FOODAhD DAIRY
COMMISSIONER
MIR. BAILEY APPEARS AND AN
SWERS QUESTIONS, AND HIS
DEPUTIES AND OTHERS WILL
BE EXAMINED THIS AFTER
NOON.

The food and dairy committee Of
the house and a committee of the
senate, to which was referred the
special message of Governor West,
asking for an investigation Of the
management of the office of Food
and Dairy Commissioner Bailey has
begun its labors this morning at the
state house. Summons were sent
out yesterday to the commissioner
and his deputies to be present and
testify, and when the investigation
commenced this morning, they were
all in attendance. Bailey is repre-
sented by Attorney, White, of Port
land, and was the first witness to
take the stand.
The charges against Bailey are in
competency, and having padded his
expense account, and used the funds
to purchase articles for his home
and in payment Of other expenses not
of public nature. Senator Chase
acted as chairman of the committee,
and started the investigation by ask
ing a series of questions, which had
been reduced to writing, but by
whom it seems is uncertain. The tirst
questions were along a line which
would determine whether Bailey was
competent. They referred 10 the sys-
! tenn used in keeping a record of in
spections made of money collected,
and reports submitted upon various
matters. The commissioner admitted
that the reports which formed a
basis for his public reports that is
those submitted to the governor
had mostly been lost, but that it
had occurred without his consent.
He also admitted that the score
card system now in vogue in his Of
flee had been introduced by him, but
claimed it was good, and that as
soon as it's use was suggested that he
adopted it. After a number of other
questions along this line the COM
mittee turned its attention to the
second charge-that Of Bailey having
used the states money for his own
use.
He admitted that he had bought 6
horse and buggy, but maintained thai
it was bought with his own money
and, while the state had paid for the
keeping OF two horses, that 1t hat
their services for nothing. He de
MED that he had charged the expense
of his trips to his farm at Eugene tt
the state, and offered to present doc
uments to prove the statements. HI
had not, he said, kept a record o.
the inspections made of the various
dairies in the state.
This afternoon his deputies will
he examined. There Is also in at
tendance a delegation Of womel
representing the Consumers League
of Portland, and when the prope
time comes they will give testimon.
along certain lines The investiga
ton will consume all of the after

Marcuse Colony, located in Suffer

which nearly every agricultural prod
uct known may be successfully raised
without irrigation.
The soil is a dark, sandy loan,
Sedimentary in character, level and
well drained II has the advantage
over other soils in that it is loose in
character and superior to heavy soils
With this wealth of soil, abundance
of water. unexcelled climate and long
growing season, Marcuse Colony is
the ideal place for the homeseeker
with limited means. the worn out pro
fessional man, or the young man look
ing for small farm in a healthfuI

The proximity Of Marcuse Colony to
Sacf" cento, furnishes a ready market
for vegetables, poultry, eggs and
dairy products. Fruits, vegetables,
alfalfa. grains and grasses and poultry
yield large returns. The rainfall is
certain and drought is unknown.
Land is yet moderately priced, but
crop failures In other sections of the
United States will bring new settlers
in rapidly. This, together with the
holding Of the Panama Pacific Expo
sition in San Francisco during 1915,
Is bound to raise the price; and wheth-

most thickly populated country in the

moved into its place, grim and power
full and able to withstand any assault
that Mongols might make.
Its battlemented walls are so feet
high. and at every few hundred feet

of yore Chinese warriors stood ever
ready to repel the invader

When the Ming dynasty had come
into power 1t duplicated for consid.
cradle extent Shi-Hoangti's wall. and
thus for a large part of the distance
there is a double barrier.
The most powerful part OF the wall
is that at Pa-ta-ling. for this gate was
only 60 miles from Pekin. and here 1t
was that any charges directed against
the greatest and richest city of the ma
ton would have to be repulsed One
great battle was fought here, for at
the top OF the Nankou pass the gate
was the scene of the last stand against
the noted Monaghan warrior, Genghis
Khan. and when he overrode the de-
tenders II was down the pass and
through the gate that the conqueror
led his forces. He took the Mongols
into China and conquered a country
against which his people had been
lighting for 1900 years.
Kubla Khan also entered by this
pass when he completed the conquest
Of China and made his realm the
greatest the world had ever known.
Genghis Khan and Kubla Khan
we're differently dispositioned. Genghis
burned all the literature OF China. but
Kubla protected the literature and
helped along the people by wise meas
ures that gave prosperity in agricul-
ture and commerce. Kubla fixed
places in the wall that had been raw
aged by the wars of the centuries and
undertook to restore tranquility In
the country.
Some historians have said that the
great wall accounted for the sloth in
to which China fell The huge bar

sense OF security and made them feet

Centuries passed In this foolish de-
fusion. and when the war with Japan
came China discovered that she had
been sleeping for centuries.
Since the humiliation OF that defeat
by the Mikado a determination has
grown up among the younger element
OF the people to earn a place among
the great nations of the world.
The old dowager empress and the
weakling emperor stood in the way.
Now they are gone. and the country
looks with hope to the strong man
who is now at the helm. II is prob
