TALLMAN & C2: THE DRUGGISTS THE COMING HORSE. C. D. Hascall, of Birch Creek, Speaks of Livestock in That Part of the County. u. u. iiascau. oi uircn ureeic, so miles out, is in the city. Mr. Hascall Is one of the most prosperous stock men In hi? part of the cotmtv 1 1-3 says a largo amount of wire fence will be strung in that country this spring. There is very little sickness among icople. and none at all among the livestock. What Illness tho people have been subjected to of late has been scarlet fever, hut there has been very little of that. .Mr. Hascall'-? opinion is that "the coming" horse in this part of tho state at least, is a grade of thoroughbred Clydesdale or Percheron and the best "improved" natives. Mr. Hascall acknowledges ail tho advantages of the Hereford, but nevertheless adheres to the be lief that tho grade Shorthorn Is the best animal for beef. Not that the beef itself is any better than Here ford beef, but it develops with less feed the grade Shorthorn will, on an nverage, weigh out moro beef in re ti.rn for n given outlay for feed anil attention, than the Hereford.

General Electric Supply Houses are 18 Months Behind With Their Or dersReason New 'Phones Are Not Put In. The sole cause for the delay In tho extension of the telephone system is thr simple Impossibility to" secure tin necessary electrical supplies The same condition exactly prevails In re lation to the lighting service. Tho gpnernl electrical supply houses 1 oth for telephone and lighting serv lrParo is months behind with their eiders nnd none of them are making contracts now to furnish nnythlng vnler two yeira fiom the date of tho outers. It is only those Anns that lave had their outers In for many months that have any prospects ahead foi the coming season. Tiies are the reasons why tlu agreements to put In the now 'phones i:i this city have not been carried nut. Still, the telephone company has had in Its outers for so long that they have reasons for expecting the ar rival of the long-delayed switchboard and other supplies by almost any train. When the now supplies arrive a:i the now 'phones will be at once put in and the reduction In rates will then tnke place to old 'phono users and to the new patron without any favoritism. But no one need expect any reduction to take place until the i uvr 'phones are Installed. The re duction will then bo as follows: Business 'phones, from $3 to $2.50 per month; residences 'phones, from $2.5(1 to $2 per month. These reduc tions will be on Individual lines. The only reduction that will be made on party lines will be to residences, which will be reduced from $1.25 per month to $1 per month. There will be no reduction in price for the use of business pnrty lines. LARGEST FARM IN WASHINGTON, DON'T SHIELD CRIMINALS. Scale and Aphis. G. M. Morrison, one of the wealthy farmers of the Adams country, was in the city yesterday. He has in 320 acres of wheat, all of which looks fine, as does all the wheat in that neighborhood. On account of the un favorable fall the acreage of winter wheat is scant, compared with the usual yearly average, but tho prospect ' celve for good prices for wheat next year is greatly encouraging tho sowing of both winter and spring wheat and it Is likely tho average will yet be reached this season. Mr. Morrison regrets that tho fruit trees in that neighborhood aro generally afflicted with scale and aphis. A pecullari'.y of that neighborhood In regard to fruit raising, is that peaches, cherries and apricota aro a failure compared with plums, prunes anil pears, and Uio reasons therefor are not under stood. Another peculiarity of tho neighborhood in which he resides ib that only early apples do well. Late apples do not mature. Tne health officer of the town of West Seneca, N. Y., reports that there aro SO cases of typhoid fever at that place, and prcbably more than 100 ad dltlonul cases net reported.

(To the Edi tor.) An article in the morning pa per announcing a petty theft by prominent people yesterday, is cer tainly worthy of t-omo consideration for several leasons. Had this act been committeed by some one in actu al need no doubt a detailed account with names, geneology, n circumstan tial personal history and a long mo-al lesson would have appeared In tho papers. The guilty person would have been held up' to public scorn. But prominent people are doubtless made of different flesh and their acts must bo shielded. If the fact of theft is certain there Is no reason for concealment; if un certain, no excuse for publicity. That prominent people can commit crimes nnd tscapo blame when dis covered, whilst others deservedly re- glaring publicity, certainly leads to crime and a feeling of con tempt for law. The home papers aro eagerly read by the boys and girls of our city during tho formative pe riod, when their lives and the knowl edge that it is owing to who commits crimo whether punishment follows is certainly undeseivable or rather posi tively dangerous. READER AN ANCIENT DOCUMENT. Land Patent in Pendleton Bearing the Signature of John Qulncy Adams. A. H. Todd, of tills city, owns one of the most extraordinary relics that has been exhibited in this vicinity. It is a patent to SO acres of land lying in township 51, range 35. of fie western land distjict of .Missouri, In what is now Clay county. The Instrument wan Issued tn John Gum, an uncle of Mr, Todd, and .Is dated April 21, 1825. It is signed by J. W. Graham, commissioner of tho general land office, and countersigned by John Qumcy Adams, president. It Is printed upon gennlno 3heep r.kln and while the reading matter s ell very deal' and legible, tho docu ment shows considerable hard usape. Mr. Todd's father vamn Jn possession of the land described in the numbers about tho beginning of tho war Foaring that his premises would ho burned or pillaged during the war, ho burled all of his valuablo papers, this among tho rest, and it became fcomowhat damaged by exposure. It Is printed in a small script type. nnd tho sheepskin is floxlble nnd soft yet. Tho signature of President Adams was made with a quill pen and looks as fresh as if It wore written year ago. Mr. Todd camo Into possession of the document in 18GC and or'es It One Seventy-Five Horsepower En gine to Plow Prosser Real Estate. Ben Groat, who farms on quite an extensive scale five miles north of town Is about to break the record for extensive farming in Washington, says the Prcscott Spectator. He has lately purchased six sections of land near Prosser and is going to break half of It up this spring. He has Just ordered through Fender Bros, of this city, five 4-bottom 14-inch New Deal gang plows for his Prosser farm. These plows will be attached to a 75 horse power Holt engine, which will furnish the" motive power to drag them over the extensive fields. They will cut a strip 2S feet wide every lound and notwithstanding the thing looks a little dubious to tho ordinary observer. It can be relied upon that Mr. Groat is attempting nothing Im practicable, for he is one of those fel lows who thoroughly know their busi ness. Dale Donley has been appointed a deputy assessor for the Prescott dis trict by Assessor Berryman. Air.

RELICS OF EARLY OREGON. Chest of Captain Gray and Trunk of Jason Lee at Oregon Historical So ciety's Rooms. It Is not generally known what a wealth of historic material Is to be found In the rooms ot the Oregon His torical Society in Portlnnd.
