an entrance by opening the door with a
key that served the purpose, which was
left on the counter. Suspicious persons
were seen around the depot building dur
ing the evening.
Several farmers In town today report
that Fall theat is slightly damaged, the
etalks having turned yellow in some in
stances. An examination of the roots,
however, shows that the later roots
formed are giving the stalks the needed
vitality, some condition of weather hav
ing deadened the main root. This may
cause a slight diminution In the yield,
but no bad results are anticipated. In
quiries from many farmers from different
localities fail to show that the aphis is
affecting the grain fields as yet.

The people of this place have been con
templating on the sudden arrival of a
party of surveyors, who are now at work
In the canyon above this valley. Their
movements are very mysterious, but s
they are surveying the old piece of grade
of the Corvallis & Eastern Railroad. It is
thought that they are here in the Interest
of that company, and that work will
soon be commenced on that road. There
are altogether nearly 40 men, and these
are divided Into two outfits, the one work
ing near the mouth of the canyon and
the other operating a considerable dis
tance above. No information can be ob
tained from them, and they are very sly
in all their movements. When passing
through Vale they would not put their
names on the hotel register, and no one
knows from what place they came.

The Belgian hare craze has struck
Baker City, says the Democrat. Bela
Kadlsh and Moses Fuchs have gone into
the business on a limited, scale, with the
chances of enlarging their business into
ponderous proportions off a small capital.
Messrs. Kadlsh and Fuchs received a day
or so ago two does from a rabbltry In
California, and the pedigrees attached to
them would make a Percheron stallion
ashamed of himself.
The Grant's Pass New Water. Light
& Power Company is erecting on the west
side of their power-house a building for
the making of ice. This plant will be
supplied with the latest-Improved hori
zontal compressors, wth a capacity of

erate an Irrigation ditch thl Summer, that
will cany 500 inches or water In an open
ditch, to Irrigate many .hundred acres of
land below the power-house.
It is promised that the Barbara Hernster
will run regularly between this river and
San Francisco, says the Coquille City Her
ald. The news is very acceptable to our
people. The captain has a very good
opinion of our waterway, and says the
Coquille has been much lied about by
skippers who for some cause took offense
or were prejudiced and preferred some
other run, and we have suffered damage.
He thinks with the completion of the Im
provements now in hand by the Govern
ment, we will have a most desirable water
way, and with the development of our
great natural wealth this valley will
command a very good service from aver
age coasting vessels.

Mr. Mlnto's Sheep.
Hon. John MInto. the pioneer shepherd
of Oregon, reports having received $22
for his half interest in the wool from 22
of his sheep. He lets the sheep out on
shares and gets half the net profits. The
sheep are merinos, and the wool sold for
20 cents per pound. Mr. Minto figures
that at 51 per head clear for the wool it
Is safe to estimate the value of the, shezp
at $10 per head. This Is semewhat'ln ex
cess of the value of the sheep 24 years
ago. for In the Fall of 1S37 he bought these
sheep at $1 50 per head.
Mr. Mlnto says that every farmer should
keep one sheep for every acre of land In
his farm, for this number can be kept
without expense, and the proceeds of the
wool will be clear profit. He considers
a band of 100 sheep on a 100-acre farm
to be of as much service in fertilizing
land and keeping out weds as a man ahd
a team.
Eugene Hawley. a farmer residing near
I Salem, reports the sale of SSs pounds of
wool from seven sheep. The sheep are
descendants of Mr. Mlnto's $1 SO sheep,
and were sheared when they were just
12 months old. The wool was sold at 11
cents, bringing $15 74. or $2 3 per head.
Salt to Qnlet Title.
A suit was commenced In the Circuit

M. Brown. The complaint alleges that
In January. 1S34. Freeman J. Eldrledge
was the owner of the north 67 feet of the
block, subject to minor easements, the
value of the property being $25,000; that
said Eldrledge was indebted to various
persons In large sums of money, and to
raise money with which to pay. them he
executed a deed fir said propertr to A.
1T Brown, said deed being in facta mcrx
that It was agreed
that Brown might
mortgage the property to raise money
with which to pay certain debts of El
dreldge, and that a mortgage was made
to Henry Hart to secure $3500 so borrowed;
that Brown has received profits to the
amount of $16,155, but has failed to ac
count for the same, and that, after paying
all other mortgage Hens. Brown borrowed
esm fr0Tr. r x. -nh a rt.
paEe on saIa prcperty to secure the
same.
The' complaint then alleges that at tho
SALEM
time he acquired said property Freeman
J. Eldrledge was indebted to D. M. Keene
In the sum of $12,000, which, with Interest,
was evidenced by several notes, the first
dated March 28. 194, and the last May
5, 1800; that on May 10. 1900, all these
notes were Indorsed to Hugh G. Eld
rledge; that on May 16. 1S00, Freeman El
drledge confessed judgment In favor of
Hugh G. Eldrledge for $17.S7G 41, the
amount due on said notes; that an exe
cution has been issued, levied on said
property and the property advertised for
sale; that owing to the state of the rec
ords the Sheriff cannot convey clear title
to the purchaser; that the only amount
now due Brown Is $5500. The complaint
prays for a decree declaring the deed to
be a mortgage, requiring Brown to ac
count for the rents and profits recelvea,
and that the person who may purchase
the property at execution sale be de
clared the owner In fee simple, subject to
the mortgage for $5500.
