The assessable valuation of all Clack-
amas county is being doubled by
Assessor Nelson, who is at work on the
1908 roll. Assessor Nelson reports
that heretofore in this county property
has been assessed at not to exceed 35

same, since it will be cut down in pro.

The first annual convention of the
Oregon state federation of labor met in

ative as was hoped. By far the larger
Part of those in the convention were

Plenty of Gold but Little Silver.

Clackamas county officers report an
unusual scarcity of silver. Treasurer
Cahill says gold pieces, in denomina-
tions of 500, were never before as plen-
t:ful as they are at this time, and he
finds it troublesome to keep on hand a
sufficient amount of silver with which
to make change. No reason is assigned
for this condition, save that it indicates
in substantial way greater degree
of prosperity among all classes.

Wool in rIarion County Pool.

From information produced at the
Marion county woolgrowers' associa-

the quantity of wool controlled by the
pool this year will be nearly double
that of last year. The soliciting COM
mlttee has not yet completed its work,
but thus far so members have been
secured, and it is expected that the
total amount of wool represented will
be from $4,000 to 100, 900 pounds.

slides have been coming down from
Turtle mountain at intervals during the
past 36 hours. This morning at day.
break the largest rock slide since the
first disastrous one occurred and caused
much uneasiness among the shandful of
officials left in Frank. Those who had
portable property began to remove it
this morning, but when the big slide
came they fed precipitately. Govern
ment engineers went to the mountain
this afternoon to mark out blasting
spots and clear off the loose rock.
Renewed fears of flood have been
caused by the unexpected rise of the
river. Rain is predicted, and with the
river still practically damned by rocks,
a food now would be disastrous.

HOW TO HAUL BUTTER.
Try Mixture of Green Grass, Wet
blankets and Common Sense

Try n Mixture of Green Grass, Wet
blankets and Common Sense.
Here are few things that ought to
be done by our country creameries and
/ will be done by creameries that care
/! for the reputation and price of their
butter, says A. W. Trow in the Farmer:
The butter team should be at the
creamery not later than 6 o'clock in the
morning where it is possible to load
into car in the forenoon.
The driver should be instructed to
bring plenty of wet green grass in the
box to cover up the butter with; also
some clean blankets, which should be
wet at the creamery and hung over
the edge of the wagon box and inside
down to the bottom to cover the box
all around.
When the butter is loaded lay grass
all over the top of the load, and then
the parts Of blankets hanging on the
outside Of the box are laid over the
grass and over all this heavy canvas,
which is long enough to hang down
over the sides and ends of the wagon
box.
A load of butter thus prepared may
be hauled ten or twenty miles in the
hottest weather without injury to the
butter.
In case the butter cannot be loaded
directly into the refrigerator car the
butter hauler should be firmly instruct
ed to inquire of the station agent if the
train is late, and if such is the case
the butter should be hauled into the
shade of building and never unloaded
from the wagon until the train has left
the last previous station.
The driver may be in a hurry to get
home, but it is much better for him to
wait for few hours if necessary than
for the butter to be standing on the
depot platform and better for the COM
pany to pay the driver 81 extra than to
have the butter spoiled.
The butter will come out of the wag-
on box thus protected cold and nice as
it came from the creamery refrigerator.
It is better for the creamery to buy
canvas and blankets, so as to be sure
to have them. but the driver should
bring grass with him.
1t is with this as with everything
else; it depends largely upon the but
ter maker. He must be the leading Spir-
it and see to it that the loading and
shipping of the butter as we'll as ev-
erything else is done just right and
that the butter hauler as we'll as the
creamery patrons are properly instruct
ed. 1t takes lots of attention, work,
worry and, most of all, ambition. Many
fall short; therefore you get heated but
ter, poor butter, moldy tubs, etc.

sachusetts at rest. These cows are
happy in their comfortable stable and
look as though they had no fault to
find with life. That is the frame of
mind that incloses perfect life picture

A mixture of cut Sheaf oats, bran
and shorts will make a very satisfac
tory ration for milk COWS, says ]. III.
Skinner of the Indiana experiment sta
ton. This combination gives two Of
the standard dairy feeds and a third
shorts, which is used to considerable
extent and quite successfully. The ra-
ton might be improved for winter
feeding by giving gluten feed in place
Of shorts and adding clover hay. Most
dairymen have come to feel that no
ration for dairy cow is complete
without silaae There will be nothing
gained by feeding stock hogs cut sheaf
oats, as such feed makes bulky ration
with the large amount Of coarse mate
rial which is more or less indigestible.
Save All the Fodder.
1t is evident that there is going to be
a heavy demand for hay from the east.
In that event we would earnestly ad-
wise all readers, says the Dairyman, to
save all the corn fodder they can. Very
much of the corn in the west will be
good for nothing except for fodder.
But III IT Is careIully saved Inefe Will
be chance to sell some Of the hay and
a cash crop obtained in that way.
The man that is saving Of his fodder
and saves it when in the best feeding
condition generally has the bulge on
good luck.
Good Pasture Is the Thing.
Good pasture is not only the best
feed for milk COWS. but also the cheap
est. according to an agricultural ex-
change. Perennial pasttrage affords
the cheapest, possible feed for cattle OF
any kind, and during the season when

The Laughing Hyena.

Although the hysterical laughter of
the laughing hyena is not, as was once
supposed, the outcome of deliberate
attempt to decoy unwary travellers to
their doom, this strange animal is, new
ertheless, one of the most cunning Of
dumb animals. He is so suspicious Of
everything he does not understand that
the sight Of even bit of string at once
puts him on his guard. Trappers are
aware of this fact and generally use
the stems of creeping plants instead of
string Of any kind in setting their
spring traps.

The Flight of the Locust.

Writing in the Empire Review on the
locust in South Africa. S. B. Kitchen
says: Locusts are very tiny creatures,
at most two or three inches long, yet
giant jawed and shelled in grim
brown mail so hard that as they strike
it causes sharp smart. They travel
in such numbers that it takes them
four or five days to pass over. The
scouts alone. lowering in patches like
red dust clouds, are numerous enough
to destroy the vegetation of a district,
while the main body. high up in the air,
host of little black specks. stretches
out into an interminable screen be-
tween heaven and earth. The tanning
of their wings brings fresh GOODNESS
over the hot earth even in the depth
of summer. There seems to be a fresh
breath of ozone as Of the sea.
