GUS title for their country estates
| should get busy, as in the hurry ano
| confusion of the last hours of the late
demented Legislature, it failed to
make provision for the appointment
of a commission to compile a suitable
list.
Farm names are not only popular
and desirable, but are becoming nec-
essary as a matter of business, and it
was to give them suitable legal pro-
lection that Senator c. L. Hawley in
troduced the bill. Its provisions are as
follows:
Amy farm owner in this state may,

the County Court in the county in
which said farm is located, have the
name of his farm duly recorded in a
register which the County Clerk shall
keep for said purpose, and shall be
furnished certificate issued under
seal and setting forth the name and
location of the farm and the name of
the owner thereof; provided, that when
any name shall have been duly record
ed as the name of any farm, such
name shall not be recorded as the
name of any other farm in the state,
except by prefixing or adding desig-
mating words thereto.
Provided, further, that the said
County Clerk shall, upon application
by any farm owner in this state for
registration of the name of his farm,
and the payment to said County Clerk
of the sum of 81, as above set forth,
communicate with the Secretary of |
State, who shall also keep register of
the names of farms registered under
this act, and if, upon application to
said Secretary of State, it shall appear
to said county clerk that the name
sought to be registered has not already
been appropriated for said purpose,
said county clerk shall register said
name and furnish to said farm owner
certificate as provided in this section.
Il said name so sought to be registered
shall have been substantially appro-
then the said farm owner
hall be so notified by said County
Clerk, and said farm owner shall be
lllowed without additional expense or
harge, to submit another or other
lames until he shall have secured and
egistered a name for his said farm.
1T shall be the duty of the County
'lerk upon the final registration Of
aid name to transmit to the Secre-
airy of State the names appropriated
nd registered, and said Secretary of
tate shall keep record of all such
ames in a register which he shall ,

The Polk County Mohair Association
set the pace for the market SATURDAY.
afternoon, when 1t disposed of this
| years clip at 351s cents to H. L. Fen.
ton, the highest bidder. This is the
best price offered since 1903, when the
pool sold for 38 5-S cents, and as it is
estimated that there are SO, 900 pounds
represented in the sale, it means the
distribution of net sum of $17,5OO
among the growers whose fleeces are
| included.
The bidding started at 80 cents and
quickly jumped to 32, then to 33, when
1t began to lag. The next offer was
SSh. and it went by halves from
there to 35. The next bid was better
by quarter, followed by a bid Of
35 3-8. The final offer of 35 u quickly
closed the contest, and the unsuccess-
full buyers retired from the room. A
sales committee, consisting of e. L.
Harris, t, B. Stone, T. G. Richmond.
j. l. Reasoner and j. w. Lee had been
appointed, and the matter of accepting
the bid was referred to them. They
retired to consider the question. and
within a short time reported that they
did not think there was any chance of
getting better price, and they were
willing to ratify the sale. The rep .rt
of the committee was adopted.
Resignation Not Accepted.
]. H. Brown acted as chairman of
the meeting and conducted the sale
as auctioneer. About 80 members of
the association were there. A number
of out-of-town buyers were present, |
among them being Herman Metzger, |
of Metzger & Company, Portland
Theo Burnheim, of Burnheim & Com
pany, Portland; and both members of
the firm of William Brown & Son, of
Secretary H. L. Fenton wanted to
resign his Office and said so, but the
did not seem to see 1t in
that way, and no action was taken.
Il have served this association to the
best of my ability for the past 10 or
