DEVELOPMENT BY EVANS CREEK FARMER Louis C. Sivers Has a Variety His Own Propagation. of Louis C. Sivers, who lives up on Evans creek, 23 miles from this city, brought to town on Thursday some onions which were without question a first-class article. They were the product of his own propagation after IS years of experiment. Mr. Sivers rivals hi this respect Burbank, the wizard of the vegetable field. Start Ins IS years ago with a Wosterfleld procured from Win. Henry Maule, of Philadelphia, he lias crossed it with the perfect globe by taking one onion of each variety and planting them alternately in the rows in the nroduetion of seed. This with the heli of polonteation by bees, has in these years so changed the original that after 12 years Mr. Maule, the noted seed man, pronounced the onion entirely changed from the orig inal purchased from him. Mr. Sivers says this onion is purely an Oregon production. He, of course, is en thusiastic on the onion question, on which subject he is, without doubt, the best authority in the whole'eoun try. He is known as the king among onion growers. At the district fair hold in this city two years ago ho took the first prize and his onions attracted much attention. The onions he brought in Thursday arelh's on exhibition in O'Neill's window at the furniture ' store. Three of them weighed four pounds and half and the quarter acre where they were grown produced, on an average, three of these onions to the foot. In the quarter of an acre there is Il'mK) feet. Averaging these onions at one pound each there would be oG.Oi'O pounds to be quar rer of an acre. As Incredible as this would seem Hie onions are to be seen and there is a1. umlaut proof as to the ield and woichl. ' crops will stand shipping and the large yield per acre will pay the freight even as far as the Missouri valley, and the quality Is such as to enable them to find a ready market anywhere. These two vegetables can win in competition with the products of any other state In the union. Experiments will doubtless prove that "th.r crops can be grown with equal advantage. This subject should be taken up by our thoughtful men who have faith in our climate and soil when aided by irrigation. We should like to hcai1 on this subject from S. II. Rlggs, the man who talks interestingly of the adaptation of our soil to celery culture, and from Louis Sivers, the onion king. Sunday Orogoiiian Portland, Ore.. March, 1906.

Almost every fea ture of county court work was thoroughly discussed, and tho con sensus of opinion was that the time had come when there should be greater uniformity of procedure on the part of Oregon county courts. Very few county courts In the state heretofore have known much about what other county courts were do ing. No county In the state has re ceived much benefit from the ox- perience of other counties. When we take Into consideration the fact that the maximum business of the entire state Is under the sup ervision of our county courts, It can then be seen that tho men who com pose these courts should be thor oughly prepared for every detail of their work. We of this county mav profit by the experience of other counties, and other counties, per haps, may profit by our experience, and there Is no more accessible way to this experience than In Just such a convention as the one we have Just held. The discussions clearly revealed the fact that much of our county work could be shortened and simpli fied by a little Intelligent legislation. This Is especially true In probate matters, which come exclusively un der tho supervision of the county judge, and matters of taxation which affects every man, woman and child In the Btate. The association will hold Its next convention the third Tuesduj in next September, and In order to expedite business, Judge Grant H. Dlinlck. of Clackamas county, Judge J. W. Goodwin, of Washington county, and Judge Stephen Jewell, of this coun ty, were appointed a committee on program. They will also recom mend such legislation as may seem needful. As to the expenses of those who represent the counties In these con ventions, there Is certainly no one little enough to think that the Judges and commissioners should "ay them. The work they are do ing these conventions Is. for the benefit" of the taxpayers of each ounty and their expenses should be 'inld. They will be enabled by these conventions to give the oeople better service nnd at the same time effect a saving of - many thousands of doll lira.
