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.

A grouchy, dyspeptio nation owes a

work as a playwright Of all those who
have attempted to "let a little sunshine
In," the long, hungry Hoosler boy who
first achieved fame through his "Fa
bles in Slang," and later established a
place for himself as a dramatist by
writing 'The College Widow," easily
stands at the head. 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

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

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

believes also that dairvlnar la to ha nna
of the great Industries of the Willam

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

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

possible to have green feed for the

falfa, will carry the cows until the mid
dle of June. Spring sown peas and oats
will bo ready In July. The second crop
of clover will furnish pasturage in the
latter part of July. 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
