fore the county court of Marion
county, Wednesday and made a
strong plea for better fruit inspec-
ton. Marion county is coming to
have a tremendous fruit interest.
Mr.. McNary said he had no candi-
date for the office but wanted the
county court to name an efficient
man, who would get over the whole
NJ 4 asNA
that the inspector should make a
map of the county, showing each
fruit tract, the kind of fruit grown
and keep a record of the treatment
as to cultivation and spraying by
each owner.
Mr.. Phillips of Missouri, who has
recently located in Salem is taking
time before investing in lands to go
over the Willamette valley some and
inform himself about conditions. He
marvels some at the prosperity o.
Salem. He does not believe that
state institutions are the real basis
of this condition, but that there
must be greater resources in the
soil in all directions around Salem.
He proposes to take time this spring
to get out into the country and post
himself as to these resources, the
various crops, the orchards, forests
and mineral wealth. 1t will sur
prise him to know that he can drive
in four loops from Salemof 100
miles each and not cross any road
he drives on The Willamette val
ley is a whopper.
Mr.. Phillips has been a Democrat
all his life, but speaks highly of the
work of the Republican governor of
that state. He says it is a good
sign that men are not voting party
lines as closely as formerly.
Ex-Judge G.. p. Terrell of Me-
hama, has been in town for a few
days watching the proceedings at
the courthouse. He takes a live
interest in all public matters if he
is only assistant postmaster at the
little summer resort town of Me
hama, where he knows every man,
woman and child, and there are few
of them to whom he has not rem
dered a kindness. The Judge took
an active part in the candidacy of
Ella Zollner, a contestant for The
Capital Journal. The Zollners are
German people and have worked |
hard to get foothold in the coun-
try.

to his beck and call They will cant
their heads to one side and utter
sounds as II showing appreciation Of
the way they are being used. Mr..
Adams has a rooster that he has
trained TO do many odd and interest
ing things. The bird comes to Mr..
Adams call and when told to crow
puts its head ON one side and sends
out ringing challenge. Mr.. Adams
has trained the rooster to jump
through his hands and after he does
any trick he is as proud as child
would be and will Immediately crow.
The rooster delights to have his pic
ture taken and will stand on box or
table and pose in a very knowing way.

THE FIRST STEPS TAKEN
 BY PRESIDENT TAFT
To Bring About Greater Business Ef- fiency in Government Departments.

Beverly. Mass, Aug. 2.-President Taft today took the first steps in the plan for bringing about greater bus mess efficiency in the different depart ments of the government and thus ef- fecting wide economies, by sending to Washington four sets of experts who are to make a preliminary study of the situation and submit a programme for carrying forward the work. Some one of these plans, or perhaps parts of all of them, may be accepted The plans to be submitted, however are to be in the nature of com etitive bids.
 The president < hasz@-been given saE appropriation of S100,000 for the pIr- pose of recognizing departmental methods. It is proposed that some ex- ecutive officer in each department and independent bureau at Washington, will be designated to serve on a com mission which will cooperate with the experts in bringing about the big reform. The undertaking is .volumi- nous and the president wants to get it under way at the earliest possible mo- ment. The inquiry will not be de- voted so much to cutting off a clerk here and there, but to formulate an entirely new structure of methods wherever present practice seems to such treatment This is the first time that a president of the United States had an appropriation to make inquiries of the kind contemplat- ed

6. V. Strike
 Called Off
SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME OF PEACE
 NEGOTIATIONS.
TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT.
Men to Receive Advance of Approxi-
 mateIy Eighteen Per cent.-same Settlement Applies to Grand Trunk.

Ottawa, Ont, Aug. 2.-The strike of concuctors. trainmen and yardmen. which began on the Grand Trunk and Central Vermont systems on July IS, was officially called off tonight. Un- der the terms of the agreement signed by President Hays for the railroads and all the union officials, the men will receive dating back to May 1 of thls year, an advance of approximately IS per cent, and beginning January 1. 1912, rate of wages slightly below the eastern association schedule for which they struck, but an advance in many instances of over 30 per cent
 Great Credit to Minister of Labor.
 Much credit for the successful out come of the peace negotiations is giv- en to Mackenzie King, the minister of Ia bor.s who has persisted in his efforts to bring the factions together despite discouraging setbacks-
 Men Obtain Two Concessions.
 The men obtain two concessions over the terms offered by President Hays on the day they struck. First. the stan dardization of pay and rules with those recently conceded by the Canadian Pa cidc takes place on January 1, 1912 instead of Janua.ty 1, 1913, as offered by MT. Hays, a gain of one year Against this must be placed the fact that the Canadian Pacific standard and rules are not quite those of the east ern association, which the men de- handed.
 Secondly. the offer made by Mr. Hays to the men on July 19- is ac- cepted, to hold until the standardiza- ton is adopted on January l. 1913, but the increased rate of pay made in that offer is made retroactive. The men. therefore, gain two and a half months of the increase, the offer of Mir. Hays being when made only eff fective from date.
 Former Positions to Be Restored "As
 Soon as Possible"
 Against these two gains there must be placed the fact that the men are only to be restored to their former po- sitions "as soon possible" How much they lose in this way only time can tell, as the company is not under obligation to discharge any of the men it has taken on since the strike was called, nor to reduce them in rank. Same Settlement Applies on Both Sys-
 tems.
 In the case of the Central Vermont the same settlement applies, with the exceHtion that, the standardization to be applied on January I, 1912 is to be that of the Rutland railway. road in the same territory, and not that lof the Canadian Pacific. which only apply to the Grand Trunk system.

ROOSEVELT AT COAL MINES. The Colonel Studying Labor Conditions
 in Anthracite Field.

Scranton, Pa, Aug. 2.-Col. Theodore Roosevelt arrived in Scranton by auto : mobile 1t 11.25 this morning. coming over the Pocono mountains from the Delaware Water Gap. He was accom- panied by Lawrence Abbott. son of the Rev. Dr. Lyman Abbott, editor of the to Scranton to make four days in vestigation of industrial conditions in the anthracite regions.
 While the real object of his trip is not definitely known, it is said that he will write a story of the coal region and that the trip has been planned for the last six months.
 Scranton, Pa, Aug. 2-Theodore Roosevelt spent the day among the workers in the heart of the Pennsyl- vania anthracite region.
 He met and talked with the men who dig the coal as they came from the mines black with grime- He talked with them about their homes their children and their manner of living He talked with their wives and their children, and learned from their own lips how they look at life. He climbed to the top of a coal breaker and re- mained there half aa hour in the stif1ing coal dust, so that he might see what the boys who work there have to do.
 He spent another half hour in silk mill, talking with the girl workers. sHe visited the people in their homes and saw how they lived. He p1odded two miles through the dust up hills and in all manner of places and returned to Scranton evening was drawing near, black with grime, but smiling with de- light at his experiences. The best part of it all, he said, repeatedly, was that he was able to meet the people as private citizen and talk with them as man to man.
 Many of the toilers had no idea of the ex-president's identity, which he took care to conceal, when possible, until after he had finished his talk. Others who knew who he was treated him, he said, not a former president but as a plain man who had come to see them, to talk and learn their con ditions.
 The colonePs new experiences began last night, when he was on his way by from New York to Dela- ware Water Gap. The automobilists came to crossroads and had no idea which way to go. It was dark and Colonel Roosevelt appealed for help to a farmer who was walking along the road.
 Thank you," said the colonel, after he had obtained the information. T am MT. Roosevelt"
 "Who?' shouted the farmer in 
 Theodore Roosevelt, former presi- dent,' said the colonel.
 The farmer threw up his hands in utter arnaZement.
 Well, swami" they heard him say as the automobile whisked away.
