COMPANY ORDERS NEW CARS

Increased Fruit Production Causes
Big Order For Equipment.
One thousand new refrigerator cars
equipped with collapsible tanks with
capacity of 1900 pounds Of ice,
will soon be delivered to the Pacific
Fruit Express company, a subsidiary
of the Southern Pacific company. The
collapsible tanks will enable the COM
pany to use the cars for ordinary
freight during the periods that the
cars are not required for perishables.
The first installment of these new
cars will be started westward within
another month and they will imme-
diately go into service.
This order of 1000 new cars is an
increase of ten per cent. and makes
the total refrigerator equipment of
this company 1900 cars. The latest
refrigeration ideas have been adopt
ed in the building of the cars and
most effective insulation will line the
interiors. Five years ago the Pacific
Fruit Express company had $500 of
these cars, but the growing fruit and
produce business of California, Ore
gon, Washington, Idaho and other

a thousand additional cars to be pur-
chased annually.
The equipment of this character
owned by the Pacific Fruit Express
represents an outlay of more
than $15.000,000. This new order
will total nearly a million and a half
dollars, at an approximate cost of
$1400 each. The unceasing develop
ment of the Vests horticultural and
agricultural resources and the trans
of deserts into green orch
ards and fields creates the demand
for more of these cars each year.

MAY AGAIN VOTE ROAD TAX
People I'm District No. Pleased With
Experiment of Past Year.

People I'm District No. 1 Pleased With
Experiment of Past Year.
The people of road district No. l.,
Polk county, are talking about voting
another special tax for road work
next year, says the Willamina Times
They have made a fine start and have
built about two miles of fine road
this year. A new stone quarry has
been opened and the rock crusher is
still there for use, so a big portion
of the expense will be cut out here
after. A large percentage of the peo-
pie more than get their tax money
back by working on the road and
they would get the same benefit next
year. The people of that district are
progressive and believe in the good
roads movement. J. A. Botz has talk
ed with many of the people of the
district regarding the matter ana all
he saw are favorably inclined to keep
the good work going. When the
meeting is held regarding the matter.
the people should appoint a commit
tee to communicate Win the auto
mobile club at Portland and endeavor
to get some financial assistance from
them for they are as anxious to have
good roads as anybody, for they are
boosters for that purpose.

PROFITS OF WALNUT RAISING
Monmouth Orchard Owner Pleased
With Future Outlook.

Monmouth Orchard Owner Pleased
With Future Outlook.
In his walnut orchard J. B. Stump,
of Monmouth, Oregon, believes he has
a gold mine better even than the
dairy business or the raising of Jer-
seys, sheep or goats. The first trees
set out have now been growing eight
years. Last year they averaged about
five pounds to the tree and this year
they will produce at least double that
amount Walnut growers expect a
trees increase to be steady until it
produces 100 pounds per annum or
even more. The price of walnuts is
from 10 to 20 cents a pound. Trees
40 feet apart, or 80 trees to the acre
producing 100 pounds per tree would
then mean 5000 pounds to the acre
and at 10 cents pound that figures
$500 per acre and absolutely nothing
to do but gather the fruit. This is
very conservative estimate, too.
Mr. Stump is fortunate in having his
trees on ground where frost has never
touched them. He will this year
plant $50 more grated trees. The
ground between the rows can be used
for the first 10 years or more for 9TH
er crops And this seems to indicate
good money in walnuts in the Will
lamette valley.

Report Looks Good.

State Treasurer d. S. Creamer has
made an annual report to Governor
Harmon predicting that within short
time the state will have more cash
to its credit than 1t has ever had be-
fore. The record was made four years
ago when the states funds amounted
to $6,S91,00O. According to the state
treasurer, funds on hand will soon be
more than $7,COO,OOO. The balance on
hand November Is, 1911, the close of
the fiscal year, was $3,76S, 1857, but
since that time the receipts of the
state have caused this amount to be
increased to about $6,000.O00. with the
surplus still growing. The receipts
of !11 exceeded the expenditures by
100000. The interest on state funds
for the past year amounted to $780,.

Still Certifying Taxes.

Gathering up loose ends of lists of
foreign and domestic corporations and
\ few public utilities, the state tax
commission certified to the state audi
tor domestic corporations with sub
scribed capital of $1,419,O1O, foreign
corporations with proportion of
$681,672 used in Ohio and gross re-
ceipts and earnings of public utilities
amounting to $67,S71.
The fees from these concerns will
net the state $4,3S2.71. Nearly all of
this will be paid by companies that
have not filed reports heretofore or
paid fees to the state.
During the last few days the COM
mission has consented to a number of
compromises recommended by the at
torney general, who has charge of the
collection of fees from delinquent cor
porations and public utilities. No pen
atty, however, was remitted where
fault lay with the company. Most of
the compromises were made in cases
where questions concerning the
amount of the fee were being deter
mined.

wln rake up Woman suffrage.

olumbus.-Woman suffrage will be
as large subject in the constitutions
al convention as taxation, the liquor
question, good roads or the initiative
and referendum, according to the COM
mittee arrangements just completed by
the committee on rules. The conven-
tion also will depart from legislative
custom and start the work with large
committees. The rules committee,
with President Bigelow in the chair,
spent most of day on the job and
completed its tentative report in the
evening. 1t provided for 19 commit
tees, 13 of which are to have 81 men,
bers, others nine seven or five. 1t was
the suggestion of the president that
large committees be named.
In the list of committees with 21
members are: Initiative and refer
endum, short ballot, judiciary, woman
suffrage, good roads, public works,
municipal corporations, taxation, mis-
cellaneous subjects, amendments,
schedules, liquor traffic and labor The
committee of arrangements has nine
members and so has the committee to
prepare and submit to the people the
address stating reasons for the adop-
ton of the constitution when the work
has been completed. The committee
on rules, claims and printing the rec
ords has seven, and the committee on
employees has five. This makes 317
committee places for the 119 dele
gates, which will give each man two
places and leave third place for 79.
The convention is to be leisurely
and studious body il the recommends
tions of the rules committee decided
upon are adopted. These recommen-
dations provide for but three sessions
a week-Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday mornings. In order to in
sure a quorum at the Tuesday ses-
sion, however, a Monday night roll
call meeting is to be ordered.
The three daily sessions a week
were decided upon on the grounds
that this would give the committee
| time to deliberate without holding
night sessions. 1t was said the three
sessions would transact the business
of the convention more expeditiously
than would five each week, when II
was feared 1t would often he neces-
sary to await reports of committees.

IN LESS STRENUOUS TIMES
Explanation Of the Differences Be-
tween Domestic Standards Now
and Those Of Long Ago.

In the Woman's Home Companion
there is an interesting presentation Of
the difference that exists between the
domestic standard Of young married
women of today and those of the past
generation. How did the women Of
the middle class of generation or
two ago manage when they could not
keep help? Following Is the answer
quoted from a Companion editorial:
"They lived according to their
means; they did not set up impossible
standards, and they knew much less
about the science OF bringing up chill
dren. They had no special style to
keep up; gave the children weekly
bath; kept the table set between
meals; did not serve their meals in
courses. but put all the food on the
table at once; confined their social
affairs to evening calls and parties,
and church suppers, at which they
wore the same black silk dress for at
least two seasons; in short, every
woman did only what she could, and
her friends made 1t easier for her by
doing likewise"

Is, 1911, interest on its deposits,
amounting to $139,23s, totaled $751;
less than in 1910, according to the
annual report of State Treasurer

was caused by the depleted condition

Creamer points out that the law has

of keeping it in recognized money
centers. The average rate of interest
on inactive deposits is given as 1862
per cent.

Can't Find Relatives.

Although the state board of chari-
ties for the last six months has made
diligent effort to locate relatives of
1000 odd wards of state institutions,
the work had been rewarded by find
ing the identity Of less than % per
cent.
The state wishes the information in
order to notify relatives or friends in
cases where wards die. When no one
claims the bodies, they are turned
over, upon demand, to medical col
leges or county medical societies.
According to Secretary H. Fl. Shirer,
most of the missing relatives either
live in or have moved to the larger
cities of the state.

To Reforest the State.

At it's annual meeting held at Co
lumbus, the Ohio State forestry So
ciety went on record in favor of the
plan advocated by Secretary A. P.
Sandles of the state board of agricul-
ture as a method of reforestation of
lands that have reverted to the state
for non-payment of taxes.
The society declared the state
should buy, for purposes of reforesta-
ton, lands which have lost their
value. Eventually, it was pointed out,
lands now worth only 81 or so an acre
could be made to yield snug income
which could be devoted to the COM
mon schools. Addresses were made
by Professor c. H. Goetz of Columbus,
Professor A. d. Selby of Wooster and
others.
