COFFEE PLANT IS EXIIIBITAT SHOW Tropical Plant Is Grown In Crook Co., Adjoin Ing Lake REPORT OF THIRD RAIL Ciintii.ued from first page return from a three weeks trip through the east during which ie vi sited New York. Pittsburg, Cnicago an. I a num ber of other big cities of the eastern states. His trip was a combination honeymoon and business trip, following his recent marriage. "The business off the road this year is a record breaker," continued Mr. Dunaway," and we are perfectly satis- , tied with the way things are going. The story regarding the laying of a broad guage rail emanated from some of the officers of the Western Pacific or some of its agents, but I can say at this time, that there is no truth in it. The work would cost $400,000 at least and this road would have tu tear it all as we would not enter into any arrange ments with the Western Pacific which would give them a bard at the undertaking. That road has no money for any ad ditional construction .work now and could not go into the proposition if we ; wanted them to. j "We cannot Eee where brond gunge- j ing our line would help our business! to any- appreciable extent, at least; not enough to warrant the expenditure of so large a sum of money. Just as soon as Keno can show us an increased 1 volume cf traffic from so doing, then we will be ready to spend the money." I In regard to equipment Mr. Du"a- , way said that two additional freight locomotives, of class A, similar to en gines 11 and 12 now in service are to be ordered from the Baldwin locomo tive works, bringing tiie total of loco motives In use by the railroad tr 14. Freight cars are being made in the cumpany's shops as needed, a number of them now being in process of build ing. The season has been an excellent one and as a result of the work that has been done on the Oregon end of the line in opening and settling the coun try, it is figured that a big increase- in freight hgures will be noted next year. Speaking of conditions in the east, Mr. Dunaway stated that the entire country appeared very prosperous, and that money was dear. He admitted that there was some, slight apprehen sion concernit g the action that would be taken o the tariff question, but did not fear there would be any industrial reaction "The country is too prosperous," he I said, "The whole nation is putting out a crop t.'i it is simply wonderful this ! year. All lines of manufacture, are ! active and industrial coniitions are I such tiat I believe tariff tinkering will ' have i'urdly any effect except in a few ' instances." REPORT ON STATE'S GAME j Cuntb lied from first page Crook l,5n0, Lake 1.500, Linn 1,500, Grant 1.500, Benton 1,000, Tillamook i 1.00O, Lincoln 1,000. j Mountain sheep are found in a few i c1 unties, Grant being credited with 5, i Harney with 10, Baker with 50, Wal I Iowa with 90. The counties in which tear abound are as follows: Lane, Douglas and Curry counties, MOO each; Union 1000, Columbia, Grant Jackson and Lincoln, 1000 each; Tillamook, 760: Clatsop, 700; Coos and Josephine, 500 each: Washington, 400 : Klamath, Linn and Yamhill, 300 each : Baker and Crook, 250 each: Lake, 200: Wallowa, 150; Morrow, Clackamas and Umatilla, 100 each : Benton, Wasco and Wheeler, 50 each, Harney 40. Antelope are found in six counties. Malheur containing 2000. Lake 1500, Harney 1000, Crook 90, Wasco 20, Grant 15. There is but one exhibiin the Land Products Show where the coffee bean can be found as it grows. Amazing as it may seem, that exhibit is from Crook County, the semi-arid realm where there are cold night the year through, and where drv farming me thods are necessary, aayi the Portland Telegram. The coffee ha been grown on a mere bush, which the expert man ager of the exhibit tias nursed to ma turity just to show what be ran do. The exhibit suggests anything but a tropical jungle, where coffee in its natural state thrives. If ever an ex hibit was arranged to make the west cm plainsman homesick, it is this. After looking at it for a moment, you can smell the sage brush smoke ot the Indian tepee, hear the buo raroos rid ing through the greasewood aa they attend the Fall rodeo, and see the steers fattening on the whitened bunch grass of the rolling hills. If ever a setting was designed which would sug gest the opposite of a coffee plantation, it is that whiff from whac the world ha regarded the "Kastern Oregon Desert." But the coffee is there in its native pod, on the bush which grew on a Prineville farm. It is not Mocba nor Java, but the veracious word of the master of the exhibit is given, that it is real coffee, of the bush variety, and thai its home wns where the coyote serenade at night and the jackrabbua dlspo't all the time. Kor originality, it is conceded bv visitors that the Prineville exhibit is remarkable. It illustrates the pace of development between He Rockies and the Cascades, where i... sage brush is universal. An ndian teepee is on the I right, begrimed with smoke, from I which it would not surprise one to see ! the greasy face of a Piute obtrude. There is greasewood and sage brush next, and then the famous b'jnch grass iust as it Is taken from the EMstern Oregon hills. Then comes the Hrst pro ducts of the white man. .nd finally all the vegetables and fruits known to the region. Crook County immediately adjoins Lake on the north, and while we have grown the tobacco plant in this county, Crook's cotfee industry out goes us just one point.

THOMPSON WINSJNK CASE Interesting: Suit Comes to Trial In Ft. Bidwcll, California to be equal to any Beer brewed. Bot tled and on draught at all leading saloons Reno Brewing Co. Inc. 1 r 1)rV;w!rr,lJ HrtiatfiM It'--1 ii What is said to be a very stubbornly contested law suit was the ea"e of A. B. Glasier vs. the li-mk of Ft. Hi. J well, which was concluded at Ft. Bidwell last week. The verdict was decided in favor of the Bank, ar.d the plaintiff agreed not to appeal upon return ot his mining stock and the payment of the courts costs by the defendant. In regard to the history of the trial the Ft. Bidwell News gives thk follow ing: Last Sentember Sylvester Blazer, of Vina, California, sent $250 to the bank to be paid to Dr. A. B. Glaaier upon delivery of stock in the Consolidated Companv, "transferred on the books of the company." Glasier endorsed the stock in blank, delivered it to the rank and demanded the money. The bank deferred payment pending word from Blazer as to the sufficiency ot conditions. Blazer refused the stock. The bank sent it to Detroit for trans fer. Blazer wired the company not to transt.r me biock to him and it was returned to the bank, where it was re fused by Glasier because the endorse ment to Blazer hud been inserted over hin signature and he could not secure a retrai.bfer to himself. 'I he bank returned the S250 to Blazer and "stood pat." Suit was brought before Judge Garrett bv Glasier, through his attor ney, K. A. Sherman. The bank sent to Lakeview, Oregon for Senator W. Lair Thompson as counsel and asked for a jury. Seventy eight veniremen were called and only ninu qualified, so the case was tried with a ahort jury. The jury failed to agree and a retrial waa had before Judge Wentzell, of Cedar ville, the decision going to the defen dant. Because of the large venire every line of business was practically at a standstill during the trial. Both ides seem satisfied with the decision and stipulation not to appeal. Mrs. Sib Uarber this week returned from the state hospital at Salem and will make her home with Mrs. Gordon Garrett in thia city. Her many triends will be glad to hear of her return and that she has ei.tirely recovered from her illness. After January 1st, 1013, farmers and rural resident who are within the reach of the United States postal service will have the benefit of the Parcel Post, which will become effective at that time. This will give the farmer a chance to send their butter, eggs and other perishable products to market in small quantities, without spending the time to drive in with It themselves, which will of course be cheaper than they could do themselves when the amount Is not large. Postmaster Ahlstrom of Lakeview has not received any instructions ot stamps for carrying on the service a yet and probably will not until after the first of Dccemier. There being four malls rnutea In and out of Lakeview manv people in all directions will oe in closer touch with the local merchant Hnd consumers. 'I he following figures, compiled by those who have studied the coming effects of Parcels Post, will illustrate the result of handling eggs within a fifty mile zone : The farmer may get even more for his eggs than he doe now, and the con sumer may not have to pay 19 much. In other words the parcels post may te the connecting gency by which the man who nwns tne hen and the people who eat the eggs may Bet together to their mutual advantage. As we are told by the expert a dozen eggs will weigh about one pound, and the onstage on that dozen eggs, let us say in a fifty mile zone, will be Scents, with 3 cent' extra for every additional duzen up to eleven pounds. The pos tal charge on eleven dozen eggs, pre suming that they weigh 11 pounds, will be .1.ri rents, little better than '.i cents a dozen. "Strictly fresh" eggs are sold, delivered at the homes of resi dents by hucksters anil others at 10 cents ahove the retail market price In the stores'. The retailer's profit, the commission and the express charge must tie fig ured in before we ran get down to the price which the hen owner, fifty mile out of the city, gets fur his product. I By the parcels post there may be a I short cut and direct communication be tween thBt man and ultimate con sumer. Will the parties chiefly inter ested take advantage of that short cut, and if so, to what extent? The best answer to these questions is to be tound in the experience ot the people of other countries where the parcels post is established. By that experience the answer is "yea" to the first question and "to a considerable extent" to the other. It will only be a matter of time and adjustment to the use of the new agency of diatribu- ! tion which the Government is Bbnut to afford: and we may rely upon it, that we will not only be dealing direct with our country t ( irMiora in eggs, but in many ether l"i. k f table produce that may be readily shinped in small quantities.
