PREMATURE BLAST FATAL.
Adolph Policy Is Instantly KILLED
Near Salem.

Adolph Policy, So years old, was
killed Tuesday near South Liberty by
the premature explosion of dynamite.
He was blasting holes for fruit trees.
His right hand was dismembered and
his skull was crushed. Mr.. Policy had
bored holes in which to insert the dy-
Mantle sticks when there was ter
rife explosion, and his 17-year-old
son, who was near, was thrown from
his feet. The cause of the explos-
iorf is not known, but it is believed a
fuse became ignited. Mr.. Policy liv-
ed in Salem, where he owned a small
acreage. He is survived by his widow
and four children, the children rang
ing in ages from to II years. His

To further make known the Oregon
loganberry and prune and its lus-
ciousness, $4,000 combination prune-
loganberry recipe booklets will soon
be issued by the Salem Fruit union.
That the Willamette valley prune and
loganberry is gaining in favor can be
judged from the enormous gain in
popularity it is enjoying in other
states. The booklet will be put in the
hands of retailers and wholesalers,
wherever the Oregon crop is sold and
will especially aid the three represen-
tatives of the Fruit union who are
travelling in Wyoming, Colorado and
boosting for the fine Oregon
fruit and berry.

Hopgrowers To Get Help,

Decision has been reached by the
Oregon Hop Growers association to
hold a stockholders meeting in Dali
las, March 20, and make plans for
financing growers needing assistance.
At this meeting a board of directors
will be elected, and bylaws adopted.
Six hundred growers have already
signed up, it is said, and this repre-
sents more than 20 per cent of the
hop acreage of the state. Present
plans call for a division of the state
into about 35 districts, as it is be-
lieved that more effective work can
be done in this way.

Symphony Orchestra Sunday.

The Symphony orchestra of Port
land will give a concert in Salem
next Sunday afternoon, and a large
number of Dallas music-lovers will
attend. There is an effort being made
to get special train for this occas-
ion, to leave here soon after l 'clock,
returning after the entertainment,
but in case this is not successful the
party will go at 10 o'clock in the
forenoon and return in the evening.
The principal feature at the con-
cert will be Hadyn's Symphony No.
. in ID Major Hadyn was the pio-
neer in expressing purely secular
feeling in music and was the creator
of the modern orchestra. The growth
of the art of music was wrought,
primarily, within the church. Hadyn
was the first composer to add true po-
etic feeling and humor to the air of
reverence and stateliness which per-
vaded the religious music. The
strings in his music attest the soft
hum of the woods and meadows in
joyous, exultant praise of nature.
Haydn is eminent in music as a hu-
morist. In this symphony the music
is simple, joyous, in fact almost hi
larious. Hadyn's chief purpose was

ments and other special guests, in
cluding ex-President Roosevelt and
Taft. Provision also was to be made
for a banquet and other entertain
ments on the isthmLs, for gold med
ais, souvenirs and for the printing
of special invitations.
1t is intimated that the president
himself will not go to the formal
opening, which is planned for July,
but it Is possible that he may change
his present plans. The navy depart
ment has an appropriation for send
ing the fleet to the canal and it is said
that some kind of exercises probably
will be held.

ty Principals club will be held at the
Gail hotel in this city next Saturday

on the Possibilities of the Communi-
ty." Several other matters will come
up before the CLUB, and these should
be discussed and Asttled at this time.

The installation of the incandeseent
street lighting system is well under
way, and Manager Martin expects to
have the new service in operation
within a short time. All the poles
are in position, and much of the wir-

be abandoned as the result of the ae-

RAISE YOUR OWN CALVES.
o. A. G. Speaker Tells Dairymen How
to Succeed in Work.

''There is only one practical way
for the dairyman to increase the herd
and that is to raise his own calves, f"
said Professor C. H. Eckles, professor
of dairy husbandry, University Sf
Missouri, when speaking before the
dairymen's convention during the
farmers week at the Oregon Agricul-
.tural college. "You can't buy good
stock. Heifers should be raised with
good deal of care and attention.
You say it costs too much. But | be-
lieve that, under any ordinary condi-
tions, you can not afford not to do it.
"They say about one COW out of
every three is not going to be a prof
table animal, but the success of the
dairy farm depends TO no slight ex-
tent upon the careful rearing of the
calves. The careful dairyman sees in
every heifer calf the possibility of a
COW that will not only replace a dis
carded member of his herd, but help
to raise the average production. By
proper care in the choice of the sire
and by careful attention to the rear
ing of the calves, the dairyman who
is compelled to start with a herd of
ordinary quality may, within a few
years raise the average of production
of his herd to a market extent. On
the other hand, carelessness in breed
ing and in calf raising is bound to re-
suit disastrously to herd, or at least
to keep it at a standstill, as far as i'm
provement IS concerned"

DAIRY and FOOD LAW
PLEASES MICKLE BECAUSE 1T
AFFORDS MORE POWER. -
Belief Expressed That Unhealthy
Commodities Can Now Be Driv-
en- Out of Market.

j. D. Mickle, state dairy and food
commissioner, is well pleased with the
new dairy and food law enacted by
the last legislature. "The old law
was a joke" he said to a Portland
newspaper. "The new law gives the
dairy and food commissioner some
thing to work with in eliminating un-
sanitary conditions in connection with
dairy and food products, and in see
ing that impure foodstuffs are not Of
fered for sale.''
The new law definitely defines STAN
dards of purity for many kinds of
food products and in addition gives
the dairy and food commissioner au-
thority to prescribe certain rules and
regulations, and to adopt standards
of quality, purity and strength of ar
ticles of food and drink. Commits
sioner Mickle said the rules and regu-
lations provided by the federal au-
thorities will probably be adopted, so
the federal and state laws may oper-
ate in harmony.
Under the old law Mr.. Mickle
pointed out that he has no authority
to arrest person for violating the
regulations for sanitary conditions
because the law prescribed no stan
dard. This condition will no longer
prevail when the new law goes into
effect. "The new law is in line with
the position taken by the most ad-
vanced states," declared Mr.. Mickle.
at will mean much to the people of
this state.'
1t is provided that an article of
food shall be deemed to be adulter-
ated within the meaning of the act if
any substance has been mixed with it
so as to lower or depreciate, or injur-
iously affect its quality, strength or
purity; if any inferior substance has
been substituted wholly or in part for
it if it is an imitation or sold under
the name of another article if it con-
sists wholly or in part of the filthy,
or decomposed animal of
substance, whether manu-
factured or not, or in the case of milk,
if it is the product of a diseased ami
NAL; if it is colored, coated, polished
Or powdered, whereby a damaged or
inferior article is sold for an article
Of greater value than it really is; if
it contains any added substance that
IS injurious to the health.
Butter will be considered to be
adulterated if it contains more than
l6 per cent water, or less than 80 per
cent milk fat. Milk will come under
he ban if it has less than 80 per cent
)utter fat, or more than S8 per cent
water, or less than S.5 per cent solids
'ther than butterfat, or milk drawn
rom cows for 15 uays next before
md five days after partruition or
rom cows fed on unwholesome foods.
Cream will be considered to be adul-
Grated if it contains less than Is per
ent butter fat, while ice cream must
ot contain less than II per cent but
er fat.
When the new law goes into effect
fruit jelly and butter must

safely assume that
the armies now contending number ten
millions. The Scriptures seem to de-
clare that this terrible war will bring
no great victory to any Of the con-
testants, but that eventually all the
nations thus engaged will be terribly
weakened, not only in loss Of able
manhood, but also financially.
1t is sad reflection upon our boast
ed civilization that such a war should
be considered the only way by which
the great nations could come to an
agreement on matters Of mutual inter-
est respecting an earth which God has
given to the children Of men as their
common heritage. When we reflect
that the warning nations claim to be
Christian. the thought Is all the more
horrible. Our only comfort Is In the
thought that the poor deluded people
do not understand the meaning Of the
term Christian. and that the great mass
Of them never were Christians. True
Christians no doubt are to be found in
all the armies Of the countries where
consumption is law. and are endeavor-
ing to show forth the Lords praises,
even under such terrible conditions.
Surely mankind are awakening to q
realization Of the fact that the boosted
four hundred million Christians are for
the most part as far from God and
from Christian ideals as are the twelve
hundred million heathens! Their awak-
ening should help them to realize what
the true Church Is. and that her mis-
sion Is not to convert the world. but to
