Army of Unemployed Is Cause of Great Strife Sacramento With the unemployed army safely isolated across the river in Yolo county, while Sacramento and Yolo counties fight out in the courts the right to keep them there, the prosecution of the leaders of the army was started by the arraignment of the men who were arrested as vagrenta. ' General" James Kelley, with six others, pleaded not guilty to the charge of vagrancy and demanded jury trial. A vote was taken by the "army" to march peaceably through Sacramento on the way East, if the police would permit. Permission was refused by the Sacramento officers. Chairman Stitt, of the Yolo supcr visers, and District Attorney Bailey, of the same county, asked that the Sacramento guards be removed from the bridge and let the army disperse, but this request also was turned down. The Yolo officers then threatened to start injunction proceedings to enjoin Sacramento from guarding the bridges and this action is now awaited. The unemployed occupied a peculiar position, according to the Yolo county ! officers. With water in the lolo Basin shutting off a march to the ! south, west and north, they say the army has only one direction to take arid that is eastward across the bridges into Sacramento. Harris Weinstock, a member of the United States Industrial Relations commission, interviewed "General" Kelley in the county jail and obtained Kelley'a views on the labor conditions. He showed Kelley how futile would be a trip to Washington and Kelley fin ally admitted that such a trip would avail nothing. Much of Wheat Crop Remains With Farms Washington, D. C.

The plan which was suggested by J. A. Churchill, state superintendent of schools, has met with the approval of many superintendent of other states, and Mr. Churchill has assurances that they will co-operate. Mr. Churchill wrote to various state superintendents several weeks gu, aakiiig that they send winners in the school industrial contests to the proposed congress, explaining that programs could be arranged for boys and girls of the varioua atates detail ing their experiences in preparing ex hibits. "In nearly all the states," said Mr. Churchill, "the departments of educa tion have answered. Indorsing the movement and many have offered to co-operate-in arranging for the Indus ' trial congrea. The Induitrial work In some states Is being directed by O. H. Benson, of the United States de partment of agriculture, and these states do not wish to pledge them selves to sending their winners until Professor Benson sanctions the plan." Montana. Nebraska. Washington, California. Oklahoma, Minnesota. Utah. Georgia. Ohio, Tcnneasee, Kansas, Vermont. West Virginia. Wy oming, Massachusetts, Iowa, Wiscon sin and Louisiana, Mr. Churchill said, were arranging to aend children to the congress. Oregon has arranged to send In winners of the 10 classes at the State Fair next fall to the congress. Vast Tract Re-forested; Work Still Goes On Eugene Completion of the five-year task of re-foresting Mount He bo, in Tillamook county, and the beginning of an experiment with the foreatation of the sand dunes about Gardiner, are announced by H. L. Rankin, super visor of the Siunlaw national foreit. The Mount Hebo burn, which was one of the largest tracts of burned over land in the West, was caused by the great fire of 1861. when the In dians set fire to the timber of the Coast and destroyed vust areas. Much of this was re-forested through nat- Oats Fed to Cows Do Not Flavor Milk Washington, D. C. The department of agriculture recently reported the result of the experiments to test the effect of oats on the flivor of milk. These experiments showed that oats do not have the beneficial effect on the flavor of milk which many dairy men believe. But as corn and bran constituted the ration tested against oats, the public has gained the im pression erroneously that the depart ment recommends the feeding of corn and bran to improve the flavor of milk. Of 50 opinions expressed re garding the flavor of the samples 25 preferred the milk from cons fed corn and bran. As 16 preferred the milk from cows fed oats and nine expressed no choice, it does not appear that either ration has any decided advant age over the other. There can be no great superiority in the bran and corn when onf-half of the opinions either were indifferent or were in favor of the other milk. In view of these experiments the de partment does not recommend the feeding of bran and corn to improve the flavor of milk. Oats, corn, alfal fa hay, cottonseed meal, linseed meal, bran, gluten and other good feeds for dairy cows, when properly fed in reas onable amounts, produce a fine-flavored milk, but there is no substantial evidence that any one of them is su perior to any of the others in this re spect. Mrs. Feb to Contribute. Philadelphia Funds for the promo tion of the cause of the single tax Idea in this country and abroad, to which the late Joseph Fels contributed, will continue to receive support from his widow, it was announced here. Speak ing for Mrs. Fels, Walter Coats, of London, said: "No movement will be dropped, no cause forgotten, that had the support of Mr. Fels." It is estimated that Mr. Fels spent more than a quarter of a million dol lars every year in promoting the cause of the single tax in various countries. Madagascar Wind-Swept. Paris The minister of colonies re ceived a cable dispatch from the gov ernor general of Madagascar saying that a cyclone and tidal wave devas tated the northwest region of the is land March 3. Sixteen persons were killed and several vessels sunk, including the schooners M arson in and Jeanne d'Arc. Hundreds of buildings were destroyed or seriously damaged. Farmers Seek Markets for Loganberry Products Salem Organization of the logan berry growers of the state looking to obtaining adequate markets, will be made at a meeting of grower in this city soon. The acreage devoted to this crop having been materially increased this year, many growers became fearful some time ago that they would suffer for lsck of demand. Plans for exploit ing the berry and creating new mar kets have been made. Professor C. I. Lewis, of the Ore gon Agricultural college, who is aid ing in the formation of the organiza tion, Bsys one of its objects will be to standardize the fruit. "A bureau of statistics will be es tablished," he said, "which will ob tain all information possible for use in advertising and distributing the ber ries through mediums already estab lished. Arrangements will be made for shipping the fresh fruit, berry juice, canned berries, jams and jellies." Farmers Plan Cannery; Will Buy or IJuild Eugene Seventy farmers, at a meeting here, voted to incorporate within a few days the Eugene Farm ers' Creamery as a co-operative com- pany, with a capital of 16000, the greater part of which has been sub scribed. A committee was appointed to draft a constitution, and it is ex pected the company will be in opera tion shortly. Chris Myhre, of Junction City, president of the Oregon-Idaho Butter makers, presided and suggested that one of the present creameries in Eu-' gene be purchased in preference to the establishing of a new one. Both creameries have set prices, and the owner of one has offered to remain as manager of a co-perative plant. The offers are being considered. National Balloon Race at Portland Kose Festival Portland Portland's Rose Festival this year will te of national promi nence as the scene of the annual Na-; tional Balloon meet which is to be held here under the auspices of the American Aero club, of New York.

Salem Starvation and exhaustion are given as the cause of the death of George Smith, 65 year old, whose txxiy was round in a barn at West Stavton. Smith and a friend. J.

Tillamook Deputy Game and Fish Warden Leach released 24 pair of Hungarian pheasants east of town. ural agencies, but the tract in Tilla mook county was too vast an area for the wind to carry the tree seeds, hence the work has had to be under taken by man' hand. In all 6000 acres will have been re-planted, and it is estimated that the whole tract will be bearing saw timber within 40 years. Another tract of equal size lies In the northwestern portion or i.ane county, back of Cape Perpctua, and the re forestation of this tract next will be undertaken. Supreme Court Decides Dry" Vote Is Valid Salem In denying a rehearing in the case of W. B.

The Washington county opinion was the main one, all other local options hinging upon the decision in that suit. Additional arguments, but no points that had not been considered before. were submitted by lawyer for the saloon men in briefs tendered with the motion for rehearing. Justice Eakin, who wrote the original opinions, in an oral statement said that the court ad hered to it original decree.

The farmers objected to the Wild West show in connection with the fair, eon- tending that it detracted from the ex hibit and other features.
