MASS MEETING HELD.
In Kings Valley to Discuss Rail-
road Project.


afternoon about so citizens held
mass meeting to discuss plans
in regard to the extension of the
Airlie railroad through that val
i ley and on to a connection with
the c. & E. at Blodgett.
Joseph Hirschberg, president
of the Airlie railroad, was to meet
with the citizens but could not
be present. 1t is through Mr..
Hirschberg's interest in and ag1-
tallon of the subject of extension
that a mass meeting was finally
called, and those who are best in
formed expect results from the
gathering.
Mr.. Hlrschberg will use all his
influence in favor of an extension
ofthe Airlie road through Kings
Valley. Failing in this, it is in
timated that he may start the
ball to rolling, personally, it the
project looks promising.
For the purpose of gathering
data in regard to the amount OF
freight that would be available
from Polk and Benton counties
tor such a road, a committee was
appointed at Tuesdays meeting,
and it is thought the report will
show that much traffic would be
furnished at Kings Valley.
The leaders in the movement
are J. P. L ogan, H. Seifert, A.
c. Miller and c. A., Frantz, all
of whom are prominent citizens
and business men of the valley.
The gap from Airlie to Blcd-
|gett is about "a miles in length
and the building of such rail-
road would open up one of the
richest little valleys in Oregon.
At present it is very difficult
matter to get freight in and out
of the valley, and on account of
the roundabout route of the
mails it takes about three DAYS to
get mail from Portland. There
are now in this valley three tie
mills, besides a large sawmill
owned by c. A. Frantz, at Hos
kins, and FIGURING mill owned
by J. P. Logan at Kings Valley,
and if they should succeed in
getting railroad there would bel
other tie mills and sawmills put
in, as there is lots of fine timber
only waiting for an outlet to be
sawed up and shipped.
1t is stated that the right OF
way will be asked of residents of
the section through which the
road passes and that subscrip-
tions will probably be solicited
later on.
Another meeting is to be neld
IN two weeks, at which time the
committees appointed yesterday
will report, and other definite
steps will be taken toward |
launching the project.

DAIRYlNe IN SOUTH BENTON.
A Few Facts Set Forth on Growth
Of Industry.

Ten years. ago some of the
farmers hereabouts kept a few
mich cows, and made some but.
ter to sell. Beyond these few,
however, the farmers MIXED
just enough cows to supply the
household. Most of the herds
kept were for stock raising.
Since the esta blishment of the
creamery at Corvallis, thus Great
ing a demand COR their produce,
the ifarmers have realized that
there would be good profits in
dairying. Some of the farmers
merely took up their stock COWS
and began milking them, while
others have obtained the better
breeds.
By experiments it has been
found that the Jersey cow is the
most profitable. Though these
COWS may not give quite so large
a quantity of milk in some cases
as other breeds, yet there is a
greater per cent of butter fat in the
mick and this is the farmers
chief aim in dairying.
Some of the dairymen have
notimade much of a change in
the care of the cows from that
OF the stock COW, with the posi-
BILE exception of placing them in
stanchions and giving them some
kind of mill feed. Others, es-
pecially those who are the most
successful, have built new barns,
and within, have them modernly
arranged.
One of the most successful
dairymen has large barn with
box stalls. In these stalls each
cow is allowed ample room to
move about without being cramp.
ed. The chain tie is used so
that the head is free. In front
and above there is slopine
of narrow Stats and di-
rectly beneath this is feed box.
These stalls are Systematically
arranged in two rows across the
barn, with space about twenty
feet wide between them. This
space is occupied by different
kinds of machinery for the pre-
paration of the food. There is a
small horsepower grain chop
per, and the large ensilage cut
ter. At one end of this space is
the large silo.
The cows are feo upon good
vetch hay ens;lage composed
of vetch and corn, and then a
goedly supply of chopped oats.
There is always plenty OF good
fresh water kept in a trough near
the barn; for cows to do their
best must in all events have plen-
ty OF water. A windmill is used
to supply the needed power.
Most of the farmers have good
cool mick houses, where the sep
arator and cream are k~pt. The
cream is gathered from the differ
ent dair:es by cream wagonIseut
from the central creamery. In
summer this wagon gathers twice
4 week; in the winter time, but
once.
The profits from one of these
we'll kept dairy farms is very sat
stactory. In an average year a |
Medium COW of the Jersey breed
will produce about $50 worth of
'utter far. Besides this, the
milk may be fed to the
logs, and goodly profit realized
rom these. Farmers find dairv-
ng one of their most profitable
along with the farm.

Will Improve Lawton

Yesterday Lawton voted a
bond issue as follows: Construo.
ton Of sewers, 500, goo; construc
ton Of waterworks, 100000; ;im-
provement of streets, $4,000.
As the result OF the expendi.
ture Of this money, Lawton claims
she will have:
The best water system in the
world.
a sewage system.
Streets.
This will complete the Job of
making Lawton the greatest city
in the Universe-of its size. So
say the l. lwton papers.
Anadarko has water works
and sewer system already, and is
rapidly putting in granitoid side-
walks. 1t has twenty times as
good a location as Lawton, and a
yearly crop yield in its tributary
country that would make the
Lawton yield look like a plug.
ged dime alongside the U. S.
Treasury gold reserve. The
Anadarko OF today is an up
growth of it's county, while
Lawton is still grating on 10 her
territory and not unlikely to
suffer greatly when the new
pasture towns are started.
One quality Lawton has in
abundance that Anadarko sadly
lacks-the self promoting spirit.
Lawton could not exist without it
while Anadarko can and does
thrive without heralding forth her
glories overmuch. 1t would be
we'll for Anadarko TO study
"frenzied boosting" as a fine art,
but it does seem that we are-to
quote one ofour merchants whom
we approached with the advertise
inf proposition-"never no hand
to brag on nothin' we've got"
We extend our congratulations
to our sister city on the South, and
hope for fortunate sale of the
bonds and a speedy and satisfac-
tory realization of the plans for
which the issue was voted.

Police Court

Russell Miller, a High School
pupil, was arrested yesterday, on
complaint of A. NJ. Thompson,
charging him with maliciously
marring cement sidewalk
Thompson had just put down on
west B street,
The evidence shows that Mr..
Thompson had put up a guard to
prevent people from getting on
the side walk. The guard had
been in place some time, nd the
boy thinking the walk had set,
put his foot over the obstruction
and made a slight indentation
with his heel. The damage was
stated to be inconsiderable. The
police judge took the case under
advisement until Saturday morn
ing, and gave the warning that
any one convicted in this court
of maliciousiy destroying walks
would be fined S100.

Negro Preacher Finds a Crime Which

Shortly afterward a revival meet

hundreds of persons may sit Is on
the top floor Of the building and its
windows may be seen above the slits
in the white walls which mark the
location of the stacks. It has win
lows, too looking toward Fifth ave-
nue., although they are scarcely visi-
Bile from that thoroughfare. Here
there is sufficient light by day to
make reading a delight, for only when
the skies are overcast and the sun
is obscured by fog and cloud will the
use of electricity be necessary.
One of the features of the construc-
ton OF the building is the fact that all
the lighting by day will come from
the direct solar sources. This main
reading room will be one of the show
places of New York city when It is
furnished. Its dimensions except
height are practically the same as
those of the staclroom beneath it.
Next to the principal reading room
the most striking feature Of the in
terror is the catalogue room, whore
the banks of card indices will be kept
for reference by the public. The
drawers will be disposed against the
walls, and the center of the room is
to be occupied by tables to which the
drawers containing the cards may be
taken for reference.
All that which has been described
so far represents only some of the
features which stand for the gigantic
scale on which the library has been
planned. To tell all about it would
fill a book. The two courtyards
which pierce the solid masonry pile
are so feet square, and they are en-
tirely hidden from the view of those
who can only see the library from the
avenue. In one of the courts will be
a fountain, while the other, which is
to be rooted over TO a level of the
first floor, is to be used as a distribut
ing and shipping station.
The basement contains parcel
rooms, an apartment for the eXhibi.
tion of patents, special library of
childrens books, with an adjoining
reading room for the use of juvenile
visitors, a luncheon room, a book
bindery, quarters and lockers for EN-
ployes and an Office of the circulating
division of the library. The furnace
rooms, boiler rooms and the heating
and ventilating plants are in the eel
| lar.
The first floor, besides the special
| library rooms already mentioned, has
a large exhibition room. On the sec
ond floor are special reference IL
braries on such subjects as economics
applied science and rooms where the
cataloguing of books may be con
Quoted The second floor will also
have a music room. On the third
floor, besides the principal reading
room and the card index quarters, are
several art galleries, lighted only by
skylights, which cannot be seen from
the street.

The Troubles
of Ye Editor.

Yesterday we broke away from
our office desk for little incur
sion into the nearby offices and
were rewarded by getting an
outside view of our business.
One of our local attorneys was
commenting upon the editorial
of Mondays issue, Tainted
News and the Thaw Trial" and
informed US that he had been
much interested by it OF course
we were pleased thereat. and
came back to our work feeling
that perhaps we were making an
impression occasionally.
Last night we were informed
by a friend, a lady, that there
was nothing in yesterdays issue /;
but she endeavored to lessen the
effect of her d!sapproval by
graciously saying that this was
the first Issue of which such a
statement could truthfully be
made. We were naturally hum
bled by this view of the Demo-
crat, and came away knowing
that our paper was making i'm
pressions.
Privately, we do not hesitate
to say that it has seemed to us
that there have been a good
many copies of the Democrat
with nothing in them. If we can
realize some of the large posi-
Dilities we see now as hopes
rather than expectations, we will
not have undertaken to resusci-
tate the Democrat in vain.
We are constantly trying to
improve the Democrat and such
changes as we make in it from
time to time will be with a view
Of Improvement.
