PROGRESSIVE 1 INDUSTRIES Dairying and Other Interests Fos tered by the Wise Policy of Mr. Harriman. The progressive poMcy Inaugurated sev eral years ago by C. H. Markham. the former general freight and passenger agent of the Southern Pacific, In foster ing the creamery industry in the Willam ette Valley, still obtains. W. E. Coman. the present freight and passenger agent. Is continuing the same policy. It is not quite four years since Mr. Markham Inaugurated the policy of en couraging the planting; of creameries, a work in which he was greatly assisted by Dr. Wlthycombe. As the result of qulot but persistent effort, there is now in ac tual operation 29 creameries (- skimming stations and cheese facterles -along the lines of the company irt the Willamette Valley. The aggregate output of these. In round numbers. Is about 4O0,0t9. .So. encouraging are .present - conditions that a still further extension of the dairy Industry is probable. Mr, Harriman's dis cerning eye approves this effort, and It will go on. Recently there was a number of pure-bred, cattle Introduced Into Ore gon and distributed under the direction of Industrial Agent Juson, which will tend to still further aid tne plan. The distribution of pure-bred cattle was not confined to the Southern Pacific, but was also conducted at various points along the O. R. & N. Company, at special sales oonducted for the purpose. For years along the lines of the latter road, Industrial Agent Judson has been experi menting In the matter of grasses, with a view of ascertaining what kinds would grow best In the more arid portions of the state and prove valuable forage plants for feeding stock. The result of these experiments has proven most grati fying, and the people of Oregon will reap great results therefrom. MAY PE WAR Turks Assault French Ambassador ' (Scrlpps-McRae News Association.)

Mr. Miller served as Senator from New York from 18S1 to .,18f?,, .being defeated a year later for the Governorship, of that state' by David B Hlllj. Democrat. Presi dent Harrison carried' that state that year by a sweeping majprtty. Senator Miller was formerly engaged In the manufacture of paper mill machtnery and pulp paper. He filled orders for- the equipment of the first pulp mills on- the Pacific Coast. Th Senator was one of the most important characters in the advocacy of the Nlcr- nragua canal and he was connected with the company when it was first organised. He toured this coast in 1890, when he was president Of the company, speaking at every point of Interest In favor of the project . , .

One of the most noted personages in th United States today accompanies the party. This la the Hon. Frederick W. Seward, of Montrose bn the Hudson. Mr. Beward Is the son of ex-Secretary of Bute W. H. Seward, who served In the Cabinet of President Lincoln. Frederick W. Seward was the assistant Secretary of State -during the time, and bears the. dis tinction: of having! servedin the some olficlal capacity under Lincoln, Johnson and 'Hayn. Mr. Seward has visited the Pacific Coast before, having been in Alaska 83 years ago. Just after Jhe com pletion 'of the negotiations by his fafher whereby the1 United States became the owner of the Alaska territory. Mr. Seward's return to Alaska at this time, while being generally for pleasure, carried with It something more Import ant He has always been a Arm believer in. the practicability, of establishing tele graphic .communication,, between the two hemispheres, and his visit here at this time, has been, with the (dea in view vof further, . satisfying himself. In, this regard. The development-of the past few years in the Alaska .country makes such, an un dertaking only the easier, pi accomplish ment. - There,, now., fjejnalus, a dstance ,pt Only a few, hundred miles In the Russian territory, and an, etiual .(dJaUuica on,, pur own hemisphere to be covered, and, he believes the undertakings can be accom plished. The Russian government has Signified Its willingness to assist and Mr. Seward is anxious to-ee -the matter push ed to the front. With reference to history in regard to the assaslnation ot . President . Lincoln,. Mr. Seward Is one of the most important characters. He wears the evidence of his exrertenoes of that historio day on his forehead, where a vacuum la the skull two inches long and an Ineh tn width by half an Inch deep mark the spot where the butt end of the revolver, in the hand of Assassin .Payne, left Its impress. Payne was the accomplice of Wilkes Booth, in their attack on the President ar.d tbe' Secretary of State. ( Frederick W. Seward was in the rbora at the time his father's life was threat ened' by the attack of Payne, who thought at first he succeeded in h!s desire., Mr. Feward, who f-aught to defend his father, immediately was, attacked and brutally beaten over the head. Mr Seward talks of his experiences at that time In a man-, ner which carries interest with It. The visitors will leave tonight for Spo kane, thence to Yellowstone Fnrk for a short tour.
