HILL ROAD TO CALIFORNIA.
Invasion of Hartman Territory Said
to be Planned.


With what the Oregonian says
comes to it with fair degree of au-
thenticity and from a man possessing
minor railroad interests in Oregon, as
a ground work, that paper prints an
article in which the forecast is made
that James j. Hill is about to embark
in extensive railroad construction in
Oregon and perhaps also into Cali
fornia.
The alleged scheme embraces the
purchase of the Oregon Trunk, paral-
lei line to the Deschutes road, now
under construction by the Hartman
system into central Oregon, and of the
Pacific s. Eastern railroad, a short
road running from Medford, Ore, into
the Cascade mountains. This latter
road indirectly is an asset of the
defunct Oregon Trust and Savings
bank Of this city and from source
closely connected with the bank it is
learned, the paper states, that negotia-
lions are pending for its sale.
1t is also stated by the Oregonian
that Porter Brothers, owners of the
Oregon Trunk survey, were in close
touch with John F. Stevens, formerly
chief engineer of the Panama canal,
said now to be in the employ of the
Hill interests and who has been in
Oregon for some time under an alleged
assumed name.
DR.. J. F. Reddy of Medford, who has
reorganized the Pacific & Eastern, is
quoted by the Oregonian as admitting
that he spent several days in going
over his company's lines with Mr..
Stevens.

gest blocks Of timber made in the state

$4,000 feet daily, as limited time is
given for it's removal. The laws pro-
vide that Is per cent of the amount
received from the sale of the timber
is placed in the school fund of the
county in which the timber is sold.

Value of N Small Stream

of a small stream for light and power
purposes may be found near Sacra,
mento, Cal. A trout stream has been
damned up and the power In the form
of electricity has been used for doing
such light work as washing and iron
the home Of the owner. AS the stream
is very small during the dry months,
an old miners ditch has been damned
to form a reservoir of 100000 cubic
feet capacity. The plant cost $1,000
and In a single year has done $70G
worth of work.

Alfalfa Planting.

1t should not be forgotten that the
spring is the proper time to prepare
the alfalfa crop that is to be planted
next fall. The ground which is ex-
pected to be used for this crop should
not be planted to small grain; neither
should corn precede alfalfa, because
the ground will not be kept free Of
weeds and grass. The best prepare
tory crop for alfalfa is COW peas; then
after the vines are removed or plowed
under the ground should be well
broken and kept clean of weeds and
grass by surface cultivation until 1t
is seeded in alfalfa the following fall.
Peanuts may be grown instead of COW
peas, IL the crop is considered more
desirable, as 1t Is perhaps, but they
must be kept well cultivated and es-
pecially allow no earth grass to grow
in the crop.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Raising Pigs.

The cheapest way to put gains on
young pigs is through the sow. She
has a strong digestion and can turn
coarse grains and pasture into easily
digested milk. Careful experiments
show that a pound of weight taken
from the sow will make more than 1
pound of gain on the pigs, the flesh
of the young animals containing more
water. The SOW should be fed to pro-
duce a high milk yield, and the pigs
should be kept with her until they get
to eating a full feed of grain and pas
ture.

News of Scandinavia
Principal Happenings Of the Week
in the Scandinavian Countries.

A dispatch from Copenhagen states
that Sweden wants to change the
boundary line between Norway and
Sweden at farmland, but that Norway
is opposed to the change.
The court OF arbitration appointed
to fix the boundary line between Swe-
den and Norway at Grisebaerne, some
disputed fishing grounds, held series
Of meetings at Stromstad, Sweden. At
the close of the meetings the members
of tie board embarked on the gun
boat Svensksund, which sailed along
the route which the Swedes think
ought to be the line. The members
next landed at Roster, which affords
a splendid bird 's-eye view of the wa
tiers in dispute. The court held an
official session at the Vette Townhall,
and this closed the work on the Swe.
dish side. The following week was
spent on the Norwegian side of the
line, and the Norwegian authorities
accommodated the court as best they
could. In the latter part of August
the court will resume its regular nego-
tiations at the Hague.

VermiIlion Ore Strike.

Duluth.-The Vermillion Steel &
Iron Company, Duluth, of which T. J..
Walsh of this city is president, has
met with unusual success in exploring
for iron ore on the Vermillion range,
where mines are few but very valu-
able. The ore has been shown up
with diamond drills and they have
proven a body of Bessemer grade of
several million tons extent. A shaft
will be sunk Immediately. Two drills
are bottomed in the mineral after
showing 800 feet Of ore each, and a
third drill entered the ore after pass
ing through 80 feet of surface. The
depth of the ore is unknown, and
heavier drills will replace the pres
ent ones to explore to 1,COO feet or
more. The big strike will be hailed
with satisfaction by furnace men, for
new mines on the Vermil];on are ex.
ceptionally desirable.

STATE PRISON IS PRAISED.
Warden Jones, Of Ohio, Speaks HiqhIy
Of Minnesota's System.

The manufacture of binder Irvine in
the state prison at Saltwater is the
finest means of employing prisoners
that l have ever seen," said T. H. B..
Jones, warden of the state peniten-
tiary at Columbus, Ohio, who is at the
West Hotel while stopping on his way
to the convention of prison wardens
at Seattle. Mr.. Jones spent a day at
the Minnesota state prison last week.
THE work of making the Irvine is
not physically hard upon the prison
ers," he continued. 1T makes excel
lent labor for them. 1t is also great
thing for the state, as 1 was told at
the prison that the Irvine mill received
more orders than it could fill. It is
unusual for state penitentiary to get
such good returns for the labor of it's
prisoners. The warden, Mr.. Wolfer,
appeared to be very proficient man,
and the whole establishment showed
the results of his care and ability.
In Ohio we are having all kinds
OF trouble to find employment for the
inmates of our penitentiary, as the
legislature has just ruled against all
prison products that interfere with the
articles manufactured by union labor.
We had about 100 prisoners when I
left, and it was great problem to
ind work to keep them busy.
There is hope that conditions will
soon be better, however, as the legis.
lature will let us supply a great many
OF the needs of the other state insti-
tutions. In addition to this we win be
allowed to manufacture desks for pub.
lie schools, which will keep a large
number at work.
