Last December, Hartsetl waa charged
with murdering his wife,- sister of Miss
Casey, whose body waa found On the

William Casey Is unable to give any

Citizens Turn Out by Hun

strations and Listen to
Lectures From 0. A. C
1,000 at Independence.
By Ralph A. Watson.
Shedd, Or.. Nov. 7. Continued Inter
est is manifested by people of the upper
valley In the work of the Southern Pa
cific demonstration train. This morning
early the train left Corvallis- and made
ltslrst stop at Albany, where there was
a crowd gathered to witness the demon
strations. The aecorid stop of the day
was made at Shedd, where another in
terested audience gathered.
During the afternoon Harrlsburg and
JuncttowCItv will-be visited.
Tonight te -train will be taken to
Eugene, where Sunday will be spent In
tne arrernoon tne demonstration party
will be entertained at dinner by rail
road officials.
The weather has been unfavorable for
the past two days, the land being
shrouded In a cold damp fog. Despite
this the interest of the people has not
abated. .
At Independence yesterday afternoon
1,000 people were at the train to, hear
the lectures and see the demonstrations.
Great Interest was shown In the milk
ing demonstration and many questions
asked concerning the operation of the
vacuum milking machines used. From
the nature of the questions it Is safe
to say that several of the darry herds
surrounding Independence will become
accustomed to the mechanical milkmaids
within a short time. At Independence,
as at Dallas, the schools were dismissed
in order that the pupils could have an
ODDortunity to witness the demonstra
tions anrl honr the lectures.
At Wellsdale, in the heart of the big
farm section of the uoper vamey. mere
was a fair suted crowd gathered during
the late arternoon to see me aemuu
stratlons. Leaving Wellsdale the train
wa iikan to Corvallis where the ex
hibits were ODened from 8 o'clock to
8:80, in order that the people of that
city could have" an opportunity or see
ing what the men from their college
were showing to the people of the
country. A large number of the resi
dents of the city visited the train and
listened to the professors explain what
was being done by the train. After the
close of the demonstration the members
of the party from the agricultural col
lege spent the night at their homes.
We Want Many Terms.
"We want little farms and msny of
them. We want a family on each of
the farms, each farmer working accord
ing to the metnoas wnicn win give mm
the greatest returns from the soli -owned
bv him. This will mean population,
plenty and contentment. This will
mean the making of Oregon, of the Wil
lamette valley." In this wise does Dr.
James Withycombe, in charge or the
demonstration work now being under
taken by the Southern Pacific's special
train touring the valley, outline the pur
pose of the trip. And, continuing, the
man who has sDent 30 years and more
of his life working for the advancement
of the farming industry or Oregon il
lustrates the point he Is trying to
hammer home on the people of the state.
"In the Willamette valley were are
approximately 6.000,000 acres or till
able land," he said. "Only a dent has
been made In thin vast acreage with the
present population and the present
methods of cultivation. Every acre of
land in the Willamette valley Included
In this vast reach of 6,000,000 acres Is
capable of returning an annual income
of $100. Every- 20 acres Is capable of
supporting a family, not in comfort
alone but in luxury.
"These figures appear large for they
lead to the result that the annual In
come of the valley Is capable of being
raised to the grand total of $500,000,000.
But I am conservative In my statements
and contend that with modern methods

, (Special Diapatch to The Jonraal.)
Washington, Nov. 7. The forest serv
ice today announced the creation of
administrative districts to which, after
December 1, all business heretofore
transacted In Washington will be sent.
The district will Include stations at
Denver, Ogden, San Francisco, Port
land and Missoula
The creation of these administrative
districts means that the forestry busi
ness Will be conducted where It origi
nates instead of at long range as at
present, as the service is now man
aged, all matters of any importance
are passed on by the forest supervisors
to Washington. Matters of arbitration,
large land sales, etc., are not handled
by the local agents, but are conducted
from headquarters.
The new system contemplates a re
versal of this policy. The central of
fice at Washington will maintain an
inspection of the administrative offices,
but the details of the work will be left
to the district foresters.
im pcraonnei 01 ine new aisinci

E. T. Allen, .superintendent of forest
reserves lor tne district or Oregon,
Washington and Alaska, stated this
morning; that he knew no more about
the creation of the administrative dis
tricts than Is embodied In the above
dispatch. He said he knew that a num
ber of new men were coming from
Washington, but did not know their
names.
The national forestry reserve for this
district hag rented the entire fourth
floor of the new Beck building, with the
exception of four rooms which had al
ready been tatyen by the reclamation
service, and probably will take several
rooms on one of the other floors. For

and the rooms not yet occupied are be
ing fitted up in readiness for the ar
rival of the men from the capitol.

Looking up into the faces of nearly
400 enthusiastic men who were wildly
cheering him at the chamber of com
merce banquet last night, Jamee J. .Hill
realised the first of the fruits of hi
latest great railroad enterprise the al
most completed North Bank road. He
realised that Portland had perfect con
fidence in him as a man and as a rail
road builder.
A few minutes before, while Mr. Hilt
himself was ipeaklng. those at the ban
quet had realised with equal force that
the most Interesting figure in the rail
road world had as great confidence In
them and la the- future of Portland and
the Pacific northwest. ' It" -v was this
spirit of common confidence felt by
both Mr." Hill and his hosts that waa
the keynote of the banquet at the Com-

In his address, which la given In part
elsewhere, Mr. Hill told Portland 'why
he had coma He didn't announce any
plans of future railspad building, but he
told how more railroad lines could be
secured, and the way to cultivate the)

Primarily, Mr. Hill's talk was to
westerners and hence to vounjr men.
He discouraged the idea that a city
could ever be anything; but a market
place for the country. It is the wealth
of the country districts -of the farms -that
makes the wealth of the nation.
He declared that the United States Is
