THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. ' PORTLAND, MONDAY, EVENING. NOVEMBER 9. '1908. J FOREST CASH BANK First National Chosen by GpTernraent to Handle . Funds Heretofore Sent to Washington, I). C In J. creases Oregon's Reserve. 8lclI DliDKtrh to The lomiL) Washington, D. C. Nor. 9. The forest service has chosen the First National ' bank of Portland depos itary for the funds of the forest ervlee In Oregon. The First National bank of Portland, ; according to an announcement made this morning, has been appointed the , depositary of the fundi of the forest ervlcs for the district that embraces : .Oregon, 'Washington and Alaska, This. Is an added recognition on the part of the national government of - Portland's growing Importance from a financial standpoint. How much the' deposits of the, forest service will add to the already Immense worklna bal ance kept In the First National bank by the federal government is as yet prob 1 lematical, but it wiU undoubtedly be voiy cunauiernuio. v u ,- 'Hetr By stem Established. " IB. T. Allen, superintendent of f or i est reserves for this district, states , that he has received no official Infor mation on. the subject, but thinks he unaerstanas wnat tha new order means. Heretofore, ho says, the money result ing from the sale of forest lands, the rental of grazing lands, etc, has been transmitted by the. agents directly to ' the fiscal agent at Washington. But under the new order of things, begin ning December 1. 'When the administra tive rilfltrint mvmtmm. armim fnA .fu each district will have a fiscal agent of lis own. jur. Auen supposes that the iiinas neretorora transmitted to the Washington fiscal agent WIU be turned over to the district fiscal agent, and by him deposited In the local bank. The ' sums - realized from the sale of timber ;, lands, grazing, rentals, etc, amounted : for the year ended July 1, last, to over $200,000. And last year was a very - had year, on account of of th flnen cial depression.. It Is hot improbable that the total this year wlU be at least double that of- last year. - It Is probable also, that the (0 or more employes of the forest service who are to iiave quarter in the Beck build- ... ing. as well as forest ranters and other outside employes of the service In tfrhjej aistrioi wui nerearter be paid in checks drawn on the local bank, instead of in T'nlted States treasury warrants as heretofore. This will mean that many .thousand dollars will have to be kept on deposit In the local depositary for Jthis purpose. Altogether, it is not lm- . probable that the new order will have the effect keeping In Portland at : least half a million dollars that for merly had to be sent to Washington. The First National bank of Portland is a J ready tne united Btates depositary where tha government keeps its funds for the payment of wages and salaries for the various branches of the gov ernment In this part of tha country. The federal government keeps on hand in this bank a working balance of $1, 000.000 said to te the largest working nalanea kept in any bank In the United States. Thla amount will probably have to bo Checked against for the payment of United States soldiers. Dostoffica am. ployes, members of the lighthouse and life savins: service, and other fMnml employes in this section of the United States. To this is to be added now the forestry service. Portland is one of six western cities mat nave just been selected to have national depositaries for the forest service where funds are to be retained and paid out instead of their being transmitted to Washington.

There are scores of good comedies, but Mr. Ade's are easily among the very best of present- day productions that have no other mission than to amuse. Such a Blav Is "Just Out of College,' which Is the bill at the Baker theatre this week. It does not rank among the best that Mr. Ade has written,, but for all that, no more hilariously tfuiThy com blnatlon of pure, clean humor and good natured satire has ever been seen In this old town. Tha little play had the Pig audience at the Bauer last mgnt fairly doubled up with mirth from the time ths curtain went up on tha first act. There Is a ifalrly well-defined plot to the play, as in most or Mr. Ade s come dies, but Its strongest hold on the risi bilities of the audience la its marvelous fidelity to human natureAmerican human nature, Tha characters are peo ple .you meet every day and the things that they do are things that you your self have done, or seen done, a thou sand times.- The hero of the piece Is a young chap Just out of college, whose only assets are three suits of clothes, a banjo ana a most immaculate nerve, isawsrd Worthlngton Swinger, on the campus "Jiggsy," aspires to the hand of the daughter of a wealthy pickle manufac turer, who. In order to settle tha impu dent ambition of the college "youth, gives him a check for $20,000 and dis misses him with instructions to go get .a reputationin business or drop his suit at the end of three months. The college youth forms a partner- snip witn tne woman wno Kept he col lege ..boarding-house and goes into the pickle business In opposition to the trust, controlled Dy Beptlmus Pickering, the millionaire. Of course the play ends by ths pickle trust absorbing the Bingo ficKie company at a huge figure, and all ends Just as you would have it end. Ths company Is fully equal to the demands of the piece and is one of the most evenly balanced road companies seen nera in many days. William A. Mortimer as the college youth,' person ally.

Special DUpatch to Tbt Journtl.) Eugene, Or., Nov. 9. Another success ful and smiling day has been added to the record of ths Southern Pacific farm demonstration train. After i spending Sunday at Eugene, the train made an early morning run to Cottage Grove, where It was met by 1,300 people. Spe cial effort had been made by the farm ers of the vicinity to be present Ths school children marched to see demon strations and hear the lectures on diver sified farming. The train returned to Eugene at 11 o'clock,- where a second stop was made. Here 500 men gathered to see ths ex hibits. ' This afternoon- Springfield and Brownsville will be visited and the night will be spent In Albany. The tour of the train is attracting much attention and arousing great in terest among the farmers of the upper valley. .JJne never-ending cycle of crops moves the heart of the dairyman n-lad and the old cow yield an annual profit of $100, according to the calculations of Professor P. L. Kent, in charge of tha department of dairy husbandry of me uregon Agricultural college. Not only that, but it makes it possible for mo uniry rarmer to suDnort one cow on every acre of his land and brings to issue once more the slogan of the mem. bars of the Southern Pacific demonsta tlon train, "Smalt farms and many of Professor Kent helleves In tha small farm, in well-bred dairy stock, in the rotation of croDS. in Intensified mfhnrt in getting out of the land every ounce of product and cent of profit In it. He believes also that dairvlnar la to ha nna of the great Industries of the Willam ette vaney, and that the time is soon to pass when the average income from one cow is from $40 to $50 annually, as It Is at present. Modern methods will raise the standard of the cows used, will increase, the number and bring wealth anq population to tne vaney. Will Thrive Anywnare. "There 'is no one particular section of tne vauey peculiarly adapted to dairy ing more than another. That dairy in dustry will thrive In all parts of th valley, says Professor Kent In discuss ing the subject of dairying. "As a gen eral rule, however, the nearer Portland the farm Is located the better, for the reason that It will- bring the market nearer, enable the dairyman tn take sweet cream and milk to the market as well as butter fat, and make a saving in ireigni or express cnarges. "At .the present time," continued the speaker, the dairy business In the val ley Is more of a side issue than a main Issue, Men have a few cattle as an ad junct to their other farm interests oft ener than they devote all of their time to dairying. Because of this, largely, the average annual income from a Wil lamette vauey cow is irom $40 to $60. Xnoome Front Cowe. "Under the system1 of Intensified farm ing, making dairying the vocation and not the avocation, It is possible to make the maximum income average $100 to me cow, grading down Irom that figure In ratio to the exo4ince of tne hreed, the care and the thoroughness with which the crops of the farm are man aged. Under this system also it is pos sible for the dairy farmer to make ev ery acre of land support one cow, though to do this the land must be working all the time. As a maximum it is possible to make one acre support two cows, Dut to do this, in my judg ment, the conditions must be nearly ideal. The saier and conservative fig ure is one cow to the acre. "To secure the maximum of result It Is necessary to keep the land busy growing continuous crops. By planting vetcn ann rye in tne early rxil It is possible to have green feed for the nerds in early April. Following this crop with vetch and oats green feed is secured from May. Clover, or in .

Corn will carry the green feed along from the middle of August to the middle of Heptembcr or the.first of October. Kale will furnish green fodder from October 1 through the winter until April 1. Clover Crop. "In addition to the green fped, how ever, continued Professor Kpnt, "It Is well to have a small silo for the excess of the first clover crop, as a guard against excessive dry weather during juiy ana August - some nay snouia be raised, some roots such as carrots or turnips, to give variety. Of course to get the best results It must be understood that well-bred slock s raised and that close attention Is paid to business. "As an example of what con be done with high-grade cows, I can refer to the two cows carried on the train, one a Jersey and the other an Ayrshire. The nrst during 1906-7, In 12 months' time, gave a total of 6,859 pounds of milk and an estimated butter production of 11.73 pounds, f rom November. 1907 until the present. 1H4 months, the same cow has given 8,733 pounds of milk, and an estimated butter production of i.3o pounds. rne Ayrshire cow In .07-8 gave 11,769 nounds of milk, and stlmated 544.47 pounds of butter. Dur- ng the present year. 1908. -the same cow has given in H "months 8,207 pounds of milk and an estimated 349.29 pounds of butter, and is now milking an average of 25 pounds of milk dally. Great Dairy Center. Professor Kent believes that the 'Wil- lamelte valley Is to be a great dairy center. He believes, with all others who ave studied the suhlect, that the small farm scientifically handled is to be the method of the future rather than the large farm devoted to grain. He la preaching the doctrine of the small farm, not alone because It Is the mod ern and economic way, but because the small farm means the upbuilding of the Willamette valley and the enrichment of the state. Throughout the trip of the demonstration train the discussion of Professor Kent and his advice to the rarmers witn wnom ne nas come in con tact at the different stops, have be n llstened to w-ith eagerness. It is evi dent that th men of the valley are be ing awakened and are becoming ready to turn to the new methods of doing imngs, mus muing lur jinn advance ment of the state in population, pro ductivity and profit.
