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.

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.
