School District Taxes.
State Superintendent McElroy yester
day was sending out to county superin
tendents a circular letter calling atten
tion to the provisions of law respecting
the levying of school taxes. The law
provides that after the state equalization
shall have been completed the county
clerk shall, upon application of the
clerk or board of directors of any school
district, furnish a certificate showing
the aggregate valuation of assessable
property in the school district. The
school clerk shall notify the county
clerk shall compute the tax of individu
als on the assessment rolls.
Many school clerks neglect to observe
the terms of the law and they may find
themselves without sufficient school
money before the end of the year. On
pages 62 and 63 of the school laws are
full directions in the matter. Salem

Larger Than Portland.
The conditions of the Manchester ship
canal were much the same as we have it
in Oregon, in the matter of Portland
and The Dalles and an open river ex
cept that The Dalles is not quite a Man
chester, nor is Portland quite as large as
Liverpool. It is almost an unbroken
rule throughout the world that the city
at the head of navigation is larger than
at the river's mouth or on the sea coast
that is why Liverpool so bitterly fought
the ship canal and why . Portland is not
anxious for an open river. But the ship
canal is built, and the Columbia will be
opened. Fossil Journal.

THE MARKETS.
Business Dull and Merchants Invoicing--
-The Latest Quotations.
Fkiday, Jan. 12. The past week has
developed no new phases in business or
the market. The stockj of merchandise
on hand are somewhat broken and the
merchants during the quiet season are
employed in invoicing, straightening
and balancing up their books preparatory
to the incoming business season. Prices
remain th'e same in all lines except that
of salt, which is lower in the market
than ever before.
Produce of all kinds continue in good
supply and prices remain nominal with
out any indication of any change in the
outlook. The egg market is down and
dealers are paying 15 cents per dozen
today. The poultry supply and market
is dull.
Live stock for butcher's market are in
fair demand. Good fat steers are quoted
at $2.25$2.50. Dry cows at $1.65$2.00
per 100 lbs. Mutton sheep are in fair
supply on former rates. Fat hogs are in
medium Bupply for home market and
are marked down to 4 to 4J cents per lb
gross weight.
The cereal market is decidedly off in
activity. Barley for feeding purposes is
dull at 50 cents per 100 lbs cash to 55
cents in trade. Oats 75 to 80 cents per
cental. There is nothing to say in re
gard to the wheat market. Eastern and
Liverpool markets, while not really dis
appointing, are not hopeful, as advices
are of a weaker tone.
The wool situation continue!) gloomy.
Several lots of Eastern Oregon changed
hands in Boston not long since at 6 and
8 cents per pound.

COYOTES HUNTING.
Believing; Each Other In the Chase After
Fleet-Footed Jack Rabbits.
"Did you ever see a pack of coyotes
a-rustlin ior grub?" asked an old Cali
fornia miner of a reporter recently.
lve lived on the desert for nifrh onto
thirty years," he resumed, "and seed
many a queer sight, but coyotes a-
rustlin' for grub beats' them alL Them
animals are as well trained as any
body of soldiers ever was under Gineral
Grant. They elect a captain, whether
by drawing' straws or by ballot I don't
recollect off-hand. Just at daylight a
reveille calls the pack together and
they come yelpin' and howlin over the
desert like a lot of things possessed,
their appetites sharpened by the crisp
air and eager for their reg'lar diet of
jerked rabbit meat. The avant cour
iers sniff around among the sagebrush
and greasewood, while the rest of the
band form into a big circle, sometimes
spreadin out on the plain over a radius
of two or three miles. The couriers
head a jack-rabbit in the circle and
the coyote nearest takes up the chase.
"You know a jack rabbit can run ten
times faster than a coyote, and when
the one in pursuit gets tuekered out
the next one takes up the chase, and
so on till the jack falls down dead from
exhaustion. Then the whole pack leap
onto him, their jaws snappin' like
-sheepblades in shear in' time. Then
when the jack is disposed of another
reville is sounded and the pack again
form into a circle, and the circus is
kept up until every one of the yelpin',
yeller devils, has satisfied his appetite,
sometimes killin' hundreds of jacks
and cottontails fur one meal, fur a
coyote can eat a jack as big as himself
and then looks as if he was clean
starved to death. I was clean through
the late unpleasantness with Gineral
Grant and I know what scientific sren-
eralin' is, and them coyotes know as
much as any soldiers that ever lived
about army tactics. The commander
in chief is usually the oldest coyote in
the pack, and he sits on a knoll where
he can give orders to his lieutenants
and aids, and what they don't know
about ambuscades, maneuverin' and
field tactics ginerally ain't worth
knowm'."

ing upon its 75th year, is the pioneer farmer's
paper in the country.
It is a large eight-page paper, add contains 56
columns 01 the choicest agricultural and liter
ary matter, plentifully embellished with fine
illustrations. It ia v
NATIONAL IN CHARACTER,
and deals with farming and farmer's interests
on broad, practical lines, it
EMPLOYS THE BEST WRITERS IN.

the highest character. Every department of the
farmers business is discussed in an earnest,
practical way, looking to the greatest profit and
benefit to the farmer and his family.
It appears on the 1st and 15th of each month,

FARMER LEGISLATION.
During the coming year there will be an im
mense number of matters of the most vital in
terest to farmers dealt with by Congress and the
Executive Departments at Washington. It is
highly important that the farmers be kept
promptly and fully informed as to what is being
planned and done affecting them at the National
Capital. They should all, therefore, take The
American Farmer, which, being on the ground,
has better facilities than any other papers for
getting this information, and devotes itself to
this duty. They will find in it constantly a
great amount of valuable information that they
can get in no other paper.
The American Farmer and The Chronicle
will be sent one year for f 1.75.
