A..E. Allen of Clatsop Is In receipt
of a valuable, communication from Hon
John Mlnto of Salem on the subject of
sheep, Mr. Allen bad written to Mr.
Mlnto seeking Information as to the
proper breed to Introduce on bis Clqt-
Bop farm, and also asked for pointers
oncernlng other kinds. Mr. Mlnto's
reply was an exhauntlve research Into
the subject, giving Mr. Allen good
Ideas on sheep and sheep raising. The
latsop man wrote particularly of the
UnUwin sheep. This, explained Mr.
Mlnto, Is tho Spanish Merino Improved
by Ilermont breeders, until It 1 ex
tremely wrinkled with surplus skin,
and that Is densely covered with thick,
greasy wool, which make It a slow
growing sheep 6f medium to small
slue, The Lincoln, Leicester, Cnls-
old and tho Romney Marsh are long
ooled biveds. and Dorset horns are
lowland, middle wool sheep of great
hardiness, very prolific of lambs nnd
are A 1 breed for mutton. Mr. aiiiiio
suggested that the Merino be not tried
In thl locality as the rain fall is too
excessive for that breed to thrive.

aherlfTe offlre for 10 day, and the de

ceej ,5oo, Thl la by far the beat
allowing ever made by Clatnop county,
and one of the beat ever made In the
ataie. The allowing I a particularly
gratifying one when It I conaldered
that there are nitir taxpayer In flat

county except Multnomah,
The new procea of hatching aulmnn
now tn votf'ie at aome of the Oregon
hati herlc nhould effect a big aavlng
In apawn. From the reports of the
IVhIi expert, It I etlmated that In for-
mir year about 4,000 egg have been
taken from each Chinook femule caught
Perhap one-fourth of the egg were
lout ,ao under the new method that of
tlral bleeding the null and then filming
the belly, ho that the nnan may tie
aliaken out Into a bucket without
handling the number of egg derived
from each fbh will lc fully S.000. If
each one of theoe egg wa uereifub
ly hatched an dthe enlmon returned 10
the river at maturity, the female would
produce fully tli.OOO worth of-wealth for
the llaliermiiu .with a market value of
Ili.OOO to $13,000. Theae figures give
aome Idea of the wonderful possibilities
of the industry. If 20 per cent of the
hatchery output for thl year returns
to the river four years hence or there
after .and all the salmon are caught.
the aeaaon'a work will mean more than
J5,(KV,000 to rtie fluhermen, and more
than twice that aum to the flan mar
ket.

any hesltan-. y to accept nlloled io

An interesting portion of the letter Is
where It refers to the new feature of
the club, known as the Humane De

Cathlamet Democrat Waxes Humorous
About Coming Election.
J, ru'.-e Pol worth, leader of the un-
terrified In Wahkiakum county, arriv
ed down from Cathlamet on the OaU
ert lat night. Mr. Pol worth has lately
been much nominated politician,
having been chosen' by his party first
a the candidate f r state senator and
later as the candidate for district at
torney, "I have accepted the nomination for
district attorney," ald Mr, Polworth
last night, "and have some hot of
success, in view ot tne tact mat i
have no opposition. ( It wa really a
shame tha way they threw those nomi
nations at me, and I was kept busy I
dodging for some days. I am now out
of the woods, I hope, for the election
takes place Novamber I, and It's too
late to hand ut Any more nomina
tion. So fur hs .he fight for state senator
Is concerned, I'm afraid the Democrats
have little chance. The Republican
candidate, J. T. Welsh, of South Bend.
used to lie a Democrat. Now, I fa
man Is ever a Democrat at any time
of his life. It a a sure shot that there
a big streak of usefulness In him; so,
despite thoe Idloiyncrasles known o
Republican principles, I believe Mr,
Welsh will make an excellent senator. I
About the legislative fight between
Harrington and Megler? Well, Har
rington is going to make a strong fight
and I think' he stands a very good
chance of ele-tlon. Megler has al
ready been at Cathlamet In the Inter
eats of his candidacy, and Is 'standing
on hi record' in the way of argument.
nd hi record is going to be a power
ful factor In his ravor. lie seems to
be peculiarly alive to the needs of the
great state of Washington, and over
across the river we will be ingratcs If
we full to send him back to Olympla.
For Instance, hefathered the sea gull
bill. That was his maatemtroke.
Later he saved the state In another
manner, when he fathered a bill mak
ing It a Wony or a misdemeanor for
uny person not drawing a pension iu
ear a G. A. R. button. I tell you,
when Megler stand on bis record, he's
.n,lliir nn anmethlnK that worth
standing- on.
"We have an excellent show to elect
three of the candidates on our county
ticket In Wahkiakum, which I an Im
provement."
Mr. Polworth Is a humorist ot some
note In this part of the country, anJ a
few mlnutea conversation wnn mm is
usually a eure for the blues.
