Items of Registration.

1t is a fact that registration of
voters is a slow proposition as is
proved by the books at the
clerks Office. Why is this?
There is an evidence of more
interest on the part of the older
men than is taken by the younger
generation of voters. Up to yes
terday morning only 18 men of
the age of rs years or under had
registered in the two main part
les; of these 13 were republicans
and 5 democrats.
We find that 16 men of the age
of 70 years or over have register
ed-6 democratic and 10 republi-
can. In this connection it may
be said that above the age of Is
years they were all democratic
with one exception.
The total registration up to
yesterday morning was 347. Of
these 1877 were republicans; 1872
democrats; 10 registered indie
pendent; 8 stated that they were
socialists; Z registered as pro-
hibitionist; 3 registered as moth
ing, refusing to go on record for
any political afiliation. This
makes the total registration to
date 347, not counting a few
blank "A's" from the country.
This is a poor showing for the
date and our voters should take
more interest in the matter.
We find that in the registration
to date that the republicans have
a majority of IS over the demo-
Gratis. Counting the total vote
cast in the county and taking the
above figures as a basis the re-
publican majority over the demo-
Gratis in Benton this year will be
from 300 to $50. Two years ago,
taking the vote cast for state
offices as a basis the republicans
had the better of it to- the ex-
tent of about 275.
In the four Corvallis precincts
250 are registered.

Name Not "Maud".

Hon. William Taylor, Of Mac
lay, was in the city Saturday
and reported having had a very
exciting time recently, says the
Salem Statesman. Hearing a
wild roar among his family Of
CANNES, he grabbed his gun and
struck out across lots to head off
what he supposed was at least a
bear. He finally sighted the
animal, which was making a gay
run for cover. 1t was a strange
animal in these parts, being very
loose and gangl1ng OF limb, long
on earlaps and shy of caudal ap-
pendage. Mr.. Taylor, however,
nothing daunted at the strange
ness of the animals appearance,
let go with his gun bringing it
down. Alter carefully approach
ing and assuring himself that
it was really dead and that it's
name was not Maud" he made
a careful examination of the
'critter" and found it to be what
is said to have been the first rab-
bit of the ''jack-ass'' variety
ever killed in Marion county
1t is supposed to have found life.
too scientific in Benton county,
where colony**of these members
of the Lepus Californicus are
said to have their habitat. In
fact, it is presumed the scientific
destruction OF all such animals
as are taught in the State Agri-
cultural College was too much
for this fellow, and he came over
to Marion county.

Now is the Time.

For pruning your fruit trees
and spraying this is the proper
time. In fact, right now is the
time it should be done. Some
of our orchardists are already al
the work of pruning, and spray
ing as we'll. Get the old, decay
ed, moss-covered wood out oil
your orchard. 1t never did any
good to allow it to remain on a
tree and never will. It is hot
bed for all sorts of pests and
breeds disease to the whole tree,
or the entire orchard for that
matter.
II you desire to spray for San
Jose. scale, now is the time such
work will be most effective. To
spray next summer will do little
or no good SO far as San Jose
scale On this years fruit is con-
cerned. 1t may exterminate cod
lin moths aud the like, but if
you are after San Jose scale, get
busy at once. There is no time
like the present.
The indi cations are that there
will be a number of men outfit
for the work of spraying and it
will not be necessary for every
one who has an orchard to go to
the expense Of preparing for the
work. For all who need any ad-
wise Prof. A. B. Cordley, of
OAC, who has been appointed
fruit inspector for this county,
will take pleasure in rendering
this assistance. So will Robert
Johnson, of this city, who is
prominently identified with the
fruit interests of Benton, do all
ID his power to assist in the work
of starting those who undertake
to spray.

After Two Centuries.

On the 18TH day of January
occurred bicentenary of Benjamin
Franklin, says the Scientific
American. Not only has poster
ity assigned TO him his rightful
position among the greatest and
ablest of Americans, but foreign
ers as well early recognized those
qualities of his masterly iutellect
which placed him among the
foremost statesmen and men of
science and letters. Undoubted-
ly his fame rests chiefly upon his
public career, his services to his
country as a statesman, diplomat,
and patriot. An historical figure
of international fame, his scienti-
hc attainments are overshadowed
by his political eminence. And
vet, the results of his scientific
researches and Investigations
easily place him in the very

front rank of scientific men of the

front rank of scientific men of the
world.
Few of US, indeed, have a
proper appreciation of Franklin's S
work in natural philosophy and
electricity. 1t is true that his
classic experiment to prove the
identity of lightning and electric
lily is known the world over
but so general is the ignorance OF
his other scientific labors, that
this great discovery is often re-
garded merely as a fortuitous
and chance occurrence. The
utter absurdity OF this beiief
needs no further proof that even
slight acquaintance with his
painstaking and unremitting
study in this as well as other
directions; and it is unquestion-
ably true that this experiment
was not the origin of a theory,
but that it was the eliminating
test of line of theoritica1 rea-
soning and investigation. Frank
Inns interest in things scientific
was limited in range only by the
limits of the knowledge of the
time. His splendid versatility
and intense interest in all phases
of human endeavor led him into
branches of knowledge where his
remarkably practical mind and
sound judgment produced con-
tributions to science of undisput-
ed value. So, his early investi-
cations of chimney drafts were
soon followed by the invention of
stove, which embodied the
principles of the modern hot-air
furnace and other devices of like
character.
