GOOD WORDS FOR OREGON
Prominent Eastern Livestock Dealer
Was Greatly Pleased With Ex-
hibit at Oregon State Fair.

K. L. Hartman, livestocl
auctioneer Of Buncetown, Mo-, VIII,
attended the Oregon State Fair thi
year, writes to the Breeders Gazette
of Chicago, as follows:
Il am just home from a trip t
the far West, where | went to con
duct the big auction sales Of cattle
horses and hogs at the state fair al
Salem, Oregon. AS you know
Salem is situated in the heart d
the famous Willamette Valley
which lies between the Cascade and
Coast ranges Of mountains in West
ern Oregon. tits about this country,
its people, its agricultural and its
livestock industries that | want
you to hear. In the first place this
Willamette Valley is a veritable
paradise-certainly the richest and
most productive section of the
country | ever heard Of. The land
produces 40 or so bushels of wheat
to the acre, oats and barley in the
same proportion. They do not talk
about bushels Of potatoes, beets and
turnips- they grow by the tons.
They do not grow corn extensively
because the nights are too cool, but
they raise all the corn they need.
Alfalfa yields the most enormous
crops; they cut it four times year.
"Hop raising is quite an industry
there. Some lands yield 800
worth per acre at 25 cents per
pound, which is the present market
price. If | were to tell you about
the fruit industry, you would not
believe it. | never saw such dis
play of fruit and agricultural pro-
ducts at any fair.
"lt>is fast becoming a great live
stock country. The exhibits of
cattle, horses, hogs and sheep were
very creditable indeed and the
races were fully up 10 any Grand
Circuit meeting. caE STOCK sales
were very successful, especially the
sales Of Shorthorn and Hereford
cattle, which brought even better
prices than at our sales in Wash
ngton last June. The beef breeds

Middle West country are becoming
immensely popular with the farmers

THE HOLY ROLLERS
Conversion Of "The Black Deyip'
Stirs Up Band Of Religious
Fanatics in Corvallis.

Corvallis is the scene Of one 0
the most startling displays o
religious fanaticism in the history
Of Benton county. An order which
styles itself "The Holy Rollers
figures in the display. Several
months ago a Swede by the name
OF Krafel made his appearance in
Corvallis and secured from the
ranks of the Salvation Army, a few
followers, and together they estab-
lished headquarters in the north
end of town. Their services became
so uproarious, lasting at times ali
night, that they we're driven by the
authorities outside fthe city limits.
Since that time they have had
their headquarters at the home Of
Q. Y. Hurt, across Mary's River,
and Immediately adjacent to Cor
wallis.
The Rollers have captured most
Of the members Of the Salvation
Army contingent, and Captain
Brooks, Of the latter organization,
recently attended the meeting Of
the Holy Rollers with hope Of re-
gaining his lost forces. At this
meeting Brooks was converted to
the new faith, and in the presence
of his congregation he stripped off
his uniform and burned it. After
that he and Krafel have conducted
regular meetings at the Hurt home. |
The number Of converts to the
new faith aggregates about twenty,
beside the Hurt family,
Mrs. Louis Hartley and daughter,
reputable ladies and former mem
bers of the Methodist Episcopal
and two or three other
families. A climax was reached
Wednesday night, when 0. v. Hurt,
the head Of the family at whose
home these meetings have been
held, was converted. He tele-
phoned his resignation to KIine's|
store, where he was head salesman.
The band hold continuous meet
ngs and communion, as they claim,
With the Lord. Wednesday night
VII the furniture, curtains, and
amily heirlooms were burned. The
idewalks were torn up in front Of
lome, shubbery and grapevines in
he yard were destroyed, and it is
laimed by the neighbors that a
log and two cats were killed and
A sign bearing the inscription, ]
Positively no admittance except
hose who work for God," has been
laced upon the gate. Neighbors
nd other citizens are refused ad- C
1ittance to the house by the So |
allied ministers in charge. Friday o
light a stream Of people from Cor |
ailis were continually going and {
oming from the premises, where S
le meeting was held inside the s
ouse without lights. Most of the n
lctims of this startling fanaticism, p
nd especially the Hurt family and r.
le Hartleys, have been counted as @
enton county's most esteemed b
tizens. V.Hurt, the last victim CT
the faith, has been in the past 81
rominent factor in the affairs of ST
orvallis and the county. h
Mrs. Hurt, her son and two B
aughters have been Holy Rollers
r some time, and have done every
ling in their power to influence
e husband and father to join ii
EN-, but he had SO successfully R
Ithstood their prayers and those nj
their fanatical leaders that he ca

rts as the "Black Devil" His 90

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

A German girl, once said til at
she could tell to what nationality a
man belonged just by seeing him
leave a train, without even seeing
his face. The German, she says,
stalks out leaving his wife to fol-
low in the best way she can, the
Englishman is punctilious and
bored, the Frenchman, nervous,
cross and garrulous, the Dane, sad
and solicitous, while the American
is the only one who goes about his
duty in a quick. pleasant and eff.
cient manner, as though it were q
pleasure instead of a disagreeable
task.

Our attention has lately been
called to the remarkably prevalent
habit among grown people of teas
ing children. Tor instance taking
the childs playthings and making
him hunt for them, just for the
sake of amusement for his elders.
We have all seen a crowd of grown
people sitting near while a child
was playing with some toy, and
paying no attention to any bod y
desiring attention from no one.
Suddenly some one takes the toy,
expecting the child to try to get it,
and when the child comes to re-
ceive it, passes it, unknown to the
child, to a second person, he in
turn to third, etc. The child is
thus teasel and pestered till he
has no patience left, for he. hav-
ing very keen sense of Justice
as all children have-reallZes that
Il gross injustice has been practiced
upon him and should not be
blamed if he becomes very angry.
The disposition ct any child, no
difference how sweet and perfect
can be completely changed by such
treatment. If you must pester
some one take aperson of your own
age-one who can defend himself
and not defenceless child. We
are sure that the large majority of
reople who are guilty of this er-
ror do not realize that they are do
ing anything wrong. and 80 do not
hesitate to treat in this diabolical
manner the children who are near
est and dearest to them. Think!

TIMING cOLU:1N.

Often in locating a claim, the
prospector, having neither chain,
tape uor other means of measuring
the lines of his claim with even ap-
proximate accuracy, steps oil the
distances and locates accordingly.
1t rarely occurs that he appro-
pirates too little, the reverse being
usually the case. The courts have
held that such a location, where
made without injury to others at
the time it is made, is only void
able as to the excess claimed, and
not as to the whole claim, Upon
application for patent, the monu
nents may be changed and the
lines drawn in to cast off the excess.
An excessive location cannot he
said to be fraud upon others, as
it cannot take away rights already
acquired by prior appropriation.
Subsequent locators may measure
the ground from the initial point
of the excessive location-the dis
covery stake or monument-and
this notice generally specifies the
number of feet the locator claims
in either direction along the lode;
but where it does not, the locator
can only claim $50 #. along the
vein ON each side of his. discovery
notice. Consequently, in the event
of an excessive location having
been made, and the locator having
neglected to state in his discovery
notice the number of feet lie claims
on each side nf his discovery stake
lie may hold 750 #. on one side of
the stake; but should he have less
than $50 it, on the opposite side,
where subsequent location has
been made abutting upon his claim
lie will be unable to secure his full
l0OO it., as he cannot encroach up
ON the newer locator On the end
of the claim he will lose all in ex-
cess of $50 It. In the absence OF
State or local law requiring pre-
liminary notice of location, l"ca-
or may claim an arsa 80 greatly in
excess of the statutory location rs
to indicate bad faith. There then
being no guide to the subsequent
locator. the entire claim may be
held as useless for any purpose and
wholly void. Oedoux vs.. Forester,

HELD AS a
PRISONER
REMARKABLE STORY OF JAPANESE TRAFFIC IN WOMEN
UNEARTHED BY INVESTIGATIONS OF THE STORY
OF A JAPANESE WOMAN-SEPARATED FROM HER
HUSBAND AND FORCED TO A LIFE OF SHAME

The most remarkable story of Japa-
nese slavery that has yet com to the
attention of the federal authorities in
their crusade against the traffic in wo-
men, was developed yesterday as a re-
suit of the investigation into the case
of n woman who came into the office
with n request for protection from a
man who held her as his slave and had
twice recaptured her after she escaped
The woman is a young japanese named
Yandga. Her statement, verified on
investigation, was to the effect that
she had been brought from Japan with
her husband, taken in charge by one
Isoye, who runs house of prostitution
and kept a prisoner ever since.
The woman stated that she was mar.
ried in Japan last October. Isoye went
there from here and met the young
couple, and he drew such a rosy picture
of life in Hawaii that they decided to
come, especially as he was willing to
pay their fare. When they landed
Isoye was here to meet them. He took
the young bride in charge, forced her
to go to his establishment on Pauahi
