No More Typhoid.

The typhoid fever epidemic will no
be likely to break out in Eugene again
if the people will be careful, in fol
lowing the directions of the Lane county
Medical society which, at meeting a
few days ago, passed the following reso-
lutions;
Resolved, that in view of the fact that
a great many of the wells of the city be-
ing contaminated and that an influx of
river water having been introduced into
the mains of the water system it is the
sense of this meeting that all water use g
for domestic purposes should be
thoroughly boiled before using. Another
important resolution was this:
Resolved, that it is the sense of this
society that the CITY water used in the
city of Eugene should be examined
each week by com ,,etent authority and
that the report of said examination
should be published each week, and
that a COPY of this resolution be sent to
hem aycr and also to the water COM
pany.
Another resolution was to the effect
that the council should provide for the
appointment of a permanent water COM
mission, whose duty it shall be to act In
the matter of securing pure water.
Prof. Sweetser of the University OF
Oregon made very interesting talk to
| the society and stated that analyses oi
the water used in Eugene were being
made in his department and that i. was
his purpose to continue this work, He
stated further that some of the advanced
students who were making these anaiy-
ses, were meeting with opposition from
owners of wells, VIII, refused to allow
the to take "a npies of water from their
wells, for the reason tnat they thought
these stllents vera in league with the
water company and wanted to condemn
4 the wate- so as 70 make them use thu
city water.

Horticultural society, Prof. E. R.
Lake of this city receives the fol-
lowing notice in the "Agricul-
turist:''
In point OF service as an Off
Ger of the Oregon State Horti-
cultural society Secretary E. R.
Lake closely follows DR.. Card
well. He intended to decline re-
election, but the emphatic way
in which the society insisted that
he keep the harness induced him
to keep on with the good work.
The members of the State So
ciety know what he has done aud
do not want to lose his services
as long as it is possible to per-
suade him to keep on with the
work of secretary. The society,
however, recognized the fact that
the growth of the society made
it necessary to provide a cores
ponding secretary to relieve Prof.
Lake of part OF the work he has
been doing.

The county treasurer shall issue
nontaxable. certificates, which
shall certify the sum assessed
against each tract of land, and
the sum is to be paid in six equal
installments. The property
owner NAV take six years to pay
these certificates, or the entire
amount may be paid at one time.
The certificates are to draw E per
cent interest.
Road Improvements under the
Johnson law are to be taken up
in the order in which they are
tiled. 1t is provided, however,
that state aid will not be extend
ed 10 exceed the sum of $40, 900
to any one county until all the
other counties have had a reason
able chance to make application
for state aid. To prevent run
ming up gigantic bills against the
state, the measure provides fur
ther. that the total amount ex-
pended by the state under the
provisions of the act, including
the salary and expenses of the
road engineer and the commis-
sion, shall not exceed in any one
year an amount equal to one half
of one mill assessed against all
taxable property of the state. Be-
ginning with the levy OF 1908,
the proper state authorities are
authorized to include this tax
along with other state taxes.
If they deem it xpedient, the
road engineer and the state high
way commission can purchase
rock quarries at CONVENIENT
places throughout the state, when
such ar found to be needed, the
convenience of shipping facilities
must always be taken into con-
sideration. Convict labor may
be employed. to work in these
quarries.
One of the missions of the
Johnson bill is to have the Off
GERS created by it compile statis-
tics on road work in Oregon; the
number of miles improved, the
best material to be used with re-
spect to localities, and all infor.
nation which will be of assist.
ance in giving Oregon first-class
highways.

AN ELECTRIC ROMANCE.
Groom and Bride Too Wise for
Telephone Crowd-The Joke.

There is huge joke going
the rounds just now, in which
the entire force at the Independ-
ent telephone Office figures. 1t
happened Thursday, when Geo.
Hines and bride arrived from
Portland on the noon train.
Their arrival was expected aud
j c. Lowe and his employees
planned rousing reception for
the bridal couple.
Armed with $1.65 wort; of
rice. and with the cab and
prancing livery team, the tele-
phone people made their way to
the S. P. depot aAd awaited the
arrival of the train on which the
happy pair were to come. 10
due time the engine hove in sight,
soon the train slowed into the
station, and the expectaut crowd
hurried forward, all smiles and
rice, and eagerly scanned the
faces Of those who alighted from
the coaches. But alas! no happy,
blushing bride nor proud, hand
some bridegroom appeared, and
with longer faces than usual the
Independent telephone people
meandered back down town, rice,
cab and all, a woetully disap-
pointed crowd.
But the bride and groom came
on the train as expected. From
a car window the groom viewed
the depo. platform from afar as
the train pulled into Corvallis,
and with a word to his bride they
slipped from the train on the side
opposite the depot and hurried in
to the H. c. Mangas confection-
cry store, where they remained
quietly out of sight until Mr..
Lowe and his employees had de-
parted for town.
A worse beaten crowd has not
been seen in Corvallis in long
time than the one which would
have given welcome to Mr.. and
Mrs. Hines, but they wisely oin
in the general laugh and candid
ly admit their defeat.
The wedding occurred in Port
land Wedn esday, the bride hav.
ing travelled all the way from
Michigan to meet and wed Mr..
Hines, who is a Michigan man.
He came to Oregon about a year
ago and is employed by the In
dependent telephone company.
| Mr.. and Mrs. Hines are room
ing at the William Crees home
and they have the good wishes
o. many friends for their future
happiness.

of New MeXicos here today. These
were composed OF high grade feeders
m iinly. weighing close to 800 lbs, black
cattle, selling at $i.45, and reds at
SIPS, The market on country kinds
is now Mt the hes. point touched this
winter. Top fed steers are selling at
$3.50 to Sc. %, medium class fed steers
SiS5 to S55 So Colder weather and
n,rmal receipts will soon put the cattle
market on firm basis as the decline

round them out nicely, sell readily at
$e.25 to $50, buyers substituting them
for courser grades of lambs. Receipts

Territorial Travelling Auditor
Chas. V. Stafford certified to the
boards of county commissioners
of the counties of New Mexico as
to the classification Of the respec.
tive counties in accordance with
the provisions of sections and 7,
chapter 60, laws of 1905, entitled
Act to regulate the classification
of the counties and fixing the
salaries of certain county officials
thereof.
This classification is based on
the cash RENTED to the terrific
rial treasurer during the fiscal
year closing Nov. 80 last and
which was collected by the county
treasurers under the levy certi-
fed by the territorial auditor for
the year 1905. Bernalillo, Chaves,
Colfax and San Miguel are in
class "a" Grart,in class b."
Dona, Anna, Eddy, Luna, Otero,
Socorro, Union and Valencia in
class &c" Santa Fe and Sierra in
Glass ID, land Guadlupe, Lincoln
Mckinley, Moro, Quay, Rio Arri-
ba, Roosevelt, Sandoval, San Ju-
an, Taos and Torrance in class
"E."
A comparison of the collections
between years of 1905 and 1906
discloses the fact that the condi-
tions of the counties are in much
better shape at the present time
than a year ago. The aggregate
collections under the territorial
levy during the year Of 1905 which
was fifteen mills, amounted to
$3.50, 235. AZ at the end of the
fiscal year. For the present y ar
as is indicated by the following
classification and which is made
under a territorial levy of IA
mills, the aggregate collections
for territorial purposes was $493-
345. 43, showing a largely in
creased return on a decreased
levy. This is a creditable show
ing and one of which the terri.
tory can well be proud and is no
doubt largely the result of the
effective work done by Travel
ing Auditor Stafford.
Following is the classification
of counties and amounts received
from each:

Tom Hall, the leading cattle

A Bardin, of Grant county,
has been appointed inspector by
the Cattle Sanitary Board in
place of sheriff-elect Don john
son, who retires with the rep

cellent officer.
Henry Broch, so well known as
not to require designation, came
in from his ranch in Dona Ana
county Monday. Henry has been
living so long near the Mexican
line that he looks like a Spanish
Don.
George Chessman, the Denver
cattle buyer, who has been a
purchaser Of feeders in this Sec

The cattlemen, representing
nearly every section of Grant
county. met here Wednesday and
agreed that they would hold steer
yearllngS n Sli for spring sales.
They claim, and with reason,
that the seasons are more favor
able, that their yeaylings have a
better growth, fuller ages and bet
ter bred than ever before and
that the prices of beef in the
great markets justify better
prices for the rangeman. Silver
City Enterprise.
The cattlemen Of this section,
it isunderstood, will have a large
number of one, two and three
year Odds for sale in the spring.
The ccwmen Of this part of the
territory will undoubtedly hold
cut for an advance of 81 per
head over last years prices,
which will be Sli for ones, SIT
for twos, and $50 for three year
olds,
Money invested in sheep will
nearly double itself in one year,
since the fleece will pay for the
feed and care Of the sheep, and
the lambs, often two per eve, are
the profit. It's estimated that you
can keep ten sheep where you
can keep one COW, and the risk
becomes much less. The sheep
always carries her pocketbook
with her. If she dies, her pelt of
fleece pays funeral expenses. If
she lives her wool in the spring
and her lambs in the fall pay dou-
BILE revenue. No other stock pays
as large a percentage of clear
profit on money invested.
George Carraway, a cowboy
employed on the ranch Of Fred
Spencer, short distance from
Carlsbad, met with a peculiar
