Herman Tartar, deputy Food and Dairy Commissioner for Ore- ' gon, came up from rortland, vveci nesday, on omcial business not rrsist a few comments. You have ' gone - cut of your way to call attention to the fact that I was present at a meeting the office of E. .R. Bry- the Sunday preceding the recent city election, and to imply that the destinies of the city were thereby endangered. In naming those present you state that be- j sides. E. R. Bryson, B. W. John son and myself, "two others" were there. Why "two olfiers?" They were B. F. Irvine, editor of the Times, and Robt. Johnson. So far as I know there was noth ing sinister about the meeting. My presence is easily explained, for, "like yourself, "I was called by phone." E: P. Greffoz, act ing in his official capacity, had brought the tickets for the city election to the Gazette office to have them printed. This ticket contained the-names of all per-, sons who were seeking office in the city election. It was' the only ticket in the field May 18th, and the names of your candidates were upon. it. I was called by phone and asked to bring one of these printed tickets to Mr. Bry son's office. I did so. So there's your : insinuation '.'stripped to bedrock." I enjoyed the meeting, how ever. . I thought your explana tion of how you "had acted as wet nurse for the saloons of this city for years," was in your best vein; and the indignation you displayed when you spoke of the ingratitude ot the proprietors of these places, was splendid.

A run. to the Corvallis Agricultural College will be taken, and from 9 a. m. to 1 p. m. the party will be shown through the station. Railroad men regard the visit of the party as one of the most important expeditions that has ever come to Oregon. The showing made of this state's re sources will be as complete as the time will permit, and it is ex pected .wben the party returns to Germany it will carry a good impression of this state. While there has neve been any authorized statement to this effect, it is generally believed the tour has the sanction of the Ger man government and that a re port on American farming meth ods will be made to German offi cials. - In this report it is believ ed the State of Oregon will fig ure. Railroad men hold that California is widely known on the European Continent, while Oregon has not been put forward. If the German party is impress ed by the resources of this state and the farming methods em ployed here, it is believed the re port will show the fact. The value of such a showing is explained by the fact that whatever reports are made will fall into the hands of agricultur ists who are inclined to follow advanced methods. .. If any of these people are induced to come to this state, they would be of the most enterprising class and add materially to the develop ment of the state.
