suggested by the remonslrntors. The
matter whh continued until the next
meeting of the council, when the le

The first objection appeared In tin

Kvans, who slated that be shoub

assessment for the reason that hit ;

with a motion stating thai it hi tin

Councilman Creason explained a
once that the original plan wouli

amount but that the later plat
adopted had resulted In a new sys

from some record that Mr. Sindt's
birthday anniversary was March 9,
and Hie plan was soon completed by
the community to show this valuable
citizen that during his many years of
residence hero that they, each and
all, hold him in their highest es
teem; that his efforts in behalf of
schools, roads, etc., were not over
looked. When the charge was made
the surprise was a double one. The
honored couple were surprised, as
was evidenced by their expressions,
but the surprise that was a real sur
prise was when the fact was learned
that it was the birthday anniver
saries of both Mr. nnd Mrs. Sindt.
At this Juncture Ihe joy of the
guests was at its zenith, and if ft
pioneer couplo was ever entertained,
(his was the time.
The time was spent by the relat
ing of pioneer incidents; the pros
pect of our coming conflict with the
foreign nations; the changes in our
state, county and district, caused by
deaths, marriages, etc., and amusing
up-to-date stories. Games of cards
were In progress, and music was fur
nished by the Keyes orchestra. The
crowd appeared to be under perfect
control unlil Mr. Keyes caused the
violin to begin singing 'Whistling
Unfits, ' then it was time for small
boys to get out of the way, for the
couples were soon upon the parlor
floor (ripping the light fantastic, and
if anyone there ever had a care, it
was sure forgotten for the night al
least. The stampede was not com

The following item appeared in a
recent issue of the Pacific Hoine
Btead, one of the foremost rural
Journals published on the Pacific
Coast. It tells of the fine dairy cat
tle owned In the Ueedsport section
of Douglas County:
tieoige G. Carle and W. P. ReeiH
have exchanged their pure-bred Ayr
shire bulls. These are as fine blood
as. there is in the state. There are
eight such bulls In this section of the
country; the owners are W. P. Reed,
ti. U. Carle, J. II. Dallcy, Wm. Kou
pee. K. I). Duckett and J. It. Maben.
who owns three of them, and he
owns the only herd of registered
Ayrshire cows In this section. Mr.
.Mabcn's herd hull is Wlllowmoor
Sentinel 111, from Wlllowmoor farm
at liedmond, Wash.; the cows are as
follows: Dei-nice Sebastian 20.ri2S,
bred by .1. V. ltntterfleld Co., South
Montrose. Pa.; Haganetta 2.1030,
bred by Brown & Urondon, Peta
luma, Cal.; Oak Blossom 31995,
bred by J. A. Harrold, Woodland,
Cal.; Mercedes 27912, bred by
Hrown & Hrondon. These four cows
aro heavy producers. In one year
they have made in milk and cream
$UG, five calves $(Sr0, of which
three have been sold for $400 to It.
I). Ouckctt. or Scottsburg. Oregon,
which is one year's work for four
cows. The herd is a credit to any
county. Does it pay to raise pure
bred stock, or does it pay to raise
scrubs? Any man can see that the
best is none too good. We have one
of the best dairy counties in Ore
gon and we need more breeders of
fit) Ck
pursbred stock hsre. Wa have other
breeders who have other breeds of
cattle and who are shinning up the
ladder with purebred sires.
We welcome all such farmers.
We have a new railroad and you
watch us grow.

made last Monday has broken all
