TO AID OREGON
A'
N IMPORTANT step in the In
terest of the poultry industry
in Oregon is about to be taken.
The annual : income from the
industry is estimated at $5,000,000.
All conditions considered, it ought
to be a great deal more. It is $35,'
floo.ooo to $0,000,000 m Iowa. It
'la almost as much in Missouri and
is fast approaching that aggregate
. in Kansas. ' The area of Oregon is
auuku s'eai-er. maaf conditions are
more favorable for the industry. The
climatic conditions are infinitely su
nerlor. Th snftir wlnt
temperate summers are an advan
tage ; of much , consequence. Yet
Oregon is an importer of poultry and
. poultry products from some of these
states. The annual aggregate Is
only about one eighth. A system
atic effort to change (he activity for
the better In Oregon has been under
taken. , At the head of the plan is

best known poultry experts in the
country He Is in very high favor
with the agricultural department at
Washington as a result of his re
search, work, and publications. His
services have been sought at numer
ous experiment stations and agricul
tural colleges. When he cams to
the Oregon Agricultural college, a
little more than one year ago, other
offers were open to him, hut he se
lected this state because he thought
the field a peculiarly fruitful one for
development of a most successful
poultry industry. He has already
done much in attracting attention to
Improved ; methods. In the present
effort he 'is getting into direct 'touch
with the farmers of the state
through an extensive correspondence.
Through the medium of circulars and
the state newspapers, 25 questions
are bping asked of farmers with ref

publican of this state would be the
real, conscientious first choice of all
the Republican, members of the leg
Islature, or even of a majority of
them? -Not one. If In a caucus a
candidate for senator Is nominated
by a bare majority, do the minority
members vote for their choice? No
therefore do they violate the const!
tution and are they guilty of trea
son?
The people's remedy is to change
the constitution, says Mr. D'Arcy
But they can't. The senate will not
submit a constitutional, amendment
and legislatures controlled by t
party machine will not pass the nec
essary resolution. For many years
the people have been asking for this
change, and could not get it; hence
they are fully1 Justified in taking the
matter into their own hands and
providing their own, remedy, as they
have, done in Oregon. "If this be
treason,' make the most of It."
A NO-NONSENSE JUDGE
TJDGE CRANE, who Is presid

Hains, has occaslonallr fired
down to the defendant's lawyers
fog-dispelling judicial declaration
that harmonizes with common sense
as well as law. For instance, he no

that what the woman in the case,
Mrs. Claudia Hains, had done, was
no part of the case and could not be
Injected Into It though according
to one report all this evidence can
be brought in by an Indirect route.
It was too much to expect that the
judge, with higher courts to con
sider, would rule that however
wicked and false to her marriage
vows the Hains woman had been,
her actions furnished no excuse for
the killing of Annls and could not
he even Indirectly Inquired into
though he seemed to recognize this
as the right rule. It would Indeed
be a good, healthy doctrine to be
declared from the bench. If all the
stories told to Peter C. Hains were
true and he believed them, they
should furnish no Justification for
the murder of the woman's fellow
sinner. As to. her being led astray
by him, he being solely to blame, this
