PACIFIC NORTHWEST
IDEAL FOR DA|RY|NG
CHIEF OF DIVISION SAYS
SECTION is MOST FAVORED
A. H. Rawl, Dairy Expert Says North
west is Not Living up to Possible
ties-More Dairy Cows and Better
Ones Are Needed.

Portland, Ore.-That the Pacific
Northwest is one of the most favored
dairy sections of the whole world was
the statement of A. H. Rawl, chief Of
the dairy division of the Department
of Agriculture, who was in Portland
this week. Mr.. Rawl was banqueted
by the Portland Commercial club and
he took occasion to tell the Portland
business men that the Northwest is
not living up to its possibilities in
dairying.
II would have orchards, sheep and
other things on the farms of this
Willamette valley" said Mr.. Rawl.
land 1 would also have more dairy
cows and better ones. Dairying means
a great deal here for it gives quick
cash returns, provided the proper in
vestment is put into it. The soil of
! this valley will last forever with a we'll
| balanced system Of agriculture.
/ There are about 22,000,000 dairy
cattle in the United States which are
producing about half they would
under ordinary business methods. Peo-
pie tell me that the Northwest is
backward in building up its dairy in
dustry. You need not think you are
the only ones who are slow about It.
The same condition is true elsewhere.
The Willamette valley is one Of the
best dairy districts in the world. It
needs more drainage, more cows, more
dairy farmers, and it has many good
ones now.
/ IT wish we had $4,000 available for
work in encouraging the dairy indus
try on this coast. We have not got
it but we. hope to have it within the
next two years. I look for the best
results by working with local institu-
tions. Farmers can best be taught
by the force of example. If we can
come here and join with local institu-
tions in helping out, as far as am
concerned, I shall be glad to do it."

several other towns on the eastern
boundary of Indiana are anxious to
learn just where they 'are at" Sur
veyors allege that the strip of country
along the Indiana-Ohio border in
which these municipalities are locat-
ed, now belong to Indiana, is really
part of Ohio. If this claim should
be sustained, thousands of people who
now consider themselves Hoosiers
would be transformed into Buckeyes.
It is safe to say that majority of the
persons involved do not consider such
a elimination desirable. and If the
matter should come to an issue. the
citizens of Union City will fight to re-
tain their right to the title of Hoosier.

can be accomplished without addi-

big game hunter to wear bright red

purpose being to reduce the danger Of

Ex-PREsIDENTs IN POLITICS.
Chief Magistrates Who Have Mixed
Up in Party Contests After
Retirement.


The spectacle of a former occupant
of the presidential chair knee-deep in
politics recently excited the interest
of the entire nation-and, in some
quarters, no small amount of criti-
cism.
Such a spectacle, it must be admit
ed, is for the present generation a
novelty. From the collapse of the
Grant third-term boom, thirty years
ago, to Mr.. Roosevers remittance in
to the political arena during the past
autumn, no ex-president has been
known to identify himself in any ac-
tive manner with the political contests
of state or nation. OF the six presi-
dents between Grant and Roosevelt
two-Garfield and McKinley-died in
office; the retirement Of two others
Arthur and Hays-at the expiration
of their terms was absolute and al
though both Harrison and Cleveland
after quitting the White House, par.
ticipated occasionally in public affairs
and retained keen interest in the
political doings of their times, each
manifestly regarded himself as ire
vocably withdrawn from the theatre
of active party combat
Fifty or seventy-five years ago
however, the situation was far other
wise. OF the twenty men in all who
from Washington to Roosevelt, have
survived their tenure of the chic
magistracy, not fewer than half con
tinued to exercise, out of office, SOM
measure of the public influence which
thew exercised in It, In at least 81,
or seven instances, this influence wa
profoundly felt within the domain
party politics.-Munsey's Magazine.

GIRL GIVES BONDS
TO REMAIN SINGLE

Spokane, Wash.-When Miss Mar
garet Perkins went to work as tele-
phone operator in a local hotel today
the management required her to give
a bond not to marry within six
months. This instrument, duly sign
ed and sealed, holds Miss Perkins
bondsmen liable to the extent of $500
in the event she becomes a bride on
or before June 81, 1911. The sure
ties are prominent business men.
The reason for this unusual require
ment by the hotel management is that
a half dozen telephone operators have
married within as many months, the
last two being Miss Florence Joyce.
who recently married a rancher, and
Miss Olive Bourne, who has gone to
Rockland. Mich, to join her intend
ed husband.
II am not engaged to marry any
one, nor do I expect to enter into an
engagement during the coming six
months" said Miss Perkins, comely
brunette. "and for that reason my
bondsmen have nothing to fear. OF
course, l have received proposal or
two. but I am not ready to settle
down for life.
"The making Of bond is a mat
ter of business with the management
OF the hotel" the operator continued.
There is more or less trouble every
time new operator is broken in.
the rule being that as soon as a girl
becomes efficient she deserts the
switchboard to join heart and hand

''As ! said. am not ready to be-
come the wife of any man. therefore
the management has nothing to fear
so far as I am concerned. The two
young women working on the other
eight-hour shifts will also be required
to give bonds, am informed"
A. G. Benson, manager OF the house,
believes that Miss Perkins and the
other operators Will carry out their
agreement to the letter.

FIRST REPORT OF
new INSTITUTION
SCHOOL FOR FEEBLE
MINDED MAKES GOOD
Superintendent III. e. Bickers and
Physician Show Excellent Condition
Health of Inmates Especially
Good.

In his first biennial report to the
governor and the legislature to have
been filed since the institution has
been established, Superintendent H.
e. Bickers of the stae institute for
the feeble-minded, gives a flattering
account Of the success of the institu-
ton and it's corps Of officers and at
tendants, in the conduct of the school
and the vast benefits derived by the
patients from the course of treatment
and education prescribed. The heal
thy condition of the, scnooI and it's
inmates during the two-year period
Is also set forth by the attending ply
sician, DR.. w. Carlton Smith, which
is highly satisfactory and encourage
ing to all concerned.
In his editorial setting forth the
conditions of the institution for the
past two years or eighteen months,
Superintendent Bickers points out
that the appropriation set aside for the
benefit of the school by the legisla-
ture of 1909 was inadequate for the
needs of the institution and that there
was deficiency of approximately
| $14,400, and he recommends that an
appropriation be made by the ap-
| preaching session of the legislature to
meet this deficiency, and that an al
ditional appropriation be made to
\ provide for additional buildings and
| equipfent to meet the growing de-
mands of the institution for the ensu-
ing two years
The superintendent says in part:
"The first feeble minded persons
to enter the institution were received
on December 1, 1908, on which date
there were transferred from the asy
lum 80 adults and children; we have
since received from that institution
80 and from other sources 1O2.
