in Oregon.-
EXHAUSTION OF THE SOIL
"Wheat growers of Eastern Portion of
the State "Warned Against" the
Single Crop and Rota
tion Advised.
"I welcome you here today from the
Oregon Agricultural College and from the
farm to this institute in the name of the
Patrons of Husbandry. "Within the past
few years we have made wonderful prog
ress toward better and more productive
methods of farming, and we of the
Grange feel that wo have had something
to do with the progress that has been
made. "We specially welcome these pro
fessors from the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege for the reason we think such Insti
tutlonu have been and arc a blessing to
the Nation at large."
The foregoing were the opening words
of J. J. Johnson, master of Evening Star
Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, yesterday
morning at the opening of the three days"
congress and institute in the hall on the
Section Line road. There was a fair at
tendance at the opening, which largely
Increased in the afternoon.
Dr. James WiUiycombe's Response.
Dr. James Wlthycombe, of the Oregon
Agricultural College, responded to the
address of welcome, expressing appre
ciation for the fentlments of the master
of the Grange. He set forth the import
ance of the Institute as a means of
bringing to the ufe of the farmers of
the country the Information gathered at
the experimental stations of colleges, by
men who give their entire time to gath
ering it up.
."We of the West and of Oregon in par
ticular," said Dr. Wlthycombe, "have
the very finest country and climate in the
world, for the pursuit of agriculture. We
are the servants of the people, and these
Institutes are for the purpose of bring
ing the college people and those who can
not attend college together, and hence
we seek to make these gatherings prac
tical and do not come here with set
speeches, but rather to answer questions.
Agriculture is the science of all sciences,
and it means much for the farmer who
would make the most of his occupation.
I am sorry that so many leave the farm
for other occupations, and that so many
young men of Oregon come to our Insti
tution to take a commercial course, to
stand behind the counter, when they
could enter what to me is a most hon
orable and dignified occupation that of
farming. And so I trust that this in
stitute will stimulate and promote a love
for the country, as has been done in
other portions of the state through such
gatherings."
Plants Must Have Food.
Professor A. L.. Knlsley, chemist of the
experiment station. Agricultural College,
ppoke entertainingly on "Plant Food."
He spoke from the standpoint of a scien
tist ' He. set forth that plants must have
food the same as animals, or the best
results could not be obtained.
"Wo must treat the plants very much
as we do animals." he said. "We must
give them proper food :fpd the question
is what is the proper foJi. how shall wo
get i.t and introduce it to the soil. "We
all know that there are between 70 and
R0 food elements in the soils, but we have
to consider only about threo or four food
elements and need not consider the others.
Nitrogen, phosporous acid, potash and
lime are the principal elements for food."
Professor Knlsley explained how the
food elements may be Introduced by the
use of vetch and clover, which fills the
noil with plant food that had been ex
hausted, but different localities require
different treatment.
In answer to a question from J. W.
Brock whether the soli of certain wheat
counties in Eastern Oregon could be ex
hausted and renewed, and now, he said
that undoubtedly the soils of the best
wheat fields of Eastern Oregon could and
would bo exhausted of plant food in
course of time without rotation or taking
some measures to replenish the exhaus
tion. This brought Dr. Wlthycombo to his
feet, who said: "It is a very serious qucf
tlon for the wheatgrowers of Eastern
Oregon and I hope that they may come
to realize It that of replenishing the
soil of that now rich country. It will not
be disputed that these wheat lands of
the Inland country are the richest in tiie
world, but they will be exhausted
in time, under tho present draft on the
food elements which they contain, with
out something is done to restore and re
plenish what nature has bestowed, so
lavishly. It must be replenished or there
is sure to be exhaustion of plant food.
It is very important that the farmers of
these great grain-raising districts should
come to realize this fact."
C. H. Welch, a prominent farmer of
Mount Tabor, gave his personal expe
rience In fertilizing the soil for fruits,
and gave his verdict that vetch was the
best. He went into details and set forth
the use of other fertilizers.
Talks on Bee Culture.
Perhaps the most interesting talk of the
afternoon was on "Bee Culture." by O.
K. Rice, of Gray's River. Wash., who
has engaged in the business for ten years.
Mr. Rice graduated from "before the
mast." so he said, and had never faced
an audience before, but he gave a prac
tical demonstration of successful raising
of bees. He used demonstrations with
the bee stands and the parts. He showed
that the keeping of bees could be made
profitable.
"We develop bees." said Mr. Rice, "the
same as you breed up animals so as to
get the best results. You mix the breeds
of the nctive bee with the less active, and
secure a working bee from which the best
results are obtained by taking the eggs
from the first and letting the latter fer
tilize them."
Mr. Rice gave a practical demonstra
tion of his treatment of bees, showing
how he cleaned the stands in the Spring,
and how he feeds and keeps them warm
In Winter, so as to be ready for the Spring
activity. All these steps were illustrated
as he proceeded with his talk, which occu
pied more than an hour, during which he
was never dull.
Training of a Tree.
H. A. Lwis. of Russellvllle. appeared
on the platform with a great bunch of
fruit trees, from the yearling to the sec
ond growth, and gave a practical demon
stration of how to prune and plant trees
eo as to secure best results. He said that
moat people selected the larger two-year-old
trees for transplanting, but he said
he preferred the yearling. He picked up
several out of his bunch and showed why
the young trees were the best. He took
up a yearling tree and pruned Its roots
and then Its branches.
"A great many people," said Mr. Lewis,
"would think that I cut the tree down
too much, but they will find they can gt

the best results from proper pruning. The
tree will not have to sustain too much
growth, the sap will be allowed to go Into
the fruit, and not in the growth of the
tree."
Mr. Lewis also showed that the roots
of the young tree in transplanting should
not be bent or cramped, but so placed
that they could gather the strength of
the soil. He handled and pruned a dozen
trees before the Interested audioncc in
demonstrating the methods he had found
successful In growing productive fruit
trees.
Many questions were answered by the
speaker. Mr. Lewis proved a remarkably
clear demonstrator, and all from hla per
sonal experience.
Tells of Fruit Pests.
Folowlng uj this subject. Professor A.
B. Cordlcy. of the Agricultural College,
spoke on "Fruit Pests." He referred main
ly to root and crown borers of strawber
ries. He said that the only known remedy
was to removo the plants that were in
fected entire and destroy them, as thore
was no way to destroy the pests by spray
ing. R. P. Rasmusscn. a farmer of Multno
mah County, gave a practical talk about
spraying that was full of information.
Last evening there was an excellent
programme. Mrs. Vcrna "Welch Royal
gave a solo at the opening, followed by a
fine talk by J. TV. Bailey, State Dairy
and Food Commissioner, on "Pure-Food
Laws and Their Benefit to the Farmer."
J. H. Reld, Fruit Inspector, gave a talk
setting forth the benefits that have al
ready been secured by inspection of fruits.
Mrs. Clara Waldo, state lecturer, set forth
the "Objects and Purposes of the
Grange." She said it sought to uplift
and educate the farmer and his family,
and was doing that work. Mrs. Royal
gave the closing solo.

THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FREDA.T, DECEMBER 8, 1905.
MAYOR A WITNESS
Called to Municipal Court in
Poker Cases.
MAIN QUESTION RULED OUT!
Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald
Makes Spirited Objection to Line
of Interrogatories of Attor
ney Charles Pet rain.
In response to a subpena. Mayor Lane
appeared In the Municipal Court yester
day morning to give evidence In the cases
of Frederick W. Lutkorocicr and others,
arrested last week in a raid on a saloon
at 49 Union avenue. Attorney Charles A.
Petraln, representing tho defendant."
wished information concerning the policy
of the administration and the city chief
executive told him that Jie police were
instructed "to enforce all the laws Im
partially, alike to the rich and the poor,
the high and the low." Two hours wero
consumed, after which Judge Young said
he would decide the matters this morning.
Deputy City Attorney Fitzgerald raised
emphatic and repeated objections to ques
tions asked Mayor Lane by Mr. Petraln.
but Judge -Young said that the Mayor
wished to reply to the question of policy
and. despite a ringing speech from the
city's prosecutor, overruled the objec
tion. Mr. Fitzgerald's view of the situ
ation was that It was setting a bad prece
dent to "drag" the Mayor down Into the
Municipal Court and compel him to tes
tify, "as every Tom, Dick and Harry
may feel inclined."
Right of Police .Officers.
Have the' police officers of this city
the authority to go about as they see fit,
dropping into any place they may wish
and to arrest any one their caprices may
dictate?" was the, question asked of
Mayor Lane by Mr. Petraln.
Mr. Fitzgerald here Interposed strong
objection, saying he would not permit
such matters to be threshed out, if he
had bis way. in the cases under investi
gation. He said that an attorney who
would attempt to bring such Immaterial
testimony into a case must have immacu
late galL
Mr. Petraln replied by saying that he
was strictly opposed to "the monstrous
policy of the learned gentleman who rep
resents the city in court, holding that po
lice officers are infallible."
"I do not think the question is material
to the cases, but I think the Mayor would
like to answer." said Judge Young, where
upon Mr. Fitzgerald again registered
strong objection, saying it was setting a
bad precedent.
"Through Instructions delivered through
the Chief, for me. the police are ordered
to enforce the laws impartially, alike to
the rich, and the poor, the high and the
low," was Mayor Lane's answer.
The Unanswered Question.
"Then, if It should appear upon the
records of this court that in any other
cases, similar to these, persons had been
arrested for a like offense, but had been
released without prosecution, what would
you say to that?" asked Petraln.
"I will not sit here as a representative
of the city and hear such claptrap any
longer." shouted Mr. Fitzgerald, rising
and addressing Judge Young. "Such a
farce was never attempted in this court
before, and I refuse longer to sit and
listen to It. I object to this stuff, so
foreign to the cases."
"What particular cases do you refer to.
Mr. Petralnr asked Mayor Lane, before
Judge Young had time to rule.
"Oh. I refer to no particular case." re
plied Mr. Petraln.
"I fall to see that this line of evidence
is material In this case." said Judge
Young.
"Very well, if that Js the case. I have
no further questions to ask you. Dr.
Lane: I thank you for your kindness
said Mr. Petraln.
Mayor Laae stepped briskly- fress ts
witness-stand and hurried from the court
room to the City Hall.
Bruin a Good Witness.
Captain of Detectires Patrick Bruin
was then called by Mr. Fitzgerald, and
the real evidence in the poker caws was
begun. It was the first lime Bruin has
been on the stand In Portland, and of
him it can be said that he Is the best
witness giving testimony in the Munici
pal Court for many months. He volun
teered nothing, answered all quem Ions
clearly and quickly, without comment or
any effort to dodge the issue.
The city showed that a poker game
was in progress when Bruin.' Kay and
Jones entered the saloon; that chips were
in sight; that money changed hands and
that there was every appearance of
gambling.
The defense showed by its witnesses
that Mr. Lutkcmeier. keeper of the sa
loon in which tho arrests were made, did
not permit playing for money In his
establishment, and that "he had a sign
over the entrance stating that no play,
lng for money was allowed. It was ad
mitted that a game of "freeze-out" poker
was In progress, but it was contended
that It was for the drinks only.
ROB H. A. MOORE'S HOME
Burglars Take Nothing but Jewelry
From Residence.
Burglars entered the residence of H. A.
Moore, at 54 Everett street, at 9 o'clock
last night, ransacked the place and stole
Jewelry valued at 1175. Prying up the win
dow, the men entered the place while the
servant girl was asleep. They gained en
trance through a back window, and while
the family was absent, turned the furni
ture upside down. and. beside two valua
ble pins, took many articles of minor
value.
Mr. and Mr. Moore were absent at the
time, having gone to visit friends. The
burglars did not take anything other than
the Jewelry, which was lying on the dress
er In a sleeping-room. None of the sil
verware, or other articles which could
easily be identified, was molested. The
servant girl, who was sleeping In an up
per room, did not hear the entrance of
the men. and did not know of the bur
glary until the return of Mr. and Mrs.
Moore.
The burglars took a diamond brooch
valued at $110 and a gold pin valued at CO.
Mr. Moore, who Is president of the Ore
gon Savings Bank, examined the residence
carefully after his return, but could dis
cover nothing of much value missing- ex
cept the two pins.
Captain Moore, of the second night re
lief, was notified, and Detectives Kay and
Jones were assigned to the case! Both
detective who have been assigned to the
part of the city in which tho robbery took
place made an Investigation of the prem
ises, and visited all the places where there
was a possibility of the burglars going,
but no arrests were made.

GUARDSSfEX.
Armory Fitted Tip for Purpose and
Thousands of Rounds of Am
munition Supplied.
What local militia officers describe as
the best Indoor shoo tin? gallery for mus
ket practice in the United States has Just
been completed at the local Oregon Na
tional Guard Armory. The finishing
touches were applied yesterday and prac
tice shooting with the new 22-caliber
single-shot muskets, supplied by the War
Department, will be held each night by
the local companies. The gallery Is not
an entirely new one, but is a modification
of the old Indoor range built on the main
floor of the Armory off the drill hall when
the building was erected. Its original
cost was about $3X0. By the remodeling
of the range, and the Installation of new
piping, lights and gun racks, the new
gallery has been made.
The distance at which the men shoot
at the targets Is now SO feet in accordance
with special course B, prescribed by the
department for militia companies all over
the country. Twenty thousand rounds of
the 22-callber ammunition have been sent
to Adjutant-General Flnzer for use by
the Oregon militia, half of which Is one
make and the remainder another, the ob
ject being to make tests of the relative
merits of the ammunition.
In ten days the men will begin shooting
with the regulation United States maga
zine rifle. 30-caliber. 3).GQQ rounds of am
munition for which are now on the way
west. This will also be fired on the new
Indoor range, and the shells will be re
loaded with reloading tools sent by the
War Department for that purpose from
Washington.
With the two muskets the men will be
kept busy shooting indoors until June 1,
when they will be given further practice
at longer distances in the open air.
The object of It alt is to make belter
marksmen of the state troops, and the
adoption of the small. 2-caltber arm is
to afford a good deal of practice at small
cost, and to make practice feasible en in
door ranges, where short distances must
necessarily obtain. The handling and
sighting of the snaller weapos te tted-

"It Is a matter of surprise." said Adjutant-General
W. EL Finzer, "how little the
average man knows about firearms. A
majority of the men recruited for the Na
tional Guard have never used or shot
rifles before, and are Ignorant of their use.
"The principle of the Indoor range Is to
teach men how to handle rifles, to In

to improve marksmanship. Nowadays
there is not so much chance for young

Answers Suit for iraterials Bought.
A. K. Bentley, a contractor, who was
recently sued by O. E. Helntz. of the
Pacific Iron Works, for a balance of
about COCO alleged to be due for fence
material used In constructing Iron fences
at the Northern Pacific Terminal depot,
yesterday filed an answer In which he
sets up a counter claim of J1S20. Bentley
alleges that he entered into a contract
with the Terminal Company December 14,
1504. Tho company was erectlnc sheds
and the use of the fence was to keep the
passengers .out of the way. of which there
were about 400") dally, and prevent the
other construction work from being In
terfered with. Bentler says all of the
fence work should have been delivered
by February 8, and It was not all de
livered until May 9. or 91 days
thereafter. Because of the delay he avers
he was subject to a penalty of 520 a day

a Jury in Judge George's court yesterday
for selling a package of tobacco to
Arthur TulUson, a minor, 14 years old, on
October 11. Mr. Glblln came here from
Oklahoma In May last. He testified that

TELLS BY
THEIR SLEEP
"I can tell by my little
ones' sleep when a cold is
coming on" said a mother
when speaking of the advance
symptoms of colds in children.
" They toss about, are rest
less, their breathing is heavy
and there are symptoms of
night sweats. The next morn
ing I start with Scotfs Emul
sion. The chances are that
in a day or two they are all
over it. Their rest is again
peaceful and the breathing
normal."
Here's a suggestion for
all mothers. Scott's Emul
sion always has been almost
magical m its action when
used as the ounce of preven
tion. Nothing seems to ovei
come child weakness auiteso
effectively and quickly as
Scott's Emulsion.

Stomach.
A weak stomach is. most fre
quently caused by the over
worked and exhausted nervous
system.
The power that runs the
stomach is the nerve force sent
to it from the brain through
the nerves. When the nerves
are weak or exhausted the sup
ply of energy is insufficient
and the action of the stomach
is impaired, and results in im
perfect digestion dyspepsia.
Dr. Miles' Restorative Nerv
ine increases nerve force. It
strengthens and builds up nerve
tissue, gives vigor to the nerves
and muscles of the stomach;
this produces a healthy activity.
Nervine allays the inflamma
tion, heals the membranes, and
makes the stomach strong and
healthy. There is nothing that
so quickly gives energy to the
whole system as Restorative
Nervine.
"I can't say enough for Dr. Miles
Nervine: I don't know what it will
do for others, but it certainly cured me
of stomach trouble, and now I am as
well as I ever was. Two physicians
failed to relieve me. but in three or
four daya after takinsr Nervine I waa
much relieved. Four tootles mads ma
a sound man. at the cost of $4.00."
