NEW ZEALAND VOTES "DRY" ProlUbitlol.u Vm American Ex perience for campaign Argument. WELLINGTON. New Zealand. March I. Special. I New Zealand has passed through the hottest cumpalKn of Its his tory to decide whether Its policy should be "wet" or "dry." The results are re markable. The prohibition advocates drew extensively on American experi ence for their arguments. For years the local no-license vote has sdvanced by leaps and bounds, but this time there was lltUe progress In that direction. The reason would seem to be that now the voters have greater powers to shackle the trade as a whole . , ......v.1. 1M ahntit the local prohibition. In 60 out of the 74 electorates national prohibition won: yet on the whole voting there was a majority oi vw . . whereas at the previous fight there was a majority of 33.000 against them. Not a single "dry" district was added, but the voting was so close la half a doxen eleetorates that 300 prohibition votes spread over thera would have turned them 'dry." In the aggregate voting there are some apparent incon sistencies, for while :.ii: voted for local -met" conditions, only 203.000 voted against National prohibition. Kvery olstrlct. including lour large towns, that had tried a "dry" policy, except one. stuck to it with a large majority, in evidence of satisfaction with the results. The National vote shows a percent sge of over J for prohibition, which hss delighted the antl-saloou leaders.

Experiment, Arranged by Repre sentative Ilawley, Will Be to Se cure Grain Adapted to Soil. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. March 3. In the hope of de veloping a species or corn that will de velop rapidly and give a heavy yield, the Department of Agriculture, through arrangements made by Representative Hawley. will place with 100 or more farmers in various parts of Oregon seed corn for experimental planting and cultivation this coming season. For several years Mr. Hawley has been urging he Department to find a corn suited to the climatic and soil conditions of Oregon, the two essentials being a short season and a heavy yield. After extensive Investigations the De partment has procured samples of sev eral species which it lieves may suc ceed In Oregon. This cannot be deter mined without experiment, however, and Mr. Hawley has furnished the De partment with a long list of names of farmers who are willing to experiment with these various samples to determine whether or not they are adapted to cul tivation in Oregon. Th. farmers to whom this corn is furnished have agreed to cultivate it in accordance with the instructions of tho Depart ment. The experiments will be made In various parts of the state, and as a re sult of the next Summer's experlment ng It Is noped that several varieties may be determined upon as suited to the needs of Oregon farmers. The tests, at any rate, will ueterniine which of the varieties in question will mature In Oregon and produce heavy yields, and in future corn of those varieties may be planted with rea-onable assur ance of success. Mr. Hawley is anxious to see de veloped a corn that will grow well In Oregon, for with this cheap fodder he believes hog-ratslng can he developed Into a largo and profitable Industry. Of late years, with the high price of wheat, Oregon farmers have raised few hogs, as they could not afford to buy corn in the Middle West, and had not been able to grow their own corn suc cessfully. This condition, Mr. Hawley believes, will not long continue, for be has strong hopes that the experiments during the coming Summer will prove saccessful. Whenever Oregon can pro duce its own corn In large quantles it will be able to build up a hog Industry that It worth wmle, in Mr. Hawley opinion. BRITISH SOCIETY ACTIVE Opening or Parliament Attended by Receptions at Homes of Leaders. LONDON. March 2. (Special.) The social" sldo of politics is once more prominent, now that the Hou of Par liament has commenced Its new ses sion. Landowners wiho represent coun try constituencies hak-ev with their fam ilies, taken residence In the most de sirable section of the metropolis, and are enjoying to the full the social amenities of their party's political functions. Contrary to her usual practice In Spring and Fall, Lady Lansdowne is not entertaining for the opposition. Her Inactivity has provided openings for younger hostesses, notably Mrs. Al merlc Paget, the popular American wife of tho well-known conservative M. P. for Cambridge, who was the first so ciety dame to entertain Bonar Law in his official capacity as leader of the opposition. Most of the notable host esses belong to the party at present out of office, so there are no lack of drawing-room advantages for the oppon ents of Premier Asquith. Lady Ashby St. Ledgers shares with Mrs. Asquith the onus of upholding the government's reputation in soci ety, a task also -congenial to the taste of Lady Wlmborno, her distinguished mother-in-law. The most popular gath erings of the early political season al ways take place at Wlmborne House, where the priceless treasures of the Guest family are housed. The house Is eminently suitable for receptions on a grand scale. It boasts a fine square ball, a centrally situated conservatory, similar to the Inner courtyards of Con tinental houses, and four drawing rooms. The big dinners that are a spe cial feature of Wlmborne House enter taining are held In the ballroom, the roof of ahlch is supported on Cor inthian pilasters. the decorations throughout being of cream and gold. The only modern note In this London palace is to be found In Lady Wlm borne's boudoir, which Is up-to-date In Its equipment, and contains several portraits of her favorite brother, the late Lord Randolph Churchill, father of the Irrepressible Winston of today. As two of her sons are Liberal Mem bers of Parliament, she Is not depend ent on newspapers for her political Information.

At present his only plans are for short speaking trips, and his personal desire Is to avoid long -ones if he can. The siege of Sagamore Hill began to day, when Colonel Roosevelt made his first appearance In his home town since his declaration of willingness to accept the Presidential nomination. A full fledged battalion of correspondents and telegraph operators came down from New York with the Colonel. For months the Colonel has declined to be interviewed at Sagamore Hill, but today he signalized his entrance into the campaign by lifting the embargo. He was perfectly willing to talk, but said there wasmothlng to say just now. The impression gathered was that he would do some plain talking soon. Colonel Roosevelt was pressed for an expression of opinion concerning the statement last night by Senator Dixon, his campaign manager, in which President Taft's Administration was criticised sharply. He said he had not read the Senator's statement and was not qualified to express an opinion. He had heard, however, that coercion of Federal officeholders In the South was charged and said that when he was President he had never used his influ ence with officeholders for his own advantage. In fact, he had found it necessary to use his influence to pre vent Federal officeholders from work ing for his nomination In 1904 and 1908. The impression was general that the lines of battle would be drawn sharply as a result of the broadside fired by the Roosevelt forces at President Taft. Colonel Roosevelt made it clear, how ever, that he intended to do everything in his power to avoid the appearance of attacking the President and to prevent the issue from becoming personal, Man Finds Brother Dead.
