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. M.-1J5 P.

Hill Military Academy Beats
West High, 5 to 4.
GAME HAS REAL. 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:

ABERDEEN' VS. MTLTXOMAH
Grays Harbor Football Team Coming
to Portland for Game.
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.

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.

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

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

asked by Assistant United States
Attorney Walter H. Evans. Miss
Bollman told of having received the com

that she had never seen Postmaster
