SALEM FIGHT OPENS
Plea of Abatement Filed in
Spencer-Barnes Case.
HARRIMAN DEAL RECALLED
Publisher of Capital Newspaper Said
to Hare Acted as Iate Railroad
Wlwird's Agent Partner
Sues for Profit-
SALEM, Or- Deo. 11. (Special.) A
plea of abatementi Ik&s been filed in
Circuit Court In the action brought by
A. B. Spencer, of Los Angeles, against
Legene S. Barnes, proprietor of the
Dally Capital Journal.
The action was brought on a Judg
ment for $71.6:5 given in the lower
court in Los Angeles County. Cal., and
transferred to the court here.
The plea of abatement recites that
the case is still pending in California,
that a motion has been made for a new
trial and that so far the court has not
given its decision on this point. Furth
er statutory points as to the time when
a trial Is still considered pending in
the California courts are also raised In
the plea.
Property Sold to Harrtman.-
The Judgment in this case was
brought up from the California courts.
According to the facts reported from
California Spencer brought suit against
Barnes for profits accruing from the
sale of mining properties to E. H. Har
riman. In the decision of tbe court it was
set forth that In 1907 Messrs. Spencer
and Barnes formed a partnership and
obtained options on the Dofflemeyer,
Brown, Stephens and Parke iron- min
ing claims In the Kagle Mountain dis
trict. Riverside County. Cal., under an
agreement that they split any profit
that they might realize from the sale
of the options.
Mr. Barnes, prexent defendant in the
suit in the Circuit Court of Marlon
County, Or., went to New York and in
terested the late Mr. Harrlman and
Julius Kruttschnitt. his chief friend
and aid. In tbe mining properties. A
deal was put through, it Is said,
whereby Mr. Barnes was to secure the
properties outright for Mr. Harrlman
and the Iron Chief Mining Company
was organized..
Baraea Become Agent.
Mr. Barnes, it is said, became the
agent ot Mr. Harrlman and in so doing
received J 100.000 from the railroad
magnate and in addition 1000 a month
while the purchase of the claims was
being negotiated. Following the sale.
It was stated in the courts, that he re
fused to recognise the claim of Mr.
Spencer for a division of the profits
made on the deal, it being asserted by
Barnes that the agreement with Spen
cer covered merely a possible sale of
the options and not tbe property It
self. The suit was brought In the Cali
fornia courts and resulted in the judg
ment against Barnes, which lias been
appealed to the Circuit Court of Ma
rion County, Oregon.

AID IS NEEDED FOR RIVER
People Must Give Money If Willam
ette Is to Be Improved.
SALEM, Or.. Dec! ' 11. (Special.)
Practically giving warning that unless
the people of the Willamette Valley co
operate with the Government in rais
ing funds that he will make an un
favorable report on tile project of a
six-foot channel from Oregon City to
Eugene. Major Mclndoe, of the United
States Army Engineers of Portland,
laid the plans for the scheme before an
open river conference at the Salem
Board of Trade rooms today.
Present at the conference were In
terested men from Portland and many
partB of the Valley.
A proposition for arousing enthusi
asm in the plan and to place it on a
concrete working basis was outlined.
J. W. Morgan, of Corvallis. was made
chairman of a general committee, and
it Is the idea to appoint a member of
the committee from each Commercial
Club and Board of Trade in the valley.
Major Mclndoe said 39 dams and
locks will be required between Ore
gon City and Eugene to bring about
the successful sixTfoot channel that Is
needed. He showed that there Is an
average drop of five feet to the mile
n Corvallis while
the drop between that point and Ore
gon citv is sonic v Hat ir?.

Ration for One Hen for Tear tilven
on Which She Should Produce
200 Eggs a Year, If of Good
Laying: StockStudents 00.
OREGON" AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis, Dee. 11. (Special.)
Interest in the work of farmers' week
at Oregon Agricultural College was in
creased yetserday by the enrollment of
more than 100 new "students'" andthls
morning they continued to come. ATany
have timed their arrival according to
some feature of the work in which they
are particularly interested the lec-.
tures being so arranged as to make it
convenient for those who cannot pass
the entire week here to get the in
struction offered In certain subjects by
a stay of one or two days.
A conservative estimate now places
the number of Oregonians who will
avail themselves of a part at least of
the free instruction offered this week
at 600.
A glance at the registration cards
shows that the students now enrolled
fqr the work of farmers' week not only
come from Oregon, but from Texas,
California, New York and Vermont.
Poultry Claaaea Popular.
The poultry classes stll hold their
popularity and last night the big cir
cus tent was crowded with students,
who saw the' moving-picture demon
stration which has brought so much
popularity to Professor Dryden's poul
try lessons. One feature of the poul
try demonstration was a ration worked
out by the poultry husbandry depart
ment as especially adapted to high egg
production.
This ration, which has been in use
for a number of months at the college
poultry farm, consists of 30 pounds "
wheat. 10 pounds of bran, 10 pounds of
oats. 5 pounds of middlings. 5 pounds
linseed meal, 5 pounds whole corn, S
pounds ground corn. 5 pounds beef
scraps. 2 pounds charcoal. 4 pounds
grit and ground shells. 4 oirnces of salt
and 20 pounds of kale. This is suffi
cient quantity for one hen for one
year and if she is of good laying stock
she will, during the year, produce 200
eggs on this ration.
"If linseed meal or whole corn for
any reason are difficult to obtain," said
Professor Dryden in explaining the for
mula, "either or both may be omitted
and good results still be obtained."
Practical Aid Promlaed.
To the students taking work in the
farm mechanics department the lecture
of Professor Powers on "Modern Farm
Buildings" was particularly valuable.
Not only did the professor show views
of ideal farm buildings, but stated to
those in attendance that the college
will soon be in position to provide the
farmers of Ore-on with plans and spe
cifications for the construction of such
buildings. This promise of practical
aid for the farmers who expect to'
make such improvements met with en
thusiastic approval. The plans anu
views shown by Professor Powers dur
ing the course of his lecture represent
ed many farm buildings now in use at
the college or experiment stations.
Among . the structures shown were
model farm houses, bungalows, barns,
toolhouses and the septic tank, which
is now becoming generally recognized
as a necessity on every farm. Plans
for individual hoghouses costing SS for
material and labor and for the 3350
consolidated hoghouse on the college
stock farm were thrown on the screen.
Professor Powers promised the as
sistance of the college authorities to
any of the farmers who were interest
ed in constructing any of the buildings
described in his lecture.
