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.

THE CONVENTION
OF COUNTY COURTS
The convention of county courts
held In Portland last weekv was cer
tainly a success. 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. Tlinro
Is hardly a county In the state but
what has wasted thousands of dol
lars In the matters of road tniichln-

of September by The Mnnsfoldt

On tho program Euln Howard

Miss Howard seems to be almost

exquisite poetry with which she In
vested the nocturne on this occasion
Is Indescribable and lnndo the big
