Himself.
.Brooks, Or., Feb. 20. Rev. Father
George Schoener, who cam here from
a large church In Pittsburg, Fa., that
he iiiielit better work along lines of
scientific plant development, has
already accomplished some truly
remarkable restiltn, and at the same
time has taken care of hi parish,
which is some miles in extent.
Crossing the Oregon wild blackberry
and the Cuthbert raspberry, he has
.produced a fruit which he called the
Willamette berry.' The canes are much
longer than those of the loganberry,
.which it resembles somewhat in ap
j;caraii -, and the lcves are large,
fcilken in texture arid heart shaped.
The flower is double, and resembles a
white rose, and when grown over a
trellis, would nerve aH an attractive
climber, even if it had no other virtues.
If chief claim lies in thJ peculiar,
pleasant vanilla flavor of the berry,
which is more sweet than the logan
and equal to !t in size, but round in
stead of long. In color it is a dark
brown, also a distinct color in fruit.
. Another fruit in the process of mak
ing is tn edible roaeberry. which
makes a delicious Jelly,' and a third
creation in the fruit line is a peach
prune, excellent for drying, with the
good pointa of both Its parents re
gained. But It Is with flowers that Father
Schoener has "made the most note
worthy success. His garden consists
of 1&.000 roses, whose pedigree he has
studied hack aH far as possible, and
during the summer Just closed his
experiments covered o400 specimens.
To see him on a summer morning at
work transferring pollen from one
plant to another, tying a paper bag
over the seed pod and making a few
entrits lr a book, seems iike making
-new varieties, ''while you wait," but
this if. Just a simple step, for before
he applies this process he has first
mastered the pedigree of both parents,
their traits an, characteristics, and
the probable outcome of such a union.
After a few months the s,eed pod is
plucked, and the seeds planted in a
specially prepared bed, whtre they lie
one year or more before appearing
above ground. When they have grown
some good, str- ng leaf buds, they -ire
grafted upon the native sweet briar or
sc m other wild specimen selected by
tatlier Schoener. and the task is com
plete, some thre or four years being
required in the process of making a
nw rc-Fe.
Among tiio most showy of the roses
is that of . '."uroline Testout, buddd
-mi a'ii Oregon sweet briar, which
stands -0 feo.t ' i.i height. ' a veritable
rose tii-o. with a blossom measuring
eight inches j-cross.
Am'ther brilllanfcreaticn, exhibited
for tli.- first tini" a.t the 1914 rose show
in Portland, was a blend of the Gruss
au Tcpiitz and the La France, and
christened the .iesse Currie, in honor
oi one of the officials of the Festival
association and a rosarian.
Thcs are only a few of the wonder
ful tl.ins Fathei Schoener has done
ftt Brooks, where facilities are lacking
to assist him in his work. He has in
sufficient ground for so large an un
dertaking, iiis water supply consists of
what he can pump and carry by the
bucketful, and the task of caring for
these thousands of roses falls upon
him alona, while the money to pur-chas-
roses for experiment comes out
of his own pocket.
VANCOUVER, WASH.
Vancouver, Wash., Feb. 20. The
Wayfarers' Inn, which was opened
here last November and which at
tracted considerable attention through
out the Pacific northwest as being
the only institution which furnished
meals ' and lodging gratis to those
who were out of employment, will
close March -1. according to an an
nouncement made yesterday. For a
time after the institution opened' It
was crowded, and, owing to the fact
that there was no work for those be
ing cared for, the institution lost
money.
After donation of a part of the
old trestle near the Northern Pacific
dock, the men were worked an. hour
for-each meal and two hours for their
lodging. The wood cut in this man
ner was eold and a profit resulted.
Between November 23, the da- on
which the institution opened, and Feb
ruary 1. a total of 11,780 meals was
furnished.
.The matter of securing an agricul
tural agent for Clarke county was dis

board and outlined the duties of such
DARKEN GRAY HAIR,
LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
.Grandma's recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur darkens so, naturally
that nobody can tell.
Almost everyone knows, that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound-
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and "stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking ; at any drug store for
Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Com
pound," you will gt a large bottle of
. this famous old recipe, for about 50
cents.
. -, Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
' hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy. Adv

(Special to The Journal.)
Olympia, Wash., Feb. 20. -The new
fish code, agreed upon witn Oregon
legislators, and approved by the dif
ferent classes engaged in that Industry
in Washington, finally passed .the
house late this afternoon. . It took
practically all of unusually long morn
ing and afternoon session to lead the
measure first and second time.
Some minor amendments were made
by friends of t.ie measure, rules were
suspended after second reading to ad
vance it to final vote, and it carried
without a single vote In opposition.
Those in charge of the bill predict
It will go through the senate without
opposition and be signed by the gov
ernor. Unless Oregon or this state
asks to be relieved within two years
neither state may change the measure
In future, without the consent of the
other, a deal that has long been sought
by those operating on the Columbia
river.
Another bill passed by the house
today perrnlts private game preserves
for wild animals. '
The senate reversed Itself during
the day, first refusing to abolish the
second choice provision of primary vot
ing, and later reconsidering and pass
ing a bill to wipe out that objection
able feature.
Other bills passed provide for reg
istration of farm names, and would
prohibit Insurance company's discrim
inating with agents who represent
board, and non-board insurance com
panies from Twohy Brothers, contractors,
asking that they be given until March
1 to enter a bid. A California con
tractor had already made an offer to
build the tunnel through the moun
tains, tout no contract will be made
until the Twohys make their bid.

taking of water free from Camas
creek and carrying it through the
mountains via a tunnel to an irriga

Tight for Custody of Pour-Tear-Old
Marion Bowers Is Still In the Courts;
Portland Witness Wanted.
Dallas, Or., Feb. 20. The casa, of
Marion Bowers, the four-year-old
child, for whose possession a bitter
legal fight has been waged for months,
causing a conflict of authority be
tween the Polk county and Multnomah
county Juvenile courts, came up before
Judge II. H. Belt, in the circuit court
here this afternoon on an application
for habeaa corpus. The hearing was

from Portland.
About a year ago the Juvenile court
placed the child, in the custody of Mil
ton B. Grant, a local mail carrier.
Last August the mother, Mrs. Mollis
Bowers, of Portland, attempted to
kidnap the little girl frcm the Grant
home, but was captured in an automo
bile just as they were entering Salem.
Then came a demand from Judge
Gatens, of the Multnomah county
Juvenile court, for the child to be
turned over to a probation officer of
that county, claiming that the child
was a ward of that court prior to its
being brought to Polk county. Judge
J. B. Teal, of the Polk county court,
refused to recognize the order of Judge"
Gatens and remanded the little girl to
the care of the Grants. Today's action
was brought by Attorney Wralter I
Tooze Jr., representing bbth Mrs.
Bowers, and the Multnomah Juvenile
court.

Hog Cholera Costs
865,000,000 Yearly
Federal Official Says Porker Has
Been Neglected, Bespits the Many
Homi Be Has Brightened.
Fayettesville, Ark., Feb. 20. The
enormous toll of hog cholera, reaching
$65.OQ0,O0O in one year, is so alarming
that the government's field agents,
working in -harmony with the state ag
ricultural college, are especially active
in combating the disease the country
over. Dr. J. E. woson, veierinary
fleld agent of the federal bureau of
animal, industry, who Is conducting the
fight here against the hog disease, de
clares that the hog has been neglected,
despite the fact that the hog has
brightened more homes, put more car
pets on the 'floors, more music into the
parlor and turned the faces of more
boys and girls toward the colleges than
any other one factor In our entire econ
omic fabric.
According to Dr. Gibson, 90 per cent
of all the losses in hog raising Is
caused by cholera. The country is now
passing through the third serious epi
demic in 80 years, and the control and
eradication of the disease la one of the
larger questions confronting American
farmers today.
