A, J. Peterson, of Oakdale, Polk county, has just killed an old horse, under the skin ol whose neck, is years ago, a two-bit piece was slippel, for identification in case of the animal being stolen.

The comparison of the Wasco county clerk's books with those of other years shows that the countv will save from 3000 to liSOO per year in that ollice unrinr Ihp flalarv avstein. The sheritC'R certainly mine ollice will not show anv materia every note issued by the banks. The Carlisle plau proposes that the banks shall guarantee their own notes. Mr. Homer, the putative father of the Balti more plan, says that hlB scheme am ply secures the government from any loss on its guaranty. Mr. Carlisle says in effect: "Very well; we will give the banks the same safeguards that you offer to the government and some others. If your scheme will save the goyernment harmless, will do as much for the banks." Somehow Mr, Homer is not convinced by tbis reasoning. He said to the Banking and Currency Committee that "it was too much to ask of one na tional bank to become responsible for all other banks in which it had no di rect concern." But why? Every other national bank would in like manner be responsible for the notes of this one. And the responsibility which the banks as a whole assume is precisely what they ask the government to assume. They say the gorerment would there by incur no risk. Then the banks would incur no risk. It it is too much to ask a bank to be responsible for the notes of other banks with which it has no direct concern, is it not too much to ask the government to guar antee the notes of all tho banks with which it has no direct concern? For the government proposes that the banks shall have all the safeguards that they proposed to give the govern ment, and 30 per cent, additional. In adopting a new financial system to get the government out of the banking business, we should make sure that we accomplish the end desired. To make the government the guaran tor of all the currency is not to attain the object contemplated. The Balti more plan fails at the most essential point, while the Carlisle plan attains tbe end desired. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. Furnished Every Week by the Clackamas Abitraot & Trust Company.

The Canemah Sunday school enter tainment on December 21st was a very successful affair, a very pleasing pro grain was presented, after which our old friend Santa Clans came in and dis tributed the presents to the little folks Mrs. R. W. Porter deMcrves great credit for drilling the children and attending to the Christmas tree, etc. She saw that every scholar got a present from tho well, Oiled tree. The Canemah school entertainment given at the old sclioolhcuse on De cember 22d was just what tho children had been looking for. Tlio program was a success and lasted until 10:30 p. m. All the 'chool children were present, to gether with many people from Oregon City; tho house was so crowded that the school directors thought it best to take down tho partition, which made room for many men to stnud. Miss Sade Chase read the prorani, which was woll rendered by all parties con nected. Neal Stupp had Santa Clans come into the school last Monday night and give e.ich one of liis pupils a larg'j bag of candy and nuts. There will be no vacation in this school. at the Racket et to In the eighth annual report of the Inter-State Commerce Commission, just presented to congress, some very interesting statistics concerning the railroads of the country for the year ending June 30tb are given. On that date there were 170,401.07 miles of line in tbe United States, being an increase during the year of 4,897.65 miles. Tbe tendency toward consolidation is shown by the (act that twenty-eight roads were merged, twenty roads were reorganized and sixteen roads consoli dated into other systems. There were forty-two operating companies having a mileage in excess of 1000 miles. The capitalization of roads reporting was 10,506,235,410, equivalent to 63,421 diil'erence, but, if anything, will fall short of meeting its expenses. The December bulletin of the National Association of Wool Manufacturers, in its animal estimate of the wool clip of the United States for 1894, shows that Oregon had on January 1, 2,529,759 sheep and on April 1, 2,481,014; 19,853, 652 pounds of washed und unwashed wool, tho average weight ueiug eight pounds to theileeco, while the per cent, of shrinkage was 05, and tho pounds of scoured wool 0,948,743.

Next to stable manure, wood ashes come nearest to meeting the formers' wants. Most lands are benefited by the application of wood ashes. While valuable chiefly for their potash, this is by no means their only merit Professor Atwator, excellent authority, says: "Ashos contain all of the food ingre dients tbnt the plants require from the soil, excopt one nitrogen. By their chemical action they render the inert nitrogen of the soil available to the crops. They also help to set free pot ash and other mineral ingredients plant food that are locked up in soluble combinations in the soil. They improve tne mechanical condition of the soil They make Jieavy soils lighter and conn teract the ill effeots of dronght. Thus, by virtue of what they themselves con tain and what they enable soils to fur nish, they constitute a practically com' plete fertilizer. Hence, like stable and yard manure, they are fitted for all soils and all crops. . And, finally, they are generally applied in large quanti ties, are exposed to scarcely any waste until they are used by the plants, and therefore their effect is as lasting as it is valuable. In many localities the high cost of wood ashes prevents their use. To meet this obstazle, Davis, in his book on ' 'Improving the Form, " gives a formula for artificial ashes which, while it may not analyze precisely like ashes, bos on repeated trial given practically the same results. For one ton: 600 pounds ground bone, 14 per cent phosphoric acid; 800 pounds superphosphate, 13 per cent phosphorio acid; 400 pounds ninriate potash, 80 per cent; 200 pounds sulphate magnesia, crude, 65 per cent; 600 pounds gypsum or land plaster. Tho formula can be varied. For use on grass as a pormnnont manure the dissolved bone can be omitted by using more of the bone duet Tho chief advan.' tage of using the superphosphate is that it gives a quicker action and mokes the fertilizer do better work when first ap plied And in thoso localities and on those soils where plaster produces no good results this may bo substituted by a good loam. It should be thoroughly pulverized. On many soils tho magnesia con be omitted altogether, so that if it were mado up of 600 pounds of ground bone, 800 pounds of superphosphate, 400 pounds of mnriato potash, 800 pounds of gypsuin or loam, it would make a first class fertilizer, though not con spouding fully to the ashes. In using this it will be borne in mind that the bone supplies phosphorio acid and lime. The potash salts give the potash needed, and the superphosphate affords lime, phosphorio acid, sulpliurio acid and a small percentage of nitrogen. This last element is a very valuable one which ashes do not afford at all. If gypsuin is used, it also supplies limo and sulphnrio acid, for it is of itself simply Bulphate of lime. Sulphate of magnesia gives also sulphuric acid and magnesia. fertilizer thus mauo up has proved or great value on meadows, pastures, sown grain and hoed crops of all kinds. It is permanent in its influence, as the bone dissolves slowly, whilo the mechan ical action unlocks latent elements of plant food and makes them available for immediate uso. and witty contributions that have here' tofore given this popular calendar its charm. It can be had for five 2 cent stamps from the Pope Manufacturing Company, Hartford, Conn., or from any Columbia bicycle agency. For Sale or Trade.
