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.

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

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.

GINSENG PAYS HERE
Roots Mature More Quickly in
Oregon Than in East.
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.

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.

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
