Portland, March 7. Booster spirit
ran high at the biennial dinner of the
Portland Commercial club the past

ard Elliott, and others In which en-
couragement was given for the work
accomplished. Speeches were full of
optimism. C. C. Chapman, George F,

throughout the state. The sentiment
of all was 'that this cd-operation

REWARD OF $2500 FOR
CAPTURE OF MURDERERS.
. The hunt for the murderers' of Ed
ward McCullough, the Haines saloon
man,' Is still being pressed with un
diminished vigor, although it Is the
opinion of many that the two men
who committed the deed have by
this time made good their escape.
Although several clues have been
found and followed nothing has come
of them.
Baker county has offered a reward
of $1000 and the town of Haines has
offered $500 for the capture of the
murderers. In addition to this Gov
ernor West has telegraphed that the
state of Oregon will give $1000 for
their arrest and conviction, and many
detectives are flocking to Haines to
get in on the trail.

Mrs. E. P. Skaggs, proprietress of
the Flora Journal for the past nine

the plant Monday morning.
During the time Mrs. Skaggs has
been at the head of the Journal she
always tried and was very success
ful In getting out a bright, clean,
newsy sheet which was fully apprec
iated by her faithful readers.
Mr. Ghormley of the new firm Is

Sheep are still dying at the Coff-
man sheep ranch. The report that
it is all from hydrophobia, however,
is greatly exaggerated. Franki Able,
who Jiaa been herding at the camp,
said this morning that but few had
died from that cause, that the sheep
being old and other conditions were
responsible for by far the greater
part of the deaths.
The last heard from James For

recovering from the operation he had
recently undergone.
Dr. Gilmore has traded a portion

Quite an- excitement has been ex

which was Wednesday. For throe
days Frank Peterson, Ora Parmer,

"The way to get people into the
Northwest is to take the Northwest

Hill of the Great Northern has done
for Oregon by completely equipping a

Oregon is bound to gain from this
practical publicity, and the value of. it
can only be reckoned when the colon
ist period is over and some idea can
be had of the number of new settlers
brought into the State.
The following reports of the Travel -
ing Immigration Agents in charge of
Oregon s Exhibition Car were furnish
ed by E. C. Leedy, General Immigra
tion Agent of the Great Northern Ry.
Greenwood, lud. Fifteen hundred
visitors, a great many of whom were
farmers. A large per cent of interest
was for homesteads in Oregon. The
hall where the stereopticon lecture
was held In the evening was crowded,
and some were turned away. The ap
pie display In the car is drawing many
favorable comments.
JefferBonville, Ind. Tremendous
crowd. At least 5,000 people, visited
the car. The crowd kept up all day
long and the lecture hall was crowded

seems to be mostly in farm lands with
a little for fruit culture. This is a

New Albany, Ind. Nothing so far
equals the attendance to the Oregon
car such as we had at New Albany.
Starting early In the morning we had
a steady crowd of visitors for the two
days. On the evening of the second
day we passed through the car not
less than 1,500 people between 7:00

We secured the names of a large
number of prospective homesteaders
and tourists for Oregon.

600. At the stereopticon lecture in
the evening every seat In the hall was

ly Interested crowd and the attend

of the town. Several came to me
after the lecture in the evening and
stated that they were going west this
spring or summer,
though we are In position to take care
of several hundred more.'
"There will be prominent speakers
from the northwestern and coast stat

Saves Thousands of
Dollars to Farmers
Agricultural Colleje Teaches Farm
er How To 8ave Money By
Using Right Method.
Oregon Agricultural College, Corval
lis, M arch 7. An actual' saving of ov-
er $1,000 In horse feed resulted from
tne information gained by a prominent
business man and farmer of Salem,
Ore., In the winter short. course at
the Oregon Agricultural College. Last
year he came himself to the course,
and this year, being unable to attend
be sent his ranch foreman. The know
ledge gained in the course on feeding
of horses alone netted him a saving
of over $1,000 In his feed bills, and
his animals are In finer condition than
ever before, he says.
Over $5,000 would have been saved
by( S. W. Jamleson of Dell, Ore., he
estimates, If he had taken the short
course ' two years ago. Inexperience
and lack of training when he came
west two "years ago to develop his
holdings of 4,000 acres of fruit lands,
caused Mr. Jamleson to make the us
ual mistakes of the beginner. Upon
attending the course at the college
this winter he discovered his mistake
and made a careful computation of
his consequent losses, which amount
ed to over $5,000,
These are but two of the large num
ber of similar cases which have come
to the attention of Dean Arthur B
uoraiey of tne college. It Is a spec
ial aim of the college not only to
equip young men to go out after grad
uation and develop the new lands to
their Mtmost capacity, but to help
the farmer, stockmen and orchard
men of the state who are aleady
caring for lands of their own or in
charge of large estates, to get the
greatest possible value out of the
land, and to help them to solve the
problems that arise, and to get rid
of the peata which injure crops.
NEW HOMESTEAD LAW.
Carl Roe, United States Commis
sioner, received a letter, Monday,
from the La Grande Land Office, stat
ing that a law was passed on Feb
ruary 13, 1911, which granted to all
persons who have filed declaratory
statements or made homestead en
tries in the state of Oregon,- where
the period In which they were re
quired by law to make entry under
such declaratory statements or to
establish residence expired or ex
piree after December 1st, 1910, are
granted until May 16, 1911, to make
such entry or establish such resi
dence upon the lands entered by
them.
This law allows those who under
the former law would have bad to
establish their residences on their
homesteads In March or April, until
May 15 to do so. Or if they have
failed to establish their residence in
the time formerly prescribed by law,
they now have until May 15 to do
so, provided they did not file prior
to June 1st, 1910.
