HILLSBORO IS FIRST STOP School Children Interfiled In Dem onstration Train Exhibits Milk ing Machines Operated in Car Are Center of Attraction. PT C. H. WILLIAMS CARLTON. Or., Nov. 4. (Special.) More elaborate and complete than any other similar train ever run in this country, the Southern Pacific's farm ing rfemonvtration train attracted wide attention In the dairy sections of the Weot Side today. Judging- from the success of the first day of the lectures and demonstrations, the trip will be a S;reJt success. BIr- crowds a-reeted the train at every stop today. There was much Interest shown by the farmers and the good that will result from the trip cannot be overestimated. At Hillsboro, the first stop this morninr. there was a crowd of Sno people, mostly farmers, who were deeply interested in better agricultu ral methods. At Forest Grove there was a crowd of almost equal sixe when the train pulled in at 11:10 this morn ins. At North Yamhill, the schools were dismissed for the afternoon to irlve the children the practical Instruction offered by the Oreron Arrlealtural College on board the train. The various exhibits on board were viewed with a treat deal of Interest by the chlldr'.-n and all the various products on display were explained to them. The school children sang- "America" as the train pulled out. There was a larsre audi ence of farmers assembled at Carlton, where the demonstrations in the var ious agricultural, horticultural and dairying branches were conducted. Banner Dairy County. Pr. James AVIthycombe made a short talk to the assembled audience upon Hrrlval of the train at Hillsboro. the first stop. He explained to them the purpose of the Oregon Agricultural College and the Southern Pacific in running the train. It is appropriate." said Dr. W'lthy combe. "that the first stop should be In Washington County. This is the banner dairy county of the state. Lrfist year your county produced dairy products to the value of $1,000,000. Our dairy exhibit will show you the latest methods of dairying and demon strate how you can improve on what you have done in the past. Tour pro duct can be Increased and the value of the dairy output of the county ma terially enlarged during the coming years. "But theres one thing especially you should doln Washington County and that Is. raise more heifer calves. The net re turn from the dairy products of the average dairy cow in a year is $50. The life of the average cow Is ten years. Therefore, every cow you veal represents a loss to the county of $5.)0. Tou should select your best heifer calves and raise them, increasing your dairy herds." Today gave many of the farmers of Washington County their first sight of n milking machine. Such an apparatus has been installed In a freight car on the train and a demonstration of the milking machine is made at each stop, one of the two dairy cows being milked for the benefit of the farmers and dairymen at each station. The machine made a great hit and as the result of the visit of this train to this great dairy section, it is likely the labor saving apparatus will be Installed on many of the dairy ranches of Washing Ion and Tamhill counties. There are seven cars that make up the demonstration train. Three baggage cars have been filled with exhibits of agricul tural products and diagrams of farming methods, dairy apparatus and specimens of fruits and horticultural apparatus. Oregon Agricultural College professors are on duty at each exhibit to explain them fully and answer all questions that may be aked. The freight car that carries the two dairy cows Is fitted up with patent stalls. A gasoline engine in the car runs the air pump that compresses air to operate the mliking machine. The stalls are provided with patent stanchions and all conveni ences for modern and scientific dairying. An innovation that is regarded as a special convenience has been provided in an electric dynamo, run by a second gaso line ensine. that provides lights for the entire exhibit. The lights are needed even in sunlight, for the Interior of the bag gage cars Is dark. The whole exhibit has been most attractively arranged by the Agricultural College staff of instructors and the walls of the cars containing the exhibits are covered with cloth of the college colors. Packing Apples on Car. Not the least interesting of the demon strations carried on is that conducted by Professor C. A. Cole, who shows the fruitgrowers at the various stops how to pack fruit commercially. Apples are taken from the cars and packed by Pro fessor Cole to show Just how they should be prepared for market. Headed by Dr. James Withycombe, director of the Oregon Experiment Sta tion, the professors who are In charge of the exhibits and who conduct the various demonstrations are: Professor F. C. Kwing. eniomologist: Frofessor C. A. Cole. horticulturist: Professor C. I. Lewis, horticulturist; Professor H. D. Scuddcr. agronomist; Professor F. L. Kent, dairy husbandry: Professor R. W. Allen, assistant horticulturist, and Harry Anhahr. herdsman. Today s train is the fourth demonstra tion train to be operated by the Harrl uian lines In this slate." said R. B. Miller, grneral freight agent for the allied lines In the Pacific Northwest, who Is accompanying the train on Its eight-day tour of the Willamette Valley. Moist Complete Train Yet Ran. , "The Interest in the trains formerly run In the eastern part of the state and into Eastern Washington made us be lieve that something more complete was Justified. This is the biggest demonstra tion train, with more complete exhibits, than any ever run by any railroad in the country, so far as we have any record. There have been corn trains In the Middle West but this train comprises various agricultural, fruitgrowing and dairy ex hibit and instruction. It is not confined to any one product or industry, but com prises all that the average farmer Is in terested in. We expect our train will prove of great benefit to the people of the territory traversed." Stops scheduled for the demonstration train Thursday are: Newberg. 8:15-10:45 A. M.; McMinnville. 11:25 A.

CLASS Every Play Hotly Contested and Many Brilliant Ones Palled Off. Refcreeing Good Throughout. Ludlaiu 19 Particular Star. - BY W. J. PETRAI.V. The Hill Military Academy eadts won the premiership in the lnterscholastlc Football League by defeating the West Side High School eleven yesterday after noon in one of the closest and most ex citing football games ever witnessed on 'Multnomah field. The final score was 5 to 4: the cadets registering a touchdown for five points, while the best the High School boys could do was to score a goal from the field for four points. Never before on the famous gridiron has a contest between Junior teams displayed t rt t-.i -i t irrtnCTleriirA of the II1UI U viaoa nuu - " " - ' game than the exhibition put up by Hill and West Side yesterday. Throughout the contest were plays galore that would have done credit to otder and more experienced elevens. Ail oi wie stuica " i .u i . ,aif nf the f ii m p and the end of the second half witnessed numerous fumbles on the part of both teams, but as j thi defect was equally divided, it hardly had any bearing on the ultimate result. Hill Stronc on Defense. Hill Military Academy proved the stronger team on defense, though West Side displayed good work In the latter part of the game. The cadets won a de served victory. They have the stronger team of the two. The result of the game is a real demonstration of the respective merit of the contesting elevens. Three times during the game the High School lads threatened to score, but every time they were held at the critical mo ment by the cadets and forced to punt. The first time this occurred resulted In the goal from the field, for when Hill be came a stone waJi to the High School's advance In the first half. Quarterback Vosper signaled for a field-goal try. and his trusty foot sent the pigskin squarely between Hill's goal posts from the 40-yard line. It was an excellent kick, and the doughty little quarterback deserves espe cial mention for his feat, as It would have done credit to Bud James, Fred Moulien, Johnny Wolff, or Dudley Clark, the star kickers of the senior elevens of the North west. Whirlwind Plays at Start. This score was made after Hill had reg istered a touchdown :05:4B -after the com mencement of the game. The touchdown was the direct result of the overwhelming series of straight football plays put Into execution by Hill immediately after re ceiving the High School's klckoff. Hughes took Rader's klckoff on the fly and ran the ball back for material yard age, being downed by Ludlam after sev eral other High School players had missed him. Then the march commenced. With Donason. who Is a tower xf strength to the cadets. Ben Hill, the grittiest player on the victorious eleven. Captain W. Gra ham. Jamieson, Meier and Hughes carry ing the ball In whirlwind plays and for mations. Hill Academy advanced the ball down the field so rapidly that the High School lads were literally swept off their feet, so strong was the aggressive on slaught of the cadets. This splendid advance of Hill's even tually resulted -In Donason being hurled over the line for a touchdown, though be fore the score was made, the High School, with first down against them on their one-yard line, held Hill to two downs without fnaterlal gain. This was one of the most m.lgnlfi-ent defensive stands ever witnessed on .Multnomah field. Wtien the big fullback of the cadet team was finally sent over, the victors had really earned the score. Hughes failed to nego tiate the goal, and Hill had to be content with five points. Vosper Makes Field Goal. Shortly after this High School secured the bali In the center of the field, and advanced It to the Hill 40-yard line. At this point the cadets held strongly and forced a kick, whereupon Vosper hoisted the spheroid through the goal posts for a goal from the field. Pandemonium broke loose at this Juncture, for the High School rooters were In the majority and seemed determined to drown the shouts of the Hill admirers, who were out In force with their bugles. 'However, the rooters for the "crimson" squad failed to bring about another score and the first half ended at 5 to 4. which was also the final result. The second half was hard fought, and the High School boys had a shade the better of the argument in his half. De spite their fine work, however. Hill proved too strong on defense and succeeded in holding the opposing eleven wherever it became threatening. One little High School player is entitled to praise, for he easily outshone every player on the field. This gritty and heady little chap is Ludlam, left end of the High School team, who aeemed to possess the knack of being in Tne tikiil pia-n " - Ludlam participated in practically every play wherein Hill was stopped from mak ing yardage. In fact he was a host in himself, and it was he who often suc ceeded in tossing the plunging Donason after the latter had bowled over sundry High School players. Ludlam was the star of the game, and even though the result went against his team, it was through no fault of his that.t'ne West Side H'trh School was not the victor. Referee Hockenberry and Umpire Ftn negan were all that could be asked. . for their decisions were fair and Impartial and only prejudice can seek to blame them for the result. The strongest eleven was victorious and that ought to be satis factory. The teams lined up as follows: VV B High 4- Position. Hill Military 151. Lu'rilam L E. K Wursweller Rons L- T R ,.1"rl!

The Aberdeen Athletic Club football squad is scheduled to visit Portland next Saturday for the purpose of try ing conclusions with the footballlsts of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club. The Aberdeen organization, although comparatively a new club, has succeed ed in making quite a record for vic tories on the gridiron In the South western Washington territory, and will come to Portland full of confidence In their ability to give a good account of themselves against the winged "M." Captain Stott has ordered the Mult nomah squad Into extra practices since Its close call at the hands of The Dalles Athletic Club eleven last Saturday, and Intends to take no chances on a similar occurrence next Saturday. In practice the players are showing a great deal more interest, for they realize that the period when they will be called upon to meet the stronger teams is rapidly approaching, and it Is their Intention to get into the best possible shape for those games. While the Aberdeen Athletic Club eleven Is somewhat of an unknown quantity here at present, the club ex pects to have a contest that will prove an interesting one to the patrons. The Grays Harbor contingent is known to be composed of big men, and therefore should prove a strong foe on the grid iron. Whether the players have been coached in up-to-date football stunts remains to be seen. Aberdeen has been coached by several former University of Washington stars, some of whom are playing on the team. BEAVERS HOME FOR WINTER Casey, Johnson and Bassey Arrive in Portland From California. Pearl Casey, Ote Johnson and John Bassey, members of the Portland baseball team of the season Just concluded, ar rived home for the Winter yesterday. All three expressed themselves as delighted to reach Portland, and it is their inten tion to locate here during the Winter at least. They expect to play with Portland again next season. They bring the news that Manager Walter McCredle has gone to Chicago to confer with some of the players he has signed for next season, and also to be present at the meeting of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues which meets at New York .in a few weeks. Casey, Johnson and Bassey were on the team of Pacific Coast League players who played an exhibition game against Mlque Fisher's Reach Ail-American team previous to the sailing of that club for the Orient. The all-stars defeated the Fisher outfit by the score of 6 to 1, and the players were correspondingly elated over the result. Ballot Is Worse Than Chinese Puzzle Erection Judge at Woodstock Give l'p Attempt to Divine Intention of Voter, and Throw Ont Vote. THERE was not much chance -to go astray In casting ballots in the Presidential election Tuesday, yet there were a few who did not know how to vote. Some placed the marks before the names of the candidates for President and vice-President, but a ticket was voted at Woodstock that was a puzzle to the Judges and every one else. The voter made marks before the names of Taft and Sherman. He then placed marks before the four Democratic electors. Thinking that was not enough he placed marks be fore the names of the Socialist candi dates for President and Vice-President. The ballot, of course, was thrown out, but the election Judges pondered over the question of the state of the voter's mind and his politics. Hearing of Cashier Straus Be gun Before Commissioner. OTHERS ALSO HAD KEYS BILLIARDS. The Waldorf, Tta and Washington. Defense Says Straus Was Xot Only One Knowing Combination to Safe Examination Takes Time Hearing Goes Over. The hearing of Charles A. Straus, ex cashier of the Postofflce, who was ar rested, charged with embezzlement, was begun yesterday afternoon before United States Commissioner Cannon. On account of the lengthy examinations of the wit nesses the hearing was postponed until 11 o'clock this morning. Straus was repre sented by Attorneys Charles J. Schnabel and W. P. La Roche and it is evident from Attorney Schnabel's cross-examination, that a part of Straus' defense will be an attempt to show that the charges made against him wece part of a politi cal scheme to get him out of the financial depaVtment of the local office. Only two witnesses were heard during the examination yesterday afternoon. They were Postmaster John W. Minto and Miss Celia B. Bollman, who was as sistant to Straus. It was not until the cross-examination of Postmaster Minto by Attorney Schnabel that the proceed ings were enlivened. Postmaster Minto had testified on di rect examination that he had known Straus for about seven or eight years and said that he had always looked upon the defendant as a trusted employe. On cross-examination Mr. Minto denied there was any ill-feeling between Straus and himself, although it was manifested by Straus himself that there was. This cropped out when Attorney Schnabel asked Mr. Minto about placing Dr. J. J. Storey, of Washington, D. C, In the cashier's department. The at torney sought to bring out the fact that Postmaster Minto had tried to force Dr. It is your fault If your mouth resembles this In any way. This mouth.

Transfer of Dr. Storey Figures. Straus also broke Into the verbal war by saying: "Make him tell about it. meaning the letters which jmuttr Minto had received from the Department at Washington regarding the transfer or Dr. Storey from Washington to Portland. Straus' attorney also sought to show that Mr. Minto had been instrumental in hav ing Straus' salary increased last Janu ary when a number of clerks received an increase in salary. Mr. Minto emphati cally denied this and also denied that he had written to the Postofflce Department at Washington, recommending that Straus receive no increase. i It was brought out through Mr. Minto s testimony that Straus was not the only one who had combinations to the safes in the cashier's department. Mr. Minto said that he had the combinations to all of the safes In the building. He did not know whether Straus had given Miss Bollman the combination of the safe, but he said that he supposed that Straus had. because Miss, Bollman was able to get Into the strong box In Straus' absence. Others Know Combination. Schnabel seemed to lay some stress upon the fact that two men who acted as janitors had keys to the storeroom in the basement, where the stock was stored, and then tried to prove by the wit ness that one of 'the men was a close political friend of Mr. Minto's. It was evident from the cross-examination also that a part of the defense will be to divide responsibility. Miss Bollman was the second witness. Her direct testimony was largely con fined to Identifying the books of the cashier's department. To a question asked by Assistant United States Attorney Walter H. Evans. Miss Bollman told of having received the com bination of the safe from Straus and said that she had never seen Postmaster Minto, or his assistant, John J. ShlpTey, enter the safe In her department. Miss Bollman has been employed In the local Postofflce since 1900 and testified that she had charge of Straus work since lie left. April 17, 1908. She testified that m until Straus took a vacation on account of illness, she had made out the quar terly reports and had done the detail work of the department, but always a: the direction of Straus. Miss Koilman was still on the stand when adjournment was taken. 66ApoIlo 88-Note Player-Plaoo and seven other makes of player-pianos. For sale only byHovenden Soule Piano Co.
