M0U1LA VALLEY TIMBU IS SOUGHT
(Continued from page one J

"The Salem, Falls City & Western
now operates from Black Rock to
West Salem, which is directly across
the river in Polk county from Salem.
Last year the road secured a fran
chise into Salem to operate along
Union street to a point past Capitol
street and at the time it was rumored
that the move had in view an exten
sion to Silverton and Abiqua. At the
same time the franchise was granted
the road secured permission from the
state and the War Department to con
struct a bridge across the Willamette
River from West Salem to Salem, to
be used as a connecting link for Its
line from West Salem into this city.
"Assistant General Manager Hin
shaw, who filed the resolutions, said
that it is planned to start construc
tion work on the bridge as soon as
the weather will permit and to run
cars into Salem at the earliest oppor
tunity. "Through the new extension, Salem
will be brought into direct connection
with some of the richest sections in
the Willamette Valley. Silverton and
Stayton are among the larger towns
of the valley. Stayton now is prac
tically without railroad communica
tion, while the railroad connection to
Silverton is roundabout and is of lit
tle value either to Silverton or Sa
lem. "In addition to this there are im
mense lumber holdings in the vicinity
of Silverton, which will be tapped by
the road and practically a new field
will be opened to market.
"It is probable that the road will
use motor cars for its passenger traf
fic on the extension, both to Silverton
and Stayton. This is the type of a
passenger car which is now in use
on the road between West Salem and
Black Rock."
Contagious Diseases Among Plants.
All the fungous diseases of plants,
such as mildew, scab, blight, rust, rot,
etc., are contagious. The contagion is
carried from year to year in the dis
eased part, be It leaf, fruit or branch.
The presence of any of this diseased
material in the orchard or vineyard in
creases the chance of the appearance
and spread of the disease another year.
Nothing is so destructive to the fungous
spores as fire, and all affected plants
or parts of plants should be cut out and
burned.
POSTPONED DUTIES.
When the seven days of the

A Napol eon
Of r lnance
By ROGER L. SIMPSON
We were talking about money mak
ing as a talent I mentioned the case
f Spangler.
Spangler and I were schoolmates.
He was always wanting to trade some
thing and invariably came out with
the best of the bargain. He was a
.miniature multimillionaire of the pres
ent day, a sort of whirlpool sucking in
all things that came within a certain
radius. We boys at the school could
not figure out how he did it It was
not pleasant when we got a new knife
or sled or pair of skates to have Span
gler come around with something posi
tively dazzling and offer to trade, for
we knew in the end he would have
our goods and his own too. But in
spite of ourselves our avarice would
get the better of us, and we would
lose what we had In an attempt to get
something better. The funny part of
yt all was that we never could detect
the boy in the slightest dishonesty or
even sharp practice. When he had
anything to dispose of or was offering
a trade, he would say: "Now, fellers,
I'd rather you wouldn't There are
certain things about this racket I'm
giving up I don't like, but you may
not object to them. As for me, I don't
know whether I shall be satisfied with
what you've got or not Anyway, I
won't blame you if I'm not."
By the' time he left- school he had
all the jackknives, tops, marbles, kites
and other such boys' belongings. He
went to the high school, and though he
didn't capture any prizes he took away
all the best tennis rackets, footballs
and hockey skates. He got through
with his education when he .was nine
teen, and those of his class who didn't
go to college, but went into business,
were suprised to hear that Spangler,
instead of learning something about
mercantile affairs, was going in at
once to be a full fledged producer.
And when they heard what he was
going to do every one smelled revenge.
He was going to raise chickens.
I told my father about Spangler's
move, and he said: "It is impossible
to raise chickens and eggs at a profit,
because the farmer, with whom you
must compete, will not look upon
his chickens as an asset In other
words, he is ready to sell them for
what he can get and consider it so
much gained." I "told this to the boys,
and they all agreed that although
Spangler's way of getting things had
been all very well at school, now that
he had got out into the world be
would find he was not so superior to
us after all. We were told that if
there was any way of ma"king money
out of chickens it must be right along
side of a good market, but when we
heard that Spangler had bought with
money of his own the things he had
acquired of us turned into cash a lit
tle farm away off in the country, with
no available road to market we howl
ed with delight
One grudge I bore the trader. I had
a diamond ring that had been worn'
by an aunt of mine and which she had

wUled me. Spangler got it. If I re
member correctly, in place of it I had
a pair of skates, four kites, a bag of
marbles and a gold watch and chain,
both the latter plated.
Well, this is the way Spangler work
ed chicken farming: He bought pp all
the chickens in the vicinity of' his
farm. When we heard that we con
cluded the farmers must buy from
him all the chickens they needed for
their tables. Then some one suggest
ed that farmers never eat chickens;
when they have them they sell them;
when they don't have them they take
no interest in them. It was evident
that Spangler had got out of his depth.
The effrontery of the man was made
manifest when he sent me a circular
that he was distributing among his
neighbors. He had lost "the diamond
ring that had been mine. He didn't
know, but he believed that one of his
chickens had swallowed it. Then fol
lowed the announcement that his
chickens were for sale at reasonable
prices and if any one should happen
to buy the one that might have swal
lowed the ring he would be some $49
to the good.
When I read this circular all my
ideas of revenge diffused like vapor.
I saw his scheme. But surely the har
dy sons of toil in the country would
not be taken in by this cheap device.
I ground my teeth together and wait
ed. Presently I got another circular
stating that 50 per cent of Spangler's
chickens had been sold and the ring
had not been reported found. The re
maining half were still for sale, but
the price had been doubled.
What nonsense: Pay $2 for a chick
en that might possibly have swallow
ed a diamond ring! I couldn't believe
that any more farmers would be guiled.
especially since this ridiculous price
had been put on a chicken. But they
(ivere. Spangler sold 40 per cent of
the" remaining chickens at $2 each, then
raised the price on the remaining ten
chickens skin and bone to $5 apiece
taking three old roosters himself. Thp
ring was found in the crop of one of
the trader's birds.
When 1 had finished my story Thomp
son asked what had become of this Na
poleon of finance. I told him that
Spangler acquired all the land round
about his farm, then went to the city,
raised a company to build a town on
it. sold out his interest at a big price,
became a promoter and was now at
the head of one of those mammoth in
stitutions that the government is try
ing to dissolve.

May Meet In Series of Contests.
For years there has been little row
ing In open competition by profession
als. A revival of it seems certain as a
result of the efforts of Eddie Durnan,
a Canadian professional sculler, to ar
range a match with R. Arnst for the
championship of the world. That
match has fallen through, but develop
ments have arisen from the negotia
tions which assure Durnan several
races this year.

ler of note in Boston, with Durnan.

single sculling championship of the
United States and Canada. Jim Wray.
the Harvard coach, and Frank B.
Greer, four time senior single amateur
sculling champion of Canada and the
United States, wish to row the Cana
dian. Durnan is regarded as the fastest
professional sculler on this side of the
Atlantic. He issued a challenge sev
eral months ago to Arnst the profes
sional champion of the world. Arnst
accepted on the condition that his
terms be complied with. Durnan
agreed to many of them, but others be
felt would have handicapped him and
made the match profitless to him.
Arnst suspended negotiations when he
learned that all his demands would not
be granted.

pionsbip. He left Canada in the finest
possible condition, but on the long
journey across the ocean he became
seasick. His condition grew grave,
and he required the services of a phy
sician. On the trip Durnan lost twen
ty pounds. He rowed the race shortly
after liis arrival because of stipulations
in the articles of agreement, but he
bad no chance to win.
When the fact became known that
Durnan was seeking matches and that
the one with Arnst had failed he was
challenged by Haines and also by
Wray. Some years ago Wray and Dur
nan were to have rowed, but the Har
vard coach found it impossible to meet
him after negotiations had been going
on some time:
Haines sent a direct challenge to
Durnan. The latter replied to It. He
would meet Haines in the spring In a
three or four mile race in Toronto bay.
Canada, for a purse of $1,000. The Ca
nadian prefers to row in June. The
warmer the weather the better it suits
him. The match has practically been
arranged. Of the three Wray. Greer
and Haines the latter will probably
get the first chance at the Canadian.
Boston rowing enthusiasts, especial
ly those in the amateur ranks, are in
clined to the belief that Greer would
prove a more formidable opponent
against Durnan than Wray or Haines.

power. He wrested the honor from C.

He retired from the amateur ranks
to accept a position as trainer for
crews. Greer is a much taller, broader
and stronger man than Durnan. He
has never rowed in competition a
greater distance than a mile and a
half. Durnan, on the other hand, is
well accustomed to traveling three and
four miles.

Plorio at the end of the former cen

to call their father, as ours say dad,
