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.

evening, having Just returned from a 10
day s' trip to Alaska. Mr. Miller Is accom
panied by a number of very prominent
people, who have', thoroughly enjoyed the

The party left Minneapolis on the 8th of

in President J. J. , Hill's special car. On

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 . , . '
The ex-Senator is as enthusiastic over a
canal route as.he .eyer was, and while
disappointed that his .former route' has
not been chosen, he expresses the hope
that there will be no. delay in carrying
out the work on the route decided upon
by Congress. -

AN HISTORIC VISITOR.
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

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

Seward is anxious to-ee -the matter push

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

Frederick W. Seward was in the rbora

at first he succeeded in h!s desire., Mr.
