tin: o: SURVEY OF oe couiuy locEPoswe Agricultural Department Has Nd Funds for Work at Pres ent; Need of Soil Analysis Recognized. ' - . , .' (Wiibtoxtoa Bnr of Tb Joarnat) Washington, March 17. -Although everyone admits that it would be ftod thing, and although the commercial bodies of Vancouver and Clarke county hv hMn worklor hard for It la con- Junction with Congressman Warburton, it must be said regretfully that there will be no soli survey for Clarke county this year. The reason given by the de partment of agriculture la that the tat of Washington will not cooperate In the work." " ' ' Professor Henry Landis, state geolo gist of Washington, haa been deslroua of having made a aoll aunrey of Clarke county, and January II he wrote to Congressman Stanton 'Warburton on this subject, saying: The people of Clarke county are very anxious to have a detailed toil sur vey made for them by the United States department of agriculture. I was through Clarke county last summer, and agricultural possibilities - In western Washington. , Throughout the county the soil is good almost everywhere, and there is very little waste land. , The soil Is variable in character from place to place, and a detailed survey should be made of it I nave every reason 10 ' believe that the federal bureau of soils will make aueh a survey If we make our request strong enough. I do not hesitate to say that such a survey will be of very great assistance and utility to Clarke county and Washington ; in general. I know from E. L. French of Ellsworth, and' others, that the repre sentative cltlsens of the county are highly desirous of having this work on dertaken. ", : ' . Representative Warburton replied that he thought the suggestion a good one, and that he would take the matter up at once with the department of agri culture. He did so, asking for a de r tailed soli survey of Clarke county. Later the Vancouver Commercial club, various granges, , commercial bodies and other organisations in Clarke coun ty, on Professor ; Landis' suggestion, wrote to Representative Warburton urging that the survey be made. Milton Whitney, chief of the bureau of sou surveys ox me department 01 agriculture, swrota to Representative Warburton under date of March 4 as follows: : ' , "This bureau haa been conducting co operative work with the stats of Wash ington for several seasons, having ac complished several large areas cover ing reconnaissance surveys, and we have had numerous requests for a detailed survey of Clarke county. The great demands for soil work will limit the work in many of the sections which we desire to survey, and I regret that it is impossible to promise the sur. vey of Clarke county at this time. shall be glad, however, to take this up at the earliest possible date." The congressman did not let the mat ter drop here, but continued to urge the desirability of making the survey until he was assured that nothing would be done this year.: : . t mm IlincohLhi.i FOLLOV 0REG0N7S LEAD Phil S. Bates returned yesterday from trip to Kansas, where he had been called to assist in perfecting organiza tion of the threshermen. an honor giv ing recognition of the splendid organ isation in this state. "Kansas has about 17.000 thresher- men, yet I found the old organisation with a membership of but 600." said Mr, Bates, In speaking of conditions as he fourfd them in the old grain grow ing state. "Here in Oregon we have 1262 threshermen and IS per cent of them members of the association. "The meeting ' was held at Wichita, and it became very enthuslastlo before the close, as the benefits of a good ac tive organisation and cooperation of fac tions and sections became realised, and think that from now on Kansas Will have one of the biggest associations of its kind., -i.,-. -A -. , -. . I met a number of people who had more' or less knowledge of Portland and Oregon, the greater number of them poorly posted, although they had been here some IS or 20 years ago. ' ' " "Well, I suppose that Portland is moving along all right," on of them said. - 'I suppose the cable line . run ning up the hill 4s still in operation. or perhaps you have mora of them now.' "Another who had been here about 15 years ago said he supposed our climate was very much colder now since the Japanese current had altered its course. 1 don t think there has been any change in the current during the past IS years,' I told him, "and the climate Is milder and better -today than ever. 'WelV be explained, 'I read in the papers a few years ago that the Japa nese current was . not running so close to the American shore, and I supposed it would have a material effect on your climate.' "These are only Illustrations to show how little the people in the middle states really know of Oregon and what erron eous impressions they sometimes receive from articles that should not be taken too seriously.,'.' -.: v.-' v ': .j:.:-..-) Kansas has good oountry roads and they, are " of Immense Importance Im portance that" we people of Oregon can not fully fathom until we see it with out own eyes." M SIE DECIDES TO REMAIN PORTLAND An invitation signed by 170 members of his congregation asking him to re main, has led the Rev. S. Earh Du Bois, pastor Of the Church of the Strangers, United Presbyterian, to decline the call he received last week from a Spokane church. Though the Spokane call car ried with it a flattering offer, the pas tor will remain in Portland at the same salary he has been getting. "I have decided to stay said Rev. Mr. Du Bois today, "Portland is pretty fine place, the best I have ever 1-een in, and I have been most forta nate in my congregation. When 170 of the members ,of my church signed the invitation asking me to remain, felt that I should do so." K, The - Invitation was prepared and rlsned Sunday night after the pastor's nnnouncement earlier In the day of the tall from Spokane. Not a single per son declined to sign and there would have been more names but some of the members could not be seen In time. Rev, Mr. Du Bois has been In Portland six years and a half..

The regular monthly meeting of the Multnomah Bar association last even ing at the courthouse was turned into a political meeting. Twelve of the It attorneys who attended were candi dates for something. Arrangements for the annual banquet could not be made, as Attorney Samuel White, chairman of the committee Is 111 in bed at home. The matter will be dismissed at a later meeting, " Attorney George K Davis, a candi date for the Republican nomination for district attorney, - was elected chair man. .He called upon Attorney R. P. Hurst, Democratic candidate for the nomination for district attorney. Hurst made a strong talk against the trusts and what he would do to them if elected. 'If I am elected' I will not give long decisions," said Attorney John Ditch- burn, candidate for a seat on the circuit bench. "I will make my decisions short, and if the attorneys want to know my reason for 'deciding thus and so, they can come into the Judge's chambers and there they win be told." ' " . Attorney Wilhelm; member of the city council, told the candidates he was badly disappointed in his councllmanio office, "I always Understood it was very remunerative," said the speaker, "but my first month's salary Just paid for the shoes I wore out in the cam paign. Business has been Very poor in this line, and no more of it for me." The chairman of meeting called upon Attorney J. A. Hamilton, who took ex ception to several candidates now in the field. After the speeches, the bar. as sociatlon went on record as indorsing the Oregon reserve movement This is a military organisation for boys. - The Fortland Equal Suffrage league held its first business meeting in the Selling-Hlrsch building yesterday aft ernoon. : A constitution was adopted, permanent officers elected and plans discussed for carrying on with yim the campaign to get votes for women. A proposal to form a sort of endless chain of workers for suffrage met with enthusiastlo approval By this plan every member of the club is to devote her efforts to gain ten converts to the cause of the ballot for "women. ;Then, each of these Is to get 10 more, and so on until most of the elecorate is won over by election time. . "We want numbers In our ranss," said Mrs. Rose Watt Ross. That's the chief essential, for so many men tell us they will vote to give women the ballot If the women show that they really want it. We can't show it bet-, ter than by numbers. " . ' ' The temporary officers of the league were made the permanent officials, and two men were made vice-presidents in addition, They are to Introduce speak ers at some of the meetings, for the club members agreed yesterday that they were stlU rather inexperienced in such things and inclined to feel bash ful from the platform. . The officials are: .. President, Mrs. Solomon Hlrsch; vice- presidents, J. N. Teal. Mrs. Vincent Cook, WeUs Gilbert, Mrs. C. S. Jack son, Mrs. Rose Watt Ross; secretary, Mrs. Andre Foullhoux; treasurer, Miss Prances Wilson. Mrs. C B. Wade told the league how women won the ballot in California, and Mrs. J. W. Bengough, wife of the famous Canadian cartoonist, of Toronto, told of progress made in Canada, Four years ago the future of the woman's surrrage cause ' in uanaaa looked very dark Indeed, Mra Bengough told the women present Suffrage argu ments were received with Indifference If they were received at all. But now, Mra Bengough said, the campaign for woman's rights is srouslng very great interest, and a feature of It is that the men seem to be even more Interested than the women. "The Canadians do things slower than Americans," she said. "It takes them longer to get started, but when they do start they accomplish things. Right now -the cause Is not so advanced as in America,' but we are progressing faat. ! "I feel that a divine force is be hind us, pushing us on and upward. God Is with us, and so we cannot fan." It was decided to hold regular busi ness meetings on the last Tuesday of each month. At the Olds, Wortman & Ring audi torium Monday afternoon Mra May Arkwrlght Hutton of Spokane addressed the Women's Political Equality league. "Women are natural economists," .said Mra Hutton In part. Vhere they vote they are opposing extravagance In pub lic affairs. The curricula in our public schools need revising. This Is only one of the countless wrongs committed in the nam of education. "Some maintain that woman snouia not vote because they cannot bear arms in" war. Women have borne the sons who have borne arms in war. Mothers as a rule do not believe in war, and many are no longer willing to bear sons for slaughter," Ol'Iffi EFFECTIVE That the severe "penalties provided for In the emergency ordinance passed in January prohibiting the carrying of concealed weapons has resulted In a general dlsarment of habitual gun carriers and Is In no danger of coming to be a dead letter law, was the asser tion of Chftf of Police Slover today.

M. Hlghhouse, JJ4 Cham ber of commerce building, from M. B, Katze, an American business man re siding In Mexico City. In his letter Mr. Katze says:. , v- "'i- "The Mexican cltlsens throughout the entire republic are flocking to Madero's side, and we are absolutely confident that the government will be able to sus tain Its present position with dignity, and will overcome these difficulties within the very hear future. Personally I believe the best thing that could have ever happened to Mex Ico is the present rebellion, for the rea son that it has awakened the Mexican people to the fact that peaceful condi tions are absolutely a necessity In this republic, and' in consequence a great re action has taken place, and the tact that Orozco has proved a traitor to the man who made him. namely President Ma dero, has caused great feeling of an tagonism against Orozco and has ce mented Madero more strongly In the hearts of the people. "Volunteer forces are coming for ward daily, not only in this city, but throughout ail parts of the republlo. The government is well fortified and well equipped to defeat any action in which its soldiers take part, and you .will find that within the next SO days the government will prove victorious jpver the present revolutionary element."
