ON SIAND ADMITS WORLD’S DOINGS ROOSEVELT OTTEN CONSULTING BOSS PLATT DAIRYING SUREST OF CURRENT WEEK ROAD TO WEALTH Brief Resume of General News from All Around the World. Syracuse. N. Y.—Theodore Roose velt admitted under cross-examination Tuesday in the suit for alleged libel which William Barnes has brought against him, that while governor he had freely consulted the “boas" of the Republican party in New York state in reference to the appointment of_offi- cials in the state government and var ious legislative and political matters. The “boas” named was Thomas C. Platt, who at that time represented New York in the United States sen ate. The ex-president said he took the advice of the senator in many mat ters, among them appointing a Dem ocrat to the office of tax commissioner to “please Grady,” whom the Colonel described as a “lieutenant boss" of Richard Croker, then leader of Tam many Hall. The testimony resulted from ques tions asked after letters of a series that passed between Colonel Roosevelt and Senator Platt had been read to the jury. In these letters, both writers discussed all manner of political and legislative affairs. In one. Colonel Roosevelt asked the senator's advice about making speeches. In another. Senator Platt told the Colonel he had received a copy of a bill introduced by Grady, in which the sen ator said he considered it inadvisable to give Tammany from $3,000,000 to $12,000,000 on an appropriation to ex pend upon the water front of New York, as “it would simply be putting an unnecessary club in the hands of those people with which to knock our brains out.” With another letter, the colonel sent the senator a proof of his message to the legislature, which dealt with, among other things, public utilities, the franchise tax, the trusts, indus trial conditions and labor. The part dealing with the trusts, the colonel wrote, “had been submitted to several “experts,’ including Elihu Root, Presi dent Hadley, Professor Jenks, of Cor nell, and James A. Dill, who was described in the letter as ‘a big cor poration lawyer.’ ” Germans in Poland offer 10 roubles each to Russians who will desert.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor vallis — That the history of dairying has proven it to be a sure road to wealth, ia the assertion of dairy ex perts of Oregon, Washington ami other states, who occasionally address students ami dairymen at the Oregon Agricultural college. As a means of wealth, dairying is said to furnish about the moat steady and sure income of any farm product, ami it also affords a renewal of soil fertility. In all these features dairying particularly lends itself to profit because profit must be secured from those resources that are sure and steady. The history of dairying in countries other than the United States affords evidence of the reliable character of dairying as a profit maker. Denmark, a country declaredly the speakers to have had an exhausted soil ami an ex hausted people, has become through dairying one of the wealthiest ami most productive of all foreign coun tries. The Danes are now a remark ably prosperous people and have reno vated their soils so that they are leav ing a valuable heritage to their pos terity. Examples of success are being re peated in our own country. In the states of Wisconsin, Minnesota and those further East, they have re deemed their soils from exhaustion through dairying. While doing thia they have made substantial money profits, established a large trade in dairy products, and perhaps best of all. have built up large dairy herds of won derful producing ability. From the fine, high producing dairy cattle from these herds many Western dairymen are now going to get founda tion stock for the improvement of their own herds. A lot of money from the West is streaming into the states of of Minnesota, New York and Wis consin in exchange for dairy sires de veloped through scientific breeding by progressive dairymen. Dogs Shot on Sight in Baker to Prevent Epidemic of Rabies Baker—So serious has become the rabies epidemic both in the city and in the country that every effort is being made to stamp out the animals that might be affected. Chief of Poilce Jackson has armed all policemen with shotguns and revolvers and has given orders that ail dogs be shot on sight unless muzzled. “We haven’t time to remonstrate personally with owners • of dogs, ” he said to his men. “There is too^iuch danger from hydrophobia to take any chance and people who do not live up to the law will lose their pets.” Hunters and trappers will be em ployed to wage war on the coyotes in the Minam National forest, according to Ephriam Barnes, forest supervisor, who said that he had been requested by the United States Biological survey to furnish the names of men in thia section most experienced in work of this kind. These men are to be employed to ex terminate predatory animals, but Mr. Barnes said that most of their work in Eastern Oregon would be directed to ward the coyote. They will be paid from the $125,000 appropriation made by the last congress. Park Along Road Planned. Hood River—Citizens of the county, co-operating with the Commercial club, have begun a campaign to Becure ade quate strips of land along the Neal Creek road leading from the Lower to the Upper Hood River valley and thus prevent the land along the route from being denuded of its growth of large fir trees. But few of the highways in the lower valley are lined with forest trees, and it is proposed to purchase outright this land and make a park of the area adjoining the highway. The land is not valuable for agriculture. Oregon Has 17,000 Cars. Salem—Secretary of State Olcott announceds that approximately 17,000 automobiles, more than 2400 motorcy cles and 2300 chauffeurs have been furnished licenses this year, and he believed that motor vehicle registra tions for the entire year would reach 22,000. There were 16,347 motor ve hicles, 2898 motorcycles and 1800 chauffeurs registered last year. Mr. Olcott thinks the increase in chauffeur licenses is a result of the jitney bus. , Calf Has Only Three Legs. NORTHWEST MARKET RKl*ORTS.

Tacoma The predicted advance in potato prices came sooner than expect ed, the vegetable this week going' to $35 a ton. Dealers say prices will go still farther upward and will in all probability reach $40 within the next few days. Dealers explain that other rises are certain because the holders in Eas^n Washington are demanding $30 a ton for the tubers in the field. At that price it costs commission men here $33 to lay a ton down and they cannot sell with a reasonable profit at $35, they say. The supplies in East ern Washington are now pretty well cleaned up, it is reported. Local potato growers have become active again and are planting many times more spuds than they did last year. The local crop will not make its appearance until about the first of July. Bluestem is quoted at $1.33; forty fold, $1.30; club, $1.28); red Fife, $1.28), and red Russian, $1.23.
