them. He said he would.
They were busy looking- at the cu

Count's hands. He did not think to
examine it to see If it -was loaded.
"Now. let's sit down and talk it
over quietly." he said. Morgan was
afraid If he started to leave he would
be accused of burglary. So he sat In
the room all night holding the big re

the police, and detectives captured the
couple last night. The Countess re
turned the $115. and the' Count and
Countess agreed to leave for Des

could not stay to prosecute them.

WKLLSDALE, Or, Nov. 6. (Special.)
"Book farmers" from the Oregon Ag
ricultural Colleso on board the South
ern Pacific's farming demonstration
train met with their biggest reception
at Dallas today. Over 1000 people In
spected the exhibits and listened to the
lectures during the two-hour stay there.
There was much interest shown and the
educational value of the train was never
better illustrated
Today s trip of the train was mostly
through Polk County, the leading hop
section of the state, but it is also wide
ly known for its goats, sheep and cat

most prominent industries, and dairying
Is constantly gaining ground. Farmers
received information of great value to
them in all .these subjects from the
demonstrators on board the special.
Big Crowd at Independence.
Sheridan was the first st jp today and
Interested farmers formed the audience
on hand to greet the train. Dallas was
the lunch stop, and Independence re
ceived the college farmers at 1:50 this
afternoon. There was a big crowd at
Independence, a great hop center, and
farmers who Inspected the train were
outspoken In their praise of the scope
of the work undertaken by the South
ern Pacific in connection with the O. A.
C. Wellsdale. the last stop today, was
the scene of valuable demonstrations to
good crowds.
"I have learned more In the last hour
on this train than during the whole of
the past twenty years,'" declared one
farmer after viewing everything on
board and having it explained to him.
Others told of the value of the demon
strations to them.
R. B. Miller, head of the Southern
Pacific traffic department in this state,
left the train this morning at McMinn
ville to return to Portland to attend
the celebration attendant upon the
opening of the North Bank road. Will

Pacific passenger department In this
territory, accompanied him. A. A.

World's Greatest Aralley.
In talking today, Dr. James Withy
combe, head of the Oregon Agricultural
College staff, and In charge of the dem
onstrations and exhibits, said:
'"The Willamette Valley is the great
est valley in the world, considered ag
riculturally It has a tillable area of
6.000.000 acres. Only 1.000.000 acres, or
20 per cent,. Is now being farmed. This
Valley will support a population of
2.000,000 people. There is not an acre
but will produce products to the value
of $100 a year. When properly culti
vated, the annual return from the ag
ricultural products of the Valley will be
not less thnn $200,000,000 a year.
"The climate and soil of the Willam
ette Valley are practically identical
with those of the Isle of Jersey. The
latter supports a very dense popula
tion, and this is brought about by di
versified farming and modern methods."
Cows Star Performers.
The ' star performers on board the
train are two milch cows, both regis
tered animals and the property of the
Oregon Agricultural College farm. One
is milked by the milking machine at
every stop, and this demonstration
never fails to attract great attention.
One of the cows is an Ayrshire, I.ady
King, and the other is a Jersey, Clara
Eva. Both are registered animals and
the dairymen and farmers who throng
the car to look them over are not slow
to pick out their good points. A farmer
at b.ieriaan toaay wanten to purcnase
one of the cows for his own herd. Lady
King produced 644 pounds of butter last
year, and the Jersey, a three-year-old.
gave over 400 pounds.
This will be one or the most substan
tial benefits to follow the trip of the
demonstration train. Farmers and
dairymen will be shown the best types
of cattle to raise for any specific pur
pose. Special attention is being given
the dairying Industry and the suitabil
ity of the dual-purpose oow is scouted
by the professors In charge of the dairy
exhlblt. They Induce farmers and
dairymen to secure strictly dairy cattle
and give up the Idea of trying to raise
stock that will be good for both dairy
ing and beef.
Better stock and better results will
be secured in this way. the farmers are
being told, and they are adopting this
suggestion. Thia trip of the Southern
Pacific's demonstration train will result
In great improvement to the Valley
dairy herds, and this will be one of its
most permanent and substantial bene
fits. SEEK WATER CONTRACTS

at a rate not in excess of that now paid
the present water company.
The proposed new municipal gravity
water system, the water for which will
be brought from springs at the source of
the Lewis River, 23 miles distant, will
cost $327,628, according to the hydraulic

ham. To raise this amount of money
water bonds would have to be sold, as
the city could not legally bond Itself for
that sum. In the case of the water bonds
the only security the purchaser of the
bonds would have would be the revenue
from the system, and it is with a view to
finding out what revenue or returns from
the system could positively be depended
upon that the canvass for water contracts
with the municipality will be made.

great that the people seized coal be

of the people at Vale appealed to the
Railroad Commission and in response
Commissioner Aitchlson wired Mr. Wil

Buffering.

We are doing everything we can to hurry

Canadian Pacific Completes Survey
for Proposed Extension.
VANCOUVER, B. C, Nov. 6. The Ca

ing a Canadian Pacific Railway short

Whether the Canadian Pacific Railway
pr the Great Northern will be the first

The roads have started at opposite ends,
the Canadian Pacific Railway from the
west at Spence's Bridge and the Great
Northern from Midway on the east, and
both are surveying and building a little
mnro all the time.
The survey just completed was car
ried out by H. E. Carry, of the Canadian
Pacific engineering staff in Vancouver.
He started In April and has Just returned
to Vancouver. The line traverses 160 miles
in running between Nicola and Penticton,
where excellent grades were obtained.
The route lies through the Blmilkameen
Valley and Into the Okanogan, where it
skirts the town of 9ummerland, en route
to Penticton. The results of the surveys
with field notes are now being trans
mitted to headquarters and it Is expected
that the work will be started next Sum

No case of contagious blood poison Is ever cured until the last particle
of the virus has been removed from the circulation. The least taint left in
the blood will sooner or later, cause a fresh outbreak of the trouble, with all
its hideous and destructive symptoms of ulcerated mouth and throat, copper
colored splotches, falling hair, sores and ulcers, etc No other medicine so
surely cures contagious blood poison as S. S. S. It goes down into the
blood and steadily and surely drives out every particle of the infection. It
absolutely and perfectly purifies the blood, and leaves this vital fluid as fresh,
rich and healthy as it was before the destructive virus of contagious blood
poison entered the circulation. S. S. S. quickly takes effect on the blood,
and gradually the symptoms disappear, the health is improved, the skin
cleared of all spots, sores and other blemishes, the hair stops coming out,
the mouth, and throat heal and when S. S. S. has cleansed the system of the
poison no trace of the disease is left S. S. S. cures contagious blood poison
because it is the greatest of all blood purifiers, tested and proven for more
than forty years. Book on this disease with suggestions for home treatment,
and any medical advice sent free to all who write.
