SUICIDE MAY LOSE HIS
POLICY OF INSURANCE

Butte. Mont.-That he was worth
more dead than alive is believed to
be the sorry philosophy which drove
w. NJ. True to kill himself in the
Butte hotel. He was insured for
$1,000 in the'New York Life and the
policies were made payable to his
aged father.
An odd question has arisen as to
the collection of the insurance. He
took out policy six weeks ago and
a $1,000 policy a year ago. The sec
ond payment on the larger policy
would have been delinquent at u
o'clock on the day True killed him
self, and it appears that the mans
intention was to kill himself before
the policy became invalidateu.
True's calculations miscarried, for
though he shot himself at about 10
in the forenoon, death did not come
until nearly in the afternoon, three
hours after the expiration of the pol

York Life here.

WINTER COURSE IN AGRICULTURE
GIVEN At AGR|CULT TURAL COLLEGE

(Oregon Agricultural College Bulletin)
Winter courses in agriculture have
become an important factor in the
agricultural development of the ma
ton. The attendance at these courses
at the various agricultural colleges of
the country probably exceeds in num-
Der those students taking regular
courses Of instruction, and they are
undoubtedly doing more for the i'm
mediate development of agriculture
than the regular long courses.
The farmers taking these courses
have reached mature years; they own
their own farms most of them, and
they are able to put into practice at
once any new idea that they may get
at the college.
Methods Are Changing.
Agricultural methods and practices
are rapidly changing as a result Of
the great amount of hard, earnest
work that is being done at the expert
ment stations of the country. A lit
tie discovery is sometimes worth mil
lions of dollars, and the prosperous
farmer is the first to put in practice
new and better methods.
Alfalfa has added millions of dollars
to the agricultural wealth Of the coun-
try in the past few years, and this has
been brought about largely by agri-
cultural college men who investigated
and proclaimed its possibilities.
A discovery Of an agricultural COL
lege man made it possible to discover
the robber COW and TO put dairying on
a profitable basis
improvement in seeds by selection
Of breeding has added immensely to
the value Of the field crops of the
United States. A day at the winter
course viii show how it is done.
Today We would be without fruits
in this country but for the discoveries
that have been made as a result Of
long and expensive work at the agri-
cultural colleges and experiment sta
tions. Instead Of being helpless
against the ravages Of insect pests the
farmer is master Of the situation, and
we continue to eat fruit.

DREW INQUEST BEGINS.
Story of Finding Girls Body Re-
told at TrOu.

Trov y Julv 27-The inquest into the death
of Hazel Drew who found dead in Teafs Pond
July H. began this afternoon at AverilI Park Hor-
ace Crober. George White and Gilbert Miller, the
cen,ners who discovered the girls body, were the
first witnesses called. They told the circumstances
of finding the body and its removal from the MIL
pond. Frank Smith, the farm boy who is said to be
the last person who saw Miss Drew alive on the
night she went to her death. next related the IN
cidents of their meeting on the lonely mountain
road
Rudolph Gunderman the charcoal burner with
whom Frank Smith rode to the village on the night
of July l. ccrroborated Smiths story of injecting
the young woman on that evening on the Taborton
Road near Tears Pond Gunderman did not know
Miss Drew. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Rollman. who
drove to Averill Park the night also testi-
fed to having met a young woman Slowly walking
along the highway. She picking berries from
the bushes that line the road and eating them
Neither of the Rollmans knew Miss Drew, but their
description of the young woman that they saw
talIies with that given by Frank Smith and SAID
by him to have been Hazel Drew
Mr. and Mrs William Reimiller. who live on a
farm beyond Teals Pond, had driven along the
Taborton Road the same evening. but they had
not met the young woman.
William Hufey's testimony before the coroner
was considered by the authorities as the most sig
nifcant given the inquest. He described in de-
tail Having seen a strange waiting in a wagon
near Teals Pond the night of July I. while an
other man was walking along the bank OF the pond
peering into the water Huffey said he drove on
without giving further thought to the men The
authorities are anxious to know who these
strangers were. as it is believed that they may
prove a factor in unravelling the mystery sur
rounding Hazel Drew's death.
William Taylor. the uncle of Hazel Drew, again
told his story. in which he stoutly denied any
knowledge of his nieces presence in or near Aver
i'll Park on the evening when she IS thought 10
have been killed. He says he sat silently smok-
ing in a rocking chair at home all the evening
alone Frank Richmond and his wife. who live
with the aged man. had gone on an errand to the
village Later, before the two returned. so Iay-
lor asserted he retired But when Mr. and Mrs
Richmond came back the farmhouse from the
village where they had seen Frank Smith, VINO
told them of meeting Hazel Drew. they neither
saw nor heard Taylor, although his bedroom door
was Open as he always left it. Taylor could not
be shaken in his story.
The testimony of the physicians who performed
the autopsy on Hazel Drews body was that the
girl was killed by the blow on the head, and not
by drowning The unanimous opinion or the
phvsicfans was that Hazel Drew did not commit
suicide Her appearance also indicated that she
had been choked.
The inquest will be resumed Thursday at the
courthouse here.

Sir Edzoard Greys sympathetic
PoIicu To7uord Reforms.

London. July 27.-The Macedonian question
was raised in the House of Commons tonight
Sir Edward Grey, Secretary for Foreign At
fairs. said that the situation had changed sud-
denly and greatly in the last few days. 1t was
better ne said, that the Macedonian question
should thus be settled by the Turks themselves
than that partial reforms should be pressed upon
reluctant and obstructive authorities.
We ought for the present. added the Secre
tary, ito preserve an eXpectant and sympathetic
attitude toward these changes"
He deprecated the idea of Intervention in
Persia unless the Persian subjects became
threatening
Sir Edward took occasion TO repudiate in
warm terms the idea that Great BSitain's policy
was aimed at the isolation OF Germany, that
she had any reluctance TO be good terms
with Germany. He said that while Great Brit
ain must be free to make agreements like those
with Russia and France IN order to remove the
causes of friction, such policy implied ernnity
toward any other powers
The Foreign Secretary's reference 10 Ger

speech by Sir Charles Dixie. was rather unex-
pected, and was much discussed afterward in
the lobbies, where It was regarded by many of
the members as intended to ccunteract the bad
impression likely to be produced in Germany by
Lord Croner's speech in the House last Mon
day, when he said that it was the first duty of

M. de Reus's Action.

Caracas July 25 (via Port of Spain, July 20
The German Minister has taken charge of the
Dutch interests here. following the dismissal by
President Castro CT NJ de Reus from Venezuela
The Minister Of the Netherlands said that he had
received dispatch from The Hague approving his
note and instructing him to insist interview
with President Castro. This impossible.
dnlor1atic relations between the two countries had
been severed
The general opinion of diplomats here condemns
the Dutch Minister for publishing the statement
that castro had ruined Venezuela. and the belief is
expressed that the Netherlands government will
not support NJ de- Reus. The minister's expulsion
without having time communicate with his gov
ernment has a precedent in the expulsion OF the
French and Belgian ministers in 1894.
