. Difference In estimates ; between a

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

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. . . ,

WEHRUNG'S REPORT
ON STATE FAIR
'Salem, Or,, December 17. 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.

(Journal Special Service.)
Eugene. Or.; DecV 17.-Dr. Thomas

Black hills, in South Dakota,' a large box
containing a fine .jcollection of fossils.
The fossils are sea; shells resembling the
cnamDered nautilus.';;:;.';:,'- --iXi-At
Dr. Condon explains that tha region
around the Black hills was Ac one time
a part of tha ocean. When the Rocky
raountalna were pushed up out of the
ocean the sea shells clung to the mud
and were raised -up- to- the crest -of the
mountains, f The mud became rock and
the shells were hidden awy to be found
centuries afterward.
W. E.v Smith, a recent arrival here
from South Dakota, brought with him as
a pocaei-piece a specimen or tne. iossu
shells found in the Black hills. By
chance Dr. Condon saw the specimen and
Became very muoh interested in it
When Mr. Smith saw the Interest which
was taken in he'epeclmen he wrote to
friends In Dakota to send a selected col
lection. The veteran geologis): Was much
elated yesterday whan 'the box arrived.

What Weakness lis
and How I Cure It .
"Weakness" is merely - a
. symptom of chronlo inflam
mation . in' the prostate
gland, brought on by early '
. dissipation or by the im
proper treatment of soma
contracted disease. . A com- .
plete and radical - cure - is
- therefore a question of re- ,
storina prostate gland to Its
normal state, and thia I ac-
i cnmpllsh promptly and com-
fletely without the use of
nternal remedies. My treat
ment is a local one entirely. ;
It is original and scientific, '
', and has been proven abso-
lutely ' effective by thou
sands of tests. I am ' con
vinced that by no other
methods can full and per
manent restoration of
strength and vigor be ao-complisbed.

continue?
I am satisfied that you do all you
claim. - Surely no worse case, of.
"Weakness" existed than mine, yet
I am delighted to state that I am
cured. 1 ',- "
A certain doctor sent me to you,
saying that my case was one for a
specialist I am now entirely well.
" There is a popular Impression that specialists' fees ire exorbitant.
If such be true, we wish to state that It ia not applicable to us. On the
contrary, our very large practice and unuaual facilities' for treating
men enable us to offer the very best treatment inexpensively.
