With Murder.
MANY ARE SEEKING OFFICE

Ensley, June 13.-(Special. THE ques-
ton of the date which will be set by the
city executive for the primary to elect
city officials is agitating the public at
present. Opinion seems somewhat divid-
ed as to the date for the primary. A
majority however, are said to favor
late primary. A canvass of the executive
committee discloses the fact that that
body favors a late primary. In the mean
time the number of prospective candidates
for mayor and aldermen continues to in
crease
So far those who have been prominently
mentioned as candidates for mayor are:
Alderman j. E. Holllngsworth, Alderman
w. W. McTyiere, A. w. Muckinfuss Far
ris Suggs, Chief of Police Camp, L. G.
Waldrop A. F. deF'uniak.
A number of candidates have also been
mentioned for members Of the board Of
aldermen
The late and early primary supporters
are both advancing arguments In favor
of their respective positions. The cham
pions of the late primary plan contend
general welfare of the city to have as
short a campaign as practical.

ALSEA FOREST FIRES.
They Neared the Danger Line Early
in the Week, but Lost Their
Energy.

News yesterday was to the effect
that the fires that have been playing,
such havoc in the forests of Alsea
have in large part spent their ener-
gy. Early in the week parties
from there reported fires in various
parts of the valley, with smoke so
thick that objects could not be seen
at distance of a couple hundred
yards. The most threatening fire S
were in the vicinity of Zahn's,
where there was danger thata wind
at any time might drive the burn
over the ridge and into the woods
of the Benton County Lumber
Company. A war, however, was
waged by the settlers. and during
the past day or two the fires have
so died out that the danger is ap-
parently over. This, at least, was
the report of Fire Warden Uriah
Wren, who is in chargeof the Alsea
district.

that without contract with the

ARE TAXABLE.
So Says the Attorney General :
Timber Lands in Benton Must

Whether the patent is of record
or not, timber claims on which the
final receipt from the land Office
has issued to the owner, are sub
ject to assessment and taxation.
Many owners of timber lands in
Benton County believe that until
the patent is Of record, the lands
are not taxable. They are wrong,
according to an opinion just rem
dered by Attorney General ,Craw-
ford. The opinion is based on lieu
lands, but in it the attorney gener-
al holds that timber lands are tax
able whenever the final land Office
receipt has passed to the claimant.
He says
In the light of these decisions, it
seems that lieu selections become
taxable when the proofs are all
complete in the local land Office
and the fees paid. The applicant
is then entitled to patent, and if
he has not been guilty of fraud the
Government cannot refuse to issue
the same. Therefore, the first day
of March after such proofs and
payments are made would be. the
date that such land becomes liable
to assessment for purposes of tax
alton. Timber and stone lands on
the first day of March after final re-
ceipt issues.
AS to lands held up, we dos not
understand what you mean by"held
up" but if for any reason final re-
ceipt doas not issue. whether by
reason of contest or on the initiative
Of some special agent, I doubt the
wisdom Of assessing. No final re-
ceipt, has issued, and there is a
definite charge that the applicant
has not complied with the la \, and
if he has not. he is not entitled 10
patent. and no title, either legal or
equitable, would be in him; but if
he has fully complied so that final
receipt issues, the land is assessable.
y The opision was rendered by
Attorney General Crawford in an
swer to questions from District At
torney W.J.Moore, of klamath and
Lake Counties, where large guam
tity of lieu land is held.

O. A. C. AT SALEM.
Big Exhibit Sent-Practical Lessons on
Practical Subjects-What the Dis
playis.

The college exhibit for the State
Fair LETT for Salem yesterday. The
display is the largest and one of
the best ever sent out to represent
the institution, most of the depart
ments being represented, Prof.
Pernot's contribution is a set of
test tubes showing the cultures of
living germs. both ofdisease produc-
ing and economic character. Among
the latter is the germ that sours
milk and which is of value in
butter and cheese-making. Among
the disease producing germs ex-
hibitedare those that produce con-
sumption in cattle and poultry,
that cause lumpy jaw in cattle,
those that. produce assesses, and
many other species of organism
that cause diseases in domestic ami
mails and poultry. The same de
partment also contributes a model
cheese box for use in curing can
ned cheese.
Prof. Shaw contributes a fine
display of stuffed birds of species
tha, prev upon insect pests, and
are Of consequent benefit to the
horticulturists and agricultural;sts
of the country. The display will
be an object lesson in that it will
show people interested what birds
not to destroy. Prof. Coote's ex-
hibit comprises over 200 varieties
of large and small fruits, and the
agricultural department contributes
a large variety Of grains, grasses,
and forage plants. Prof. Lake
sends student drawings of plants
and botanical specimens, repre- sent-
ing class work at the college.
Samples of tools and machines made
by students are contributed by the
iron work department, and Prof.
Kent has an interesting exhibit of
cheese, showing the amount of
cheese given amount of milk
will produce. One Of the most in
structive displays is from the chem
ical department, In it there is a
showing, by chemical analysis, of
the digestible nu5riment of wheat,
oats, hay. millstuffs and other ami
mai foods. showing the value of
each for feeding purposes. The
whole exhibits instructive in char
acter, and will do much to exem
plify the, scientific and practical
character of the work conducted
and instruction given at the col
lege.
Prof. Coote accompanied the ex-
hibit to Salem, and will superin-
tend its arrangement in the pavil-
ion.
