, (Journal .Special Correspondence.)
UNION, Or., Aug. 15,-One of the most
'nteresting institutions at Union is the
State Experiment Station. It is located
Mi the tract of 620 acres of land that
vas purchased by the state for a branch
asane asylum. Falling to secure the
branch insane asylum it was. turned
Tver to the state a little' over a year ago
, o be used as a branch experiment eta
don to be conducted in connection with
3ie Agricultural College of Corvallls,
Jregon. A neat brick building costing
7.500 was erected on the grounds. When
he land was turned over-a considerable
lortion of It was unfit for use for farm
Ejf purposes' as it overflowed.
DRAINED THE FARM.
Last winter a mfle and three-quarters
of ditch was dug with an average depth
oi three feet and nine Inches. It was
dug at a very slight cost to the state
and has rendered every acre susceptible
ot cultivation. A considerable portion
of the land consists of peat land which
is considered one of the best soils as
It Is almost inexausttble in lis fertility.
A soil containing much humus does not
wear out readily and contains a great
amount of the elements or plant food.
At present 100 acres are In use for ex
perimental puriKjses. One of the most
important experiments, locally, Is the
TESTING OF SUGAR BEETS.
It is estimated that sugar beets cost
from 35 to NO per ton to raise. This
am includes the rent of the land or the
ll.terest on the capital Invested, the t;ost
ef the seed, the labor of cultivation and
the cost of transportation to the factory.
Farmers receive Ji.00 per ton for their
beats delivered at the factory. From 7
to 18 tons
of susar beita are raised to
the a ore. "Toe faimiors do not begin to

Then the present method of cultivation
is very wasteful. In place of drilling. In
the seeds and afterwards weeding out
the surplus plants they should be sowed
in hills. We find that this effects a
saving of seven-tenths of the seed. An
other point in
FAVOR OF HILL SOWING
is this: The potash salts or alkali works
to the top and forms a crust which a
single beet finds difficulty in penetrating.
When they are sown in hills a cluster
of young beets lifts the crust with ease.
Then the system of cultivation with u
hoe is drudgery and results In a useless
loss of time. We use a tool I recently,
Invented called the "scorcher." To my
question,
"WHAT IS A .SCORCHER,
und if it so good why don't you patent
it'" Mr. Leckenby responded: "I never
patent anything and I have Invented a
good many labor-saving devices. I be
lieve In working for the good of all and
not, by patenting an" article, placing it
ouf of the reach of those who need it
most. The man who lightens the burden
of labor ia a public benefactor, while he
who restricts the use of labor-saving de
vices is not. Here is the scorcher. It
will cost a farmer not to exceed half a
dollar and will do better work and three
times as much as a hoe with a tithe of
the muscular exertion."
Many very simple and effective and
easily made tools are used on the ex
periment farm.

THE EXPERIMENTAL FARM
will huncst large amounts of seed this
year of various grains 'and grasses.
Much of it Is for free distribution to
farmers. There will be at least a ton
of Oregon brome grass seed for free dis
tribution. It Is a very hardy grass of
great nutritive value. Last winter the
Oregon brome grass wns choked out by
mustard and wild oats. The frosts kill
ed the. weeds and did not injure the
brotnerass in the least. "We are hav
Ing excellent success in Improving th
lawn and hay varieties of blue grass ana

pospulum will be very useful as a fo:--age
grass for swampy lands.

experimenting -with since witty excellent
results, vvnen i expressed my surprise
at the remarkable results attained, foi
example a self-rooting variety from the
native brome grass, Mr. Leckenby said:
"The law of plant variations Is not a
long and gradual growth but under new
and favorable conditions of development
along the line of Its Inclination new and
better forms result. We have evolved a
valuable stolerlferous variety from the
third generation of the brome. Take a
seedling apple or cherry, each treet aris
ing from the seeds of the long-cultivated
parent tree may be different yet theli
progeny will be identical with .their
parent through succeeding generations.
Each variety is true to its own func
tion. For example the Baldwins will all
bloom the same day If situated under
circumstances at all similar."
The experiment station Is a very valu
able thing toi Eastern Oregon for under
the competent management of Mr.
Leckenby, valuable experiments In
grasses suitable to arid and semi-arid
lands are being made.

DEPLORABLE
CONDITION
City Engineer Elliott Found Saffi
vac's Gulch Bridge Ready to
Tumble Now Closed.
City Engineer Elliott shivered when he
discovered the deplorable condition of the
bridge spanning Sullivan's Gulch on
Grand avenue. This bridge, as was found
to be the case with many' others, had
not been Inspected for five year. Mr.
Elliott took up this work soon after tak
ing office and has method 'of' inspection
has been very thorough. He first bored
Into the supports of the Sullivan's Gulch
bridge with an augur and found that
only a shell of solid wood on the out'
side held them together. He then placed
a pail of -water, level full, on the bridge,
and when a City & Suburban car crossed
the structure Its vibrations almost
emptied the bucket This was repeated
with a can oil and the rotten condi
tion of the bridge was so apparent that
all traffic over it was immediately
stopped. The roadway is now stoutly
barricaded and until it is rebuilt street
cars and all other travel will be prohib'
lted from using It.
The Sullivan's Gulch bridge is more
than 75 feet above the bottom of the
gulch and had it tumbled down at a
time when a loaded car was crossing !t
there is no telling how many lives would
have paid the penalty of some one's neg
lect.
There are many other similar structures
in like condition.
ORDINANCES
ON SIDEWALKS
Board of Public Works Scorches
Its Fingers With It, Then Lets
the Matter Drop.
"It Is my opinion that from the mo
ment the cement sidewalk ordinances be
came laws, It was unlawful to lay
wooden walks within the prescribed dis
tricts." said C. A. ?ogswell, member of
4.he Board of Public Works, at a meet
ing of that body yesterday. "The ordi
nance prohibits laying new wooden
walks within a certain area. It makes
no difference, then, whether permits
had been previously Issued or not. wood
en walks cannot lawfully be laid after
Its passage and approval by the, mayor."
These remarks opened up a small
flood of oratory, the question becoming
more and more complex as It was dis
cussed. It was agreed, however, that
the signing of the ordinance should have
been the signal for immediate cessation
of construction of plank sidewalks In
the territories covered by the two ordi
nances. Then there was a dilemma. Discus
sion of the subject revealed the fact, that
no provision of the new ordinances em
powered the City Engineer to enforce
his notifications to buildor repair ce
ment walks, and tluit such Improvements
must be Initiated by tle City Council by
the tedlouB and cumbersome methods of
resolution end advertisement, as now
prevails In the case of street Improve
ments. A remedy for the omissions in
the ordinances was not discovered, and
as though it were a hot iron, the side
walk discussion was suddenly dropped,
and the Board proceeded to the consid
eration, of other subjects.
The net result of the whole talk Is
that the public is Informed that the
sidewalk ordinances cannot be enforced
except by resolution of the Common
Council and tidvertlsemcnt, and that,
then, the proposition may be kiiled by
n-morratrance of abutting- property own
err. It loii!;s, therefore, ns though the side
walk ordinances have left the subject
of such improvements in worse hape
than ever.
t'ouncllmin Runnlin and Bentley, char
ting about the ordinance today said:
"Thr nvv ordinances ae Identical wlt:i
the old one, except that either cement,
vitrified brick, re-pressed paving brick oi
asphalt is to be used Instead of plankc.
If the former -ordinance Is good, those
are likewise good. This prattle about
them may remilt in delay und confusion.
That Is all. It Is unfortunate, perhaps,
that the subject war, broached by tin
Board of Public Works. No good cancome
of it. The Council has no desire to work
hardships on any one. but citizens will
find that this ordinance will be enforced
to the letter."
George T. Mycps was at the City En
gineer's office this morning attempting to
have the. hazzy sidewalk atmosphere
cleared away. An the Board of Public
Works dropped the matter exactly where
It found it, ftlr. Myers was compelled to
depart unsatisfied. He is building a
wooden sidewalk at Tenth and Davis
streets, and permit secured since the.pas
sage of the cement ordinances, and wa
anxious to know If he could proceed. He
wilU do so without further enquiry.
Farmers in a Pig Hunt.
Warren, Mass., residents last we'ek
had an exciting pig hunt as a result of
the wreck of a freight train. Nine ears
of hogs were overturned. When the cat
tle cars were overturned the pigs se
cured their freedom and made their way
into fields, where they spent the night.
They began to search for food and by
daylight the process of rooting up crops
ami destroying gardens was well under
way. The farmers wera furious. By
noon a considerable part of the popula
tion was engaged In rounding- up the.
animals. Haskell Underwood did the
most efficient work, his recoM being 132

SECURING EVIDENCE
Police Methods of Forcing a Con

The Journal Is in receipt of a com
munication in reference to a practice
adopted by officials of police departments
and detective agencies to secure evidence
and Information of importance to be
used in the capture or conviction of crim
inals. The query is self-explanatory as
follows: '
"To the Edltor-Recent dispatches re
porting the Bartholin murder case, Chi
cago, speak of Thompson, one of the sus
pects, as having 'become almost a physlr
cal wreck, under the sweat-box ordeal,'
and afterwards as pacing his cell In a
nervous frenzy.' Please inform me ex
actly what is this 'sweat-box' torture
and .by what right. In this land of so-
called freedom and 20th century clvllixa
tlon, suspected persons possibly InnO'
cent are subjected to Its horrors.
"M. B. C."
NATURE OF THE SWEAT-BOX.
The so-called "sweat-box" system has
been In vogue since the dawn of civili
zation. It is a method whereby involun
tary information of any character is se
cured ,from a person. In ages past the
measures adopted to achieve this end
were by physical torture of a barbarous
character. In many Instances death was
the penalty of silence or denial, even If
the victim under suspicion was Innocent.
In the early history of the New Eng
land states Instances are on record of the
torturing, even to the extent of death,
of persons accused of witchcraft who re
fused to confess that they were guilty
of the charge against them. Thia Is an
example of the "sweat-box" system of
the past.
LITTLE BODILY VIOLENCE.
Today the measures have been modi-
fled, to the extent that the victims are
rarely subjected to bodily violence. The
'swent-box" practice In ordinary eases
consists of a rigid cross-examination, and
If this Is Ineffective, coercion and threats
are adopted. If the prisoner .s one ac
cused of an exceptionally bad crime, and
the facts at hand point strongly to his
guilt, and he maintains a sullen silence
or makes statements which are known to
be false, sometimes more drastic means
are adopted.
SOI.lTARi CONFINEMENT,
the dark room, or the bread and water
diet are often employed and in many ,
cases bring about the desired results.
In any criminal case the authorities
make an effort to extort a sonfesslon from
the man under arrest. With the know
ledge gained by them In the Investiga
tion, supplemented by information fftom
the prisoner, evidence Is secured which
facilitates the conviction and attains the
aim of the law and justice.
HERE IN PORTLAND.
In the local police department harsh
treatment Is never adopted. This rule
holds good with the great majority of
officials in the land. An occasional of
ficer may allow his zeal for conviction
to overcome his sense of humanity, and
Inflict physical or unusual mental tor
ture on his victim. These things are not
provided for by any law, neither are
they sanctioned by the public nor the
more Intelligent pence guardians. In this
connection an official Is as amenable to
the law as a private individual would be,
did he take a similar course ot action
nd abuse a fellow -being.
Only yesterday a confession was se-
ured from Harry Williamgoh, to a series
f hold-ups and burglaries, by Chief Mc
.aucblln and detectives, through the
'sweat, box' system.
Several years, ago the notorious Tracy
was landed In the city Jail by Dan AVel
ner. after a desperate gun fight, on the
uspkion of being responsible for a ser
ies of hold-ups. No evidence sufficient
for a conviction was at hand. Tracy
and his partner, Merrill, were sweated'

Irrelevant nature secured to make the
case against themomplete. .

GREAT CROWDS
Attend Finish of the Great Show
... Bengal Tiger Born Yesterday.
-The circus is over and everybody is
happy. Ringllng Brothers surely hava
occasion to feel satisfied with what
Portland has done and thoso who went
are more than pleased with the great
big show. It was a success in every
sense of the word and no better P
forming or greater feats ot skill and!
daring can be asked.
It is worth the whole price of admis
sion to see the ponderous elephants gs
through their antics like a small boy
and to observe what evident lntsrest
they take in their work. The horses had!
the real coon jingle as they danoed the
cake walk and the performing seals were
a show in themselves.
There were crowds at every perform
ance and they stayed until the last
clown had been slapped in the face and
klcke'd Into almost Insensibility. It was;
an entertainment from start to finish.
A tiger cub was born yesterday and 14
a source of great Interest because It Is
very rarely that these little fellows are
born In captivity. An eager crowd"
stayed around the mother's cage trying
to get a view of the bit of life. It tsj
understood that It will be named altes
the city of Its birth.
