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."

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.

firm of Moser & McCue and by Seneca

It is to be prosecuted by his daughter,

The proposed sewer was to have
been built by the' proprietors of the
Alameda Park tract, but It Is being
contended that the company has no
right to construct a sewer, unless in
accordance with a legal contract
granted by the city. It is also con
tended that the people in Alameda
Park should be, required, in case the
sewer is built, 'to pay a part of .the

i HARMON STRONG IN OHIO
MORRIS ASKS FOR REHEARING
Convicted Cashier Says Prosecution
Guilty or Misconduct.
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.

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."
