Country Butter Still Scarce.
Only the advent of grass will bring
more country butter of the choice kind
to local consumers. Country butter is
still hard to get and it will be some
weeks yet before 1t will be plentiful
Meantime those who have contracte j
for the country article are shaking
hands with themselves that the farm
ers or the farmers, wives must furnish
them butter at contract prices no mat

on the local market.

HARDY CATALPA FOR PROFIT
RESULTS OF AN EXPERIMENT IN
PAwNEE COUNTY.

PAWNER COUNTY.
HffT. HHffT C. 9. Robinson, prominent
merchant at Pawnee City, Nebraska,
has recently completed very inter
esting experiment In the growing Of
hardy catalpa. In 1889, he purchased a
small tract three miles northeast of
Pawnee City, and Immediately put
plans under way to plant twenty
acres to cat2lpa-

1889, on ground which had been care
lessly farmed for some years. and
was very much run down. The remain
ing thirteen acres were planted in the
spring of 1890 This portion of the
tract had been in virgin prairie sod
until the spring Of 1889, when 1t was
broken out and allowed to stand idle
until the following year. The ground in
both cases was put in a thorough state
Of cultivation Immediately before the
trees were planted. The trees, which
were one year old when set out, were
spaced four by four feet, thus requir-
ing twenty-seven hundred and twenty
two trees per acre. The plantations
were cultivated the same as corn the
first two years. After that no further
care was given them, except that few
acres were pruned several years later.
The plantation was always protected
against fire and live stock.
The entire plantation was harvested
In January and February 1906. Since
seven acres were planted in the spring
of 1889 and thirteen acres In the spring
Of 1890, the average age Of the grove
was approximately sixteen and one
third years. The owner has kept a
strict account of all expenses incurred
In establishing, maintaining, and har-
vesting this plantation, as well as of
all proceeds. and the figures following
are taken from his records.

AURORA HOP NOTES.
Hop Acreage Is Increasing In That
Ncighborhood.

Aurora, Or, May S.-The only
buying in the hop markets of this
section is what Henry l.. Bents, of
this place, is doing This week he
bought 200 bales of hops from Au-
rora and st. Paul parties at 6 ~ and
Z cents. The hops are for immedi-
ate shipment to England. Rain Is
badly needed in this section for all
kinds of crops. The ground is so dry
that 1t is impossible TO cultivate
hops. As far as your correspond MT
can learn from those who are post
ed in the matter. but very few hop
yards have been abandoned or
plowed up in this district. On the
contrary. more acreage is being put
in The big growers take p cheerful
view of the outlook. and, while not
anticipating any large prices this
season, they think the crop will
bring a good, reasonable price.

kERNAGHAN WINS FIGHT
ON DOUBLE ASSESSMENT
Council of Crown City, Despite Pre-
vlous Adoption of Report, Up-
holds Former Assessor
and Supporters

PASADENA, Oct. 22.-Former CITY
Assessor George +. Kernaghan today
won his contest in opposition to the
widening of Wilson avenue, when the
council changed its attitude toward the
report of the commission fixing the
boundaries of the assessment district.
which had already been accepted.
Two weeks ago the council voted to
uphold men selected to award damages
and benefits, although Mr.. Kernaghan
and several of his neighbors opposed the
move. The commission included in the
assessment district all the adjacent terri
tory included in the proposed improve
ment of the street, from Colorado to
Arden road.
However, six months ago owners of
property between Del Mar and San Pas
qual streets paid assessments for i'm
proving that portion of the thorough
rare and they sought to avoid a second
assessment. Mr.. Kernaghan owns ten
acres on Wilson avenue and persistentlv
fought the double assessment.
The council today awarded to r. r.
Kfeuln contract to furnish 500 carbons
for alternating current lamps and 5000
cored carbons. at cost of $3OS.5O III. l..
Miller secured the contract for 200 sIx
teen candle power Westinghouse mean
descent lamps at cost of $177.5O.
The awarding of the contract for trans
formers for the lighting plant was de-
ferred until test will have been made OF
the goods submitted.
Neighbors have protested against the
operation of a laundry at Morton avenue
and Mountain street. The complaint will
be dealt with by the sanitary committee.
