Br a Staff "Writer Final Letter.
CORVALLIS, Or., Dec. 1. In the series
of letters In which this is to be the last,
I have sought to. round up In a very gen
eral way the stock Interest of Oregon,
with special attention to Its leading
branches. I have long held to the opinion
that it Is along hcse lines that our surest
opportunists of productive progress He.
In everything that relates to animal hus
bandry we have positive advantages, and
this cannot be said respecting a very -wide
range of general farming operations. We
can, to be sure, ..produce almost every
thing In Oregon, but there are many
things which we cannot produce with de
pendable regularity and sure commercial
profit. Our working season is too short
for commercial success Jn many lines;
the rains cut the season at both ends and
involve a great many sorts of production
In uncertainties; and at the same time
they prevent the farmer from getting the
most out of his time. It behooves us,
therefore, to seek out those lines of pro
duction not affected by the hazards of our
climate to pvt our effort in the things
in which the natural conditions of the
country work with us. Animal husbandry'
Is plainly our surest hold. Its basis is
animal food; and nature has given us the
conditions for producing foods in great
quantity and of almost uncqualcd quality.
The mildness of our Winters' Is, another
fact of special advantage; and days of
rain, which make such inroads upon the
time of the general farmer, are not lost
days to the stockman. In animal hus
bandry in Oregon there are literally no
postponements on account of weather
and tills Is not true of any other business
which has to be' carried on out of doors.
-This general fact was appreciated more
than SO years ago by a man to whom
Oregon agriculture and animal hesbandry
owes more than to any other 20 men
namely, the late William S. Ladd. Mr.
Ladd did not theorize as a college pro
fesror would, but he saw the practical
point clearly and he arranged far in ad
vance of the times and outside the lines
of any posfclble personal and direct profit
to give the country a start in the best
animal breeds. Partly on his own ae- (
count, and partly In association with
Mr. S. G. Rfed. another man of large
means and liberal enthusiasm, he estab
lished several model farms and breeding
establishments, and gave to the latter
such an aggregation of the best blood
lines as this country nor any other is
likely soon to see again. Mr. William
Watson, an -gl!sh expert of great rep
utation, tl test. Indeed, of his time
was com:. .ied to get for the Ladd
& Heed places the very best blood in
horses, cattle, sheep and hogs that could
be had for money. It was an ideal op
portunity for an expert and an enthusiast,
and the most was made of it. In 1S69 and
1S70 great stock shows were held In Eng
land, and Mr. Watson bought the winners
for the Ladd & Reed establishments. He
searcned the Eastern States for the best
that could be had in American stock lines,
and he extended his operations into Can
ada for specialties suited to our con
ditions and needs. The result was such
a triumph as can be achieved only when
there Is the closest co-operation between"
technical skill and a long purse. The
stock assembled at the Reedville farms
in 1870 has been declared by experts to be
tho very finest aggregation ever made not
the greatest in numbers, but the best in
Its representation of breeds and Individ
ual merit. ,
In the course of these letters I have
many times spoken of the Influence of
this great Importation upon the stock of
the country, for it Is impossible to write
T3f Oregon livestock without constant ref
erence to IL And It would be impossible
p exaggerate Its Importance. Prior to
this Importation there had been no posi
tive standards for Oregon stock. We had
jvorked out an exceptionally fine lot of
borf-es from the Immigrant stock, but It
was an accidental product rather than a
definite breed, and there was no assur
ance that It would be permanent Our
cattle were a mongrel breed of no partic
ular type, answering the pioneer purpose
very well, but not suited to the present
day, when breed counts for much, even
with the buyer for beef. Our sheep and
bogs, like our cattle, were mongrels of a
relatively unprofitable kind, for they were,
not of the sort which yield the maximum'
of profit In return for "the minimum of
food. The purpose of the Ladd & Reed
importation was o give the country a
start In new and better blood lines, and
,4t was successful beyond the hopes of
those who planned It. It set up imme
diately standards of universal acceptance,
and It gave to the public for It was long
maintained as a stud the means of grad
ing up its stock. It stimulated, too, the
ambition of stockmen and was the pri
mary motive of many private Importa
tions which followed it. It gave, in short,
a new birth to the stock Interest, both of
Oregon and Washington, and fitted it to
enter Into general competitions a good 10
jrears before It would have been if left to
ilormnl and slow-moving processes. Ore
gon and Washington today are many mIK
Hons of dollar? richer in their holdings
T5f livestock than if this great importation
Jiad never been made
It is only within the past three our four
years, however, that the movement toward
animal husbandry in Western Oregon has
been rapid: Indeed, it is only Just now
that it has come to be generally under
stood that livestock is our natural
specialty. But the movement is general,
and It gains in popularity and force with
every month. Within three years approxi
mately 100 creameries have been estab
lished in the Willamette Valley, and With
all this increase it Is found Impossible to
keep up with the demand for creamery
products. Owners of cows are every
where finding, them a source of steady and
large profit; and there is not a district
put of the many which have gone ex
tensively into dairying "which does 'not
exhibit even to the most casual view the
benefits which the new industry has given
tt. The cow - is yvolutionlzlng the In
dustry, and the fortunes of the Valley,
and Is setting a pace which must give to
It a prosperity such as it has never en
Joyed in the past. With the movement
in dairying there must soon come an In
crease In the .general animal Industry, for
In a country like ours the best results
are attained when the leading animal lines
work together. The hog industry espe
cially is one which thrives in connection
with dairying, for It finds a large feed
resource In the waste predicts of the
dairy.
As yet our stock practice largely de
pends upon native grasses orupon the
products of an old-type agriculture. There
are better and more economical products
and our people must learn the simple trick
of making them. And they are learning
very rapidly. I am told by storekeepers
who supply Willamette Valley farmers
that the efemnnd for clover and other
sorts of forage seeds is 200 per cent greater
than It was prior and up to two years
j.go. This Ss u wholesome fact a mighty
wholesome fai-t, for it shows that the
country is waking up to its opportunities.
And It Is by waking up from the inside
that the Industrial regeneration of the
country Is to come. We are not going to
have any such movement of new people
as will lift us bodily out of the old prac
tices and establish us in new and better
practices. Even in this fast-moving age
the world does not change in this fashion.
The improvement In our domestic Industry
must flow from increased knowledge and
truer motives on the part of our own peo
ple. And herein lies the advantage of the
work being done by the agricultural col
lege and tbe jexperimcnt station at Cor
vallis. It is truly a great work great In
Itself and even -grciter in the sense that
it is especially applicable to the require
ments of a people who need to learn the 1
motives and ways of modern agriculture.
We ought to give the Corvallls establish
ment more to do and more to do with
for It is, I believe, vitally connected
with our Industrial advancement. And
it Is because I feel that It ought to have
more to do with that I resent the policy
which loads it up wjth courses which have
no relation to agriculture, but which con
sume its resources. The farmers of the
state, I think, ought to rise up through
their representation at Salem this Winter
and demand that the funds granted in tho
name of agriculture be devoted to agri
culture, and that the courses at the Agri
cultural College unrelated to agriculture
be provided for in ether ways.
Every such review of any branch of our
Industry as that which has given mc the
basis of this series of writings affords
new views of the future commercial
greatness of Portland. The animal indus
tries, for example, are dependent for their
greater development upon packing-houses
and a commercial market; and every re
quirement and every condition points di
rectly to Portland. It Is even more true
now than in he earlier conditions of the
country that Portland Is the nearest and
most convenient common point In the
Pacific Northwest. From every productive
district In either Oregon or Washington
the road to Portland is downhill. The
two great and dominating valley Bystcms
of the country meet here and this fact
alone Is sufficient to establish the pre
eminence of -Portland. More and more as
we make progress along the lines of pro
ductive Industry will the advantageous
situation of Portland be manifest, for aj
no other point in the country can there
be established the great central stations
which productive industry creates.

FOR SELLWOOD'S FERRY
BILL PREPARED FOR. APPROPRIA
TION OF 930,000.
RESCUED - FROM THE DEEP
Canal-Boat Captain and . Family
Within Jaws o Death.
NEW YORK. Dec. 1. Four, persons
have narrowly escaped death in the sink
ing of a canal-boat on Long Island Sound.
Tho boat was In tow of the tug Hattte B.
The wind was blowing a gale, and after
leaving Hell Gate, bound east, the decks
of the tug and canal-boat were awash of
a rolling, heavy sea. When near the
north end of North Brother Island, the
hawser parted, sending the boat adrift.
Efforts were made to get a new line to
it. The tug- approached as closely as it
could with safety, the boat bobbing up
and down like a top. Suddenly the tide
swept it against a rock, which tore a big
hole in Its side, and it began to fill and
settle.
All attempts to save the boat were given
up, and every effort was directed to res
cuing the family of Captain Bentley, who
sought safety in the little cabin on the
upper 4eck, where they locked themselves
in. Line after line was thrown to them,
but Captain Bentley could not catch them.
Finally, with the aid of a life-saving gun,
a line was shot across the roof of the
cabin within reach of Bentley, who. tied
the end to the hatches. Quickly impro
vising a pulley and a breeches buoy out
of an old salt bag, Bentley gave the sig
nal to the crew of the tug, which pulled
one member of the family over after the
other. Children were first, then the
mother, and last of all Bentley. As the
line was cut, the' canal-boat went down.

Portland.
The committee Is composed of J. M.
Nlckum, A. N. Wills, Professor Edward,
Curtis, E. B. Madden and W. E. Pettln
ger. A. N. Wills thinks that the proper
course will be to combine with the Alblna
people. He does not think It practicable
for Alblna to have two .ferries close to
gether, but If arrangements can be- en
tered Into by which Alblna can get a new
and larger boat and the ferry there could
be used at Sellwood, It would be advan
tageous to all concerned. D. M. Donaugh
also thinks this would be about the right
action. Mr." Donaugh said yesterday:
"I have talked with several of the Mult
nomah delegation, and all admlf that
Sellwood should be provided with a ferry.
A. N. Wills and the City Auditor figured
otlt that a ferry could be operated at Soil
wood for about $2500 per annum. We
should have this ferry, and I am Inclined
to think that Portland will concede this
much to this growing suburb."
HENDERSON DENIES FRAUD
Ojvner of Long-Contested Railrond
Bonds Makes Sensational Offer.
KANSAS CITY, Dec. 1. John B. Hen
derson, of Washington, D. C, represent
ing the owners of the famous St. Clair
County bonds, valued at ?344,O0O and issued
in 1870 to build the Lebo & Necfeho Rail
road, appeared in the United States Dis
trict Court here today and refuted a
charge that the bond issue was secured
by fraud. Although the bonds were sold,
the railroad was never built, and Hender
son secured Judgment for the full amount,
with interest, which now amounts to over
?1,000,000.
To prevent the judgment from lapsing
he recently petitioned the court to renew
It. Thereupon the St. Clair County offi
cials filed an answer to the petition pray
ing that the Judgment be set aside, and
stating among other things that "St. Clair
County definitely, distinctly, -expressly and
positively alleges that eaid Judgment was
procured by actual and positive fraud on
the part of Mr. Henderson."
Mr. Henderson today made an impas
sioned denial of the charges and offered
to have the case tried again upon Its
merits. The attorney-for St. Clair County
refused to agree to this, and the court
struck out the portion, of the answer ob
Jected to by Henderson.

UXIOJT AVEXCE OPENED UP.
Now a Public Street Through to
Woodlawn. ,
Union avenue Is now a public street
from its southern extremity to Wood
lawn The condemnation proceedings
which had been up for some time wcro
ended Saturday, and ail the money for
the assessment of benefits and damages
has been paid. Plans will soon be made
for the Improvement of the avenue from
Alberta street to Woodlawn, and the city
will soon have a clear roadway, into the
northern suburb.
Efforts have been made to have the ave
nue opened for the past 10 years. Dur
ing that time every Councilman who haB
represented the ward In the city legisla
ture has done everything In his power to
flCLure favorable consideration for the
matter, but all were unsuccessful until
this year, when Councilman Flegel, after
some strenuous work, obtained the help
of property-owners, and the open street is
the result. Heretofore, all team traffic on
Union avenue from Alberta street to
Woodlawn has bad to pass over a poor
roadway running through private property.

TO TRY TO SETTLE CHURCH ROW.
Conference "Will Be Held In the Sec
ond Baptist Church.
An ex parte conference of Baptists will
be held this forenoon in the Second Bap
tist Church, for the purpose of settling
the difficulties that exist in that church.
It Is said that one or "two of the churches
have declined to send delegates, but most
of the Baptist churches In and around
Portland will be represented in the coun
cil. A member said that this council had no
authority to settle anything, and he ex
pressed doubt about seouring any sub
stantial results. He thought however,
that what' is called a mutual council would
accomplish something toward bringing
abaut a settlement The disagreement in
the Second Baptist Church Is one of long
standing, but it is a matter of church
government and not of doctrine.

Delicately fortned and gently reared, women will
find, in all the seasons of their lives, as maids or wives
or mothers, that the one simple, wholesome remedy
which acts gently and pleasantly and naturally, and
which may he used with truly heneflcial effects, under
any conditions,when the system needs a laxative is
Syrup of Eigs. It is well known to be a simple com
bination of the laxative and carminativo principles of
plants with pleasant, aromatic liquids, ?hich are
agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable
to the system when its gentle cleansing is desired.
Many of the ills from which women suffer are of
a transient nature and do not come from any organic
troublo and it is pleasant to know that they yield so
promptly to the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs,
but when anything moro than a laxative is needed it
is best to consult the family physician and to avoid
tho old-time cathartics and loudly advertised nos
trums of the present day. When one needs only to
removo the strain, the torpor,. the congestion, or
similar ills, which attend upon a constipated condi
tion of the system, use the true and gentle remedy
Syrup of Figs and enjoy freedom from tho depres
sion, the aches and pains, colds and headaches, which
are duo to inactivity of the bowels.
Only those "who buy the genuine Syrup of Figs
can hope to get its beneficial effects and as a guar
antee of the excellence of the remedy the full name
of the company California Fig Syrup Co. is
printed on the front of every package and without
it any preparation offered as Syrup of Figs Js fraud
ulent and should bo declined. To those who know the
quality of this excellent laxative, the offer of any
substitute, when Syrup of Figs is called for, is
always resented by a transfer of patronage to some
first-class drug establishment, where they do not
recommend, nor sell false brands, nor imitation
remedies. The genuine article may be bought of all
reliable druggists everywhere at 50 cents per bottle.

RAINFALL, 1.44 INCHES.
Sunday's Storm the Second Severest
This Winter.
Those who were rudely buffeted about
by the wind last Sunday doubtless thought
that Its velocity must be 75 miles per hour
at the very least, but the wind gauges of
the Weather Bureau showed a maximum
velocity of 34 miles per hour. Sudden
gusts attained a considerably higher
speed than this, however, and It was
these gusta that caused the annoyance of
flying hats and Inverted umbrellas. Dur
ing the 24 hours ending at 8 o'clock yes
terday morning 1.44 inches of rain fell.
The Sunday storm was of remarkably
quick development, and came up from
the south in a hurry. Sunday evening it
was central over Vancouver Island,, but
by yesterday morning the center had
moved eastward over Western Montana.
Ileavy rains fell over Western Washing
ton and, Oregon. The greater patt of the
Willamette Valley did not receive so thor
ough a drenching as Portland, but the
Upper Willamette Is still rising. At Al
bany the river stodd at the 5.2-foot mark
Sunday, and yesterday had rloen to 7.3
feet Salem reported Sunday that the
gauge -read 5.7 feet, and yesterday 8.7
feet.
The weather of November was charac-''
tcrized by its usual cloudiness. In the
meteorological summary issued by tho
Weather Bureau, every day is given as
cloudy or partly cloudy. Rain to the
amount of .01 of an Inch fell, on 22 days
of the month. The lowest temperature
was 31 degrees, recorded November 23. A
few warm day3 occurred, for on the
10th the mercury climbed up to 62 degrees.
Thus far this year the accumulated tem
perature has .been 78 degrees below the
normal, and If December does not do bet
ter In this respect than the preceding
month, 1902 will end with nearly a round
100 degrees of heat not delivered to Port
land. It would probably take the wladom
of the Chief of the Weather Bureau to
determine where this heat has been actu
ally delivered.
An excess of 1.92 Inches of moisture has
fallen since September 1.S The greatest
precipitation during any 24-hour period
was 2.05 inches, which fell on the second
and third days of the month.
