Charged With Felony.
Sheriff Barnett retnrned from
Eugene yesterday ia charge of
one Haskins, who was arrested
in that city Sunday, charged
with a felony committed in Ben
ton county on or aboat the 17th
of this month.
Last week, Mr. West, proprie
tor of a livery stable in Eugene,
came to Corvallis and swore out
a warrant for the arrest of Has
kins. , According to Mr. West's
story, Haskins hired a riding
horse from tha West stables a
ceuola of weeks ago, and later
returned to the stable with the
saddle and bridle and stated that
the horse bad taken fright at a.
hoff which suddenly crossed the
road near Muddy river , a short
distance from Monroe,' jampefi
into the stream and was drown
ed. - ' r,
Upon inquiry, Mr. WestJearn
ed that Haskins had been sees
by parties ofl the. road leading to
Junction and Monroe and he was
riding the animal at a desperate
ffait. Near Monroe it is alleged
he was seen walking and driving
the horse which was 'badly
fagged. With this information
in his possession, Mr. West be
lieves that Haskins punished the
animal so badly from hard riding
that it was nearly dead and that
then it was driven into the river,
where it died. '
Upon 'advice from this city
Haskins was arrested at Eagtne
by the sheriff f Lane county
and he will be given a hearing
before Justice Holgate. Felony
is a penitentiary offense and
may be punished by fine or imprisonment.

A partv writing from Green
leaf, Or., to the Practical Farm
er, has this to say in favor of
rape:
I iava given Dwarf Essex
rape a trial and think it will be
worth more to mt than any other
single crop. " As an experiment
I sowed a pound of the seed in
'99. The following winter it
was led down . closely by horses
and deer, both of which seemed
fond of it. Last summer it grew
higher than my head, and though
it was allawed to get too ripe
and I lost half of the seed, yet I
saved izyi pounds. I sowed
oae-qflarter of an acre on the. 10th
of September last; from Christ
mas to April 1st I mowed this
and fed it daily t two tows,
with tha exception of two weeks
when thtre was saow on the '
ground, t Then I changed to tha
same weiaht of ratabaeas aad
there was a decrease fa th milk
flow. If a carrot be fed with the
rape it is left till every leaf of
rape has been eaten.. The plants
mowed at New Years were ready
to cut aeaia in 2 months.
Hogs eAt it greedily. . By sow
ing ia JulyT expect to feed it all

will take the place of roots which

detect any odor or flavor f rape
in the milk. The Agricultural
Department regrets : that rape
seed cannot be grown profitably
in this country, and the bulk
has to be imported. One man
in Oregen last year raised 30
acres of rape teed, and it paid
better than wheat, r

Ia response to a request from
Regent Joha Daly, Capt. J. T.
Apperson came np from Oregoa
City, Friday. They met to d
tetmiae what coarse to follow in
the matter of water sn paly at

water they get eame up :n thai

ing was tlen. raised and again
put down, but this time only te
a distance of forty - feet. This
took it down to a strata of slate,
when they secured an abundant
sepply of ; water.-X:;This: makes
the water supply eome from a
depth of about 80 feet Regents
Daly and Apperson decided to do
nothing farther at present in the
matter, as everything indicates
that : the water apDly . will ; be
snffieient for this year, and to at
tempt to better "well enough"
might result disastrously. Un
der the present - condition they
acted wisely in not : jeopardizing
their present water Supply at the
college. - However, at the elose
of the present school veat it may
be advisable to do something
furthttr to make ample provis
ions for the future.
