vetch and Oats.

Some of the farmers of this coun- ty have been experimenting on our worn out old soil, showing what can be done with northern grown crops. It is known what the land will pro- duce of the southland crops. E. F. Wilson has fine tract of land about 2 1-2 miles from the city---an old field farmed for an hundred years, perhaps. and for the past five years lain dorment. The owner has mo- tion to try what the government said could be raised here of north ern crops, oats and Russian yetch, and he tried it. On 2 1-2 acres he planted 90 pounds of oats and 30 pounds of vetch, after fertilizing the land with 200 poundsof commercial fertilizer. Today his oats stand l-2 feet high, well headed in the milk, and the vetch with fully as long VlneS, lnterWoven With the oats, all in bloom, making mass of purple and green, oats and hay, on the land that could hardly be walked through. The oats, it is claimed, will go 90 bushels to the acre. and the vetch and oat straw will give 3 to 4 tons of excellent fodder to the acre, after threshing the oats out and baling the hay. The crop will be off by June 1. Peas will immediately be sown and another big crop will be raised, which will also enrich the land. In this field was noticed one set of stalks of oats from one kernel of grain of fifty-two all headed out fine. Tis is h the condition of the farm lands in this section of the country. When it is properly titled it will raise double the crops of the northern land, and two crops per year. .-Texarkana Courier.

 "As a militant member of the working class frankly confess that expect nothing from this court. A court of justice, socalled. who turns away a mangled working child empty handed, in defense of capitalist class property against working class life and limb, is not apt to look with favor upon one in revolt against such shock ing inhumanity and the system re- sponsible for it.
 We know that this is the settled policy of this court. We understand why it's decisions are in the interest of employer and against the working men and working woman.
 You are serving those to whom you are indebted for your position and responsible for. your power. am simply trying to show to the working class world, which embaces great majority of the population, the character of the federal court, to which must be submitted their liberties and their lives. The feder- al court under capitalist misrule is essentially capitalistic n it's sym pathies, it's interests and decisions.
 Personally, it is a matter of no consequences to me what this court decides in this case. If this court concludes to sanction the scandalous methods employed to secure my con- viction and the outrageous sentence imposed upon me for the commission of what Judge Pollock termed "a mere misdemeanor," shall consider it the proudest day of my life when I enter the jail at Fort Scott, be- cause of my defense of the poor and oppressed. You will by that act in- crease my power a thousandfold and carry my message to toiling mil lions from sea to sea. Gladly will l make this small sacrifice in a cause to which I would willingly give my life"

Judges Not Free.

Below we give few extracts from a speech of Fred Warren, managing editor of the Appeal to Reason,
 made in his own.defense before the Federal court of appeals at St. Paul recently. He discharged his lawyers because they would not say to the court what he thought ought to be said:
 By environment, training and economic interests. the judges who compose this court are opposed to me- You can no more impartialIy consider the questions involved in this case than could the judges ap- pointed by the English king consider impartially the questions which arose between that monarch and his American subjects.
 Tn all controversies that arose between the master and his slave prior to the revolution of 1860. the Federal courts made their decisions conform to the interests of the mas ters. It was from the slave owners that they derived their powers and held their positions. No man openly antagonistic to the slave power could hold position on the Federal bench.
 An examination of the decisions of this court---and your decisions are similar to those of all other Fed eral courts--wherein the interests of the working man conflict with the interest of the employer, is ample proof of the class character of the Federal judiciary.

 In this connection, it is well to mention the fact that Mena already has made good advance in education- al standing, with splendid grade schools. it's high school, and the parochial institutions, the Catholic and German Lutheran. The former of these has more than 150 students and is planning heavy expenditures for large new buildings to meet the growing requirements.

victs now serving time in the peniten-
tiary, and the indictment charges
them with assault and robbery. This

of Buena Vista and two of the con-
victs were killed and two others

his lung, and also two shots in the
back.
Murray was not hurt, but was put
in a dungeon for a time. Ferris will
leave the prison some time during the
present month, while Murray is serv-
ing an indeterminate sentence. Ferris
was committed from Clackamas coun-
ty, serving one and one-ha1f years for
larceny from building, and Murray
was convicted in UmatilIa county for
burning building.
In the hunt Walter Johnon, an Of

/ MARKET LETTER
OUR
Receipts and Sales at Portland Union
Stock Yards.

PORTLAND, Or, Oct. S--Receipts
for the week ending today have been
as follows: Cattle, 1893; calves, 2s2;
hogs. 2S29; sheep, 1857; goats, 1876.
The steer market for the week rail-
led slightly; one top load having
brought $3.50. The quality of the Of
ferings were fair. The COW market re-
mains steady. Bulls sold steady and
calves were strong and high. The hog
market at the weeks close was about
zoe, but prices ruled around $1,000.
which was higher than Missouri river
hogs cost laid down.
The establishment of a Western I'M
ion telegraph office at the yards is a
convenience which livestock shippers
have appreciated.
Much complaint is coming from
owners of livestock, who say that
banks throughout the country have
loaned their available money on the
wheat crop and in consequence there
are no funds available for feeding cat
tie.
The movement by the railroads. the
Agricultural colleges and the Stock
Yards for an increased hog production
in the Pacific Northwest is attracting
widespread attention.
Representative sales have been as
follows: Steers. s4.25 to $3.50; calves.
IS to 81; cows, s3.75 to s4.50; hogs,
1890 TO 5000; heifers. $3.50; sheep,

RECEPTION TO NEW PASTOR
Methodists of Dallas Welcome Return
of the Reverend George f. Hopkins.

The action of the Methodist Com
ference in returning the Reverend
George Hopkins to the Dallas charge
meets the warm approval Of the
members of the church in this city.
For the purpose of expressing their
hearty sanction, a reception to the
new pastor was held Thursday evening
at which almost the entire member
ship was present.
The Reverend Hopkins came to Dali
las a few weeks ago from Redfield,
South Dakota, having served for sever
al years as district superintendent
in that state. In his relation to the
church in South Dakota, he bore the
reputation of being an able man, ca
pable of filling any charge in his con-
ference, and this reputation has fol-
lowed him to Oregon.
During the short time he has been
in Dallas, he has won many friends.
When he went to conference, it was
the unanimous wish of his people that
he be returned, and this was also his
own wish, although other places offer
ed some strong inducements in the way
of salary Mr.. Hopkins likes Dallas
and Dallas people, and this, with the
difficulty of moving again so soon, in
fluenced him to express a wish that
he be returned, although ready to
move If it should be so decided by the
conference.
The reception was a highly enjoy
able. affair, and there was warm feel
ing of fraternity among those pres
ent. The program consisted of music,
luncheon and speeches. Hon. George
L. Hawkins gave a pleasing address of
welcome, and feeling response was
voiced by the pastor.
Short speeches were given by the
pastors of other churches of the city,
among whom were the Reverend Ed
gar w. Miles, the new pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church; the Rev.
erend II. l.. Pratt. who was recently
appointed pastor of the United Evan
gelical Church. and the Reverend
Pease, the new Baptist pastor.
1t would have been an inspiration
to anyone to have seen these minis
ters, representing different creeds, all
enjoying a fellowship together and all
united in common cause.

publicans Ever Known in Old Polk.

ing active arrangements for what

A. M. Crawford and other state can
didates have been invited, and will
doubtless be present.
Republicans who heard Senator
Malarkey speak in Salem, Saturday
evening, unite in declaring it one Of
the fairest, masterful, clean-cut polit-
ical speeches to which they have
ever listened. His plea for the support
of the entire ticket is simply irresist-
ible. The writer has had the pleasure
of hearing many noted political speak
ers in his day. both in Oregon and in
the Eastern states but he does not
recall more logical and convincing
presentation of sound Republican doc
trine than that delivered by Senator
Malarkey in Salem last Saturday
night.
The Republicans of Falls City are
entitled to great credit for their in
terest in the success of the ticket and
it is the duty of the Republicans Of
the county to turn out in large num-
bers and help make their meeting one
of the most rousing and enthusiastic
political gatherings ever held within
the borders of Old Polk.
