MORE DEMONSTRATION TRAINS

w. S. Thornbcr, professor Of
Horticulture, from the State College
was in town Monday for the pur-
pose of examining our trees and
noting how well they.are recovering
from the frost of last winter. He
went out to the Meyer ranch form
erly owned by Mr.. Bartlett and
took some photographs. >. The pro-
lessor left in the afternoon over the
North bank for Washougal, and
from there he will go to Western
Washington to join the better farm
ing train which will make trips
there this summer. Mr.. Thornber
gave out the following in regard to
plan and work of the train.
Better farming, better orcharding
how to improve the dairy farm, and
increase the excellence of dairy pro-
ducts, the tillage of soils and i'm
provement of farm life in general
will be the subjects Of lectures Civ
en- by the state college experiment
station staff in Western Washing
ton from June II to July 2. On
these dates the staff in cooperation
with the officials of the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern Railway
companies will conduct two big
farm demonstration trains along
the lines of those two companies in
the western part of the state.
This is the third season that the
State College has undertaken to con-
duct such trains for the betterment
of the agricultural education of the
state. Travelling colleges" they
are sometimes called, getting the
name from the fact that labratory
| and demonstrational equipment of
the college is simply loaded on the
train, and, accompanied by a part
of the staff, is hauled out to the
| farmers for instructional purposes.
Those who will accompany the
train are Prof. R. w. Thatcher,
Prof. w. S. Thornber, |. P. Whit
ney, 0. H. Olson, w. H. Lawrence
H. l.. Blanchard, H. w. Sparks,
and several press and railway re-
presentatives.

sociated.
Her married life was never blest
with children, but she adopted one
young girl, Myrtle, whom she made
a member of her family and raised
to womanhood and who is now liv-

STREET CAR LINE
FRANCHISE ASKED
LOCAL MEN SPRING SURPRISE AT
SPECIAL COUNCIL SESSION

The council met in special. session
Tuesday to pass ordinances and con-
slider an application for franchise.
The application was in form of an
ordinance drafted by the petition
ers, w. r. Anon, s. G. Emmons,
G. F. Richardson and G.. A. Lundy
and allows them the II ght to oper-
ate an electric railway on certain
streets of the town. The route is
designated as beginning at the corn
er of the L. G.. Moore tract of land,
north east corner of Section 1, run
ming south along Washington street
to the center line of the Canal, also
commencing where the Railroad
street intersects Washington on the
north of the Cascade yard and run
ming west over said Railroad street
to Seventh street, on the line with
the Old School Building, thence
south to Third street and cast on
Third to Washington. They ask a
fifty year term for the franchise and
offer bond for $1,000 as security
against damage to the city during
the period Of construction. The
franchise is subject to cancellation
at the option of the city if the
grantees fail to construct and have
in opc.:.t;On one mile of railway in
or within one mile of town within
two years Of the date Of granting of
the franchise. The petitioners bind
themselves to plank all crossings
and walks within the rails and in
event of streets on which they run
being paved they will pave between
the rails and Is inches on each side
with the same kind of paving, work
to be subject to the approval Of the
city engineer. Standard Trolley
system is to be used, fare will be 5
cents. The cars of connecting lines
are to be permitted to run over the
street lines of the petitioners, and it
is asked that locomotives be per-
mitted to move freight cars where
ever the grantees deem it advis-
able. The franchise was given con-
siderable discussion but no definite
action was taken hy the council.
The petitioners before the council
seemed somewhat adverse to giving
out information as to who drafted
the ordinance, what their plans
were, and to convincing the public
that it was a bona fde proposition.
The question raised will be
given much discussion in the next
few weeks. The public and their
representatives, the councilmen
should insist on the fullest details
and complete open and above board
policy in regard to granting trac-
ton franchise.

LIFE STORY OF A PIONEER

G. H. Mottinger returned last
week from Hawkeye, Iowa where he
went with the remains of his be-
loved wife and where the funeral
was held and interment made be-
side the members of her family in
the Cemetery. He also paid his
old home place at Naper7ille, Tn.
a visit but found things completely
changed in the more than quarter
of century be has been away. He
would rather live on his own place
on the old Columbia river than in
any spot be visited and he and his
daughter will open the home and
continue their happy life as before.
Mr.. Mottinger gave us the follow
ing sketch of Mrs. Mottinger's life
and we are glad to publish it both
on account of the noble character it
reveals and on account of the inter-
est it will have to the longtime resi-
dents here who knew her so well. =.
Martha P. Bopp was born at the
family homestead in Windsor town
ship, September 20, 1850. and was
the fifth child of Michael and Mar
garetha Bopp, for more than a half
acentury one of the pioneer families
in the vicinity. From her early
years she manifested studious and
Intellectual habits, which were
Characteristic of her through her
school life in the home neighbor-
hood and later at Ainsworth's Acad-
emy in the West Union, where she
spent considerable time.
She taught school for several
years prior to the summer of 1884,
when she was united in marriage,
August 18th, to George H. Mottin-
ger, OF Banks township in this
County. Shortly thereafter Mr..
and Mrs. Mottinger moved to Storm
Lake, Iowa, where they lived part
OF one year and then moved to Dell
Kaplds, South Dakota, where they
they lived for several years more.

Safety at Sea,

American Review of Reviews.
Some comment was excited in the
case of the Republic on account of the
fact that the boat equipment was not
large enough to carry all persons on
board. 1t Is doubtful whether this Is
the case in any ship carrying a large
number of passengers.
The largest lifeboats have capa-
city of from 40 to so people, and IL the
total complement be taken at 2,400 1t
win be seen that from so TO so of such
boats will be required. The question
arises how such an outfit of ordinary
boats could be provided. -
The folding boat in its latest forms
seems to meet this demand to some ex-
tent. but still leaves much to be de-
sired, and life RATS are difficult to
handle. The ordinary lifeboat OF to-
day is practically the same az for q
