In compliance with a request made
by the department of agriculture,
Pretoria, Consul John H. Snodgrass
forwards clippings from a Johannes
burg paper, giving a description of
the splendid work performed by a
number of American ladles at the
Pretoria agricultural show In demon
strating the various uses to which the
products of Indian corn may bo put.
The consul adds:
The dvnlzens of South Africa have
always regarded corn meal unfit for
food, but the various tempting arti
cles propared from It at the agricul
tural show by the American ladles
have not only opened the eyes of
South Africanders as to the great ben
efit that may be derived by this
country in the proper preparation of
corn meal for food, but It will assist
materially In relieving distress among
' the thousands of unemployed who are
living principally upon gruel.
Pamphlets containing 100 or more
American recipes for preparing corn
meal are being distributed broadcast
throughout the Transvaal, with the
object in view of aiding those who
have been reduced to the verge of
starvation. (The clippings referred
to are filed for reference at the bu
reau of manufactures.)

Many thousand people have winked at the grocer
during the past ten days. In response they have re
ceived a generous sample of Kellogg's Toasted Corn
Flakes.' And they were delighted. It gave them an
idea of how delicious a breakfast food could be.
Over 1 00 men were engaged to issue the invitations
and see that all grocers were supplied with "wink
ammunition."
The result was a most phenomenal demand for the new
breakfast food. We venture to say that fully one
half the people of the city had KelIoggs Toasted
Com Flakes for breakfast this morning. And most
of them will continue to enjoy it for breakfast.

ATTORNEY GENERAL SAYS
STATE OWES THEM A DEBT.
Crawford Nays Oregon Should Do All
In Its Power to Rejialr Injury Done
Columbia Southern Is Roundly
Scored.
Attorney General A. M. Crawford,
who in company with State Engineer
John H. Lewis and Attorney John K.
Kolloc, has Just returned from Laid-'
law, Eastern Oregon, where a large
amount of testimony was taken in the
Columbia Southern reclamation case,
gives It as his opinion that the state,
having made a mistake In Its treat
ment of the settlers affected by the
contract, should do everything pos
sible to repair the mistake made, once
the litigation comes to an end, says
the Salem Statesman.
"I don't believe these people have
been treated right," declared Mr.
Crawford. He continued: "Everybody
Is familiar with the case, how the
state entered Into a contract with the
Three Sisters company under the Car
ey act. It will be remembered that
as soon as the Three Sisters company
had closed Its contract with the state,'
It went ahead to Induce settlers to
locate on the land, collecting from
each a certalqs fixed proportion of
the total cost of reclamation of the
27;000 acres of land. The Three Sis
ters company represented to the state
that there was plenty of water to re
claim the entire tract, while aa a mat
ter of fact there is water enough to
reclaim only about 1.200 acres. The
company collected from settlers In the
neighborhood of $100,000, dug a few.
ditches and built a plant which I do
not believe would be of much, If any,
use In a general irrigating scheme for
the whole tract.
"Notwithstanding the large amount
collected, neither the Three Sisters
nor Its successors, the Columbia
Southern Irrigation company, of the
Columbia Southern Irrigating com
pany, ever paid into the treasury of
the corporation any great amount of
cash to cover the stock issued. I
believe that the first named concern
did pay in a small sum, but the most
of the' work done on the project has
been done with the money collected
from the settlers.
"One mistake made by the state
was to enter Into a contract with
the Irrigating company permitting the
company to collect from the settlers
before the water had been turned
on the land. This enabled the com
pany to collect a large sum of money
without making any adequate returns.
'TThere are Jiow about forty or!
fifty families on the land, and they
are using all .the water the company
can produce. A large number of the
original settlers, learning that there
was no water and no prospect of get
ting any, have moved away. Those
who remained are mostly, the ones
who could not get away, and they
are in bad shape. The reclamation
project has been a failure, transpor
tation facilities are lacking and bus
iness in general Is not thriving. It
Is my opinion that the state, having
made a mistake In the treatment of
the settlers In this case, should do
what It can to repair that mistake.
"We have accumulated considerable
evidence, and the case will be ready
for trial In the United States court
as soon as Judge Wolverton gets
around to set the time. The Issue is
on the application of the state to
set aside the contract made with the
Three Sisters company 'and assigned
by that concern to the Columbia
Southern Irrigation company and the
Columbia Southern Irrigating company."
