Mr.. JOHNSON
Independent Voter From Taylor
County Writes The Sun
a Letter.

Campbellsville, KY, Sept g. 1906
Rogers Gore, Esq, Editor Springfield
Sun, Sir:-I had the pleasure of hear
ing Hon. Ben Johnson, Democratic
nominee for Congress in this district
deliver a spsech at Campbellsville last
Monday. Please allow me, through
the columns of your widely read paper,
to say that I was not only well pleased
with the speech but also with the
speaker. met Mr.. Johnson short
time before the speaking began, and
/ want to say that have met few men
who so fsvorsbly impressed me. DE ls
a fluent speaker; be handles a subject
with skill and drives fact in a most
convincing and pleasing manner.
NV letter would be too lengthy should
1 refer to even few of the excellent
arguments and new ideas he advanced
in his speech, consequently my purpose
In writing you is to briefly express
IAN opinion of the man.
1 believe Mr.. johnson will make a
great Congressman. He has the quah
ficatlop he is possessed of an execu'
tive mind. have convinced myself,
first, of his fitness; second, OF MS
honesty. and third, of his determine
ton to advocate those, measures, and
advance those ideas, which, when
they become laws, will mean the
greatest good to the greatest number
I have been an independent voter for
a number of years At first l was
called "bolter, but later they called
me a "mugwump." Hence, ycu see
that my determination to support Mr..
Johnson is not due to the fact that l
am a Democrat, " but to the fact
that | honestly believe that such a man
will be worth much TO all the people
of the district. Although he is a loyal
Democrat believe he will be as ready
and willing to look after the interests
of his Republican constituents as ne
will be to look after the interests OF
his Democratic constituents He is
too big = man to do otherwise Ine
National Congress needs just such
men as Mr.. Johnson-it needs honest
men; men who can not be reached by
graft, nor whipped by party leaders
men who will stand for those things,
which wolld mean the betterment
of the farmer, Of the toiling masses,
indeed, the betterment of the classes
if they will be judged by a sense OF
Right and Justice,
II knew Mr.. Johnson better, Inave
no doubt that | could say more in his
favor. However, upon short acquain-
tancs, l have said these things about
him, and l am willing to stake my
pumpkin crop" that | am right.
l shall support HIM Loyalty.
Very truly,
Independent.

FIFTH STATE
DEVELOPMENT
CONVENTION.

The time for holding the Fifth State
Development Convention Is growing
near, and prospects are that it will be
a great meeting. Arrangements at
Winchester for the occasion are near
ing completion. The program, however,
is being held up 60 await the filling
OF one or two places, and will not be
made public until completed though
an excellent one is assured.
Tne Winchester Commercial Club is
going to do all it can to make the Con-
vention a pleasant as we'll as prof.
table occasion. The excursion to
Beattyville, there to examine the coal
mines, gas wells and lumber plants,
and TO be entertained with a barbecue
given by the citizens of that ente:-
prislng mountain town, will be a
delightful trip especially for the dele
gates from the central western part OF
the State.
The railroads have fixed rate of one
fare plus 25 cents for the round trip
for all points in Kentucky to Winchetsr
on account of the convention. This is
a liberal concession on their part, and
is actuated by the interest which the
railroads themselves have In the work
of the Development movement, rs they
realize that a greater development OF
the researches of the States means a
corresponding increase in their traffic.
Delegates to the.Convention.is this
year are not confined to those ap-
ported by the county judges, mayors
and commercial clubs, but any one
wishing to attend may be appointed a
delegate by addressing the Secretary,
MI. 2. j. Altizer, at Winchester, who
will have the appointment mace and
ticket, program, etc , sent in regular
course.
The business men of Kentucky owe
it to themselves and TO the State to
take an active interest in the
promotion of the objects of the De-
Velupment Association, both locally
aud by attending the Conventions.
We should all work together for the
material growth and progress of the
State in the exploitation of our re-
source and the improvement of our in
dustrial and commercial conditions.
This Is the object of the Development
Association, which is headed by men
who are devoting their time, money
and energy to the movement, without
cent of direct compensation, chow
ing that in helping all the people they
are also helping themselves.
This County is as good as the best,
and our citizens are just as active,
progressive and patriotic. Let us
show this by sending large delegation
to the Convention this fall.

THE STATE Fair.

The State Fair in Louisville
last week was a success, far be-
yond the expectations of even its
promoters. With rain four days
out of the six, coupled with the
fact that the time in which to
make arrangements and complete
the details for such a big under
taking was insufficient, the results
attained would have, at the open
inc. seemed impossible.
1t is estimated that over 100, 900
people visited the fair, despite the
contrariness of the elements, and
the net profits realized reached
over $4,000. A significant fact
connected with the large attend
ance is that a large portion of the
visitors were from out in the State.
Louisville's success is Kentucky's
success. and should be her pride.
That the metropolis and the State
at large are forming closer ties
and are working side by side for
for better and greater Kentucky
was never more fully eXemplilied
than at last weeks fair.
The agricultural exhibit was al
most beyond human conception,
and the other displays were an
equal credit to the exhibitors and
management. Only praise for
everything connected with the
fair was to be heard.
Kentucky is to have another
State Fair in the metropolis next
year. 1t will be bigger, bettel
and grander than this years, for
Kentuckians have become ac-
quainted with the advantages that
are to be derived from such an
enterprise and will exert their en-
ergies to show the superiority of
the States products and the rich
ness of Kentucky's soil.

1900 For n Rooster.

Many Of the poultry raisers of the
Northwest think $40 and 800 an enorm-
ous price to pay for good breeding
bird, and we have had farmers tell us
that they never saw bird that they
would pay over $3.50 for. This is be.
cause they have not made the money
from good stock that the older breed
ers have. Our best breeders look at
the matter in a different light, and
there we're birds In the last Oregon
State Show that could not be pur-
chased for 800, but the best price Of
the season has just been realized by
an Eastern breeder. According to the
Island Poultry Journal, William Mil
lei, proprietor Of the Fairlawn Poul-
try Yards, of Crescent, NO., attended
the recent Ind annapolis show with the
intention Of buying the best birds that
he could find there, and knowing that
the best come high, he prepared, both
In spirit and in purse, to pay the
price that quality commands. Mr..
Miller's fancy runs in the direction
of White Plymouth Rocks, and it was
not long before he brought up before
the coops of U. r. Fishel, Of White
Rock fame. Mr.. Fisbel's fret prize
White Rock cock was Mr.. Miller's first
favorite, but Mr.. Fishel stoutly re-
fused to sell him. Mr.. Miller, not
dismayed, began negotiations for the
second prize cock, with the result that
the bird changed hands early in the
week for the sum of $500.
Later in the week Mr.. Miller pur-
chased from Mr.. Fishel six more birds
for which he paid $3.50. Ii is needless
to say that these fowls are among the
best in the world. The cock for which
the $500 was paid was scored at 96K
points by both Judges Hewes and
Pierce. Pacific Farmer.

necessary. Being honest, capable business men,
they have the means and ability to rwn business

credit to our city.

Icing Charges ExorhItant.

The agents of the Armour car lines
are working hard to justify the action
of their company in it's exorbitant
charges. The plea is made that 1t Is
not practical for railway to own
refrigerator cars for the reason that
these cars may have to be sent over
various railroads and into markets be.
yond the reach of any one railroad
company.
The trouble seems TO be that the
railroad entering the large fruit belts
do not own enough refrigerator cara.
The fruit business has been growing
so fast that present requirements have
not been fully anticipated. In year
or two there will be more refrigerators
and perhaps any company may spare
cars to go over another line. 1t does
not make any difference to growers
who owns the cars so long as icing
charges are not exorbitant, but it re.
mains fact that during the past sea.
son fruit growers who we're able to
reach good markets over railroad
which was in possession of refrigerat-
or ears had much lower icing bills
than those who shipped to the same or
even a less distance, by the private re-
frigerator car lines.
Make icing charges reasonable and
growers care little as to who are the
owners, II these trusts continua to
tax fruit growers eXorbitantly on ice
the government can work the same
game and If the abuse continues tax

Advocates Hood River Plan.

In well written article, published
in the Forest Grove Times, ii. O. At.
well, president of the local horticul.
tural society there, urges growers moi
to plant orchards indiscriminately.
He advocates planting trees that will
give big production of standard va.
rieties, SO that growers there will be
able to enter into competition with
other districts. Mr. Atwell, in speak.
ing of the apple growing business as
conducted here says:
"Ihe success of Hood River Yapple
growers is not due to the large size of
individual holdings; but rather to the
larger number of small growers, who
believe in the old saying, Sin union
there is strength. > The bearing Or
chards of the Hood River valley aver.
age less than ten acres apiece in area.
If ten of us plant ten acres apiece,
and cooperate as they do at Hood
River, we can save enough in the pur.
chas of implements, spraying and
boxing materials to represent snug
profit. For instance, Swift's arsenate
of lead, which will be generally used
this summr against the Goblin month,
is sold everywhere at fixed price
and yet the Hood River Apple Grow
ers' Union has recently contracted for
q of car load at % per cent below
that price, as | am informed by the
manager of the union.

HAS JACOB CLATERBOS
met WITH FOUL PLAY

Last May, Jacob Claterbos, of Trout
Lake, leased his ranch and started on
a trip to his native land, Holland.
Word of his safe arrival was received
by relatives and friends at Trout Lake
and the Goldendale Sentinel says that
after visit lasting until about the
10th of October, he took the return
voyage for his adopted country, hav-
ing arranged that the little boys
should stay with their grand parents
until this spring, when they would
follow, the father to meet them In
New York City and then return to
Trout Lake, so that all the children
could be close together; so two re-
majned, one little girl being adopted
by its grand parents at White Salmon,
and the other, boy, was left in
charge of family in Portland. Jake
arrived in New York on his return
about the first Of November, having
written to several of his friends here
of his safe arrival and his intention
of starting for this coast in two or
three days.
Some time in November or the first
part of December word was received
from him indirectly from Chicago, IL
appearing that he had applied to
telephone company for a position
which company, it Is evident, asked
for recommendation as the company
wrote to Wm. Coate regarding Jacob
Claterbos. Several letters to thes ad-
dress given have all been returned,
unopened. to the senders. 1t seems
all trace of him has been completely
lost. Jacob Claterbos is a Mason In
good standing, at present at least.
His Masonic brethren would be pleas
ed to hear Of any tldings from him.
His old gray haired mother Is pros
trated with grief due to the affection
of mother for lost son. His
children are weeping for lost father.
What can be more patheticY
Nothing directly has been heard
from him since leaving New York as
far as is known. recent letter from
sister stated she had written the Hol-
land Counselor at Chicago. His
friends here are making diligent in
quiry and are putting forth every
effort to find him or his whereabouts
and perehanoe should this meet with
one who knows anything about him,
communicate with Trout Lake Lodge
