' r Total exDendltures made during tha year 1903 for municipal requirement, J6S8.040.2S. . Difference In estimates ; between a ' full-paid and a call system fire depart ment, $43,070. - City Auditor Devlin has completed the task of tallying up the estimated ex penditures which will be required, to operate tne city or roruanas municipal departments during the coming year, and "the proposed 'expenditures, as is ; generally .the case, will certainly exceed ' the Income from .'taxation and other .- sources. Possibly the estimates will be whittled down from 70,000 to -1100,000, 'although there will be a, revenue from a .number of sources not definitely flg- tirej upon, which may add about 130, 000 'to the revenues. 1 The principal feature In this year's estimates is the report from Fire Chief 'Campbell, which shows the required ap- : proprlatlons with both full-paid and the present "call" system, . The difference In cost is 943.070, but the item of cost Is -said to be small when compared with the greater efficiency and better footing -which the establishment- of a full-paid department would assure the city. This, however, Is a matter entirely with the executive board, whioh meets next Fri day to consider the estimates. To the executive board will fall the , necessity of paring down the estimates. This is a Job which will require more than a little tact, as each of the de partment heads -declare they have al ready toned, down their . requests to -a minimum. But - the present adminis tration means to keep the expenditures within the amount of income, and tho chopping knife will certainly fall wher ever it is judged best, : During the paat year the city officials proved themselves good financiers, for the 'month of December will end with money In nearly all of the funds', at least there has been no exceeding of ap propriation : In addition, the street signs and several other expenditures will be secured through Appropriations made this year. I Included intha, estimate which the SUGGESTS CHANGES IN FIRE DEPARTMENT Accompanying Fire Chief Campbell's annual report were a number of sugges tions as to the improvement of the serv ice text year. He says, In part: , "If a full-paid department is not In- clayed then an Increase of salary should be made to every man. ' "The giving of vacations at provided I for by the charter is a wise prevision, and is giving great satisfaction. "For the improvement of the service and efficiency of the department during the ensuing year, the most '. important factor will be the flreboat now under construction, and the benefits that will be derived from Its service will be in estimable. . . , DR.

The state board of Agriculture met yesterday" afternoon in annual .session and disposed of the business of the past year, made its reports and a report was ordered to be filed with the governor. The old board, then gave way, and the two newmembera,- appointed to All the vacancies caused by the resignation of Hon. W. H. Wehrung and J. H. Betti mler, took their places, -the other two men retiring from the board. The new board promptly organlzjtdg.by the' elec tion or tne louowina omctn, wno wau have the responsibilities of the Work of conducting; the next state fair: .rPresl' dent George Chandler, Baker City; vice- president, Jasper wllkins, Coburgj treasurer,., A. Bush, Salem; secretary W. A.Moores, Salem - The board appointed the president delegate to attend the meeting of the North Paclflo Fair association, ; which meets In Portland, to fix the dates of the various fairs in the Northwest for tha BRHnn of 1904. This association consists of the managers of the fairs of the Northwest, and by reason of the organisation It js made possible to fix the dates so that they will not conflict, and it also- brings attractions , to them that would not be secured otherwise. The board decided not to appoint the minor . officers at thia time, but ad journed to some date early In February, to, be fixed by the president, when the date of the fair will be. known. Before adjournment the president appointed the following finance committee: W. H. Downing, G. A. Westgate and Jasper Wllk ns. . The board, as it is now constituted, consists' of the .following members: Frank Lee, Portland, term expires March 14, 1906; W. H. Downing, Shaw, March 14, 1907; Jasper Wilkins. Coburg, March 14, 1907; G.-A. Westgate, Albany. March 14, 1905: George Chandler, Baker City, March 14, 1904. , -Tha Beportr The report ef President Wehrung la 1 follows: : . ,' To His Excellency George E. Cham berlain, Governor of Oregon Sir: As required by law, I herewith submit for your consideration the annual report of the Oregon state board of agriculture for the year ending December l,fl903. The officers of the board acting. the paat year are as follows: President, W. H, Wehrung, Hillsboro; vice-president, J. H. Settlemier, Woodburn; secretary, M. D. Wisdom, Portland; treasurer. A. Bush, Salem; members, Jasper Wllklna, Coburg: George Chandler, Baker City; C A. Westgate. Albany. The Oregon state fair was held under the management of the board, Septem ber 14 to 19 inclusive, 1903. The board paid, out $11,384.45 in pre miums on livestock, agricultural prod ucts and domestic-arts, or $384.45 more than the state appropriation,' a detailed statement of which Is herewith sub mitted. r We were also compelled to make a number of needed Improvements, Includ ing a water system, amounting in all to $9,298.86. For this work we issued Improvement fund warrants, of which you will find a detailed report under head of "building committee.". The fair waa a great success In every particular, and waa the largest and best exposition ever held on the grounds. . If, as- President McKlnley said in his laat speech at Buffalo, "these fairs are the time-markers of progress," certain ly our state Is ' making rapid strides along agricultural lines, for each fair Is better than the succeeding one. This method of promoting the prog ress of aarlculture ami livestock-brand. lng has proved Itself In other and older states as most useful, and we are con fldent- these friendly competitions be tween the farmers of this state is doing much to encourage them to better metb ods of farming and breeding. The Increased Interest -manifest in the fair the past few years has been very marked and Is full of promise for the zuture. We feel confident that no money ap propriated by the legislature has done more good or will leave a more lastlna oeiiem 10 me people or tne state. The tiller of the soil and breeder of domestic animals has need of a hlaher and fuller culture, a larger experience, a broader and more accurate knowledge and a clearer insight and comprehension lz ne ia to oe successful than the man who engages in almost any other profes sion or occupation. The work of the merchant, the miner, the mechanic, is plain and simple compared with that of the farmer. Successful farming is the true basis of prosperity In this state and the source from which all others must be. recruited, and whatever aid is given the farmer to advance In agricul ture will-be returned threefold to the people at large.) ,The aim of this board has been to stimulate and educate the farmer. The work done has been very gratifying and we nave every reason to feel encouraged. Respectfully submitted, W. H. WEHRUNG. PARADISE LOST IS CREATING DISCUSSION (Journal Special Service.)
