Disease Kills Cattle.

MagnoIia.-The disease which caused
the death of t~hirty-two of the registered
Hereford cattle brought here for breed

the veterinary surgeons who treated the
animals, say that the cause OF death
was the Texas cattle tick fever, hasten
ed perhaps by indigestion caused from
eating refuse from the sugar cane mo-
lasess mill to which the stock had ac
cess.

CAR SHORTAGE FELT.
Movement of Prison Cotton Retarded
by Lack of Facilities.

Jackson.-Col. w. A. Montgomery,
henitentiary trustee for the first dis.
trict, reports a rather peculiar state Of
things. The trustees have sold, at re.
m]unerative prices, something like $500
bales of the 1912 crop of cotton. or
about half the crop. Notwithstanding
this, less than half The money which
this cotton represents has been paid in,
owing to the difficulty experienced in
getting the cars whercwith to ship it
to destination. The terms of sale are
for payment on receipt of bills Of lad,
ing indicating delivery of the cotton to
the railroad, and as the railroads have
not been able to supply the cars the
payments are therefore tied up.

MILL TO INSTALL.
NEW WHEEL
SWEENEY BROS. TO INCREASE
CAPACITY TO MEET DEMANDS.
New Improvements viii Add to Power
Season Declared Best For Years.

In order to increase the capacity of
their mill and meet the demands
made upon it by the farmers and
others of Polk county, Sweeney
Bros, of the Dallas FIGURING mill will
soon begin the improvement and re-
modelling of their institution. Among
the new improvements will be water
wheel which will materially increase
the capacity of their plant. The
wheel will be one of the latest i'm
proved models manufactured at
Springfield, Ohio, and known as the
Trump system"
I'VE have never done a better bus
mess than during the past fall" said
James Sweeney to The Observer the
other day. I'm fact our capacity was
not sufficient to handle the demands
made upon us and we have found it
necessary time and again, to turn
bility to get out the orders. The
new wheel which we will install will
increase our power and our capacity.
The present wheel was installed
probably 80 years ago and is of an
cient design and practically worn out,
and built upon modern plans. We
expect to do the work during the win
ter and have everything in readiness
for operation in increased capacity
next season." &"

immigration commission a splendid
exhibit of Oregon products has been
sent to the land shows to be held at
