RESTORED THE OLD WATCH.
Was i'm the Ground IS Years
Before Being Found.

On display in Winslow Bros show
window is an old silver watch that has
the remarkable record of having been
in the ground for IS years and is now
again in perfect running order.
The watch is one that was lost by
]. r. Porter on his ranch near here
IS years ago Not long ago it was
found on the place, and Mr.. Porter
brought the timepiece to town to see
what could be done with it. The
watch is large one with a heavy sill
yer case. Some of the parts were so
damaged by rust that they had to be
replaced, while the rest of the works
was in fairly good condition.
However, it was necessary for the
jewelers. to refinish and polish every
piece of the mechanism in order to
make it keep good time once more.
This was done by Winslow Bros, and
the restoration work was so complete
that the watch is now keeping per-
feet time and bears no evidence of it's

ADVERTISING IN MANILA.
Widow of Dead Spaniard Uses Half
Page Ad for Gard of Thanks.

A copy of the Manila Times of June
s has Just reached the office of the
Fast oregonian. and aside from hav-
ing many startling features not usual
in an American newspaper 1t contains
one feature which will make the aver
age American publisher green with
envy.
On one of the local pages appears a
half-page ad from an inconsolable
widow, thanking friends for their as
sistance and asking their prayers for
her deceased husband.
A few lines occupy half page, and
are paid for at display ad rates. The
few words in the ad are as follows:
Dom Pedro A. Roxas de Ayala
died in Paris at the age of 80. His
inconsolable widow. son. parents,
brothers-in-law and other relatives
take this occasion of informing their
friends of their grev'eus loss, request
ing that they remember the deceased
in their prayers.
Manila, June s, 1906"
This is an entirely new feature in
advertising business in American ter
ritcry and will perhaps cause a rush
of publishers to the islands.
The ad in an ordinary American
daily would cost at least so to s15
for each insertion. 1t occupies half
page of a seven-column paper with
22-inch columns.

For the purpose of studying the dry
land farming methods followed in this
county, DIR. w. X. Sudduth of Billings,
Mont, has been here for several days
and during that time he has visited at
several places south and east of PEN
dleton.
DR.. Sudduth is land owner and
stockman of Billings, and one of the
branch experimental stations is locat-
ed on his ranch. In that state the eX-
pertinent stations are conducted at the
expense of ]. J. Hill. president of the
Great Northern railroad. There are
six branch stations in the state, and
this is their first years work.
During the coming winter DIR. Sud-
duth will lecture at some of the insti-
tutes to be held in various portions of
the state, and while here is securing
information and photos showing
farming scenes in Umatilla county,
which he will use at that time.
At the present time, DR.. Sudduth
says, no attention whatever has been
paid to anything but stockraising in
the northeastern portion of Montana,
and that the ranchers there scarcely
raise enough grain for feeding pur-
poses. The big county of Dawson is
entirely given over to stockraising, as
is also most of the southeastern por-
ton of the state.
However, the doctor says, the quail
ity of the soil is such as to make
wheat raising profitable, and he be-
lieves that in time the country will be
given over to that. The elevation is
about 1000 feet. The land is now
well grassed, and by following the
practice of summer following DR..
Sudduth believes wheat can be raised.
During the past the country has suf-
fered considerably from isolation, but
now that branch line is proposed
from Great Falls to Billings, and the
Chicago & Northwestern is also in
tending to build through the state,
there is every indication that good
railroad connections will soon be pro-
vided.

"0n every street corner of the city
of San Francisco, and on every build
ing are signs, Carpenters wanted"
"Bricklayers wanted at once" La
bcrers wanted; good pay, steady
work" says Leo Kohn, of the o. r, 4
y, freight offices who returned from
a two weeks visit TO the Bay City
this morning.
Mr.. Kohn, who formerly lived in
San Francisco, says that the city Is
rapidly resuming a semblance of or
der. The ground is being cleared
away for the new buildings. Many of
the new structures will be built on a
large scale and everything promises
even a more magnificent city than
before.
He says in the heart of the city
where little work of clearing has been
done yet, people who have been ia
miliar with the city for years are alb
solutely lost in the maze of the ruins.
All the familiar landmarks are gone
and the former sites of some of the
finest buildings are nothing but a mo-
notOnous mass of ruins and old inhab-
| itants are unable to locate the streets
which they formerly knew as a book.
Mr.. Kohn says that hundreds of
people are still camped in the parks,
but that owing to the abundance of
work, there are not many people
drawing free provisions, except those
unable to work.
The greatest drawback is the ina
biity 70 secure building material. All
the roads leading into the city are
tied up with the congestion of freight
standing in the yards.

TO TEST FRAzER's DECISION.
Portland City Employees Want to
Know About Their Jobs.

That each of the city employees on
the list of III who, according to Judge
Frazer's decision, are holding down
their places Illegally, contribute 75
cents to fund to make an appeal to
the supreme court is the suggestion
of Mayor Lane, says the Oregon Daily
Journal.
II don't believe any of the boys
would object to paying that much to
have the thing settled" says the
mayor.
While probably no one on the list
would object to contributing to such
fund it is possible that some may
think they are being assessed to help
Patrick Bruin out of the hole in which
he finds himself by the decision OF the
circuit Judge.
The supreme court might reverse
the decision of Judge Frazer and then
again 1t might uphold 1t. While there
is no question about the requirement
OF II days notification In advance of
the examinations. 1t is true that Judge
Frazer did not return any opinion on
the questions which he was asked to
decide. viz: Bruins citizenship and his
residence in Portland. Instead, he
decided against Bruin on technical
ity which affects 176 besides the ins
spector of police.
1t is upon these grounds that an APP
peal might be taken to the supreme
court. Such action will cost in the
neighborhood of 500, perhaps con-
siderably more.
IN the meantime we will make
temporary appointments" said Mayor
Lane this morning. Those who have
been doing good work for the city
need not fear that they will be dis
placed, but those who have not beer
doing so well may have to take exam

the entire period from calfhood
up, the daily gain per head ON
the corn lot was 1.84 pounds;
on the oats lot, 1,76; on the millet lot,
1.47; and on the speltz lot, 1.69 pounds.
During the grass period the lot fed
on the speltz gained 112 pounds more
than did the lot fed on the corn. The
speltz produced hard fat, about the
same as oats, and as good a quality of
meat as corn
The station found that ground oats
proved to be profitable feed for the
production of baby beef, and the steers
thus fed were nearly as fat as those
fed on corn.
When the calves were fed in lots ON
the same kind of grain from birthday
to ma turity, those whoch received the
most highly carbonaceous feed pro-
duced the largest per cent of dressed
beef. The lot fed on oats dressed out
81 per cent, while the lot fed on corn
dressed out 6O.4 per cent.
While this is but one experiment,
it indicates that when the farmers in
the northwest are compelled to go to
feeding cattle to maintain the fertil-
ity of their land, it is entirely possible
for them to grow baby beef to advan-
tage by the use of either millet, speltz
or oats, or combinations of these three
feeds, all of which can be cheaply
grown north of the corn belt.

Raising Beans.

Merits Island on the East Coast
is a remarkable place. 1t is fifty
miles long, not over three quarters Of
a mile wide and divides Indian river
from Atlantic. Its soil is unsurpassed
and will grow pineapples and vegeta-
bles in abundance. To clear the land
and get it ready for cultivation is the
question. In many places the growth
is so dense that it is absolutely i'm
penetratable for any thing but a rabbit
or a snake Notwithstanding this,
however, the ak and the grubbing hoe
are steadily and vigorously pushing
their invasions. Already there are
many large fields in cultivation, from
which the farmers ship beans and to-
matoes in mid winter Some of these
beans brought as high as So crate
last winter 1t is no uncommon thing
for two crops of beans to be raised
and shipped from the same land in
one season.-Fort Pierce News.

Cow Would You Like This Butter.

The Moor prepares butter in an
original way and gets different taste
from the usual one. Fresh butter
C'sibida,'' as he calls it), as known by
us, he despises and uses only for
cooking 1t must be old if it is to be
liked. After it has lain in a hole in
the ground for some years and has
got a certain appearance it becomes
a delcacy. TO make butter a goat
skin is turned inside out. It is filled
with milk, bound tight and tied to a
tree. There it is beaten backward
and forward till the butter is made.
That is why you cannot get butter
in Morocco without hairs all through
it, The butter is then laid on pieces
Of wood and the maker goes to sell
1t. Possible buyers lift the dirty
cover, put in their fingers and take
out taste and if the goods do not
please, close it down again and the
salesman pursueS his way-EX-

When Will Indiana do the Same?

This question is the title of a
short editorial in the Indiana Far
mer. We would like to ask the same
question, merely changing the name
Indiana to Florida What do you
think of the idea?
Under the new Initiative and Re-
ferendum law in the State of Oregon
the people are doing things in the way
Of legislation. They have some show
now for having the kind of laws they
want When five per cent. of the
voters SO desire they can start move
ment to repeal an Objectionable law,
or to pass a new one, and the leglsla-
tors must do their bidding. Here is
sample Of their work:
''In the legislature of 1905, bill
was introduced providing for tax
of one per cent. on certain corpora
tons Against the advice of their
attorneys, the corporations fought the
bill and succeeded in defeating it. The
people responded by initiating bill
of their own, levying a tax of two and
three per cent. on the gross earnings
of these same corporations, and adopt
ed it at the election by an overwhelm
ing majority.

Fowls that must be fed in summer
should be fed regularly. If fed only
twice day feed lightly in the morn

fed but once day feed at night.
Growing chickens should be en-
couraged to hunt and scratch for their

The poultry business is one of
many details and they need close fol-
lowing if the business is made a sue
cess, and one of the causes why so
many fail to stay in the business is
that the details are too much for them
Unless person is willing to pay at
tention to the little things and not
only do them once, but many times,
if necessary. The safest plan is to
stay out of the business entirely.
Fowls are so provided that they can
grind any kind Of food in eating
Grinding the food for them therefore
is not necessary, unless for the pur-
pose of feeding mixture or variety
that cannot be given them in any
other shape But they should always
have plenty of gravel for grinding

most tempted to challenge your pre-
siding officer, who is the President of
the Dairymen's Association, to show
me one utility COW in the State that
is doing as much for her owner. I
make this comparison not for the pur-
pose of disparaging the dairy inter-
ests of the State, but to emphasize the
possibility of the hen as a staple farm
product More especially should it
be emphasized in those cases of
sterilized farms where even the soil
is too poor for even ordinary graz
ing. 1t is safe to say that large
percentage of Connecticut farms have
one or more acres unfit for even pas
ture Such land is ideal for poultry
provided it is dry. A field of rocks
growing up to sprouts and briars is
an ideal situation for poultry, and
can be made to return a handsome
profit to the owner.
1t is not to be supposed, however,
that poultry will thrive without care.
The trouble with poultry in the past
has been that it has been neglected
The average farmer belittles the hen
and considers her beneath his dignity
of no value, and fit only for the at
tention of the women folks If the
average farmer would keep flock of
from one to three hundred laying
hens, and give them half his care he
gives his COWS and hogs, he would
find the balance sheet at the end of
the year in favor of the hens. There
is saying that "a hen will eat any
thing a hog will and make good
deal better use of it." If the farmers
of this State would raise less pork and
more fowl, feed more clean, whole
some grain to their hens, and less
brewery refuse to their cows, we
would find less farm mortgages beg
ging for takers.
