1T WOULDN'T WORK.

The city of Albany is somewhat dis
turbed from the same.cause which concerns
many individuals at Rthis time, namely, its
income does not equal it's expenditures by
about $1,000 year. The city has reached
the constitutional limit of taxation, and
h ow to reduce expenditures or increase re-
ceipts is the question. 1t has been sug-
gested that small toll be placed on the
bridge at Albany connecting Linnsand Ben
ton counties. Respecting this matter the
II erald says:
Viewing this proposition. carefully it does
not seem to be wise course for the
city to pursue, even if it could legally do
SO. The'bridge was built with the under
sta nding that it should; be free bridge.
Citizens across the river in Benton county
subscribed money for it with that under
standing, and the city' was granted the
right by the Oregon legislature through it's
amended charteratoI build free bridge.
Whether or not the city could now collect
tolls upon it would probably involve much
legal controversy. But aside from the legal
aspect of the smatter the, Herald does not
believe 1T would result benefcially to the
city to attempt such.a course. lin the first
place small toll only could be collected;
one or more trusted men would have to be
employed on the bridge to collect it; men
who subscribed to the bridge fund would
not willingly pay toll, and if they were ex-
cused, it would SO greatly lessen the pro-
posed toll, which is to be small anyway,
that it is doubtful if the city would realize
much profit out of it. Then again the city
should endeavor to encourage and invite
trade rather than drive it away. If such a
proposition had been offered when the
bridge question was up originally. a small
toll could no doubt have been placed upon
it without much opposition, but now the
people across the river in Benton county,
who naturally prefer to trade in Albany,
are already up in arms over the matter, and
would oppose it to the bitter end.

PRUNES FOR HOGS.

Mr.. G. E. Hoskins, of Springbrook, has
made an interesting experiment this year
with feeding prunes to hogs. When grad.
ing his prunes before drying, all prunes
which passed through the 5.inch opening
(prunes which would ruu from 120 to 40
per pound when dried) were placed on the
trays just as they came from the grader
and dried without cleaning and and Dip
ping. These he used to feed hogs with and
found the results very satisfactory. The
hogs did remarkably well on their prune
diet and the pork was of unusually good
flavor, as might be expected. Mr. Hoskins
expresses the opinion that every prune
grower should make note of this and try
the experiment next fall. No prunes of the
size mentioned ought to be sent to market
from Oregon under any circumstance, and if,
as his experience this last year indicates,
they have special value as hog feed they
should be utilized for that purpose. The
knowledge of such fact would also be of
value in case there should at any time be
such depression in the price of prrnes as
there is in the price of wheat at this time.
Oregon hogs raised on clover and milk, and
finished off with prunes, ought to give
product rivaling in quality the famous
Westphalia hams, which sell for about
double the price of the best corn-fed pro-
duct. Rural Northwest.

CASCADE FOREST RESERVE.

In reply to an article e ,sur1ng him for
his course in respect to the Cascade forest
reserve, Congressman Hermann writes
letter, to the Salem Statesman, which, on
account of probable discussion of the SUBJ
ject hereafter, may be valuable for reference.
MIR. Hermann says: GAS to the Cascade
reserve, as it now exists, opposed it under
the last administration and l opposed it
under this. President Harrison with held
the proclamation upon request sent by me
from the interior department to him. Our
delegation preferred that the Oregon legis-
posal of indemnity selections, which We
believed would at once be made, and val
liable lands of the state secured by monop-
olies and speculative syndicates to the dis
the presence of VIM. G. Steel, Esq, OF
Portland, Oregon, who has ever advocated
a reasonable reserve, l prevailed upon Sec
retary Noble to reduce the reserve so as
to merely include Mt. Hood and Crater
lake and the surroundings, pending legis-
| lative action in Oregon, and stated to the
secretary that unless this was done We
| feared that gigantic land grabbing by specu
| lators would result. The secretary directed
| that new maps and a modified proclamation
| should be prepared, but this action was too
| late for executive action. In this admins.
tration found the same persistent influence
at work to secure the withdrawal of the en-
tire range. L personally and repeatedly
protested, and asked that the reserve be
diminished as above suggested, and in ad-
dition to the reasons given, L stated that
valuable mineral lands would be withdrawn.
I favor forest reserve on the Crscade range
and elsewhere before it is too late. The rea
sons are apparent. But there should be a
careful segregation of that which is forest
by examination and survey in the field and
when made not an acre should be sold. In
that case indemnity selections should b.
open to the great body of the people, rather
than to spectators aud jobbers aud sold at
such figures as would be nearer the actua
market value of the land. If there is to be
a margin for profit let portion of it at least
90 to the schools and children of Oregon and
not to monopolies.
| Yours truly.

COLLEGE NOTES.

A valuable collection of invert ebrates has
recently been added to the geological mu-
scum. The collection consists of sixty fine
specimens both recent and fossil. These
were presented to the college by Mr.. Guy
Powers, who is at present located in Cor
wallis. Mr.. Powers also contributed about
a dozen mineral specimens for the mineral
cabinet.
The literary contest which was set for
January 10Th has been postponed until
February 2nd on account of some contes-
tants from the Websterian society not being
ready for duty. The Ciceronian society
feels confident of success and interprets all
these signs as tokens of weakness on the
part of the Websterians.
The horticultural department will soon
begin experiments to determine the amount
of pollen produced by each variety of fruit
such as apples, pears and plums This will
be a great benefit to alll.fruit growers for
they will thereby be guided in planting
| their trees so as to use varieties that are
pollen producers. Experiments are also be-
ing made with italian prunes. The great
difficulty in producing these is that they
drop off the trees before ripe. 1t has been
found that this is due to a lack of fertiliza-
tion and therefore extended tests in fertili
zation and cross fertilization are being made.
The results of all these tests will duly ap.
pear in the college bulletins.
The short course has at present an en-.
rollment of fifteen persons. The work is
very interesting and all seem we'll pleased
with it. 1t is desirable to increase the at
tendance of these classes and every one
wishing to become a member will be wei.
