The Forest Service plans to plant
trees this spring upon a thousand acres

| Tillamook county, Oregon, A crew Of
fifty men will be employed
A plant has been built at Auburn

Dothan, March 15.--(Special.) )-The Houston County Diversified Farming as- sociation was organized at a meeting held here Saturday. J. R. Young was elected president, J. s. Lisenby secretary, and a vice president, or beat chairman, for every beat in the county. The object of the association will be to encourage and direct raising of diversified farm crops in this county and to market these crops after they have been raised. An execu- tive committee was appointed to raise funds for the purpose of employing two experts who will devote their entire time in cooperation with the government farm demonstration agent, to directing crops than cotton Tho organization is an auxiliary of the Dothan Chamber of Commerce.
 The meeting was largely attended. A. D. Whitehead, district farm 6emonstra tion agent, and others made addresses. J. B. Dell of this city has been granted franchise for an electric light plant by the town council of Panama City, Fla. It is said that work of building the plant and putting in complete lighting sys- tenn will be started at an early date. Sheriff John A. May has equipped sev- eral of his deputies with motorcycles in order that they may more effectively run down automobiles engaged in bringing whisky into Houston county for blind tger' operators. A relentless war on blind tigers is being waged by the sherin. automobiles having been used by his force in the past in chasing blockade runners

was under discussion in Congress. It
 seems to be an opinion generally held that the first cause of this deplorable do- nestle condition is to be found in the relation of the railroads to the public. When so high an authority as Senator Underwood feels justified in speaking upon the railroad situation as he did, then the leaders in material affairs believe that they, too, are justified in attributing no small part of the stagnation in our business life to the endorsements that the railroad companies of the United States have met with. It is observed that, without dissent. the leaders, when speaking of the railroad situation, say that railroad management was in part responsible for the atti-ude of the public
 toward the railroads.
 They are, however, convinced that the public went too far, both in state legisla- ton and in the relation of the govern ment at Washington toward the railroads It was this legislation which began to impair the confidence of capital and caused reduced earnings, in some cases the passing of dividends. For example, some of the ablest leaders of the day, in speaking this morning with frankness which they did not permit themselves to use last summer called attention to the condition of one of the great railway sys- tems of the United States. They admitted | that the management of this great prop | erty had been at least unwise; that over | weening ambition to dominate an entire | section of the union did demoralize this railroad property, but they are of one opinion respecting that mismanagement. | It was never so dangerous as seriously | to affect the earning power of this rail- road company. But legisIation enacted I by three or four states and investiga- | ton and proceedings conducted under the l no ma nf 1n Unrrf ont TO af1iT
 alized the entire system until at last div | idends upon which many thousands were | dependent, and upon which some of the
 large institutions relied, were cut off
 | What happened to this railroad system has happened to others at least in less degree.

 mind when he addressed the members of | the Sphinx club, so that it is said that if

 business to the relation of the public to | the railroads as that has been estab-
 lished in the last five or six years.
