SAVING THE SOIL.
University of Illinois Sends Out Val
uable Booklet.
Chicago Illinois recently took a
leading place in the national move
ment for the advancement of scientific
farming when 60,000 booklets on
"Saving the Soil" were mailed out to
farmers through out the state. This
campaign which is in line with that of
the National Irrigation congress,
which meets in Chicago in December,
is to be advanced from time to timj by
experts of the university of Illinois
and will be directed by Dr. Cyril 11.
Hopkins, chief in agronomy. Dr.
Hopkins is said by many to be the
foremost soil expert in the United
St tes and he has the co-operation in
this educational campaign of the
Bankers' association of Illinois. This
association represents 1.4S0 banks.
with more than $1,500,000,000 of
banking assets, all concerned vitally
in preserving the richness of Illinois
soil. The booklet mailed to the farm
ers is from the pen of Dr. Hopkins,
and Richard L. Crampton, secrtary of
the Bankers' association, has announc
ed that a second booklet is in course
of preparation bv Dr. Hi pkins, of
which half a million copies are to be
distribute "d.
"Scientific farm work extending
over a period of several years,"
S lys Mr. Crampton, "has proved the
method so good that it apears imper
ative to interest every fanner in the
state right now. The university
authorities are unanimous in the opin
ion that no other single agency could
so well serve the university as the
Bankers' assocuitii n, and were asked
to undertake the movement. We feel
it our duty to do so and consider it a
privilege to carry on such work for
the state as a wh le. "
Dr. Hopkins, who is interested in
the work of the National Irrigation
congress in Chicago this year, has pre
pared, through study and extensive
travels, many tables of statistics con
cerning average crop yields in the
different states of the I'nion against
the yields of various foreign countries.
The wheat yield at the university's
experiment farm has been made twenty-seven
bushels to the acre, while the
average Illinois yield for the last six
years has been only seventeen bushels.
Friends of this movement in other
states will ''gather much information
from the nineteenth session of the Ir
rigation congress at Chicago Decem
ber 5 to 9.
GRAIN BAG COST MAY RISE.
Early Purchase Recommended to In
land Growers' Association.
Pendleton, Or. Believing the price
of grain bags is going to be higher be
fore the harvest season arrives, C. A.
Barrett, president of the Inland Grain
growers' association, will recommend
that an early purchase of bags for the
members of the association be made.
He is authority for the stuteim-nt
that some of the' growers of the coun
ty have already entered into contracts
at 6J cents and he is of the opinion
that no better than this can be ex
pected. Last year the organization
secured sacks at less than 6 cents
apiece for its members.
At the annual meeting Saturday the
board of directors voted to wait an
other week for additional bids before
placing the contract. Several bids
were received and opened, but none
was accepted. The amount of the bids
was not given out, but Mr. Barret in
timated that the best one was in the
vicinity of 7 cents.
SOUND FETE CHRISTENED.
Seattle Carnival Called "Golden Pot
latch, "97."
Seattle The Seattle Carnival com
mittee has chosen a name for its sum
mer festival, which is to be made an
annual event. It will be known as
"Golden Potlatch, '97," with a subtle
"A Hot Time in a Cool Place."
The "97" refers to the arrival of
the steamhip Portland from Alaska,
July 17,' 1897, with the first cargo of
Klondike gold dust. The festival will
include this date every year, which is
also the height of the flower and early
fruit season.
Closer Union Projected.
Victoria, B. C. Sir Joseph Ward,
premier of New Zealand, accompanied
by Lady Ward and suite, arrived here
on the Moana, en rout" to the imper
ial conference of over-seas premiers to
he held in London next month. Sir
Joseph will advocate the formation of
an imperial parliament in which all
over-seas dominions of Great Britain
shall be represented in proportion to
population. The proposed parliament
would t-ike over all questions of for
eign policy and defense and Beck
closer union in trade laws.
Chinese Attack American.
Shanghai -The Rev. John Murray,
of the American Presbyterian mission
at Tsi Nan Fu, was attacked by Chi
nese March 28 while making pastoral
visits at a point 17 miles north of that
place. He was badly injured about
the head and body and was brought
back to the mission by a government
escort. He is now considered out of
danger. An absurd report had been
circulated among the Chinese that Mr.
Murray had stolen a child.
Hundreds D.e of Plague.
Amsterdam Reports of a serious
outbreak of the plague are coming
from the southeastern part of Java.
It is stated that 350 cases, of which
221 proved fatal, have developed.
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND
PROGRESS OF
ROUTES PUSHED WESTWARD
Oregon Electric Right of Way Reach
es Santiam.
Salem Ritht of way for the ex
tension of the Oregon Electric railway
company south from Salem to Albany
and Eugene has been procured as far
as the Santiam river, a point more
than half way between Sulem and Al
bany, except for three or four sec
tions, to obtain which condemnation
proce "dings will be brought in the
Circuit court for Marion county at
once unless pending settlements are
reached.
The Oregon Electric's right of way
between Albany and Salem will be
two and eight-tenths miles shorter
than the Southern Pacific right of way
and the Southern Pacific right or way
is 2$ miles long. The rails to be used
between Salem and Eugene are 90
pound rails. The electric railway ex
pects to make the run between Eugene
and Portland with its through trains
in 21 hours, and with regular trains
three hours. Trains are to operate
between Portland and Eugene in IS" 12,
unless there is difficulty in getting
bridge material for tne structures
across the Santiam and Willamette
rivers. The Willamette will be
crossed near Harrisuurg. near where
the Southern Pacific now crosses that
stream and the Santiam between Sa
lem and Albany.
As soon as the right of way mutters
can be settled, several crews will be
gin construction at didVrent points
alomr the right of way between Salem
and Eugene. It also comes from
source here that preparations are un
der way to double track the Oregon
Electric between Wilsonville and
Portland this summer.
NEHALEM ROADS IMPROVE.
$31,000 Appropriated in Single D s
trict; Cheese Output Larger.
Wheeler The Tillamook county
court is now advertising for bids for
the construction of the first mile of
the Wheeler road, to be built from the
bridge across the south fork of the
Nehalem river to the townsite of
Wheeler. There will be a call for bid
for the remaining mile as soon as th
plats and profiles are made. I Ins is
but one of the many road propositions
to le undertaken by the county court
in this section. In this road district
there has been appropriated $31,000
for road work.
The new cheese factory being erect
ed by K. Zweifel, about one mile
alove Wheeler, is progressing rapidly,
and the factory will be able to com
mence manufacture of cheese about
April 1. The other factories in the
Nehalem valley, three in number, will
also start a!xut April 1. Indications
are for a considerably larger output
from this valley this season than last.
Work on the railroad has been going
ahead rapidly during the past month
of good weather. Track is now laid
for about six miles above Wheeler,
and is going down at about half a
mile per day.
Governor West Plans Parole,
Salem Governor West has devised
another way to prevent building cells
on the roof of the penitentiary for the
keeping of the prisoners. Dr. Calvin
S. White, state health officer, announ
ces that the governor intends to parole
some of the higher class prisoners and
send them out to work on the farm
connected with the state tuberculosis
sanatorium. They will be prisoners
who have nearly finished their terms
and who have not been confined for
the more serious offenses. They will
take the place of the salaried attaches
of the sanatorium, of whom there is
at present such a number that by the
time their salaries are paid there is
not a great deal more than is neces
sary left for the feeding and care of
the patients.
Dr. White says that the newly ap
pointed superintendent. Dr. Fitzger
ald, intends to increase the number of
cows on the place, so that no milk will
have to be bought. They will get
chickens and pigs, and with the crop
ping capacity of the farm be able to
make the institution nearly if not
quite self-sustaining.
Elgin Orders Cement Sidwalkt.
Elgin At a meeting of the city
council an ordinance was ordered
drawn to compel the property-owners
along Front street to put in cement
sidewalks. The council decided not to
institute condemnation proceedings,
but instead ordered the walk placed
on the street line. This will place the
walk three feet from the pi-ople's
property or building line, which if
they cover with cement also will make
a 12-foot walk along their projertios.
Elgin Acrea Win Record Price.
Elgin The record price for raw
land was made Tuesday when Newton
Roberts bought of Henry Hug a five
acre tract at $150 an acre. This land
could have been bought last year at
$00 an acre, and the whole 90 acres
could have been obtained this year for
$100 an acre. The tract, in recent
years, produced CO bushels of wheat
an acre.
Shipment Cost Alleged Great.
Salem Complaining that it costs
$30 to ship a carload of freight from
Medford to Eagle Point, a distance of
only 11 miles, when it cost but $120
to ship the same car from Portland to
Medford, a distance of 329 miles, Von
der Hellen Brothers, of Eagle Point, j
filed a complaint withHhe state rail-
road commission. i
OUR HOME STATE
SCHOOL LAND LEFT.
Total Acreage 1640.885. Half It In
Harney and Malheur.
Salem George Brown, clerk of the
state land board, has completed a re
vised list of tho state school lands yet
unsold. The total remaining acreage
is 540,885. It is shown that in 10
counties there are no more slate lands
to be had: Clackamas, Clatsop, Co
lumbia, Lake, Linn, Marion, Multno
mah, Polk. Washington and Yamhill.
In addition tin re are about 50,000
acres of state school lands included in
national forest reserves, which are
made base for lieu selections. Gover
nor West has recommended that these
lands be selected by the state in one
place and that the state make the 60,
000 acres a state forest reserve, prob
ably in the Cascade rane, adjoining
a government reserve.
The list of counties and acreage of
school lands remaining to be sold in
each are as follows: Baker. 19,840;
Benton. 200; Coos, 120,; Curry, 940;
Crook, 40,200; Douglas, 905; Gilliam,
3,520;; Grant. 21.S40; Harney. 115.
280; Jackson, 400; Josephine, 200;
Klamath, 92.220; Lake, 94.210; Lin
coln, 300; Malheur, 175,520; Morrow,
1.900; I'mntilla. 4,300; I'nion, S.ll);
Wallowa, 3,320; Wasco, 3,500;
Wheeler. 8.100.
This land is now sold by the state at
a minimum of 77.50 jht acre, some
of it selling under bid as high bs $15
per acre. The receipts go to the irre
ducible school fund, which is loaned
out to citizens of the state on good
real estate first mortgage security lit
li per cent interest. The irrinlucible
school fund now equals nearly $t'i.uoii,
000, the interest from which yearly
produces more than $300,MO. which
is apHirlioned among the counties ac
cording to tho number of children in
the counties between the ages of ! and
1 years, as shown by the unnual n il
sus taken by the county school super
intendents. ROOM FOR HOMESTEADERS.
Acreage Open Totals 2.600,00 'of
Which Fifth it Tillable.
Lukeview There are 2,500,000
acres of government land open to en
try and settlement in Lake county, ac
cording to Arthur W. Orton, register
of the I'm ted States land office here.
Of this area about 600,000 acres is
suitable for general agriculture Mini
will produce the ordinary products of
the temperate zone. There are also
alsiut 90,000 acres of lands owned by
the state of Oregon in the county,
which arc for sale at low prices and
on reasonable terms.
This area is one that would seem at
first glance to require some time to
settle were it not that last year in the
government land office here there were
1,311 applications for a total of over
350,000 acres of diversified lands.
Three-tenths of the area of the coun
ty is timbered, three-tenths agricul
tural, three-tenths grazing land and
the other one-tenth mountainous or
rough country thr.t cannot be included
under the other classifications. As
the county has never had any advertis
ing and is so far away from the pres
ent railroad lines, it is remarkable
that so much land should have been
taken last year, arm there is every
evidence that this year will see all the
available valley lands filed upon by
settlers. The present homeseckers
are coming here with sufficient means
to till the lands properly, ur.d show
evidence that they are the real devel
opers of the country. The stockmen
are welcoming the newcomers, as they
feel that the growing of grains and
grasses to feed the many thousands of
head of stock that use the open range
country during the winter season, will
allow them to avail themselves of the
markets in the early spring.
Bonds Git Big Premiums,
Ontario The $47,000 worth of On
tario school (Minds, which were voted
recently to build a 14-room high school
building near the site of the present
12-room public school building, and
for the erection of a four-room public
school building in East Ontario, were
sold at a premium of $2,814, to E. II.
Rollins & Sons, of Denver. This is
believed to be the best sale of school
bonds made in Oregon this year.
There were seven bills for the bonds.
Independence Gets Newcomers.
Independence Many newcomers are
reaching Indcpealonce, and farm and
city property is rapidly changing
hands. One of the largest real estate
deals that has taken place lately was
the sale of Spurling Brothers 202
acres joining Independence. W. W.
Wilson was the purchaser for a consid
eration of $15,000. Mr. Wilson will
cut the place into small tracts. This
is one of the finest farms In Polk
county.
Newberg to Get Library,
Newberg Word was received here
last evening irom Andrew Carnegie
by the ladies having charge of the
public library that he would give $10,
000 towards the erection of a public
library at this place. Al.-endy a line
lot has been given, and it will be nec
essary for the city to give a bonus of
$1,000, which has been agreed to.
Proposed Road Opposed.
Salem To declare invalid an order
of tho Marion County court in 1907,
to construct the hilverton anil Mar-
nuam road under thoTuttl.. act Jo....h
Stupfel, in an action brought against
Marion county, asks that the court ho
restrained from letting a contract for'
the road.
FIGHTING IN PROGRESS.
Mexican Rehole Take Panta Barbara
Atter Hard Fight.
El Paso, Tex.- A stubbornly fought
and bloody battle between SoO insur
gents snd 200 Federal troops has
raged around the little town of Santa
Barbara, southwest of the city of Chi
huahua, since Wednesday morning,
according to a telegram received here
from Parral late Friday night. Both
sides have sent for reinforcements.
Wednesday morning, according to
the Parral dispatch, the insurnctos
attacked and took Santu Barbara, but
before they could strengthen its de
fenses the Federals rallied and at
tempted to retake the place. A body
of 25 rurales charged through the in
surreeto lines and succeeded in reach
ing the municipal building, but were
cut off from the main Federal liody.
They took refuge in the building.
The telegram from Parral does not re
veal their fate.
Finding himself outnumbered. Col
onel Arzamendi, in command of the
Federal troops, sent to Parral for re
inforcements, and the insurrecto lead
ers are said to have dispatched mes
sengers in the direction of the camp
of Madero und Orinoco on a similar
errand.
Neither side had received rcinforce
rvi.ts when the message reached here.
It is said that both sides exhibited the
g r, test coolness and bravery and that
the percentage of killed and wounded
is exceptionally high, considering the
numbers engaged.
NEGOTIATIONS CEGUN.
British Ambassador and American
Secretary Discuss Prare Trmty.
Washington James Pryce, tho Prit
ish ambassador, held a conference Sat -unlay
with Secretary Knox regarding
the proKsed arbitration treaty be
tween the I'nited States mid and Great
lirit in, but negotiations are still in
tentat ive stage.
It is said thiit no bitch has yet I n
encountered and reasonable progress
is being made.
This treaty - the forerunner of its
kind will be presented to the world
as a model for the lessoning of strife
among nations, if it receives the a
proval of the I'nited States senate.
There is no reason for haste, it is
pointed out, and because of the mam
moth task which its importance in
volves, the negotiations will proceed
with deliberation. The administration
w ill endeavor to have it in complete
form for presentation to the senate
before the adjournment of the ap
proaching session of congress.
So far as negotiations have pro
ceeded, it has developed that, while
the treaty will provide for the ai titra
tion of practically all disputes that
may arise between the two countries,
including mutters relating to questions
of honor, it will not provide the ma
chinery for the arbitration of each
specific controversy. That will be ar
rangod by special agreement under
the general treaty in each instance.
VEDRINE FLIES LIKE WIND.
French Aviator Travels 208 Miles at
CO 2 Mdet an Hour.
Issy I.es Moulineaux. France.--Pierre
Vedrine left Poitiers in a
monoplane at fi ;H o'clock Saturday
morning and arrived here at H:3u
o'clock, having maintained an averairv
speed of 110.2 miles an hour. As soon
as some minor repairs can bo made,
Vedrine will start again for Pan, in
nn attempt to win the Aero Club's cup
for the best flight from Paris to Pau.
Vedrin began the Puris-to-Pau flight
Tuesday, but met with an accident
which compelled him to descend at
Poitiers. He made 170 miles in three
hours and 10 minutes.
Vedrine did 335 kilometers (approx
imately 20 miles) in 132 minutes.
One of the fastest railroad expresses
in France covers the same general
route in I3 minutes.
Discussing fns record-breaking
Hjiecd, Vedrine said :
"I was favored with a light breeze,
but my machine does 130 kilometers
(approximately M miles) an hour in a
calm. It will do in the air what a
150-horscpowcr motor will do over the
best road. "
Embryo Citizen Loiet.
Olympia, Wash. Disgusted because
he lost a justice-court suit in Seattle
against the Northern Paeilic railroad,
F. Cottorill, who was Isirn in Eng
land, had his naturalization papers
cancelled and has left Olympia with
more disgust than ever against Amer
ican institutions. He says that in his
country a poor man can get justice,
but in Washington, he says, he cannot
get his case to the Supreme court be
cause there is not money enough in
volved and even, if there was, he had
no funds.
