j. b. Dickover, owner of some 140O
acres of fruit land IL miles east of
Albany, and who is planting much
of his land to apples, is the first in
this vicinity to adopt modern methods
in farm tillage. He recently purchas-
ed large 40-horse power gasoline
engine, to which he has attached Il
gang of six stirring plows. Mr.. Dick
over began cultivating with this large
rig yesterday and seems to be getting
along nicely with the new order of
things. The Linnhaven Orchard Co,

Mr.. Dlckovers vicinity, is also consid-
ering the adoption of similar methods
in the cultivation of the Linnhaven

HEPPNER, Or, April 26.-Wher
the government census figures were
published, crediting Heppner with
only $50 people, the Booster Club de-
cided to make a recount. A commit
tee of the business men was appointed
to do the work. A careful canvass
was made and the result shows that
there are 1923 people in the city. The
lists were carefully checked over to
see that there was no duplication of
names. This is a remarkable show
ing when 1t is remembered that in
1903 more than 200 people were lost
in the flood, and that many more left
the town after their homes were de-
stroyed and some members of their
families were swept away.

INHERITANCE TAX TO LEAP
Treasurer to Demand Recording of
Face Value of Notes.

SALEM, Or, April 25.-Strict full
cash valuation appraisement of es-
tates falling under the inheritance tax
law will be required in the future by
State Treasurer Kay, according to a
statement given out by him today.
''The Treasurer's office hopes to
save from 20 to rs per cent on the in
come from inheritance taxes by in
creasing the taxes that much through
full valuation appraisement. AS an
example, recently an estate was filed
carrying large number of notes The
face value of the notes was recorded
and the appraised value was 25 per
cent less than the face value Repre-
sentatives of the estate said this re-
duction in appraisement was made be-
cause the face value could not be re-
allied at the banks. But they were
instructed to make a cash value ap-
praisement, which will mean an in
crease of 25 per cent in the amount of
taxes collected by the state. This
policy will be pursued entirely here
after by this office"

test.
Mrs. Meyers went before the court
recently and was allowed a raise in

month. She contended that she had
been accustomed to more money than
granted, and asked the court to al
low her $3.50 a month.

the court that she was accustomed to
more money than she was receiving, |

SEATTLE, April 26.-Eighty An
CORA goats put to work by the Puget
Sound Electric Company in clearing
its right of way between Seattle and
Tacoma are making good progress.
They are moving in the direction of
Seattle at the rate of a mile a month,
devouring the underbrush and attack
ing the roots of shrubbery along the
right of way of the interurban system
The company put the army of Angora
goats to work four months ago, and
the experiment has proved an abso-
lutte success. Their work has been so
thorough that they will not have to
repeat the trip over the 26 miles of
right of way. At the present rate at
which they are grazing along the in
terurban road they should reach Seat
tie in about year and half.
