R. & N. Demon ' stration Train Is "A Crop on Every Acre Every Year" Means Increased Tonnage. By F. D. Pasley. Demonstration Train. Kn Route, Con Ann Or. March 29. Tonnaee a rail road' sustenance. It makes prosperity. Jt builds cities. What an epic Is con- ' talned In those seven letters T-O-N-N-A-Q-E. Millions have been expended to secure It. Men have gambled and fought and died for It As In the days Of the golden fleoce It has lured men across mountains, rivers, deserts and , seas lured men to build, railroads Into nature's most remote spots. And time only adds to the potency of the lure, - for tonnsge In unreckoned quantity still ' awaits the coming of the railroad, espe cially In the Pacific northwest. The slogan of the Oregon Railroad & Navigation company's demonstration train ia "crop on every acre every year." Which means more tonnage. That Is a part ofithe demonstration train's mis sion more tonnage; to teach the farmer to get-the maximum yield from every acre. If the farmer works the soil to Its limit he's going to ship more produce; the O. R. A N. Is accordingly going to put on additional equipment and mora men to handle It Increased busi ness1; the city man is going to be en abled to buy cheaper groceries, etc. And there you have It prosperity. 80 the demonstration train is a rather vital proposition after all. Train s SnooassfnL. This "college on wheels" institution Is comparatively new (the present Is the eighth trip), and yet already abundant proof la at hand to show that the movement Is successful. The strongest evidence 1 the heavy and rapidly In creasing demand for the Canadian field pea, which, the college experts advise as .,' a rotative crop. This pea Is hardy, Is easily grown in Oregon, and makes a superior faed for hogs. Two year ago, when the train first began Its trips, the Canadian field pea was compara tively unknown in Oregon. . Now It 1 In general use. Traffic Manager R. B. Miller of the . Oregon Railroad &. Navigation company, first conceived .the Idea of cooperating with the farmer in those sections trib utary to his line. Three years ago he commissioned A. A. Morse,, who Is con ducting the demonstration train on Its 'present trip, to consult with college farming experts relative to a plan by which the farmers might be reached. It was decided to send out a special "lec ture" train. Two years ago last fall the train went out, making a tour of the p. n. & N. lines in eastern Washington from Col fax to Tekoa. Then followed trips Into eastern Oregon. The fifth tour of the demonstration train was made through the Willamette valley. Last year It ran through the Rogue and Umpqua river valleys. iTrom On Oar to Seven. The train has gradually evolved Into one. of the finest Institutions of its kind In the world. It is a far cry from one "lecture" ear to a seven car, $10,000 train. Tet that Is the transition In two years. Each year, the railroad company expect to add to the train's equip ment. Corporations may he "soulless," but they have brains that work about 25 hours each day. The railroad company figures that as an investment the dem onstration train will begin In a few years to pay dividends of about 101 per cent. This result will be brought about in a variety of ways, for the Influence of the train cannot be measured by a given standard. To Make Fanner Think. Professor Scudder, agronomist of the O. A. C. experiment station, gave the best Interpretation of the aim of the demonstration train when he said: "if we can make the farmer think, then we are well satisfied." "jtaaklng the farmer think," embraces a wide scope. It means diversified farming, rotative crops, and last and perhaps most Important, Intensified farming. The collugo experts lay great est utress upon the subject of Intensive farming. It la obvious, as they declare, that Oregon can not rearh its highest otnge of development until Its viist deniain shall hiive been rut Into five. 10 and "0 a re farms. And as evidence that their teachings are not In vain, they point to the Wil lamette valley and to the Htari field and Hermlston sections. Small tract farms now dot the major portion of the Wil lamette valley. Adjacent to Rtanfteld. In Umatilla county, are 25.000 acres, which have been subdivided Into five, 10 and SO acre tracta In the Hermlston vicinage are 22.000 acre, devoted te the small farm unit. Estimating two persons to each acre, according to a recent census of eastern Washington and Oregon, the 47,000 acres contiguous to Stanfleld and Hermlston will eventually mean a population of 94.000 people. Bo. In the ultimate, the demonstration train's work will result in increased population. Bane of Land Hog. Increased population will not come In eastern Oregon, however, until the land monopolist's clutch is shaken loose. Maybe legislation will be necessary to loo.sen the clutch. In fact, there are many voters in eastern Oregon who, de clare emphatically that they would wel come an opportunity to cast a ballot on till, IOIIU 1UU1UIII. Umatilla will serve as well as any of the eastern Oregon counties to illus trate to what extent the state's develop ment Is being retarded by the land mo nopolist. There are 1.920,000 acres of land in Umatilla county. Estimate 2S0O acres per capita and you obtain a very conservative estimate of the situation In Umatilla. Umatilla's farming population showed a heavy decrease In 1909, due to the absorbing of the smaller farms by the large land owllprs. When the farming area of Umatilla, Wheeler, Gilliam, Union, Haker. Wal lowa, Morrow and other counties Is worked to the limit of Its yield ca pacity, O. R. A N. stock will osr to hitherto unthonght of altitudes. When that day comes the small farmer will predominate In eastern Oregon. Also, about that time, the demonstration train as an Investment will have begun to pay those 101 per cent dividends. (trntUd rresa Lested Win.) Belllngham, Wash., Match 29. With the arrival of Hilly Sunday still a month away, Relllngham Is split by a bitter fight over the sensational evan gelist. "The religion of Sunday is merely a veneer, with commercialism' the real underlying motive," declared Mayor J I'. Demntton lust night, In vetoing an ordinance permitting the erection of a temporary tabernacle within the fire limits for the Sunday meetings. The mayor added that Funday's pur pose was "to hypnotize the people of Belllngham out of thousands of dollars to take back east with him, br playing on their emotions and superstitions." He grilled local ministers for aiding the movement. Referring to the statement that Clar ence Harrow, who it Is reported will come to Relllngham to take an opposite stand to Sunday, the mayor said: "These two Jawsmlths, working at close range for the money there Is in it for them, seem to make all other things subservient to their pockets." Classed. With Carrie Nation, He then referred to the announcement tnat Carrie Nation was also on the road here and characterlred the trio as "three notorious characters." The ordinance waa passed over the mayor's veto by the council, which takes an opposite stand from the board of public works, which recommended that the permit be refused. The building will be begun today. TAFT HAS A NARROW ESCAPE FROM INJURY New York, March 29. Circumstances attending a reported narrow escape of President Taft from injury In his au tflmobile called for a police investigation today. The president was riding toward the Pennsylvania ferry at the foot of Twenty-third street when an Eighth avenue car started to cross Twenty third street between the president's machine and that of his police escort. The president's chauffeur gave the steering wheel a twist that caused the auto to lurch to one side. The street car brushed against the tonneau of the presidential auto and both were going at such a speed that they scraped sides for nearly half a block. The police secured the number of the car and of the motorman but beyond lodging formal complaint with the com pany It is jiot likely they will take further action. MARATHON DANCING UNDER BAN AT FRISCO (United Pres Iaard tVlre.) Ran Francisco, March 29. Marathon dancing In San Francisco Is doomed After two exhibitions. In which several couples broke all existing world's rec ords for continuous dancing, the super visor have put their feet down hard and declared that dancing over the long distance route Is not an "exhibition of skill, and Is not decent." When the ordinance came up for pas sage Into print. Supervisor Herget said: "I am In favor of passing this, be cause we ought to save these fools from themselves. This marathon danc ing Is no test of skill or science or pluck. The exhibitions are fierce, and there Is no sense to it. All they do Is to see which couple can shuffle around the longest." (United PrMi Leuee Wls t . Beattlo, Waah., March 28. Cruelty coupled with drunkenness formed the baslo charge In all except SI Of the 1281 divorce cases Initiated In King county in 1909, according to the figures of the county clerk, turned over to Judge A. W. Frater of the superior court today to be used in his campaign for belter divorce laws. Irunkenness was the charge tn 110 rases and only a sprinkling of those alleging cruelty fail ed to mention drink as a contributory cause. "I regard the record as most disgrace ful to the state," said Judge Frater to day. f'Of course, many of the cases originated outside of the state but cnougtW are left to blush for. Ry reason of quiv close proximity to British. Co- lumlba the King county court house Is made a clearing house for matrimonial troubles from over the line.
