Elgin, the harness maker, and
Morgan, the job printer, have all
received ''raise" and are going
north to locate. =
The author of their lily is
Mr.. Moffat, and the OCCASION OF
their change of residence is the
transfer of the Pqter building
from its corner opposite the Oc-
cidental to a position immediately
south of Hotel Corvallis. The
building was ready to start We'd
nesday, but more big timbers
were found necessary and a delay
was oecasioned by the work OF
securing them. All things were
madea ready Friday, however,

To Bond District.

Marion Hayden and bis broth
er, Jasper, were out from Alsea
last week for the purpose OF as
certaining what the people OF
their section could do in the way
of bouding their district in order
that they may build a permanent
highway over which they can
travel without hindrance at all
seasons of the year.
Owing to the condition OF the
road over Alsea mountain during
the winters of past years it has
been an smpossibility to get to
Corvallis with produces; in fact,
almost out OF the question to reach
this city at all. In order to bet
ter their condition the citizens OF
the little valley have voted a
special FIVE mill tax upon them
selves, and with this money they
are enabled to complete abou'
two miles of permanent road a
year.
This seems too slow and they
feel convinced that if some
scheme could be hit upon where
by they could raise the necessary
funds and complete the road at
once they would be money in
pocket in the end. With this
idea in mind they are thinking
of bonding the district to raise
funds for this purpose, providing
such proceeding is not contrary
to law. This was the business
of the Messrs. Hayden in Cor
wallis last week.

SOWING ALFALFA.
One of the Greatest Foods for
Dairy Cows.

In the last issue OF the Pacific
Northwest, DIR. James Witty
combe, director of the expert
ment station of OAC, this city,
is quoted as follows on the cult
vation Of alfalfa in the William
cite Valley:
"It is not a good plan to sow
alfalfa with any other crop, un-
less the soil is rich and we'll suit
ed to the growing of alfalfa.
These so-called nurse crops are
often a delusion and a snare.
Some OF the soils in the valley
are evidently too acid for growing
alfalfa, and some contain too
much iron salts. Hence, where
there is suspicion that either of
these conditions prevail it is wise
to experiment on moderately
small scale before sowing large
acreage. The experiment sta
ton, however, is experimenting
with lime to determine the mini
mum amount required to correct
this acidity.
"Alfalfa is durable crop and
should last five or ten years, or
even longer, if treated properly.
The principal foes OF alfalfa are
weeds, gophers and heavy pas
turing. After the alfalfa is two
or three years old it will stand
moderate discing and any amount
of narrowing; hence weeds can
be kept in subjection by using
these implements in the spring
and fall. Wher the crown of
the plants attain a good size
discing to split them up seems to
invigorate the plant and mater.
tally increases the yield. IS
"The station has experiments
ed with all kinds OF devices for
discriminating the gopher, in
cluding traps. spring-guns and
fumigations with poisonous gases
but strychnine proved the most
successful. The method en-
ployed is to take a piece of carrot
or potato as large as a small wal.
nut, slit it and put a few crystals
of the poison in it and drop it
into an open hole, or in their
runways, and that is usually the
last OF the gopher.
"Green alfalfa is excellent for
dairy cows. 1t supplies practi-
cally balanced ration. The
hay is excellent for all classes of
stock except the horse. Hogs
will winter fairly we'll on nicely
cured alfalfa hay. .
"Alfalfa isa deep-rooting plant.
hence it feeds on the lower stra-
tas of soils which other forage
plants fail to reach. 1t is also a
great irnprover of the soil, both
physically and in nitrogen con-
tent.
"Perhaps it would be we'll to
state that ordinarily where alfalfa
is sown in the valley, it is wise
either to treat the seed with cut
ting of the proper nitro-organ-
isms before sowing, or inoculate
the ground with empregnated
soil, putting on from 100 to 200
pounds per acre at the time of
seeding"

A Man to Help Push.

A. j. Johnson, OF Corvallis
arrived in this city Tuesday. Mr..

examiner in this district for sew
eral years and in going his round:

by the great possibilities of the
Harvey country and purchased q
big block of stock of the FRS
National Bank of Burns. Mr..
Johnson has rendered his resigna.
ton as bank examiner, which,
by the way, has not yet been act

Notes From Washington
From Our Regular Correspondent.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
The opening of Congress this
week has of cource been the event
in the political world. 1t means
much to the social world also be-
cause it is the signal for a round
of gayety with official, semi. off
c;al and private entertain ments
that have come more and more
in recent years to occupy an i'm
portant place in the winter life
of Washington.
The big white building on the
hill was crowded for the opening
day, as it always is on such oc-
casions. Speaker Cannon at
one end of the building fairly
divided interest with Vice Presi-
dent Fairbank at the other. The
galleries were packed, the diplo-
matte gallery especially, and the
crowd of distinguished visitors
entirely overlooked the private
galleries and nearly filed the
seats usually designed to acco-
modate the people. Of course
the first days session was pro
dnctive of nothing in particular,
this day never is. in fact the
whole of the time between now
and Christmas will, in all pro-
liability, be devoted largely to
organizing the two houses and
getting things in running order
before the Christmas recess.
The rumored change that was to
come about with Senator Platt S
resignation did not materialize,
and the quiet old gentleman was
on hand in his seat as usual.
Senator Allison was not there,
and his absence created some
comment, but it is said not to be
due to serious i'll health but is

SIMPLY because his physicians
have advised him to take things

There is a great deal of specu-
lation over the Legislation that
Congress will be able to get
through in the brief time allow
ed it during short session. 1t
is generally agreed that the Ship
SUBSIDY bill will be passed.
The is hope also in a great many
quarters that the Speaker will
concent to the passage of a River
and Harbor Appropriation Bill.
This will mean picking for near
ly every congressional district
il the country. Such bill is
usually held back till toward the
end of a session, when the Speak
60 can always use it judiciouly TO
tling reluctant mem bers into
line. Representative Burton, Of
olitO. olldl Ii LII dill Oh Ul1e LOtVcI olu
Harbor Com mittee, is naturally
much interested in he measure
and has assured the River and
Harbo Congress, which met
here last Autumn that he would
do all in his power to see a bill
passed at this session. The plan
of the River and Harb Dor Con-
gress is for a wides pread and
systematic scheme of river and
harbor improvement, which
would involve andOutlay of about
$5O,OOO,OO0 annually. for several
years to come. This is large
amount, but it is held that with
a reasonably certain fixed ap-
preparation work can be carried
on more economically and effec-
lively than when it is left to
guess work whether or not any
money will be available to COM
plete projects already under
Wav.
There are a mum Der of other
measures of considerable impor-
tance which will probably fur
nish a basis for a great deal of
talk. These include reform cur.
rency legislation, the Inheritance
tax bill and the PHILIPPINE tariff.
All of them very goo I meas ures.
