He asks judgment in the sum of $262, alleged balance of claims, $40 damages, and the- costs and disbursements jf the proceed ings. Some little discussion has been in dulged in as to whether the city officers elected last May, were to serve a one or two-year term. The matter will proba bly be settled by the council at its meet ing next Monday night, and the prevail ing sentiment among the members of , that body seems to be that an election will be ordwred.

Mr, McFarland was in the city Saturday to pay bis tares, and -as he uses a wagon having 4-inch tires, he was granted a rebate "of 1 perheel." The la w, the object of which is to encourage the use of wide-tired . vehicles, ' offers a rebate of $2 per Wheel -on all yehie'es having tires .which exceed three Inches in width, and $4 for each, wheel if the tires are four iacbea and the front and hind tires do not rnn in the same track.

The particular charge against him-. is subordination of perjury in procuring men to make affidavits as location for a tract of land in the mountains np the Calapooia, and the land was to be deeded to him as soon as a patent is secured. It is said McKinley is .simply representing eastern inyestors and is only their agent in the matter. McKinley 's version of the matter is that it is the Nerthern Pacific railroad trying to down him. That he is loca ting parlies on 'some good' land which they want to grab. - Eskb and Peitltry. Farmers, I am in the market to buy all your eggs and chickens.'

At the. open, session of the Corvallis Grange last Saturday the .poultry quest ion, was up for discussion. , Dr James Withycombe in introducing the subject stated that Oregon farmers supply the state's demand for poultry bnt not for eggs t -. But large quantities xt poultry are shipped into California which ought to be' furnished by Oregon producers. Mr. C. H.Markhamef the S. P. R. R. Co., is authority for the statement that his company ' hauled to the California markets from : Kansas and Nebraska during 1899 a total of 224 car loads of poultry, at a cost of $1.50 per cwt." -A much better freight rate could be made for Oregon shippers. With the demand that exists and considering the tact that poultry gives the quickest returns of .any fkrm.stock there should be good money in the industry. ' - , .. Mr. B. R. Thompson was then intro duced and spoke on the subject, "The Most Porfi table Breed for the Farm." Mr. Thompson said in part: The ques-. tioa of feed is an important consideration and of course will vary according to mar k'etonditiohsTburwlll 6Ydinarilyrange Irom 50 cents to one dollar. .The average the past year-Was 75 cents. Good hens with ordinary care should produce 150 eggs annually. Last year the price easily averaged 15 cents per dozen, hence the receipts per hen were about $1.87), de-duct-75 cents for feed, and we have a net profit of $1.12 and the hen besides. With extra care more eggs per hen could be secured. The price for chicks ranges from $1.50 to 6.00 pt r dozen depending on size and market conditions. . Little profit can.be made on live poultry after the fowls are six months old, if feed costs much. There is a laying type and a meat type f the hen just as there is a milk type audit beef type of the cow. The dual purpose chick has not as yet been a success. There is no breed that success fully covers both conditions. I have tried Barred and White Plymouth Rocks, Brown and White Leghorns,, Silver and Laced Wyandottes, Black Minorcas and Black HambnrgSi - The Leghorns, Min orcas and Hambargs are the (best layers. The Minorcas are the largest of the lay ing type and lay the largest eggs of any breed.". J They also lay very evenly all the year around. Most "any old hen" w&l lav plentiful! in the spnngof tfo yea mib( For Men's Fishings M U be very ceflfusing attd' mislead- For Wash Goods' For Carpets IJ and prices . . .

Hardly supply the dry goods needs of the majority- of our necessary to . say that the quality townspeople, but draw trade from ' a large territory will prove reliable, and are now happens to be defective ill HI but the Minorcas can be depended on in winter as well as in summer if given good care . They are also good producers of live birds. When the market con ditions are best, that is with the birds from three to five, months old the Min orcas a-re as large as ha Plymouth Rocks because they are quicker growers, and this condition continues until they are from five to seven months old. "' !, The mortality among the young chicks is greater with the Plymouth Rocks, and I find my older Minorcas more .healthy than the Plymouth Rocks." . " . Have been able to' seenre two to five bents per dozen more for well selected Minorcas eggs than was the market price for ordinary mixed eggs. V ' : f ( The Hulbert Bros., A. Si and A. A. Jollowed Mr. Thompson in a discussion of the use of cult ivatots and brooders, the ' production of broilers, and : the breeding of standard birds for show pur poses. :',' - - Died at. Dawson. ' News has been received at . Albany of the death of C, W. Watts,' af Dawson City, Alaska, ; March th?; : Charley.' Watts was quite well known by the printing fraternity throughout "the state and by the people of this section general ly. He leaves a wife and daughter who reside in Albany. " ; .;.!.: -Mr. Watts was born in Yamhill county about forty years ago, and up to the time of going to. Alaska, about two ..years ago made' his home in' this state." He was a son of the well known pioneer Dr. J. W. Watts. He was a printer by trade and has been connected w ith ; various papers in the Willamette valley, at one time being editor of the Daily Statesman of Salem. He was a rustler and active in politics, and at one time reading clerk of the legislature and was chief clerk at another time, and gave splendid satisfac tion each time, lie was a good news paper writer. He resided in Albany for about fifteen Tears before going to the Klondike where he was engaeed in the job printing business. ' . When. Klondike excilmcnt was at its height Tie went te Alaska with.' several other Albany men, including D. B. Mon teith, who died at Skagway more than a. year ago, and Jwas his close ' friend. After engaging in ; the restaurant and hotel, business ' at' Skagway and Lake Bennett he went on to Dawson City where he again engaged iu the hotel business and also did a mining brokerage business in connection with some wealthy New York men, and was doing ' a good business until the Cape No"me excitement rather depleted Dawson of speculators. It was his intention to go on to' Nome in the spring. - . . ' Y . ' ' ' Has the Right Sonnd. . To the Editor, . . - . ; ; . Your answer to "A subs riber" on the question of "High Rate of Taxation" ill I believe be heartily endorsed by every tax payer in- the country. In addition to the salaries you mentioned of the county judge and county school super intendent that were raised without notice or knowledge of the taxpayers, of the county, I wish to call attention to that of the prosecuting attorney of this, district, lor over twenty years he has been paid a salary of $500 per year and allowed certain fees which made the office worth about $1500 per year, the last legislature raised his salary 16 $4000 per year .with out any previous knowledge or notice to the taxpayer; a thousand-dollars a year inore than is paid to the judge of. the pistrict: This raise is a clean" gift to the jpresecutiri attorney, as i he is not required to furnish or pay a single deputy, while the district attorney in the third district" in which, there is double the business that there is in thia district, receives only $150 more a year a?nd is required to pay a deputy in Marion county $500 per annum, Linn $400, Yamhill $250, Polk $240, THa mook $200. Such 'schemes as thia is what has contributed largely" to increase the taxes until the burden has become almost unbearable. The remedy you suggest is good as far as it goes, but I think in addition whoever is-nominated for the legislature should be required to pledge themselves to a reduction of the salaries named. I am in favor further of consolidating the clerks and recorders offices, and paying the clerk and sheriff in fees instead of a salary, then they will get their pay from persons who re quire and obtain their services. There was never a better way of paying a clerk and sheriff than by a well regulated fe bill.- Why should people who never go into court, pay for those who are always in court? ' '- . Tax Payee.
