MUST KEEP JJPJ) AIRY HERD T. Sehulmertcn Admonishes Hllls boro Farmers to Look to Future. HILLSRORO. Or.. Oct. 1. (Special.) . William Sehulmerioh'. the Farming ton dairyman, today sounded a note of warning to Washington County dairy men In an address under the auspices cf the Fair committee. Mr. Schulraerich took high ground In his statement en that touches heavily upon dairy results of the future for this section. H said: If Waatnrtfm County se.ps well In the lead ta the dairy trt.reits hr farmers and dalrrmaa mart r1sht-atwut-fare and giva ertoue eoes'd.ration to the question i-t mipe-j of taair ntrda. Siace the las big condensers opened for bualnens the herds of milking co. a have not been Increased as they ahould. Milk has been sold to the oondenwrs with no thought of the future as to keeping up the numerical consideration. The h.ads of herds are getting too old for profitable milking, and the new additions are not sufficiently numerous to keep swell ing the output. It will aoon become necessary. , unless there Is more breeding and raising heifers of good strains, for our dairymen to Import dairy cows at least 10 head each year. This la a matter of vital Importance to dairvmen. We can raie our'.ock Just as cheaply ss we can import them- It will mean a slightly smaller paycheck for each month ortll the young stock grows, but we must either stand this or pay big prices for stock from the outside. The dairyman who today wishes to In cresse his herd of milkers flnds that he must pav big pricea for good rows. Those who hsve extra line strains w!!l not sell at all. ss they wish to stay In the business, whlie rhesper stock, bred out of. and bred to. In ferior sires, are not worth their cost, let alone the louse, that must come from feed ing high-priced mill feeds, and attendant poor returns at the milking stool. Scrub cows will require more feed thsn good cows, as a rule. It Is a serious question, and must either raise our additions to our herds or Import from other sections at the ruling high prices for profitable dairy com s. The second day of the Third Annual Fair opened this mornsng with exhibits of all kinds much increased. The poul try display is the finest ever seen on the West Side. Large additions were made to the vegetable and orchard ex hibits. The Fair continues until Sat urday night. The attendance today was at the 5000 mark. ABANDON KELTCN VICTIM SHIPOWNERS - REFUSE AID TO MEMBER OF CREW. Andrew Jensen, Bedfast and Help less, lft to Fight Hopeless Struggle for Life. NEWPORT. Or., Oct 1. (Special.) The only survivor of the 11 men washed off the deck of the unfortunate steamer Kelton the first of last May has aDDarently been abandoned by the captain of the Kelton and the officials of the company. After five months of continual suffering from his injuries Andrew Jensen, who managed after 16 hours of buffeting with the waves of the open sea to make shore 15 miles from where he first was washed over board. Is now on his back and in need of hospital treatment Repeated appeals to the Tillamook Navigation Company and to the Marine Hospital authorities have been of no avail. No money has been forthcoming for his needs and not a cent has been forwarded to those who have nursed him during his sickness. Jensen Is now at the home of Dr. II. J. Mlnthorn In this city. lr. Mlnthorn reports him In Immediate need of hospital treat ment, as his wounds refuse to heal and he Is still confined to his bed. When the Minnie E. Kelton was struck by a heavy sea off this coast in May and 11 men were washed off her decks. Jensen, wltn two others, managed to keep afloat on wreckage until they reached shore Just south of the Siletx Kivr. Here the terrific surf quickly killed Jensen's com panions and Injured him terribly. He managed to crawl out of reach of the waves and was found the next morn ing by the daughter of Andrew Wlsnlcwskl. He was removed to Wlsnlewski-s house, where the rest of the crew were taken by the life savers. Two days later Captain McKenna took the survivors of his crew to Astoria and left Jensen to be cared for by the settlers till he was able to travel. It was rot till July that Dr. Mlnthorn was able to bring him down to Newport, and here he has been ever since and will be until death relieves his suffer ings or some provision Is made by the owners cf the Kelton. Wlsniewskl has not received a cent's recompense for taking care of Jensen, nor has any payment been made Dr. Mlnthorn or anybody else. Jensen Is being well looked after, but, according to the physician's re port, immediate measures must be taken to, get him Into a hospital In order to save his Injured limb and pos sibly his life. Wonder Is expressed that the owners of the Kelton do not respond to the statements made on Jensen's behalf, and that no notice has been taken of the matter in any way. Grants Wells-Fargo Injunction.

INSIST ON HEARING Commissioners Refuse to Dis miss Wells-Fargo Case. RATES TOO HIGH IS CHARGE Express Company Asks Complaint Bo Dismissed Because. Charges Not Confined to Specific Rates. Hearing Date Xot Yet Set. SALEM. Or.. Oct. 3. (Special.) A few days ago B. F. Jones, of Independence, filed with the Railroad Commission a gen eral complaint alleging that the rates charged by the Wells-Fargo Express Com pany are excessive and unreasonable, and asking that the Commission conduct a hearing for the purpose of determining the reasonableness of the charges. Today the Wells-Kargo Company filed a reply, set ting forth that it has 7381 different gen eral merchandise rates in Oregon, 73S1 general-special rates and a sufficient number of extra special rates to bring the total up to 20.000. It argues, therefore, that a complaint against It should point out the particular rates which are deemed excessive so that the company may pre pare its defense and present evidence to support its existing rates. Because the complaint filed by Mr. Jones is general and attacks all rates, the company asks that his complaint be dismissed. The Commission will not regard this as a sufficient answer and will set a date for hearing on the Jones complaint. This means that the whole subject of express rates in Oregon will be Investi gated and that a ruling will be made by the Railroad Commission. Several months ago the Commission gathered statistics on its own motion, showing how express rates In this state compare with rates In other parts of the country. The figures seemed to show that rates are excesses In Oregon and unless the company can show a reason why rates should be higher here than In other states, there is a very strong probability that a reduction will be ordered. No date for the hearing has been fixed. ALUMNI TO JJAVE ELEVEN Oldtime Stars Will Play Game With Varsity Eleven, October 11. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Or.. Oct. 1. (Special.)
