V. .A' , . m 1 PORTLAND, Feb.' 18 (Special) Reclamation of vast areas of the pa cific Northwest now covered with stump seem certain to reault from' the movement launched thla week at the Southwest Washington .Develop1 ment Association convention at Van couver, when plana were injtllned for clearing the cut-over lands and turn ing thla Immense Idle acreage Into fertile farms. N. II. Coffman, member of the ex ecutive committee of the association, and one of the most substantial cltl tens of the 8iates'waa active In map ping out the preliminary atepa In tfalM development. II advocated tbe pool ing of large logged-off arena and the or ku n m tlon of a big company, with a capital atock running Into tbe mil lions, to develop the landa and place them on the market. Mr. Coffman la of the opinion that the logged-over-tracta should be cut Into amall farm a where Intensive farming methoda ran be applied and the beat reaulta aecured. The land to be utilized are of the most fertile character, with great depth and strength of soil. It waa proposed by the speaker that paymenta on the amall farms be made ao easy for the buyera that the bur den would not be felt seriously, : In thla way It la believed" that the amall farm on logged-off land can be made profitable and popular. Mr. Coffman proied that money be' ralaed for the development of the raw lands by bonding, using a plan similar to that followed In Irrigating districts. This Is the most advanced stand that haa yet been taken on the uti lization of cut-over lands In the North west and . plana Juat announced are the most convincing yet made. In 'connection with tbe eharplt method of ridding the land of stumps, the. scheme promise to be a great suc cess, adding remarkably to the wealth of the Pacific Northwest State. THE CASE DISMISSED. Jury Find for Melvin Young Against O. W. P. Conductor. The Jury in tbe cane of State a of Oregon va. Melvin Young, charged with aaaault on an O. W. P. conductor, resulted In a vindication for Young. The charge waa made that Young' re slsted the conductor In the payment of bla fare and 4 hat he later assaulted It he conductor and made a general dis turbance. Young waa tried In-Justice Samson' court Saturday, the case being heard to a Jury. After hearing the evidence In the case tbe Jury found for the ao- Tbere waa no evidence- to show that Yonng had atruck a blow, but there waa evidence that the con- riurtor had lilrdeff Tonno sa he allirht. from Iha oar tt waa al Ida alrhl of that outrage that led Oscar Smith to butt In. and It waa be who knocked the conductor from the car. Young admits that he" did devil the conductor over hi fare, -which he should not have done, but could see no cause why he ahould be kicked from the ear later and then arretted to .make the c" that mich. aivee'. DEhUDED The Man Who Was Bribed By M. QUAD Copyright, in, by Associated IM i erary Praaa. be Sllnger and bis wife being too lazy to work were determined to live on the community of Hojfewell. The couatable warned Abe tbat be couldn't do It. Abe auld nothing, but Abe' clothing waa found by tbe mill pond. Mrs. Sllnger took on awful, aud a soft b carted, citizen started a purse for ber and $00 were- ralaed, and there were other who contributed food and cloth ing. The widow moved from tbe sta ble Into a shanty. Ten daya after the powwow A tie Sllnger apeared. He bad been car ried downstream by tbe current and thrown on an Inland, where be bad re malaed unconscious for day and with out food for other day. It was a pret ty shy story, but the people bad to believe It and congratulate the teller on his wonderful escspe. It waa about sixty duys later when the next event came off. A citizen who owned a farm outside tbe village hired Abe to dig a well. He bad re fused Joba not ao hard or dangerous. but he took thla one right away. He preferred well digging to even the pontofflre stet. When he bud been digging for two days and after be bud thrown out blnbi about quicksand and cave-Ins the alarm was given tbat the curbing of the well bad caved In and that Abe was probablly a dead man eighteen feet down. There Is only oue thing to do In such a case dig the poor fellow out. Jf liv ing, succor him; If dead, contribute a fund to bury blm and carry the widow- along. There were aome who wouldn't hare come down but for the fact tb . Abe bad gone to work and made ' kick. Hla desire to belp himself opened all hearts. If tbat hadn't then there were the wldow'a tearf and lamenta tlons to fall back oh. The sum of $100 waa rained for her, and It waa more clothes and more provisions. Tbe bottom of the well waa struck at la it, but there waa no Abe. There sure had been a Cave-In, but It hadn't caught blm. There waa a mystery on band to be solved. If. -not at the bot tom of tbe well, then where waa be? Tbe question waa on every Up for four daya, and then Abe came back to an swer It himself. It waa easily ex plained. He bad bad warning of tbe com ing cave-la and bad scrambled out Such was his terror tbat be bad been temporarily out of' Bis bead, ne re membered running away aa fast a be could, but when bla aenae came back to blm be waa thirty mile away and biding In a farmere barn. A soon aa be bad recovered bla nerve he I came Jogging along home and waa ready to tackle, tbe Job again. Hopewell aboofc lta bead In a doubt ing way, but did not talk much. Abe BUnger waa coming to the front and becoming a hero. He bad also moved from a ahanty Into a cottage and waa living on tbe top shelf. A a matter of fact, be did Ooiab tbe well and thereby made himself solid with all who wight have otherwise criticised. Neverthe less tbe town constable felt tbat be bad a duty to perform. - He went to Abe and said: "You went to your death la tbe river and returned. You went to your death In the well and returned. Don't try tbe little game again. If you do I don't believe the town will raise an other dollar for your widow." The summer had departed and late autumn bad come. Abe hadu't tired himself out looking for any more Joba, but waa now offered the position of night watchman of the vlllape. It was cold job and poor pay, and no one wanted 1t until he stepped forward. Not a robbery had ever been commit ted in the village, but there were tax payers who thought It best to guard aralnat uch thing happening. ben the constable beard of tbe appoint ment he met Abe to aay: "No foollshneaa, now. "If robbers come I (ball kill aome of them," was the reply. "But If you have them kill you don't make a mess of It." "I aball do my best to die, and when you aee me lying dead you will be sor ry for what you have said." Two weeks passed, and then one night at midnight there were yella and abots and tbe noise of running, and the people turned out to And Abe 811nger missing. He wa searched for, but not found. Next day there wa a grand bunt, but no clew. Robbers had killed him and borne hla body away another public subscription for the widow more provision, fuel and clothing. She actually opened an ac count at the village bank and put on mourning. Another two week and the cat came back. Abe walked In to say that be bad discovered three yegg men about to break Into the postofflee and when be had fired on them they had seized and chloroformed him and borne blm away In a buggy- For tw-elve daya he had known nothing, but now-he-had come back to take his job again. Hoewell didn't aay much. It didn't threaten. It didn't bring out tar and feather. It simply naked the ques tion of Abe Sllnger: , "How much cash will yon take to aknte out of thla town and atay katedr ' "One hundred dollar." waa the prompt reply. And It waa ralsedl In an hour, and within an hour Abe and hi wife were departing for new fields. They were poor, but honest, but nop-, well preferred the other kind. Awarding Contract on High 8ohool.

The London docks long have been one of the romantic If som ber glories of the metropolis. For merly tbey .were uneijualcd for size and tonnage, and the greatest ships afloat entered them comfortably., Dur lng tbe last twenty-five years, bow ever, tbey bave fallen behind in tbe march of progress. Tbey bave be come too small for tbe largest vessels. and trade ha gone elsewhere. Ham bnrg In 1008 passed London with 24. 000,000 ' tons to London's 20.000.000 tone. For several year tbe question baa been seriously considered by leading Brttf'b business men. and nine years ago a royal commission recommended an outlay of $35,000,000 for Improve menta.' Now thj London port autborl tj, of which Lord Devonport Is chair man, propose to spend more than $70.000.0(10-$20,000,000 In tbe Immedl ste future and tbe remainder biter. ' - Tbe port authority la self supporting, and th changes will Involve no In crease In taxea or cost to tbe ship owner. Tbe dock jrlll be vastly en larged, and tbe river will be dredged to give a depth of thirty feet at low tide. Tbua facilities will be provided not only for the biggest ships of today, but for the largest likely to be built in thirty years. Both freight and passenger business will be developed, and Lord Devon port expects five yeara hence to aee a flourishing service of express steamers between Tilbury and America and many other part a of the world. "We do not hope to compete with Liverpool for fast travel say Lord Devonport, "but w expect to have ahlp of the llauretanla type carrying paisengers between Loudon and New York In alx daya.. Then thousands will decide to take thla route rather than travel by rail to Liverpool to accom plish the voyage In four and a half daya."
