WEISE IS GETTING
GOOD RESULTS
GERMAN EXPERT IN DAIRY
PRODUCTS LOOKING OVER
PROPOSITION FOR ESTAB
LISHING MILK CONDENSER.
GETTING RESULTS.
One of the best expert cheese and
butter makers, a scientist who thor
fmghly understands pasteurizing and
sterilizing of milk so that it there
after cannot possibly convey the
dreaded germ of tuberculosis, Mr. H.
Weise, lately of Berlin, Germany,
but for the past nine months of the
state of Colorado, arrived in the city
yesterday morning accompanied by
bis wife for the purpose of looking
over a number of diary propositions
about which he has recently been in
correspondence with the Chamber of
Commerce.
The officials of the Chamber wel
comed Mr. and Mrs Weise assisted
by Dr. C. W. Barr, chairman of the
special diary committee; Mayor Wise
and A. Scherneckau, who has been
conducting the feerman correspon
dence for the Chamber.
Mr. Weise will if the conditions
warrant, establish a milk condenser
in Astoria. He has conceived the
idea that probably this can be done
by the aid of skimming stations
throughout the lower river country.
At least these stations would enable
the establishment of a high-class
cheese factory for making Swiss,
Limberger and other valuable cheese.
Mr. Weise also has in mind the
establishing of a school for the mak
ing f these cheeses and for other
nigh-class diary purposes. As there
is no such school and he is a grad
uate of the best diary and cheese
, making schools of both Germany and
Denmark, it is beleved that such an
establishment will pay here and pay
.well and that students can be drawn
from as far away as Seattle and Eu
reka.'". ur. xarr win ai ictsi acc mai mi .

conditions, including those at Gray's

points will assist very much in such
an enterprise as Mr. Weise has in
mind.

many as he says he is in touch with
a colony of such people who are
anxious to come here.
"As the milk of this section of the
country makes the best cheese that
can be produced", said Mr. Weise,
"I am especially anxious to locate
here. I believe that the business of
sterlizing milk of itself would be a
profitable on. tFive or six hundred
gallons of milk a day would do to
start the manufacturing of cheese,
but of course a much larger quantity
would be preferable. A first-class
cheese and butter sterilizing plant
would not cost more than five thou
sand dollars. I am ready to make
investments here if I find the con
ditions will warrant I am used to
this sort of climate and am anxious
to locate here, or else I would not
have come here for the purpose of
making a personal examination. I be
lieve that the great future of this
section of the country after the tim
ber is removed is in dairying and I
would like, if I can profitably do so,
to become allied with the dairying
interests here permanently. Before
I leave, if I do leave, I shall spend a
week or ten days in looking into
local conditions, which, so far as I
have seen them, please me greatly.
I understand your soil, your tide
lands and all the conditions concern
ing them. I have several proposi
tions whereby you can bring the
thriftiest and best classes of Germans
here who will settle up your lands,
dike the tide lands and clear off the
stumps. This cannot be successfully
done any other way. The land will
have to be sold to these settlers on
easy terms, for they will only have a
small amount of money each to begin
with, but you may rest assured that
they will pay for every foot of land
they buy, and that, too, within a few
years. And after, they pay for it they
will become permanent citizens and
the very best.
"Before I leave I would like to
meet any of your farmers or land
owners who have tide lands or stump
lands of considerable areas who
would sell the same on easy terms. I
don't mean by that that the land
must be the cheapest in price, but
that the buver must have a lon
term in which to make payments."

ASK INSTRUCTIONS
Knapp Wants Definate Informa
tion off La Foilette Bill.
WILL REQUIRE 3 YEARS TIME
It Is Pointed Out That It It Not
Clear Whether the Bill la Intended
to Apply to Express Companies,
Electric Railroads, Etc.
WASHINGTON, Mar." Ji.-Yhe
Senate committee on interstate com
merce yesterday - received a letter
from Chairman Knapp of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, giving
the commission's estimate of the La
Follette bill for an official valuation
of railroad property. In r the main
Mr. Knapp quotes from suggestions
made by Heney Adams, statistician
for the commission in regard to a
similar bill referred to him a year
ago and from the last annual report
of the commission, and adds:
"As to the time likely to be requir
ed for performing the work of valua
tion and its probable expense, we are
of the opinion that the estimate of
Mr. Adams in his letter of 1906 is
too conservative and we understand
that he is now of the same opinion.
The selection of first class engineers
and other assistants and the organi
zation of a sufficient and reliable
force will require careful inquiry and
consideration. A reasonable time
should be allowed for this prelimin
ary but most important part of the
work.
"While we are -unable an alto
gether confident judgment, we think
it not unlikely that three years would
be necessary to complete proposed
valuation and that the total expense
would perhaps not be Jess than $3,-
000,000. At the same time we have
no reason to believe that these limits
would be materially exceeded."
Upon the bill itself aside from the
general question involved, Mr. Knapp
says it is not clear whether the meas
ure is intended to provide for the val
uation of electric urban railways,
which he thinks should be excluded
execpt as they are integral parts of
or subsidiary to the steam railways
It is pointed out also that it is not
clear whether the bill it intended to
apply to express companies, sleep-ins-cars,
companies, pipe lines, boat
lines, transfers and common carriers
of similar classes. It is suggested
that the bill should include provision
for the valuation of cars of packing
companies. and other private con
cerns, whose equipment is used in in
terstate transportation. He says the
bill could contain some general in
structions relative to the report to be
made, and calling for analysis of the
:lemcnts that constitute the valua
ion of railway property. Such an
alysis is essential before any judicial
ise can be made of the figures re
ported.
Another matter of criticism by the
commission, is the fact that the bill
makes no provision for the right of
aeents of the commission to enter
upon the property "of corporations.
It is stated that the most important
point in an inventory valuation is the
extent to which the property has de-
35.00 '::,
urcclated and for tills and other pur
poses Chairman Knapp says that if
there is to be legislation of this char
acter .the agents of the commission
must have free access, to the property
of the railroad companies as well as
access to the records. ! ;
FIND WORK FOR MEN.
CHICACOfMnr. 31. The Record
Herald says: - '
In the next 60 days the railroads
of the United States will have to
find between 250,000 and 300,000 men
to mend their tracks and roadbeds
and another large army to go Into
their shops and repair the cars and
the locomotives. The , railroads
centering in Chicago alone will, be
twecn tomorrow and June 1 require
more than 100,000 , laborers. Work
will be started tomorrow on road
which m the best favored by cli
matic conditions and will be Increas
ed rapidly until June 1, when re
newal and repair work will be in
full swing on every road In the Coun
try. The average number of men
needed by each of the large Chicago
systems is 5,000 and the wages of
fered are to be about the same as
last year, when labor was scarcer
and more men were needed. For
day laborers the wages range be
tween $1.25 and $1.60 a day, the aver
age being about $1.40. The highest
figures is paid for what is called steel
gangs, who are employed in laying
steel rails.
This year the railroads expect to
be able to procure a much greater
proportion of American labor than
usual, owing to the fact that times
have not been so good and many
men are out of employment. It is
also expected that there will not be
so many Italians available this year
because since the business depression
came, the Italians returned to their
native land in shiploads.
NELSON AND ATTEL.
Fifteen Rounds Fight With Eddie
Smith as Referee.
SAN FRANCISCO, Mar, 31. Ed
die Smith, the Oakland referee, will
efficiate in the ring at the Coliseum
tonight when Battling Nelson and
Abe Attel clash in their 15 round con
test. Smith takes the place of Ed
die Greney, who announced yester
day that he would be unable to under
take the task because of illness in his
family. In each fighter's camp it was
a case of just a tap of work yester
day. Nelson hovered around the 133
mark, while Attcll was so far below
the weight that he did not have any
thing: to bother him on that score.
The betting last night in the vari
ous poolrooms was brisk at eyen
money. The volume ol money it is
said wagered exceeds any fight since
that between Burns and Squires and
bids fair to equal that. Attell's con
fidence is strong enough to make
him put down a good sized bet on
the outcome and Nelson is taking a
chance on the result.
.The fact that the betting is even
and that the crowds at the training
camps on Sunday were so large fore
casts a crowded house at the Coli
seum rink this evening when the
fighters climb through the ropes.
Conservative judges estimate that
the house will run $10,000 and pos
sibly exceed that sum. Attell gave
out an official sttacment last night
in the rink. He said that he would
enter the ring at 122 1-2 pounds.

L. T. Cooper, whose theory that
the unman stomach Is the cause of
most ill health and who created a
furore in Chicago, St. Louis and oth

same remarkable success wth his
medicine throughout the East. Coop

ber of people that his theory is
sound and his medicine will do what
he claims.
Perhaps the most Interesting fea

have taken his medicines and have
become enthusiastic converts to his
beliefs.
Among statements of this chaf

THE STORY OUT.
f London, Mar. 31. All the London
papers are now in possession of the
latest phase of the Hill incident, but
for the most part they refrain" from
comment. The Daily News, how
ever, in an editorial says that the
Emperor's whisper carries further
than the thunders of other men. "It
all goes to show," says the paper,
" that the Emporor ought neither to
write to hiV friends nor talk freely
at the dinner table, for he Is a man
of impulsive temperament and sin
gularly unfitted for a role where
discretion is the supreme virtue."
The Daily Express says: "The
new diplomacy of the dinner table
and ballroom is a palpable anachron
ism to have it recognized that a man
is unfitted to be ambassador unless
he is wealthy and consumed with a
desire to spend on lavish entertain
ments is to put back the hands of the
clock of history President Roose
velt will not be the man we take
him for if he docs not bring dowp
the big stick on this particular cabal."
DENTIST ARRESTED.
PORTLAND, March 31.-Dr. J. P.

of his sweetheart, Mable Wirtz, who
died of mercurial poisoning. t The
body was about to be cremated when
the deputy coroner stopped the cere

had not been filed. When the certi

cause of death made plain, Whitney
was arrested.
