L. WELKER & CO.'S Farra Block, Corvallis Or

Our So1L.-Pfof. G.. w. Shaw.
chemist of the State Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station, has just issued a
circular to the farmers of the state,
giving list of questions relating to
the natural characteristics of the soil,
which, if answered, will furnish the
College with vast amount of informa-
! ton, and when arranged and digested
will be published in such form as to
be valuable, not only to residents of
the state, but also to intending settlers
and to capitalists seeking investments
for their wealth. Among other things
the circular says: "'The circular is
issued for the purpose of securing
more definite information concerning
agricultural features of the various por-
tions of the state, in order that the
various soils, mineral, localities and
mineral waters may be properly located
and classified, leading to the prepara-
tion Of correct agricultural and
mineral map of the state. 1t is of in
estimable importance to the state that
full and correct knowledge of the
agricultural and mineral resources be
thoroughly investigated, collated and |
given to the public in such form as
may be of value not only to the state,
but to the many persons in the east
who are desirous of ascertaining the
truth concerning these matters before
venturing 20 locate on this coast.
Work is now under way at the station
to gather such information from all
possible sources, and preliminary ex-
oerlments are being made to ascer-
ain the physical and chemical nature
Of the various soils.

OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT.
CORVALLIS, Dec. l6. 1901


ED. GAzETTE:-Prelininary steps
have been taken this week for the re.
organization or perfection of the fire
department. Many exempt firemen
are offering their services in behalf oi
the city's interests in this matter, while
some new members are backward and
reluctant. The safety and security of
city property against fires is a ques-
ton OF public Importance and demands
the attention of the business fabric of
the community. We are not enjoying
the benefits of satisfactory fire SER
vice at this time. City property is in
constant danger, and minor accidents
could easily lead to disastrous conse-
quences. In the effort to perfect or
ganization the city council, as pro-
gressive body, should lend hearty CO.
operation. Complaint has often arisen
from prominent members of the fire
department that its petitions to the
council for many necessary utilities to
the interests of the organization have
not received just Or liberal recognition
at the hands of the city legislators,
ard the requirements of the depart
ment have thus been grossly disre-
garded. OF course, we all know that
this disregard to further public inter-
ests is not prompted by any improper
motives on the part of the city fathers,
but it does not erase the importance of
the Inauguration and maintenance of a
first-class fire department, with all the
requirements necessary to its opera
ions, when called into service.
Respectfully, CITIZEN.

Besides those calculations which are re9uir-
ed for the calculation of taxes and which every
owner or lessee of houses in and out of town,
or estates, is bound to give to the Oommissi on,
the Government considers it requisite at the
same time to be informed of the number OF Ia
bourers on the estates or of other persons resid~,
ing there, as also of the quantity of stock on the
estates &C., for which purpose the blanks for
the tax lists are furnished with columns to
contain such information.
Owners of estates are to specify in writing
the exact number of acres in sugar cultivation,
in other cultivation and in pasture.
If any portion Of the land is con-
sidered to be useless, and yields no
revenue to the owner, the number
of acres of such portion must be
stated in the taxlist and a certificate
on oath issued by the proprietor and
two Burghers residing in the quarter
and furthermore attested by the
Quarter Officer, delivered to the COM
mission, when it will be taken. into
consideration if and to what .exteht
exemption from taxes a be granted.
In order that reduction can be OBJ
tanned in the taxes for dwelling
houses, warehouses and sheds which
have been unoccupied for six months
and upwards the Commission would
particularly draw the attention of
those parties desiring reduction that
it is very necessary in such cases
that certificates to that effect be
produced stating that the houses,
sheds etc., have been vacan!a during
said period.

Music Is Monarch,

The people of Dickinson county and
vicinity must certainly have much
melody in their souls, judging from the
business done by Messrs. Broughton
Bros. in selling pianos, organs and
other musical instruments. From tie
beginning of their business career here
they have enjoyed fattering patron
age but it has been during the past few
months particularly pleasing to the
firm.
In the past week they have delivered
an upright piano to parties in Morgan
vile, Clay county, and have an order
for another. Besides pianos sold in
this county they have also found pur-
chasers in Saline and Ottawa counties
and are handling large number of
the finest makes each month. When
it is remembered that fine upright
pianos are somewhat expensive 1t
shows how much confidence in the firm
the people have.
Then in organs, too, they have done
a rushing business and have put humid
reds of instruments into the homes,
churches and school houses of Dickin-
son county. Here they also have
exclusive agency for number of lead
ing firms, all of whom are standard
manufacturers. 1t is by handling only
standard and guaranteed work that
BrOughton Bros. have established their
present high reputation.
In smaller musical instruments,
such as viOlins, mandolins, banjOs,
etc., they have almost an unlimited
stock TO select from and everyone can
be suited completely.
Did you mention sewing machines?
Almost every standard machine made,
New Home, Domestic, Singer, etc.,
Isl handled by them, These machines
need no introduction. They speak for
themselves.
There is no need for any of our peO-
pie going to eastern cities to buy in
struments or machines. Neither the
prices nor quality of Broughton Bros
stock can be improved upon and their
business will continue to increase in
bulk and in extent of territory covered
in the future as in the past.

ARrakeman.s PerIlous Nap.

Near a country railroad station the
other day a Utica Observer man saw a
sight, to him, at least, unusual. On
the pilot of a rapidly-moving loco
motive which was drawing long train
of coal ''jimmies" lay man, evidently
a train hand, in the negligent attitude
of careless slumber. The couch was
hard and jolted fearfully, the hot sun
poured down its sharp and almost
vertical rays with scorehing heat, the
roar and rattle of the train were
deafening, and yet the tired brakeman
slept as peacefully through it all as if
the laboring monster were only Groom
ing the gentlest lullaby and swaying
his couch as tenderly as doting mother
the cradle of her sleeping infant.
