Washington. Nov. 2O.--"I take President Roose-

declared Senator Fulton. of Oregon. who arrived in
Washington to-day.
This declaration OF the Senator is of more i'm

that his colleague Senator Jonathan Bourne. is the

President Roosevelt should be nominated again.
When this fact called to Senator FUltons at

did not speak for the entire delegation in Congress

tary Taft will receive the support of the delega-

man that can be nominated In every way Mr..
Taft measures up TO the Presidency. Mr.. Bryan
will almost undoubtedly be nominated by the Demo

oddly Of the marriage Is In the fact

love of a sweetheart. They became be-

Prominent Farmer Estimates
Years Crop Will Average 10
Per Cent More Nutriment
SOFT CORN FOR FIVE YEARS
And Feeders Have Good Opportunity to
Mako Strong Comparison This Win
terstock Doing Well and Much of
II Is Rapidly Being Matured for the
Early Spring Market.

Farmers who are feeding cattle this
winter" said prominent farmer OF the
county, who was in the city Thursday
ARE finding that the 1906 crop of corn
Is yielding a much greater feed value
than at any time for five years past.
Any feeder who has had experience
during the past five years has an OPP
portunity to make strong comparison
this winter, and I have no doubt but
that all are finding the facts to be in
accordance with my assertion"
The feeding value of the corn this
year is estimated by the farmer quoted
as at least 10 per cent greater than in
any year during the past five. Il have
fed at least 10000 bushels every year
for five years, and know. how much
more OF the soft corn 1t has required to
finish cattle for the market.
This year." the farmer continued,
cattle are showing remarkable strides
in weight producing, and are In much
better shape than have known then,
for long time, considering the length
of time they have been fed. This is
due to the fact that this years crop
Of corn was fully matured. It shows
the glaze that indicates 1t to be full
of oil. and consequently shows It's bet
ter feeding qualities"
Considerable stock is being fed thru
out the county, altho some Of the farm
ers are not paying so much attention to
cattle this year as they are to hogs
, The same condition, as regards the
quality Of the corn In cattle feeding
applies to the maturing hogs. Cattle
which have been on feed only short
time are beginning to become rounded
out and will be ready for an early
spring market

DIFFICULTIES BOB
UP IN SETTLEMENT
Mayor Ingledue Has Struck a
snag In Settlement For
Asphalt Paving
- LAC RI nE OVERCOME
IT HAS TO BE OVERCOME
Mayor Has No List of Properties In
cIudsd in tho settlement, and Ono
Can Only BE Procured At Cost Of
Much Time and Labor-Mayor Will
Disburse the Cash.

Difficulties, which, however, 1t is be-
lieved, will be overcome, have been
encountered by Mayor o. L. Ingledue In
his attempt to settle with the Barber
Asphalt Paving Company and the
property owners interested. Mayor
Ingledue has notified the paving COM
pany that before he turns over to 1t the
certificates for North First and Sec
ond avenues, which were recently as
sessed, the paving company must pay
him the amount necessary to settle
with the property owners.
The Barber Asphalt Company has
asked how much it must pay, and there
in lies the difficulty, only obtainable
after much labor and searching Of the
tax records The transfer Of the cer-
tificates for North First and Second
avenues is set for January 10, and
Mayor Ingledue expects to be able to
give the paving company the amount
before that time.
The situation presents difficulties
because there are approximately 200
tax cases and properties involved, each
one representing an individual case
in itself. There are scarcely no two
that are exactly alike, so far as the
amount involved is concerned. There
is no list of the properties involved to
be had, and the only solution seems
to be that one must be prepared in the
county treasurer's office. This Treas
urer Cooper says means great deal OF
additional work, to be done out Of reg
ular office hours.
In some cases there are accrued pen
alties for paving taxes not paid that
must be refunded to the property own
er by the Barber Asphalt Company. In
other cases properties sold for taxes
must be redeemed by the paving COM
pany. In all cases the amounts involv-
ed are different.
Mayor Ingledue realizes that unless
all Of the money passes thru his hands
that some Of the property owners will
not receive that to which they are
entitled by the articles of agreement OF
settlement. For that reason COM
plete list, including names and
amounts, is to be prepared and the re-
fund to which each is entitled will pass
thru the mayors hands.
