The funeral was held this morning from Bovee's undertaking parlors, this city. Mr. King, who at the time of his death was pust HO years of age, came to Oregon with his parents in 1847. They traveled across the plains by ox team and entered Oregon in Harney Co., coming on westward until they reached Prineville. On Tuesday of this week Mr. King attended the celebration of the completion of the new bridge across the Willamette river at this place and the speeches made caused past recollections to come to mind of the aged pioneer and with a number of friends gath ered around him in a lawyers of fice, told of some of the Indian tights their party had in crossing the state of Oregon and of the impression lie had of the Willa mette valley on reaching it The family located at King's Valley which was named-by Mr. King's AGRICULTURAL BILL MEANS MUCH BENEFIT J.

Portland Journal. New Industry Now Being Developed In Central Ore. Portland Journal; That cen tral Oregon is destined to be a hog raising locality on a large scale is foreshadowed by the ex perience of Parmer Saunders, living in the I Well Hutte section of Crook county. Some fourteen months ago tins gentleman pur chased one brood sow mid a boar from the First National Hank of Bend, which institution has boon buying fine breeding stock in car load lots and selling same to the farmers with the intention of developing this branch of agri culture. The first litter that the how brought into this world consisted of 11 females. These were in due time bred and uo.t.o of them have already brought forth lit ters, so that theri are as many us 80 pigs running around Farmer Saunders' pens and yards, all of which are of the Red Jersey breed and practically of the same color and characteristics. That this industry will prove profitable seems inevitable, lor nowhere in central Oregon, which consists of Crook, Lake, Harney and Kla as to the correct method to fol low in order to secure the great est returns from the hard labor and expenses which they put on the lands. In the vast sparsely settied counties wrong methods and ignorance of conditions often result in ruin to the new settler. In other sections of the state in correct methods mean compara tive failure. The farmer, espe cially the newcomer, to the state, does not get anywhere the return that he expected to get and that he should get if he thoroughly understood conditions. The young men and women who are attending the agricult ural college from all parts of Oregon are receiving an invalu able practical education, but this is not the paramount need of the citv. The agricultural college and the various experiment sta tions throughout the state have accumulated a vast store of know ledge which is needed by the men on the land. The college has issued bulletins from time to time and these have done some good, but after working hard in the fields from early morn until late at night, the farmer has lit tle time or inclination to read bulletins. The settler, home steader or other newcomer de sires to come in personal contact with men who know and whose I business it is to help them to the knowledge that they need. Farm institutes, demonstration trains, etc., conducted by the ag ricultural college and the rail roads have been very successful but there have not been enough ot them, i ne college has never heretofore had sufficient funds to employ the men necessary or to even pay the traveling expen ses of the men whom they did have. On account of lack of funds the ' Oregon Agricultural College has i never been able to establish the traveling schools which have where it is done by the farmers themselves in conjunction with representatives of the agricult ural college is much effective. This has been conclusively dem onstrated in every state where it has been tried. With a field re presentative of the college in every locality, the progressive farmers can cooperate in making demonstrations which will have tremendous influence. In this way the farmer is shown how to secure the greatest possible re turns from the conditions as they exist upon his own farm. The representative of the college set! that the proper methods are followed and reports the results. The neighbors become interested everybody but it is up to the peo and the influence in that com- pie themselves to indicate to the county in Oregon tosid in install ing Agricultural courses in the public sch )ols. legislation is constantly being enacted by the national Congress making appropriations for this class of work. These appropria tions are invariably made contin gent upon the state cooperating with the Federal government. This bill makes it possible for Oregon to receive the benefits of this legislation. The measure was instituted by the Central Oregon Development league and its passage was urg ed by every development thruout the state. The Oregon Banker's Association, the Portland Union Stockyards and the railroads to gether with the various develoo ment organizations have hereto fore financed the larger part of all extension work that has been carried on in the state. The liberal policy of the Port land Commercial Club cannot be too heartily commended for its work in forwarding the passage of this bill. There is no doubt that without the assistance of the club it would have failed and Central Oregon owes the Port land organization a debt of grati tude. The farmers of Oregon are to be congratulated upon having sent to the legislature a body of men who would support such a constructive measure as this ag ricultural extension bill. While other sections of the state will receive material benefit from the law. Central Oregon will receive more than all other sections of the state combined.

This bill also provides for agri cultural instruction in the public schools which is the crying edu cational need of the present day. Some of this work has already been done in Oregon, but it has heretofore been financed by popular subscription. A valuable adjunct to agricultural education that has been provided by this bill will be the conducting of poultry, garden and livestock contests among the school child ren. Cooperation of school au thorities has heretofore been en tirely voluntary. The superin tendent of public instruction will of them were of any lasting bene now be required to see that this fit." sold by all dealers, course is taught and that agricul-1 tural education is made an integ ral part of the school course. The bill provides for the em ployment of two field m-n whose duty it will be to visit every college that they need help. Chronic Stomach Trouble Cured. There is nothing more discour aging than a chronic disorder of the stomach, and it is surprising that many suffer for years with such an ailment when a perma nent cure is within their reach and may be had for a trifle. "About one year ago," says P. H. Beck, of Wakelee. Mich., "I bought a package of Chamber lain's Tablets, and since using them I have felt perfectly well. I had previously used any number of different medicines, but none Patrons of the Burns post of fice have been very tolerant of the service received lately, not making much complaint as they knew a new contract for perma nent Rervice had been advertised and expected to get relief as soon as these were let. R. J. McKinnon & Son were awarded the contract from here to Vale to take effect the first of April on a IU hour schedule, but it was learned Thursday the line between Burns and Canyon was to be re-advertised, the bids to be opened April 15th. This was the last straw. The Vale line will be properly handled and is satisfactory but the bulk of the mail to this place comes by the but it is not what it should be, coming every other day and then not all the mail being brought in. The delayed mail comes in from every direction and there seems to be no effort made in respect to dates, leaving important mails indiscriminately at different sta tions until the business of Burns is in a most deplorable condition. Yesterday it was decided to again take the matter up and a strong protest was sent to the department at Washington ask ing relief. The post master at Canyon was instructed to get mall to Burns on the regular daily schedule regardless of the bond and the telegram, in addition to setting iorth the general mcon- way of Canyon and the business venience and serious crippling of men of Hums are not going to business, asked why the instruc sit idle and be placed at such in- tions have not been complied convenience for still another two with.

The First National Bank also has ordered several carloads of dairy cows, which will be sold to the farmers on time payments, the intention being to give an impetus to this industry along with the raising of hogs. A movement is also under way to establish at Bend a co-operative alcohol distillery to manu facture denatured alcohol from potatoes, in the hope of being able to use at all the wonderfully large crops of spuds that are grown within easy distance of this point, whether the market is low or otherwise. If the market is good the festive spud grown there will be shipped and if the selling price is low it will be turned into money via the alco hol route, with feeding of cattle on the by-products a part of the scheme in Idaho and in Washington. The passage of this bill means that such school can now be es tablished in Oregon. In all parts ot the state the farmers are making great suc cesses, each in his own specialty. Unlike other states, there never has been anyone in Oregon whose duty it was to visit these farm ers, learn the methods followed and disseminate the information for the guidance and direction of others. Millions of dollars will now be added to the state's wealth by having a corps of field men busy reporting upon successful agricultural methods and disseminating this informa tion where it will do most good. There are several experimen tal and demonstration farms throughout the state. Each of these has added materially to the store of knowledge possessed UNITED WAREHOUSE COMPANY BBND, OREGON Meats.
