C. MARSH AN OREGON SHOWING. An incident of the San Francisco exposi tion is the remarkable showing made by Ore gon poultry in the international egg-laying con test, which is to continue for 12 months, says the Journal. The poultry of the world is in the contest. Breeders are present from Canada, Australia, Great Britain and many of the American states. Three pens of hens are entered from the Oregon Agricultural College, and their present standing is a gratifying result for Oregon peo ple, and an extraordinary achievement for Prof. James Dryden, head of the department of poultry at the institution. The report of the contest for the five months ending April 15 is thus summarized: Highest pen for the month, O. A. C, Leg horn, 237 eggs; second pen, O. A. C, Barred Plymouth Rocks, 225 eggs. Highest pen for five months, J. D. Adams, Canada, 607 eggs; second highest pen, O. A. C, Leghorns, 56() eggs; third highest pen, Toom Barron, L'ngland, 546 eggs; fourth high est pen, O. A. C, Barred Plymouth Rocks, 527 eggs; fifth highest pen, O. A. C, Crosses, 524 Highest individual for the month, O. A. G, Cross hen, Jo eggs; fifth highest for the month, O. A. C, Barred Plymouth Rock, 26 eggs. Highest individual record for five months, New York hen, Oo eggs; second, O. A. C, Cross, 83gfi; third, O. A. C, Cross, 8 flggi; fourth, O. A. C, Leghorn, 81 eggs. The Oregon institution holds the record iftlnst the arorld for the highest number .' eggi produced in i ringta hen in 12 months. By experimentation, Professor Dryden htl luiiv established met it is possible by breeding sod cue to anormoualy Incretss the iveri v egg production, i result that Isot Incomparable value in the economies ! the industry.

And further suggest that on that day, so far as practicable, the gospel of good roads be spread in all our educational institutions, and that the school children themselves be encouraged to as sume their share of highway improvement; and that especially the women of Oregon organize and take a part in the work of the Good Roads Day, as their interest and assistance will be vital in making it a notable success. In witness whereof, I, James Withycombe, Governor of Oregon, have hereunto set my hand and seal this first day of May, 1915. (Signed) James Withycombe, Governor. OHO BAND SECURES LEADER The Ontario band has secured the services of one of the best men In the state for the instructor of the band. George E. Stewart, who of late has been employed by the Oregon Short Line at Denver, Colo., has been trans ferred to this city as chief dispatcher of the Vale branch. Mr. Stewart was leader of one of the best bands in Denver, winning several prises him self, also with the band. A man with Mr. Stewart's ability as band in structor has been needed here, and Ontario should be proud of the band that will entertain the people of this city during the summer. LOCAL OFFICIALS TRY INTERVENTION EFFECTS OF THE HARRISON LAW. GOOD ROADS DAY SET. Appeal! t Union count) people to ge( be hind the Slate Good Roadl da nave reached Ontario in the form ol urgent requests from the governor! office. The governor has pro claimed a d.i idi this purpose, and in the fol lowing proclamation set! out interesting tacts Concerning what is to be expected oi the plan: Whereas, good roach ire one of the prime foundations upon which our prosperity i builded; and Whereas, I am firmly convinced that road improvement li the wisest Investment Oregon throwing of light on a hidden evil. When the Harrison law became effective March 1, it was widely predicted that the re sult would be a besieging of hospitals by crazed drug addicts, a crime wave of national scope and a trail of suicide and death across the coun try. A month has passed and while the results have not been as terrible .1s the early hysteria painted them, have not even approximated the glaring headline predictions of the yellow press, they have nevertheless been apparent to physi dana and to others who came in daily conflict with drug traffic, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association. Prom two cities come reports which are evi dence of this fact. In the Philadelphia general hospital and this is true of practically every hospital in thecountrv in which drug addictions lie treated the number of admissions has greatly increased. Without doubt the law has forced numerous habitues, who otherwise might nave been satisfied to continue as such, to appl to pin ridani and institutions for treat ment. Further, there is no doubt that the large majority Of these unfortunates will be freed of tlieir halMt. I he increased admissions to these hospitals do not represent an increase in drug addictions; they are simply an objective mani festation oi the operation of the Harrison law. report from the (rook county coroner's 'Mice presents the opposite side ol the picture. It points to the suicide who anticipates his sul- rering is his supply of drugs ceases; it indicates the ever-hopeful victims who seek surcease of pain in deadly nostrums, and it hints at the deaths from secondaiy causes in weakened and collapsed bodies. It Mould again be emphasized that these re- I'ou.s ,iu- not evidence oi me existence ot enormous numbers of drug habitues; rather the. represent the toll of a new law and the An excellent example of American intervention in the European war wbb staged last Friday afternoon in the city hall with City Recorder H. B. Grauel and City Marshall Dan Ker- foot usurping the power of The Hague peace tribunal. ' The occasion came about by a rather heated discussion between Henry Jackson, taking the part of the Allies, and J. W. Hall tak ing the part of the Germans. So long as the dispute lasted there was no intervention, but when one man attempted to punctuate his re marks with a gun, then Marshal Ker foot stepped in and hailed the com batants before Recorder Grauel and Justice was distributed to the parties concerned. Each man was assessed a war in demnity of 10, and in addition a temporary directorate was established over one of them, who is at the pres ent time reposing in the city bastile.

There are about 170 pure bred animals on the farm now and more have been ordered and are ex pected to arrive nhortly. Mr. Lawaon intends to engage in some experi mental breeding work during the next few years. SHORT LINE RUNS The O. S. L. has taken over the lino and is now operating trains on the O.-W. R. A N. between Juntura and Riverton, as the station is known to railroad men. While the O.-W. R. A N. built the line and still retain ownership of it, the O. S. L. has taken a lease upon it and will operate the trains. E. B. Fry of Ontario has been appointed agent at Riverside and left last week for his new post. His po sition was taken here by George E.

The postoffice there is named complete swine production plants to Riverside, but the railroad has named its station Riverton. The names have caused much confusion in the hand ling of freight, and it has been sug gested that both names be discarded und a new one, entirely different, bo chosen, and adopted by both the post office department and the railroad.
