111’, trip to the stat* of Oregon.
A trip through the state of Oregon
and especially through the coast-ranges
to Tillamook county, located on the
Pacific coast is one which affords a great
deal of pleasure to the participants. As
yet no railroad leads into this latter
place. One has been begun and will be
completed next year. The trip to Tilla­
mook from Portland is hy rail to Forest
Grove and by stage from thia place
through the timberladen mountain* The
place can also lie reached by boat from
Portland. 'I he stag* trip ie much the
quickest and thia waa the manner in
which the writer in company with State
Dairy and Pure Food Commissioner Mr.
J. W. Bailey and several other com­
posing tlie party reached Tillamook City
The distance to travel by etage ia about
aixty miles. The trip was fille'l with
interesting incidents in exhilirating Bur
roundings of which the writer cannot
now relate The purpose of this short
article is chiefly to tell a few things
about Tillamook county. Oregon, as a
dairy district, and about the Tillamook
county Street Fair and Carnival. Th*

Dairy Farming in Tillamook.
Conditions existing In Tillamook
county, Oregon, affords one <>t th* best
examples of whet esn be accomplished
through dairy farming tn a western new
country. This county is known all over
the west for th* large quantity and high
quality of cheese produce»!. The out-
put of cheese from this country during
thia year amounts to about four million
pounds. A Imat leaves weekly from
this city.
Yesterday the boat was
loaded with $12.000 worth of cheese

k*ts where prices are highest. 'this
cheese now nets the farmers seventeen
cents per pound an»l the cheese buyer*
expect it to go still higher. There ia a

Sir. Bailee, Stats Dairy Commissioner,
estimates that the value this year of the
cheese output from Tillamook county, is
$800,000, being a return of more than
$120 for every man. woman and child.
Such an income of uew money is
bound to bring prosperity and there is
evidence on every hand that such is the
ease. Ths farming section of this state
ia as fine a country as the writer lias
ever seen in the United
* * ' ~ States The
farmers are all uniformly well off.
Large flue red painted barns are seen on
every hand, The dwelling houses are
likewise neat ami commodious. The
land is level and the portion of it near
th», flue mountain streams ia doited with
stumps »»1 heavy timber and some shrub­
bery. Nearly all of the land has lieen
seeded down to re»l clover and timothy.
This ia green all the year arouu I and
affords «uperb hay and pasture for
dairy cows. At this time of the year
the hay crop is remove») and the grass
lias taken a second growth, making
plenty of extra g,*nl fee.1 for the cows.

It is sale to sav that the dairy cows
in Tillamook county average higher in
production than the cows in any other
one county in the United States Last
year the average* production of each
cow was 5.600 pounds of milk, bringing
a return of $70 per cow. The writer
talked with one man whose cows last
vear brought him a groat i income tier
cow of little more than |100. The cost
of keeping a cow per year in Tillamook
counts it about $25. Some men weigh
and test the milk from every i cow in the
herd.
a
excclls for dairying. The pastures are
green all the time and cows pick some
grass all through the vear. The county
is sheltered on the east by the timber
and mountains and the ocean hreexe
from the west moderate* and equalises
the temperature. The temperature is
high enongh to grow crops but it is
never hot. Nights are al way cool and
pleasant. The atmosphere is damp, the
rainfall being more than 100 inches.
Most of the land is rich, low and
level. No bare and burnt out places
are seen anywhere as are commonlv
found in inland farming sections. No
grain is raised in any place It is said
that there is not a single threshing
machine in the county. Praticallv all
of the land is used for pasture and hav
land. When a patch of land is needed
down to tame grass it is usually put
into oats. This latter crop grows
luxuriantly. The oat crop is cut green
and fed to the cows at once, or it is
cured for hav.

been in the dairy business for a number
of years; but it is »luring the last ten
years that the people have become
financially independent, Many of the

Such a dairying community and in

short a time, if the people had not been
inspired and the industry safely guided
bv some broad minded and far seeing
persons It is safe to sav that the State
Dairy and Food Commissioner, Mr. J.
W. Bailey, has done more to further the
dairy interest of Oregon than any other
one man. The fact that he has served
as commissioner for ten successive years
is sufficient recognition from the people
showing the extent to which his seryic*»
are appreciated.

Charge
Against
Priest
Who
Opened Up Land Frauds.
T ony , Wit.. Sept. 26—Ilev. Joseph
Schell, pastor of the local
’
* Catholic
Church, who claims to have opened up
the Oregon land frauds by a letter r< »
Roosevelt written while he was pastor
of a church in the lumber section of the
Pacific Coast state was today arrested
upon complaint of a I"C h I taxpaiei
charged with having obtained money
under false pretenses from the local
township officials. Some time ago the
Township Board settled with John
Feiine for alleged injuries to his wife
who fell upon a defective sidewalk and
gave premature birth to twins by giving
him a certain amount of cash and agree
ing to pay all expenaeg.
The twins died and among the bills
presented to the Town Board and paid
was a bill of $10 for attending the
funeral services of the two children
After the bill w as paid it was claimed
that the priest never saw the children
and had not attended the services. A
local newspaper started the prosecution
by making a public charge which w as to­
day followed by the formal charge before
the District Attorney. The airest was
to settle the charge.
The priest defend« himself in an open
letter in which he sa ys that he never pur
in a bill to the Town Board and never
secured any money from the Trustees
and accuses the Trustees and others of
trying to belittle his work. The charge
follows the efforts made by the priest to
secure a Governmental investigation of
a local bank failure which resulted in
the discovery that the Wisconsin priest
w ’ hh the same man who opened the
Oregon frauds and the frauds committed
upon the Indians in Nebraska a little
later. The Town Treasurer says that he
has both the order and the indorsed
check of Father Schell.

How It and the Conductor’s Supremacy
Came to Be Established.
Although there does not seem to be
anything iu common between pugilism
and railroad rules, yet the adoptlqp of
the familiar bell rope that stretches
through every car of the modern train
was the result of a fistic encounter. At
the same time and by the issue of the
same combat the supremacy of the con­
ductor in railroad travel was ordained.
It was Philadelphia which gave both
to the world.
One of the oldest railroads in the
country 1* the Philadelphia, Wilming­
ton and Baltimore, now known as the
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing
ton. which was opened in 1837. The
terminus in Philadelphia was at Broad
and Prime streets—Prime street now
being known as Washington avenue—
and after crossing the Schuylkill river
at Gray's Ferry the route ran along the
Delaware river on what is now the
Chester line of the Reading railway.
The first schedule contained one pas­
senger train, which went to Baltimore
one day and came back the next, which
was considered it remarkable feat in
rapid travel. When a train a day each
way was placed In service the people
of the two cities served concluded that
the acme of convenience in transporta­
tion had been reached.
Next to the president of the railroad
the most Important functionaries were
the engineer and conductor. It was a
question whether or not the head of
the line was not considered a subsidi­
ary officer in popular estimation to the
men who ran the train, but Robert
Fogg, who pulled the throttle, and
John Wolf, who collected fares, won
the deference of the public because of
their high and responsible duties.
Fogg, an Englishman, had all the
tenacity of opinion of his race. Wolf,
an American, had the Ingenuity of the
Yankee and, seeing the need of some
method by which he could communi­
cate with the engineer, devised the
scheme of running a cord through the
cars to the locomotive. As the engine
was a wood burner, Wolf fastened one
end of the cord to a log, which was
placed on the engineer’s seat and was
pulled to the floor when the conductor
desired to signal for a stop.
Fogg resented what he considered an
Interference with his rights on the
platform of the locomotive and on the
first run out from Broad and Prime
streets with the new device paid no
heed to the displacement of the log
from the seat when the conductor de
sired to take on a passenger from a
farm near Gray’s Ferry, but sped on
over the bridge and did not deign to
bring his engine to a stop until Blue
Bell station, on the south side of the
Schuylkill, had been reached. Then
he demanded to know of Wolf why he
had been Jerking that log all about the
locomotive.
Wolf hotly declared that he had sig­
naled to stop, but Fogg retorted that
he would stop when and where he
pleased and that, too, without any ref­
erence to orders from the conductor,
whom he did not regard as his superior
In the management of the train. The
altercation grew very heated, and Wolf
Invited the engineer from the cab to
settle the matter, and the challenge
was quickly accepted.
Passengers and a group of men who
had gathered at the station to see the
train come In formed a ring about the
combatants, but the fight did not last
long, ns Wolf proved by far the su­
perior artist with hts fists and with
a few blows made It almost Impossible
for the englueer to see suiuclently to
complete his run. but Fogg admitted
that he had been fairly beaten, and the
supremacy of the conductor on a train
was settled for all time.
As the log signal was crude and In­
effective. Wolf devised the use of a
bell on the locomotive, and this method
was soon adopted by all of the Amer­
ican railroads. Then a code of sig­
nals was adopted, and these remain
practically to this day. The oily
change In the bell cord is that by use
of the air from the brake system a
whistle has superseded the bell In the
locomotive cab.—Philadelphia ledger.
