APOSTLE OF "GOOD
IS FARMER
Recital of Troubles Due to Bad
Roads Makes Other Farmer
Converts.
'WOODSMEN NOT ORATORS"
Terrace, I'erriijo and Parly, of Wash
ington State, Have Realized Boon,
of Good Roads After Losses
Throng-Ik Bad Ones.
The good roads gospel has been ear
ned to the farmers of Columbia Coun
ty In tho week's campaign that closed
yesterday by men who are farmers
themselves, and who realize how vital
ly the matter of good or bad highways
affects the farmer's welfare.
These men are Frank Terrace. W. P.
Perrigo and H. M. Parry, farmers of
King County. Washington, and their
recitals of their troubles as farmers,
caused by poor roads, or the lack of
roads altogethor, were met with under
standing and sympathy at all the meet
ings held throughout the county.
"I am not an orator. I am a back
woodsman," Raid Mr. Perrigo, at the
meeting at Clatskanie. 'I came from
a British colony, where I was born an
American citizen, but coming to this
coast 88 years ago, I landed in what is
now called the city of Seattle. It
wasn't there then, and I went back
Into the woods across Lake "Washing
ton and took my wife with me. Shi
knew nothing of this wild West, She
knew nothing of the Indians and all
those things. She was a nice little
woman, If she was my wife. We went
over a trail. There had just been a
freshet and we had no bridges, nothing.
"Ladies and gentlemen, that little
woman was there 10 years before she
saw the outside. Why? It was such a
task to get out. and we didn't have
very good clothes, and so, gentlemen,
she didn't get out for 10 years. Now,
that Is a good while, isn't It? It re
quires a good deal of patience.
Roads Were First Thought.
"One of the first things we thought of
was roads. Why? Because if we had
anything to sell we could not get it
out. If we bought anything we could
not get it in, had to lug it on our backs
SO miles or freight along the river.
We would take a canoe with an ax
in it. We had to cut our way through
until the loggers could get in and
clear it out. Pretty hard place to put
a woman in, but we were happy. .No
American will be content with his lot
when he can make It better (Applause)
and no American will be contented
with his neighbor's lot if he can make
it better. If he is, he is no man at all.
"I never was in the State of Oregon
before, but Oregon Is the sister of
Washington and Washington is a sis
ter of Oregon, and I am the adopted
son of Washington. Therefore Oregor
is my aunt, my dear aunt, this is the
first time we have met, and I say to
my aunt, I like you.
Good People, but Bad Rroads,
"I like the looks of your people. I
like the looks of your country, but
there is one thing that I do despise and
that is your Infernal rotten roads. (Ap
plause.) "It is a wonder this beautiful valley
doesn't blush by the side of such a
road as we came over.
"Over the trail that my wife and I
traveled in 1877 today there is a first
class Warrenite road. I have traveled
over that road, 5 miles, in eight min
utes, and the automobile stage sched
ule is 10 minutes, and the automobile
truckmen bring my stuff to me at my
door at about 1 cent per 100 less than
the railroad will bring it to the depot.
We don't have any cartage to pay in
the city because the automobile men
go to the store and get the stuff and
land it at my door. We don't even have
to go there to order, for there is com
petition In this auto-truck busienss and
each and every man is willing to do the
best he can and each one of the deal
ers is trying to get the trade. The con
sequence is that we get our stuff
cheaper if we Just leave It to him.
These are some of the advantages of
good roads. Another advantage is the
increased valuation of property. If
some of you gentlemen, or a body of
men here owned 20 sections of land, in
a row, two sections together 10 miles
long we will say it is a country where
you can build a road reasonably
straight whether you are real estate
men or what you are. if you would dis
pose of that property.-7I'm sure you
will bear me out that the first thing
you would do would be to build a
first-class road from one end of that
to the other. If for no other purpose
than to dispose of your property. Or,
if you were going to cultivate it to
dispose of your stuff. There Is no
real estate man here that will dispute
me there it will pay you big' big
investment. I think any man here will
grant that that la a fact."
Frank Terrace Telle of Conversion.
Mr. Terrace told how he became a
convert to the good roads cause on a
visit to England some years aa-n. nri
how he could not help comparing the
ueuuuiui t-ngnsn turnpikes to the
roads of King County, where he knew
his neighbors were dragging laborious
ly through the mud.
"I came home with the determina
tion that I was going to put .in my
time advocating for roads," said Mr.
Terrace, "either. In season or out of
season, which I have done. One day I
noticed a little piece appeared in the
paper that Samuel Hill, the great apos.
tie of good roads, was going to deliver
a lecture in Seattle and to the people
of the United States about good roads,
and I went down to hear what Mr. Hill
had to say. I was well impressed and
I came to the conclusion that Mr. Hill
was sincere in what he was saying;
that he meant what he was saying. I
came home and told my neighbors I
was then master of the White River
Grange as to what I had heard .
"Through agitating and talking we
got the county officials persuaded that
they would furnish the material for a
mile and a half of road which was to
be built along the river going to Se
attle, and Mr. Hill was to furnish the
man that would supervise the con
struction of that road, as he thought
at that time there was not a man in
the whole state of Washington that
was able to construct a road ofythat
"The result was we got started, on
it was a costly piece of road. It was
built at a cost of J20.000 a- mile, and
when you spoke to our farmers In our
.valley of roads costing $20,000 a mile
they threw up their hands in horror
Why wouldn't they? They lived In the
vailey tnat was made by floods and
freshets. Just the same as that land
is lying out on tne banks of the Co
luiuuia. mver. in Daa weather you
know there was no bottom to it. In
the Winter time the soil was 100 feet
deep no finer land ever on earth than
it was. jut wnon good prices pre
vailed in the markets in the Winter
time we could, not haul our crops out,
ROADS
Therefore we had no money to con
struct roads.
"They were in an impoverished con
dition. They were not business men
enough to know that if they had roads
to market the produce that was rot
ting on the ground, they would have
money to build roads and schoolhouses
and all the necessaries of life that they
need.
"The result was t.he road was built
and Just after that road was built we
had one of the greatest floods that we
ever had in our country. Nine feet of
water stood over the top of that road,
and you can depend upon It that for
nine days and nights I never slept.
Road Nine Days Submerged StUl Good.
"The neighbors would say, 'Mr. Ter
race, your $20,000 road has gone down
the river.' You can depend on It that
if it had gone down the river I would
have had to leave the country, and
Brother Hill well, they would have
hanged him if he had gone there.
"But the result was, when the water
fell the roaj was none the worse for
being under water for nine days. The

Lawrence A. Fernsworth.
VERBOORT, Or., Jan. 31.
(Special.) At a meeting of the
baseball club here Sunday, Law
rence A. Fernsworth, editor of
the . Cornelius Tribune, was
elected manger and a general
plan of campaign was outlined
for the coming season. It was
decided to give an entertainment
in the Foresters Hall here next
month, immediately before Lent
to obtain funds to defray pre
liminary expenses. A vaudeville
sketch, to be written by Mr.
Fernsworth, will be one of the
features.
The new manager played base
ball at Santa Clara College, Cal
ifornia, and Mount Angel Col
lege. farmers are now going down our val
ley and going into Seattle with produce
in the Winter time, and Instead of the
steam flying off the horses and the
tongue flying from side to side, when
the horses come to that beautiful piece
of a mile and a half of road they climb
up on the top of it and the driver puts
the lines down and takes his pipe out
of his pocket and lights it, and the
horses go along wagging their tails
and smiling. (Applause.)
But how about when the horses
would come to the other end and had to
haul off of that beautiful road into the
mud and slush. The horses would step
from side to side the same as you
farmers have seen your own horses do
when they didn t want to take a
swampy place."
Difficulties In Early Days.
"I want to say something about the
good roads in King County, Washing
ton," said Mr. Parry. "I live about 13
miles north of Seattle and make it a
point of raising strawberries for the
Seattle market, and in former days I
used to have to get up at 1 o'clock in
the morning and start as near as I
could to that hour so as to be down
on Western avenue at 6 o'clock with
the strawberries, as undoubtedly many
of you here have grown them and
know they are very tender, and if you
chafe thern or bruise them they shrink
down in the box and get bruised and
disoolored and don't fetch as big a
price. Now I can sleep until 4 o'clock
and start from home at half-past 4
and be on Western avenue at 6 o'clock.
Why? Because we have roads. I had
the pleasure, or displeasure, rather, I
might say, of driving from a neighbor,
lng town here to this city this morn
ing, or this noon, and I Just point to
that road and wonder how in the world
you farmers can stand it.
"Have you ever thought how much
it takes out of you and how much it
takes out of your team and your vehi
cle and your harness and the produce
or whatever you have to market?
"I don't see how you ladles can man
age to ship eggs to town if all of the
roads are similar to that, and they tell
me some of the roads are even worse
than that. I pity you if you have to
drive many miles over them.
..- "But the question is this, are you
sufficiently , interested in Improying
tho roads and building good roads un
der the present conditions? You have
an election coming on, I understand,
pretty soon. In regard to bonding your
county for roads. I might say that
m K-ing t;ounty, that I came from, we
bonded the county for three million
dollars' In addition to what good roads
we had before. Brother Terrace here
told me about that this afternoon and
will probably refer to it asrain this
evening, and the benefit of that mile
and a half of road to the farmers of
the valley and the whole of King
County."

J
PARTIES CONSIDER
PROHIBITION PLANK
Idaho Politicians Will' Give
Matter Attention Before
Framing Platform.
C. H. HEITMAN HAS BACKING
'Dry" Leader of Kootenai County
Urged to Bo Candidate for Gov
ernor Republicans Lining .
Up for State Offices.
BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 31. (Special.)
Will the three dominant political par
ties in this state nail statewide pro
hibition planks in their respective plat
forms this year, and if they do, what
effect will it have?
This isone of the paramount queries
In Idaho politics today and will become
more so as the primary campaign, now
less than six months off. approaches,
for statewide prohibition is to be a big
issue. The primary election this year
will be held September 1, but the plat
forms of the respective parties must
be promulgated in party conventions
at noon in Boise, June 30.
Statewide prohibition was avoided as
a plank at the party platform conven
tions two years ago, yet there were
enough "dry" votes in the last Leg
islature to have placed Idaho in the
prohibition column had it been a Re
publican party pledge. It was not,
however.
More consideration will be given to
the prohibition plank by the Repub
lican and Democratic parties this year
than before, and the Progressive party,
now actively installed in Idaho politics
will also give it the same consideration.
It is largely because of the evident
dry" tendency in this state that there
is much activity among the friend3
of C H. Heitman, ex-state chairman
of the Republican party, to bring him
out as a candidate for Governor.
It is given out here on excellent
authority that letters have been pour
ing in urging action of this kind be
cause of his prominence in Kootenai
County, where he has been and is to
day conspicuous as the "dry" leader.
The "drys" recently filed a big- pe
tition in that county to hold a local
option election next month and bring
it back into the prohibition column.
C. If. Potts Is Beins Considered.
The announcement that C. H Potts,
of Coeur d'Alene, Senator from
Kootenai County in the Eleventh Leg
islature and ex-County Attorney here,
may be a candidate for Congressman
subject to the will of the Republican
primaries, and that William B. Lee,
Republican state central committeeman
from the neighboring county, Latah,
may shy his hat into the same ring.
caused somewhat of a stir here where
state politics are beginning to brew.
Congressman Addison T. Smith, now
nerving his first term in the lower
house, will be a candidate for re-election,
and if the Republican party polls
anything like its normal strength he
will probably be sent back to Congress.
North Idaho seems to have come into
not a - little prominence in the Con
gressional spotlight, for practically all
or the material lor Congress so far
mentioned from the Republican stand
point comes from that .section. They
are: A. H. Connor, State Representa
tive, of Bonner County; Walter H. Han
son, State Senator, of Shoshone County;
Miles S. Johnson, ex-Assistant United
States District Attorney, of Nez Perce
County; C. H. Potts, of Kootenai Coun
ty; William E. Lee, of Latah County.
Democrat! Have Candidates.
The Democrats have two announced
candidates in the field for Congress
man Dow Dunning, State Senator
from Owyhee County in the last Leg
islature, and Mark Bates, a newspaper
man, of Parma.
Republicans are already lining up
for state offices. The announcement
is made here that Geoorge R. Barker,
editor of the Pend d'Oreillo Review of
Sand Point, Bonner County, and Repub
lican state central committeeman, will
be a candidate for Secretary of State.
Reports are in circulation to the ef
fect that Secretary of State W. L. Gif
ord will be a candidate for State
Treasurer. State Treasurer Allen maj
be a candidate to succeed himself, but
his close friends admit there is a pos
slbility he may enter the Congres
sional race. Byron E. Hyatt, now Dep
uty Secretary of State, is also spoken
of as a candidate to succeed the pres
ent incumbent in that office.
ROADS ARE WELL KEPT

ARB IN GOOD CONDITION.
J. II. Vopng, First Senator In Washing
ton, Show. What Can Be Done Us
ing: Crashed Rock on Roads.
CHE HALTS, Wash, Jan. SI. (Spe
cial.) In Claquato precinct, adjoining
Chehalis to the west, is a road super
visor whose practical work in main
taining his roads is worthy the study
of other supervisors in various parts of
the state. Louis Lund is the man who
has Just been reappointed, to his posi
tion.
On the main road west of Chehalis
years ago, J. H. Long, who was the
first Btate Senator in the Washington
Legislature from Lewis County, built
the first crushed, rock roadway in this
part of the state. Since that time vari
ous road supervisors have built miles
of the crushed rock roads in the Che
halis Valley. Mr. Lund is maintaining
his roads so effectively that they are
in. the finest condition now at Mid
winter time.
At frequent intervals along the roads
he has piles of crushed rock of various
slses and whenever a hole begins to
wear or a had rut to cut it is promptly
repaired. On the side roads in his dis
trict-Mr. Lund is building high and dry
grades before laying the rock and tho
result is that, there is not a road dis
trict in Southwest Washington that
can boast of as many miles of good
roads as can District No. 13, the Cla
quato district west of Chehalis.
Mr. Lund is one of the few super
visors in Lewis County who still has
money to his credit with which to keep
up his roads from his district funds.
Recently the greater part of the low
lands of the Chehalis Valley were
flooded for miles with one of the peri
odical backwater floods of Winter. The
roads for miles were covered with wa
ter. However, within a day or two
after the waters had receded the roads

NEW CROP 15 AID
Baker Farmers Finding Sweet
Clover Brings Results.
ACCIDENT IS RESPONSIBLE
Seed From Portland House Is Sent
In Mistake for Alfalfa and Al
kaline Land Returns Bis
Profit Feeding Cows.
BAKER. Or., Jan. 31. (Special.)
Accident has brought about the dawn
of a new era in agriculture in Baker
County, and possibly In the dry farm
ing sections of all Lastern Oregon and
Eastern Washington.
Sweet clover is the crop with which
it is proposed to cover these alkaline.
swampy or high and dry wastes. That
it will grow, and will grow to advan
tage, was discovered by accident. That
It will be a profitable crop when grown
was also discovered by accident, or
rather by circumstances forced on the
farmers of Baker County by a low
market and pure luck.
Lon L. Swift, a graduate of the uni
versity of Oregon and one of the most
prominent farmers of his section; Rich
ard Wright, owner of many wide acres
of excellently cultivated fields, and
William Woods, another prosperous and
wideawake farmer, sent in a joint order
for alfalfa seed to a Portland seed
house last Spring. By some mistake
the seedhouse sent sweet clover .seed.
The two seeds are much alike in gen
eral appearance, and the farmers
planted it
Not many weeks passed before the
crop sprouted, and it was found that
sweet clover and not alfalfa was com
ing up. The three farmers, however,
soon found that sweet clover would
grow, and would grow even better than
alfalfa. When haying time approached
they found the alkaline soil covered
with the crop.
Farmers Dislike Bargain.
The hay was made and put in stacks,
and from the acres which were planted
the farmers reaped much larger hay
stacks, or more of them, than they
could have hoped for with alfalfa. Still,
they were far from pleased with their
bargain. Alfalfa hay was bringing $10
and more a ton with a heavy demand.
Nobody wanted sweet clover hay. It
was stemmy, so stemmy that those who
looked at it said there wasn't & chanqe
of the cattle eating it. Offers of $3
and $3 a ton were received but no more,
and the farmers simply could not sell
at such a price, so they stored their
hay and waited for the annual hay
famine which rules in Eastern Oregon.
But there was no market.
Mr. Swift fed the sweet clover to his
cattle and watched the results. Always
more or less of an efficiency expert,
with a careful set of books tabulating
Just what every part of his farm pro
duces, he was fitted at once to make
comparisons. Inside of a vweek he
noticed an appreciable Increase in his
milk returns and in the amount of but
ter fat being produced from his fine
dairy herd. At the end of a month, or
this week, was able to report his find
ings. His total average daily output of
butter fat was found to have Increased
18 per cent from the same cows in the
month he has been feeding sweet clover
hay; his increase in skim milk for
feeding hogs in the same period in.
creased 12 H per cent. These figures
moreover, were made with one fresh
cow less in his dairy herd than he had
when he was feeding alfalfa and tim
othy hay.

Mr. Woods. Neither needed a second
word, but both began feeding. Mr.
Wright and Mr. Woods both report in
creased yields in butter fat and in milk
from their dairy herds, although neither
has as yet provided accurate figures as
to the amount of Increase. Both have
found, however, that the cattle will eat
the new-hay readily and both, with Mr.
Swift, have acknowledged that the mis
take by the Portland seedhouse was
one of the luckiest mistakes in their
farming history.
The three farmers have not attempted
to keep their discovery a secret. They
have told their neighbors on Missouri
Flat and dozens of orders for sweet
clover seed have been sent in to the
seedhotises.
The farmers who are ordering sweet
clover seed admit, however, that it is
still more or less of an experiment.
That the crop will enrich the soil is
taken for granted. Bulletins from the
Department of Agriculture tell them as
much. But sweet clover, unlike alfalfa,
will not propagate itself from year to
year, and requires reseeding every two
years. Mr. Swift believes, however.
that the crop can be planted success
fully and harvested twice in one year
and once the second year and then
turned under, to enrich the soil, and be
made into fine land for wheat for the
next few succeeding years. It is on
this theory that the farmers are order
ing their seed, one and all believing
that in this way the alkali can be
cleared from the soil and lands which
now yield little or no "profit, save as
pasture, turned to real advantage.
