SAYS LAMAR IS GOOD
MAN IN EVERY WAY
Aided in Trust-Busting and Was One
of First to Discover Wickedness
Of Taft's Bill.

Washington, July 3,-Henry B.
Martin, secretary Of the National
Antitrust League, told the lobby in.
vestigating committee today that he
and David Lamar, who testified yes
terday, were the authors of the origin
al resolution authorizing the Stanley
steel trust probe, declaring that La
mars draft was passed substantial
ly as drawn"
Martin characterized Lamar as a
public-spirited citizen, and bitter foe
Of the railroad trust. He admitted
that the steel probe was due largely
to his own efforts, asserting that
Chairman Stanley was ignorant of the
fast that Lamar prepared the resolu.
tion.
The suggestion is being made here
today that Samuel Untermyer be EN-.
ployed as special counsel to assist the
house Mulhall probers. They probably
will ask the senate to concur in a $l0,-
600 appropriation to provide funds for
the house probe.
Tells of Trusts Threats.
Martin declined to name the mem
bers of the National Antitrust
League, asserting that the business life
of its members would be threatened
by the trusts if it became known that
they were members Of the league. He
asserted "t the powers would destroy
and blacklist them and cut off bank
credits. Then he detailed instances
where such threats had been fulfilled.
Martin named numerous trusts the
league had exposed, and declared La.
mar was one Of the first discovering
the vicious sections of the Taft Wick.
ersham railroad bill.
Martin flatly refused to disclose
how the leagues finances are admin.
istered or where the money comes
from.
The witness caused a sensation when
he charged that Judge Lovett, chair.
man of the executive board Of the
Union Pacific railroad and Paul era.
vath were engaged last week in "lob.
bying" with Attorney General Nc.
Reynolds. He insisted these officials
had been Convicted under the law,
yet they were granted the privilege of
lobbying.

Fifth Attempt
to Wreck Train
This Time Unknown Miscreants Are
Nearly Successful in Ditching
Engine and Cars.
[uNIrrp rRnss 1nAsnp w1nn.l

Seattle, Wash, July Especial
agents from the division headquarters
here, and a posse Of deputy sheriffs
are trying to locate the wOuld-be train
wreckers who tried to ditch the North
ern pacific passenger train No. 5, at
Wynoca, few miles east of Auburn,
last night by piling angle irons and
switch point on the rails.
The only thing that prevented a
wreck and great loss of life was that
the pilot of the engine lifted the
switch point clear of the track, and
the engine, which was going 40 miles
an hour when it hit the obstruction,
bumped over the angle irons without
leaving the rails.
Engineer Cavanaugh, who was jolt
ed from his seat by the terrific bumps,
brought the locomotive to quick
standstill, and went back to investi-
gate.
This is the fifth time that an at.
tempt has been made to wreck train
at this point. The other efforts were
confined to changing switch lights,
which, other than bringing the trains
to a stop, caused no damage.

on Schedule.
PARADE GREAT SUCCESS
Many Handsomely Decorated Auto

With thousands from points in the
Willamette valley present, the first

The parade was a splendid success,

Considering the threatening appear

attendance was greater than could
reasonably have been expected. There
were many visitors from Portland,
and nearly all the neighboring towns
were represented, while the farms and
orchards in the nearby valley were
apparently abandoned, for their own

Tomorrow Big Day.
There is a long program for late
this afternoon and evening, that will
keep the big crowds busy trying to
keep track Of and enjoy, but tomorrow
will probably be the big day Of the
event, at least in the matter Of at
tendance, on account Of it being the
national holiday In spite Of an inclem-

so far, small, is enough to make any
one who has never seen Salem cher

are certainly fine. The quality cannot
be beaten, but the quantity could.
However, this defect, it is promised,
will be remedied by tomorrow.

INITIATIVE PETITION
FOR AN 0-HOUR LAW
FOR WOMEN IS FILED
Filers Figure That Vote Will
Be in 1913, But Olcott
Thinks Otherwise.
AN AGREEMENT REACHED
Receipt Provides That if It Does Not
Come to Vote in 1918 it Will in
Following Year.

Because the law provision requires
the filing of an initiative petition with
the secretary of state four months be-
fore an election, DR.. Marie Equi, presi-
dent of the Women's Eight Hour
League, and Mrs. j.. r. Oatman, secre-
tary of the same league, were here this
morning to file an initiative petition
for an eight-hour law for working wo-
men.
The petition has been gotten up un-
der the new law, which went into ef-
feet June 3, giving the secretary Of
state the authority to fix form for
any petition, and contains $4,000 names
giving a comfortable margin over the
requirement, which calls for 10,09S
names.
Want 1918 Vote on It.
In seekingto file the petition the la.
dies asked the secretary to give them
a receipt for the petition calling for its
placement on the ballot for the 1913
special election, which was recently de.
clared unconstitutional by Circuit
Judge Galloway, This Secretary Olcott
refused to do on the grounds that he
had 10 authority to take such action.
The filers then asked for receipt with
the provision that in case the petition
could not be placed on the ballot this
year that it be held over until 1914.

quickest and strongest growing vines
we have. It is almost always free
from insects and disease and resists
drought. It makes dense shade and

SOFT SHIELDED EGGS.
By S. b. SHAW.

An overfatty condition Is one cause
for the laying Of soft shelled eggs
Sometim it is caused by the over
slim ulation Of the egg organs brought
about by the overfeeding Of too much
spice, which is apt to cause irritation
Of the egg passage.
Closely confined fowls not sup
piled with a variety Of food are more
liable to lay soft shelled eggs than
those having plenty Of range or sup
t piled with exercise In an artificial way
and fed variety Of grains In well
balanced ration. Oyster shells. grit
and plenty Of green foods will assist
greatly in preventing such conditions
Of the egg organs. n
| II your hens are too fat provide q
diet low In fat producing elements
make the birds work for what they
get. and put one teaspoonful Of sui
plate of magnesia to every pint OF
drinking water twice a week for few
weeks.
Should the hens still persist in lay
ing soft shelled eggs add five drops OF
fluid extract Of ergot to each quart OF
drinking water every other day for q
period Of one week. Do not have any
other water around while giving them
the mixture. otherwise the fowls will
not touch 1t.

THE HAY TEDDER.

The hay tedder has wrought great
improvement In the quality of hay
from fields that produce large yields.
It's use shortens the curing period and
enables us to save many tons from
the detrimental effects of sun and rain.
Clover and alfalfa should not be ted
ded but once and then thrown into
small winrows with the side-delivery
rake and rolled over number OF
times and then cooked. This exposes
the hay to the sun and air without a
loss of leaves.
If we drive slow and carefully roll
the winrow the hay IL in excellent con-
dition to put in cocks the same day.
The hay loader Is especially valuable
on farms where timothy and mixed
hay is raised. In heavy grass. we'll
dried, 1t Is not necessary to use rake,
but to do good, clean work I believe
that it pays to use a side-delivery rake
to get the hay into winrows.
This also saves much driving in
loading and reduces the wear and tear
on the loader to a minimum. Driving
over the rough fields Is more severe
strain upon the loader than when the
hay is raked into winrows. On farms
where clover and alfalfa are the chief
hay crops I would not advise the pur-
chase Of a loader, for it would be OF
little practical use harvesting crops
that must be cured in the cock. before
being hauled to the NOW.

In hogs fed exclusively on corn the
animal becomes very fat and chubby
and does not develop properly; the
bones are brittle and easily broken.
Sixty-five hogs were used In this
experiment and they were divided into
lots Of five EACH Twelve different
rations were used with corn alone In
two of them and corn supplemented
with some other feed in the others.
The hogs fed on corn and linseed
oilmeal and those fed on tankage
gained the most; those receiving corn

HOURS FOR FARM LABOR.

~ The question Of hours a man n TO
work on the farm Is coming to tho
front stronger than ever this season.
Down in Indiana and in some Of the
eastern states as we'll. so I am told by
q man who writes from central New
YORK, workmen are insisting that ten
hours Is q days work and some Of
them are actually asking overtime II
they have to work longer! Well, that
Is new one tome. While I am not
IN FAVOR OF exc essively long hours can't
see how farmer is going to get his
rush planting and harvesting done by
working only ten hours a day. That
would be from to 9. with an hour
for dinner. II men were working by
the hour, and having their pay stop
at any time during the day when work
was slack the ten hour rule might
work: but we cannot work that way
on the farm and 1t seems to me that It
must be case Of hustle long hours
when necessity drives and short hours
when work is light. In the big cities
some union men. such as teamsters
and milk wagon drivers, work from ~
to Is hours every day In the week and
Sundays, too, with no overtime. But
then there are some unions which per-
NIT their men to work only nine hours
time-and there you are. But I do
not believe the attempt to unionize
farm labor will be successful until
present conditions are very much
changed.-A Hired Man.
