10 rnE SUNT) AT OEEGOIflAX PORTLAND, JUNE . 26, 1910. 'f- WESTL0QMSB1GIN EASTERNER'S WES Millions of Farmers, if They $ Knew It, Would Profit by j! Making' Change. COUNTRY STILL IN DARK I (Returns Shown on Lands Justify I f T an T t-. 1 -w -w ' Opinion of President of V Farmers' Association. - "It seems to me that the cream of the country has come" to the Pacific Coast to live," said R. 'It." Carr, presi dent of the National Farmers'. Associa tion of Chicago. Mr. Carr has traveled from Southern. California : to "Northern Oregon, has stopped at various .places to study the" country and has formed the opinion that- not only Is the , Far "West the greatest agricultural section of the United States, .but also. that it contains the best people above ground. "I left Chicago a nervous wreck a few months ago' said Mr. Carr, "on the theory that a change of , scene might do me some - good. I have ex perienced a complete recovery, and It has been because .. I have . been so wrapped up In enjoyment of this won derful Western country that I have lorgotten altogether about being ill.'--1 really am so enraptured with the Pa cific Coast that I am at a loss to find words with which to describe it to my friends in the East. East Deeply Ignorant. "It Is surprising how ignorant the people of the East, and even the Mid dle West, are regarding .the Pacific Coast. A barber in New V York City once asked me if we had much trouble with the Indians in Chicago. I an swered in the affirmative, saying that the wooden Indians in front of the cigar stores became so much of a nuis ance that the city authorities were forced to drive them out of town.' That la about the attitude of Chicago people jrenerally toward this Western coun try. "I went to California first. In the Sacramento Valley there is a great deal of good land when it gets the water. This is an essential factor there, how ever, for without irrigation the land would be worth little. "Coming from California Into Oregon en the train was a trip of wonders for me. It seemed to me as I neared the Oregon line as if the nature of the country changed gradually. It may have been imagination, but I couldn't help feeling that there was a change in climate as well after we crossed the state line. There 'was, apparently, more rain than before arriving In Ore gon and ' I believe that this has much to do with the wonderful resources of the state. "After the Siskiyou Mountains were crossed, we entered that heavenly val ley of the Rogue River, where every rlace seems to be extending its lnvita ion to the weary-traveler to stop and rest. Cherry Takes 'Two Bites. "I stopped at Ashland, spending a flay and night there. This is a pros perous little town, which is bound to be heard from in the future. Then "I went to Medford, 'staying a . couple of flays there.- I saw the greater part of that section and was greatly Impressed with it. The prices fojr fruit lands are pretty high in some instances, but there Is no doubt that the returns on the in vestment Justify" 'a goodly initial ex penditure. ' , "At Roseburg I also spent a day and a night, and saw "the famous apple, pear, peach and cherry orchards. These far and away exceeded my most san guine expectations. In ' reality the iherries here are so large that two bites are necessary to eat one. "General farming conditions in this section seem to be unusually prosper ous. I saw corn which swill average 75 bushels to the acre, and oats and cither small grain relatively prolific. "All in all, I believe that the Ore gon country has wonderful possibili ties. There are millions of farmers in the Hast and Middle West who, if they but knew it," could move with great advantage to Oregon. f All of these farmers have families boys and girls k growing up, and the, time will come when something will have to be done for the children. Let them come to Oregon that's my advise. "I am surprised at the excellent ur Tian and suburban schools of the West, ffhe little country schoolhouses of Ore gon are palaces compared with those to be- found 'In tie Bast and Middle rWest. This is-a -factor which should appeal to every Eastern farmer." .KELLYS GATHER AGAIN DrVVEXFTH'AXXtTAIj RECNIOV OF CliAJV IS HELD.

HOM IS CROWDED Juvenile Court Unable to Place Feeble Minded AMENDMENT IS PROPOSED Movement Begun to Ask Legislator to Exclude Epileptics ' From In , 6titutlon, Thus Providing Room for - Others. At the next session of the Legislature, a plea will be made by the officers of the Juvenile Court to have the law gov erning the school for the feeble-minded amended so as to prevent epileptics from being admitted to the school, thereby making more room for the feeble minded children for whom thf home was in tended. . . By including the phrase "and for epilep tics," the present law gave the Insane asylum the privilege of sending persons afflicted with epilepsy, who were inmates of that institution, to the school for the feebleminded. When the school was opened last year, there were sent from the asylum over 60 epileptics, most of whom were old. and today the school is full, and the children who are really in need of the training given there are crowded out. One of the recent cases of this kind was that of Mollie Rothsteln, a feeble minded girl, who was found on Arthur street yesterday and brought in and ar raigned before the officers of the Juve nile Court. Mollie is mentally incapable of caring for herself and is in need of the restrictions of the school and the training she would receive there. She is to be turned over to the County Judge to be committed to the school, but on ac count of that institution being crowded and unable to receive her, she is still in the custody' of the Juvenile Court and at present it is indefinite when the offi cers will pe able to establish, her in the home. ' In the meantime Mollie will have to be placed In the detention home, but on ac count of her being incorrigible it. is neces sary to keep her from other children in the home, which causes considerable annoyance and trouble. This is only one of many cases where feeble-minded children need to be placed in an institution where they can be cared for properly and receive the training and education which it la possible for them to acquire. One of the purposes of the school is to teach the feeble-minded children domestic science, music and other arts, and some of them even develop talents along the different lines," In spite of their general, mental condition.

Judge Gantenbein, of the Circuit Court, spent yesterday morning in hear ing the application of W. Cooper Morris, who was convicted recently of embezzling notes representing $75,000, which were put into the capital stock of the Oregon Trust and Savings Bank, for a rehearing of his case. At the close of the arguments Judge Ganten bein announced that he would render his decision Tuesday morning at 9:80 o'clock. The application for a new trial waa based on the allegation that tne Judge. In hearing the case, had refused to In struct the Jury not to read the news papers, and that the court and the prosecuting attorneys' had been guilty of m'sconduct in hearing, when the at torneys for the defense were' not pres ent, the charge made by H. M. Barton, one of the Jurors, that an attempt bad been made to bribe, him. Judge M. J. Gordon of Tacoma, who, with Alex Sweek and Seneca Forts, Is serving as attorney for Morris, made the plea for the latter. A. E. Clark and Assistant District Attorney Flta gerald were present to represent the state. v STATE OTHERWISE REPUBLI CAN, SAYS BUCKEYE VISITOR. ' .' . L Not Even Roosevelt Himself Could Stem Tide, Though Reason ' for Popularity Is Not Clear. "Even Colonel Roosevelt himself could not prevent the election of Jud son Harmon as Governor of Ohio," said R. S. Green, of Cleveland, last night at the Portland Hotel. "With the excep tion of Harmon the state will go Re publican. There is no chance for Dem ocrats in any other quarter. "When the fight came up between Harmon and ex-Governor Harris, it was really a contest between the 'wets" and 'drys,' and Harmon, representing the 'wets.' won. And he will win again. The controversy over the Paul Morton affair, when Harmon, as spe cial counsel for the United States Attorney-General, wanted to prosecute the then Secretary of the Navy in President RooseveVt's Cabinet for re bating while ' vice-president of the Santa Fe Railroad, gave Harmon a lot of notoriety in Ohio. It brought him to the front as a great public bene factor, although he resigned when Attorney-General Moody disagreed with him. However, I fall to see what Har mon has accomplished since he has been Governor. He has raised a big fuss among state officials by demand ing investigations which have devel oped nothing, but there is a strong sentiment in his favor that cannot be overcome between now and election. , "Frederick Kohler is the best chief of police Cleveland ever had. He Is a Republican, but was a Tom Johnson man and when the Republicans wrested the administration from Johnson they naturally ' wanted to - oust Kohler. Aside from this, Kohler . broke up all the police graft in Cleveland. Officers there are now working for nothing but their salaries. The vindication of Kohler, I believe, meets with hearty approval and shows that the civil service commission that conducted the investigation of the charges la 'on the square.' "Nick Longworth is a quiet person age In Ohio. He attends strictly to business .in his own district. "Senator Foraker is not saying: ft. word to anybody. He is content to stay at home and keep stllL ' "I do not know who the Republicans can put up against Harmon. . There has been some talk of running Longworth. against him, but he can not defeat Harmon, .even with the assistance of his wife and Roosevelt himself."

Summer vacation for the Circuit Court will begin next week, and from July 8 to September 7 there will be no cases tried in any of the departments.
