Alas for poor Nowack, The experts
of the bureau of agriculture took up
his patented plant. They proved that
the movements of the leaves-to the

weather. but by the light. And thoy
proved that the plants famous down.

to ~foretell earthquake, was caused bv
an insect that punctured the stem.

CITY COUNCIL MEETS
Ordinance to Protect Public Sewers
and Regulate Tapping of Same
Read First Time.

Little business outside the regular
routine came up for consideration at
the city council meeting, Monday eve
ming. All the city officers were present
except Councilman Shaw.
The finance committee reported that
the Auditors and Treasurer's quar-
terly reports had been examined and
found correct, and the reports were
accepted
An ordinance providing for the pro-
lection Of public sewers and prescrib-
ing the manner of making connections
was read first time. The ordinance
provides that no tap shall be made
without permission from the city, and
the connection must be made under
the supervision Of the Street Com
missioner.
An ordinance to vacate a certain
street in the Shultz addition was post
poned for two weeks for further con-
sideration.
On motion of Councilman Ayres,
the ordinance committee was in
structed to prepare an ordinance pro-
viding for a more strict regulation OF
telephone and electric light companies
in the setting of poles and stringing
of wires.
The next regular meeting OF the
council will be held on Monday, March
5, at 7 80 p. m.

SERIOUS If TRUE
Claim Is Made That MOIalr in the
United States Is Steadily
Growing COarser.

In a personal letter to the editor Of
this paper, Mr.. U. s. Grant, Of Dallas,
Oregon, says: "You may think my
assertion, in the article written for the
American Sheep Breeder, that in the
last five years the mohair Of the
United States has grown 20 per cent
coarser is a little strong, but I have it
in black and white from one OF our
leading manufacturers that such is
the case"
Tfthe statement Of this manufacturer
is correct, the matter is certainly
very serious one. AS we have pointed
out many times in this paper, there is
no surer road to disaster in the Angora
goat industry than to permit the hair
to become coarse in fiber. There are
but few uses for coarse-flbered mohair;
there are many uses for fine-fibered
mohair. We think it probable that
| considerable of this increase Of coarse
/ ness in fiber may be due to the in
creasing number of goats kept where
they "live high" as it certainly does
appear to be a fact that a goat kept on
a scanty diet produces hair of finer
fiber than the same goat when it has
abundant suitable food throughout
the year Good feeding and fine hair
can, however, go together, as shown
by we'll fed Merino sheep. 1t is also
possible to breed Angora goats so as
to secure heavy fleeces Of fine hair,
but it is great deal easier to get in
crease in weight of fleece without pay
ing any attention to the matter Of
fineness Of fiber.
If it becomes possible for local buy
ers in mohair-producing districts to
discriminate properly in favor Of fine
mohair, it will be great help in pre-
venting the tendency to coarseness.
This seems to be matter which is not
easily accomplished, for both in South
Africa and in this country local buy
ers pay so nearly the same prices for
all grades Of mohair that the pro-
ducers of fine mohair are placed at
a relative disadvantage. In South
Africa the evidence seems quite con-
elusive that the result Of this has
been a deterioration in the average
quality of the mohair produced, taken
as a whole If MI. Grants informa-
tion is correct, the same deterioration
is going on in this country. Rural

Southern Pacific VIII Experiment Ia
Alfalfa Growing In Willamette
Valley.

H, E. Lounsbury, travelling freight
agent Of the Southern Pacific Com
pany, has purcha sed for the company
five acres near McMinnville. to be
used as an experiment for growing
alfalfa with the hope of promoting
dairylng interests.
Numerous other tracts throughout
the Valley, have been purchased by
the Southern Pacific for the same
purpose.
The object to be attained is, first, to
determine under what condition, and
in what sections of the Valley alfalfa
can be grown successfully, and,
second, to give as wide publicity as
possible to the results attained that
the farmers may have the benefit of
the company's experience where de-
sired
The company will furnish the seed,

after all three at my regular work,
but when payday came, l found my
check was the same old size.
They next proceeded to cut down
the force by laying off two men out Of
three, and forgetting to raise the pay
1 asked for higher wages or promotion
and got neither, but was informed
that was very useful where [ was
and that they hoped I could find still
more to improve. / Iquietly asked fol
change in my contract SO ! could
get my pay any time. This was very
graciously granted. In the annual
report of the manager he called atten-
ton to the fact that the cost of the
weighing was just one-third of what
it had formerly been and thathe hoped
to make still greater savings in the
labor cost I quit.
I found 1 could get the same wages,
work no harder and have 80 minutes
day more time to myself. l will
record one little oppression or in
justice that is worked on unorganized
labor in nearly all the big mills and
factories. Ten hours was days
work. They had the men go to work
Is minutes early each day, and thai
let them off at 4 o'clock on Saturday
afternoon one-half hour for noon
Their time cards each day would
show, however, ten hours instead oi
ten hours and fifteen minutes. Every
three or four weeks they would give
orders just before noon to close down
for the afternoon, and the cards would
go in for half day. The men would
be paid for 81 days, thus losing one
and one-half hours. At 17I cents an
hour on the wages of 1000 men, il
would amount to $262. -clear-cut
deliberate stealing from the men. II
a man made a kick about it, he was
quietly discharged.
When men form labor unions tC
regulate such things, and some man
or men among them does an unjust OF
foolish thing, how loud those in higt
places will howl! They say, and COZ
rectly too, that labor unions should bt
fair and honest. say that if EN-
ployers, and by that 1 do not NEAR

but l mean the big hired men who

measures, oppression and stealing

IT'S POUND OF FLESH
Government VIII Exact $1,000 Fine
from Late Senator Mltchells'
Scanty Estate.

Out Of the scanty estate of the late
Senator John H. Mitchell the United
States government will collect $1,000,
the amount Of the fine which formed
a part Of his sentence. By direction
of the solicitor of the national treasury,
formal notice has been served upon
Colonel David NJ. Dunno, admins
TRAITOR Of the estate, that the money
must be paid.
Senator Mitchells estate has been
appraised at about $500, while the
claims against it aggregate about
$4,000. The governments claim is
given by law preference over all otheI
debts save funeral expenses and ex-
penses Of administration, and will
therefore be paid in full Out Of the
residue Of the estate the remaining
creditors must be satisfied, and it is
estimated that they will be fortunate
If they receive 25 per cent out Of theil
claims.
