DR. AND MRS. HYDE.
After seven years of suspense,
Dr. Clark B. Hyde has been
cleared of the charge of murdering
Col. Thomas H. Swope, Kansas!
City millionaire.
Dr. Hyde was Swope's son-in-law
and family physician. Charges
were that Dr. Hyde infected the
drinking water of the Swope
bouse with germs so he and hi
wife would inherit the $10,
00.000 Swope estate.
Dr. Hyde was tried throe times
The third trial has just ended
with prosecution ordered dropped.
The case went from Tillamook coun
ty and the purchaser of the tax certi
ficate paid $dl0 for it. The property
it represented was worth $7000. Ev
eryting was legal in the proceedings
until the sheriff came to sell the prop
erty. The law holds the sale shall
be made in this manner: Starting with
an offer at the east line of the prop
erty and offering so much as will sat
isfy the tax cortifcate holder's outlay.
It might occur there would be no bid
until the entire property was offered
and in that event, if the proceeding
had gone 83 intended by law, there
would be no way for the original own
er to recover.
In this instance the records showed
no compliance with the requirement to
sell commencing at the east line and
offering as much as would satisfy the
claim. In other words, the sheriff had
not proceeded legally and the court,
upon a suit being brought by the orig
inal owner, to recover, held he was
entitled to his land upon payment of
the $110 to the holder of the tax cer
tificate and sheriff's deed. All tho
proceedings were ordered cancelled
and the owner of $7000 worth of land
did not lose his property.
Whether this decision will afreet
similar speculators in Lane county is
not known, but it is said many whose
lands have been sold fully expect to
obtain them back on points of tech
nicality. 1
When My Ship Comes In.
Enterprise, Or., Jan. 5. (To the
Editor of The Telegram) The old
adage so often used by young men
who were expecting some day to be
rich, "Wait till my ship comes in," is
now paraphrased by the frolicsome
young man to read, "Wait till my
shipment comes in."
When the august body of legisla
tors have met at Salem and by dint
of much wrinkling of eyebrows have
concocted a legal sounding instru
ment, full of long words for lawyers
to wrangle over, and properly called
e law. containing full penalties and
punishment for the" importation of
linuor. it is to be hoped that the
drinkers will learn to do without.
Then will Oregon stand an island of
'rv amongst the dries, and beer and
whiskv will be succeeded by the
tasteful drink produced by the logan
berry. How the shades of our illus
trous ancestors will look down upon
uc with longing for the clear bruin
which many a night over the grog
cups had not given them. W. F.

The Meat Supply.
The Secretary says that the activi
ties of the department toward incrcas-1
ing the meat supply have taken two
principal directions (l)combating di
seases, and(2) the development of
stock raising. He indicates the pro
gress which has been made in the cam
paign for the eradication of the soth
crn cattle tick and in combating hog
cholera, sheep and cattle scabies, and
contagious abortion. He recommends
the inauguration of a campaign
against tuberculosis in cattle and hogs
stating that this disease is the most
cemmon destructive, and widely dis
seminated of the infectious diseases
of domestic animals and causes losses
estimated at $25,000,000 a year In the
United States.
The Secretary shos that the grazing
capacity of the national forest rangei

l'as been increased through systematic
regulation by from 15 to 30 per cent,
and states that the adoption of a simi
lar system of regulation on the 250
million acres of public grazing land
outside the forests would permit a
considerable addition to the country's
meat supply. He says the investiga
tions of the department have shown
conclusively that the South is well
adapted to economical .beef and pork
production and that the eradication of
the cattle tick is opening up a large
territory for this purpose. Progress
also has been made in the destruction
of rodents which lessen the grazing
value of western stock ranges, and in
killing predatory animals which cause
losses to the live-stock industry esti
mated at $12,000,000 annually.
Sheep Raising,
sheep be raised more extensively as a
source of meat and wool and lso as a
The secretary recommends that
means of using much f the waste land
on farms. He points out that in the
United States only one in seven farms
of over 20 acres now supports sheep,
with an average of one sheep of shear
ing age to .", acres of land. The 300 mil
lion pounds of wool now imported an
nually, he says, could be secured from
50 million sheep, and this number
could be added to our stock is a fourth
of the remaining farms sustained one !
sheep for each 3 acres. The report also
taken place in the dairy industry and
cells attention to the fact that cheese
discusses the development which has
making, which heretofore has been
limited to certain sections, can be ex
tended successfully to the mountain
regions of the South, to the valleys of
the Rocky mountains, and to many
sections of the Pacific cost.
Production Of Fowl Crops.
In order to 'bring about the produc
tion of food crops adequate to meet
the '.'iisuming needs f tie cuntry and
the cxnrt deii' : Me :.lary says
that or.e of tli (rrcnirst agrL-.l'
needs is the s -'i'ili i'l.' of production.
This can !) accom i ihed ir a large
measure through the use ol heller a I-1
f.pted or improved crop varieties, more :
pystcmatic and rational crop rotations
and improved agricultural practice
generally, including, in many sections,'
laiger attention to live-stock produc
tion, all of which are essential to an
tnduring and economically sound agri
culture. "It is highly desirable," he
says, "further to broaden the areas
for tho production of staple crops as
far as experience nnd sound economics
may warrant." He cites a number of
instances showing what has leen done
in this direction and emphasizes the
importance to production of controll
ing plant diseases and insect pests
and quarantine measures to prevent
their entry or spread.
