BY ADDISON BENNETT.
TTSNIN'O, Wash., April S. (Special.)
The last two meetings of the O.-W.
R. & N. agricultural campaign con
ducted by Farmer Smith and his asso-'
ciates throughout Southwestern Wash
ington were held at Tenino last night.
However, there were two meetings held
on the closing day and I will speak
of the afternoon meeting first. This
was held at the Grange Hall at
fikookemchuck at 2 o'clock.
Do not imagine that the long and
euphonious name of Skookemchuck
means that the place so set down on
our itinerary is a city or even a town.
It is mostly name, the rest being a
grange hall, a schoolhouse and many
surrounding acres of logged-off land
with the stumps still there to show for
Jt. But it is the making of a fine
agricultural section and many fine
farms are in the near neighborhood.
That the owners of these lands are
prosperous was shown by the well
dressed audience and the neat appear
ance of the well clothed children at
play on the adjacent school grounds.
By the way, the teacher of this schooj
4s a young woman from New York
City who has been out here less than
a. year. Now it is some change from
Broadway to Skookemchuck, but this
teacher. Miss Minnie Jewett, is so en
amored of Washington that she does
not care to go back. From what a
director of the school told me I think
Washington would be fortunate in
having a few hundred more Miss
Jewetts as teachers; I know Oregon
,-would be fortunate in getting fully as
many.
Coplona Notes Taken.
As to the meeting, it was attended
by about 75 persons, and Farmer Smith
had a pleasant 90 minutes with them
and surely to their edification if close
questioning and copious notes mean
anything. Mr. Smith was introduced
by the master of the grange. Miss
Amda Prince. The hall they own is
a. fine one recently erected and is the
social center for a large neighborhood.
The grange I was told is doing a good
work and that there is no doubt the
Farmer Smith lecture will start some
thing in the way of corn, pig and
chicken clubs was the view expressed
to me by one of the members of the
grange. Perhaps I should have said
at the beginning that Skookemchuck
(which I suppose means good "fodder")
Is four miles southeast of Tenino.
Tenino, where the final meeting took
place, has been best known for many
years as the place where two large
companies, the Tenino Stone Company
and the Hercules Sandstone Company
Quarry fine building stone of various
hues, which is shipped to all parts of
the Northwest. It is also in the center
of a fine agricultural section where the
dairy cow is getting to be supreme.
It is a nice little city, well paved, well
lighted, has a good water supply and
In every -way looks prosperous. It has
been hard, hit by the lumber slump and
& bad bank failure. The latter was
caused by outside get-rich-quick bank
smiths bleeding the vaults and was in
no wise the fault of Tenino people. A
new bank was organized recently with
many of the business men behind it
and it already has something like
$25,000 on deposit. L. H. Hubbard is
cashier of the new concern, called the
Citizens Bank, and S. N. Peterson
cashier.
Hotel Kara Landed.
There is a good hotel here, which
our party can vouch for from direct
evidence a good dinner served to us.
This is the Central Hotel, kept by Mrs.
Mattie Stine. There is also a large
hotel where good rooms can be had but
no meals the Hotel Francis, which be
longs to the Tenino Stone Company.
There are two weekly newspapers here,
the old established Tenino News, owned
and run by John E. Zenner, well and
favorably known in this entire section
of the state, and the Tenino Journal,
published and owned by Maurice Mc
Donald, which has Just concluded its
first year of publication.
There is a prosperous crearrfery here
which is owned by H. J. Keithahn. It
Is doing a large business in spite of
the great loads of cream that are ship
ped out by rail and auto trucks. As to
the stores, they all look prosperous and
all carry big stocks and they surely
have their goods displayed in city style.
In fact, the place is going ahead on
the road to prosperity in spite of milll
closing, bank failure and every other
baneful circumstance. Indeed, the peo
ple are of the sort that would go ahead
in spite of any adverse condition that
might befall them.
Ovation Given "Fanner" Smith.
And here we held the final meeting
last night at 8 o'clock in the fine Odd
fellows' Hall. It was largely attended,
and Farmer Smith was given quite an
ovation both at the commencement and
close of his remarks. And the "class
meeting" at the wind-up showed by the
many questions asked that the people
hereabouts are intelligent enough to
know that Farmer Smith gives good
advice to all people who make their
living on the farm and as a rule they
will adopt at least some of the meth
ods advocated by him.
And that will be the last report of a
meeting for this tour, which has lasted
83 days and has carried us pretty well
over the counties of Thurston, Lewis.
Cowlitz and Clarke, has entailed a travel
of about 550 miles by railroad and
about the same distance by auto.
Thirty-seven meetings have been held
and about 7000 people have been ad
dressed, which number includes high
school students. Several hundred bush
els of seed corn have been given away
and many thousand "corn primers" and
other booklets and pamphlets have been
distributed.
Result Is Analyzed.
Has the campaign been worth while?
Looking- at it from the standpoint of
the O.-W. R. & N. Company, the con
cern that footed the bills, it can only
be said that directly the trip has en
tailed an expenditure of a large sum
of money and that no returns can ever
be expected. But indirectly the returns
will be large if the people who have
received the "lecturing," seed corn and
literature will only move upward in the
efficiency scale of farming Just a few
pegs. That they will there seems no
doubt, for former tours have met with
quick and ready responses then why
not this?
I cannot close without saying a few
words as to the camaraderie of the
trip, of the way in which William 51c
Murray, William Carruthars, J. B.
Courtright and J. A. McLeod, the rail
way members of the party, have han
dled the trip and particularly the man
ner in which "Farmer" Smith, as dean
of the party, has conducted the meet
ings and considered the other and less
important members of the party. And
a word, must also be said about the
good work done by Farmer Smith's son,
Lou S. Smith, who has demonstrated
milk testing at many of the meetings.
Finally, the correspondent of The
Oregonian wishes to say that as a hotel
this car 181 has few superiors, while
the landlord and landlady presiding,
Mr. and Mrs. Bert Blake, are in a class
by themselves as cooks and caterers.
They may be dark of face, but they are
white of heart, and under all circum
stances the personification of good and
faithful servitors.
And by their good feeding I have
gained seven pounds on the trip!
1KIJSEV COWS BRIXG $190
Satsoj and Chehalis Stockmen Get
T'ine Cattle at I'ease Sale.
BY ADDISON BENNETT.
ADNA, Wash., April 7 (Special.)
As our party halted at Centralia yes
terday we had the good fortune to have
our car spotted opposite the stockyards
in Chehalis and saw 15 head of as fine
Jersey cows and heifers as there are
in the Northwest. They were just being
unloaded from a car which had brought
them from the dispersal sale of Bert
Pease, a Jersey fancier and breeder,
whose place is located near Ellensburg.
Wash. He sold 59 head at prices rang
ing from about 135 for the heifers up
to $490 for the cows.
The 10 head shipped here were "in
transit except five head for N. B. Coff
man and his protege-partner, Adolph
son. Readers of The Oregonian may
remember that a short time ago I wrote
about Mr. Coffman's place at Chehalis
and about his fine Jerseys. He and
Adolphson were at the Pease sale, but
Adolphson passed a couple of days pre
vious there and saw the cows milked,
so he knew on what to bid. Mr. Coff
man thinks he was fortunate in get
ting this stock, as in breeding the ani
mals are right in line with his founda
tion stock.
Five of the cows and heifers belonged
to Mr. Brewer, the Jersey breeder of
Satsop, Wash. Mr. Brewer was here
in charge of the animals and was pre
paring to reship them to his place. One
of the cows, 4 years old, I think, he
bred on his Satsop farm and sold to
Pease as a heifer for around $100. Now
he was taking her home at a cost of
$450. But Mr. Brewer knows the Jer
sey game and knows what he is doing.
The other five head belonged Jointly
to Ed Carey and E. F. Jernstedt, of
Carlton. Or. Readers of The Oregonian
will remember, or those interested in
dairy cows, that Mr. Carey has some
of the finest Jerseys on the Coast. Well,
he has made some excellent additions
to his herd. Mr. Jernstedt is a neigh
bor of Mr. Carey and is just launching
into the Jersey business.
This little ' town of Adna is by no
means a city, but it is Al as far as it
goes and is in about as fino neigh
borhood of dairymen as there is in Wash
ington. Tins has been written by me
before, for I consider the farms along
the Upper Chehalis River and those
across the divide in the "Willapa "Valley
about as fine as any I have seen in
Oregon. And then it is worth a trip
here to see the fine barns and silos
and more building. As a dairy country
this is sure standing well at the head
in development of any large neighbor
hood in either Oregon or Washington.
There are two large general stores
at Adna, a schoolhouse. a church, a
grange hall and a few dwellings, and,
of course, two railroad depots the Mil
waukee and the Northern Pacific. As
it is not on the O.-W. R, & N.. it may
be asked why they should spend money
to improve conditions in the territory
of other roads. Well, in the first place,
the vision of the officials is broad
enough to see that if one road prospers
all will, and, in the second place, the
people here had requested that "Farm
er" Smith be sent to talk to them.
The oldest store is operated by W.
A. Curtis. He has been in business
here or many years and has prospered.
About a year ago Scott Yancey opened
a store in the fine new building of the
grange, and he has built up a good
business. He carries a well-selected
stock and displays it with as much
taste and skill as our city merchants.
In fact, it is a city store in a hamlet.
The meeting last night was held in
the grange hall, over the Tancey store
and postoffice, and it was the banner
meeting of the trip. Not In numbers,
for there were only about 125 present
But in point of interest and in the in
telligence of the audience, it will stand
as the banner meeting of the trip. Mr.
Smith made his usual talk and then de
voted nearly two hours to answering
questions. Not captious, hypercritical
or "smart queries, but practical farm
problems. Many of them referred to
a former meeting held here about a
year ago by Mr. Smith. He then, as.
now, was preaching the doctrine of the
silo, corn, cows, pigs and poultry
diversified farming in its best phases.
And many of those present last night
had tried his methods and succeeded;
some had tried and failed and wanted
to know why. They found out wherein
they had departed from the instruc
tions, and will go to work-at once to
remedy their errors this season. Yes,
it was a splendid meeting and will do
much good. The people around here
are all successful, and this success is
sure to be intensified, because they
have the brains under their hats to
take advice and carry it out to the best
of their ability.
The Adna people are proud of their
1913.

ESCAPES GUT HALF
UNDER VVITHYCDMRE
Prison Records Refute State
ment That Costs Under
West's Rule Were Less.
PAYROLL EXPENSE LOWER
Only Convict to .Make Exit From
Inside of Penitentiary During
Present Administration Is
Recaptured and Returned.
SALEM. Or., April 8. (Special.)
With the return today from Bakers
field, Cal., of George Clark, who drilled
his. way out of the Oregon Peniten
tiary on the night of January 24, the
only man who has made his escape
from inside, the prison during the en
tire Withycombe administration once
more is in the Penitentiary.
Records of the prison to date show
that the total escapes under the pres
ent administration were 15, of which 13
were last year and two this year.
Contrary to the statement of the Ore
gon Journal, which in an editoria this
week declared there "were more net
escapes at the prison under the Withy
combe system than under the West
honor system," the facts revealed by
official records indicate that the es
capes under the present administration
have a yearly average of less than
half as many as under the West regime.
114 Escape During Wt( Rule.
In the four years that West occu
pied the Governor's chair , there were
114 escapes, an average of 28 annually.
Under his administration nine men es
caped from inside the prison, as com
pared with the one, who escaped since
Governor Withycombe has been in of
fice. It is pointed out that the es
capes from inside the prison are the
important ones. Indicating the effi
ciency or lack thereof of the prison
administration.
The list of escaped prisoners as re
vealed by the Penitentiary records since
January 1, 1911, follows:
Escapes in 1911 Trusties. 6; em
ployed at other state institutions. 7; in
side. 2; brickyard, 3. Total. 18. Re
turned. 7.
Escapes in 1912 Trusties. 4: em

Escapes in 1913 Trusties, 6; em
ployed at state institutions, 6; road
gangs, 13; brickyard, 4. Total, 29. Re
turned. 16.
Escapes in 1914 Trusties. 3; inside,
3; employed at state institutions, 5;
road gangs, 7; brickyard, 1. Total, 19.
Returned. 10.
Escapes in 1915 Trusties, 7; Astoria
road gang, 2; flax gangs, 3; prison farm
(under guard), 1. Total. 13. Returned, 3.
Fimren Refute Statement.
Figures compiled from the financial
records of the state prison refute the
editorial statement of the Oregon Jour
nal, which declared: "As a result of
the management and the excessive num
ber of prison guards, the prison appro
priation will be bankrupt soon."
A detailed statement of the payroll
cost of the prison for the last three
years as compared with the population
during each of these years clearly
proves that in no instance is the per
capita payroll cos so great under the
present administration as under that
of Governor West. In fact, many months
show the Withycombe administration's
payroll outlay as smaller than the
West administration's, despite the fact
that the number of prisoners cared for
now is far in excess of that during the
former regime.
Below is the actual guard cost taken
from the flax fund since last July:
July, $301.51; August, $907.04; Septem
ber. $130; October, $482.90; November,
$739.25; December, $606.27: January,
$335.48; Februarv, $305.52; March,
$446.73. Total, $4254.70.
These figures do not include $250 a
month paid from the flax fund to J. N.
Cady, superintendent of the prison flax
plant.
Since last July the state has paid
$3519.62 to convicts for labor in the' flax
industry at the prison. By months the
expense for convict labor has been as
follows: July, $282; August. $562.87;
September, no expense; October, $561.25;
November, $591.38; December, $526.5i);
January, $240; February, $360.62; March,
$405.
February, 1914, Payroll S2G60.
As an instance, in February, 1914,
with 351 prisoners, the payroll outlay
was $2669. In the same month of this
year, with 657 ' prisoners, the payroll
cost was only $2621. During 1913 and
1914, under the West administration,
the per capita cost per month was
$16.11. For the same period the aver-

age annual cost per prisoner totaled

In 1315 the per capita cost was $14.76
a month and $177 for the year. For
1916 the average per capita cost so far
has been $15.35 monthly.
In this connection attention is called
t the fact that the general cost of
living and foodstuffs, etc., has increased
greatly during the last two years. In
every case the per capita cost under
the present administration is materially
below that of the former administra
tion. Payroll Statement Given.
The statement of the monthly pay
roll at the state prison beginning with
1913, with the population of the prison
at the time, is given below for pur
poses of comparison.
Under the plan of reducing the cost
for guard hire at the Penitentiary in
the future, the Parole Board, at its
meeting next Monday, will consider
what the Governor terms the "merit
system." This system provides that the
Parole Board will each month furnish
a list of prisoners eligible to be made
trusties. The warden will be author
led to inform these men that if they
maintain good conduct while trusties
until the expiration of their minimum
sentence that they will forthwith re
ceive a parole.
