GALLOWAY LAND AGENT.
Governor Names Successor TO Oswald
West.

Salem, Feb. 2O.-Charlcs r. Gallo
way of McMinnville is state land
agent, or will be as soon as he can
qualify for the appointment made by
Governor Chamberlain to fill the va
cancy caused by the appointment of
Oswald West as one of the railroad
commissioners under the provisions
of the Chaplin bill.
Mr.. Galloway was selected for the
important position of state land
agent by the governor on account OF
his record as young attorney and his
fearless inclination to find the cause
of things. He is one of the best
known young democrats of the state.
and has already risen high in the es-
timation of his associates at the bar.
Mr.. Galloway is about 32 years of
age. He received his education IN
McMinnville college, and at the Uni

LUMBER DEALERS PROTEST.
Meeting of the Northwest Association
Passed Resolutions Against the
Mills for Raising Prices.

The Northwestern Retail Lumber
Dealers association which has just
held meeting in Salt Lake City,
passed strong resolutions against the
milling companies of the coast for
raising the prices of lumber without
any justification.
A. w. Robinson, of the Oregon
lumber yard in this city. has just re-
turned from the Salt Lake meeting,
and says the sentiment was very
strong in the convention that the
mills have acted unjustly to the trade
in advancing lumber prices. The re-.
tail lumber dealers must pay the
prices demanded by the mill trust

AGAINST LAW ENFORCEMENT.
Seattle Saloons Protest Against Action
Of Mayor Moore.

The following dispatch from Seattle
concerning the effort of Mayor Moore
to enforce the Sunday closing laws,
shows the uproar which law enforce
ment causes in supposedly civilized
countries. Mayor Moore upon his
election to the office declared that he
would enforce the laws which the peo-
pie had enacted and has procee ded to
do so. The dispatch says:
There were more arrests on Seattle's
first dry Sunday than for any Sunday
for years. Ballard, Georgetown and
Youngstown, suburbs reached by troll
leys, were thronged by the thirsty.
The saloon keepers held meeting
and drew up resolutions against every
cigar store and restaurant, which they
laid before Mayor Moore and insist
that he prosecute. The saloon men
state that they will compel the en-
| forcement of the law to the limit In
communications to the mayor and
/ chief of police the saloon men declared
in case of their failure so TO do, COM
plant will be made of your refusal to
| so prosecute, and proceedings will be
instituted against you for malfeasance
and forfeiture of your offices will be
demanded"
Mayor Moore will make no state
ment, but Chief Wappenstein inti-
mates that all information concerning
| infringements on the Sunday closing
law will be sent to the prosecuting at
torney The chief points out that the
Sunday closing law is a state staute.
There was loud complaint on the part
of not only the travelling men, but

pared.

AGAINST RESERVE POLICY.
Idaho Bitterly Opposes the Forestry
Department..

The Boise Capital News says:
A number Of able speeches were
made in the house this morning in
opposition to the forest reserve policy
of the government as now conducted
Among the best of these speeches was
that of Representative Fallon of Koo-
tenai county, who spoke as follows:
heartily support my colleague, Mr..
Gleason, on these resolutions and de-
sire briefly to state my reasons for so
doing. The people Of my district are
opposed to forest reserves and I take
1t the majority of the people of this
state are opposed to them and the
sooner the rainbow chasing fadists in
the forestry bureau at Washington
learn 1t the better it will be for the
whole country.
To my mind the policy is wrong at
its very inception, for 1t goes on the
theory that the settler should adapt
himself to the reserve system instead
of the reserve to the settler. In Ger
many it was possible to create forest
reserves in densely populated districts
and secure an adequate supply of tim
Der.
In this country the bureau is not
content to wait, but would create the
reserves in thickly settled districts
and allow developments to adapt
themselves thereto. Now any fair
minded person can see ohw such a
system will retard the development of
this country for a settler would be 10th
to enter territory where the chances
of securing a title are vague.
Emigration would be deflected and
Canada and adjoining states would be
settled at the expense of Idaho. AS
Senator Hepburn has said, at is men
not trees that make states"
In my own county and the adjoining
county of Shoshone rs per cent of
their territory has been thrown into
a reserve, and from the latest reports
from the government 40.S per cent of
the territory of Idaho is now in a re-
serve.

While others of the party were dancing
Captain Charles E. Nash of Augusta,
George A. Quimby and the writer were
seated on the hotel veranda in the dusk
of evening engaged in conversation.
After a time Captain Nash, who was
Mayor of Augusta in 1879, began telling
US the inside history of the count-out,
and an intensely interesting story it
was. As incident after incident was
related one of his hearers memorized
the details and congratulated himself
on securing material for an article of
absorbing interest. But when Captain
Nash concluded he said: "Now this is
to be strictly confidential" and of
course his request was regarded, and
today the story could not be recalled.
This one fact remains in memory: that
for time bloodshed was imminent and
was only averted by the bold front and
good judgment of those upon whom de-
volved the duty of upholding the laws
and the honor of our State.

"THE STATE STEAL"

The New England Magazine for Nov
ember contains an article by Lewis
A. Barker, Esq, of Bangor on what is
known as "the political count-out' in
Maine in 1879. 1t is mainly summary
of the report of the committee of en-
quiry authorized by the legislature of
1880, which was printed in volume of
1913 pages, and recalls rather unpleas-
ant chapter in Names political history.
Although but % years have elapsed
nearly all the prominent actors have
passed away, new generation has
come upon the stage, and probably few
people today are conversant with the
details of this attempt to obtain con-
troll of the State by counting out duly
elected members of the Senate and
House. But neither the Legislative re.
ports nor MI Barker's article tells how
narrow was the escape from bloodshed,
and that part of the story will probably
never be publicly told. Whenever this

LIQUOR TRAFFIC IN ENGLAND.
Conditions Better in This Country.


At recent meeting of the Boston
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
in Pilgrim hall John H. Roberts of
England, who, with his wife, is in
America on pledge-signing crusade,
gave an address on temperance work
and its progress.
MI Roberts took his audience in i'm
agination across the Atlantic to Liver
pool and to liquor saloon near the
landing, where women of all ages, many
with babes in their arms, could be seen
drinking liquor at the open bar. In
Leicester the same can be seen, and the
awful sights can be duplicated in every
saloon.
The greatest menace to womanhood
and childhood is the licensed grocer,
and women who would not be seen en-
tering into saloon will 60 there under
pretence of purchasing groceries and
then get all the strong drink they want.
In Lancashire there is an inebriate
asylum, the inmates of which were 11s
women and only eight men. In London
they have beautiful girls as bartenders
to induce men customers to buy.
The Countess Carlisle is leading thou
sands of brave women in the fight, and
it is hoped that when the great army of
children that are being taught the evils
of drink grow to maturity they will be
powerful factor in the revolution that
will surely follow this crusade.
There are now 100000 children in
the juvenile temperance league, and
many more are being reached.
Mr.. Roberts said that he was glad tc
find that there are no such evils ir
America as there are in England, anG
added that during his stay of sever
weeks in Boston he had not seen 6
| drunken woman.

SOME POTATOES.

| The question was asked the other day
whether Aroostook county offers better
| opportunities for raising potatoes than
other sections of the State, and the re-
mark was made that new soil was good
for potatoes. So it is, but we do not
understand that the bulk of the Aroos-
took crop is raised on new land. Com
mercial fertilizers are largely used, and
in increasing amounts; and it has been
abundantly demonstrated that by en-
ploying the Aroostook methods in plant
ing, cultivation and harvesting, pota-
toes can be grown as successfully in
many other sections of the State. The
Piscataquis Observer reports that A.
A. Bailey of Medford Center raised 60
barrels of sorted potatoes, of the Green
Mountain variety, on 80 square rods of
land There were no rotten ones and
Mr.. Bailey thinks his good luck is large
ly due to consistent spraying with Bor-
deauS mixture, the tops remaining
green until killed by the frost. G.. S.
johnson & Son of Sebec raised $50 bush
els of potatoes Of the White Giant va
riety on 5 1.2 acres of land, and had no
trouble from rust. TWenty-one of these
potatoes presented to the editor Of the
Observer weighed Al pounds. The Som
erset Reporter says that Merton Den
mis- of Athens planted this year seven
acres to potatoes, and the crop from
three acres had averaged 400 bushels to
the acre. If this ratio continues his
seven acres will show total yield of
$500 bushels. There was no rot. Mr..
Dennis has kept an account to deter
mine the profit from his potato farming
and has charged this field of seven acres
with the cost of the seed and fertilizer,
! the insecticides used, and the labor ex-
pended upon it. On a basis of $500
bushels this will show cost of 20 cents
and at the present price, which is about
81 cents net to the shipper, would show
profit of Al cents per bushel or, over
81, 100 on the total crop. The Maine
/ Woodsman says that the success of Mr..
w. E. Littlefeld of Madrid in raising
potatoes indicates that the farms of
Franklin county may be profitably uti-
lized in this way. Mr.. Littleield raised
about 1,600 bushels of fine potatoes on
five acres of land, without much care
or effort in the way of fertilizing, for
which he got on an average 70 cents a
bushel. Mr.. Littlefeld has had expert
ence in Aroostook county and says he
got better results in Franklin county
than in Aroostook. Our correspondents
have reported some large crops in Wal
do county this season. The farm of G..
w. Wescott in Knox is said to have
produced $500 bushels. j. H. Sayward
is the potato king of Thorndike with
5000 bushels. E. Vose of Freedom has
about 1900 bushels and G. E. Bryant
of the same town about 800 bushels.
Our Waldo correspondent reports that
Ross Jones of South Brooks raised ,25O
bushels of potatoes on three acres Of
land. He used phosphate and sprayed
with the Bordeaux mixture.
