The cam , paign for more hogs la on. The day of Importing trainloadp of swine from the central states Is drawing to a closn. Oregon, Washington and Idaho are to be aroused from,, the lethargy which lias caused farmers to look with uncon ' cerh upon the livestock business. , A conference. helfl here was attended by agricultural . college officials, rail' 1 road" men and commercial club repre sentatives, sR A. Smith of Spokane was elected permanent, chairman and C. C: Chapma of Portland ; secretary. The conference unanimously passed resolu Hons recommending a campaign of edu cation and cooperation among the people or me nortnwest. Agricultural y colleges and , experi mental -stations of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana agreed to adopt the recommendations made by the Oregon Railroad & Navigation i company, : the Great Northern, North Bank and North em Pacific railroads, through their rep resentatives, agreed to do their part by specializing hog demonstration , on their trains. J;w Professor Chaw Speaks. - "'"It is little short of a crime that the farmers' of the Pacific northwest are . neglecting the hog Industry, one of their greatest sources of profit. said Pro fessor A. W. Shaw, the venerable Min- ' jiesota experiment station director. "There Is no part of the country better- for. pork production and dairying than the Paclf lo northwest. Hogs can be raised here for less than 8 cents a pound on alfalfa and grains, and sold for 86 V to -.110 a hundred weisrht." with every I rroartect that the selling price will not go lower. Pork will be dearer, not cheaper. Tou can raise hogs at a less cost than can be done in the corn belt One of the reasons Is that while cholera costs the corn belt hog raiser 20 per . Cent loss and it is hard for him to fight It, you have no trouble coping, with this Area malady owing to your climatic - advantages, ....'Ehe . safest lines tt agriculture are hot .fruit growing and wheat raising, i much as you are to be commended for ' your progress in those two branches. . .The safest line is the- livestock Industry. lMucation is .. necessary in order to . " demonstrate the most profitable meth ods, and there Is no undertaking more important for the permanent welfare f or Washington than fostering nog rais P Ing and dairying." Miller Predicts Immigration. - . R. B. Miller, general traffic manager i of the Harriman lines in Oregon and Washington, said: I; 'There will be 3,000,000 Increase of population in the Pacific coast states in the next 10 years, and of this Wash- ington wiU . get 1,000.000, practically I doubling tne population or the state. 'J Methods of agriculture must be lm- f proved or this population cannot be ab . soi Dea 10 Deal aavantnge. uur com- Jpany will . cooperate In demonstrating J the profits in growing hogs, as we be f ileve it is essential that the Industry I be developed.";::,' , ry,: ' ; M. J, Co stella, assistant general traf- r fic manager of the Great Northern ralK f 'Way, said: '.' i "Results from our: demonstration v trains abundantly, bear "out all that is .' claimed, both as to the necessity, of further education and tne profits reaped f by farmers who grow hogs according to ' proper -methods. Our-company will not be outdone in its extension of this ,. WOrk." " . :'- Time" Is Ammiolotts. " Professor W. T. Shaw of the Pullman station said: "The time for a campaign is ripe. We don't want to get the idea that we must hammer the farmer or try to force him to engage in hog rais ing. What we must do is to cooperate , with him and present the facts so ho tan use his .own judgment y Farmers are no thickheads show them and they - will ralse hogs as successfully as is Cone In theneast" Professor 'W..t Carlyle of the station - at Mosoow said: - ' "We are up against a serious problem. and demonstration and. education are r necessary- As the range of prices of , meat products and general farm pro . ducts widens the farmer will see the advantage of growing stock, but we must aid him in presenting facts as to method. There 1s no- place so good as right .here for hog production. Iowa has never equalled the northwest in low cost .ef fattening." DEDICATE-$50,000 ' DEPOT NEXT MONDAY Medf ord. Or., Oct 8.

(Special Dispatch to The Journal. 1 Castlerock, Wash., Oct.,, 8. A. peculiar geological phenomena, developed in the Huntington coal mine when one" of the miners accidentally "shot" down the roof and discovered a vein of coal above the vein which has1 heretofore been worked. An Investigation 'showed the top layer to be more than seven feet In thickness, and of a better quality than that previously mined. At the facing of the present slope the sand roof be tween the old and new veins is less than six Inches In thickness, and every indi cation Is that this sand seam will dls appear very rapidjy, leaving a IS foot vein of pure coal. ' The new vein Is of the best quality of lignite, and the finding of it is con sidered a "strikte" by Mr. Miller, who has leased the property. When asked about It, Mr. Miller said: "We consider ourselves exceptionally fortunate In finding this new vein of coal. It seems peculiar that we should find so much and such excellent coal In the top; . but It Is there, lust the same. The discovery of it means that we are now on a footing to compete with any of the coal operators in this section. I have my hands on some big orders and will start shipping coal to Portland as soon as the river rise. This new coal justifies a better price than we are getting for it here in Castlerock, but we would like to feel that the citizens wero back of us in the enterprise, and will continue to deliver a far better quality oi coal at the same price."
