DEMONSTRATION
!. TRAIN DRAWS.
BIG CROWD VIEW THE EXHIBIT
The Lectures Were Practical and the
Different Subjects Handled were
Given in an Able Manner.

/ The demonstration train arrived in
Dallas on schedule time, and big
crowd was at the depot to see that
sanitary pig pen' and the 0. A. C.
dairy on wheels.
1t was estimated that over five
hundred people visited the train and
Listened to some of the instructions.
Even the railroad officials visiting
our city were forced by the crowd to
give talks, but they didn't seem to
know very much about how to care
for the cow and hog.
There has never been a time when
the development of these industries
were Of more interest to the people
Of Oregon. Live hogs are commanding
the highest price in history, while
there is general shortage of meat
animals all along the line. Butter
fat is selling at an average of 33
cents per pound, but notwithstanding
that fact, Oregon is large importer
of butter.
DR.. Withycombe, who is at present
one of the persons mentioned fire.
quently as a candidate for governor,
was here as one of the lecturers and
many of the old residents of Dallas
know him well. 1t is needless to say
that in his talk he never mentioned
politics and kept his remarke within
the subject handed.
The DR.. is very pleasant gentle
man to meet and there is no doubt
but that he is well versed on all farm
subjects. He called the hogs and
cows the mortgage lifters and added
that they would if properly handled
bring a broader smile to the already
jolly face of the prosperous farmer
who had no mortgage.
Professors Hetzel, Graves, Potter
and Barr gave lectures on the differ
ent points of hog and dairy business.
They gave the farmer pointers on how
to pick out a good mixer as well as
how to grow a good and saleable
porker.
The stock on exhibit was not of the
fancy kind but just ordinary stock.
The good and bad points were
shown by those in charge of the train
in a manner which could easily be un-
derstood.
The Southern Pacific Railway was
on this train in Dallas
by L. R. Fields, General Superinten-
dent, accompanied by his secretary,
A. G. Reschke; H. A. Hinshaw, Gen
sral Freight Agent, and Mr.. Dunn, his
Assistant.
The S. P. in carrying this train
through the valley is helping the
farmer by bringing this kind of an
Illustrated lecture where he can bel
profited. /
Professor Hetzel gave away many
sards addressed to himself at Cor-l

Road Law up to Circuit Judge.

Attorneys Tooze and Upjohn argued
a demurrer before the court Monday
on an appeal taken from the County
Court in the case of State VS.. w. II.
Able, who was charged with contempt
of court in violating certain road laws
relating to loads of certain weight
being taken over roads ordered closed
by the County Court against certain
traffic. It has been admitted that
he used the roads against said order
but the contention is that the law is
unconstitutional.
The Judge took the case under ad-
visement and will hand down his de-
cision some time during this term, but
il is understood that the case will 60
to the Supreme Court regardless of
what the opinion of this court may be.

agement of Fred Collins and Claire

The boys say that the place will be
run in a way that the people of the
town can feel that they can go and
enjoy themselves and know that they
will receive courteous treatment.
The use of intoxieants or tobacco
will be prohibited and rowdism will not
be tolerated.

Polk County First.

The Oregonian has the following
to say about Polk County.
A Boys and Girls Industrial Club
was fully organized in Pouk County
during the latter part Of December
of last year. 1t is the first of the
kind in the state.
Under the plan being worked out by
Superintendent Churchill, Polk Coun-
ty is evidently taking the lead in this
matter, as it has been organizing clubs
since December 10. Each club has Of
ficers, names and plans formed, ac-
cording to the plan outlined by Mr..
ChurchilL
Clubs have been organized in Polk
County BY County Superintendent H.
c. Seymour and Supervisor L. v.
Macken as follows: Oakdale, Pio-
neer, Broadmead, McTimmons Valley,
Smithfeld, Buell., Harmony Butler,
Valley Junction, Gooseneck, Red
Prairie, Enterprise, Orchards, Suver,
Upper Salt Creek, Fairview, Ward,
Concord, zena, Lincoln, Eola, Parker,
Mountainview, Spring Val

Salem, Montgomery, Pedee, Fir
Grove, Cherry Grove, Maple Grove,
and many more districts will be or
ganized within the next few days,
and within two or three weeks every
district in the county will have its
organization.
1T is verr probable that all of the
ten projects as outlined by Superin-
tendent Churchill will be worked out
in this county. The school children
Of Polk County are imbued with the
spirit of maintaining this county's
reputation as the "blue ribbon county
