Horse Maintains His Position.


The horse is always about to be, but

appearance of every new agency of
transportation the announcement is sol
EMMY made that the horse, after pass

wall cease and determine. 1t was so
when railroads began TO gain Roadway,
when bicycles came into use, when the
electric cars commenced to buzz along
the highways. when the auto developed
into something more than curiosity,
but yet here the horse Is still with us,
and more valuable than ever.
Statistics submitted to the House of
Representatives, in connection With the
agricultural appropriation BILL show
that there has been notable increase
both in the number and value OF horses
In the United States in the last nine
years. The aggregate of horses Jan.
l. 1906, stood at 1S,71S,57S. against
1885,. 667 at the corresponding date Of
1897 Their total value increased from
S452, 649396 in 1897 to $3.50, $50, 9O6.
This startling rate of increase In
value IN no more marked than that of
mules, according to the same govern
ment authorities There were 2.216.-
654 mules in 1897 and 3,1O4 Dol IN
1906. and the values were. respectively,
500, 302,OO0 and 1884. 6S0,520.

To Get Rid of Cockleburs.

A correspondent of farm paper
says:
Cockleburs can only be exterminated
by pulling up the last one of them in
held for two years running. The
necessity for the two-year treatment is
accounted for from the fact that every
cccklebur, according to our correspond
eat contains two seeds, one of which
will grow the first year and the other
one the second. by planting corn for
two years running, and taking great
care not to leave single plant in the
field, 1t is claimed they can be exter.
minated.

Producing Denatured Alcohol.
IF a farmer or other person desires
to go into the business of manufacture
ing denatured alcohol, at plant how
ever small" says Internal Revenue
Commissioner Yerkes, she will be re-
quired TO construct his plant in the
manner prescribed by the general laws
and regulations. He will be required
to give bond, the effect of which is to
prevent him from defrauding the gov
eminent of the tax on any. distilled
spirits produced by him. He will be
required to establish a distillery ware
house; TO deposit the spirits produced
by bim in this warehouse to establish
denaturing bonded warehouse, and to
tax pay or denature. just as he may
wish, the alcohol produced by him. All
of this will be done under government
al supervision, but the government pays
for this supervision. The manufacture
of alcohol does not bear one cent of it.
There is no objection to farmer man
ufacturiUg his alcohol In his back yard
provided he wants to establish a dis
tillery there. If you will take the trou-
BILE to investigate you will find In my
opin on, that the laws and regulations
relating to the manufacture of alcohol
in Germany do not differ to any great
extent from the laws and regulations
in this country"

FIRST HOUSES IN LINN.
Willamette Valley Grange Makes His
tOrical InUuirieS

Mart Miller, chairman of the COM
mittee appointed by Harmony grange
to learn who built the first log and
frame houses in Linn county for res
idence reported to the grange at its
regular meeting, says the Albany Her
aid. He has made a thorough study
of the subject at considerable trou-
BILE, and is satisfied he is right in his
conclusions.
According to Mr.. Miller, the first
log house was built by John Pack
wood, four miles from Scio on the
Lebanon road, in the summer of 1874.
Mr.. Packwood was an immigrant of
1S43. The place was sold to ]. ].
Crabtree in the spring of 1S46, and
the fact is authenticated by Newt and
other Crabtrees. George II. Hines
Oregons historian, doubts the cor
rectness OF this, but Mr.. Miller is sat
isfied 1t is correct.
The first frame building was erect
ed by Judge Baber on the present
farm of Henry Haight, near Millers
in 1S46, Mr.. Baber that year coming
up the valley from further north. He
did the work himself, including the
making of the lumber.

At last the mystery surrounding
the murder of the unknown man
brought here from Umatilla recently
seems TO be solved, and If the evil
dence now in the hands of Sheriff
Taylor holds good the crime will be
laid at the feet of johnson and Ran
kin, new under arrest in Portland.
Both men were arrested by the Port
land police several days ago for COM
plicity in the recent robbery of the
Sellwood postoffice. Apparently the
evidence connecting them with the
crime Is very meagre, but If 1t now
proves true that they are the Umatilla
murdercrs their arrest will prove a
fortunate event.
The murdered man was a railroad
laborer from the north bank road and
with fellow workmen had been at
Umatilla for several days. One day
he was found in a dazed condition
and said he had been robbed. How
ever, he refused to divulge the names
Of his assailants. saying he had mere
ly been in row and that he believed
the men would give him the money
back. The next day he became de.
lirious and was brought to this city.
He died at the poor farm a few days
later without ever making his identity
known.
At the time OF the affair suspicion
fell upon two men who had been fire.
quently seen with the unknown
around Umatilla. After the crime
they disappeared, and until yesterday
all efforts to locate them were in vain.
When he saw the pictures of johnson
and Rankin in the oregonian, Mar
shal Kelly of Umatilla recognized
them as the companions of the dead
man. He notified Sheriff Taylor of
the fact and that officer went to
Urnntilla yesterday to learn what more
he could of the case. In the meantime
he wired the Portland police to hold
the men upon the charge from this
county.
Aside from the general suspicion
that the man was murdered by his
companions, direct proof is furnished
Hy a painter who claims he saw the
robbery. At the time he and the
other men were in a box car and he
saws that when he heard the squabble
between the two men and their vic
tim he struck q match and raised it
up. He was Immediately covered
with a gun and told to lie down. He
did so. The next day he told the
marshal of what he knew, but by that
time the two men had gotten away.
The proposition before the sheriff
now is TO gather his witnesses, and
he is engaged in looking them up.
Should enough be available to make a
case and the Identification of the two
men hold good, they will be charged
with murder.

REMOVAL OF HEADQUARTERS.
And Other Issues Discussed by Grant

Another illustration Of the strangle
hold which the outside sheepmen have

vision of the Blue Mountains reserve

territory is included. And while
moving headquarters, why not take it

DUNIwAY PROTECTS THE STATE.
Recommendation OF State Printer VIII
Save $4,000.

II believe that I am the only state
printer who has ever appeared before
a legislative body, and recommended
a measure that would take money out
of his own pocket. You will remem-
Der that 1 criticised the form Of the
calendar last year, and recommend
one that would answer the purpose
just as well, for about so per cent less
in cost. The one I would have you
adopt has the names of the represen-
tatives introducing the bill in black
type, so that they can be found in a
moments glance, the title follows,
with disposition of bill below it.
trust that you gentlemen, will adopt
this calendar during the present ses-
sion."
State Printer Duniway made the
above remarks in the house Wednes-
day morning, in reference to the print
ing of the calendar for the present as
sembly, says the Salem Statesman.
His address followed a debate on the
question of the kind of a calendar
that should be adopted, and it looked
for time previous to his appearance
on the scene, as If the resolution
would be shelved, but his convincing
argument brought about harmonious
decision, and the resolution was
rushed through with a unanimous
vote.
Mr.. Jackson of Douglas, gave the
figures on the cost of the printing of
last years calendar, which was s9,-
942.75 for the house, and $7,4sS.62 for
the senate, making a total of $17,430.
He stated that the printing of the cal
endar recommended by Mr.. Duniway
would save the legislature about so
per cent of this amount, or between
$4,000 and $4,000 to the taxpayers OF
| Oregon.

over into Washington. where sheep
men are anxious to cross the border
for pasturage? The difference is one
of. degree, not kind.
Another feature of the regulations
is extremely unfair and disastl Gus to
the county. II stock is not allowed
on the reserve until we'll along in June,
home growers who now have but their
home pastures for stock, will be COM
PEELED to keep stock herein during
the spring and early summer. T,.is
will utterly destroy all chances for
fall range. and render necessary the
the entire year. Such course is i'm
possible and the only alternative is to
sell off all their stock except a few
head of farm animals.
And while the stock is kept from the
ranges one of the most succulent for
age grasses which grows on open hill,
grows, ripens and dies. utterly un-
used. This is the short summer grass
which would have supported many a
head of sheep and cattle.
The third grievance which stands in
immediate need OF correction ls con-
tinually added areas to reserved lands.
The eastern and southern parts of the
county were included in the original
reserve, and now the northern part is
added, with practically no release
ments. Only upon consideration that
these lands should be made to earn
revenues for the county after admin
istrative expenses are paid, can the
policy result in anything but disaster.
These three points may well be
made the basis of a monster petition
to federal authorities. Senator Lay
cock and others are using their influ-
ence to have these wrongs righted,
and It would be great aid to them to
have the backing of every legitimate
interest in their appeal to the depart
ment.

While the people of Washington
want local option law, 1t is doubtful
II the legislature passes such a law.
A special correspondent at Olympia
says of the situation in the legislature:
Local option advocates are going to
put up to the legislature early in the
session the bill, drafted along the lines
Of the Oregon act, that the temperance
forces want to put through the legis-
lature.
The liquor interests have been con-
fident Of defeating the local option
bill, placing their faith in the senate.
A surface analysis OF the senate men,
bership would indicate that this con-
fidence is pretty well placed. The
liquor interests sounded most Of the
candidates Of the upper house when
they were nominated and polled the
hold-overs either directly or through
their friends.
1t is declared that Harry Rosen-
haupt of Spokane. will lead the fight
in the senate against the local option
bill. Some of Rosenhaupt's closest
friends are engaged in the wholesale
liquor business and he Is understood
to be committed to the protection of
their interests.
One Of the peculiarities OF the new
senate organization is that Rosen-
haupt lined up with some OF the
strongest advocates of the focal option
measures. His early affiliation has
been with Cotterill, Metcalf Boone,
Bratt and Reed, who are regarded as
the strongest advocates OF local op-
ton in the senate. This has aroused
some feeling among the men that will
have to be depended upon to defeat
the measure. Rosenhaupt, however,
may shift the responsibility for the re-
suit to someone else.
1t is likely the local option bill will
be seriously considered by some i'm
portant committee in each house.
The senate adopted a suggestion OF
Lieutenant Governor Coon that the
committee on public morals and the
committee on miscellaneous be abol-
ished
In the past these have been dump
ing grounds of reform bills doomed
to be smothered in committee. BY the
adoption of the majority rule, a bill
strong enough to pass, can easily be
brought out of a committee. In the
house the bill will be treated with the
same seriousness.

JACK MATTHEWS LEAVES STATE.
Corrupt Portland Politician Goes to
California.

1T is stated that w. F. Matthews,
Familiarity known in Oregon politics as
Jack Matthews, is about to leave
Oregon and take up his abode in San
Francisco, where he will enter the
brokerage and commission business
with I. L. Patterson, former collector
of customs, says the Salem Statesman.
Mr. Matthews has been a potent
factor in state politics for several
years and is a man in whom his
friends have the utmost confidence,
though he has many political enemies
who believe that he stands for every
thing disreputable in that line of ac-
ton.
He has been a successful organizer
and a keen manipulation, having made
and unmade a number of aspirants
for public preferment. His greatest
failure in many years was during the
past month, when his attempted ma
nipulation Of the legislature turned
out the merest fiasco.

ENGINEER LEWIS WINS.
Battle for Better Irrigation Law Prac-
tically Won.

Everybody is familiar with the
miles of controversy. the long bitter
fight, and the final victory of the
state engineers office over the effort
to repeal certain sections of the law
fathered by land corporations, and
passed as the Carey act in 1905, says
the Salem Statesman.
While the victory is not as yet final,
State Engineer Lewis has won his ar
guments, and practically all of the
legislature over to his conclusions
that the Carey act has many flaws in
it that should be stricken out. A des-
perate fight Is being waged by sup
portcrs of the act, and the land corpo-
rations, and in order to meet their
ends, have resorted to every strategy
known by them.
They have piled the members of
the legislature with literature. argu-
ments and threats In one of the
hotel lobbies In Portland document
was discovered, marked "Anony-
NOUS" 1t was a volumnious affair
Of many typewriter pages, setting
forth in painful details what fatal
thing II would be to repeal the Carey
act. At the head of the article is the
! following. which is a direct attack on
state Engineer Lewis:
1T is proposed by State Engineer
John II. Lewis to repeal the law ac-
ccptcd as the Carey act, passed by
the state legislature in 1901, and
substitute in the place of same. new
law which is outlined to be a serious
blow to prevent reclamations under
the Carey act.'
While the battle is practically won
as far as the repeal of the above law
is concerned, as it is understood near
ly every member of both houses now
have their eyes upon the real contents
of the same, yet 1t shows the under
handed manner in which the hold-up
corporations are going to contest, the
fight.

New York, April 1 Two men are believed to have lost their lives in a collision in the North river to-day when the tug John D.

Four members of the tugs crew were saved, after jumping over- board, but they suffered severely from exposure and were taken to Bellevue hospital. The ferryboat suffered little damage.

 The tugboat attempted to cross the course of the ferryboat just as the latter approached the slip on the New York side of the river in a thick snowstorm. The ferryboat struck the tug amidships, smashed a hole in its side and keeled it over so that the water rushed into the engine room. The four men who were on the tugs cabin.
