V Corvallla, "Or., Dec. 20. What Is the
greatest need of Oregon? The lnter
eat of the state at the Panama exposi
tion,' and the arousing of our people to
i the importance of getting their share of
tourist travel In 1915 are well cared for.
Tor two years we have been carrying
oa a campaign to educate the people to
buy "Made In Oregon" products. We
have a well equipped state board of im
' migration. Trie greatest need of tnls
i state and of every other state on the
'Pacific coast Is more Industries with

' the products of the soil and to give em.
ployment to the people located In and
'ab6ut the cities and on the high priced
Hands.
Many have lost their holdings for
(lack of being able to market their prod
ucts so as to leave them a margin for
a living and to pay for their homes.
The exorbitant demands of the mlddle
'tnan leave no return for the producer
and rob the consumer.' The price of
'poultry and other meat products Is near
ily doubled from the time it leaves the

On January 14 and 15, during the
.farmers' short course at the Oregon Ag
ricultural college, and during the far
liners congress, when representative men
from all over the state will be in at
tendance, there will be a Factories Pro
motion Congress, under the auspices of
the Corvallls Commercial club and the
College Commercial club. -.
Representatives of the faculty will be
on the program with practical men from
all over the state who have built up in
; dustrles and enterprises and made them
successful, and both the scientific and
the practical aides of the problems In
volved In getting new Industries, will
. be presented.
Two days will be given up to consid
eration of how to bring the raw mate
rial: and the Industries related to tbem
closer together, how to get the farm and
. the. factory Into closer relationship, to
the end that we have better markets for
vour products and better employment for
'the eopl who are located on high
- priced lands.
OB the Program.
The following departments will be
treated fully at this congress.
Haw materials and related Industries:
' Timber products, furniture factories
nd all wood working Industries; dairy
products, creameries, cheese factories,
and milk condenserles; fruit products,

Industries related to farming and to
education that Is the central idea back
of, the Factories Promotion Congress,
and it is to be carried into effect by
a statewide campaign ror more inauo-
trles in every town and city In the state.
Corvallls Is to be made an industrial
center, where the raw materials from
the soil are to be worked up into manu
factured products.
There is now a large creamery and a
fruit and vegetable cannery but fac
tories for wood working, to manufacture
clay products, wool, mohair and flax
are to bo added by community coopera
tion, and then the practical experience
of the students In the Industrial depart
ments of the college will be given an
opportunity to become more efficient by
giving them credit for time put in at ac
tual work in the factories.
v Factories Will Open.
Many communities are in a position
to offer free sites and some go so far
as to offer free power, water and light,
and in some places the commercial or
ganization has offered to pay the taxes
on a new plant for a term of years.
The splendid work of The Oregon
Journal in calling attention to the policy
of supporting the home industries is
making it easier to get capital to invest
in factories. One man has come for
ward since this campaign was under
taken and says he desires to put in a
wood working factory of some kind In
Portland or western Oregon.
Several new factories are already
planning to start in January, reeling
encouraged to enter me iieia in reguu
where some attention la being given to
the home market.
MAY BE SHORTAGE
IN DOUGLAS COUNTY
Roseburg, Or., Dec. 20. The tax levy
for the coming year In Douglas county
has been fixed by the county court at
13.6 mills. The tentative levy was fixed
at 14.29 mills, with an estimated total
tax of 1 52S.680, but the actual levy will
reduce tmi amount ill, 417.17.
It has been rumored that the South
ern Pacific company will not pay the
taxes assessed on Its timber lands In
any of the counties In Western Oregon
for the coming year, on account of the
ruling against their land grant title In
the federal court. If they refuse to pay
the taxes while the case is under litiga
tlon, this county will lose about J75.J00
this coming year, and there will be a
general shortage in the funds as a re

PAYS TO WATCH THE

MERCHAN
USING
'Watered Oysters" but One
of Bad Conditions Deputy
State Sealer Is Fighting.
A
(Salem Bureau of Tb Jonrnnl.)
Salem, Or., Dec. 20. Deputy State
Sealer of Weights and Measures F. O.
Buchtel is doing what he can to reduce
the cost of the Christmas dinner. He
is at least endeavoring to see that
housewives get full measure of cran
berries and oysters when they order
them from the dealers.
"Thousands of dollars worts) of cran
berries and oysters are sold at this
season of the year," said Mr. Buchtel,
and many dealers are giving short
weight of cranberries and diluting their
oysters."
To stop these practices Mr. Buchtel is
sending instructions to all the county
sealers of weights and measures to
make Investigations and take steps to
see that proper measures are given.
Watch Tour Measure.
He explained that some merchants
selling small fruits and berries deal
them out in liquid measures Instead of
dry measures. The liquid measure is
about 15 per cent smaller than the dry
measure. He says this applies partic
ularly to cranberries, which should be
measured by dry measure.
"It is unfair to the merchant selling
by dry measure to be placed in competi
tion witn one selling the same article
and using a liquid measure, holding IS
per cent less," he says In his letter to
the county sealers. "It Is equally un
fair to the consumer and where this
practice of selling dry commodities by
liquid measure exists, you are advised
to take such action as is necessary
to prevent the continuance of the same."
A practice altogether too common, he
said, among dealers in oysters is to add
a full quart of water to three quarts of
oysters and their natural fluid, and
then sell the combination as oysters.
One-fourth of what the buyer wouldre- !
celve would be water.
"In the sale of oysters," he says In i
his letter of Instructions, "a purchaser ;
should receive the oysters as opened,
with the liquid that would naturally be ;
present, and you are advised that the
adding of water is contrary to the sec-j
tion quoted and, where this is done,
you are Instructed to take such action
as will stop this practice."

Circuit Judge Cleeton. yesterday held
the municipal court a legal body when
he overruled- toe demurrer of William
Pappas, Interposed when Pappas came
to trial on appeal from a 1100 fine Im
posed by. Municipal Judge Stevenson.
Judge Cleeton found Pappaa guilty of
selling liquor on Sunday In the Hel
lenic club at 12 North Sixth street, and
affirmed the sentence of the lower
court.
"Public policy demands that the city
must have a municipal court,", said
Judge Cleeton. "I do not feel that an
intermediate court should declare the
ordinance creating the municipal court
of this city illegal, as I believe tiie
question should be determined only by
the highest court of the state. An ap
peal can easily be taken on the ques
tion." Several other attacks on the muni
cipal court are pending, one being filed
Friday. A writ of habeas corpus was
asked on that day fow Young Sue, who
was sentenced to 10 days In jail and
fined $200 for having lottery tickets In
his possession. He had served t;ire
days of his sentence. Circuit Judge
Gatens.held the writ In abeyance until
a similar question raised In the Grace
Edwards case Is decided by Judge Kava
naugh. The decision In the Edwards
case is expected during the coming
were made on the validity of
the municipal court because the charter
adopted last June failed to provide foi
the court and It was created by ordi
nance. Many attorneys hold that such
a court cannot be created by ordinance.
An amendment to the charter correct
ing the defect failed to pass at the
special election held December 9.
