HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
levy in January ?
Attorney Ocncral Aaked to Render
Opinion on New Tax Law,
Whether a levy of state and county
taxes can be made In January, 1903.
Im a question that baa been presented
before Attorney-General Crawford for
hia opinion. The attorney-general Is
out of tho city and will not take the
matter up until his return.
The riueatlon arises out of the fact
that the new law changing the time of
levying taxes goes into effect January
I, 1904, while the levy of taxes under
the present system will not be made
until later in that month, when the
county courts hold their regular ses
sions. Under the present system the
assessment Is made In one year, the
levy made the following January and
the taxes collected in April.
The last legislature In response to
quite a general demand, changed the
time of payment from spring to the
preceding fall and provided that the
assessment Bhould be made prior to
July 1. the levy be made in September
und the taxes be collected before De
cember 31. Since the old law pro
vided that the levy should be made in
January and the new law fixing the
time in September will go Into effect
January 1, it is clear that when the
county courts meet next January tbey
will find the law changed.
LIVESTOCK SHOW OOOD.
Breeder. Bring Better Herd, to State
Fair Than Evev Before.
A better lot of dairy cattle were nev
er brought together In the Northwest
than those that are now to be seen
in the livestock department of the Ore
gon state fair. For many years the
most progressive and enterprising
breeders and dairymen bave been
striving for something better than
what they already had, and each
achievement haa but spurred them on
to another effort.
The farmer generally was not appre
ciative of the endeavors of the breed
ers until In the last few years when
dairying became a promising occupa
tion, and farmers found that they
must raise loss wheat and more stock
In order to maintain the productive
qualities of their land. Now every
one places a proper estimate on the
alue of the livestock breeders' serv
ices to the country as a whole, and
gerat Interest centers in the relative
merits of the different cattle. Individ
uals and herds shown at the fair.

Logging In Lane County.
An Idea of the amount of logging
done In Lane county may be gained
from the fact that the Booth-Kelly
lumber company alone has 50,000.000
feet of logs either In their booms at
the mills or ready to be floated down
the river. They have 4.009.000 feet
of logs at their Coburg mill and 10.000,
000 feet more doting down the Mc-
Kenxle. They have a drive of 6.000.-
000 feet more coming down the Wil
lamette to the Springfield mill and 18.
000.000 feet more banked ready for a
drive. The logs at the wendling and
Saginaw mills swell the total to 40,
000,000 feet.
Fin. Salmon In River.
The fall flshlne season has now
progressed sufficiently to establish the
fact that there is an excellent run of
steelhends and sllversides In the riv
er of fine quality. Fall salmon have
not yet put in an appearance, but there
are some tules. The price paid is 3
cents per pound for steelheads and 1
cent per pound for sllversides. Sea
borg'a cannery at Keagle Cliff is pack
ing sllversides and ia receiving all
that can be nanuiea.
Anxious tor Free Lock.

Shortage ol Men for Harveat.
There is any quantity of grain yet
unthreshed and In the field, around
Independence! And there Is an exten
sive shortage of men to handle the
,i.-Ai,i(r niitflt. A number of the
threshers have been compelled to
close down, some win not do acie io
get a threshing crew Into their grain
inside of two weeks.

FOUR CROPS OF ALFALFA.
Demonatratloa of Succe. of That Crop
on Heavy Clay Soil..
One of the entirely new and valuable
exhibits made by the Oregon agri
cultural experiment . station at the
state fair, Is a collection of specimens
of alfalfa, showing the successive
crops taken from a field in a single
season. The-fctatlon has been experi
menting with alfalfa tot several years
for the purpose of demonstrating what
can be done on heavy clay soils with
out Irrigation. The college people do
not conduct their experiment, under
unusually favorable conditions, but
sow their seeds on just such soil as the
average Willamette valley fanner is
using.
The airalfa exhibited was taken
from the field at four successive cut
tlnss In one year. The first crop was
cut on May 22, and yielded In green
forage 11.22 tons per acre. The sec
ond crop was cut on June 22 and yield
ed in green forage 2.70 ton. per acre.
The third crop was cut on July 28, and
yielded 2.80 tons per acre. The fourth
crop was cut on September 3 and
yielded 1.47 ton. per acre.
CHALLENGE HOP YIELD.
Lane County Yard Tarn. Out Nearly
3,000 Pounds Per Acre.
The best record for bopyards that
has been reported thi. season, or In
fact for several years, come, from the
yard of George A. borrls. ear
Springfield, which is regarded as one
of the best yards In the county. Mr.
Don-is has 10 or 12 acre., and from the
first five acre, picked and baled he
had 14.000 pounds of hops, or a yield
of 2800 pounds per acre. The yard
foreman says that Instead of this re
port coming from the choice parts of
the yard that the whole yard will not
fall below that average, and single
acres could be picked that would yield
3004 pound..
B'g Chuaka of Odd.
There was a display of gold nuggets
it the Medford bank a few day. ago
which were taken out of the celebrat
ed Sterling mine, owned by H. E. An
keny, about 15 miles south of Medford.
The value of the nugget. Is between
$3500 and $4000. They were all good
sized pieces and were all picked up
by hand during the clean np process.
The largeset nugget weighed nearly
