The first course for farmers and
stockraisers ever held by the Oregon
Agricultural College away from Cor

wagon to attend, and great good re-
suited from this missionary" work by

Dethman Recalls Record Early Spring

The present early spring weather,
that has caused local citizens to lose
faith in the prophecy of the grounding,
has caused G. Dethman to recall the
spring OF 1892, when the warm sun
shine broke from a clouded sky follow
ing the mild winter and shone without
the least touch of a cold snap until
autumn. "On the sixth day of March
of that year" says Mr.. Dethman, "the
fruit trees blossomed. We all feared
that the jig was up with US that year
and those prone to be pessimistic
prophesied that every apple, peach and
pear would be killed by belated frosts.
| | remember very well looking at the
pink blossoms of the peach trees dur
ing the warm March days. Because of
it being the anniversary of the birth of
my son also causes me to remember it
each year"

AUTOMOBILES

Sunday was automobile day. Scores
Of motorists took their machines from
the garages and sought the open air on
the country roads. which had been
dried out last week by the unusual
wsrm wind blowing from the east.
The country roads were lined with ma
chimes Sunday. DR.. Kanaga says he
thinks that some of the automobiles
were in poor trim after the winters
rest. ION one road, where could see
the whole number at once, saw five
of our good citizens, with their fami-
lies grouped around, enjoying little in
cidents of the first spin. Five cars
were rolled off to one side of the road
and five overall clad owners were pok-
ing away at the 'insides' of their ma
Chimes
When the tanks of as many motor
cars as are in the Hood River valley
have to be filled in one day, or even u
portion of them, it takes no small
quantity of gasoline, and Sunday a
number were deprived of the pleasure
of an outing because they were not
able to obtain "gas, according IA
Robert Carter, of the Columbia Ma.
chine & Auto Co. A good supply was
in the storage tank, but the retilling
soon depleted it,

TRACTION WAR IS
NOW AvERTED
c., III. & E. Is Given Fifty
Year Franchise by the
Town Board.

There is a clear road ahead in the
Gary-Hobart traction muddle. The
threatened war between the Gary and
Tnterurban and the Gary. Hobart and
Eastern Traction company and the
possible loss TO investors in the lat
ter corporation have been averted.
Within a short time Hobart will have
a resumption of traction service with
Gary, which means connections with
all local points touched by interurbans
entering Gary.
The Hobart town board last night
granted to the c., H. and E. a fifty
year franchise grant from the center
of the town to the eastern limits.
G.. & i. To Operate Line.
In consideration of this the traction
line must have its Gary-Hobart divi-
sion (already built and once operated)
In operation within three months
time. A deal will be made whereby the
G. and l. will operate the line for the
Hobart promoters.
Thus the Hobart extension will prac-
tically become a part of the air line
system. Today Hobart business men
will go to Chicago to complete nego-
tiations for a $4,000 loan on their
company, which will put it in good
shape.

The sum of 1915. held by the treas
urer of the Indiana Steel company at
Gary, was saved from loan sharks by
a decision given yesterday by NUM-
cipal Judge Prindfville in Chicago.
Oscar McNeilly. an engineer of 81
years. is the man who earned the
money, but for months he has been
barred from the cashiers window by
the interference OF the Monarch Dis
count company. which does business at
lis North La Sale street. In the mean
time Mrs. McNeilly had died, and lack
of income forced the father to take
his daughter from school.
The release of McNeillys. wages is
due to the efforts of Daniel p. Trude.
secretary of The Tribune anti-loan
shark bureau. who was assisted IN the
defense by o. l.. Wildermuth. city judge
of Gary. Ind.
In December, 1911. McNeilly borrow

fight to put through this law Fleming
had to combat the same influences that
sought to defeat his ideas of a few
years before.
1t is matter of history. also. that
the saloons controlled by Senator
Fleming at Fort Wayne. Gary and
other places are about the best con-
Quoted of any in the state. Fleming
led in the fight to clean up the saloon
business In Fort Wayne. And an at
torney for the anti-saloon league told
the legislature last winter that the
Fleming saloons in Gary obeyed the
law and were conducted In a lawful
manner. This record is worth some
thing to Fleming
In politics, too. Fleming has had a
fight all along the line. He has al
ways been one of the best organizers
and best politicians in the state His
tire1ess energy has helped him to win
many a fight. He never quits till the
! fight Is over.
Several years ago he wanted to be
elected democratic state chairman and
he would have won ii had II not been

This caused a GOODNESS between the

but the work has not really been start

unquestionably be one CT the most use
full in that part of the city. Sever

the reading rooms there on Tuesday
