Occasionally we hear some silly
criticism about the extravaganza Of
the West Virginia State government.
These criticisms spring from the ig-

II would be hard to conceive OF a
State government that could be con

parsimoniously. The Intelligencer
does not believe that the people Of
West Virginia have ever given any Sc
rious credence to charges OF extrava-

necessary only to cite the facts. For
the sum OF about $3.50 per year per

DALLAS, Ore, Jan. 16-C. n.
Macarthur, congressman elect from
the Portland district. has filed a bill
with the country court of Polk coun-
ty for 1915 for is head Of dairy COWS
which were condemned and killed by
orders Of the state veterinarian, who
alleges that the animals were tuber-
cular. Macarthur, who formerly re-
sided in this county and who repre-
sented the county in the state legisla-
ture, owns a large farm near Rick
real, which he has stocked with fine
dairy cattle. The animals, killed
since December 10, were valued much
higher than the amount claimed, but
under the law the owner can only re-
cover their value as beef cattle. The
court will hold a hearing on the bill
January 26.

Farm Horses Vow sought.

BAKER. Ore, Jan. 1s.-Buyers OF
horses in Baker county are not limit
ed to agents of foreign countries. In
the last few days there have appeared
buyers for stock ranches in Colorado
and elsewhere. who have shipped out
several carloads of horses. These,
however, have not been of the kind
which would qualify for cavalry
horses, but have chiefly been unbrok-
en- yearlings and year olds, brood
mares or heavy draft horses
The result has been to take a great
many horses from Baker county and
the price on horses has mounted un-
til now horses quoted at from $40 to
$40 few months ago are command
ing as high as SIS to $50.
