LAST OF A SERIES.
Concluding Concert By Band Is High
ly Appreciated.

Last evening wound up the series
of the Dallas Band concerts that have
been so very entertaining the past
winter. The Observer questions if
there ever was as much given for the
money as in these concerts. The pro-
gram each time has been different,
and not only local but outside talent
has been hired by the band boys at
great expense. The concert Wednes-
day evening was well attended, and it
was with a feeling of regret to the
large audience present that this was
the end of the season S concerts. AS
suggested in a recent issue of The
Observer, it would be wise thing
to give the band a benefit, and we
trust that some step will be taken to
show that the efforts of the home
band is appreciated. The following
was the excellent program given:
March, composed, arranged and
dedicated to Dallas band by James
A, Hall; selection, band; piano solo,
Miss Stella johnson; selection, band;
encore, Anvil Polka with electrical
effects; baritone solo, Crooked in

strel Medley" Dallas Band Orches-
ira; encore. "Where's s That Dog gone,
Dog gone Dog of Mine 2" "The Battle
of San Juan HILL" band; encore,
Frenstone's Fighting Twentieth;"
march, "The Ghost of the Violin,'
band.
Director Downey, on behalf of the
Dallas band, expressed his apprecia-
tion of the assistance given at the
concert Wednesday evening by Miss
johnson. Her number certainly add
ed much to the entertainment.

DRIVES AWAY MONEY
PRESENT MORTGAGE TAX RE.
TARDS OREGON PROGRESS.
Commercial Organizations of State
Now Considering It's Repeal
Next Wednesday.

The commercial organizations Of
Oregon have been requested by thu
Commercial club of Eugene to express
their opinion on the present tax laws
the latter having decided to lead 6
movement to secure at the next ses
sion of the legislature the repeal OF
the present law under which mort.
cages, rates, land contracts and sim.
liar evidences of credit are taxed
There is little doubt, it is thought
that it will pass, as it is generally
realized that the present tax laws re-
suit in driving great deal of money
out of Oregon.
The way the tax on mortgages,
notes, contracts and other evidences
of credit works out is illustrated by
transaction that took place some
years ago near Eugene, and told by
The Register. Two men. newcomers
from the East, bought farm not far
from here. The deal amounted in all
to about $4,000. and they had $4,000
to pay down. The seller was willing
to let the remaining $4,000 run at
five and one-half per cent if he did
not have to pay taxes on it, but re-
fused to accept mortgage because
he knew that mortgages We're taxed
1t was finally compromised by the
buyers taking contract for a deed
and agreeing to pay the taxes if the
contract were ever assessed

CHERRY EATING BIRDS.
Professor Sykes Makes An Interest
ing Statement.

Only two kinds of birds destroy
cherry blossoms so far as observed
by Professor George Sykes, of the
Agricultural College, during a seven
day investigation. These are the Cal
ifornia purple-iinch and the English
sparrow.
For seven days" says Professor
Sykes, "evcry bird that was seen in
Il cherry tree was put under inspec-
tiuu. In only two cases was there
any room for suspicion. To confirm
this evidence some of the birds were
shot and their Stomachs examined.
The birds killed and the contents of
their stumachs were as follows;
Seven California purple-linch, cher
ny blossoms 100 per cent; one Of the
same. legs of Carahid
One English sparrow. cherry bios
SONS 100 per cent
One pine Siskiu. 36 rag weed seeds,
S confer seeds, and grit % per cent.
One blue bird. beetle fragments 100
per cent.
One flicker. wood boring termits,
80 per cent, black ants.
One Oregon towee, beetles. 30 per
cent. one clover seed. trash, grit.
1T is thus seen that several birds
have been wrongly accused. Robins.
hluehirds. goldiinches. pine siskins and
other extremely beneficial birds have
been shot. 1t seems almost proverb-
ial that man never knows his own
luck. "

NEW HATCHING DEVICE.
Hot Water Bottle, Doctor and Woman
Saves Setting.

Mrs. w. H. Cross of Salem proved
that necessity it not only the mother
of invention, but that it may be the
mother of chickens, says a correspon-
dent to the Oregonian. She had a
setting of eggs from fine variety of
chickens. SO happy was she in their
possession, that she all but counted
the chicks before they were hatched.
She was equally downcast, naturally,
when the hen, after - days of care
full setting'', deserted the nest.
Mrs Cross found the eggs before
they became chilled and breath!essly
placed them in box behind the stove
in her Hving-room. Then she pou-
dered, quickly, for she was deter
mined not to lose the chickens, and
the problem was solved. The hot
water bottle was requisitioned as a
substitute for the recreant hen. 1t
was filed with tepid water and plac-
ed over the eggs.
Then Mrs. Cross conferred with her
family physician, DR.. J. o. Van Wink
lie, regarding the temperature at Which
the water should be kept. She fol-
lowed instructions to the letter, with
the result that six chickens were
Matched today from the original. set
ting of thirteen. DR.. Van Wini;ie
is almost as proud of the brood of
chickens as the owner, happy in the
thought that he added in the discovery
of another of the multifarious uses
to which the esteemed water bottle
may be put.

care to girls and women, but teaches
them to help themselves as well 1t

has been making an investigation and
of fifty opinions expressed regarding
the favors of the samples, one-half
preferred the milk from cows fed
corn and bran, sixteen favored tne
milk from COWS fed oats, and nine
expressed no choice.
The department is of the opinion
that there is no great superiority in
the bran and corn feed, and believes
that the relative prices of the differ
ent feeds will determine in most cases
which will be preferred in making up
a ration for cows; that oats, corn,
alfalfa hay, cottonseed meal, linseed
meal, bran, gluten and other good
feeds for dairy cows, when properly
fed in reasonable amounts produce
a fne-havored milk.

of Dallas have not yet registered
but they still have an opportunity
to sign the books if they act prompt
