"Looking back to those epochal pe
riods ef the Far West, and recalling the
prodigious taek accomplished by .the
legal trail plazsl, I marvel at it all. In
those days we bad no court reporters,
no typewriters and .no fair haired typists
or vast law libraries. All pleadings were
drawn by band railroads were few,
necessitating travel by boat, stage, horse
and on foot.

"Courthouses were scarce, various
counties being merged in one Judicial
district where, terms of court were held
at stated times. Juries were obtained
from remote districts. In short, nature's
barriers, combined with paucity of pop
ulation, threw countless obstructions in
the way of legal fraternity. '
"How, In the days when Washington
was a territory, way back In 1176, I ever
managed to cover regularly 10 counties
as federal prosecutor may best be ex
plained by the adage:'-'In the lexicon of
youth there is no such word as failure.'
"Soft, white handed lawyers who live
amid the luxuries of large cities of to
day, and who motor to court or tread
smooth pavements hedged by rosea,
would ask, 'What's the main idea?", if
they were called upon now to preside in
person over the legal destinies of 10
counties even' under modern transpor
tation conditions and with all the me
chanical advantages and legal furnish
ings of the present day.
"It was in (76 when I tackled this
herculean, task while etill' in my twen
ties. , Following was my list of counties :
Klickitat, Skamania, Clarke, Cowlits,
Wahklahkum, Pacific, Lewis, Thurston,
Mason and Chehalia,
SAMEL WEBSTER SCHOOL
"Legal lights ef those days compare
highly with those ef the. present. In
reviewing the field of men of the legal
profession . today, I believe I can say
that the men of those times stood well
up in the ranks of their calling, and that
is no disparagement of lawyers of today.
Lawyers of those days were ef the old
Daniel Webster school. They were usu
ally well grounded in the fundamentals
of the Jaw. As case lawyers they were
hard to beat.
"Eleven sessions of court were sched
uled for the- district I represented.
United States Attorney Allen was re
quired to be present at all terms of
court. Among these who figured then
m ere Judge Sam Wlngard of Walla
Walla, unci of Todd and Ed Bingham
of Portland, and United States Judge
Roger Green, ex-officla. of the supreme
bench, whe now lives in Seattle. Judge
William Strong, father of Tom Strong
of Portland, was a frequent attendant
at court! likewise, Governor Gibbs of

on the best means of tracing a man de
scribed as "the biggest crook in Eng

Bell, a lumber dealer of Sterling, QL,
who is here; looking after property In

Caution.Urged Upon
Property Owners in
Placing New Leases
Extreme caution is nrged upon owners
of rental property Id bulletin No, 2, Just
issued by Strong & McNanghton, fin
ancial managers and custodians of es
tates. This Is not ,an easy time to
forecast rental prospects, the firm ad
vises. "We have been for , about three
years on a rising 'market, due to general
business expansion and shortage of pew
buildings. Uo until the beginning of 1920
this growth was rapid and constant,
but since the first of the year It has
slackened off perceptibly. We are now
in what Wall street calls a 'soft market'
and may expect an immediate change for
the better or for worse conditions, ;
"The reptaj market is not a law unto
Itself," continues the - bulletin, , "but fol
lowa the trend of general business con
ditions. At present business is in a very
disturbed state. The governors of the
federal reserve bank have raised the re
discount rate in an effort to slow things
down and bankers are advising mar
chants and manufacturers to be cautious.
This means a leasenina: In. th demand
for space. It Is our opinion that rents
will remain satlonary. or at best rise
but slowly in the immediate-future. This
mucn is certain," concludes the comment
on the rental market, that we are en
tering epon an uncertain if not critical
Industrial period and every prop
erty owner should study "well the value
and uses of poperty' In, bis district and
exercise . extreme caution to t niacin

E. Walker, Max ?hTirch and, C, p.
WlUJama,' representing the ' United
States . Spruce ; Production corpora
tion, were in conference' tiers Friday
Right With, tha Port of Newport com
mission and submitted proposals for
the lease of the Yaquina Northern
railroad to the commission. Terms
submitted include Ihe privilege of
purchase of the road and the mill at
"Yaquina-
: After reading the proposed contract,
the commissioners asked 15 days for
consideration, leaving . the' corporation
free to dispose of the property in the
meantime. This request was granted
and the commissioners are, continuing
their study of the proposal. It is ap
parent that the commissioners -belLs je
the terms of the contract too stringent,
and modifications will be asked,
, The proposal . submitted to the Port
of Newport commission provided for tha
lease ofjthe Yaquina Northern railro:vl
for an annual rental of $40,000, with
an option for its purchase' within a
10-year period for a -sum equal to
$400,000 minus the amount paid in rent
at the time of purchase. : The commis
sion would also be required io mae
suitable outlay for the maintenance of
the road. This plan was approved by
Washington officials.
Several months ago the' Spruce Pro
duction corporation offered to sell the
i oad to the Port of Newport commis
sion for $400,000, and the commission
favored its purchase bu( financial dif
ficulties arose and the deal was not
consummated. Por-of Newport officials
propose. if they acquire the line, to
use it in carrying, rock to a jetty being
built as a portion of harbor improve
ments estimated to cost $1,500,000. -
One-half of the amount required for
harbor improvements Is to be paid by
the Pert of Newport - and ' Toledo and
the balance by the federal government.
The bonding resources of the port com.
rr lesion 'have been exhausted in meeting
this demand, and it has no funds avail
able for the purchase of the railroad.
The price asked, is approximately 32
per . cent of the original cost of con
structing the line.
The Yaquina Northern railroad starts
at the terminus of the Southern Pacific
tracks at Yaquina. and extends around
the shore of Yaquina bay, through the
etty of Newport and .northward into the
timber. , The completed ' portion of the
line is 10.8 miles in length, Grading
has been .completed for an additional

FIRST FLOUR MILL
TO BE LOCATED AT
Portland Firm Sends Plant Unit;
Wheat Being, Raised in Rigor
' bus Climate After Full Tests.
Within the shadow of the Arctic
circle Alaska's first flour mill, sold
by a, Portland company and shipped
from this city Saturday to Fairbanks,
wjll be ready for operation on 'Alas
ka's own "wheat crop just as soon as
its various partp can be put together,
This announcement, quite' sufficient
to startle the most hopeful sourdough.
Is the climax of efforts that have been
made over a period of years to develop
a strain of wheat suitable for Alaskan
cultivation. . That marvel achieved,
Fairbanks . business men and farmers
have purchased and will install at
Fairbanks the territory's first and only
flour mill..
P0KTLAXD WI3T8 OUT
In the face of strong competition
from the East and from Seattle, erst
while "gateway" to Alaska, a Portland
firm Saturday shipped the first 25
barrel unit of the 100-barrel mill that
has been sold to the Fairbanks men,
who were represented in the purchase
by M. D. Snodgrass, a government man.
- The capital creating the first mill
in Alaska- is represented by the Tan
ana Valley Agricultural association, in
cluding not pnly business men of Fair
banks, but ' farmers who have been
gradually developing the -wheat acre
age about the territory. . ,
Fairbanks is 175 miles from the Arc
tic circle, where, it has long been pre
sumed, wheat was an impossible crop.
However, through the United States
department of agriculture, which main
tains; an experiment station at Fair
banks, two- very hardy wheat strains
have been developed.
- One of these strains is a develooment
of an importation of Siberian wheat,
which by careful seed selection has
been adapted' to Alaskan cultivation. It
resembles - the well-known Marquis
strain. The other Is similar to the
Eastern Oregon hybrid No. 0S. Either
strain matures in 90 days.
STRAWS DEVELOPED
i These two strains have been grown
near Fairbanks for six years and
within the past few years acreage has
been greatly increased en cleared logged
off lands. Alaska, where all bread
stuffs have heretofore been imported,
will soon be independent of flour Im
ports. ' "'-,.-H
The 25-barrel unit shipped from PorV
land will go to Seattle, thence by boat,
and will .be reshipped at St. Michael
and thence up the Yukon river to the
mouth of the Tanana river. Up the
Tanana, after its sSC-mile trip on the
Yukon, the mill will go to Fairbanks,
a distance of 275 miles. The first
unit weighs approximately 15.000 pounds
and is a late model Twentieth Century
ball-bearing mill, handled In Portland,.

will be started by September L About
150 men will be employed, CO of whom
are married and who were employed by
Ward in former operations. To begin
with, two side; will be operated, and
next year another camp wili be estab
lished..
The first work tea be started will be
the erection, of to dwelling houses for the
married men. -These houses will be
steam heated and will have electric
lights. Waier power on Connelly "creek
will be utilized to generate electric cur
rent for power and lighting purposes.
In the large boarding bouse for the un
married men there will be shower
baUre, electric lights, steam heat, a com
modious reading room. It is planned to
have all preliminary work done so that
by January 1, 1921, the camp will be
completed and ready to get out logs.
Mr. Ward estimates tflat be has six
years' operation.
There will be no delay in Securing
equipment, as Mr. Ward has all he needs
now. He has steel for the railroad as
a well as locomotives. A contract has been
made wttn trie unicago, siuwauaeo at

CAR SHORTAGE IS
Will Be Impossible to Move More
Than 50 Per Cent of Wheat
Crop Before November 1.
Br United New) S
Kansas City, Mo., July 24. In
fprmey year's granger roads at this
season would have seven or, eigni
thousand boxcars, grain-tight, on
sidings awaiting the wheat growers
call. They would be "spotted" on
verba? orders to local station agents
and farmers and railroads celebrated
their mutual season of harvest. -
Not so this year, for when threshers
began their annual hum railroads had
not yet cleared farms and elevators pf
the,!9 wheat accumulation.
Acuteness of the car shortage can be
beat down by the case of the Rock
Island, which, by the way, is In better
shape as to cars' than any other road
in the 'Southwest..' Last year en July 1.
in the grain hauling of the Heck Island
west of Harrington, 1J75 grain-tight
cars were distributed at sidings await
ing summons of grain men, This year
on the same date the same division was
197 cars behind old orders, with the new
harvest looming. That situation, mul
tiplied by the dozen of roads Jn this
section, is Illustrative of conditions.
General Freight Agent Shubert said
Thursday that t would be Impossible to
move more than 60 per cent of this
wheat crop along the Hock Island lines
before November 1, assuming- the road
could maintain constant service with
equipment on hand. ; :
Refusal of eastern roads to give up
cars to move the crop is seriously de
laying the usual summer wheat move
ment. Every agency in Kansas City
interested In seeing Kansas liquidate
her enormous crop Is bringing pressure-to-bear
on the interstate commerce
commission for a, priority order direct
ing cars here to move this foodstuff.
