Pennoysrs Appeal.

On Christmas day Governor Psnnoyer,
Of Oregon, addressed the following letter
to President Cleveland. So far as can
be learned the president has not taken
official action on it:
"The extraordinary circumstances which

Repeated appeals have been made to

and 90 Far as the books show no one can
tell what became Of those balances.
These amounts are due the state from
county treasurers Of several counties
from the year 1871 to 1884.
County commissioners, county clerks
and county tressurers should beware Of
certain persons claiming to be public or
expert accountants connected in some
way with the state, who are fleeing
some Of our counties out of considerable
money by examining the books Of the
county treasurer and county clerk for q
number Of years back, claiming that he
OF they are the only persons who can get
credit with the state auditor. He charges
about so per cent. of what he finds for
his services. For example: suppose he
finds total credits Of say $1,000, his fee
would be $500. These expert examinations
are all unnecessary as the county clerk
on a proper showing can get o credit
with the state for any item which is
Justly due his county. Besides, this pro-
cedure is likely to Lessen the finances Of
the state very materially il it continues,

the requirements Of tho statutes.
Owing to the demands made by the
Peoples party, the reduction Of salaries
OF stats and county officials by local bills
is quite an important item. The Peoples
party never having had control Of both
houses Of the legislature have been pre-
vented from securing q general bill re-
ducing the salaries Of county officers.
However, special bills have been passed
reducing the salaries Of q part or all Of
the county officers in the following Coun-
ties: Brown, Jewell, Lincoln, Osborne,
Montgomery, Franklin, Miami, Sumner,
Bourbon, Clay, Coffey, Osage, Mitchell,
Smith, Sherman, Marshall, Cloud, Wash

ford. In q few cases the representa-
tives Of the above counties were republi-
cans, who favored reduction because Of
thessgitstion along that line by the Peo-
pls's party, being compelled to do SO by
public sentiment.
II is difficult TO determine accurately
the total amount OF such reductions
from the fact that nearly one half Of
them are fes Offices. But q careful con-
servative estimate of the total reduction
made in the above named counties iE
Size, 1876 per annum, and in two years will

and records which, Of course, disproVe
che assertions Of the republican press
from one end of the state to the other,
relative to their charges Of extravs-

statutes Of Kansas require eight hours
for days labor from state employees,

Information relative to the expenses Of
the secretary OF states Office.
A few months ago saw letter in q

five months and that they had not

the republicans, but on the other hand
had found everything all right. just TO
refresh the ex-ssCrstary's defective
memory and for the information Of the
people, 1 submit a small comparison on
two items of the contingent expenses Of
the secretary OF states office, which is as
follows:

gives the following story "The Ham
Idle Kurds fell on Herfev, an Arme-
nian village, and asked that the beau
tiful daughter of the priest be deliv-
cred to them. The girl, hearing that
the villagers really intended to deliver
her to them in order to get rid of their
barbarities, hid herself, and at night
succeeded in making her way, with
her brother, toward Russian territory.
When the Kurds heard of this escape
they followed them, and overlook them
in the mountains. The brother and
sister defended themselves from be-
hind rock until they had fired all
their cartridges but two The sister
then threw herself into the arms of her
brother, and begged him to shoot her
with one of the cartridges, SO that she
might not fall into the hands of the
kurds, nor see the death of her broth
er, and that with the second he should
deliver himself also from the hands OF
the Kurds. This was done. The sister
was killed, but the brother was taken
half dead and delivered to the Turkish
authorities, and is now in prison"

PLANTING STRAWBERRIES.

In the majority of cases, the spring
of the year is the best season for plant
ing strawberries. When the plants
are received from the nursery, they
should be unpacked at once and spread
out IN cellar, to prevent heating,
and in planting the roots should not
be exposed to the sun or air. The
ground should be free from weeds, and
well fertilized. The rows may be thirty
inches apart, plants one foot apart in
the row. They need to be frequently
cultivated to keep down all weeds,
which are the strawberry growers
greatest enemy. In the autumn, after
the ground has become firmly frozen,
the plants should be covered with
leaves, clean straw, or corn fodder.
Stable manure should not be used on
these beds, because full of seeds.
Strawberry beds should be renewed
every two or three years if the best
fruit is desired. American Agricul-
