offered to go out again In

ed. However, the boy has been re
turned to his home In the southern
part of the city.

FARMERS SEE WAY

Practical Demonstration at

A demonstration ot dry laud

Verm place, u hall mile went of lh'
Kdenbower railroad crossing that it;
an educational feature in iim-lf, and
proves that increased production h
the slogan of Douglas cuuiiiy puoplo.
Believing that the farmers of the
L'mpqua valley would appreciate
anything that would demonstrate
how grnin acreage mhjrht success
fully be increased and the probIti:i
of feeding the world to that extent
be solved. Mr. C. A. Lockwood, of
the Lockwood Motor Co., this city,
authorized Ford aud Fordson agents,
determined to show the thing could
be accomplished.
Sparing no expense, that the event
flhould be all that it was intended to
be, Mr. Lockwood arranged with
various auxiliary manufacturing
companies to have representatives on
the ground at this time, and for the
past two or three days the work hat
been carried on. The tract selected
was a pince of genuine blank land,
commonly known In local parlance as
"black mud," but this term can only
be applied when the rainy Reason is
on. At the present time the land
dry and hard the very hardest sort
the county has. This black land in
aluo the heaviest soil and capable of
greater production than any other
land In the county, excepting first
river bottom tracts: Ordinarily in
nlowing this sort of land farmers
have been accustomed to working it
during tho rainy season, and not in
frequently water would follow the
furrow as It was plowed. In fact, it
's impossible to plow mich land with
an ordinary moldboard plow unless
it is very wet. In some Instances dise
nlowp have been used when the land
was dry. but three and four gon.l
horses were required, and when
quite dry there is hardly enough
weight In the slnple plow to keep
the implement In the ground, so that
such a process was not the most suc
cessful, and neither would the plow
go deep enough.
With the Fordson tractors and a
double disc plow attached, all these
undesirable features of farming such
lands have been overcome. It was
successfully demonstrated yesterday
and Monday that the farmer no
longer need wait for the rainy sea
son, as the work can be done most
thoroughly at this time with a Ford
?on and an Oliver disc plow. The
Fordson developed all the power
necessary and to spare In handling a
double disc plow that cut to a depth
of approximately eight to ten inches
in the hard soil in fact, as Mr. Ver
riil stated, fully three to four inches
deeper than It had ever been plowed
before with horse-drawn implements,
eiihr moldboard or disc.
The machine never missed a foot
of land, but turned the soil over as
evenly and smoothly as any plow
would do under the most favorable
conditions. More thau this, the
speeding up feature was a thing not
to be overlooked, as one man with a
Fordson and double disc can do the
work of three men and nine flist
class draft horses -do it easier and
better, with the result of greator
yields in the harvest. This is a mont
conservative estimate, and one would
be quite safe In saying that the trrtc
for combination would take the plnce
of four men u;.d their tennis, and
still be within the bounds of reason
able assertion. In truth, the horsi
drawn plow cannot compete with the
Fordson at any point, and thg fact
was conceded by every man who saw
the demonstration.
Features that were noticeable to a
marked degree In the demonstration
were:
Kvi n denth of furrow: ease of
oppratlon and saving tof physical
strength to the operator; positive no
tion of lift, the plow and tractor
inir at Instant command of operator;
evidence of excess powr; no delays
on accovnt of tfrd team or wea.-y
plowman: ability to turn over a given
acreage without fail In a diy; the
minimum of fuel ( krosenel. nnd a
maximum of result at nominal cost
for power.
In view of the universal demand
for greater production to offset tb
exodus fron the farming commun'
te to the cities. anhing that en
ables the agriculturists to Increase
production Is engrly sought there
davs of intensified effort, and Pong
las cnuntv farmers are r;s!ng to the
emergency to a remarkable extent,
and the nirny who saw the Fordson
demonstration put on ry th Lvk-1
wood Motor company apprciate th- i
nart this firm Is playing in th Pf. i
fort to met the fue. Many of tho J
progressive farmers who already:
own Fordson tractors were present i
to watch the demonstration and to
J.-urn anything new that might be
brought up. Among the gemUuneu
coining here expressly for the pur
pose of assisting in .the work of
showing what can be dono were:
8. A. Siellwagon, genera! manager
of the Ford Motor Co., Portland; E.
A. Mitchell, of the K. A. Mitchell
Tractor Co.. Portland; C. W. Harri
son, representing the Oliver Chilled
Plow Works, South Bend, Ind.; It.

Co., Portland; F. Griffiths, tractor
service man for the Ford Motor Co.,
Portland; C. Morton, service man for
the Ford Motor Co., Detroit; E. C.
Simons, of tho Ford agency. Eugene.
There were four Fordson tractors
on the demonstration.- One of these
machines handled a double disc
plow, a second demonstrated the
culji-packer. another a double dU
harrow, and the fourth a seed drill.
It was the most complete demonstra
tion given In this section and reflects

Inspect Trout
Hatchery Sites
With the view of locating a suit

burg left this morning for Hock
creek und other points along the
river where they will make inspec

to build an exclusive trout hatchery
on the North Umpn.ua independent of
the salmon hatchery now being main
tained. They went first to flock
creek, where they looked over the
ground, and then dropped back to
the hatchery where they took dinner.
They carried their own provisions
but were given the uno of the kitchen
and dining room at the home of Superintend-
r.t Smith, who is in charg"
of tho North Umpqua hatchery.
They spent some time Inspecting the

were dit-euHsed. The meeting wan
held at the city hall and was attend

sportsmen who are anxious to see the
new trout hatchery built as soon an
possible. A number of good ltes
were proposed and these were listed
In order that each may be Inspected
and given consideration y (he men
who are here for that purpose.
The local spnrtsnien were Informed

to procure a large amount of trout
fry by applying to Mr. ('button and
were assured "f hat the commission
would do all within Its power to s'o
that the local fishermen g 't fish frv
ff desired. The sportsmen expressed
their desire to procure a number of
cans and promised to plve particular
attention to their careful distribution
and release. It in quite probable that
a niimb-T of cans will be senirel
within the next f-w weeks nnd wiM
be released In the North Umpqua

SUPREME POWER
Road Body Has Complete
Jurisdiction In Locating
Highway Instate.
IS THE GENERAL LAW
Supremo Court Holds Tlutt Hie Com
mission l Hut Hound lj Any
Actlmi of the County Court
Is 1'ivo to Locate Itoud.
The town of Kiddie la ereatlv
uvoutit'd ovit tlio ducituon rendered
yesterday by the supreme court iu
t lie road cuae and will probably en-
d avoi- to continue the litigation.
1 n decision in u clear victory for
the commission and ill have an Im
portant bearing on many other case i
now before tlio courts of the state
regarding similar' situations. The
decision provides that the commlf
siou can locate roads wherever they
are deemed of Iho most advantage.
Iho opinion was written by Justice
llurnett. with the remaining Judges
concurring.
"I he main contention nn tho nart
of the plaintiff and respondent, and .
the one upon which the court below
rested its decision In plaintiffs
favor," said Justice Ilurnott in his
opinion, "was that the highway com
mission had no authority to create
or lay out a new road, but that this
authority was vested exclusively In
thi) county courts. Also that tho
highway commission could only
designato or adopt roads which al
ready were county roads and publlo
highways, as a part of the slate
system of roads.
"Tho not of 1H7 provides for a
general system of state highways,
consisting of trunk roads along the
muln routes of travel and commerce,
with branch linos extending out Into
every portion of the state. It pro
vides for a highway commission,
w hoso power, authority and duty ar
not confined to any ono porRon or
thing, or to any one county or place,
but are general and oxlend to every
hnmlet-and neighborhood the
slate.
"The courts have found much dif
ficulty sometimes, in close cases, in
distinguishing between general laws
on the one hand, and local and spe
cial ones upon tho other, but here
I he uct is so broad in Us scopu, so
general In lis iinture, that (here Is
little if any room for questioning Its
character as a general law.
"It seems perfectly plain, from all
of the various provisions, that It was
the Intention of the legislature that
the highway commission should have
liower to lay out. designate aud im
prove roads where there had previ
ously been no highways. Otherwise,
why should there have been any pro
vision for acquiring righta of way,
.:nd why any provisions as to local
changes, and why the distinction
between statu and county roads, and
tho provision for the definite loca
tion of roads by the Btate engineer?
lliimlhnp .Seen Otherwise.
"If this were not the proper con
struction It would be Impossible for
the commission to work out any com
plete system of connecting roads.
The commission would bo entirely at
iho mercy of the county couns, and
would have to follow the roads as
.lejiignntod by tho county courts how
ver difficult tho grades and align
ment might bo. lt would entirely
prevent tho commission from taking
advnntnge of any cutotTs or now
filignmonis. however much bettor th
new route might bo than the old one.
"W'e do not think that the road
by Kiddle was officially and definite
ly located as the 1'nclflc highway
prior to the act of 1 f 1 7 . or at ony
time thereafter. The agreement be
iwien the county court and Mr. ficti
on ( If there was such an agreement )
ai rot with the communion, and
' tis tint In any way binding upon
Urn' body.
"The most that can he claimed
froii tho evidence, it seems to us. is
thnt there it some room for question
mr to whether the location fixed by
'he commission was preferable to
t-e o'ber route. Tho commission
