MANEUVER IS DEPICTED General William H. Johnston Tells of Exercises in Letter to Portland Friend. American troops in Germany, atill keeping: watch on the Khine, enacted the Argonne campaign of the 91st division, under the direction of the Wlla West outfit'! old commander according- to a letter that has been lecelved from General William H. Johnston by a member of The Ore Konian staff. A portion of the letter f olows: "On September 27 this brigade, acting- as a part of the American forces in Germany division, emerged from its camouflaged bivouacs in some woods quite similar to the Foret de Heas and advanced against the enemy represented ?y other troops, about eight kilometers, ap proximately the same distance made by the 91st division in the Meuse Argonne, precisely three years be fore. Bravery Is Recalled. T frequently thought that day of the bravery and efficiency of mem bers of the 91st dlvison in advanc ing, not against targets, but against two of the guard divisions of the im perial German army. This year um pires held back my lines by informa tion of theoretical casualties caused by hostile machine guns and artillery. The advance was actually slower than that of the 91st division against live ammunition and real machine guna and artillery. "During the advance we employed lank ammunition and artillery, one pounders, automatic and ordinary rifles and live ammunition from ma chine guns by firing such guns with the muzzles into holes in the ground to prevent casualties among the troops representing the enemy. "On September 28, the third day of our advance, live ammunition was used by all classes of guns against target placed on a hill which resem bled somewhat the Eplnonville-Fcllse-Fontalne ridge. GeneraJ Persh ing was present, mounted, during this last day of our attack, watching ihe advance of the Infantry while the machine guna and artillery fired over cur heads. Wires Link Units. "All of our units were linked, by field telephone wires and also by separate wires from the batteries of the assault battalions of our brigade. In order to simulate war conditions, our camps were hidden in the woods, men sk'pt under tents covered with brush and rations and ammunition were issued at night. Every com mand down, to include battalions, was accompanied by an umpire for the purpose of reporting any mistakes made or any lack of equipment. Con ditions were such that many officers and men who did not get an oppor tunity to serve. In the front lines during the war acquired experience similar to that gained by the 91st and other divisions. "In one of my regiments the um pires 'killed off three battalion com manders and a large number of men. This was .because such officers and men were said to be too much ex posed. It actually required captains to command battalions, and lieuten ants to command companies Just as the 91st division lost many of its valuable officers through killed and wounded. Aid Stations EntablUked. "The medical department estab lished first aid stations, collecting stations and set up field hospitals in the rear. As each man wounded was carried by motorized ambulance back to the hospital and given two good meals before returning to his organ ization, the trip became popular. Fome men tired of advancing with full pack such long distances and fell out, alleging that they were 'wound ed.' When it was discovered that most of these men had not been regularly tagged they were detailed cs litter bearers for the remainder of the day. "1 believe very few people of the United States appreciate the high standard of traln'ng given troops over here. We have opportunities here which are hardly enjoyed by any command of the United States. As all of our officers and men are con tented, the morale of these forces Is high. "Give my kindest regards to 'all of my 91st division friends in Portland." BOOK AGENJPUT IN JAIL1 Nicholas Cog an Charged "With Mis use or 17. S.

BY ROLLA H. ROBERTS. EIGHT Corvallis hens have been started on a 5200-mile trip to England to represent Oregon and the Pacific northwest in the internatioal egg-laying contest. The hens are single comb White Leghorns, owned by J. A. Hanson of Corvallis. They are descendants of the famous O. A. C. type of Leghorns and come from a strain of 1000-egg producers. More than $5000 is offered the prize winners In the contest which these hens will enter. It is conducted at Bentley, Suffolk, England, by the Daily Mall, and covers a period of two years, beginning November 23. The prise birds ara traveling first class. Their Pullman Is a large hard wood coop, solidly built. The dining car is also attached, with special com partments for feed and water. After eight years of selection, rigid culling and the use of pedigreed males, Mr. Hanson believes his hens have reached a high enough standard of SWKET HOME SECTION SHOWS RAPID DEVELOPMENT. Orchards Produce; Fine Fruits and Agriculture Reaches an Important Stage. SWEET HOME, Or., Nov. 12. (Spe cial.) During the last year around Sweet Home and Foster the commu nity has taken a large change, sev eral new buildings have been erected where the old buildings have been re moved. Roads in different districts have been1 Improved; others need Im proving, but will be later on. New orchard have sprung up the last three years. Those owning some of them are O. Felgum, Arthur Ehlert and Gotlieb Wodtll. Mr. Wodtll owns the largest prune orchard in miles, and several new berry patches have sprung up since the canneries have opened. Farmers are taking better care of their fields. Consequently better crops are being raised. Wheat last year was fine. John Galbraith. a wealthy farmer, last year grew the best corn in this vicinity. Mr. Gal- braitb has some fine fruit on his place. The coming year the road from Lebanon to Cascadia will be improved. Not many years ago the traveler moved through the hills by team and covered rigs, where now he goes by cars.

Messages from governors of other states and mayors of other cities, as well as United States senators who helped pass the bill by which the government author ised the fair and thus paved the way for national participation, have all been favorable. "What I would like to know Is. would the objectors like to have us quit after having gone thus far?" asked Campaign Committee Chairman Powers.

"This breed presents a typical egg type." explains Mr. Hanson. "They have reached an immense capacity, are extremely active, but domestic. They have heavy curved combs and bright eyes." The breeding males used by the Hanson poultry farm for all its rec ord egg producers have originated from three families: Lady Superior, O. A. C. "A27" a 310-egg hen; Lady Efficiency, with a 314-egg record, and "E248." a 302-egg hen. Lady Superior was mated to Big Ben. By trap nest ing the pullets Mr. Hanson has se lected the very highest layers. These are used for breeding. One of the cockerels from Hanson's poultry farm sold for $162.50 at an auction sale in Petaluma, Cal.. this month. The pen of five cockerels consigned by Hanson sold at an ave rage of more than (80 apiece. This sale was originated and conducted by the Petaluma county farm bureau, which was organized in 192-0 for the purpose of making the poultry indus try more profitable to the producer. and asked participation, we should say to all and sundry that we had changed our minds and had quit. "Can we afford to become known as the quitter state of the union? Per sonally, I certainly would not want to send; out the word that we had quit. I would hate to have anyone else say that Oregon starts but does not finish. It would give us a reputation that I fe-m sure no one in Oregon wants and we would all have to hang our heads in shame. "But let it not be said the west, and particularly Oregon, is in the habit of doing things that way. What we start let's finish. We have started a big exposition; now let's go through!"

Laying Houses Are Modern. "This season our pullets are housed in three new modern laying houses," said Mr. Hanson, "350 in each house, with trap nests, which will be used throughout the year." Breeding stock receives unlimited range in kale and grain fields and housing in open sheds and fresh-air houses. Double yards are used, where there is always fresh soli for the hens to range on. while the other half is being cultivated. Pullets at seven weeks of age are put into small houses, 50 in a house, then placed in a large meadow and grain field with a running stream. After they are three months old the covers of the houses are taken off. al lowing them to roost in the trees and fences.

Hi ri WHO VYLLJL tlVJi FOPLLAJl COKCEAT, RETURNS POINTED OUT Investments and' Settlers to Be Ob tained Through Exposition z Advertising Are Cited. The 1925 exposition and the levy for its support were debated at the luncheon of the Civic league Kester day. John F. Daly, president of the Hibernia bank, supporting the pro posed tax levy and S. M. Mears, presi dent of the Portland Cordage com pany, opposing it. After the question had been thor oughly discussed by the two princi pal speakers the meeting was opened for general discussion and a large number of those present spoke in favor of the. proposed exposition tax. Mr. Mears, however, was the only one present who could be found to oppose the tax. . The exposition would be a paying proposition from the business point of view, Mr. Daly said. He said that of the 16,000,000 which It was pro posed to raise in the state' for the support of the exposition the major ity would be spent here. In addition he estimated that at least 'a similar amount would be spent by other states and territories . and foreign governments In establishing exhibits at the exposition. ' A Tourist Revenue Pointed Out. Mr. Daly said that another source of return would be the money spent by visitors to the fair. What this would amount to he declared he had no way of determining although he said that, in his estimation, it would be a large sum. The publicity which Portland and Oregon would receive as a result of putting on the exposition, Mr. Daly declared, would be of great value. He said that the lack of publicity and advertising was the principal reason why this state had not de veloped in the past like the states to the north and south. The investment of new capital and the development of resources which would result from people being brought here through the medium of the exposition were mentioned as other sources of financial return trom which the state would benefit. Mr. Mears mad sport of statements by fair officials in estimating that 1,000,000 automobiles would come to the exposition and that they would mean the spending of approximately liu,00.000 in Oregon. He asked why the figures had been placed as low as 1,000,000 rather than 2,000,000. Pledge Only Committee's Men. Mr. Mears said that supporters of the exposition declared that the ex position must be held now inasmuch as the city and state were committed. "Who committed us?" he asked. "It was a self-organized committee. The election will be the first chance the people have had to give their stamp of approval or disapproval." The speaker touched upon the high tax rate and declared that settlers usually asked the tax rate before de ciding to locate in any community. In that respect he declared Oregon did not have the inducements to offer settlers which she formerly had. Mr. Mears urged that if such a sum of money was to be Invested that it be put in permament improvements such as highway construction or port development rather than in what he characterized as an advertising scheme. Advertising Need Is Cited. E. J. Jaeger emphasized the impor tance and the need of advertising the city and state. He said that during a recent trip to Europe he found many people who had heard of the Columbia river highway because it had been ad vertised, but few who had heard of Portland. He said that the proposed exposition offered a splendid medium for advertising. Frank Deckabaugh of Salem too a fling at Mr. Mears' tax argument. He said that the Willamette valley had iaued to obtain settlers ten or more years ago when the taxes were low. He said that high taxes were not the trouble. That the money to bs raised by the tax was to be In the nature of a loan for benefits to come was ths declara tion of Mrs. Lee Davenport. "We believe in Portland," she de clared, "and let us put over the expo sition," Milton' R. Klepper referred to the declaration of Mr. Mears that a self appointed committee had committed the state to the holding of the expo sition. He said that on the contrary the state legislature, representative of the citizens of the state, had taken action recognizing the plan for hold ing the exposition and had Invited other states to participate.

An attempt evidently is being made to exploit land adjacent to the White Bluffs-Hanford soldier land tettlement project, according to Dan . Scott, director cf development and conservation, who today received a telegram from Ivan Goodner, chief engineer of the Columbia Basin sur vey at Spokane. Goodner asked per mission to tnvestlg-ate irrigation pos sibilities on 12.000 acres of railroad lands near Hanford for representa Mves of the mayor of Detroit, Mich., who had an option on the land. Director Scott denied the request jn the ground that the principals must first take up the matter with r.dministratlve officials here as pro vided in state laws. "Land owners adjacent to the land rettlement project did rot accept our offer to let them in under the terms vZ the colonisation act." said Mr. Scott, "and now this additional land is evidently being heid for exploita tion."
