The Thistle Law.

At the last session of the legislature a
law was passed known as the "Thistle
Law" which for the benefit of farmers
and others we summarize as follows:
'It shall be the duty of each road sup
eryisor of each district in the state to as
certain from time to time and know
whether or not there is in his district any
weed known as HRussian thistle" the
Canada thistle" or the t'Chinese
thistle" and he shall as he ascertains
that there is any of such weeds, and
before any thereof has shed its bloom or
commences to form the seed, notify the
county judge, in writing, of the existence
of such weed, and in similar manner
notify the owner or occupant of ) the
premises upon which said weeds or
thistles may be.
If, after such notice, the owner shall
fail or refuse to destroy such. weed, it
shall be the duty of the road supervisor
to call such help as he may deem nee
esrary and go upon said land and cause
said weed to be extirpated in such a
manner as to prevent the spreading of
the seed from the same. Upon the com
pletion of said work, the supervisor
shall file with the county clerk an item
lied statement of the expense, verified
by his oath. The county clerk shall
cause to be entered upon a lien docket
provided for that purpose, the amount
of such charges and expenses, and this
amonnt, when SO docketed shall consti-
tute first lien, prior and superior to all
other liens and charges upon said lands
or premises, except taxes.
Ii said charges and expenses are not
paid by the owner within six months
after the same is docketed, the district
attorney shall bring suit in the name of
the county for the foreclosure of said
lien and the lands affected shall be sold
under execution Tor the payment and
satisfaction of said expenses and charges
and of said lien and all charges touching
the same.
Ii within ten days after the state
ment has been filed and the lien docket
ed, and no objections have been filed
thereto, the county court shall pay the
supervisor out of the county funds the
amount of said charges and expenses,
and the same shall thereafter be recov-
cred to the use of the county.

ture will he conducted w. Wilson under
the name of Wilson Commission Compa-
NY, while Charley will devote his en- tire
time to the study of telegraphy. Mr.
Wilson has been in business scarcely
over year, but in that time has so i'm
pressed the community with his straight

small. He has accordingly moved into

We often hear complaints made by
people who do not know, that too much
money is spent for our experiment sta
tions, and that the money is spent is
as good as thrown away; but if these
people will give this matter little coB-
sideration they can easily see their mis-
take. During the past ten years over
$40, 0,000,0 900 has been spent on the agri-
cultural experimental stations of the
country. During the same period the
value of the agricultural products raised
has been $50, 900, 100000, so that but 81
has been spent for each $4,000 of pro-
duct. AS it exists to day the American
system of agricultural stations is the
most comprehensive that has ever been
known, and its work has been of great
benefit to the farming population.
At present there is lively demand for
beef cattle and all indications point to
the fact this demand will continue. The

impress itself upon the stockman or far

fast becoming an unknown quantity.
The stock farmer who has couple of
hundred acres or section, who raises
his own feed and his own cattle is go
ing to do tne business in the future, and
his product will always bring the top pri-

The late unusual weather COM

produced the usual crop of calami-

damage has been done. The grain
has received no serious injury, and
hops are still looking we'll, and are
still free from vermin. The great
danger Of rains at this season is
of their long continuance, but as no
crop has eyer been destroyed in
Oregon by summer rains, we are
reasonably hopeful that none ever
will be, and SO we expect the nee
essary sunshine will same along in
good time, and our crops will lie
harvested without serious damage.

From the London Graphic
1t looks as though England would end
before very long by adopting the triple
screw, after ten years jeering at 1t. Com
modore Melville's paper on its advantages
is logical and conclusive. He points out
that it involves only an infinitesmal In
crease to the engine room force, and that
such an increase tends greatly to increase
the efficiency of the ship. In economy of
fuel and security against displacement the
triple-screw system means everything to
the man-of-war. The engine Compartments
are smaller; the shafting Is shorter; the
propelers of less size and projecting less
from the hull than do twin screws If there
are more engines the increase in the num-
