PICKLED" EGGS AT MOLALLA Farmers ot the Mololla district are selling "pickled" eggs to the merchants as fresh furm eggs, and the merchants have been forced thereby to foot the losses to the profits of the farmers, ac cording to the Molalla Pioneer. Some farmer has boen running pickled eggs on the merchants for fresh eggs, says the Pioneer. It has resulted in a loss to thorn, aa they passed through the local candler and were detected after being shipped to Seattle with the result that there was serious loss in the shipment Under the provisions ot the pure food law the merchant as well aa the farmer offering limed or pickled eggs as fresh eggs are liable to severe pen alties, that paper points out It is no Joke to run counter tp the federal pure food law and the practice should be stopped. The merchants are on the outlook for the persoiiB putting these eggs on the market, the Pioneer de clares. The pure food laws are especially valuable to the farmer as they prevent cold storage eggs or Imported egga be ing marketed as fresh, thus coming in to equal competition with the fresh article, the Molalla paper argues. It Is strange that farmers Bhould violate the very law that Is worth so much to them as a protection, it concludes.

County Assessor Jack Wednesday received a notice from the state tax commission that the total appraised valuation ot all corporation property In Clackamas couuty was $6, 085, 961. 9S, which is a considerable reduction un der the appraised valuation ot all cor poration property a year ago, owing to the transfer of the Oregon City locks from the Portland Railway Light & Power company to the government and the dismantling of the old Crown Co lumbia paper mill. However, owing to improvements made in other sections ot the couuty, the total assessed valuation of all tax able property in the county will show a reduction ot only about 47,000 under tbo valuation of a year ago. The valu ation of all taxable property now Is $30,323,161.08, while a year ago it was J30.375.139.S1. Owing to the fact that much prop erty is tied up in the Oregon & Cali fornia land grant, the county can col lect taxes on only about $29,000,000. 0. K. COLE SUED O. K.

EXPLORER H1LLAN IS LOST IN ARTIC DANISH EXPLORER CABLE8 RAS MUSSEN RELIEF SHIP CAN NOT GO TO HIS AID. DAYTON. Ohio, Nov. IS. That Don ald McMillan, cxxplorer. may be lost in the north seas, beyond the hope of rescue this winter at least, waa Indi cated In a cablegram which Common Pleas Judge Carroll Spriggs received today from the Danish explorer Ras- mussen. , The cable dated Monday at KJoeben have, Denmark, said: "Cluett (a relief ship) arrived North Star bay September 12 after 35 days ice hindrance, motor damage. Dared not go to Etah account autumn ice. Missionary motorboat sent to Etah to bring explorers to Cluett" Inasmuch as it would have been nec essary for the relief ship to leave the North Star bay by mid-October It is feared that she is ice-bound, and more over it is believed that she has insuf ficient food aboard to last through the winter. McMillan and his party left three years ago to explore Crockerland. They were financed by the Smithsonian in stitute, Yale university, the University of Illinois and the American Museum of Natural History. The son ot J. H. Patterson, head of the National Cash Register company, is a member ot the party. L WOULD PLANK ROAD LUMBER IS OFFERED COUNTY AT $6 THOUSAND ANDERSON VIEWS CONDITIONS. G. A. Schuebel, supervisor ot road district No. IS, is trying to obtain the consent of the county court to replank a strip of road running east about one half mile from the foot ot Buckner hill. He said the present planking is worn out and the road is almost impassable and that Larkins & Jones, who operate a sawmill in the Beaver Creek district, have agreed to furnish the lumber for $6 per thousand feet. About 60,000 feet would be required. The road is rocked to the foot of the hill and has good planking east of that portion which needs to be replaced. District No. IS does not levy a spe cial tax, and its share of the general road fund this year was about $1800, but this money has been exhausted, and If the work suggested by Mr. Schuebel Is done, the cost will have to come out of next year's appropria tion. County Judge Anderson and Mr. Schuebel went over the road Friday afternoon. SCENE OF BOOTH K!LL!ffG VISITED BY THE Ml QUICK TRIP IS MADE FROM MMINNVILLB TO POINT WHERE SOOY WAS FOUND.
