The third n tl'ial Common waalth conference, under th usplce of the University of Or Run, began this morning with a lecture by Clara H. Waldo of Portland on " Step In, the .development of an ideal ,furat community iii Oregon." In 1 thl paper she kv .an enlighten Ing comparison f the Amwlcan and : .European, system of farming, showing the great waste In. Oregon methods be cause of laoK of ppeclallzing and useless expenditure 0f money for needless roads and fencing, Ehe quoted Hood River as ,an apprQuchtto the ideal In. that tha , fruit farmer jralaed fruit only and often did UQt. even Jive on M farm. This , latter idea he expanded greatly by laying that emaU cummunltiea of mod " . ern residences , with a school, athletic , field and .church, could be built at In-'--tervala convenient to the farming terri tory and that the farmer could go to , nd from his fields for bis .work and then, gain the advantages of both the . town and the country life. rawer Highways; Better Quality. : , The expenditure f funds for useless highways was also - discussed, , fewer . highways of a better quality being re- -. v quired,- ; In- conclusion the subject of railroad , domination . of transportation - rates was thoroughly,, . llscussed, and various plana proposed for the reduction of the.,:, high, " freight charges. Mrs. Waldo, emphasised the remark of W1K , liana MtMarray of the Southern Pacific .company, that. each new ettler in Ore gon w&a worth $500 annually, to the . company.--.in conclusion, she aaid that while the business of farming had ad vanced marvelouely in the lit IS years. It had not kept pace" with other lines- or Industry. i ) . H. H. Darnell of Oresham, lecturer ;of tha atate grange, led the discussion - which followed the address. He also - ( ' expanded on the community Instead of , the Isolated farm house as a means of preventing young people from going to the cities.-'; - f h, R. Alderman, state superintendent ,( of schools,, spoke concerning the mar velous growth of our school system, and especially of the county union high schools, v - He spoke In favor of the two bllla "before the legislature; one for the cut .; tlng of a school superintendent's terrl ,' tory to 40 school districts, and" the other . to make a state certificate good in any part of the United Btatas. V Tha second address of the day was by - Principal J. a V;' Butler of Monmouth, -who took for his subject thefresponal Ability of the normal school for rural - lite uplift, ; ! v . Tha afternoon session waa opened by the Associated Students of the Uni - verslty, when several prominent under graduates considered the students' ob , ligation to the commonwealth. .. Mrs. Evans Speaks. ' Mrs. Sarah A. Evans, president of tha i State Federation -of Women's clubs, ad dressed ihe Commonwealth Conference -'this afternpon: M'.?""1" , v- "Our mistakes oJ the past," she be gan, "have been largely because of want of cooperation, A gathering of this kind ehows that -w are- taking cognli .rance of pur.-past mistakes and It Is a , ' promise- of betters work for. the future, . each organisation .specializing, It Is a - coming together tot the future. . '- I quote from Mary K. Richmond, manager of, the charities, department of ; tne Russell-Sage Foundation fund: 'An other way Hif utrengthening the whole fabric of social TefSrm ls to study our , own work carefully at its points of in tersection with some other useful form of service and then do our utmost to strengthen It Just there'.-v- Mrs. Evans endeavored to show how . work In Oregon had been thwarted by organisations not working together. As ' an example she cited the difference of Opinion between our state health author . ltles and the dairy Interests, the women allowing their sympathies to Judge be tween the two whllo all th. lntersts siiould be correlated. v.: w v . , "I see two lions in the .way of these reformx, namely, . Ignorance .and Indif ference, the first of which the state unJ verslty should clear away and the sec ond obstruction, the aoclal organizations should clesr away. In showing these points of Intersection. I am "not prepared to.'joffer exact orspoeiflc instances, for this will have to be worked out gradual ly through Wise counsel, experience and professional service,.- I can- only Rive, as I say, a common starting point, being the Individual. I believe all will agree wltli me that no matter what our aim or object may be or along what line we specialise, we must begin with tho In dividual. ; Health Beforma Heeded. ."The avenues through which our unit ed .forces could. work or fight are bo many that in first considering the sub ject several things presented themselves as of paramount Importance. There is no"questlon about the reforms we need in our health regulations.. We must have our commissions if we are to have our cities beautiful. We must eliminate Jhe commercially prepared courses of study in cheap magazines if our women are to be well Informed. Of course, we need more libraries and every branch of our educational and public school work needs strengthening, whlfo a gen eral and more systematic Improvement must be made for civio Improvement. And there are many equally good and necessary things calling to us, but aft er all, these things. If we study them seriously, are but results and the time has arrived In the movement for social betterment " -, rwhat depipraoia social circumstance can1 be traced oirectiy ; to political conditions? - This does not mean In any sensa political parties, which are orig inally no more serious than a differ ence of .opinion. It 'became crime when Andrew Jackson promulgated the doc trine of 'to the victor belong the spoils.' A few evenings ago. judge Llndsey. In Portland Bpoke eloquently of the re sponsibility of the slate, but what Is the state but the administration of Its business for weal or wm of Its people? '- Ail Can Stand Together. This brings me to what I consider the most Important thing where united force could strengthen every force upon civil service reform. It Is a common ground upon which we all stand and 4 banner under which we could all flghj. To me it transcends all other calls upon our time and effort." Mrs. Evans gave a number of In stances of women who Were afraid to work on civil servlcs committees be cause they were afraid it was politics. "I am sorry to say there are many like them who have never been able tp spell out of civil service good cltisen shlp. I quote from Mr. Foltx, an em ploy of the United States treasury de partment, who asks If anyone even heard a father counseling his eon to adopt government service as a career Mr. Folts also asiys tnat our educators havo new possibilities set before them. There are today nearly 400,000 federal office holders, yet no higher institution of learning offers a course In civil serv ice. The resuit-or these conditions is that when a young man arrives at the age of legal cmxensnip, ne aoes one of two things: He eitner goes Into noli tics as a gamester or keepa entirely out because politics is too dirty for re spectability and one Is almost as repre hensible as tne otner. Tna Home Directly Affected. I recognize that the merit system Is a tremendous thing, but the pendulum started by Andrew Jacxson reached Its farthest Umlt.durlng our Spanish-American war when thousands, of our beat men . sacrificed through corruption in high placea. Since that time It has been a life and death struggle between -the protected Interests of the country and the common law makers. I cite the struggles of Dr. Wiley for pure food against the purveyors of prepared. food. This shows that it la not as hopele'ss as we at first think, and the reason we hear more of graft and malfeasance in office Is because It is Jarred loose In order to give the pendulum of honest movement a chance to swing back to plumb, and it is our plain duty to help clear the way. I suggest some plans of work beginning with a systematic study of civil service, supplementing the study with vislta to our institutions, a study of these institutions, how the officials are appointed and what the re quirements are. jsaS "These Investigations should be made carefully, intelligently and wisely, above all guarding every public utterance until we can speak with authority and In un mistakable terms. My observation as a public official has taught me that as much graft and corruption Is hatched by unjust; accusations as from any other cause. ' It Is the old, old story of try ing for the game if you havs the name.' In conclusion Mrs. Evans quoted John O. Holland's prayer for better cltlxen- ship.

Attorney H. IL RIddell rep resents Mr. young. The ,new owner of-the health resort has been in the sheep business In eastern Oregon the past few years, but recently moved to roruand. - CASES IN SUPREM I red A. Young, new proprietor of the Collins Hot Springs, failed to .find me poautlful stream of "naturally nested water coming fram sumerranenu depths," as he says was represented by C. T. Belcher, and lias started sun In the circuit court to recover 140,000 of the amount paid for the sanltarfum. The new proprietor did discover, how ever, he states in hl suit, that the water, la artificially heated by a clever device. - , Young began negotiations August zs, 1910, for the' sanitarium. He says ne listened to Belcher's claim that the me dicinal qualities of the water were due to the fact that thy came irom sucn ffreat deDth. and from sucn a noi place somewhere in the Interior of the earth that he had not exactly discov ered It. 'i. It was also related how the' water became so hot in the earth that It Sought a place on the surface of the earth, where It could escape and cool off. The site at the Collins Hot Springs was the best place the water could find, and soma man discovered the won derful curative powers it contained. , It was further explained to the prospect ive purchaser that the water had cured, hundreds of people of ailments too nu merous to mention, and had made the sanitarium a noted place for people seeking rest and recuperation. The new purchaser saw the pipe leading from the spring to the oath house, ana w how hot the water mslde made It. This was convincing, and on September 8 contract was mHde. In which TToung agreed to take over the santtflrlum with all the equipment. The price agreed upon was 152,260.' An option was. also secured from the O.-W. R. & N. upon the real estate upon which the . build ings were located. This option was" se cured for $40,000. On November JS Mr. Young took charge of the health reBort. He made an Investigation the next day, and talked to the engineer. The result of this Investigation, he claims, was that he found the temperature of the water to be only V0 degrees, and that it did not eome from such a hot place as rep resented by the former manager, who claimed the natural temperature to be 118 degrees. Mr. Young says he found the water was like other mountain water, and that a mechanical arrangement had been made by which the pipe carrying the water from the spring to the bath house was Incased In another plpe-ear-rying steam. The top tf the spring was eourely sealed over with cement and the place at whiTh the water entered the bath house waa also cleverly ar ranged so as not to disclose the steam ) pipe. This discovery exploded the, story told by -the former1 owner, says the plaintiff, and caused a depreciation In the value of the sanitarium. He In formed the former . proprietor, who failed to return any ojthe . purchase price. " "" In his suit filed today Mr. Young asks that Mr. Belcher return 140.000 on the ground that the sanitarium and equipment are not worth more than E - COURT NEXT WEEK (Bpacja! Dispatch The Journal.)
