Open from
8AI.I5M, Or,, May 18,-The referen
dum petitions, demanding that Houae
bill No. 270. known aa the $1,000,000 a.
proprlatlon bill, be referred to a vote or
the people, was filed In the office of the
Becrcliiry of State this forenoon. The
appropriation bill will therefore not take
effect, but will remain In abeyance un
til after the general election In June,
l0fi, At that time the question will be
presented to the people whether the ap
propriation bill shall become a law. If
majority voting thereon vote the af
firmative, the bill will become a law, and
not otherwise,
;Thls bill carries the approprlatlona for
maintenance at the asylum, penitentiary,
reform school, mute school, blind school
abd four normal schools. It also contains
appropriations for additional mainten
ance and new buildings at the Unlver
alty of Oregon, the State Agricultural
Opllege and the Soldier's Home. It con
tains the appropriations for the trans
portation of insane patients and convicts
and the expense of returning fugitives1,
the aid of non-resident poor and several
minor Items. The total amount of the
appropriations Is a little over $1,000,000,
The bill was objectionable to many
ptMjple, because In It the Legislature
Joined the items of maintenance of the
normal schools with the Items for main
tenance of the asylum, penitentiary, etc..
over the protest of several members of
the Legislature. For many years the
pttictlce has prevailed of making omnl
bus appropriation bills, and the filing ot
the referendum petitions Is generally re-
gitrried as an effort of the people to over'
throw what they believe to be a perni
cious practice.
The filing of the referendum petitions
will have the effect of preventing the ex
penditure of any of the sums appropri
ated by this bill. A largo portion of the
revenue has already been levied and the
money will accumulate In the state treas
ury.
Secretary of State Dunbar, acting un
der authority of existing statutea, will
audit claims for the maintenance of the
asylum, penitentiary and other institu
tions at Salem, and will laaue certltl
catea of allowance for those claims he
approves. These certificates can be held
by the claimants until the Legislature
appropriates money for their payment
or can discount them to warrant brokers
at0 eente on the dollar. The secretary
will refuse to audit claims for the norma,
schools or for new buildings at any of
the Institutions.
Secretary of State Dunbar haa already
Indicated his intention not to issbe cet
tlflcates of allowance upon claims for
the maintenance of Normal schools. He
has taken this position because the Nor
mal Schools have never been regarded as
state Instltutlone In the same sense that
the Asylum, Penitentiary, etc.f are state
Institutions, because their clalma were
not audited In 1897 when no appropria
tions were available, and because the
State Board of Levy made no estimate
for Normal Schools in making the annual
estimntea of state expenses in January.
Secretary Dunbar, will follow precedent
until the Judicial department directs him
to do otherwise.
It Is understood that the local banks
and business men have arranged to fur
nish funds for the Monmouth, Ashland
and Weston Normals, and perhaps a sim
ilar arrangement may be made at Drain.
An effort will be made to establish the
right of these Institutions to have their
claims audited and a friendly ault will
be brought to compel the Secretary of
State to Issue certificates of allowanc.
If this should be decided against the
normals, the local capitalists will furnish

""WILL ASK FOR MOTOR-CARS.
Farmers Between Portland and Oregon
, City Want the Service.
Farmers along the Southern Pacific
Railway between Portland and Oregon
City will ask the management of that
railway company to put on a motor-ear
service. They are confident that it will
pay the company to run a gasoline car
over that route. The track la so far east
of the Oregon City electric car line that
it will not materially interfere with that
line. Last year the fanners organised,
with C. F. Clark, of Clackamas, at their
head, to get an electric line built, but
was not successful, and are now hope
ful that they will get a gasoline motor
put on at least to Oregon City. The stat
istics the organisation then gathered
show that there will be a large local
traffic for such a service.
Captain J. T. Apperson, of Oregon City
says that he has been Informed that the
Southern Paclflo Company contemplated
putting on motor-cars at first as fat
south as Salem, and perhaps farther,
but that would come after the car had
been operated on the Forest Grove run

Great Possibilities In the Cultivation o
Both Onions and Straw
berries.
Under the auspices of Mllwaukla
Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, a local
farmers' instute was conducted Satur
day afternoon in the Town Hall, and was
largely attended, reports the Oregonlan,
J, H. Reed, assistant lecturer, was in
charge. It was' the beginning of a series
of similar events, the object being to
spread practical information among the
farmrers concerning the cultivation of
strawberries, the best vegetables, to de
velop new varieties and Improve the old
ones. There were three topics treated
Saturday by C. W, Swallow. J. L. John
son, and O. A. Freytag, all being spec
ialists in the line of which they spoke.
Mr. Swallow, who is an accepted au
thority on the strawberry subject, spoke
on this topic. He said:
"It is very easy for the good man
to say that he has not time- to bother
with the strawberry bed. and that he will
buy all that he wants, but how does it
turn out? He buys one, or perhaps two
crates, when they get very ripe, and he
has fresh strawberries for the table fo ,
two or three times during the season.
Now, what can one do If he has a few
hundred plants well taken care of? They
should be able to nave fresh strawberries
from the vines for at least 50 days and
perhaps will be able to pick ripe straw
berries in October. With favorable
months and conditions he can produce
quite a crop in the Fall. Now, then, if
you have decided to have a strawberry
bed select a warm soil with some sand
in it, if possible. If the soil is poor.
enrich it. Have it properly prepared and
thoroughly cultivated. If you have plen
ty of land and can use a hand cultivator
have the rows as long as possible and
about three feet and three Inches apart,
plant the large growing plants three
feet apart. The smaller vines may be
set closer together. Some prefer set
ting out the plants in the Fall, some m
the Spring, and others always want to
set out the vines in May or June. I say
set them out when you have the ground
in good condition. For the home garden
I would have several kinds so as to pro
long the fruiting season. Have a few of
the real early varieties, as the MlcheU
Early. Climax. Texas, or Excelsior.
"Then for the main crop have some
good canning variety so as to put up
some for the Winter and make the straw
berry season last 365 days in the yea.,
The Warneld, Oregon, Clarke Seedling,
Rough Reda and Magoon are all good
canning berries. The Warneld is the
very best, I think. For big fellows hav
a few Glen Mary or Vicks, ana ior uue
plants the Michigan, Gaudy. Lerman,
Midnight or Rough Rider. For 200 plants
I would select about as follows: Michel's
Early, 80 Warneld. 40 Michigan, 20 Glen
Mary and 20 for trial of new kinds, i
have grown the following: Rio. Excel
sior, Michel's Early. Glen Mary. VlcKs,
Glendale, Haverland, Nick Ohner, Wil
son, Brandywlne, Ideal Magoon, Oregon.
Sherlybel, Mrs. Hansen, Gaudy, Rough
Rider and Michigan. Select the best
plants for best results. Land must be
In good, first-class condition."
Lecturer Reed said that in selecting
plants for propagation, Mr. Swallow goes
through a patch, and whenever he sees
a particularly fine, thrifty vine, a good
producer, he marked that vine by driving
a stick alongside It. Then when he Is
ready to plant new vines he takes the
new shoots from these thrifty vines, with
the result that better and more thrifty
plants are secured. "It wa3," said Mr.
Reed, "the survival of the fittest"
Captain J. T. Apperson said he be
lieved that strawberries may be suc
cessfully grown in the Willamette Val
ley If the ground is put in proper condi
tion. Mr. Swallow answered questions for
some time as to the cultivation of the
vines and howto cut the runners, when
the next topic was taken up.
J. L. Johnson presented the topic, "Cul
tivation of Onions." He said that the
land should have an underflow of water
to produce high-grade onions, but that
it was to drained to a depth of from 18
to 20 inches, and the water must be
controlled or the land will not grow on
ions. Mr. Johnson said it took two or
three years to get beaver land in condl
(Contalnued on Page 5).
