Paolae Northwest, which wu halted by the general business depression and by fears of ths flnan rial Interest. o( ths country, Is again in full awing. The first month of ths spring colonisation period has Just closed, and ths railroad mana gers are astonished at ths results shown by the nst figures of the re turns. These figures, as compiled by both the Harrlmaa and the Hill Unas, show that the present year bids fair to aurpass all previous years In the umbers who will seek homes in the land which Lewis and Clark opened la the Northwest.. The returns are not all in aa yet, but enough have been recorded to convince the rail road men that there will be at least twice as many people In new homes this year In the Paclflo Northwest as there were last year. The eagerness with which the aomeaeeker U looking toward the Northwest la shown by a table of one-way colonist tickets sold by the railroads for the month of March, the aalea being for the states of Ore gon, Washington and Idaho. Whenever a colonist ticket Is sold It means a new settler for the terri tory to which it is sold. In connec tion with the colonist movement. It Is stated by the railroad officials that tt la their purpose to open np all the pew and productive territory pos sible within the next few years, and to continue the low colonist rates spring and fall, with a view to giv ing the Northwest what it most peed, population and transporta tion. WOULD OPEN THE SALOONS Many New York Minister. "Will Work for This End. New York, April 18. The unus ual spectacle is presented Just now of ministers and other men who do not drink working energetically In favor of a bill to permit saloons to remain open during certain hours on Sunday. One of the advocates of the bill Is Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, formerly of Portland, Or., who has made his synagogue a power in New York. Dr. Wise said: "The present law is not enforced. Nobody claims that it is, and it has been demonstrated that It cannot be enforced. The new bill Is a com promise, I admit, but the Indications are that It will be generally obeyed. I believe, this measure Is a step for ward, and for that reason I earnestly hope It will become a law." Mack to Issue Magazine. Buffalo, N. Y., April 14. Norman B.

Eldridge, proprietor of the Cap ital City Creamery and the Indepen dence Creamery, was la this city ye. terday conferring with the manager of the first mentioned Institution, 8. C Bradeson, says Balem Statesman. Ar rangemenU are being made for in creasing the sice of the Capital City Cream ory by occupying the large room now u.ed by the Vaudette moving picture theater which gave its last per formance last night after a successful three years' run, being the pioneer amusement place of that kind In Salem This additional room will be sufficient to permit the Capital City Creamery to operate on a large scale, thereby man ufacturlng a great amount of creamery product. In course of a year. Regarding the butter and cheese output of the state during the past year Mr. Eldridge aaid to a represen tative of this paper:' "There are not so many dairy cow. in thl. state as there were a year ago. Any creamery man will admit that this statement 1. true, and it is not at all a favorable commentary on the progress of the dairy Industry in Ore gon during the past twelve months," "The current butter and cheese out put of the state is short of that of a year ago, the increase since the open ing season of heavy production baa not been so rapid as that of last year, and price, on both products are now higher that at this time in 1908, all of which mean, that while the population of the state ha. increased materially and the demand of these commodities with it production is not greater, and probably a little less, than that of a year ago. A number of cause, have brought about the present situation. For one thing, a good many dairy 'cows have been shipped out of the Btate. I be lieve It would be safe to say that 600 cow. have been sent out of Linn county alone to the state of Washington with in the last twelve months. The dairy men of the latter state have been actlv In the work of increasing their herds, while negligence In the matter has been more or less general in this state. y IT. !

One of the most traveled highways of the Alaska-Yukon-Paclflc Ex position will be the street to which has been given the name of Yukon Avenge. Yukon Avenue makes its way across the exposition grounds from west to east, and the ends are represented by Klondike Circle near the entrance and Nome Circle on which fronts the classic Forestry build ing. It crosses the roaring Cascades on oriental bridges of handsome design, and from it. central part the buildings of Hawaii and Alaska, backed by the enormous federal structure, are directly to the north. Just to the west of Klondike Circle the Pay Streak winds in a general direction from north to south, and at the eastern end the land gives way precipitously to the shores of Lake Washington. . It is on this beau tiful shore of the lake the natural ampttheatre Is located, and nature has so quaintly formed this delightful spot, that small effort has been re quired of man to transform it into as perfect an exhibition place as is possible. Its curving, sloping sides complete a semi-circle, and from its tiers of towering seats 30,000 spectators may witness the entertainments with ho possibilities of occupying a single undesirable seat. A wonderful variety of architectural display is shown by the many buildings through which Yukon Avenue passes, and during its course the visitor passes from man-made monuments through parts of magnificent forest, whose grandeur has never been marred by the destructive craft Of Mammon's disciples.

'Other factor, that have figured In the smaller ouputt of butler and chee. In Oregon this year bare been the high cost of all sorts of mlilfied and the ac tlvity of the condensers. Many of the dairymen have considered the cost of feed prohibitive and have left their cows to subsist as best they could on the ranges, while the condensors bav taken a considerable portion of the milk that would otherwise have gone Into the production of butter and cheese." def::d the judge.
