deep regrets on both sides.

AhhthfNN NV NAef~ SANJt
was invaded on Tuesday by 800
delegates from Gillian, Morrow
and Sherman counties and 81
members OF the Portland Com.
mercial Club. The purpose OF
this invasion was to organize O
Tri.county Development League
and to evolve plans for the bet
terment Of agricultural condi.
tions in the three counties.
Practically nothing was done at
the afternoon session except to
discuss the object Of the meet
ing and elect a few committees.
For O few minutes it seemed
that the several delegations
might clash when it came to
selecting the place to hold the
Tri-county Fair but the folly of
contesting this question soon be-
came apparent and throughout
all three sessions the utmost
harmony prevailed. The condi-
tons existing in the three coun-
ties were widely discussed by
members Of the delegations and
it was apparent that Gillian
County is in better condition
than either of the other two.
The entire situation speedily re-
solved itself into one question
how to become successful, agri-
culturally. in a section where the
precipitation is light. In an
swering this question there was
a diversity of opinions. some
contending that only by irriga-
tion could it be solved, others
were in favor OF trying to secure
artesian water but by far the
majority declared that a scienti-
fic system of crop rotations
and diversified farming will
solve the problem with the
moisture which this section re-
ceives yearly. Diversified farm
ing seems to be the solution
which pleases most of the farm
ers. During the past the desire
of the farmers has been to raise
q good crop of wheat but of late
a few have taken up stockrais-
ing, Gairying, alfalfa and crop
rotations and these are now
the successful farmers of this
section of the state. 1t was
shown at the meeting that the
farmer who has been raising
hogs is the farmer who has been
paying off the mortgage. j. N.

ment, was unable to be present,

well as a great writer. At any rate, Dr.
owen surprised one OF his friends. Fred
erick W. Henninger, treasurer and gen.
eral manager Of the Sheet Steel Stamp
Company. OF Detroit. by formulating a
theory for an airship that he said ne
had got out of Bacon or Shakespeare.
Since time immemorial men have en-
deavored to master the air. Apparently
this has been accomplished during some
periods of history. The translation or
the Moabite stone which, recently COM
pleted. gives to us. the doctor declares.
an account OF the capture OF the Jews
by the Moabites describes how the city
was captured at night the fighting ma

the ground The aerials were dragged
upon the ground for the reason 10

stand how to operate them In order 10
make them ascend at least, that Is the
explanation the doctor gave TO MS
hacker. who Is to test his theories In
practical way by erecting machine

1.-THE theory on which the doctor Is
working with the aeroplane Is IN SUD-
stance as follows" said Mr.. Hennin2eT:
"The present forms Of balloons ano
aeroplanes are extremely limited IN

to that of gravitation. which naturally

they might try to prove that he was

destroyed. He. therefore, placed the
manuscripts in boxes measuring 20 by

ouired six men to handle, and there

The River Usk runs into the River
Wye in such a manner as to cause any

saws the cipher, so that anything COM
ing down the river would float to its
opening. When all was ready the boat
was loaded fioated down, tied up to the
vault, the boxes unloaded the contents
buried and the whole sealed over.
DIR. owen asserts that the cipher tells
him that the vault is of concrete and
cement, absolutely waterproof. The
boxes are also said to be proof against
destruction as long as they remain
buried. Three years ago DR.. owen went
to Boston. where he communicated his
discoveries to many scholars Of that city
and gained the backing for an expedition

treasures and prove that Shakespeare

he told his friends of the scenery around
the St Adams represented as being
named in the cipher. When he finally
went to England, financed by American
capital, he spent much of his early time
in finding out if the cipher was correct
in regard to these minor details.
First of all he established TO his own
satisfaction that it really was to the
st. Adams near Wales that Bacon went,
instead Of the st. Adams near London,
as had hitherto been supposed. He
proved this by passages In Shakespeare
and the cipher describing the scenery
and territory thereabouts.

All his discoveries he did not make

In 1893 he married Miss Mabel Van

cinnati Conservatory of Music and said
to be one of the finest pianists in Amer
lea off the concert stage She acts as
secretary for her husband and shows q
lively interest in his work This union
has resulted in four children.
1t is within the last ten years that DR..
Owen has made what he deems his great
discoveries, the most important Of which,
as said he has not made known, except
to his hackers and most intimate friends.
His friends say that besides proof in the
cipher that it was Bacon that wrote the
plays attributed to Shakespeare. the doc
tor will be able to show the manuscripts
themselves. with Bacon's seal on them.
hi the passage in one of the plays the
doctor says he has found description
of how Bacon loaded his manuscripts on
q fiat boat and in the middle of the night
floated them down the River Usk, into
the River Wye. and deposited them in

their reception.

the wrapping shows through the varnish.
The durability OF n rod depends a great
deal upon the varnIsh; an inferior varnish
means an inferior. short-lived rod.
The line guides are matters OF indl-
vidual choice. My personal preference
is for what are known as "snake guides"
They permit OF free running of the line
and are less liable to get fouled when
sneaking through the brush. The grip
should be Of cork. laid on in circular shape
instead Of longitudinally. as is frequently

Now word about the casing OF the

rod that is not worth protecting Is not
worth buying. Every rod should have a

A rod such as have described can
be purchased at from sl2 TO $50 A cheaper
rod will prove unsatisfactory; one at a
greater price will be simply ostentation
The man with such rod will he able 10
cast as far and play as heavy fish as the
man who sports the most expensive

rod, II does not all do so. There are peo-
pie who would smash so rod into kind

trout. while others would kill a five-pouno

This last is not an argument for the cheap
rod. No self-respecting FISH likes 10 he
