The board will offer , $1300 in premiums, this year in eight prizes, as follows: First, $300; . , $150; aud the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth, $100 each. ; Department officers were; elect ed, Prof. F. h.

After lalkinp- over the matter for some 1 time Manager Koehler suggested the use of a small motor, now used between Dallas and Airlie, ' to connect the other and more important- town with the Dallas and Sheridan trains. This change would make it possible for the Independence and McMinnville people to make the trip to Portland, spend sev eral hours here and return the same evening; also for Portland people to make the trip up the valley and return the same day. Mr. Koehler has promised to look into the matter and the de sired change, will in all prob ability, be made in the course of ten days. Oregonian. New Surveyor-General JOHN D. DALY.
