HONESTY IS BEST POLICY
TIIIS IS THE SECRET OP DAIRY
MEN'S SUCCESS.
"Superior Quality and Full Wcislit"
Was the "Watchword at First Ses
, Klon of Farmers' Congress.
SALEM, Or., Jan. 6. "Superior quality
and honest weights" was the prominent
thought In the discussions of dairy inter
ests at the opening session of the farm
ers' congress this evening. Every speaker
emphasized this essential of success in
butter-making.
The opening session was attended by
leading dairymen from all sections of
"Western Oregon, and a very profitable
evening was spent.
Richard Scott, president of the State
Dairy Association, presided. Henry B.
Thlelsen, president of the Salem Com
mercial Club, delivered the address of wel
come, in which he reviewed briefly some
'of the forward strides taken In the dairy
Industry in the last few years. He said
he used to consider himself a farmer, but
found that in many respects those who
are actively engaged In agricultural pur
suits are practicing methods not known
to him. He warmly commended C. H.
Markham, recently general freight and
passenger agent for the Southern Pacific
lines In Oregon, and his successor, R. B.
Miller, for valuable "work they have done
in the advancement of the dairy indus
try, and said that dairymen must improve
prices of their products by Improving
quality. He said that Oregon can produce
butter cheaper and in better quality than
other states, and will some time ship but
ter to New York City.
Richard Scott responded to the address,
thanking the people of Salem for the
kindly welcome. He said that SO years
ago butter sold for CO cents a pound in
Portland, and the usual price of milk was
8 to 10 cents a quart. Yet bran was but
$7 a ton. Competition has forced down
prices so that many dairymen have failed,
and there Is now none too much to be
made in the Industry. He said none of
the dairymen have made 15 cents per hour
for their labor and 4 per cent on their
.Investment. He urged the passage of the
Grout bill by Congress, and loyal support
of Oregon's pure-food law. The Oregon
law, by requiring honesty in quality and
weight, will aid development of the dairy
Industry. Dairy and Food Commlsisoner
J. W. Bailey addressed the dairymen on
the duties of his office. He outlined the
duties briefly, and said that the Food
Commissioner stands between the pro
ducer and the consumer, to see that the
latter gets what he pays for. He re
counted his successful efforts in driving
oleomargarine out of the state, and some
of his unsuccessful attempts at securing
convictions for violations of other features
of law. He said some creamerymen are
so blind to their own Interests as to vio
late the law by selling short-weight but
ter, but he intends to continue his fight
against unscrupulous creamerymen until
they are forced to honest methods.
" Mr. Chnpin'K Address.
W. H. Chapln. of W. F. G-rafke Co.,
Portland commission merchants, spoke on
"Marketing of Dairy Products."
Mr.1 Chapin said that while he has pulled
beans in New York and punched cattlp
in the "Wasatch Mountains, he does not
consider himself much of a farmer. He
came to the farmers' congress to learn
something about farming, and especially
about butter and cheesemaklng. He ex
pressed the opinion that many dairymen,
perhaps .nine-tenths of them, need to at
tend the congress, and some such short
course of instruction as is provided at the
Agricultural College. He said in part:
"We have pure food laws and an In
spector to see that nothing but pure foods
are sold, and yet our markets are flllea
with great quantities of grease which
passes under the name of hutter. it is
actually a shame to see so much good
cream wasted In such miserable stuff,
and there te no reason for It, except that
the buttermaker does not know his busi
ness. I do not mean to say that all but
termakers do not understand their busi
ness, but that almost every buttermaker
In Oregon has a great many things to
learn about his business.
"Another thing is this: that our butter
Is being made with the idea that It Is to
be used immediately. That Is a great
mistake, and one that must be remedied.
Butter should be made In the flood
months April, May, June and July with
the idea of its being kept. That Is the
time of year when we fill our contracts
with the Government for their Army and
Navy supply. It Is the time when we can
do our exporting, and the "time when but
ter is a drag in the market; and for that
reason it should bo made so it will keep.
"Our Arm is pushing Oregon butter, and
is using every method devisable to se
cure for It the first place In all of the
foreign markets. Some brands of butter
give perfect satisfaction, and other
brands that seemed to be Just as good,
when put up, prove a dismal failure. The
Government has arranged to, have an In
spector at every exporting port where
,the business is sufficient to warrant it,
and we hope to secure one at Portland
in the near future.
"Regarding prices of butter In Port
land during the last year, I wish to say
that tha conditions have been very pe
culiar. Today's Eastern quotation on
butter Is about 25 cents per pound, with
a' freight rate of about 3 cents. That pre
vents the Importation of Eastern butter.
On the other h.and, California butter Is
quoted at 25 cents, with a freight rate of
about a quarter of a cent.- That means
that California can be laid down in Port
land for 25 cents. While this does not
affect our own local consumption, yet It
has this effect, that while we are trying
to get 26Vi cents from our neighbors on,
the Sound, It is impossible to do so in the
face of California competition.
"The market quotations show the top
price for butter from creameries which
have established a reputation, and yet
other creameries, putting out perhaps Just
as good a quality of butter, cannot get
the top price quoted. Creameries should
adopt some other plan of paying their
patrons than the basis of market quota
tions, or the fancy brands of butter
should be kept out of the market quota
tions entirely.
"We ship a largo amount of butter to
the Sound when butter Is plentiful, and
the demand Is for butter In tubs, yet we
have great difficulty in getting creamery
men to put it up that way. The creamery
men seem to think we want to put the
butter on 'storage or work some other
flimflam game that will work to their
detriment. I am inclined to think there
is less shrinkage on butter in tubs than
in boxes. At any rate, we should be will
elng to put up butter in the manner de
manded by the trader."
Mr. Chapln related an experience with
Tillamook cheesemakers who concluded
that 1 cents per pound commission was
too much for the middleman, and em
ployed agents, themselves. He did not
know how well they were satisfied with
the change, but submitted figures to show
that traveling men cost the commission
merchant about 5 per cent of the sales.
At one cent per pound commission the
profit on a case of CO pounds Is GO cents.
At 5 per cent commission when cheese Is
13 cents, the net profit would be 21 cents
for handling a ?7 80 transaction. If the
customer discounts his bills the profit is
only six cents. He contended that 14
cents per pound commission Is fair and
reasopable to both manufacturer and
merchant.
Mr. Chapln also gave figures to show
that even when butter Is at a high price,
it is more profitable by 3 cents per pound
to make cheese than It is to make butter.
Thomas Paulson and E. T. Judd took
Mr. Chapln to task for criticising The
Oregonlan for quoting the highest price
paid for creamery butter. They warmly
commended The Oregonlan for quoting
the highest price paid in open market, as
well as the lowest. Mr. Chapln con-
tended that If The Oregonlan quotes the.
price paid for fancy brands, the cream
eryxnen should take some other basis
than market quotations for paying .their
customers. Mr. Judd responded that It
made no difference anyway, for the
creameryman can always get.even on the
butter fat test. This caused hearty
laughter and the session adjourned with
. the utmost good feeling.
During the meeting an excellent recita
tion was given by Miss Mabel Lankton
Carter and a vocal solo was rendered by
Mrs. O. J. Scovell.
LAXD CIAIM IS VALID.
The Record Was Not at Oregon City,
but "Was Foand at "Wanhingrton.
OREGON CITY. Jan. 6. A decision was
received at the United States land office
today from Commissioner Hermann can
celing the state selection of 117 acres of
land in Marlon County. In 1854 Stephen
Deshautel filed a donation land claim on a
tract of land about two miles southeast
of Hubbard. On December 1, 1873, Des
hautel made final proof, but the certificate
does not appear to have been Issued, nor
has the patent been issued. It did not
appear from the records of the local of
fice that payment had been made on the
claim, and May 31, 1S01, the State of Ore
gon selected the tracts as school indem
nity lands.
Since Deshautel made final proof the
land has passed through half a dozen
hands. The present owner, Amos S.
Gleason, purchased the tract from John
F. Caples and J. C. Moreland. Upon be
ing Informed that the tract had been se
lected as lieu land by the State Land
Board. Mr. Gleason applied, through At
torneys Brownell and Draper, to have a
patent issued to Deshautel, alleging that
he acquired title, and has been living on
the land since 1872. The Register and
Receiver of the Oregon City office report
ed to the Commissioner that their records
failed to show that proof and payment
was ever completed on Deshautel's claim,
but the proof was found In the General
Land Office In Washington. As this
shows a satisfactory compliance "jvith the
law. State Land Agent L. B. Geer was
today notified that the state will be al
lowed CO days within which to show cause
why a final detention certificate should
not be Issued to Deshautel. as the basis
for a patent to hkn. and the selection of
the tracts by the state be canceled.
Motion Filed In Railroad Salt.
A motion was filed In the Circuit Court
this morning by the Oregon City & South
ern 'Railway Company, In the case of this
company against the Oregon & California
Railroad Company, to set aside the report
of Alfred F. Sears, C. F. Lester and W.
B. Chase, who were appointed to ascer
tain and determine the points and man-
ner of crossing and connection between
the railway lines of the plaintiff and de
fendant near Canemah. It is alleged that
the report Is unreasonable. The plaintiff
also holds that the commissioners have
exceeded their authority, and prays tho
court to require the commissioners to
amend their report or to make a new and
further report, or discharge the commis
sioners and appoint others In their stead.
Circuit Court in Session.
Judge T. A. 'McBride today convoked an
adjourned session of the Circuit Court,
and will be here until Saturday. The day

to quiet title of a strip of land running
under the bluff, which Is claimed by the
railroad. The attorneys were given until

one. The company expects to arrange

the officers and men. The drillroom Is
well supplied with gymnastic apparatus.
Company A Is gaining in membership, and

time than ever before.
FOR THEIR MOTHERS' SAKE.
A Woman Asks Governor Geer to
Save Wade and Dalton.
SALDM, Or., Jan. C Governor Geer has
received a letter from a resident of Port
land, Interceding for commutation of
the sentences of Murderers Wade and
Dalton. The name of the writer Is not
given, but evidently the plea is made by
a woman. Tho letter is as follows:
Pardon mo for taking the liberty to write
you. I have been reading In various paprs
of the unfortunate boye. Dalton and Jack
Wade. People say; "Isn't It awful?" But
they don't know anything about the awfulness
of It. unless they could read the miserable
boys' hearts, and see the wretched, white,
drawn faces of their mothers. We have a pub
lic prosecutor whoe success Is measured by
the number of persons he manages to put be
hind the bars. We do not have a public de
fender, whose duty It Is to see that criminals
shall have a friend In court. Could every man
and woman read the development of the unborn
child and know the condition of their mothers
durinp this stage. I believe one and all would
have sympathy for these two boys.
Three or four years oro, a well-to-do belle
of society, at Washington. D. C. took delib
erate aim at a harmless colored boy and shot
him down in cold bjood. She was acquitted,
although she admitted the crime.
I want to intercede with you to secure a
commutation of the sentence. While you may
feel that they deserve to be punished, the In
fliction of the death penalty In this case would
be altogether too severe. Days, weeks, In Jail
must be almost unbearable for one so young.
Pica so do have these unfortunate boys' sen
tences commuted. It surely will be a noble
act. They probably will learn trades, and as
the years go by. seemingly forgotten, grow to
be good men. Commute the sentence, and all
womankind will bless you. Many fathers and
sons will Justify you. and as you hone to re
ceive pardon at the hands of your Heaenly
Father, so pardon these bojjs. whose lives you
can save, and your name shall live when you
are dead, as does Lincoln's, who set at liberty
the helpless slaves.
If these boys are bad boys. It Is not necessary
for them to have had bad homes or vicious
parents. The cause must be looked for else
where. Parents, study, take warning, and do
not be unhappy, nor wish for Jthings you can
not accomplish, so as to leave Impression
upon unborn children.. Offenses come, but woe
unto hlra through whom they come. We per
mit the sale of pernicious literature. We pay
no attention to the enforcements of the laws
regulating the sale of cigarettes and liquor to
minors. I am aware this Is a trying ordeal.
My heart bleeds for the boys.

ARTHUR II. XOYES.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. C The United States Court of Appeals today fined
Judge Arthur H. Noyes for contempt of court. United States District Attorney
Joseph K. Wood and his assistant, C A. Froot, were sentenced to Imprisonment
for the terms of four months and one year, respectively. The only one of the
respondents present was Frost. The opinion of the court was read by Judge Mor
row, who said: ,
"I concur In the finding of fact contained In the opinion of Judge Gilbert, in
the cases of Arthur H. Koyes, Joseph K. Wood and C. A. Frost. I am also
of the opinion that the evidence does not establish the charge against Thomas J.
Geary. In my Judgment, the evidence established the fact that there was a con
spiracy between the respondent. Koyes, McKenzIe and others to secure possession
of certain valuable mining claims at Nome, "Alaska under proceedings Involving
the appointment of a receiver for the purpose of working the properties and ob
taining the gold deposited In the claims. To carry these proceedings to a sup
posed conclusion, Nojes, McKenzIe and others found It a necessary part of their
scheme to resort to the process of this court. In pursuance of this conspiracy,
the contempt charged against Noyea was committed, but I agree with Judge Gil
bert that this conspiracy Is outside the charge of contempt, am. In view of the
fact that the respondent, Noyes, holds a judicial position, I concur In his Judg
ment that the respondent be required to pay a fine of $1000." Judge Gilbert and
Judge Morrow were of the same opinion In all respecta

SEATBLE, Wash., Jan. 6. The steamer
Despatch, which: picked up the survivors
of the Walla Walla disaster, arrived fn
port today, and Captain Vlotor Johnson
gave a vivid account of the work of the
rescue. Of his own great service lit sav
ing the lives of so many he would talk
but little. He expressed strong Indigna
tion at the actions of some of the Walla
Walla's crew. In speaking of the wreck
he said:
"To begin at tho beginning, we sailed
from San Francisco New Year's day, and
were passed that afternoon by the. Walla
Walla. I thought .nothing more about her
until 8 o'clock the morning of January 2,
when we picked up a lifeboat containing
three firemen. These men, I suppose I
will have to designate them as men, told
me the Walla Walla had sunk; that no
one save themselves was left to tell the
tale. At first I was Inclined to discredit
them. They stuck to their story after
they were aboard, so I had to believe
them. Then it dawned on me what they
had done, sneaked away like cowards,
three sailors in a strong boat, capable of
carrying many, and left helpless women
and mxi to drown. Within a short time
we came upon another boat, and another
and another, until we had found four
boats' and four life rafts, all told. We
cruised and cruised, picking up people
here, there and everywhere. Such hard
ships! Some were hauled aboard uncon
scious; others were practically nude, and
many had borne up with remarkable
strength and vitality. We had to handle
them roughly getting them aboard."
qHB IS RICH IN GOLD.
Vein fn Dry Digging" District Shows
Much Promise.
GRANT'S PA33, Jan. 6. An Oregonlan
correspondent yesterday visited the re
cently discovered mammoth ledge of
the Dry Diggings district that is creating
much comment In Southern Oregon mining
circles. Pike & Perkins, the discov
erers and locators on tho big ledge, have
men at work sinking a shaft. This will
be run to a depth of &) feet, from which
depth a drift will be run for the west
wall. The dyke or ledge dips at angle
of 45 degrees east, the ledge having an
almost due north and south course. It
has a width of from 200 to 25o feet, and
values are carried In. both gold and plat
inum from wall to wall. The whole Is
made up of a soft, crumbling mass of
metamorphic rock or porphyry, all parts
of which can be worked readily with a
pick. The general color of the ledge com
position is a dark brown. Rich sulphurets
glitter from all parts of It, and often oc
cur in large bunches or pockets.
The values range from $2 75 to 50 60 per
ton. They will easily average i 75 per
ton, of which 52 60 Is free milling. All
mining men who have examined the big
dyke are of the opinion that it Is the
making of one of the biggest quartz mines
In the Northwest. Its remarkable slse,
Its value. Its accessibility for work, are
all ahead of. any of the greater mines of
today.
Gold Jlrlck From. Baby.
A 30-ounce gold brick, the result of an
eight-day run with a two-stamp mill at

days ago. The Baby mine Is a new mine.
In process of development. A wide and rich
ledge is uncovered, and will be opened up
for extensive work.
The rich vein recently discovered by
Andrews "Bros., on Jones Creek, of the Dry
Diggings district, has developed Into a 15
lnch ledge at a depth of but 15 feet. A
mill test of a ton of ore from the 'vein
gave returns of ?40 free gold.
At a depth of 30 feet, In the tunnel be
ing driven Into the Barlckman-Booth
mine, of Pickett Creek district, a 12-foot
ledge Is uncovered. Values are carried in
both gold and copper. It la a new prop
erty of much promise.
Ore running $70 per ton has been struck
in the Deer Horn mine, of the Gold Hill
district. The ledge has a width of 33
Inches. The values are mainly free mill
ing. English Company Purchases Mine.
