THE MORNING OliEGONIAN, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1910. 9 SPEED TEST WILL BE BIG FEATURE Auto and Aeroplane to Race at Coming Aviation Meet Here. HAMILTON IS CHALLENGER Portland Automobile Club Will Se lect Speedy Competitor Men "Will Begin Work of Pre paring Grounds Tomorrow. Attractive among1 the events promised for the Initial aviation meet In this city next week will be a four-mile race be tween either a biplane or a monoplane and an automobile. Charles K. Hamil ton, champion aviator, who has been se cured for the event, yesterday tele graphed the local committee that he would compete with any automobile In the four-mile course for the $100 cash prize that has been offered. Hamilton has the speed record for the fastest mile In aviation and it Is his boost that he can fly faster than an auto mobile can travel. He telegraphed yes terday that he was willing- to make the race, providing a purse would be put up to tempt a real automobile raoer to en ter the contest. The proposition was turned over to the Automobile Club and the governors of that Institution have promised to find the man who will make Hamilton think that he has taken on a big Job. Autoists Asked to Enter. The aviation committee of business men announced yesterday that they were ready to receive applications from autoists who were willing- to en ter into- a competition with the aero plane racer. Speed records for avia tion, where the miles are recorded, take place generally over the racetrack. The aviator ascends to a distance of BO feet directly over the track and proceeds to follow its course for the re quired distance. The speed record for an automobile for a mile Is a great deal (less than 1:11, Hamilton's record, but 'it Is doubtful if even 1:11 can be made 'by an automobile on the racetrack. Gangs of men will be set at work on the fair grounds on Monday morning to prepare the place for the aviators and their machines, and also to ar range for the handling of the crowds. It is necessary. In the work of aviation, to have what is called a start-away. This consists usually of 400 feet of hard-surfacing- of the earth, 15 feet in width. In some places this Is built !by using- pine boards and It is under stood that planks will be used in Port land. The sheds that will cover the fbl-plane will be erected during the week and it Is expected that every thing will be in readiness by Thursday or Friday. Where Tickets Are Sold.

Today a committee 'of prominent business men will visit the grounds where the meet will be held, for the purpose of seeing that adequate arrangements are made for the accommodation of the large number of spectators.

Burkhardt, with biplane made in Portalnd and EJ. P. Preble, with & new machine combining the features of the aeroplane and dirigi ble balloon. MRS. COX LAID TO REST Police Battalion, Officials and Other Friends Attend Services. The funeral of Mrs. Anna Cox, wife of A. M. Cox. Chief of Police, was con ducted yesterday forenoon in Woodmen's Hall on East Sixth street, between East Alder and East Washington, in the pres ence of about 10CO persons. Captains Bailey and Slover. with their reliefs, and Captain Baty, with officers of the day re lief, were present in full uniform, and the ushers were members of the police force. The casket, covered with lilies and carnations, rested in front of the plat form. On the paltform was a profusion of elaborate floral pieces from the police. Woodmen of the World and other friends. For Chief Cox and the bereaved family a screen had been placed at the left of the platform. The services, which were simple and brief, were conducted by Rev. F. D. Mar shall, assisted by Rev. W. F. Martin. Rev. Mr. Marshall delivered the funeral address. Her life, said the speaker, was devoted to the welfare of her children and to others, scarcely ever thinking of herself. Want or sickness or distress in her found a ready response and help ing hand. The police battalion then marched in front of the casket, followed by others who were present. Interment was In Rivervlew Cemetery. Mayor Simon, Auditor Barbur, Judge Bennett, members of the Council, and other city officers were among those who attended the services. STRANGENESS OF POLITICS Oregon Brand Contrasted With the English Kind. PORTLAND. Feb. 27. (To the Editor.) Politics make strange bedfellows. But there are politicians and politicians. One may lie down with some of them without a disinfectant, and one may feet with some ome others of them with "Mulligan board ers." Great politicians have comprehensive heads and their thoughts are not the thought of the roughnecks and "blather mouths." In England are two great political leaders. One of them. Herbert Henry As Qulth. Prime Minister and First Lord of the Treasury and leader of the Liberal party. 1b measuring his political wits with another, hla equal in statecraft. John Edward Red mond. M. P. for Waterford, and leader of the Irish party. Both maintain a self-con trol and wise sagacity, taught by long ex perlence, leet somebody be ditched. Were the points involved between these two men a matter of personal choice fostered by mutual admiration, perhaps nobody would be ditched. Twenty-two years ago Mr. As- quith and Mr. Redmond met under differ ent circumstances. Mr. Asqulth was then defending Mr. Redmond's chief, Charles S. Parnell, and his Irish associates in that famous action brought against the London Times for the publication of those well- known articles. "Pamelllsm and Crime," and Mr. Asquith's brilliant abilities as a lawyer played no little part In the vindication of Parnell. If Mr. Afiouith must be ditched he will understand without the aid of Billingsgate fish-market oratory. "And for why ?' as they say among the Bourne crowd. Some years ago Augustine Blrrell stated in PROMIEXT OREGOX PIOXEER LAID TO KKST TODAY. ; I j j I - : ' Dr. William McLean. The funeral of Dr. William Mc Lean, who died at his home, 212 Halsey street, Friday last, will be conducted from Scottish Rite Cathedral, Morrison and Lowns dale streets, today at 2:30 o'clock. Final services will be held at the Portland Crematorium on the Sellwood carline. Rev. J. D. Corby will officiate. Ir. McLean was born in Nantl coke, Ontario, Canada, in 1S53. He Joined the rush to California in 1876, and returned to Port land In 18S3, having fitted him self to follow the profession of a veterinarian. In 1S84 Dr. Mc Lean was appointed State Vet erinarian and continued in that position 14 years, retiring in 1908 because of 111 health. The deceased was Initiated by Harmony Lodge, No. 12, A. F. and A. M., and developed such an in terest in the teachings of Masonry that he received many honors at the hands of the various bodies to which he belonged. At the time of his death Dr. McLean had received the 32d degree in the Scottish rite and was a member of Al Kader Temple of the Mystlo Shrine. Dr. McLean is survived by his widow, four brothers, a sister, and his mother, Mary F. McLean, aged 78 and residing at Third and Mar ket streets. Portland. Ellis Mc Lean is the only other member of the family living in Portland. public addreBs that the first question a political aspirant of any worth in his coun try was asked Is: "Have you read your Edmund Burke?" an inquiry which does not happen to mean : "Have yes rayjistered a. a Remibllcan ?"' Coming: back to Oregon, one may Judf?e from some of the early speeches of the pioneer statesmen that these men had read and studied the past to a purpose. Judging from some of the written and spoken words of the improved" brand of statesmen here about today, some of them don't know an adverb from a Jackass. If they have ever g-iven any serious attention to the political development of their country, they must have left their thoughts at home for the children to play with. I fancy the test here today would work Itself out in this wis: Q. Who are the people? A. The people are a Joke. Q- Correot you are. Now what are the qualifications to enter the clan of Jonathan? A. A half bushel of lungs and the man ners of a bulldog. Q Correct again. Tou for the Legisla ture and the holy statement. Now what is the duty of a legislator? A To look wise and vote with the sheep noses. j. h. m. HOSPITAL HAS ROMANCE SUFFERING IS BOND OF SYM PATHY FOR PATIENTS. Red Roses Convey Silent, Tender Messages Every Day to Dainty Con va lescent. Commonly, there is little of romance about a hospital. But when two pa tients, who have never seen each other, spoken or even seen each other's pic tures "She" is a daintly little out-of-town miss; "he" Is a prominent Washington street clothing man. They both hap pen to be convalescing together at the hospital and when the nurse began, to tell the man of the girl's sufferings his sympathy was aroused. Next morning he sent her a gor geous red rose. And every other morn ing her nurse bore her at least a choice red rose and often other flowers from the man. But the red rose was always sent. Now sentimentalists attach a tender meaning to the red rose. Perhaps the man knew. Certainly the girl and the nurses knew, and when at last one nurse told the Portland man Just what the significance of the red rose was he asked for further particulars of the girl and sent more red roses. Now she has sent the message she will see him as sooa as they can lift her into a wheel chair. Portland Schools 50 Years Ago. PORTLAND. Feb. 26. (To the Editor.)

CROP IS OF GREAT VALUE Tsature of Soil and Location of Bed Do Not Matter and Roots Should Be Planted as Garden Truck Is, In Well Pulverized Soil. A few weeks ago A. L. 'Weatherford asked through the columns of The Ore gonian for Information concerning the growth of ginseng In Oregon. David Graham, who lives near Pros pect, In Jackson County, planted an eighth of an acre four years ago last Fall. The crop requires five years for development, but Mr. Graham found the roots crowding, and rather than transplant he thinned them and har vested 150 pounds. These roots were so near maturity that a Chicago dealer offered him about $7 a pound on the samples sent. Charles A. Kibbe has what he calls a "scientific intense culture ranch" near Salem. He started the culture of gin seng eight years ago at Buffalo, N. Y., and moved to Illinois later. A year ago he came to Oregon, with nearly $4000 worth of ginseng seed and root stock and in the paet season the in crease was phenomenal, being 50 per cent better than experienced In the East. He says, from observation at a small field near Monmouth, that the root develops in four years here as large as in six or seven in the East. The culture of ginseng at the present time is receiving much attention be cause there is a larger income from it than in any other product that can be raised. Eight hundred roots will grow on one square rod of ground, which makes 128,000 to the acre. Some growers claim as many as 160,000 and even more to the acre, but experience shows 128,000 to be about right. Set ting the roots six inches apart each way in rows, making due allowance for paths between the beds, an acre will be found to contain about 128,000 roots. George Stanton, a ginseng-grower of New Tork, made the following report to the Agricultural Department at Washington. In 1897. from 84 beds. 3x fit oarYi. 2270 roots, weight 128 2-16 pounds, were taKen; jruc taken out for roplantins. weight 29 15-10 pounds, leaving 96 rounds to be dried, which made 32 pounds flry. value 15. There were also 1503 seedling roots, weight 84 pounds. Had the en tire product of marketable roots from the l beds 3liO pounds been dried. It would have made 103 oounds drv. which would have sold for 1575.' This will do very well with AVi square rods of ground with five years cultivation. I do not need to add the value of the seed produced during cul tivation or the value of 4617 seedling roots. On account of the increased price. the above ginseng would now bring over $1000. One square rod of ground produces 800 roots, set six inches apart each way, allowing for walks between the beds. Estimating four roots to the pound (at the age of 5 years) gives 200 pounds: when dried, 66 pounds. At $8 per pound, it makes $528. While making the five years- growth, the roots would produce 200,000 seeds, or at present wholesale prices. $1500 worth of seeds- There is such little labor in growing ginseng that any farmer or gardener can raise it and not neglect any other part of his crop. The best way to start culture is to procure 2 and 3-year-old roots. Procure the 3-year-old roots if you can, also some 4 and 5-year-old, for these will produce a good crop of seeds the first season, usually paying for themselves. At least some roots should be procured by every beginner. Plant the bed wherever most suitable, for ginseng is not at all choicey in its soil, for it has been found growing on every variety of soil in the United States, and on all sides of the hills; suit your own convenience as to where to locate the bed. When a location is decided upon make it as rich as you would for your garden vegetables. Lay It off in beds from four feet wide with a narrow path one foot to two feet on each side. Those wider than this are hard to care for. owing to the distance being too great to reach easily in weed ing and gathering seeds. The beds, should be spaded to the depth- of not less than one foot deep and all the ground well pulverized; all stones, roots, etc., should be thrown out. OREGON MILLS RUSHED SIXTY-FIVE LUMBER PLANTS EXCEEDINGLY BUSY. VALE FINDS FAVOR therefrom, with land office located at I jeclion to interpose to the proposed Vale, and the department has no ob- b'll being enacted into law. Manufacturers Forced to Turn Or ders Over to Others Prospects for 1910 Boseate. Officers of the Oregon & Washing ton Lumber Manufacturers' Association report a careful canvass of the mills in Oregon shows that 65 mills, having an average cut of 40,000 feet, report having a'.i the r us. ness they can possibly han dle for the next 60 days. Thirty-six of these mills report a large volume of building in their districts and all con sider prosptcts exceedingly good for a record-breaking business for 1910. . A number of manufacturers find that they are unable, on account of the vol ume of business booked, to keep their promises as to shipping important Tush orders on specified dates. They have found it necessary, in many instances, to turn this business over to neighbor ing mills to keep faith with their cus tomers. Discussing the trade outlook in adjacent territory, officers of the Oregon and Washington Association, in a circular letter to the members of the organization, say: The outlook In the Inland Empire and California is excellent for th-e lumber busi ness, and although we fully realize that many interior mills, that are now shut down, will recommence operations as soon as the weather permits, creating additional cutting, wo have assurance through answers to inquiries that most of these mills have sufficient orders for railroad ties to keep them busy for 60 days from the time they commence operations so that no possibility exists of oversupply. We are also encouraged to believe that railroad requirements will occasion con tinued demands for th cut of the smaller interior mills, as well as for such portion of the cut of larger mills as care to un dertake thin claps of business.

Creation of New Land Office Is Explained. TOWN IS MOST ACCESSIBLE To Avoid 135-Mile Journey toy Wag. on From Nearest Railroad Point to Burns, New District Has Been Made; Vale Center. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Keb. 27. The House commit tee on public lands, in favorably re porting the Chamberlain-Ellis bill creating a new land district in South eastern Oregon, sets forth reasons why this additional district is needed, and why Vale is selected as the site for the proposed land office. The committee report says: The territory sought to be embraced with in the new district is about 11.800 'square miles, or about 7,500.000 acres, of which about 4.000,ooe acres is unappropriated pub lie lands. Nearly all of this Is taken from what Is known as the "Burns district," but there will remain in the Burns district an acreage of 8.600.000, of which about 6.000, 000 acres la unappropriated public lands. All the lands within the proposed new dis trict, except about 10 townships, are now subject to entry at Burns, a distance of 135 miles from the nearest railroad connec tion, necessitating that those who must ap pear before the Land Office travel by stage or private conveyance a distance of from 300 to 50O miles, causing loss of time, great hardship and expense. A number of irri gation enterprises are now being developed within the territory of the proposed dis trict that will greatly increase the volume of business, which Is now very large. Vale, the proposed site for the new office. Is the eounty seat of Malheur County, wltnln the bounds of which is comprised most of the territory and irrigation projects of the new district. Vale has railroad facil ities and other advantages tnat maite it much more accessible than Bums. It is the 'moat accessible point In the new dls-ti-it in order to accommodate the settlers and save them unnecessary hardship and expense, we believe tnis bin should De enacted into law. Embodied in the report is a letter from Secretary Balllnger recommend- ng the district, and adding: The creation of the proposed district would, to a large extent, relieve the set tlers in the eastern part of tne eaistrici. from traveling long distances by wagon road because or the proximity or. in tne western part of Idaho, the Idaho Northern and Oregon Short I.lne Railways. While the location of tne bans orrice ror tne pro Dosed land district is at Vale, in the north eastern part thereof, it has railroad con nection and is on the lines of two military waon roads traversing the northern and western parts of the district. Ajiother wagon road of the same character traverses the southern part of the proposed district from east to west, which affords the set tlers in that locality a convenient method of travel to the near-by railways in West ern Idaho, above referred to. rruring the nscal year ended June 30. lmyz. 1292 entries of public lands, covering 818.- 087 acres, were made In the Burns Land Office, with receipts of 35.t and ex penses of S7592. $6000 of which expense was paid to the register and receiver as their compensation. The total fees and commissions earn were flLOOT. $5007 of which represents the excess after the pay ment of the compensation of the register and receiver. From the isolated location of the Burns land office, the difficulty experi enced by settlers in visiting it, and the great extent and territory covered by i:ie present Burns district, it is con sidered that the Interests of the set tlers would be subserved by the crea tion of an additional land -district IN..
