Yamhill county, just west of Salem,
has been here two years and speaks
highly of the country, He says:
''The Alsea is a great grass and uit
country, but it very much needs a
go-ahead class of people. 1t is a
fine stock country, has mild climate
and cattle run the whole year
through and come out of the winter
in better shape than some that are
kept up in the valley where l was
raised No sheds are required for
the cattle in winter because they
have shelter and there is very little
rough weather. 1 raised a potato
crop last year by just dropping them
on the grass and plowing them in.
Had large crop and used potatoes
all the year from the ground. Never
took them out or put them in the
cellar. 1t is the best country know
of for a poor man to get a foothold,
but man with means can do
better"

Has Farmed Twenty Years.
J. w. Gray has farmed for the
past twenty years and says the Alsea
country cannot be excelled for gen.
eral agriculture, dairying and fruit
and vegetable culture. This may
seem a trite saying to mary but
when you ask man like Mr.. Gray
as to details he is ready to give
them "Oats hay, says Mr. Gray,
'is one of the most profitable crops.
There is always a demand for hay
on the bay, as there are a number
of sawmills, md logging operations
require hay on a large scale. Fruit
of all kinds will grow to perfection
back from the beach-especially
small fruits and apples. This is
natural apple country and winter ap-
pies grow firm and fine of texture
and good color and splendid keeping
qualities. Cranberries have been
raj ed here for many years. The
Stearns place and the Harrison place
have produced fine cranberries, and
without flooding the lands Stick
the vines in the GROUND and they will
produce crops. What we need is
people who will give this industry
attention. 1t is very healthy
country and there is very little sick
ness. OF course, a few old people
are sick, but that is about all In
twenty years we have never failed to
get an abundance of everything that
we planted. There are still plenty
of cheap lands to be had, and every
acre will produce fruit or dairy
products. This is natural grass
country. In all the valleys and on
the hills clovers and timothy grow
in great luxuriance. The grass
grows all the year around and we
seldom-almost never-have freez-
ing weather. 1t is as fine dairying
and cheese country as Tillamook
county, and in fact Lincoln and Tilla-
nook cannot be surpassed in these
industries. All our bottom lands
will go to 500 per acre and they
can be picked for $50 per acre at
present.

Former Car lspeetor Witness in I'LL

Chicago, July 28.-Harold A.. Sims
told striking story of wholesale graft
before Master in Chancery Roosevelt,
B. Mason here In connection with the
Investigation being made into the al
legged $1.500,00O car repair fraud in
the Illinois Central railroad.
Sims, former car inspector for the
railroad, and later in the employ Of
one of the five car repair companies
charged with the fraud, declared that
the Illinois Central was made to fur,
nish not only materials, but also labor
for repairs, and then was charged from
one of three prices for the work
through an elaborate system of pad,
ded bills.
Sims said the greater part OF the
woodwork supposed to have been done
in the Independent shops and fol
which the railroad company paid 9
round figure, was really done at the
Illinois Central shops in Memphis, He
said the railroad company was prac
tically paying handsomely for doing
work for itself.

Dortmund, July 2S.-The list of bank
failures in Germany through excessive
speculative operations has received a
striking addition in the insolvency of
the Niedcrdeutsche bank, against
which bankruptcy proceedings were
begun.
This action was preceded by the ar
rest of Herr Ohm, one of the directors
and the chief manager Of the bank,
who came to grief through his at.
tempts to found numerous industrial
companies. which were inadequately
capitalized.
The liabilities of the bank are placed
at s12,500,000, while its capital is
100000. It is stated that the de-
positors will loose the greater part of
their money and the members Of the
board nearly the whole Of their private
fortunes. Ohm owes the bank a huge
sum and 1t is understood other arrests
are impending.

ment Of Taft.

Columbus, O., July 2S.-The repub
lican candidate for governor OF Ohio
is Warren G. Harding, of Marion, once
lieutenant governor.
Despite the efforts of Senator Bur.
tons Cuyahoga county delegation to
stampede the convention for Nicholas
Longworth and George B. Cox's every
effort in behalf of Judge o. B. Brown,
the Dayton man, combination of the
progressive" with the national ad
ministration men broke up the fight
on the third ballot. Then Cox, yield
ing to the inevitable, cast the ninety
one Hamilton votes for Harding and
that finished it. Continuation of the
roll call was farce. The withdrawal
of James r. Garfield and Carmi A.
Thompson before the beginning Of the
vote made possible combination. All
the Garfield votes outside the Cuya-
hoga delegation, except few that
chung grimly to the undeveloped can
didacy OF the former secretary of the
interior, were cast for Harding. Wal
ter Brown, Of Toledo, and Wade H.
Ellis, state chairman, were influential
in lining up the other delegates for
the Marion man. The understanding
that the president was not satisfied
with the candidacy of Judge Brown
did the rest. Immediately after this,
Lieutenant Governor Francis w.
Treadway was renominated by accla-
nation.
The third ballot gave Harding 746;
necessary to choice, 534.
Granville w. Mooney. speaker OF
the house, was nominated for secre-
tary of state.
The republican platform, az finally
evolved by the entire committee ON
resolutions. is practically replica Of
the draft shown to President Taft BY
Wade II. Ellis at Beverly, Mass. The
conservation plank, however. is that
presented by the Garfield men on the
committee and the Endorsement Of the

Best For Country. Shadow
Picture Of Colonel's Attitude
a. Told by His Visitors.

Oyster Bay, July 2s.-Those who
heard Theodore Roosevelt talk at
Sycamore Hill came away with
sharply-etched shadow picture Of what
his attitude will be in state and ma
tional politics. Primarily he wishes
to keep in the background in the ap.
preaching campaign, for he feels that
taking too prominent part In 1t be
may be accused of assuming . distat-
orship.
These views Colonel Roosevelt has
explained to those who have come to
see him recently.
He tells his visitors that he Is anx.
ious to take q hand as a private citi-
zen, but he is willing to 80 no further.
Broadly speaking. he will. as he has
said on several occasions, do all in
his power to help the men who stood
by him and his policies formulated
during his years in the White House.
but he is non-committal as to whether
he expects to carry this to the point Of
coming out openly in favor of the Re-
publicans all over the country whom
he considers to be standing for his
ideas. He does say, however, that he
must forget fractional differences and
even party lines and support the men
and the things which he believes to
stand for the best interests of the
country as whole. But he has not
made up his mind when he will take
any decided stand.
N. Y. Situation Shifting.
The Republican situation in this
state is shifting so rapidly that the
colonel said he was having trouble
keeping pace with 1t. During his lat.
est interview there were mentioned to
him the names of Representative Ham.
ilton Fish and William H. Hotchkiss,
state superintendent of insurance, as
having been spoken of recently in con.
nection with the gubernatorial nomin.
alton. He replied by naming over the
whole list of men who have been men.
toned. adding that he had no idea
whatever as to who the best man
should be. He repeated in substance
his recent declaration that the people
must choose their man and that his
nomination must result from this fact
not because one man or one set of men
! wanted him.
When the colonel heard the news OF
the OHIO Republican convention he sat
silent and motionless in his chair for
a full minute. He looked as though
| he wanted to say something, and the
interviewers leaned forward for his ex.
pected statement on Ohio politics
Suddenly he brought his hands to-
gether with smack and said: mot
a word to say, gentlemen, not word
to say"
Colonel Roosevelt said he had not
been reading up on Nebraska politics
lately and had not heard how William
]. Bryan had Jared in the Democratic
convention In that, state. The inter
viewers broke the news Of the set
back to his former rival and the col
onel asked whether the differences Of
opinion had arisen because Mr.. Bryan
went too far or not far enough in bis
proposed temperance legislation. AT
ter he. was told that the former
seemedsto fill the case. there was moth
ing which he cared to add in comment
of Mr.. Bryan.
