He return ed to Salem Sunday, having sailed from San " Francisco on the Dor othy Alexander. ;ln the conference, third of its kind in Berkeley, all of which Hug has attended, were school superintendents and high school principals. Vital school problems were discussed by the group and , dealt with in lecture courses by educators from various parts of the union and Canada. A definite attempt was made to give those enrolled the greatest benefit for the. least work since most of the school executives attended the ses sion during the time allotted them tot' vacations. No examinations were required, no papers written, and even lecture notes were pre sented in mimeographed form. William A. Smith, Ph. D., graduate of Willamette university with the class of 1909, now as sociate professor of education at the University of California at Los Angeles, was a member of the lec turing staff. Especially interesting to the local school man was the work with Dr. Peter Sandiford of the Uiversity of Toronto, expert in the field of psychology. Dr. Thomas Woody of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, widely traveled and said to be thorough ly conversant with conditions in Russia, is "not too ethusiastic" over the Russian system of educa tion, it was reported by Hug, who found Woody's lectures outstand ing from point both of value and interest. California, says Mr. Hug, is this year giving 1162,000.000 from state funds to its school, an in crease of $70,000,000 over the previous year's allotment; he adds "they have more money than we do."

GROWING IS HELD SUCCESS Huber Recalls Prisoner Escape of 22 Y e a r s Ago' When he was Near-Victim MONMOUTH, July 31 A. P. Huber whose birthday anniversary was observed at his home here July 27, recalled some Interesting reminiscences covering a residence of 40 years in Monmouth. He was born in Iowa, coming to eastern Oregon at the age of eight, where he learned to ride horseback; and when older became a cowboy on the ranch of Plowman and Dur bin, one of the largest cattle com panies then in the northwest. For nearly 14 years he was a rural mall carrier on route one, Monmouth, often being obliged to carry the mail on horseback in winter. In summer, however, the road was traversible with team and hack, and one of his most ex citing experiences occurred 22 years ago in June when an escaped convict, Jess Hall, from the Ore gon state penitentiary compelled Huber to act as his coachman for 65 miles with a loaded revolver thrust against his ribs. Coming in about 5 p.m. from his route he reported to postmas ter O. A. Wolverton, that a suspi cious looking man had demanded BETHEL, July 31. The grow- a ride into Monmouth.

They traveled for this season 10 days ago and it made three tons per acre, which proves that this district is adapt able to alfalfa productln. Loose alfalfa sold direct from the field this season for $10 per ton. Hay baling Is In progress. A. I. Eoff has had 60 tons of clover haled, and cover is now being baled on the Kunciter farm. The Bpranger - Creech - Marchand out tit Is doing the work. Pastures are drying up and at a gallop much of the way, ing out through the Luckiamute valley toward McTlmmond's. He did not rob Huber, but held up George Boothby a, Monmouth re sident, miles out in the hills. Several posses tried to stop them, but Hall would draw his gun, and they feared to shoot lest they kill Hnber. Finally, about 9:30 that night, they were hotly pursued by a large posse. Evident ly fearing capture from this group. Hall leaped from the hack and disappeared into a grain field. Huber drove on and narrowly missed being shot by the sheriff of Benton county who thought he was the outlaw. Hall was captured the next night as he lay asleep, by Governor West and a posse, who found him exhausted after 60 con tinuous hours of travel, near Blod- gett. He said his mother lived at Waldport and he had been trying to Join her there. The team which Huber was driving was a pair of German coach colts, three and four years old, owned by the Armond broth ers who had hired Huber to break them. He had driven them only about a week. The owners had re fused $500 in cash for the team prior to the forced march; but the animals never recovered their pep after the strenuous expelence, and were sold a little later for $100 The story of Huber's kidnaping was front page news for days an over the country.
