LOOKS GOOD FOR IDE
Washington Marshal Will Get
Collectorship.
HOPKINS WILL GO IN, TOO
President Wants to Settle Appoint
ment SqHaMile Soon Jesse Fire
"Will Be United States
Attorney.
"WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-One of the
first things considered by the President
today was the pending "Washington ap
pointments. Mr. Roosevelt expressed a
desire to dispose of the coses finally and
make the nominations "without further
unnecessary delay. It Is now believed
that Hopkins will be nominated as Mar
shal, and that Ide will be transferred to
the Collectorship, within a few days.
The next case to be taken up is that
of Jesse Frye, Senator Foster's candl-,
date for United States Attorney to suc
ceed "Wilson R. Gay, who cannot remain
in the service, owing to his unsatisfactory
record. There is little reason to doubt
that Frye will receive this appointment.
STATE GETS MUCH LAND.
Important
Ruling of Hermann
for
"Washington.
OLYMPIA, Feb. 25. State Land Com
missioner Callvert states that he has se
cured a ruling from Commissioner Her
mann that will enable the state to secure
several townships of land as indemnity
school lands that would otherwise have
been ultimately thrown open to general
entry. The state is entitled to about
800,000 acres of lands to indemnify it for
losses through entry before survey, or
through natural causes, of school sections
throughout the state. The state is also
permitted to advance the cost of survey
of townships for the purpose of com
pleting the various other land grants
from the general government, and the
amount thus advanced Is returned by
the Government when the survey by the
state has been accepted. The state has
caused to be surveyed more lands than
are necessary to fill the grants, and de
sires to file on the overplus as Indemnity
school lands. An attempt of this charac
ter under a previous state administra
tion was denied, but Commissioner Call
vert, while In "Washington, D. C, re
cently presented the matter very fully
to the General Land Office, with the re
sult that one selection list as indemnity
lands has already been accepted, and
several more will go through. He states,
however, that It will not be possible for
the state to secure all the Indemnity
lands it should have, as there will not be
enough Government lands of the charac
ter described to fill out the list.
While In "Washington, Commissioner
Callvert, with the aid of Congressman
Jones, arranged for the payment of the
first claim of the state against the Gov
ernment for the survey of the townships
referred to heretofore. The surveys cover
a period of several years, but this Is the
first move made to secure reimbursement
for the state for such moneys advanced.
The amount due from the Government is
about 517,000.
Another matter taken up was the rights
of claimants who have located mineral
ledges on school lands. The assurance
was had fromCommlssIoner Hermann
that unless the school sections in contro
versy were well known, before the ac
ceptance of the survey of the townships
wherein they are located, to contain val
uable mineral deposits, the' right of the
state to claim such sections could not be
disturbed. This will affect a number of
contests now pending, and some also
likely to be filed. Among the latter is
an Important one in Pierce County,
where the Olympic Mining Company has
expended, it Is said, $50,000 to $100,000 in
developing coal deposits. It Is said In the
State Land Office that the coal deposits
were discovered comparatively recently,
while the township was surveyed before
the admission of the state to the Union.
It Is probable that if the mining com
pany does not soon Inaugurate a con
test, the state will bring a suit in eject
ment to gain full possession of the sec
tion in question.
PROFESSOR C. W. DURRETTE DIES.
Former Portland Edncator Expires

OUTPUT OF "WASHINGTON MIXES.
Inspector Ovrens' Report for the
Year Jnst Closed.
TACOMA, Wash., -Feb. 20. State Inspec
tor of Coal Mines C. F. Owens has just
filed his report for the year 1901. It shows
that the amount of coal mined during the
year was 2,504,190 short tons, an increase
of S6,lli6 tons over the output of the pre
vious year. The amount of coke produced
was 49,197 tons, an Increase of 13,275 tons
over the output of 1900. Mr. Owens states
that but for the use of oil as fuel to a
considerable extent In California, the in
crease of the output over 1900 would un
doubtedly have been greater. The local
demand for coke and coal, it is stated, is
rapidly increasing, however, and a greater
increase In the output can be expected
this year. In Improvements and devel
opment work the report states that nearly
all the coal mines in the state have ex
tended their workings and Increased their
capacity for the present year's output.
The total number of men employed In the
mines is 4S2G.
There were 27 fatal and S82 non-fatal ac
cidents during the year, against 33 of the
former and 78 of the latter during the
previous year. In the mines that throw
oft dangerous gases, powerful ventilating
fanb are used, several of which have been
Installed during the past year: In places
where mine dust Is created the sprink
ling system has been adopted. As far as
the present Inspector Is competent to
Judge, the coal mines of the state were
never better ventilated or In as safe con
dition as they are at the present time.
STREET MAY BE PAVED AFTER ALL
Baker City Property-OivncrK JVo
Longer Against Improvement.
BAKER CITY. Or., Feb. 25. The prop
osition to pave .Front street, one of the
main street of the city, from Auburn
avenue to Central street, has been re
vived, and the prospect Is fair for the
paving to be done this season. It seems
that a number of property-owners signed
the first remonstrance through a misun
derstanding. They were of the opinion
that the price demanded for paving the
streets, with wood blocks, as proposed 1
In the city ordinance, was too high and
signed the remonstrance mainly to secure
a reduction In the price. Under the law,
a remonstrance signed by a majority of
the property-owners disposes of the mat
ter, so far as the Council Is concerned,
for a period of six months, when an
other proposition may be made. On learn
ing that they had tied the hands of the
Council many of the property-owners ex
pressed a desire to withdraw their ob
jection. Another petition has been pre
pared, asking the Council to go ahead
with the paving on Front street, and It
is understood that a majority of the
property-owners are now in favor of the
proposition.
Greater Demand forLnmber.
The demand for lumber from this part
of the state continues to increase and the
millmen are preparing to meet the de
mand, and supply It If possible. The
Oregon Lumber Company has over 3,000,
000 feet of logs on hands, and Stoddard
Bros, have about 2.000,000. Most of
this lumber will go to Colorado and Kan
sas. OFFICERS DECLARED OUT AGAIN.
Pendleton Conncll ElectH Marshal
and Recorder Fight Not Ended.
PENDLETON, Or., Feb. 26. Joe Blakley
and John McCourt were appointed at the
Council meeting tonight to take the
places of Marshal Heathman and Re
corder Beam. This Is another move In
the Council fight which has been on since
January 19, when n tie vote was cast for
ousting Heathman and Beam. Mayor
Halley cast his vote against Heathman
and Beam, and declared William Lane
and Lawrence Frazler elected. Heathman
and Beam filed an injunction against the
Mayor, the four Councilmen and the offi
cers appointed. Judge Ellis recently sus
tained the injunction against the latter,
but dissolved that against the Mayor and
the Councilmen. Tonight was the first
meeting since the Judge rendered his de
cision, and the vote was the same as be
forefour for and four against. A suit
will be filed against the new officers when
they are sworn in. They filed bonds to
night before leaving the hall.
INDICTED FOR RIOT.
Grand Jnry Files Bill Against Miners
"Who Made Alleged Scabs Move On.
BAKER CITY, Feb. 26. The grand Jury
today returned an indictment against the
13 miners who were arrested the first
of this month and bound over to await
the action of the Circuit Court on the
charge of riot. The Indictment charges
the men with riot. They were allowed to
go on their own recognizance. The men
are all at work at the Columbia mine and
it is doubtful, in view of the fact that
they have all repented of their folly. If
the case Is ever pressed against them. The
offense of the men consisted of ordering
two men regarded as "scabs" to move.

Other Agricultural Parsalt.
DAYTON, Or., Feb. 26. The dairy meet
ing held here yesterday afternoo n and
evening was a complete success. The!
meeting had been well advertised as a
creamery meeting and the attendance and
Interest manifested makes certain the
establishment of a creamery in Dayton In
the near future.
Dr. J. S. Courtney, the Mayor of the
city, caHed the meeting to order, and
was selected as permanent chairman. In
a few well-chosen words he stated the
purpose of the meeting, and welcomed
those in attendance from a distance.

OUTGOING STATE LIBRARIAN OF WASHINGTON AND
HIS PROBABLE SUCCESSOR.
I. P. CALLISON.
OLYMPIA. Wash., Feb. 20. Governor McBrlde this afternoon called for the
resignation of State Librarian I. P. Calllwn, and It was at once tendered, to take
effect at the Governor's pleasure. Mr. Calltson's successor will. In all likelihood,
be Joseph A. Gabel, of Chehalls, chairman of the Lewis County Republican Com
mittee. Governor McBrlde goes to Chehalls tomorrow to visit the Reform
School, and while there he will Investigate the claims of Gabel and Lewis
County's other candidate for Librarian, Thomas II. Dunckly, editor of the Cen
tralla News-Examiner. Mr. Gabel has -the Indorsement of the county Repub
lican organization, and of Senator Welty, and It Is generally understood be will
get the appointment.
tllity of -the solL By dairying you can
have your lands richer 100 years from
now than at present. This cannot be
done with grain farming. You can keep
a cow to every four acres, derive an in
come of $45 to $65 per cow, and raise
more wheat on the same area than you
are producing at present. In Jefferson
County, Wisconsin, 15 years ago the aver
age wheat yield was 12 to 14 bushels
per acre. Since the Introduction of mod
ern dairy methods in that county the
average yield has increased to 23 bushels
per acre. Dairying gives the maximum
return for the food consumed and the la
bor expended."
Dr. "Withycombe referred to some ex
perimental work In feeding bogs on a
diet of rolled wheat and water, stating
that a pound of gam was produced from
44 pounds of wheat. At the present price
of pork, this gives a return of nearly 75
cents per bushel for the wheat consumed.
Why Dairying: Pays.
Dairy and Food Commissioner J. W.
Bailey discussed "Advantages of Dairy
ing In the "Willamette Valley," In. part
as follows:
"With all the advantages (Offered hero
J the question Is often asked, JWH1 dairy
ing pay?' The answer Is, Yes, and for
many reasons. In the first place. It la
a cash proposition. There Is no credit
with the cow. You feed her today and
tomorrow she pays you back In cash.
The dairyman does not have to tell his
hired man he will pay him when he sellB
his wheat or when he sells a bunch of
lambs or barvests his fruit, for he has
the cash every week or every month. The
dairyman does' not have to run a bill at
the grocery or any where else, for his
business s on a cash basis, and he can
pay as he goes. Again, the dairy business
is a continuous business; it brings In
cash every week In the year. The fruit
man, the wheat man, the lamb man, or
the beef man gets his money in large
sums and at Irregular intervals. This
tends to extravagance In expenditure.
When people have lots of money they
spend It freely, and when the source Is
cut off they feel it sorely. A Washing
ton County' creamery patron recently
showed mo his creamery check for last
month, and it amounted to $191 03 for but
ter fat sold from 27 cows, and this does
not represent his total Income from his
aairy. as he has the skim milk. In addi
tion with which to raise calves and pigs.
"Now, when we speak of dairying we
do not mean the getting together of a
few scrub cows and making a lot of but
ter that will rival snow In Its whiteness
and lard In Its flavor. The up-to-date
J. W. BaUey.
dairyman will learn to test his cows and
keep only those that will return a profit,
No't many years ago we had practically
no butter market In this state, but today
there is a demand for our dairy products,
and at a price that ought to be satisfac
tory to the producer, and I am of the
opinion that the demand will Increase
faster than the supply."
Feeding: the Dairy Coir.
George W. Weeks, the best-known
dairyman In Marion County, discussed
"Feeding the Dairy Cow." He stated that
ho found pasturing too expensive and
practiced soiling. An area eight feet
square will produce a dally feed for a
cow. There are 320 such areas In an
acre, which comes pretty close to the
cow-to-the-acre proposition. Under pas
ture conditions. It require nearly five
acres to furnish the Summer feed and
the hay for Winter feeding. Corn will
produce from nine to 20 tons of green fod-

der per acre, and Is the king of crops for
ensilage purposes. Sweet corn was not
considered satisfactory, a Yellow Dent va
rlety known as Pride of the North being
recommended as giving best results. Mr.
Weeks thinks a great deal of the vetch,
both as a crop for green feed and for
silage purposes. He stated he had
changed from a feed of good hay and
bran to one of green vetches only and had
Increased the flow of milk. A general
discussion followed the presentation . of
Mr. "Week's topic. Involving construction
of silos, value of different breeds, best
kind of farm separator, feeding of sep
arator skim milk, etc
Co-operation in Dairying.
Professor F. L. Kent, of Corvallis, dis
cussed "Co-operation In Dairying." He
took the ground that any creamery or
cheese factory was co-operative in a
measure for It furnished a central place
where the raw material of a given lo
cality might be transformed into a fin
ished product. The chief advantages of
such an arrangement were held to be: A
lessening of labor In handling the milk;
greater profit as a result of the produc
tion of an article that would sell at the
highest prices; a stimulus to greater ef
fort by the comparing of methods and
monthly returns.

dressed the meeting on "The Southern
Pacific Company's Interest In the Dairy
Industry." saying in part:
"Every effort Is being made by the
transcontinental railroad companies en
tering the Northwest to Increase the pop
ulation of the Pacific Slope, and with this
end in view, low Tates have been estab

means of bringing thousands of people
Into Oregon, and If we would keep them
here among us It Is essential that our
home people should be up to date and
enterprising in. their agricultural, horti
cultural and business affairs.
"It Is quite true that our farm lands
are very fertile and productive, but It
our own people are behind the times, how
can we reasonably expect fanners and
others coming from Eastern States, where
the latest methods of diversifying and
cultivating crops are practiced, to be

"As an Instance of recent success in the

establishment of a creamery I will cite
the one at Independence, Or. It was
started the first of last year, and during
Its first month's operation paid out S561 09
to 51 patrons. The highest amount paid
during any one month was S123S, In Octo
ber, to 59 patrons. During January, 1902,
It paid out $1017 33 to CD patrons. Con
sidering the conditions existing in a new
locality where the people are not as a
rule prepared to supply milk regularly
to a creamery, this is Indeed a very good
showing for the first year. The world is
our market, but for some time to come the
dairy products of Western-Oregon will
be sold in the Pacific Northwest and
Alaska, where the population Is Increas
ing1 more rapidly than the production of
butter, eggs and cheese."
Steps to Get Creamery.
At the close of the afternoon session a
committee was appointed to solicit sub
scriptions of stock for a creamery plant
and canvass the surrounding country to
determine if there was a sufficient milk
supply in sight to warrant the building
of a creamers'- The committee conslslted
of B. Gabriel. Fred Wirfs, W. G. Per

Charles Beach and T. P. Caughlin.
The session were enlivened to no small
extent by the music furnished by a male

EXPENSES OF COUNTIES
1,050,000 PAID OUT IN OREGON IN
YEAR JUST CLOSED.
Statements Will Be Used In Cempat.
Ins; State Tax Under New Law
. Interesting; Comparisons.
SALEM. Feb. 26. The total expendi
tures of the several counties of the state
for the year 1901, exclusive of roadbulld
Ing, was $1,049,580 84. Thl3 is shown by
a statement Issued today by Secretary
of State Dunbar. The figures are taken
from the reports of the several County
Clerks filed with the Secretary of State
as required by the act of the last Legis
lature. The average expenses of the coun
ties tfor 1S01 and the four succeeding years
will be taken as tho basis for the appor
tionment of state taxes after the period
named has expired.
Secretary of State Dunbar has prepared
tables showing the population of each
county according to the last census, the
assessed valuation of properts', the total
area, and the percentages of state taxes
that would be paid on the basis of last
year's expenditures. As this last matter
Is the chief purpose of the new law, the
effect It will have upon the apportionment
of state taxes Is of greatest interest. Un
der the laws In force prior to 1901, each
county tried to keep Its assessed valua
tions down, in order to escape as much
as possible of the burden of state taxes.
In order to avoid and correct this evil,
the Legislature fixed an arbitrary per
centage of state taxes which each county
must pay for five years, after which the
proportion each county shall pay will be
determined by ascertaining the average
of the expenses of each county for a
period of five years. Each county will
then pay state taxes in the proportion
that its expenses bears to the total ex
penses of all the counties.
So far as this one year's Teturns are
concerned, the new basis will be material
ly different from that now in force, but as
the average expenses for five years is to
be the basis, the final result cannot yet
bo" determined even approximately. Under
the present law, Multnomah County Is
paying 3L23 per cent of the stato taxfs.
Upon the basis of expenditures for 1901,
that county would pay but 24.18 per cent.
During tho next four years, however,
Multnomah's expenditures may Increase
to such an extent as to raise her propor
tion of the state taxes. Clackamas Coun
ty, under the present system, pays 3.35
per cent of the state taxes but her ex
penditures last year. If continued for four
years at the same comparative rate,
would require that county to pay 6.62 per
cent of the state taxes, on tne otner
hand, Linn and Marlon Counties, which
have kept their expenpes down, are in a
fair way to experience a reduction In
their state tax burden. It Is possible that
Marlon, Linn and other counties which
have been running on a strictly economical
programme may find that their expenses
will be higher during the next four years,
thus raiding their general average.
In the following table Is shown the rank
the various counties take in the matter
of population, assessed valuation and ex
penditures. Thus, for example. It will be
seen that Marion County is second in both
population and valuation, but drops down
to fourth place on. the amount of expend
itures. Clackamas County, on tho other
hand. Is third in population, seventh In
valuation, but rises to second place when
it comes to spending money. Umatilla
County ranks third on county expenses,
but Is sixth In population and fifth in
valuation. Multnomah and Curry Coun
ties are the only ones maintaining the
same rank in all particulars. Douglas
and Benton Counties are quite uniform.
Douglas is ninth in population, eighth
in valuation and eighth in expenses. Ben
ton keeps the same proportion. Linn
County makes a good statistical showing.
It is fifth In population, third in valuation,
and drops down to 10th in expenditures.
