In another race, the Tortora mare, ridden by Mike Kline, is to go against the Brown horse a. quarter of a mile. In a third race, the Tortora mare goes against the Brown horse a quarter of a mile and gives t'le latter a lead of a foot for every pound it is outweighed by the mare.

Four ring-necked pheasants, better known as the English pheas ant, were recently received from Chicago by Samuel Bane. They are all male birds-and are to be add ed to Mr. Bane's pheasant yards, in which he has several ' varieties, in cluding Mongolian, Amherst and Golden. A dozen female ring necks are expected : to arrive next week from Cape Cod, Massachu setts. A letter from there received a day or two ago, related that the birds were at large in a fifty acre lot and that they were getting so much feed on the outside that they would not follow the bait into the nets where they could be snared for shipment. Contractor Mitchell is wrest ling with the problem of a scarcity of men on the pipe line. Only 14 men were at work on the ditch a day or two ago, when fifty would have more nearly represented the number wanted by the contractor. A gang of 25 men was brought from Portland 'Some time ago, but after a short time thev left tn trn in to railroad work in Southern Ore gon. Later, a gang was brought from Dayton, Oregon, but some of these have gone elsewhere. The - wages paid is 22 1-2 cents per hour, with an allowance of an hour per day on l full pay for going to and from work. The railroad activity in various parts of the Northwest probably has much to do with the scarcity of laboring men. It will probably continue so all summer. Prof. I. N.

At the beginning of win ter usually there is a generation of San Jose scale but half grown. They usually survive the winter and constitute a very large stock on hand for the" ensuing season. Up to the arrival of the cold wave; they had survived the current winter, but it is considered very possible - by ProfV Cordley that; the resultant low temperatures have chilled them . to death by the myriads. If so, the fact will be manifest later on. when by lifting the lid to the scale the bright yellow spot below, which is in reality the insect, .will be seen to have turned to a brown, indicat ing that the hated little scoundrel is no more. .--, Isadore Jacobs was tbe-victim of a serious accident late'Tuesday evening. He was in the act of as cending the stone steps at the court house entrance. When almost at the top, he stumbled and fell. In some unaccountable way, he seem ed to sink down and roll backward, in which position, with his head downward he slid on his back the entire flight. When he finally stop ped, his head was resting on the bottom step with his body and low er limbs slanting up the steps. He ; did not move after his fall, and peo pie hurried to the spot expecting to , find him unconscious. He w?s quickly carried home and surgeons summoned, who found that his . 'principal injury was the tearing . away of some ; of the ligaments of the knee. Strange to say, his head and back were not injured though they appeared to those who watch ed to have btrmped their way suc cessively down each step of the ' long stone flight. Accompanied by his sister, Miss Eda Jacobs, the vic tim of the accident was taken to Portland Wednesday, - to enter a hospital, Mrs. John Day U Stricken With Ty phoid at Forest Grove. A few, days ago Mrs. John Day, in whose family there were recently three deaths from typhoid fever, went to Forest Grove accompanied by her only, remaining child, Ben nie, to be with friends in rthat local ity for a time. Mr. Day himself-. remained in Corvallis but on Wed nesday he was called to the bedside of. bis wife. - When he was sum moned, her illness was not thought to be serious, but a letter received here yesterday . conveys the sad news that Mrs. Day is prostrated from typhoid' fever. Much concern is felt concerning Mrs. Day's illness. ' It is known that her vitality was much reduced in consequence of the wearying care of the afflicted family and the nervous strain as a result of her late bereavements, and she is poor ly fortified to withstand the attack of typhoid. It would seem that the family had already experienced their share of trouble. A Cattle Food Alleged to be a Good Substitute for' Oil Heal. The O. A. C. experiment station has discovered the bogus character of feed that is on the market, for which there is a claim that it is a good substitute for oik meal. Its price is slightly cheaper, but chem ical analysis shows that in food val ue it is not even as good as clover hay, though its promoters allege it to be as good or better than oil cake. The name of the preparation is "CafrocaOil Cake Meal." It is 1 not the only 'fraud " on the market, the high price of mill feeds having encouraged the manufacture of, sub stitutes. The principal nutriment with which dairymen are concerned is protein, and oil cake is prized for this substance" ' Cafroca contains only 9.20 per cent ot protein, while the common oil meal' c6n tains 33.2. Cafroca is not even" as1 rich in pro tein as good clover hay. Besides, it contains a very large per cent of crude fibre , being 41.59 per cent, while oil meal only" Contains 9.5 per cent. Dairymen should be careful in purchasing this of" any other sub stitute for oil meaP or other mill feed. The commercial- price ot nearly all 'these substitutes, as shown by analysis at the experi ment station, is altogether dispro portionate to their food value. Lyceum "Lecture Course. , . Harry T.
