EUGENE, Or, Jan. 24.-What APP
pears to be asbestos in large quantities
has been discovered on the Jarvis
hill farm south of Eugene, besides q
good ledge of copper ore. DR.. Jarvis
the owner, while inspecting his new
copper find, discovered the asbestos.
He did not know what it was at first,
but an expert who has worked in the
asbestos mines in Arizona, upon ex-
amining the rock, pronounced it asbes-
tos of good quality. If there is enough
of it to justify development work, DR.
Jarvis will mine that material as well
as copper.

HOG RAISING is URGED
ID. o. LIVELY SAYS OREGON is
NEGLECTING OPPORTUNITY.
Farmers of State Told They Can
Make Large Dividends by Promot-
ing This Industry.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis, Jan. 24.-That big
opportunity is being overlooked by
the farmers of Oregon in their failure
to produce meat animals, was the
opinion of d. o. Lively, general man.
ager of the Portland Stockyards, ex-
pressed in a lecture to the short
course students here this week. Mr..
Lively said in part:
millions of money are annually
sent into the Missouri Valley states for
hogs. sheep and cattle, as well as for
dressed meats with which to supply
the need of the Northwest for meat.
This supply could more economically
be produced in Oregon. The belief
that meat animals cannot be produced
without corn is fallacious. Other grains
and grasses which flourish here are ca
pable of producing meat animals at a
greater profit than occurs to produc-
ers in the corn states.
During the year ending September
80, the hogs sold in Portland brought
an average of $10.35 per hundred.
There is little cause to fear that people
will lose their appetite for pork, NUT
ton and beef. Chopped alfalfa is good
stock feed, but not adapted to the ap-
petite of the American people, and
meat will continue to be the popular
food it now is. On Monday of last
week the Portland stockyards handled
$4,000 worth of stock; had them
bought by noon and weighed and paid
for by 8 p. m. This could be dupli-
Gated any day and every day were the
animals forthcoming.
Oregon cattle raisers have erred in
not getting their cattle to market at
a young enough age. A 9-year-old
will be found more profitable to the
producer, if put into marketable con-
ditiOn, than will the 4-year-old, and
the 2-year- will be found more
nrOfitab bile than either"

No more meritorious measure is
pending in the Oregon Legislature
than the bill introduced by Represent
ative Powell for the relief of George
Nessling, the Dallas guardsman, who
was accidentally shot in the leg while
participating in rife practice two years
ago. Through B0- fault or carelessness
f-his own, this honest and industrious
young man was made an invalid, per-
haps for life. For many long months,
he suffered untold agonies in the local
hospital, and it was only recently that
he became able to walk. Having been
a laboring man, his savings were long
ago exhausted, and he now finds him
self cripple and without money. The
bill introduced in his behalf asks for
only enough money to pay his hospi-
tai expenses and this modest appeal
for aid should, and doubtless will, meet
with a willing response from the leg
lslators, once the sad circumstances
connected with the case are brought
to their attention.

Hard-pan prevents penetration Of

Where hard-pan exists, it should be

The present high price of dairy pro-

LITTLE GIRL WAS
KILLED BY TRAIN
At CROSSING
Sad Accident at HOOsiCk Falls
Yesterday.
GOING HOME FROM SCHOOL
Dodged Under Gates Because Com
panion Dared Her to
Do So

On the eve of Christmas the family
of Anthony Mekenski in Hoosick
Falls was thrown into deep grief yes
terday when Veronica Mekenski, six
years old, was run down and killed
by a passenger train on the Boston
and Maine railroad The accident
occurred before noon at the Church
street crossing in the village.
Little Veronica and three girl
chums were returning to their homes
from school to enjoy the holiday va
cation. When they reached the
tracks at Church street the gates
were down. but in spite of this one
of the little girls in a spirit of dar-
ing told her companions that she
was going to cross the tracks. The
other children followed and all had
narrow escapes from being struck by
the northbound train but the Meken.
ski child who was the last to run
over the tracks. was caught squarely
by the locomotive pilot.
The unconscious form was picked
up, carried for a distance OF nearly
100 feet on the iron pilot bars before
the train was brought to a stop. The
little girl was hurried into the resi-
dence of Mrs. John Purdy near the
scene of the accident and Drs. Put
nam, Shaw and McGraw were called
They did everything in their power
to prolong the life of the unfortunate
child, but she died within a half hour.
Ten minutes before she expired
the father of the child, known to a
host of friends as TONY" Mekenski,
reached the side Of the little one and
was Frustrated with grief when 1t
was announced she was dead. The
physicians who attended the girl sta
ted that the only injuries were to the
head. There was a slight puncture
at the top of the head and a fracture
at the base Of the skull The wheels
OF the train did not come into contact
with the body
The train which caused the death
OF the Mekenski child is due in Hoo
sick Falls at 1919 o'clock from Troy
but yesterday morning was consider
ably late. The group OF children Of
which the young victim was one. was
returning from the last study session
of school before Christmas when the
fatal accident occurred. The train
which was running at a fair speed
over the Church street crossing. was
in charge Of Engineer Vosburgh and
Conductor Clowser.
