purposes of practice no movements to-
ward the institution of teams which
could compete in intercollegiate indoor

This year however. it looks as though
matters might be different With the
completion of the new gymnasium at

IN indoor activities at that institution.

ONE MODEL FARM.
Fifteen Acres I'm Pennsylvania Paid
Off $1,000 Mortgage.

/ How 15-acre farm was managed
so as to pay mortgage of $1,000 in
six years and afterward yield a good
| profit, is told in a bulletin just issued
by the department of agriculture un-
der the title of "An Example of Model
Farming"
These results are said to have been
obtained by applying scientific prin-
ciples and business methods. The
most important lesson to be learned
from this achievement is that by the
use of modern methods, it is possible
to cause land to yield twice or three
times as much as the present average
from what are considered good meth
DDS.
As to whether this experience can
be duplicated on other farms is said
to depend on the soil and the man who
has the management of it. The most
important single feature of this farm,
aside from the remarkably systematic
way i'm which 1t was conducted, was
the manner of handling the manure.
The fact that the stock We're stabbed
the year round made 1t possible to
save all the manure. both liquid and
solid, and apply ii to the land.
Again, the fact that 1t was applied
daily, as produced, insured that any
leaehing by rains would carry the
leached materials into the soil, where
they are wanted.
The remarkable yields of every por-
ton of the farm would seem to indi-
cate that this method of handling
manure is highly satisfactory. The
name Of the man who accomplished
these remarkable results is Rev. ].
ID. DIETRICH, and the farm is located
at Flourtown. Pa.
1t is said that as result of the in
terest attracted to his work. through
articles published in various agricul-
tural journals, Mr., DIETRICH was so be-
sieged with visitors that he found it
impossible to carry on his work in a
satisfactory manner and was COM
PEELED to sell the farm. He has since
assumed the management of a large
farm in another locality and is now
engaged in developing 1t in the same
way.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-02-12

The Oregon Sunday Journal reviews
the gubernatorial situation in Oregon
as follows:
After debating for many weeks
whether he preferred to be governor,
state treasurer, congressman or United
States senator. f. l.. Smith, of Hood
River, has at last determined that the
first named office Is most to his liking,
and he will be n candidate for the re-
publican gubernatorial nomination.
No formal announcement of his can
didacy has yet been made, for Mr..
Smith has preferred that the office
should seem to seek him rather than
that he should be placed I'm the light
of seeking the office. But through
the medium of his friends the Cincin-
natus of Hood River Is now calling
the attention of his fellow citizens to
his own candidacy.
dispatch from Hood River states
that n petition for the nomination of
Mr. Smith was being circulated there
yesterday, and that the petition 'is
said to emanate from citizens who
wish Mr.. Smith to run" Two or three
weeks ago Mr. Smith arranged to an
nounce his candidacy through one of
the republican papers of Portland, but
at the last moment decided that the
announcement would be premature,
and II was accordingly postponed.
Recently political happenings have
made It apparent, however, that fur
ther delay might be dangerous, and
Hood Rivers foremost fruitgrower
may now be classed with the avowed
aspirants for the honor of heading the
republican ticket in the coming cam
paign.
There are now half a dozen of re-
publican candidates in the guberna-
torial race The earlier entries are
Ex-Governor T. T. Geer, of Salem; Dr.
James Withycombe, of Corvallis; c. A..
Johns, of Baker City; Harvey X.
Brown. also of Baker City, and c. A.
Sehlbrede, of Marshfield. Up to the
present time Geer and Withycomhe
have seemed to be leading their COM
petitors, for Sehlbrede's candidacy has
attracted comparatively little auen-
tion save In his own and the adjoining
counties, and Johns and Brown have
been handicapped by the fact that
they come from the same town.
Poth Geer and Wtthycombe have
relied largely on the farmer vote.
Smith is expected to be at least equal
IL strong In the agricultural and fruit
growing districts and it is intimated
that he is to have besides the secret
support of the old republican machine
of Nultnomah county. Malcolm
Moody is also counted upon to exert
his influence in Smiths behalf, for
their relations have been close and
the ex-congressman is said to be one
of the Hood River candidates chief
advisers.
