Bayocean To Have Water-grade
Highway From City of Ti|Iamool

Tillamook -- The matter of the con-
struction of the Bayocean road was
amicably decided upon here at meet
ing of the county court and represent
atives of realty company. 1t was
agreed that the county court expend
$40, $50 which is now available on the
road and in addition to this the Bay
ocean people are to build two miles
and half of the road. About four
miles and half remain to complete
the road, which will be on the south
side of Tillamook Bay and on water
grade from Tillamook City. 1t will
have deep water for vessels by the side
of it nearly the entire distance.
The county court will call for bids
for work on this end of the road and
the Bayocean people will take hold of
the other end, commencing work at
once with their dredge. 1t will be
open for travel probably early next
year. The progress of Bayocean has
been kept back for years for want of
a road, but now that this is assured a
large number of lot owners are ex-
pected to erect substantial cottages.
Apart from this the Bayocean people
will expend $500, 900 in improvements.
Last year a large natatorium was
erected costing $4,000.

Many Squaters Rush to Take Up
Government Land in Alaskan Port

Seward, Alaska - Rumors that the
Alaska Engineering commission had
decided to throw open to settlement
the ~607aeres ntargJpellnttSa hans ar,
purchase of the Alaska Northern rail-
road caused a stampede of squatters
who have occupied almost all of the
tract.
Many prominent business men and
several women are among the squat
ters, who have armed themselves with
rifles to prevent claim jumping. There
have been several minor quarrels, but
as yet no one has been hurt.
United States District Judge Fred
M. Brown had planned to obtain use
of this tract as temporary camp for
the hundreds of men who are hurrying
to Seward from all parts of Alaska and
from the United States as result of
the announcement that Seward would
be the tidewat:cr terminus of the gov
ernment railroad to Fairbanks.
Despite snow storm, which blank
eted Seward, the stampede continued
and squatters were busy setting up
tents and clearing their lots.

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

Washington, D. C.-Further warn
ing against a rush to Alaska, on ac-
count of the early construction of the
Seward Fairbanks railroad, is con-
tained 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 a 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
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 a lot of people. It
would be 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 poor man
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?D

Dairying Sure Road to
Wealth, Declares EXPERT

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis -- That the history Of dairyinf
has proven 1t TO be sure road K
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 alec
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,
a country declared by the speakers TO
have had an exhausted soil and an ex-
hausted people, has become through
one of the wealthiest and

$1,000 Acres In Thief
Valley May Be Opened

Baker - Steps have been taker
which, If carried through, will compe
the Powder Land & Irrigation company
to give up its proposed plan of carry
ing the Thief Valley project, in the
Powder Valley northeast of Baker, to
completion. 1t will mean that If sue
cessful the Ga, 900 acres now tied up
by the company will be thrown open
by the proceedings to entry and there
is possibility that if the Powder Val
ley company's contract is cancelled a
cooperative irrigation district will
be organized.
Acting upon the request of several
families in the Lower Powder and
North Powder districts and in Baker,
Ex-Governor West and Claude C. Nc
Culloch, attorneys of Portland, have
begun the preliminary work toward
drafting a petition to the State Desert
Land board .ys Ct sSsaby Salem 10 JGapsseel the

sented there will be at least so sub

ready within 60 days.

tries. The Danes are now a remark
ably prosperous people and have reno
waited their soils 30 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 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
'onsin in exchange for dairy sires de-
'eloped through scientific breeding by
progressive dairymen.

for cancellation are that Carey act
projects have proved unsuccessful, tina,
the Powder Valley company has moi
done any work on the land, that it has
shown itself unable to finance the
project, and these lands having been
idle and of no use to anyone for six
years, should be thrown open to those
who seek farming land.
According to Mr.. McCulloch, the
assertion that Carey act porjects have
not proved success is based on in
vestigation in all parts of the United
States and he says that Secretary of
the Interior Lane has committed him
self as being against the Carey act
idea and is for the cooperative dis
trict plan Mr.. McCulloch declares that
at the last irrigation congress at Dem
yer, which was attended by Mr.. West
and other governors, it was shown
that there are s12, 900 of Carey

that of the Central Oregon Irrigation
in Crook county, and he said
this has not been financial success.

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.
"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

who said that he had been requested
by the United States Biological survey
to furnish the names of men in this

JAPAN UNJUSTlY SUSPECTED BY
AMERICANS, DELEGATES DECLARE

New York-At dinner here Tues
day welcoming them home from thei
recent mission to Japan as represent
atives OF the Federal Council of the
Churches Of Christ in America, Dr.
Smaller Mathews, dean of the Univer.
sity Of Chicago, and DR.. Sidney L.
Gulick expressed the necessity in this
country of better understanding of
the Japanese in order to allay what
they describe as the unjust suspicious
entertained for the motives of Japan.
Both speakers brought messages of
peace and friendship for the United
States from Count Okuma, the Japan
ese prime minister, and other Japanese
statesmen.
The dinner was attended by men,
bers of the council, of the Japan So
ciety, of the New York Peace society
and the Church Peace union.
The present situation as regards
China furnishes supreme opportunity
for the United States and Japan to
show the meaning not only of their
friendship for each other, but for
China as well, declared DR.. Mathews.
1t was difficult at present, he said, to
nold an unqualified conviction that
Japan's plans toward China were mag
lanimous in the interests of China,
md herein ''the United States and
Japan have an opportunity to demon
'trate the power of diplomacy based on
he giving of Justice"

nands made on China by Japan, said
hat if Japan's only purpose was to
'uild up an Asiatic Monroe Doctrine
