CARL GRAY PRESIDENT OF GREAT NORTH'N (Continued from Page 1) evening, for I am due in St. Paul any time to equip a special train for a trip to Portland in time for the Rose Festival. I will bring a party of about 125 with me and en rou.e we will attend the meeting of the North west Development League at Seattle. We hope to reach Portland about June 1, ao you see there is little time to lose." ' Mr. Hill arrived here late last night, accompanied by his successor as president of the Great Northern, Carl R. Gray, and Mr. Gray's successor as president of the Hill lines in Oregon, John H. Young of Seattle. Mr. Young left for Seattle at miilnight, and this morning Mr. Hill and Mr. Gray were in conference to line up affairs here and at St. Paul. "I can't say a word about myself," said Mr. Hill when asked if he would succeed his father, James J. Hill, as chairman of the executive board of the Hill system. "If any such step is made the an nouncement will come from my father, Mr. Gray will be president of the Great Northern, and he was se lected because we regard him a very strong man. As has been announced, Mr. Young will succeed Mr. Gray in Oregon, and L. C. Gilman of Seattle will have executive authority of the Great Northern on the Pacific coast, His headquarters will probably re main at Seattle. Mr. Young as president of the Hill lines in Oregon will have the same authority as his predecessors." President Gray of the Great North ern will leave for St. Paul with Mr. Hill this evening at 7 o'clock. He expects to return next week, or with Mr. Hill's special train for the Rose Festival. President Young of the Hill line In Oregon will arrive in Portland next Monday to make this city his home. "It Is with deep regret that 1 leave Oregon," said Mr. Gray, "for really I never did live anywhere that ap pealed so much to me as this city and state." COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES FOR YALE HIGH SCHOOL (Continued from Page 1) The accrediting of the Vale high school and the graduatng of students who are prepared to enter the col leges and universities is, in the opin ion of Dr. Boone, of great significance to Vale. It will not only tend to keep boys and girls in school to finish the high school course, but to contin ue with the college nnd university as well. A good system of school is one of the best assets of a commun-"J. OREGON-EASTERN THROUGH BIG CUT A. W. Glenn came In from the ranch Friday for the commencement srdS of the Vale High School.

Early completion of the Klamath Falls cut off between Natron and Klamath Falls, which is to be the main line of the Oregon Eastern railroad, was in dicated today by a report that work is to begin on construction at this end of the line. The report was unofficial. A work train carrying 40 men is to be put on May 15, completing the 16 miles of track beyond this city which was not thoroughly ballasted when it was laid last year. As soon as this work is well underway, according to the report, a second work train will be sent out and the crew of workmen increased to 100 or more men. When the work begins a steam Bhovel, now at the end of the tract, will be trans ferred to a new sand pit near Chilo- . . a m qum. I he sana is to De usea ior balast. The favorable impression received by E. 0. McCormick, vice-president of the Southern Pacific railroad, on his recent visit to Klamath Falls, is be lieved to have been partly respondi ble for the railroad's move in order ing work done from this end of the line. He promised to do everything in his power to aid the progress of the city. Steam shovels and a large crew of men have been at work for sometime on the isatron ena oi ine cui-on. With crews working from both ends the completion of the new line is ex pected within a year. MUZZLE THAT CORRESPONDENT (Continued trom Page 1) anxious to see it continue, grow and improve, and willing to lend his aid in making it a permanent success." After this admission that every citizen of the county ex cept the Capital News correspon dent has contributed to its suc cess, and is entitled to partici pate in the pride of its splendid showing, and anxious to see it grow and improve, and to aid in making it a permanent success, the writer concludes with a statement so contradictory towhat precedes as to bear its own re futation. After proving that it is a county fair participated in un iversally, supported by every cit izen of the county, with one sin gle exception, he concludes with this masterly consistency. "Ev ery section of the county ex cept Vale has been represented at the fair." We would recommend to the beautiful and growing city down the line that she puts her ink bottle on the top shelf, out of the reach of a transient pueril ity. We cannot suspect the ed itor of the Democrat of any malice in the premises. It is more natural to believe him ig norant of the facts. The man who can say in one sentence that the fair has been supported by every citizen in the county, and in the next sentence except Vale from participation in it, should not be accused of libel but simp ly pitied for idiocy. Vale, as every citizen in the county knows, has been loyal in her support of the Malheur County fair and will remain so to the end. The vapid uteiances of an it inerary editor cannot in the least effect her loyalty to that insti tution. As everyone knows ex cept the editor of the Democrat the business men of Ontario and Vale have been together in this from the start. Vale haa never been found wanting in contribu tions, either in money or moral support. Her citizens have taken prizes at both session i. In the magnificent success of 1911, VALE DAY WAS THE BIG GEST DAY OF THE FAIR, AND VALE DAY WILL BE THE SAME IN 1912. To show that we bear no malice against the editor of the Democrat for his unwarranted attack on Vale and . her people we will conclude with acquainting him with some of the substantial, historical facts (for his future use) concerning Malheur county: "The oldest house in M alheur county was built in Ontario In 1803, A. D. ; the oldest horse in Malheur county took the prize at the last county fair and was present at the siege of Troy 2,000 years, B. C. ; and the biggest ass in Mal heur county is writing editorials for the Ontario Democrat. In another column we record the mar riage of Mr. Johnnie McNulty to Miss Auda Griffith, .both of Watson. We should like to state that from a visit paid there last fall, that the two young people in question are un doubtedly the moat popular In all the community out there on the Owyhee. Everybody brags on the bridegroom and the younger boys aim to grow up in his footsteps, whereas from the wry tlnli-si girl to the bluest, the bride was their Ideal and their friend. Itulh are to be congratulated.

Llg sisUsil fuH Citiun, tht'4' H Is Iw Ivwu li.lt , NEW MARSHAL FOR WESTFALL New Church Nears Completion Business Changes Other News Wednesday afternoon, Mr. Earl R. Smith from Westfall passed through Vale on his way to Boise, where he has accepted a positon with Dr. Froom, one of the leading physicians of that city. Mr. Smith studied 4 or 5 years in a medical school in Cal ifornia and expects to graduate in a year or two. He was located nearly three years in the West full country and will be greatly missed by the people of that section, where he has many friends. He was a member of the band and was an accomplished musician, and with his sister, Miss Flora E. Smith furnished the greater part of the mufaical programs submit ted during the past two winters, in Westfall. . During their short stay there, Mr. Smith and his sister were unfortunate enough to lose both their mother and their father, and their uncle, Mr. Brugess, but nevertheless have the warmest feelings toward this part of Oregon and feel greatly indebted to the poeple of Westfall for the many kindnesses they met with, from 'them, amidst their losses. Mr. Smith will be joined in Boise by his wife, who is at present on a visit to her people, who live in Southern Californa. He was an eye witness to the shooting of the marshal at Westfall a few days ago and will doubtless be called as a witness for the state. Mr. Simth says that in all his experience he has never Been a person pass away so easily and bo gently as did Mr. Westfall, the man who was shot while discharging his duty. He lay on his side and just went to sleep, like a little child. That was the end. Wihin the last few days, we have heard that a most important business transaction haa Jtaken place in West fall, through the transfer of the in terests of Billy Jones, the big stock man of Malheur County, in the Jones Mercantile Company of Westfall to Mr. J. D. Fairman, the present man ager and part shareholder. This store is one of the strongest in East ern Oregon and the amount involved must have been very large. The new owner, Mr. Fairman, is well- known throughout the county as one of its able business men, and has done more for the upbuilding of the Westfall country than any other man that we know of and under his man agement, as in the past, the business will go on along the old lines, with satisfaction and profit to all its pat rons. Mr. Fairman has been in charge of the store since he acquired an interest in it, some 10 years ago, and has watched it grow from $10,000 a year to $100,000 a year's worth of business, all due to his hard work and untiring energy. Like Robert Louis Stevenson, he could say, if he would "I know what pleasure is, for I have done good work". The church at Westfall is fast ap proaching completion, and is at pres ent in the hands of the painters, with Mr. Hiriam Snyder in charge. The organ has been installed and the church has filled a long-felt want in the community, as those who were present at the funeral service held in it for the late marshal of Westfall can testify. Mr. Ben J. Corbett, the man who took such a prominent part in the late shooting scrape in Westfall has been appointed marshal there, and is expected to fill the office with credit to himself and the town. He was form erly marshal but ressigned for busi ness reasons, otherwise the recent trouble would not have occurred. Young Mr. Martie Prather return ed this week from Willamette valley, where he has been all winter going to school. He made the ninth grade this term and expects to go back next fall, but meantime he is going to put a hard summer's work on his father's ranch, above Westfall. . Martie says the valley ia all right, but it is hard to beat the Bully Creek country. The Juniper Springs Shearing Plant above Westfall is running full blast, and expects to handle over 60,000 sheep before closing down; usually they shear in the neighborhood of 80, 000 to 90,000 but this year there are not ao man sheep in that section of the country as usual. Mr,, Morris S. Shuch late of West fall, and recently located at Jamieson has secured a contract for hauling lumber from Vale to the tunnel and has moved his family down here, pre paratory to commencing hauling. NEW WOOL RATES EFFECTIVE JUNE 1 Washington. May 17. The Inter state commerce commission has issued an order requiring the railroads bv June 1 to put into effect the reduced rates on wool that conform to its de cision of April 12. The railroads under thst decision were given until Msy 1 to chock In their rates to conform to that de cision, but neglected to do so, and the commission therefore has wired the railroads to make these reductions by the first of nest month. This or der Is aciiulesied In by the railroad eonieiil, which have informed the roiiuiilasloii at their resdlnee la run ply with ylrds's uidvr, The fe-ei.UI (;..im MiKnlM U Lse siMUtuI luwe ps d QUICKSANDS CAUSE TROUBLE AT WILLOW SPRINGS Workmen Hare Narrow Escape When Land Slide Fills Deep Trench for Concrete Dam Workmen digging the big trench for the bedrock dam at the Willow Springs narrowly escaped injuries on Friday afternoon of last week when a big cave-in occurred. The ditch which is being dug for the bedrock concrete dam which is to collect all of the waters of the Willow Springs and divert the same into the pipe line of the city, had reached a depth of 17 feet where the men were work ing. Civil Engineer Ivan Oakes, of this city, had just climbed on top of the bank when he noticed signs ofja cave in and he shouted the warning just in time for the men to run for their lives. A few seconds later a layer of dirt 15 feet in length, 17 feet high and 4 or 5 feet thick filled the trench where the men had been working. Quick sand had been givng lots of trouble and it is supposed that the big land slide waa caused by it. Walter Glenn brought in the news on Saturday. PREACHING GOSPEL OF SMALLER FARMS Weiser, May 18. After taking the gospel to smaller farms and more set tlers as the northwest's greatest need, R. C. McKinney, who has ex tensive farm holdings in Washington county, intends to put this preaching into practice, and has just announced that he will cut up his 160-acre farm on Dead Ox Flat, near Weiser, and prepare it for the city man who wants to get "back to the soil." Later he intends to pursue the same policy with other tracts which he owns, dividing the property into five, ten and 15 acre sections on rural free delivery routes, with light, power and every convenience. "By cultivating my own land I can make a fortune," Mr. McKinney declaied, in explaining his determination, "but while I am doing it, I am retarding the growth and development of the country by holding large areas which should be opened to the small owner with a family, who will do morn good for the country by the use of more intensive methods. The north west needs more population and when the ranchers who own huge tracts realize that they are responsible for holding back the natural growth they will all undertake some real coloniza tion work. COAST MAN LIKES VALE MAY LOCATE HERE A. P. Davis, brother of Judge E Davis of this city arrived in Vale from Marshfield, Coos Bay last Wed nesday. This is his first trip to Vale, and he was. astonished to. find such an up-to-date city. Mr. Davis is great ly impressed with what he has seen and believes there is a great future for Vale. He may deecide to locate here. AGREEMENT REACHED ON HOMESTEAD BILL To be Reported to the Senate and House at an Early Date The last requirement as to the area to be cultivated before patent is granted is a compliance in principle with Gifford Pinchot's suggestion. Shortly stated the main provisions of the new bill are reduction to three years of the homesteading period- leave of absence not exceeding five months in each year when establishing residence the three years to run from the time of actual residence, and a settler to be allowed a delay not ex ceeding 12 months from date of filing if climatic conditiona, sickness or other unavoidable causes demand it cultivation of one-sixteenth of the area of entry ia required during the second year, and one-eighth of the area the third year. The cultivation requirement is to apply to 160 acre homesteads, to en larged homesteada, and to homesteads on reclamation projects. The subject has been so thorough ly thrashed out in committee, both in Senate and House, that a speedy pas sage of the bill may be expected. The views of Secretary Fisher have been laid by him before the commit tee and every effort made to meet them. There is no probability of a presidential veto of the bill in its amended form. In many changes made the new bill is an adoption of western views of which Senator Borah has been a per sistent advocste.

The subject of geography which is generally easy, was unusual ty difficult. Many failed in this sub- Hi preparing these examinations it is the aim of State Superintendent Alderman to make them fairly rep resentative of the 8th grade work. There is danger of making them ao difficult as to discourage pupils in pas sing thtm, while on the other hand there is danger of making them so easy that pupils will reach the high school before they are able to do high school work. The aim is to avoid both of these. Rain The capers written by the 8th grade pupils May 9 and 10 have all been marked and the results tabula ted. While the results are much better than last January, many failed in one or more subjects. These pupils will be allowed to write on these sub jects at the next examinytion which will be held in June. Vale students made a creditable showing, of the 9 students writing from Vale 6 passed in all subjects, the others failing in only one or two. In the entire county 30 per cent of those writing will receive diplomas of admission to the high school. As a whole the questions were a NEW BILL WILL ABOLISH CAPITAL PUNISHMENT Substitute Life Imprisonment at Hard Labor in State Peniten tiary at Salem Governor West has given out the text of the bill providing for abolish ment of capital punishment. It sub stitutes for capital punishment life imprisonment at hard labor in the state penitentiary and prohibits the governor from granting reprieve, commutation or pardon after convic tion for murder in the first degree, excrpt on the recommendation of the judge of the court which originally tried the case. A feature of the proprosed bill is the provisions that it 'shall not apply to the crimes com mited or convictions had prior to the enactment of the measure. Initia tive petitions will be placed in circu lation within a few days. IDAHO WOOL CLIP BRINGS BIG PRICE At a private sale here yesterday, E. W. Johnson, a wool grower sold his entire clip of 250,000 pounds of wool to J. M. Johnson, the pio neer wool buyer of the northwest, who represents Hallowell, Jones & Donald of Boston, for 18 cents per pound. The sale is the first made this season and indicates that the price of good wool will be high. The buyer, Mr. Johnson, states that the wool was sold entirely on its merits and was one of the finest clips he has ever purchased here. The wool buying season opens tomor row at Mountain Home and growers there will be somewhat governed by he sale here on the bids made for their wool. Several small sales have been made at Payette and vicinity, 15 cents being the average price paid. Wool buyers who are on the ground state that the unsettled conditions in the east will not warrant them pay ing a high figure this season and that they will buy clips entirely on their merit. Woolgrowers are sanguine and feel that prices will be better this year than last. Capital News PERSONALS Mr. Baker Ball of Ontario stopped off a few minutes Wednesday in Vale to inquire as to the best road into the Cow Valley country, where he and a friend are expecting to buy a bunch or two of sheep. They left Vale early in the evening in Mr. Ball's auto for Brogan, and purposed staying over night at the shearing plant there, and meeting some of the sheepmen. Sunday School and young People's Society will meet as usual at the Methodist church Sunday. Regular preaching in the morning. In the evening Rev.

OLD LAKE BED USED FOR FARM Harney County man to Show Value of Waste Lands Drewsev. Ore. May 20. Dr. Den- mnn is seeding 200 or 300 acres of old lake bed land near Saddle Butte to grain crops. It is an experiment that will be watched with interest, as it i on rather a large scale and on a class of land that has not been farmed to any extent in this section. Dr.Den man will devote most of it to barley, but will also try oats and wheat. It was necessary to dike to prevent the lake water from submerging the land, which was formerly lake bed. Should a good crop be produced on this soil it will open up a large area that has been considered almost worthless Another beneficial feature will be the hastening of a reservoir system to keep such land from overflowing and thus do a two fold duty conserve the flood water for use on dry land a.t a season when needed and reclaim the swamp now being submerged by the floods. TOWN NEVER AMOUNTS TO SHUCKS WITHOUT A COMMERCIAL CLUB A great many of our citizens are inclined to overlook the good that is accomplished by the Com mercial club. The people of Vale are not alone in this, as it is the same, practically, all over the county. The Commercial club shoulders all the trouble and expense of advertising our com munity, and trusts to the people to repay them. They spend many nights in figuring on something to do to help the town, and the people, who are to reap the bene fit, slumber peacefully. They' give a good part of their time and often spend some expense money, and the people do not compensate them in any way. The officers never stand back from the work, simply because there is no pay roll in connection with their office. The small, growing town is the one which needs a good commercial club, and a town never amounts to shucks unless it has one. Mr. Robert F. Nichol and his friend Mr. Jess Snyder who have been employed for some months with the Utah Construction Co. here and Rich field, Idaho, left last Sunday morning for the tunnel, where they will be employed m the timbering of the tun nel, both being experienced carpen ters and bridgebuilders.

Mac recently came in from a two weeks trip in the interior and stated that he had sold over $1630 worth of buggies while he was out, and had to come back for more. He left Monday for Westfall and expecta to go clear to Burns before returning. Hia oppo nent N. T. Conklin, republican nom inee for County School Supt. is also selling buggies for the same outfit that Ma:, is, so that there will be a double contest 'tvixt them until after the election this fall.

CALDWELL WINS FROM ONTARIO Caldwell was outhit by the Ontario team of the Snake River league here today, but the locals won, 2 to 1. Ontario delayed starting the myster ious Morse until the third inning. By that time Caldwell had scored two runs, and though Morse allowed no hits after he entered the game, the two already scored by the local proved to win the contest. The one run scored by Ontario wu batted in by Morse. It was the tightest game of ball seen here this season. Ontario's de feat may be attributed partially to injudicious base running. The visit ors persisted In trying to pilfer sec ond , against the sure right srm of Jimmie Kelleher. Everyone who tried it committed suicide. TheSeort: R. H. B.
