Premier Asquith Reported to
Have Played on Sunday.
Quick Contradiction Causes Some Of
the English Publishers to Be
Suspicious-king Edward Has
a Similar Experience.

London.-Premier Asauith's recent
motion in both Westminster and Fleet
golting experiences caused a big com
street. Through a mistake in tele-
graphing the premier was understood
to have played his record three hours
round at milestone links on Sunday
afternoon.
Now the question of Sunday playing
is still a burning n and. although in
many clubs it is permitted if the play
ers act as their own caddies, there is
a tremendous section of the population
which regards the Sunday golfer as
n disregarding the Sabbath.
Great was the excitement through
out England Monday when the reports
OF the premier's Sunday solfng were
read, and the nonconiormlst consci.
ence. which has been a bane to many
Liberal premiers, was touched to the
quick.
The Liberal electoral organizers at
Westminster at once realized that if
Sunday golfing by their leader was to
be added to their other responsible
ties the results in the general election
We're a foregone conclusion.
Mr.. Asquith was telegrapted to and
promptly replied the report was erro-
neOus, and thereupon the news agen
cles and newspapers were asked in hot
haste to kill the story on the wing.
The form in which the contradiction
was sent out was unfortunate, as it
suggested that the whole story of AS
Quith's play was incorrect. Those re.
sponslble for its publication stuck to
their guns. and excitement ran high
until it was ascertained that what Mr..
AsQuith wished to deny was that he
had played golf on Sunday.
1t was Saturday afternoon that he
had a game.

The dinner was served for four, and
afterwards the party sat down to

Now. King Edward likes his loyal
subjects to know what he is doing,
and instructions were given that a

the press relative to his majesty's visit

FATTENED ON ALFALFA AND CORN

In Nebraska many farmers fatten
their hogs entirely on alfalfa although
corn is the staple crop of that state.
Fed with corn. alfalfa produces larger
gains than any other feed. Alfalfa and
corn should be fed in equal portions,
and this ration beats corn alone. AL

Mr. Walter is confident that at

Especial Correspondence.)


Portland, Ore, April 5.-Meetings
under the auspices of the local or
ganizations of the Oregon Develop
ment league are being held at Rose
burg, Monday, April 5th, at Central
Point Tuesday, Oakland Wednesday,
Cottage Grove Thursday, Eugene
Friday. and Oregon City Saturday.
The Central Point gathering will have
delegates present representing the
entire Rogue river valley.
AS direct result of the advertis-
ing campaign carried on by the Port
land Commercial club, of which
feature has been the statement that
people can buy their tickets to any
point in Oregon Just as cheaply as to
Portland, and the fact that the money
is spent in telling Of the resources
of the state rather than the attrac-
tions of the city, very few cores
pondents ask about Portland now~a-
days
Inquiries About Fruit Lands.
In fact over fifty per cent of all
the specific inquiries are about fruit
lands. This is true because not only
are agriculturists and horticulturists
interested. but men in the profession
al walks of life who want to get out
into the open air find fruit growing
especially congenial. Many Of this
class have been among our most sue
cessful growers in various parts OF
Oregon.
The inquiries about dairying are
not numerous, but they come from
those actually engaged in tho work
| in other states, and undoubtedly a
larger percentage of the dairy letters
mean settlers than those on other
subjects.
The magnificent work of the citl-
zenship of Oregon. the cooperation
of the churches and the schools with
the commercial bodies, has influenc-
ed nine-tenths of the people who are
coming to this state on colonist rates
so that they go direct to their place OF
final settlement, and the congestion
felt so keenly at Portland during
record breaking 1907 is almost en-
tirely done away with. AS the crown
ing test of organization, Portland has
had such loyal assistance from her
business houses and citizens that 50O,-
600 leaflets have gone out in their
letters in a single month.
