Dogs Shot on Sight in Baker
to Prevent Epidemic Of Rabies

Baker-So serious has become the
rabies epidemic both in the city and in
the country that every effort is being
made to stamp out the animals that
might be affected. Chief of Police
Jackson has armed all policemen with
shotguns and revolvers and has given
orders that all dogs be shot on sight
unless muzzled.
1--WE haven't time to demonstrate
personally with owners of dogs" he
said to his men. "There is too much
danger from hydrophobia to take any
chance and people who do not live up
to the law will lose their pets"
Hunters and trappers will be en-
ployed to wage war on the coyotes in
the Minam National forest, according
to Ephriam Barnes, forest supervisor,
who said that he had been requested
by the United States Biological survey
to furnish the names of men in this
section most experienced in work Of
this kind.

Recess heightened and Farmers
Week Will Be First in January

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor.
Wallis = Of great interest to farmers
and homeseekers as well as to regular
college students is the announcement
that the next term of Farmers anC
Conference Week will be held at the
college during the first week of Janu-
ary. Since the instructors time as
well as housing accommodations are
needed by the thousands of people TAX
ing the work of the week, it is impos-
sible to conduct the exercises of the
week while the regular degree work is
in progress. Hence the Christmas re-
cess has been heightened to January
10, permitting the regular students to
pass their vacation at home.
Another important change in the cal
endar is the arrangement whereby
commencement will be held prior to
final examinations of the second semes-
ter for the three lower classes. This
change will give the undergraduates
an opportunity to attend commence
ment exercises and at the same time
to leave for home as soon as their last
examination has been given. 1t has
also been announced that vocational
students will have commencement
recognition and will be given diplomas
upon completing their course.

Daylight Is Let Through Last
Tunnel On New Coos Bay Line

Eugene =" Daylight" was broken
last week in tunnel No. Z, the longest
bore on the Willamette Pacific. For
18 months compressed air drills have
been bornig into both sides of this
4200-foot tunnel that pierces the di-
vide between the Umpqua and Coos
Bay valleys. For two weeks the
sounds of the drills could be heard
from both sides and finally shot
opened the tunnel.
This was the last tunnel on the line
to be pierced. There are eight in all,
the first being at Mott, 80 miles west
of Eugene, and the last in the lake
region north of Coos Bay. The last
two tunnels are not completed, how
ever, as small bore proceeds few
feet ahead of the main body of the
tunnel.
A. 0. Peterson, sub-contractor for
Hauser & Hauser, arrived in Eugene,
telling of the tunnel progress, and of
the speed being made in the compile
tion of the trestle work along the
lakes. c. R. Broughton, bridge en-
gineer, accompanied him from Acme,
where large force of men has estab-
lished camps for the erection of the
Siuslaw drawbridge.

laborers Warned To Avoid Rush to
Alaska, as Supply is Quite Adequate

Washington, D. C.-Further warn
ing against rush to Alaska, on ac-
count of the early construction of the
rd-Fairbanks railroad, is con-
tanned in letter addressed to Senator
Jones by Chairman Edes, in which the
chairman says:
81 learn from the papers that there
is likely to be quite stampede Of
laboring men to Alaska, seeking work
on the new government railroad. We
feel that this should be prevented as
much as possible. Our operations
there this summer will only require a
few hundred men, and we are informed
that there is quite supply there al
ready.
"The lure of new country and the
prospect of somewhat higher wages
always attracts lot Of people. II
would be a great detriment to Alaska
and would also damage our prospects
of getting labor in the future If lot
of men should go there this year and,
not finding work, should be stranded
without means to get away. Not find
ing work on the railroad a poor mar
would hardly know which way to turn.
"Can you kindly use your influence,
through your commercial bodies and
otherwise, to prevent this condition Of
affairs?"

tries. The Danes are now a remark
ably prosperous people and have reno
waited their soils so that they are leav-
ing valuable heritage to their pos
terity.
Examples of success are being re-
peated in our own country. In the
states Of Wisconsin, Minnesota and
those further East, they have re-
deemed their soils from exhaustion
through dairying. While doing this
they have made substantial money
profits, established a large trade in
dairy products, and perhaps best of all,
have built up large dairy herds of won
derful producing ability.
From the fine, high producing dairy
cattle from these herds many Western
dairymen are now going to get founda-
tion stock for the improvement Of
their own herds. A lot Of money from
the West is streaming into the states
of of Minnesota, New York and Wis
consin in exchange for dairy sires de.
veloped through scientific breeding by
progressive dairymen.

Dairying Sure Road to
Wealth, Declares Expert

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
wallis - That the history of dairying
has proven it to be sure road to
wealth, is the assertion of dairy ex-
perts of Oregon, Washington and
other states, who occasionally address
students and dairymen at the Oregon
Agricultural college. As means of
wealth, dairying is said to furnish
about the most steady and sure income
of any farm product, and it also
affords renewal of soil fertility. In
all these features dairying particularly
lends itself to profit because profit
must be secured from those. resources
that are sure and steady.
The history of dairying in countries
other than the United States affords
evidence of the reliable character of
dairying as profit maker. Denmark,
country declaredIby the speakers to
have had an exhausted soil and an ex-
hausted people, has become through
dairying one of the wealthiest and
most productive of all foreign coun-

Oregon Hens Make Fine
Record at Panama Fair

The Leghorns likewise took second
place in the term race to date, with a
record of $50 eggs, first place going to
the Canada flock of G. D. Adams, with
GOT eggs. The fourth place has been
taken by the 0. A. G. Barred Rocks
and the fifth place by the crosses, the
number of eggs laid by each pen being
SGT and 524 respectively. Second,
third and fourth places are now held
in the individual term record by an O.
A. G. cross with 83 eggs, another 0.
A. G. cross with so eggs, and an 0. A.
c. Leghorn with 81 eggs.
The official report from which these
figures were taken says that no other
exhibit on the ground attracts more
attention from the thousands of daily
visitors than this egg-laying contest
with its fine focks from different parts
of the world.

ROOSEVELT ON STAND ADMITS
OFTEN CONSULTING BOSS PLAH

Syracuse, N. Theodore Roose-
welt admitted under cross-examination
Tuesday in the suit for alleged libel
which William Barnes has brought
against him, that while governor he
had freely consulted the ''boss" of the
Republican party in New York state
in reference to the appointment of off
cials in the state government and var
ious Legislative and political matters.
The "boss" named was Thomas C.
Platt, who at that time represented
New York in the United States SEN
ate. The ex-president said he took
the advice of the senator in many mat
ters, among them appointing a Dem
ocrat to the office of tax commissioner
to "please Grady" whom the Colonel
described as a lieutenant boss" of
Richard Croker, then leader of Tam
many Hall.
The testimony resulted from ques-
tions asked after letters of series
that passed between Colonel Roosevelt
and Senator Platt had been read to the
jury. In these letters, both writer's
discussed all manner !, of political and
Legislative affairs. In one, Colonel
Roosevelt asked the senator's advice
about making speeches..
In another, Senator Platt told the
Colonel he had received copy of a bill
introduced by Grady, in which the sem
ator said he considered it inadvisable
to give Tammany from $4,000, 900 to
$12, 900, 900 on an appropriation to ex-
pend upon the water front Of New
York, as "it would simply be putting
an unnecessary club in the hands Of
those people with which to knock our
brains out.'
With another letter, the colonel sent
the senator proof of his message to
the legislature, which dealt with,
among other things, public utilities,
the franchise tax, the trusts, indus
trial conditions and labor. The part
dealing with the trusts, the colonel
wrote, chad been submitted to several
experts, including Elihu Root, Presi-
dent Hadley, Professor jerks, of Cor
nell, and James A. Dill, who was
described in the letter as "a big cor
poration lawyer. F"

Commander Gives Notice Of Intent
to Intern Cruiser Kfonpdn1 Wilhelm

Washington, D. C.-Announcement
from Newport News late Tuesday that
the commander of the big German sea
raider Kronprinz Wilhelm had given
notice he would intern for the war
without waiting expiration of the
time allowed her by the United States
government to make his ship sea-
worthy, was received with surprise
and relief by government officials.
The raiders action relieves the
Navy department of the necessity of
keeping watch over the Wilhelm and
an eye on the Gordon of allied ships off
the Virginia capes to assure the main
tenance Of American neutrality during
the time the cruiser had been allowed
to make repairs. 1t is understood that
several days of that period still re-
mained.
The Navy department had deter
mined to permit the Wilhelm to take
on 4500 tons of coal, and on the heels
of reports from Newport News that
the cruiser had begun to coal, came
Lieutenant Captain Thierfelder's un-
expected announcement to the collector
of the port. The German commanders
communication was laconic and gave
no reason for the internment as had
the letter presented by Captain
Thierichens when he interned the
Prinz Eitel Friedrich, the first of the
raiders to seek haven in Hampton
Roads.
1t was suggested here that Captain
Thierfelder's announcement was made
after he had received instructions
from the German government through
the embassy here not to attempt a
dash through the line Of hostile war
ships off the capes.

Park Along Road Planned.

Hood River Citizens of the county,
cooperating with the Commercial club,
have begun campaign to secure ade-
quate strips Of land along the Neal
Creek road leading from the Lower to
the Upper Hood River valley and thus
prevent the land along the route from
being denuded OF its growth of large
fir trees. But few of the highways in
the lower valley are lined with forest
trees, and it is proposed to purchase
outright this land and make park of
the area adjoining the highway. The
land is not valuable for agriculture.

past month in egg-laying at the Pana-
ma-Pacific Exposition has placed the
O. A. c. flocks very close to the lead
in both these divisions for the entire
time of the contest. The three flocks
entered by the college represent the
White Leghorns, Barred Rocks and a
pen Of cross-reds, ten in each pen.
The Leghorns took first place for
the month ending April 15 with rec
ord of 237 eggs, while the Barred
Rocks took second place with 225
eggs. The best individual showing
was made by an O. A. c. cross-bred
