Of Interest to Farmers.
Some interesting statements and
words of warning to American
farmers are given in a report on
pure seed investigations submitted
to secretary Wilson. It says
thousands of pounds, probably tons,
of grass and clover seed are ship
ped annually into the United States
which contains all sorts of vile
weed seeds Among these such
pests as the Russian thistle, Cana
dian thistle, wild mustard, chess,
doddard, wild daisy, trefoil and
plantation were introduced. Near
ly every year witnesses the advent
of additional pests of this character
brought to America in the same
manner. The difficulties in the
way of eradicating such seeds,
when they are once established in
a community, are well nigh in
snneraW.e. A hrjje amount cl
cheap seed is now being sold as
novelties at fancy prices throngh
manipulation of the name and the
report, says that the German coffee
berry, which many salesmen are
now advertising as a cheap sub
stitute for coffee, is really the coni
mon soja bean which can be bought
cheaply almost anywhere. A col
lection of 15.000 vials of seed from
nearly all parts of the world have
been made at the department to
assist in testing the foreign seeds
found in commerce and the de
partment will thus be able to give
warning against new and dangerous
pests. The report says most of the
imported seed could be duly raised
here, opening new avenues ot profit
to American husbandmen and it
particularly points out sugar beet
and hairy vetch seed as capable of
being made an important industry
One of the coming men in Oregon
politics is Bishop H. L. Barkley.
He is a man of the people and holds
a very close place in the hearts of
the masses. J
E. M. Waite, the veteran printer
of Salem, dropped dead while tak
ing part in a baseball parade in that
city last Tuesday. There was to
be a match game between the bar
bers and printers, and Mr. Waite
was leading the procession of print
ers with tbe proverbial pnnteis
towel as a banner. Suddenly and
without warning he sank to the
ground. He was hastily picked up
and carried to the nearest drug store
but life was extinct.

Upwaids of $5,000 worth of old
record books, receipt books, jour
nals, ledgers, and various other
kinds of books of the old O. P. R.
R. company were burned Wednes
day. All the company books that
were considered of value were
at the court house. Jacob Blum
burg wanted to purchase the books
and speculate on them at the ex
pense of some paper mill, but
Superintendent Stone thought it
a bad idea tp have the books scat
tered over the country, so he had
them hauled to the place where the
old turn-table once stood and con
signed them to the flames. Cor

From present indications, says
one of the Astoria papers, the sal
mon pack on the Columbia this
season bids fair to be the largest in
several years. It is estimated that
to the present time 300.000 cases
have been packed, and, judging
from the experience of former years,
there is every reason to believe that
at least 250,000 cases will be put
up between now and the end of the
season. There have been no big
runs of fish, but the run has been
unusually steady, and the less
expert fishermen have made nearly
as large catches as those who crowd
down to the bar. As a result all
the men have done well, and when
the season is over will have good
sized balances to their credit.

Anton Planner, the Forest Grove
bauker who recently closed his
bank and decamped, was a gold
bug democrat and voted for McKin
ley and kicked on what he called
50-cent silver dollars. A report on
the condition of his bank shows
that ol the $48,390.49 deposited
with him, $20,216.37 was subject
to check and $5,000 was demand
certificates of deposits. The cash
on hand when the bank was closed
was $1,744, and even that amount
the depositors cannot touch. These
depositors would be well satisfied
if they could get the fifty-cent dol
lars that Mr. Pfanner kicked
against. There were a good many
such bilks as Pfanner in the last
campaign. Budget.
Nebraska is the first state to
bring within the reach of tbe voters
under city and town governments
the systems of the initiative and
referendum. Two-thirds of the
voters of a locality must accept the
plan before it becomes a law of
politics, and Omaha will be the
first city to submit the question at
a special election shortly to be
held. If the rule is adooted then
15 per cent of the voters may there
after by petiton propose ordinances,
and 20 per cent, of the voters may
compel the city government to sub
mit proposed ordinances to a vote
of the people. So far the initiative,
so-called. For the leferendum it
is provided that ordinances passed
by the city council shall not go
into effect lor 30 days, and if
5 per cent of the voters petition for
the submission of any ordinance to
popular vote the same shall be
submitted, and must be approved
by a majority to come into effect.
If 10 per cent of the voters petition,
then the ordinance shall be sub
mitted at a special election held
within 20 days. Ordinances re
lating to the immediate preservation
of the puplic peace and health, and
items of appropriations for current
expenses not in excess of those
made the previous year, are excepted
t rom the referendum rule.
Marion county is liable to have a
lawsuit with her assessor. The
assessor claims $4 per day for
assistants and the court has made
an order allowing only $2.50 and
$3 per aay. 1 be court refused to
audit the bills for a greater sum
and the assess6r will sue the county,
his attorneys being Tilmon Ford
and W. II. Holmes. This will
settle a vexed question as to
whether the assistants of a county
assessor are to De paia the same
amount per deim that the taw
allows the assessor.
Man wants but little here below,
and though we toil and sweat,
