DEATH CALLS FIFTY
PIONEERS IN 1914
ALLEN WEIR COMPLIES LIST OF
"OLD.TINiERS" WHO PASSED

Counting as "old-timers" only those
who came to the Pacific coast prior to
1860, Allen Weir OF this city, Wash.
ington's first secretary Of state and
authority ON Northwestern historical
data. has compiled list Of more than
SO pioneers of the state whose deaths
have occurred within the last year.
Jacob Furth was the best known
of the number. He came to America
in 1854 at the age of IA and lived in
California and Nevada 25 years be.

Orange Jacobs, born in New York
state in 1927. who died in Seattle
last May, probably was the most
prominent of the pioneer dead of 1914
in public life. Coming to Oregon in
1852, he successfully taught. prac-
ticed law and edited a newspaper.
He was appointed by President Grant
a Judge of the supreme court of the

serving six years on the bench. He
then was elected delegate to congress
for two terms, next was chosen mayor

ended his political carer by coming
to the legislature under statehood.
AS one Of the most prominent Of the

The story of the exploits Of Elijah
Nelson Sarjent, another OF the pio-

CATION BELIEVES IN
DRY FARMING PLAN
LOCAL ORCHARDIST FINDS 1T
MOST SUCCESSFUL ON LOGGED
OFF UPLANDS.

A. s. Cation, q we'll known local
scientific farmer and director Of the
Thurston County Farm Bureau, feels
he has solved the logged-off land
problem for all time and believes he
has q revelation to make to the
people Of Western Washington in the
handling by the dry farming method
Of such soils.
Results he Is getting on his farm
here indicate to the satisfaction Of
both him and his neighbors that he
has, at the very least. travelled a long
way on the right road. Cation now
has an orchard of several thousand
fruit trees growing on the driest of
dry uplands and the yield Of these
trees, which are being cultivated on
q dry farming basis. is incomparably
superior. both in quality and guam
tity, to the returns from trees grow
ing under the old conditions.
DRY farming on Western Wash
ington uplands," declared Cation,
means unvarying success. in that
crops are uniformly large and the
quality of the product 100 per cent
perfect. Western Washington's
logged-off uplands comprise the best
dry farming region in the United
States. In no other part Of the coun-
try is there found such fine hardpan
or concrete base as that ON which the
surface soil here rests. This prevents
the water from percolating away from
the roots Of vegetation, while the dust
mulch blankets the surface and pre-
vents evaporation.
ION the seventy-third day OF the
drought, which was record-breaker
this summer, my ground was as damp
beneath the dust mulch as though 1t
had lust rained. Western Washing
ton with dry farming will prove one
of the richest farming regions and
garden spots in the world"

to say to you that the governor will

when the roll is called on the last
day of the session, I'll be there to

In these words, forcefully spoken,
Governor Lister closed his address
to the $50 Democrats, men and
women, who attended the biennial
banquet rendered to the Democratic
legislators and their wives by Olym.

church Tuesday evening, and reused
them to strong ovation. His speech
followed talks by eight other Demo

which was the largest local Demo
Gratis have ever held. Arrangements

Morrison.
That morning the house had
passed the McArdle tax board bills,

to this action and the organization q

he paid his respects to the Republic

he said: I'VE have in the senate and

whom the Democrats Of the state will
never have to apologize for" and
then plunged into a discussion Of the
Legislative situation:
"In the message delivered at the
opening of this session made num-

Is Majority Serving People?

Is Majority Serving People?
This is legislature controlled by
the Republicans and those actually
in control are few in number. 1t has
been said by some Of these men that
no single measure introduced by a
Democrat will be allowed to pass,
and yet there are Democrats who are
willing and eager to present bills
carrying out the suggestions I made
in my message, suggestions that have
been generally praised. So l want
to ask this question: Whenever a
majority takes such position, has
not the time gone by when that ma
jority is serving the interests of it's
constituency and the people of this
state?
''The Democratic membership in
this legislature is small, but the
Democrats need not for one moment
feel that they are not accomplishing
anything, for never day passes but
what they are delivering message
to the people of this state. and l
want to say to you, that IL the pres
ent condition In the legislature con-
tinues, that message will resound
throughout the state during the next
two years with such force and such
effect that not q single one of the So
called leaders of this session will be
heard from again. And there are
some of those leaders coming from
districts now carrying q larger load
|of representation in the legislature
than they are entitled to and would
receive IL the legislature would obey
the constitution and reapportion the
tate."
The governor then read portions
of an editorial from the Tacoma
Ledger for that morning. which he
styled the "oficial organ Of the Re-
publican majority in the house OF
representatives" and which called
his protestations of non-partisanship

smaller ranch of 10, Is or 20 acres.
These prizes are to be in addi-
tion, of course, to what you sell your
products for" Mr.. Lord said. "The
cannery manager tells me that any
farmer here can net 5000 an acre of
the products that concern uses at
the prices 4 pays, and want to see
the production of those crops stimu-
lated and the quality of them i'm
proved at the same time. And I'm
going to SO to 1t, too. that no one
farmer has a better chance to win
than any other-we're going to ar
range the terms Of the competition
80 everyone has the same chance"
At the same meeting, c. c.
Thomson Of the state school super
intendent's department, told OF the
