Over in Kings Vallev Tuesday afternoon aOout 50 citizens held a mass meeting to discuss plans in regard to the extension of the Airlie railroad through that val ley and on to a connection with the C. & E. at Blodgett. Joseph Hirschberg. Dresident of the Airlie railroad, was to meet with the citizens but could not be present. It is through Mr Hirschberg's interest in and atn- taiion of the subject of extension that a mass meeting was finally called, and those who are best in formed expect results from the gathering. Mr. Hirschberg will use all his influence in favor of an extension of the Airlie road through Kings vauey. .railing in this, it is in timated that he mav start the ball to rolling, personally, it the project 100ns promising. For the purpose of gatherino- data in regard to the amount ot freight that would be available from Polk and Benton counties tor such a road, a committee was appointed at Tuesday's meeting and it is thought the report will show that much traffic would be furnished at Kings Valley. xne leaders in the movement are J. P. Iyjgan, H. Seifert. A. C. Miller and C. A. Frantz, all of whom are prominent citizens and business men of the valley. The gap from Airlie to Bled gett is about 14. miles in length and the building of such a rail road would open up one of the richest little valleys in Oregon At present it is a very difficult matter to get Ireiffht m and out of the valley, and on account of the roundabout route of the mails it takes about three davs to get mail from Portland. There are now in this vallev three tie mills, besides a large sawmill owned by C. A. Frantz, at Hos- kins, and a flouring mill owned by J. P. Logan at Kings Vallev. and if they should succeed in getting a railroad there would be other tie mills and sawmills put in, as there is lots of fine timber only waiting for an outlet to be sawed up and shipped. It is stated that the ricrht ot way will be asked of residents of the section through which the road passes and that snhsorin. tions wi!l probably be solicited later on. Another meeting is to be held in two weeks, at which time the committees appointed yesterday will report, and other definite steps will be taken toward launching the project. Happens Tonight at OAC.

The Oregonian Wednesday told the talp as fal lows, in a dispatch dated at Tol- eao -luesaay: The residence of C. F. Altrp. one and one-half miles west of loledo wasldemolished hva land Slide at IO:iO o'clock lasr nicrnrf and afterwards totally destroyed Dy nre. ine lamily, consisting ui an. huu ivirs. Altree anrl nxr children and the mother of Mrs. Altree narrowly escaped with their lives. The slide started at a nnint nn a high timber-covered hill, one third of a mile south of the house. and the warning was m'wn hv the elder Mrs. Altree, who had arisen to get a drink of roarer and heard the first crash and rum ble of the huge mass of earth. stone and trees. The members of the family, dressed onlv in their night clothes, had barely left the house when the slide struck the house. Running ahead the still moving mass about 200 ieer. ana tnen a short dis tance to a higher point, they reached a place of safety just as the slide bearing their home crashed into the barn and stopped. Here the ruin was comnleted. Fire from the stove and a lamn started a blaze, which raoidlv consumed house and barn and the contents ot each. There were six cows and ten sheen in the barn. Two of the cows and all of the sheep were burned to death, and the other cows badly injured, two being shot later to end their suffering. The slide passed over enmnar. atively level ground, and did not move very radidly. The site of the Altree home and about six acres around are buried under about 2.s feet of earth, stone and trees, many of the latter from two to three feet in diameter. Johnson Bill Approved. As the most practical bill for securing to all sections of the state better roads, the committee voted to report favorably, with some slight amendments, the hill -r -. . . : . 01 oenaior jonnson, which pro poses to OlStnbUte the evnence ; ,1 .. equany among tne state, mintu and abutting property in shares of one-third each. The amount contributed by the state to anv one county on this account shall not exceed $20,000 and shall he raised by a lew ot not to exceed one-half of one-mill, in the same manner as are other state funds. The Tohnson bill has hen amended to authorize the em. ploymeat of state convicts in operating and maintaining rot crushers, or in road construction work where the services of these men are considered nraetirahl Under all circumstances their em ployment is discretionary with the county court. Ten years ago some of the tarmers hereabouts kept a few milch cows, and made some but ter to sell. Beyond these few. however, the farmers milted just enough cows to supply the nousenoia. Most ot the herds kept were for stock raising. Since the establishment of the creamery at Csrvallis, thus creat ing a demand far their produce, the (tarmers have realized that there would be good profits in dairying. Some of the farmers merely took up their stock cows and began milking them, while otners nave obtained the better breeds. Uy experiments it has heen found that the Jersey cow is the most profitable. Though these cows may not give quite so large a quantity of milk in some cases Hn . 1 1 T . . . as uiuer oreeas. vet there is a greater per cent of butter fat in the mucis ana this is the farmer's chief aim in dairying. borne of the dairymen have notimade much of a ehano-e in the r care of the cows from that of the stock cow, with the possi- Die exception ot niacins them in stanchions and giving them some Kina 01 mm teed. Others, es pecially those who are the most succesful. have built new hams. and within, have them modernly arranged. One of the most successful dairymen has 4 large barn with box stalls. In these stalls each cow is allowed ample room to move about without being cramp ed. The chain lie -,.isused.o. that the head is free. In front and above there is a sloping manger, of narrow slats and di rectly beneath this is feed box-. These stalls are svstematieallv arranged in two rows across the barn, with a snace ahont twentw feet wide between them. This space is . occupied bv different kinds of machinerv for the re paration of the food. There is a small horse-power grain chop per, and the large ensilage cut ter. At one end of this snace ic the large silo. The cows are fea unon o-ood vetch hay ensilage composed of vetch and corn, and then a goodly supply of chopped oats. There is alwavs olentv ot ennd fresh water kept in a trough near the barn; for cows to do their best must in all events have plen ty or water. A windmill is used to supply the needed power. Most ot the farmers have o-nnd cool milck houses, where the sep arator and cream are k-nr. The cream is gathered from the differ ent dames by a cream wagonsent irom tne central creamerv. Tn summer this wagon gathers twice a weeit; in the winter time, but once. The profits from one of these well kept dairy farms is very sat isfactory. In an average year a medium cow of the Jersey breed will produce about $50 worth of butter fat. Besides this, the milk may be fed to the hogs, and a goodly profit realized :rom tnese. .farmers find dairv ing one of thetr most profitable industries along with the farm, Farmer general hiatal y, English literature, schoo law.
