e Hill and Harriman railroads,
d a great deal more can yet be

exhaustible. Few if any peo-
e of Portland or of that county
elf, have an adequate coneep-
6n of the results that will flow
ram this extensive railroad

nds, even, within a decade, by
ndred of thosands, will flock
to that region, for all sorts of

DEMONS'! RATION FARMS I'AVORCl).
Dr. James Withyconibe of the
state agricultural college has
offered some good suggestfons in
a recent communication to the
Oregonian along the line of dem
onstration farms in each county.
While it might not be best to es
tablish these farms in connection
with high schools, it is something
to consider. He says:
Perhaps the greatest sociologi
cal and industrial problem con
fronting this Nation today is that
of strenghthening our rural pop
ulation. The present universal
tendency to urban life, is threat
ening the very stability of our
country. This is a question not
only vital to our own state, but
to the Nation at large. In times
of general prosperity, such as
we are now enjoying, this paucity
of rural population is of little
moment, but when times begin
to tighten, then the pinch of hun
ger and distress will be felt in
our over-congested cities. This
possible condition should be
averted.
The problem, then, is not only
to expand the ratio of our rural
population, but to utilizo more
perfectly the soil as well. This
can only be solved through sys
tems of education. Despite tho
efforts of the various states and
Nation to educate tho farmer,
only a small proportion is direct
ly influenced. Some means should
be provided whereby a larger
proportion of our people may be
brought to realize the possibili
ties of tho farm.
People need not be especially
&v j -i i? r
the best,alar,nC( Jlt l'1(i presenting!! cost
ot living, out should oe Kceniy
solicitous of the future prosperity
and happiness of our people. The
hope of the Nation rests with
the farmer who owns his farm,
or the man who owns his own
home. Hence, every effort should
be made not only to populate the
country, but to train our people
so as to make it possibln for them
to own their farms. The tenant
system of farming is not to the
best interests of our country.
We should aim to stem tho tide
from tho country to the city. To
do this, the country boys interest
in country life must be stimulat
ed. There have been a number
of methods devised to this end,
but these have all more or less
fallen short of their purpose. It
would seem that to reach this
end, tho work of education must
include our public schools. This
work should bo made both at
tractive and practical. Our state,
in a measure, is committed to the
rnnntv hiirh school. If, in con
nection with these high schools,
a demonstration farm could bo
maintained, this would afford an
excellent means of stimulating
an interest in farm life and would
also prove to be a lively factor in
tho promotion of better genoral
mothods of husbandry. Such a
farm could bo maintained co
operatively by tho Btate and
county. It would not only bo a
means of great educational value
to tho high school students, but
would also bo of intense practical
interest to tho general farmer.
Such a farm would demonstrate
to tho farmer, tho possibilities of
nnn nrni IllflLlon in
that locality,
-i' i , ,
WUUiu uauulu i.i ..... . ....
l .,n. irol niliiPdtinn nnd investiga
tion for tho county, and if proper-
uoh iw vw "" '"'""
lv conducted, would bo an impor-
-. -.. -f information to tho
, a vaiuaj,i0 agency in dis-
seminating a knowledge ot cor -
rect principles of agriculture
among farmors.
Those farms should bo brought
under the immediate supervision
of tho Government Experiment
Station of tho state, so that tho
work can bo co-ordained and
economically administrated. Such
farms should bo established upon
a permanent basis and whononco
established, should only bo dis
continued by an act of tho Leg
islature. It is truo n movement of this
character will require some mon
ey, but nothing in comparison
with tho increased value of tho
farm and tho development of an
active sentiment in behalf of
rural pursuits.
The finnncial hopo of tho stato
is in agriculture. Thus, if Ore
gon is to becomo great, it must
first instill into tho hearts of our
people a love for tho farm. Wo
must reach out for our boys and
anchor them to tho farm by
showing them ils possibilities.
The modern country home is the
citadel of purity and tho repre
sentative of strength. When
learning is made the handmaid
of toil on tho farm, the future of
our state and Nation is assured.

"Murder in the first degree"
was tho indictment brought in
by the grand jury Tuesday after
noon against Eminjt Shields,
Earl Shields, Ben 'Htnton and
Albert Green. The sensation of
the day was tho indictment for
the same crime which was brou
ght in ngainist Debuty Sheriff
Joseph II. Casoday. About noon
Tuesday Deputy Sheriff W. W.
Howell and Herbert Powell left
the court house armed with a
warrant of arrest for Cascday.
The accused was sitting in front
of the Hupprich & Blank sa
loon chatting' with his friends
when tho deputy sheriffs appre
hended him. On the reading of
the warrant of arrest Caseday
showed considerable emotion and
was preceptiblo affected, but
without a word was led to the
county jail by the deputy sheriffs.
Ho was placed in jail with the
four others, who wero accused of
the crime of murder in tho first
degree.
It is alleged in the indictment
that these are the parties, who,
on tho night of December 2, 1909
shot and killed Oliver Snyder.
The facts as brought out at that
time and which wero rumored
are to tho effect that Oliver
Snyder in a sheep camp near
Monument shot and killed A. G.
Green.
Snyder was brought to Hamil
ton by Caseday. Here a stop
was made and it was first decid
ed to remain over night. Feel
ing was running high. After
night Caseday started with his
prisioner for tho county seat and
when ncaring Fox valley was
held up by n mob, his prison
er taken from him nnd killed.
It is claimed Snyder was told to
get out of the rig. Ho was then
placed on a horse and a ropo
thrown around his neck prepar
atory to lynching him. The rope
it is stated was to short to reach
the limb of a tree which had
been picked out as tho place of
execution, so this manner of
death was abandoned. Snydor
was tnen taken from the horse
and was asked by one of the
lynchers if he was responsible
for the death of Green, to which
ho answered "yes". Ho was
then shot and the prostrate form
riddled with bullets. Blue Mt.

Whilo official figures are not

of the Supremo Court since the

that Tho Oregonian's figures are
approximately correct.
An interesting feature of tho

possibility that Multnomah Coun

Representation m the present
Congress is on a basis of one

gress is likely to bo increased by
tho addition of 20 membors on a

representatives would be on n
basis of one for each 215,000 peo

INDUSTRIAL NOTES.
(Portland Correspondence.).
Never did Oregou look so clean
spick and span as at the present
time. Eastern and Central Oregon
have had rains at just exactly the
right time. Western and South
ern Oregon aro intensely prosper
ous, and tho carpenter, cabinet
maker, painter designer land
scape artist and busy housewife
have had more than they could do
in every section, for tho disposi
tion to clean up nnd paint up and
put the best foot foremost was
nover more contngeous than at
tho present time.
Tho Good Roads campaign now
being conducted by Judge Lionel
H. Webster throughout Oregon is
not only attracting an unusual
amount of newspaper comment,
but the Judgo is convincing his
audiences that only in Multno
mah county can taxation bo do
ponded upon for good roads thro
ugh Portland's heavy tax contri
bution, and that long time bonds
issued are about tho only way to
got good roads during tho lifo
timo of tho present generation
throughout the stato at large. A
constitutional amendment will bo
required to bring this about.
Tho trip through Oregon of
Presidont Louis W. Hill of tho
Great Nothem Railway has prob
ably occasioned a grater amount
of newspaper comment in tho pa
pers of tho stato than has been ac
corded tho visit of any other man
during the last ten yeilrs. Mr.
Hill's entranco into Central Ore
gon from Shnniko was somowhat
arduous, as ho started immedate
ly aftor tho hardest rain for
twelve months which has resulted
in makeing somo of tho roads al
most inpassable, but ho was de
termined to seo all thero was to
see, and his personal discomfort
was nover mentioned. In overy
placo ho had something dofinito
and decisivo to say. His visit
has Berved hb a termondous on
couragoment to those interested
in tho dovclopmont of Orogon,
Tho Dalles as a pattern-setter
foi good fellowship sent over one
hundred of its leading citizens,
accompanied by a brass band, to
n meeting at Mosier.
Prairie City, which will bo tho
new terminus of tho Sumpter
Valley Railroad within a few
weeks, has inaugurated publicity
movement, and at a rousing meet
ing every man present joined tho
Commercial Club.
"Sunset Magzino" for June de
voted its first cover page and
many inside pages to tho vast
development that is going on in
Oregon. "Telling Oregon Truths"
by A. C. Jackson was especially
complimentary to the work of
tho Oregon Development League.
MOTELS AS BOOSTERS OF TOWNS
Give tho town a good hotel and
it will give tho town a good name.
As n booster of a place o first
class hotel is a success. It goes
without saynig that a hotel of
tho first rank must have a cap
able landlord, fine cuisine and
cxccllant service. Not only for
the needs of tho public attended
to, but its comfort is looked after
It makes friends of its patrons
and thoy becomo friends of tho
town, says the Christiance Sci
enco Journtl. The commercial
traveler delights to reach that
point on his route where thero is
nn up-to-date hostelry; he con
tinually sings praises of the place.
The general traveler is equally
appreciative, and both add to the
frame and also to tho prosperity
of tho town. A wide-wake land
load can do more for the advance
of a town than half a dosen of
its merchants and manufacturers.
What is truo of a small place
is equally true in a larger degree
of the city. Take tho landlords
of tho leading hotels the country
over and note how they have
brought their cities into promin
ence. Where there are the best
hotels, there you will sec associa
tion flocking for their conven
tion and annual gathering. Their
members bring monoy and busi
ness. It is claimed that there is
no publicity mora genoral, more
widespread mora effective than
that which is tho result of hotel
corridor conversations. Hotel
men themselves are becoming
great travelers in their annual
tours across tho country for their
reunions, and whatever city they
visit gets a big advertising boom.
Our landlords must be enterpris
ing; that they arc broad-minded
and generous is shown continual
ly by the public spirit they mani
fest in behalf of the communities
in which they aro located.
