Seattle, Washington, Nov. 5.-Ac-

been started. This project which
has been agitated for many years,

Dor something novel for an import

The Railway Commissions in the

good railroad, particularly the main
line; track is we'll ballasted, good

IMPORTANT TO FARMERS.

"The Business Side of Farming"
"a the title of recent publica-
t,on from the Oregon Agricultural
College Press. The bulletin is Part l

voted to Farm Records. 1t is writ
ten in a clear, simple style, and will
he easily comprehended by any farm
or II is handsomely illustrated by
twenty full page engravings. Future
bulletins on Rural Law and Rural
Economy are promised. Like all the
college and station bulletins, it is
published for free distribution.
1t is gratifying to note that the
state college is taking the lead in
this important subject. No phase of
agricultural education is more import
ant or more generally neglected.
The short coming of the American
farmer in this respect has been re-
yealed repeatedly. President Roose-
welt and the rural commission have
remarked, on more than one occasion
rural education. The lack of cor
that this is one of the defects in
rect business methods has not only
ruined countless farmers, but it often
drives the boys off the farm. The
present census Is emphasizing sta
tistics on farm finance more than
usually, but it is feared that little
reliable information will be given.
Professor Bexell, the author of the
bulletin, says in his introduction:
1T is a truism to say that the finan'
cial side of farming is of the ut
most Importance. But the fact re.
mains that this side of the worlds
greatest industry is almost entirely
neglected by both the farmers and
the schools. Professor Bailey says
on this subject: In visiting prac
tlcally every farm in one of the coun
ties of New York, we did not find
one man who knew how much it cost
him to produce milk or to raise any
Of his crops

Hyatt's lumber yard. A 6-year-old
Bircher boy who had started with
the boys early in the evening was
left asleep in the barn while the
plundering was going on. The boys
were out all night.
The fact that the boys went to
Burnaugh & Mayfield's drug store
Wednesday evening and bought $3.50

Body Of Heb(ediah Lincoln,
Civil War Veteran,
Found at Home Of Fred Pea
body, Windsor Road, Chelsea.
Autopsy Shows Alcoholism Cause
Of Death...LIquor Raids Follow.

Deputy Sheriff Frank j. Ham and
Coroner Henry w. Plummer arrived
home at 8 o'clock Tuesday morning
from an exciting trip to the Togus dis
trict on which they had been absent
since Monday noon. They originally
started out on a coroners call to in
vestigate the death of one Heoediah
Lincoln, National Home veteran, VINO
was found dead fully clothed In the
chamber Of house occupied by Fred
Peabody on the Windsor road, 2hs miles
from the National Home. The omcers
ascertained that the man died OF alco-
holism and having determined that
fact devoted Monday night to search
for contraband. They visited five places
and in two of these found liquor.
1t was learned on inquiry that Linz
coin, who was IA years old. was out on
leave of absence from the Natlcnal
Home and had been for some time
stopping at the home of Fred Peabody.
There did not seem to be any evidence
of foul play, but to make the matter
certain Coroner Plummer decided TO
have an autopsy held, which was per-
formed by Medical Examiner w. q.
Harris of Augusta, assisted by DE.
Stinson of the National Home 'The
result Of the autopsy was the finding
that death was due to alcoholism. Cor
oner Plummer then turned the pody
over to the National Home authorities
for burial. 9fi.ysi.
Deputy Sheriff Ham made search
ing inquiry of. those at the, PEABODY
house where Lincoln. got his liquor as
his death was thought to be the result
of spree rather than from any con-
ditions of chronic alcoholism. Mr..
Peabody is alleged to have stated that
Lincoln obtained his liquor at a place
a mile or two distant on the Gardner
road. The officers accordingly visited
this place and the woman in charge OF
the house said that she did not know
Lincoln. The officers then returned to
the Peabody place and made very
thorough search of the house. One
hottie of liquor was found in a union
suit and another in a tool chest in the
shed. Deputy Sheriff Ham was sue
cessful in finding liquor in one other
place, the house occupied by Gideon
Pond on the Chelsea road. Here the
officers took four pint bottles contain
ing whiskey, pint of rum and a guam
tity of empties. ......
Both Peabody and Pond were or
deretl to appear in the Augusta muni-
cipal court Tuesday afternoon at 2
O'clock on the charge of illegal keep
ing of liquor. Pond failed to show up
at the appointed time but Peabody was
on hand accompanied by his wife and
several. small children. He was badly
intoxicated, however, and Deputy
Sheriff Ham and Recorder Lancaster
decided that it vas best to. commit
the man to Jail until he had time to
sober up and set the trial forward to
8 o'clock this morning. Peabody's wife
and children were sent back to Chelsea.
Pond was placed under arrest at 5
o'clock by Deputy Sheriff Ham as he
was stepping from Kennebec Gen.
trail train at the National Home reser-
walton. He was brought to this city
and taken to the county Jail. He will
be tried this morning at the same time
with Peabody.
